Chapter 239 Arrival
Time flies, and the three to five days seem to fly by in the blink of an eye.
Due to the heavy snow that has not stopped, the mountain roads are completely frozen, and it is rare for every household to go out for a walk.
Seeing that the New Year is getting closer and closer, everyone is sitting in the house, smoking bacon and preparing for the New Year.
After counting the days, the younger brother and the others should arrive at the ancient city this afternoon. Suning hurried to the village committee office before noon and hung up the phone to Zhang Ze to remind him again about picking up people.
...
I told my daughter-in-law to clean up the courtyard and change the bedding, while I went to buy a batch of briquettes and black charcoal.
Looking at the time, Zhang Ze arrived an hour early and went to the train station platform early to wait.
It was already two hours before I received the call.
"Brother Zhang!" "Brother Zhang!"
Smiling and patting Su Wei on the shoulder, Zhang Ze nodded to everyone, "What a good boy, he's a lot stronger."
This is absolutely true, it's only been less than two months. At that time, I was so thin that I could only feel the skin and bones. Now, not only my face is rounded, my body also has a sense of flesh.
Su Wei giggled. My sister left so many things behind before she left, so she must have become chubby.
Speaking of sister... Su Wei stood on tiptoe and looked around a few times but still didn't see her figure. He couldn't help but asked eagerly, "Brother Zhang, where is my sister?"
" Yes, why didn’t you see Sister Ningning? ”
"Ning Ning is in the first team below the Hongqi Commune. It's been snowing there and the mountains have been closed for the time being."
"Huh?"
Su Wei couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Jiang Xiaojun and the others were also dumbfounded. Followed by confusion.
I came here specifically to celebrate the New Year with her. Now that the mountains are closed and access is problematic, what should they do?
"Hahaha, stop blowing the cold wind here. Let's go back with Brother Zhang first. Wait two days and then check the situation. There are still a few days before the Chinese New Year. Let's not rush."
……
Nanmenkou 1st Street.
Bringing the people to the door of the Su family courtyard, Zhang Ze opened the lock and smiled at several curious faces.
“This is your sister’s home in the ancient city. She also named it the Su Family Courtyard. The decoration inside was all made by her with a lot of effort.”
“Sister’s home?!”
Su Wei, who was still a little nervous, heard this, and his eyes that were very similar to Suning's suddenly lit up.
Although Brother Zhang is also a very nice person, he has only met him once. It would be very embarrassing if he had to ask so many of them to talk to someone else's house without knowing how many days they would eat.
After all, whose food is blown by strong winds can withstand such construction.
Now that I know it is my sister’s home and not Brother Zhang’s home, I feel relieved.
Both Zhang Xiaojun and Zhang Xiaoman looked less uncomfortable and uneasy on their faces.
Walking into the courtyard carrying large and small bags, several people were immediately attracted by the layout of the courtyard.
Especially the unique grape trellis and the two-person swing with backrest. It would be so comfortable to sit and sway while holding grapes in the summer.
"Ring, ring, ring~"
The wind chimes under the eaves make crisp sounds in the wind.
“The yard arranged by Xiao Ning is so beautiful!”
"Haha, this is not the most beautiful time."
Zhang Ze felt inexplicably proud. His spine that was already straight stood up two more points. He put down the things in his hands and pointed. Pointing to the flower wall.
Wait until they all followed the direction of the finger and looked over with curiosity before continuing to explain.
“The flower wall is planted with vines of two-color flowers. When the flowers are in bloom, they are spread from beginning to end. No matter what you see, you will be amazed!”
“Wow, just thinking about it Just thinking about it, I think it must be very beautiful!”
Jiang Xiaoman, who was obviously a girl, was more interested in this flower wall, and even felt a little regretful in his heart that he did not enjoy such a dreamy and beautiful scene.
Zhang Ze continued to take them around the small courtyard, explaining clearly where and what was placed in several rooms.
"Okay, you guys take a rest first and go to the compound you just passed by for dinner later. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
"Thank you, Brother Zhang!" "Thank you, Zhang Brother."
Sent him outside the courtyard gate, thanked everyone and walked towards the brothers and sisters in the courtyard not far away before turning around and entering the gate.
