Chapter 51: The First Arrival

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Ji Lingbai and Xi Zimo have been in their hometown for four days. Seeing that Zimo's mood was indeed better, Ji Lingbai felt that it was time to leave here and go to the place he had planned at the beginning.

So, another morning, when Aunt Zhang came to Grandma Ji's house, she found that breakfast had been prepared. "Am I late today?" Aunt Zhang was a little puzzled, looking at her time and feeling okay.

"Aunt Zhang, come over and eat together!" Ji Lingbai helped to greet him. It turned out that Ji Lingbai told Grandma Ji last night that she was going to leave today, and Grandma Ji also understood that the children would not stay in their hometown for long, but they were still a little sad, so Ji Lingbai specially cooked a meal.

Zhang Fen did something unclear, although she had always eaten with Grandma Ji before, she had never eaten with a young man like Ji Lingbai and them.

When Xi Zimo came down to eat, he saw Aunt Zhang sitting at the dining table, and felt a little strange, and then went to the kitchen to help Ji Lingbai serve vegetables.

"Ling Bai?"

"Hmm. Ji Lingbai looked at Xi Zimo inexplicably.

Xi Zimo glanced at Zhang Fen on the dining table.

Following his gaze, Ji Lingbai saw Zhang Fen at a glance, and also knew what Xi Zimo was wondering about, so he leaned into his ear and said, "We left today, so I specially made a delicious meal." ”

"That Aunt Zhang, who is also eating here today?" asked Xi Zimo.

Ji Lingbai nodded, "Yes, Aunt Zhang has been taking care of grandma, it's not easy, they used to eat together, now I make a meal, and let her follow." ”

Xi Zimo quickly understood Ji Lingbai's intentions, and after bringing the dishes out, he said to Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, sit with peace of mind, and you'll be fine immediately." ”

Zhang Fen was a little frightened, "I'd better come." After speaking, he went to the kitchen alone to help Ji Lingbai.

"Zimo, take this out. Ji Lingbai thought it was Xi Zimo who came in, but when he handed over the plate, he realized that it was Zhang Fen, "Why isn't Aunt Zhang waiting outside, I'll be fine here soon." ”

Zhang Fen said embarrassedly, "You already gave me a salary, and now you specially let me eat with you, I'm really embarrassed." ”

Ji Lingbai smiled and said: "We people are often outside, and the elderly at home have always been taken care of by you, so many years, you have bothered." Cooking you a meal is also as it should be. ”

Zhang Fen has been working in the Ji family for so many years, in fact, it is also because of the relationship with Grandma Ji, plus the people of the Ji family have always been very good.

"You're so polite!" Zhang Fen really didn't know what to say.

Ji Lingbai had already made the last dish, "Let's go out together." ”

The two walked out together, and at this time, Grandma Ji was also called back from the garden outside by Xi Zimo. It's also a little interesting, although Grandma Ji lives in her hometown alone, she still grows some side dishes or something, and it is safe and convenient to eat by herself.

According to the previous practice, every time Ji Lingbai came back, when she was about to leave, Grandma Ji would take her small basket to the vegetable garden and walk back and forth in those vegetables several times, just to bring Ji Lingbai the best and most tender vegetables.

But this time, because Ji Lingbai and Grandma Ji said that after leaving here, they would go directly to other places and not go home. So Grandma Ji didn't plan to let her bring vegetables, but the habit of going to the vegetable garden still hasn't changed.

When the four of them were eating, Ji Lingbai and Xi Zimo were also very polite to Zhang Fen, and when they saw that she was embarrassed to pick up the dishes, they took the initiative to serve them to her, "Aunt Zhang thinks that the dishes I fried are not delicious? ”

Zhang Fen didn't expect Ji Lingbai to say this, "What's the matter, what kind of food does Ling Bai like, I'll make it for you next time I come back." ”

Ji Lingbai said a few dishes, and then he was afraid that his words would not be convincing, "But my favorite is that sweet and sour tenderloin, because it's really delicious." ”

"If you like it, it's fine. "Zhang Fen is a typical rural housewife, and she doesn't have any particularly gorgeous dishes, that is, some simple home-cooked dishes. Now that Ji Lingbai recognizes her cooking skills, she is also very happy.

The time soon came when Ji Lingbai and Xi Zimo were about to leave, although they had already told Grandma Ji, but when they were about to leave, Ji Lingbai still saw the tears in the corners of Grandma Ji's eyes.

"Grandma, you don't need to send it, you can go back. Ji Lingbai looked at Grandma Ji and said.

