Chapter 11 Departure, Rongcheng

The sky was still clear, and the autumn breeze was blowing, carrying those early yellow leaves around the air, and finally falling to the ground, covered with dust.

Early in the morning, Wu Xiaorou took advantage of the hazy daylight to step on the bus to the county seat of Rongxian County.

Last night, she had already told Wu Youcai and his wife that a friend in the county town called and asked her to go shopping in the county seat together.

Wu Youcai and his wife did not doubt him, nodded and agreed, Lei Xiaoqin also took out fifty yuan from a certain place in the room, handed it to Wu Xiaorou, and let her buy it when she saw something she liked.

Holding the money in her hand, Wu Xiaorou's nose couldn't help but be a little sour, she knew that this fifty yuan was not a small amount of money for the current family, just talking about buying meat, she could eat it for at least a month.

But now that the money is in her hands, she feels the warmth of her parents again.

The car sped down the road and headed for the county seat.

At this time, the road condition was not very good, and there were potholes everywhere, which was far less smooth and soothing than the later rural road renovation.

More than an hour later, in the agony, the bus finally stopped, and Wu Xiaorou was already dizzy from the bumps.

After getting out of the car and looking at the dilapidated and outdated buildings, hope began to rise in her heart, just like the city at this time, the hidden vitality began to sprout in the old city.

Rong County administratively belongs to Xiangnan Province and is under the jurisdiction of Baling City, and its location is in the northern part of Xiangnan Province, across the border between Changjiang and Jiangbei Province, and Dongting Lake, which has fallen into the second largest freshwater lake because of the enclosure of the lake, is also partly in its county.

The special geographical environment did not allow it to develop rapidly in the early stage of reform and opening up, but it was tepid and still followed the road of agricultural development.

It was not until the end of the twentieth century that there was a strong progress.

Wu Xiaorou's understanding of the city is limited to the memory of the original owner.

In her previous life, she had no intersection with this small city in her hometown, let alone knew anything about it.

Walking on the road that was not too wide, Wu Xiaorou had a headache.

She didn't know where to go, she didn't know where there would be a suitable storefront, so she could just wander the streets aimlessly.

Looking for a friend to lead the way?

The friend I talked to Wu Youcai about last night is indeed someone, but Wu Xiaorou has only been to her once, and now she only has a vague address in her mind, and the name of the store where she works.

"What should I do?"

She muttered as she looked at the crowd of people surging in the streets, and the scattered vans.

"Little girl, where are you going?

Would you like to take the car?"

A rickshaw stopped in front of Wu Xiaorou, and the driver with a straw hat asked expectantly.

"Ahh

Wu Xiaorou turned her head and looked at the coachman with some surprise, and only after a long time did she realize that he was talking to herself, paused, and continued: "I'll go to the fourth archway." ”

"Sipailou, it's not close, I'll send you there, and I'll charge you five cents. ”

The coachman continued, his expression very warm.

"Five cents?"

At this time, Wu Xiaorou reacted that she was soliciting customers for this matter.

Actually, this can't be blamed on her, she has lived in the afterlife for so long, and when she goes out, she either drives herself, or she is on the subway and taxis.

For the means of travel in this era, she has a general impression that taxis should not exist in this small county for the time being.

It's just that she didn't think that without a taxi, there could be no three-wheelers?

You must know that no matter what point in time, the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese people are quite high.

"Yes, Wumao.

To go or not to go? It's pretty cheap. ”

The coachman took off his straw hat, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued.

"Okay. ”

With that, Wu Xiaorou got on the three wheels and sat on the small bench that had already been placed in the carriage.

Don't say, this is the person who eats this bowl of rice, the coachman pedaled on three wheels without much effort, except for the sweat that flowed because of the heat, even his breathing did not change much.

"The little girl has arrived. ”

After about five minutes, the coachman pulled the brakes, stopped the three wheels, turned to Wu Xiaorou and said.

Looking at the somewhat familiar building, Wu Xiaorou nodded, took out five cents from her pocket, handed it to the coachman, and then got out of the car.

The five cents are worth the money, otherwise she will be scurrying around like a headless fly, and she doesn't know when she will have to find it.

"By the way, master, there is a food for heaven restaurant here, do you know where it is?"

After just taking two steps, Wu Xiaorou stopped and continued to ask the coachman who was about to leave.

She remembered that if she was right, that friend would have been a waitress at the hotel.

"Well, that's it. ”

When the coachman heard this, he raised his hand and replied, and then without waiting for Wu Xiaorou to react, he pedaled and left.

Looking in the direction of the coachman's finger, the signboard of the Food for Heaven Hotel suddenly appeared in her eyes.

She turned around and tried to say thank you to the coachman, only to find that he was still pedaling away.

Shaking her head, Wu Xiaorou turned around and walked towards the Food for Heaven Hotel.

Approaching the vicinity of the hotel, Wu Xiaorou took a closer look.

The scale of the hotel, at this time is still good, a total of four facades, through the door to look in, see the place is close to one hundred and twenty or thirty square meters, decoration furnishings are also good.

As long as the chef's skills are good and the price is not ridiculously expensive, business should be good.

I don't know if the 20,000 yuan can open such a restaurant, Wu Xiaorou's heart is still a little bottomless.

At this time, it was only eight o'clock in the morning, and it was not yet time to arrive at the hotel to pick up customers, only some waiters were cleaning there.

"Xiaorou, why are you here?"

As soon as I stepped into the store, a voice with surprise and surprise suddenly sounded.

Wu Xiaorou looked fixedly, and a little girl with a ponytail and a few freckles scattered on her face was running towards her.

The little girl approached, and without waiting for Wu Xiaorou to speak, she opened her arms, and with a poof, she hugged her tightly.

"Zhao Nan, you let go of it.

I'm a little out of breath. ”

After being held like this for a while, Wu Xiaorou spoke.

Zhao Nan's hug was very hard, and together with the majesty on her chest, it pressed her breathing.

"Xiaorou, did you come to me specifically?"

Hearing this, Zhao Nan let go of his arms, grabbed Wu Xiaorou with both hands, and said with a happy expression.

She never thought that today, she would suddenly appear in front of her, which is too surprising.

"yes, if I don't look for you, who else can I look for. ”

Wu Xiaorou could feel Zhao Nan's mood at the moment, it was herself, when she was at work, suddenly a friend who hadn't seen her for a long time came to her, and she reacted like this.

Looking at Zhao Nan, Wu Xiaorou continued: "Xiao Nan, your life is too good, it's really a big change!"

After that, Wu Xiaorou also used her hand towards her majesty, constantly gesturing, and her mouth also made a slurping sound.

"Die, Wu Xiaorou. ”

Being teased like this, Zhao Nan blushed and scolded with a somewhat annoyed smile.

She didn't expect that Wu Xiaorou would be like this today, and she didn't have the quiet appearance she used to have.
