Chapter 215 Return
As soon as Gu Chengzhi left, An Xueyan went back to her room to pack her luggage. She brought one package with her when she came, and she packed three large packages when she left.
These are all gifts bought for family and friends. Master saw her bringing them back, so they cannot be placed in the space.
There were still some unused medicinal herbs that Mr. Feng wanted to take away as they would go bad if left here.
When she finished packing the things she was going to take tomorrow and went to see if her master had packed everything, she heard her master ask, "Where did you put the things you bought?"
It's not that he doesn't know how to ask, but as adults, he must confirm whether his apprentice has made arrangements. If not, he can help think of a solution.
"I'll take some small items and books with me. As for the rest, I plan to dig a hole and bury it in the utility room. I'll dig it out after I settle down in a few years."
"Okay, let's dig together."
The two found tools in the utility room, determined the location in the room and started digging. Old Feng was also a worker a few years ago, and An Xueyan was very strong. It took the two of them more than two hours to dig a 2-meter-deep pit.
An Xueyan put all the things into two boxes, picked up the boxes and put them in the pit. At this moment, she transferred the things inside into the space. What was buried in the soil were two empty boxes. Then she filled the pit and put the original things back in this position, covering up the traces of digging.
After doing all this, they saw that it was time for dinner. They changed into clean clothes and went to report to Lao Liu.
There's something different about doing physical work. The dinner tasted better than usual, and I ate half a bowl more than usual. I had the illusion that Uncle Liu's cooking skills had improved. (That was just an illusion...)
I didn't have to worry about breakfast the next day and slept peacefully until Gu Chengzhi came over at around 8 o'clock before getting up.
When the master and apprentice sat at the table and looked at their breakfast, they asked in surprise, "Uncle Gu, is there anyone selling brown sugar buns nearby?"
The brown sugar steamed buns, steamed cakes, dumplings, and fragrant pork rib porridge on the table did not seem to be the same types sold in nearby stores.
Gu Chengzhi, who also sat down to eat, said, "I brought this from home. The old lady heard me say last night that I would bring you breakfast today, so she got up early and made it with my mom and the aunt at home. This brown sugar bun is her specialty, and I've loved it since I was a child."
Then he considerately picked up one for each of them with his chopsticks and said, "Mr. Feng, Yanyan, try it quickly."
The steamed buns were soft and sweet, chewy and much tastier than white flour buns. She had never bought white flour buns for breakfast before because she thought they had no taste and were not as delicious as meat/vegetable buns.
After swallowing a mouthful, she praised: "Grandma's cooking skills are really good. This steamed bun is so delicious. It's the best brown sugar steamed bun I've ever eaten." This was the first time in her life~
"Yeah, delicious." Old Feng also nodded in agreement. He took a bite of the steamed bun and then drank a mouthful of pork rib porridge. It was very fragrant.
Gu Chengzhi pointed to the small package on the other side and said, "I've also packed some cooked food for you. You can heat it up in the dining car while you're on the train."
If it were him, he would just eat it cold, but he gave the old man and the child a few more reminders.
"Yes, Uncle Gu will help thank Grandma, Grandma Gu, and Grandma Li for their kindness when he goes back. When the autumn harvest comes in my hometown, I will send them some local specialties for them to try." Grandma Li is the nanny of the Gu family.
"No problem." Gu Chengzhi agreed immediately. He also liked the mountain products from her hometown. Those dried mushrooms were delicious when stewed.
Their ticket was for 11:, and Ma Liu came over shortly after they had breakfast.
Since the quilts couldn't be taken away, they were left there. An Xueyan took him to several rooms and asked him to find someone to take the items out and air them when the weather improved. She also gave him the 80 yuan he received for this year's house-hunting and a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes.
Ma Liu is a smart person himself. She believes that this man would not do anything stupid, so she left the house to him to take care of. Even if anything happens, it is within her ability to bear. The next time she comes to live here should be after the house is renovated.
After giving the instructions, Ma Liu actively helped Gu Chengzhi move the luggage into the car. The old man and the child got into the car empty-handed. After seeing them get in the car, Ma Liu turned around, locked the house, and watched them leave.
It takes about 40 minutes to drive to the train station from here, but now it takes about the same amount of time. There are very few vehicles on the road these days, so the whole journey to the train station is smooth.
Uncle Gu smoothly escorted them to their box and put their luggage away for them.
He said, "I have said hello to the train conductor Hu Shengli and asked him to pay more attention. If you have any problems, go to him. He was my former comrade-in-arms."
As a soldier, there are comrades everywhere. It's really nice~
Mr. Feng thanked him and said, "Thank you for taking care of me."
"Thank you, uncle. Remember to come to my house sometimes." An Xueyan invited sincerely.
I was thinking that I could make some health care medicine and send it to Uncle Gu when I got back.
After Gu Chengzhi got off the train, the train whistle sounded soon and the train started slowly. An Xueyan leaned half of her body out of the window and waved goodbye to Uncle Gu on the platform. The other party also waved and watched them go away.
There were only two of them on the train this time, and An Xueyan did not run around. She just read quietly in the carriage. There was a middle-aged man in the same carriage who was quite talkative and took the initiative to talk to the master.
Mr. Feng also felt that having someone to chat with could help pass the time, so he responded and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.
Knowing that Mr. Feng knew some Chinese medicine, the man asked him a lot of questions about health preservation. After one afternoon, they became very familiar with each other.
At dinner time in the evening, the man named Zhong Ming took the initiative to ask, "Uncle Feng, I'm going to the dining car to eat. Do you want to come with me?"
Mr. Feng thought for a moment and said, "That's perfect. I'm going to pack up and come back. Yanyan, don't run around in the carriage."
An Xueyan, who was copying a book, didn't look up or stop copying as she replied, "I know, Grandpa. You should be careful too."
After receiving the response, Mr. Feng picked up the lunch box he brought with him, stood up and went to get food with Zhong Ming.
There was a man and two women sleeping in the box. They didn't look like they wanted to eat in the dining car, so they probably brought their own food.
An Xueyan and the others ate some of the food they brought at noon. Although they hadn't finished it yet, they didn't want to eat the same thing every meal. Both the master and the disciple were not short of money, so they wanted to change the taste in the evening.
But half an hour passed and she still didn't see her master come back, so she became a little anxious. She put down her pen, packed up her things, and prepared to go to the dining car to check on the situation.
As soon as I walked out of the compartment door, I saw a female train attendant coming over. If she hadn't reacted quickly, the two of them would have collided.