Grandma Ji shook her head, "Just a few steps, I'll watch you walk here." ”

Ji Lingbai knew that Grandma Ji was a stubborn person, and if she didn't go back, she wouldn't go back. "Then you are watching here, Zimo and I are gone, don't send it. ”

Grandma Ji knew that Ji Lingbai had already given in, "Okay, I'll watch you go here." ”

"Hmm. Ji Lingbai took Xi Zimo's hand and left, walking a little heavy step by step, but he didn't slow down at all.

Xi Zimo was a little puzzled, I didn't know why my sister was walking so fast, and she was obviously reluctant to let her grandmother go.

Until the two walked around a corner, they knew that the old man should not be able to see him. Ji Lingbai slowed down his pace and glanced back. "Grandma's legs and feet are not good, so if she leaves early, she can go back early. ”

Only then did Xi Zimo understand Ji Lingbai's previous approach, "Then where are we going now?"

Hearing Xi Zimo's question, Ji Lingbai also cleaned up his mood. "Go to the place I told you about last time. ”

"How are we going over now?" I remember the last time my sister called the man and said that Ji Lingbai needed to arrange the car by himself when she passed.

Seeing Xi Zimo's somewhat cute appearance, Ji Lingbai couldn't help but go over and pinch Xi Zimo's face. "Your sister and I haven't arranged these things, will I tell you to leave?"

Xi Zimo thought about it, and his sister generally made all preparations before doing things. However, what neither of them expected was that when they were still two or three kilometers away from their destination, there was an accident.

It turned out that the ticket that Ji Lingbai bought was delivered here, and Ji Lingbai thought that Li's destination was only three kilometers away, and there should be many cars to bring himself and Xi Zimo over, but when he arrived here, he found that when he heard where the two were going, none of the drivers were willing to take the car.

Just when Ji Lingbai and Xi Zimo were about to give up, a middle-aged man came over with a heavy local accent, "Are you two going to Peach Blossom Village?"

"Yes, can you take us there?" Xi Zimo reacted first.

The man nodded, "I'm just going back, so I can take you with me." ”

"That's great, thank you. Ji Lingbai hurriedly thanked him.

The middle-aged man waved his hand, "Don't thank you so early, I'm here to buy things, you can consider whether you want to take my car." The man walked a few steps, then continued, "But you have no other choice, and almost no one here makes this trip, because the road is not easy to walk, and there is no one to pull when you come back." ”

When Ji Lingbai and Xi Zimo walked over, they knew why the man said that, because there were really a lot of things piled up in the car, and the smell of various things filled the small space. But after asking about it, Ji Lingbai and Xi Zimo also knew that it was really true that they had found other people who were willing to go to Peach Blossom Village.

"Then it's troublesome for the master. Ji Lingbai said and took the things of the two of them in, and he didn't even dare to put them at his feet, just put them on his lap and hold them.

The man probably also knew that the two were from the city, so he didn't say anything and drove quickly.

Fortunately, it was summer, and although the smell inside the car was not good, the two of them could leave the windows open and feel the smell outside, which was generally good.

Xi Zimo was even a little drowsy, and finally leaned on Ji Lingbai's shoulder. Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Ji Lingbai glanced back at Xi Zimo, then relaxed himself and gave the other party a more comfortable angle.

The driver's uncle was completely unsympathetic to the two of them to reduce their speed, probably because they were in a hurry and the car flew up quickly. In addition, after walking for a while, the road is indeed as difficult as he said, and it is very bumpy. Ji Lingbai felt that he had never been motion sick, and he had a feeling of motion sickness.

Xi Zimo also woke up in a big ups and downs, and found that there were no more people around. So he squeezed towards Ji Lingbai's position, "Ling Bai, do you know the way, we didn't go wrong?"

Before Ji Lingbai could speak, the uncle's voice sounded in the car, "I have been walking this road for thirty or forty years, and you actually say that I don't know the way! ”

Ji Lingbai hurriedly apologized to Da Shu, "I'm sorry, master, my brother is here for the first time." ”

In fact, Ji Lingbai is also here for the first time, although there is a small project here, but Ji Lingbai has never come to see it, this time it is purely because he wants Xi Zimo to relax a little, because Taohuazhai is a good scenic spot, but many people don't know it.

Xi Zimo was scolded by his uncle like this, and he was embarrassed to speak anymore, closed his eyes and prepared to pretend to be asleep.

"It's coming soon, what are you going to sleep on?"

Xi Zimo thought that the uncle was deliberately against him, and was about to reply, when he found that the car had really stopped.

"Not leaving?" The uncle had already finished his things, and found that Ji Lingbai and Xi Zimo were still standing by the car and didn't know what to do.

In fact, Ji Lingbai and Xi Zimo were also very embarrassed, because the driver didn't tell them how much money they wanted.