... Seeing that no one came to the clinic in the afternoon, Suning looked distracted and frequently raised his hand to look at the time.
Wu Meng held her hand, "Su Su, if something happens... you go back first... here, I will... watch."
"Yes, Ning Ning "We, the two of us, are here to guard you. If you have anything to do, just go ahead and do nothing."
I also noticed that she had been absent-minded throughout the afternoon, and there was concern in Jinhua's eyes. Si Worried followed her daughter and persuaded her, "If there is anything we and I can do to help, Ning Ning, you must open your mouth!"
"Sister Meng, you have misunderstood. Nothing happened. It's just that my brother came from Ji Province."
"That's a good thing, that's a good thing!"
He nodded with a smile, but Isn't it a good thing? If there hadn't been this sudden heavy snow that closed the mountain...
After thinking about it, Suning stood up and looked at the light snow that was still falling outside.
When it was time, he and Wu Meng put the medicinal materials on the pill shelf back into the cabinet and locked them before leaving the health room to find Uncle Su.
After getting the key to the village committee office and hanging up the phone to the Nanmen Street office, Suning sat on a chair and waited for a call back.
Half an hour later, the bell finally rang.
I quickly picked up the receiver, and before I could speak, there was an excited shout from the other side.
"Sister, is it sister?"
"It's me, Xiaowei."
"Sister, we are here. We just finished dinner at Brother Zhang's house. Sister, have you eaten?"
Hearing his brother's concern, Suning's eyes couldn't help but glow with a soft light, and the smile on his face became brighter. , “Sister, I’ll eat when I get back later.”
“Sister, hurry up and go back later, remember to eat!”
“By the way, sister, how long will the mountains be closed over there? ? Is it really impossible to go in and out? What if it is still closed during the New Year? "
She also feels helpless about her brother's problem. After all, the weather is not controlled by humans.
But Zi Fei's luck is so incredible, I don't know if she can really get her wish if she silently prays to the snow to stop and the snow to melt every day?
You can give it a try...
"We can only wait and see. Xiaowei still has a lot of food in the kitchen. If there is anything missing, remember to tell Brother Zhang. Don’t be embarrassed to know. Brother Zhang is not an outsider.”
“Well, I’ve written it down, sister, don’t worry about us.”
The siblings chatted with each other for a while. Reluctantly hung up the phone.
Before, we were so far apart that it was really not easy to see each other.
Now that we are finally in Shonan, we still can’t meet each other. The closer we are, the more uncontrollable the thoughts in my heart become.
Sighing secretly, Suning took out a purple jade drop-shaped pendant from the space to replace the peace jade medal he had been wearing around his neck.
The cold touch close to her skin made her shiver. She put her hand in and covered it, and then let go after feeling a little warm.
Take the peace jade token back to the Taoyuan bedroom, get up and walk out of the office, lock the door, tighten the scarf around your neck and plunge into the wind and snow.
After going to Uncle Su's house to return the keys, he finally resisted their enthusiasm and stayed for dinner and quickly returned to his ancestral home.
From a distance, he could see Yan Bei walking back and forth in front of the gate and looking here from time to time. Suning raised a smile and speeded up to meet him again.
"Ning Ning, why are you so late today?"
He held her hands very familiarly and wrapped them tightly with his big hands.
Rubbed her cold fingers, then brought it to her mouth to take a few breaths of hot air, "My godfather and godmother are all worried. If you don't come back, I will have to look for you along the way."
"Didn't Xiaowei and the others come over today? It's too late for me to call him."
"They're here? They're in the courtyard now?"
"They're here, yes, they're all here. In the small courtyard.”
The brothers-in-law are here, but what about the engagement party?
After entering the door, Yan Bei still did not let go of her hand, but tightened it, "Ning Ning, Xiao Wei and the others can't come in, what about our engagement party?"
Glancing at the man with a worried expression and furrowed eyebrows, Suning gently pinched his palm in a funny way, "What are you worried about? Maybe it will clear up tomorrow and the snow will melt the next day?"
"What are you two standing in the yard in the whistling wind and snow? Come inside and warm yourself by the fire. Ning Ning, you are a girl and you are not as durable as a rough guy. Don't catch a cold!"
"Haha I know, let's come big brother!"
