Chapter 19: Returning Home

After Zhang Min came out of the Patek Philippe store, he walked towards the established goal.

Half an hour later, Zhang Min had already walked out of the mall with a large bag and a small bag.

I bought a lot of things, my own coats, my parents' clothes, and of course, I can't forget the "princess outfit" of our little princess Zhang Xiaoxi.

After the mall came out, the sun was already setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun was penetrating a corner of the Zifeng Building, shining on Zhang Min's fair and handsome face.

Zhang Min waited on the side of the road for a while, then waved at a taxi.

After 10 minutes.

Zhang Min appeared at the Zhujiang bus station and bought a ticket back to Heqing Village for 5 yuan.

Carrying the delicately packed items, he walked towards the waiting room.

After sitting in the waiting room for a while, I heard the sound of going to Xiujiang City to Heqing Village on the radio, and then walked towards the station platform.

In 2001, the cars operating in Xiujiang City were still very worn, and they often broke down on the road for no apparent reason, so it was normal to wait for an hour or two.

And Zhang Min looked at the time.

"4:50 p.m."

So this time it was more punctual.

After getting into the car, Zhang Min looked around the car, and it was not much different from the scene in his memory in his previous life.

In the small space, it was full of people, the seats on both sides of the aisle in the car were slightly tattered, and the middle aisle was lined with some miscellaneous items, and the sound of speech was heard from time to time.

After finding a vacant seat behind the carriage and putting everything away, Zhang Min exhaled heavily, and his clothes were mostly wet.

Although the clothes I bought were not too heavy, after all, I was still tired enough to choke after walking such a long way.

Zhang Min, who had just opened the car window and was about to blow a cool breeze, heard a familiar voice from behind.

"Zhang Min, you also came to Xiujiang City today."

A middle-aged woman in a floral dress said kindly when she saw her new clothes in the back seat.

And this middle-aged woman's name is Liu Cuifen, and she is a neighbor with Zhang Min, and she is very good.

When Zhang Min was young, Liu Cuifen would often ask him to go to her house for dinner, and their family opened a small shop in Heqing Village, so they would go to Zhujiang City every week to buy goods to replenish the supply.

And just now she happened to see Zhang Min carrying a big bag from the outside, walking in, and wearing a delicate pure white shirt and a pair of tight trousers.

Although Zhang Min thought he had long eyebrows and clear eyes when he was young, now he feels like a star on TV after this dress, sunny and handsome.

Zhang Min turned around and saw that it was Aunt Liu, who was familiar in the village, so he asked with a smile.

"Aunt Liu, are you here to buy today?"

Liu Cuifen nodded, and then switched positions to the front seat and chatted with Zhang Min.

The boring driving time passed comfortably and quickly because I chatted all the time.

After 50 minutes.

After Zhang Mingen and Liu Cuifang waved their hands, they walked towards their homes.

A large open space in front of the house has been piled with sand and gravel, some reinforced concrete has been placed in the corner, and there are already some hired workers in the residential land not far away, who are working on the wall in full swing.

Originally, it was not so fast, and it would take a while just to lay the foundation, but Zhang Min was afraid that something would happen to the old house suddenly, so he hired more workers.

When Zhang Min walked into the house and put down the clothes he bought, he went to the kitchen and saw his mother Zou Lan stir-frying vegetables in a big pot, while his sister Zhang Xiaoxi squatted next to him, handing some wood to the stove hole with his little hands, and his pink little face was smoked into a little gray cat by the smoke coming out of the crack in the stove.

Maybe it's because they're too fascinated, but when Zhang Min walked in, they hadn't noticed it yet.

Zhang Min's eyes were full of pity after seeing his sister Zhang Xiaoxi's flowery face, and he hurriedly trotted over, took the wood in his sister's hand and was about to hand it into the stove and said.

"Xiaoxi, go wash your face, you see that you have become a little cat, I'll get it here!"

Zhang Xiaoxi was overjoyed when he saw his brother coming back, and said happily.

"Brother, you're back!"

After hearing his brother's words, he wiped his face from the corner of his clothes, and covered his face with cigarette ash that was originally only a few black circles, and he was amused by this, giggling there.

Then he trotted towards a nearby water pipe.

After Xiaoxi passed, Zhang Min handed over the wood and said to his mother who was stir-frying.

"Mom, I went to the Municipal People's Hospital again this morning, cousin Li Dong is no longer a big deal, and he will be discharged in a few days, and the 500 yuan you said you want to give will also be given to the fourth aunt!"

Mother Zou Lan nodded after hearing this, after hearing the news of Li Dong's hospitalization, everyone was more worried, but later heard that it was not a big deal, and the family had been busy building a house in recent days, so she asked Zhang Min, who went to Xiujiang City to do business, to bring the etiquette by the way.

After a while, Xiaoxi ran back after washing her face, and then squatted beside Zhang Min, watching her brother put the wood into the kang hole to burn, and sniffed a few times from time to time, smelling the aroma of braised pork, obviously a little hungry.

Mother Zou Lan glanced at Xiao Xi who was squatting, showed a loving gaze, picked up the small bowl by the stove with her right hand and gave Xiao Xi a small bowl, and then handed Xiao Xi a small bowl.

Xiao Xi happily took it with her little hand, leaned over with her small nose and sniffed, added cherry-like lips and said in a childish voice.

"It smells so good!"

Zhang Min also took a spoon from the wooden pedal next to him and handed it to Xiaoxi.

"Xiaoxi, eat quickly, look at you."

"When you're done eating, you go to my room, and there's your favorite rock sugar gourd on the desk!"

Zhang Xiaoxi's smile became even stronger when he heard his brother's words, and as soon as he took the spoon, he scooped up a fragrant piece and stretched it out to Zhang Min's mouth.

Zhang Minmin touched his sister's head with his hand and ate the dish with a look of enjoyment.

An hour later, the workers who helped build the new house had finished eating and left.

After Zhang Min helped pack up all the things, he went to the room and took out all the clothes he bought.

The parents were a little uncomfortable wearing this delicate dress at first, but Zhang Min knew that they were actually very satisfied when he saw his parents' smiles.

Early the next morning, Zhang Min took a car and came to the Xinyuan community where Guo Xuewen lived in Xiujiang City.

After getting out of the car, he had a clear goal and walked towards the building where Guo Xuewen lived.

I saw that Guo Xuewen was already standing there, obviously he had been waiting for a long time, and looked at Guo Xuewen, at this moment he had changed into new clothes and dressed up again, and his dignified temperament was highlighted at once.

Walking closer, Zhang Min looked at Guo Xuewen, who was waiting, and said jokingly.

"Lao Guo, you are dressed like this, and you immediately raise this spirit, and I don't know how many mature women are attracted to you when you walk on the street!"

Unexpectedly, Guo Xuewen said shamelessly after hearing it.

"I just took out the suit that I hadn't worn for a while, and I looked in front of the mirror in the morning."

After speaking, he deliberately shook off his suit with his body, obviously very satisfied with his dress.

Zhang Min replied with a smile.

"Okay, I won't look at who is wearing this dress, in the end, you are tall and thick-skinned, and you can handle any clothes."

"That's right, Lao Guo!"

Guo Xuewen smiled and didn't continue, but asked about the Internet café.

"Are you going to the Internet café today?"

"Hmm."

Zhang Min replied.
