Chapter 192: Waiting
After sorting out all the money, she put it in the storage space and locked it in a drawer (because of the power outage, the bank can't store it), she doesn't feel at ease.
Chen's father also cleaned up the house almost, and everyone went out with their things, and Chen's mother turned around and locked the doors and windows.
"Hey, Chunmei, where are you?" Throwing the key into her bag, Chen's mother took out her mobile phone and called Xu Chunmei.
"Well, okay, we'll be right over. After hanging up the phone, Chen's mother said to everyone, "Let's go, Chunmei is waiting for us."
At this time, there were no people on the street, it seemed extremely deserted and empty, and the stream was a little uncomfortable.
From a distance, they saw a woman in her thirties and forties, who was shorter and fatter than Chen's mother, beckoning to them.
Xiaoxi they were the first to greet them, "Aunt Xu." ”
"Huh. Xu Chunmei agreed, then turned her head to look at Chen's mother, "Why did you guys come here now?"
"We're going to have to close the store before we can come here, you don't know, the store was almost packed today. ”
"Then let's go, talk as we go. Then he beckoned the people to go in one direction.
They made an appointment to go to Tazi Mountain together, if it weren't for waiting for them, Xu Chunmei would have been on the mountain a long time ago.
They did not dare to go under the eaves at this time, so they chose the wide streets, went out of the city, and climbed up the hill on the deserted path.
Xu Chunmei is from the same village as Xiaoxi, to be precise, her husband is from the same village as them, named Zhao Ziqiang, and Xiaoxi should also be called her cousin.
The reason why Xu Chunmei is called Aunt Xu is not a cousin, firstly, she and Chen's mother are good friends, and secondly, as soon as Xiaoxi and the others go out, they call their cousins, and seven or eight out of ten women agree, so Chen's mother asked them to call Aunt Xu.
Xu Chunmei and her husband, that is, Zhao Ziqiang, in the early years, the two went to Guangdong to develop, and also opened a factory, but they made a lot of money, went home and bought a piece of land in the county, and built a three-story small building by themselves.
The first floor is a storefront, which is rented out, and the second and third floors are lived by themselves.
They have a son and a daughter, who are now older and working outside the home.
The pension money has been saved, and the children are older and can support themselves, so the two of them are living a very happy life now.
It's just that Zhao Ziqiang is idle, he bought a car, he doesn't know what to do, he runs out every day, and he is not at home for three or four days a week.
Xu Chunmei was at home alone and bored, so she found Chen's mother to form a team and went to the teahouse to rub twice every afternoon.
This afternoon, the two of them still went to the teahouse they usually go to, just sat down at the table, and before they played two hands, the earthquake came, and the two of them threw mahjong and ran out quickly with their bags.
Because of the memory of her family, Chen's mother said to Xu Chunmei and went back to the store. And Xu Chunmei, son, daughter, and husband were not at home, so they called to report their safety, and then called Chen's mother to discuss what to do.
Along the way, everyone chatted very easily, and there was no longer the previous nervousness, helplessness, panic and worry, just like a very ordinary mountain climb.
After climbing the mountain for half an hour, a mountain villa suddenly appeared in front of everyone, surrounded by pink and white wild thorn flowers, which was very beautiful. Standing on a higher place, you can still see inside, there is a grape pergola, and various fruit trees are planted, which deeply attracts the attention of the stream, she likes it.
The hand unconsciously folded a wild thorn flower, pink and white. Although this wild thorn flower is not as beautiful as the flower in her space, Xiaoxi likes it very much, so she plays with it in her hand.
Looking up at the asphalt road looming among the trees, the brook knew that they would soon be able to take a breath, and that the climb was too tiring.
But when they get to the road, it doesn't mean that their destination has arrived, and they have to walk along the road for more than ten minutes to reach Tazi Mountain. But the good thing is that they don't.
"Hello?"
"Where are you?"
"Well, yes, I told her. ”
"There are ten of us?"
"Okay, we'll be on the road soon, you should hurry up. ”
After speaking, Xu Chunmei hung up the phone.
"Zhao Ziqiang is back?" Chen's mother knew that it was Zhao Ziqiang's call as soon as she heard it, and Xu Chunmei also told her just now, and Zhao Ziqiang will come back in a while.
"Hmm. Xu Chunmei stopped and said to a few people behind her: "Ziqiang is back, he said that we won't go to Tazi Mountain, just go back." What do you see?"
When she said to go back, everyone knows that she is talking about going back to her hometown.
"Ah, Xiaoxi, their teacher said that they would come back and wait for the notice, and they didn't say that they would go to class for a long time, what if they have class tomorrow?" Chen's mother said worriedly, frowning.
"I'm in class tomorrow, and I'll come back tomorrow, let Ziqiang send you." Xu Chunmei said indifferently.
Since they all said this, Chen's mother couldn't make up her mind, so she turned back to look at the others.
Father Chen is not easy to say, looking at Old Man Chen, see what he says.
Old Man Chen's mind turned twice, and he felt that this idea was very good, and when he went back, he would have a place to sleep and food, which was better than starving and freezing here.
"Okay, then we'll go back too. ”
When Xu Chunmei heard this, she said happily: "Okay, let's go up and wait for him on the side of the road, and he will come in a while." ”
The emotions of the adults seem to be rising a little more.
It doesn't matter how many children there are, they follow the adults wherever they go, and they won't be short of what they eat.
It was only two or three minutes from here to the road, and when everyone got to the road, they found a place with a good view to stand, so as not to hurt them by the passing cars.
After a while, Zhao Ziqiang came in his black Volkswagen.
The car is a five-seater, plus him, there are eleven people in total, and a car will definitely not be able to sit down, and it will be scored twice.
Xu Chunmei took the initiative to stay and wait for the next trip. Several people discussed, and let Wang Aihua, Luo Guowen, Granny Chen, Old Man Chen and Zhao Juan go back first, there were only five seats, and Zhao Juan was held by Luo Guowen.
Zhao Juan is not very familiar with Luo Guowen, she wants to wait for Xiaoxi to be together.
"Xiaojuan, obedient, you go back first, we'll be back in a while. Although you have called your grandfather, he has not seen you yet, so he must be worried, you go back first, so that he will not worry. Chen's mother saw that Zhao Juan couldn't get into the car, and Chen's mother stepped forward to persuade her.
Zhao Juan nodded and got into the car.
Chen's mother walked to the car door again and said to Luo Guowen: "You and your mother go to us first, the two old people go back, you also help me see something, wait for us to come back, do you hear?" ”
Luo Guowen nodded, indicating that he knew.
Seeing that the car was far away, Xu Chunmei spoke, "Let's go, let's go to Tazishan and wait for him, I told him just now." ”
