Yanjing Fuyao Ji

chapter 26

"What did she tell you?" Chu Jiu raised his eyes to look at Chun Sheng who was still buried in the soup.

"Anya's mother said that Anya told her that she has a relationship..." Ms. He suddenly lowered her voice: "It turned out to be a girl too..."

"Oh," Chu Jiu's face remained unchanged, "What's the matter? It's normal!"

"Do you think this is normal? I said you child..." Ms. He looked at Chu Jiu with an indisputable look in her eyes.Unlike the ninth day of junior high school who lived heartlessly since childhood, Ms. He has always been thinking about the same birthmark on her son.Anyone in the old Dong's family who has this birthmark is a short-lived ghost. She has always hoped that her son will get married and have children soon...to have a child without such a birthmark.

Chunsheng ate a bowl of rice with the clam soup. Seeing that there was still a lot of soup, he got up and went to serve the rice again.

"Mom, you're thinking wildly again, aren't you?" Chu Jiu put down his chopsticks, "How are you and my dad living in my hometown? I think the scenery over there is pretty good!"

"It's pretty good here, we're going to buy a small courtyard by the lake... huh? I said this is where to eat?" He Yunzhi noticed the huge freehand landscape painting on the wall behind Chu Jiu.

"I'm at a friend's house. We made some dishes for ourselves, and I'll show you..." Chu Jiu turned the phone camera.

"Is it your girlfriend?" Ms. He hurriedly asked, she was very sensitive about making friends on the ninth day of the ninth day.

Before Ms. He finished her sentence, she saw a young guy with picturesque eyebrows walking over with a bowl of rice in the camera and sat down.

"..." She fell into deep thought.

"Mom, my clam chowder is popular...Mom, what's the matter?""

"Ching Ming Festival is two days away, come and find us in your hometown!"

"..."

Before Chujiu answered, Ms. He hung up the video in a hurry.

"I didn't take turns off during the Ching Ming Festival..." Chu Jiu murmured to the phone that was hung up...

"Hey, where did you and our store manager go last night?" Chu Jiu glanced at the missed calls on the mobile phone, and there was one call from Luo Yu, so she remembered the gossip about Maomao and him.

"Where are you going? Go home." Chunsheng continued to drink the bowl of soup.

"Isn't it?" Chu Jiuchao Chunsheng raised his eyebrows, with a smirk on his face, "Is our store manager not hot enough?"

Chunsheng glanced at him and continued to drink the soup: "It's not my thing."

"Oh? Then what do you like?" Chu Jiu approached and asked.

"You're like this..." Chunsheng took out a clam shell.

"&￥@#%*..." Chu Jiu almost spit out a mouthful of rice.

"I mean, I like to cook delicious food like you..." Chunsheng explained slowly.

When I went to work in the store on the ninth day of the next day, Dalin, Xiaoyang and Mao Mao suddenly surrounded me:

"Chu Ninth, have you read Weibo?"

"That long-legged puppet fighting the fire in Luojiayuan Ghost City is you, right?"

"Okay, you, you've become an Internet celebrity!"

"Have I been fleshed out?" Chu Jiu stood there and suddenly realized a very serious problem, "Be honest, have you provided my personal information?"

"Nope..." The three hurriedly shook their heads in unison.

"The ninth day is here? I just heard the news from the headquarters, saying that I will give you a star employee award for being righteous and brave, and vigorously promote this kind of positive social energy of self-sacrifice!" Luo Yu, who just came in from the outside, smiled at the ninth day explain.

Chu Jiu: "..." How did you accidentally become a star employee?

At this time, two female customers in their 30s came to the store and asked to buy a house for the little brother who was fighting the fire in Luojiayuan.

Luo Yu's face was full of joy, and he helped Chu Jiu greet these benefactors with tea and coffee before and after the run.

"It's up to you to beat Dongcheng in our store's performance this quarter!" Luo Yu encouraged Chu Jiu privately, "After we've settled these two sisters, I'll give you a holiday the day after tomorrow. Don't think about anything, just be happy." Happy Ching Ming Festival!"

Chu Jiu's smile froze on his face: I'm only celebrating Qingming Festival!

It was past seven o'clock in the evening when he got home on the ninth day of the lunar new year. He only took off his coat and fell headfirst on the sofa.Tired and paralyzed, why is selling a house more tiring than selling one's body?Too tired to even order takeout.

The phone rang, and Chu Jiu fumbled to pick it up without even opening his eyes.

"Jiu, I heard from your mother that you are going back to your hometown for Ching Ming Festival?" Dad's voice.

"Hmm..." Chu Jiu remembered that Luo Yu had given herself a vacation.

"I just bought a house by the lake today, and I will move there with your mother tomorrow."

"Ow..."

"This time, thanks to the help of your brother from the same family, his name is Dong Cang, remember?"

"..." Chu Jiu couldn't remember at all.

"How about this, I gave him your WeChat, you add him, wait two days for you to come, you two have a good chat!"

Chu Jiu put down the phone and opened WeChat, and saw that there was indeed an application to add a friend.

I clicked without even looking at it. After passing the verification, Chu Jiu discovered that the person's name was "Gentle as Water", and his head was a large bouquet of unnamed wild flowers...

Isn't it my brother?How did you come up with such a hypocritical name?Still using such a girly profile picture?

"Hi, hello!" Said gently as water.

"Hello……"

"Is it Xiao Dong?"

"Yes……"

"I'm your sister Miao!"

At this time, Chu Jiu realized that he had added the wrong person.It turned out that the other party was the female client who bought the house from her.

Suddenly, Chu Jiu received a notification that she had been pulled into a WeChat group.

What the hell is the group name "Blind Date and Loving Sisters"?

Amidst the shouts of "Welcome" and "Welcome handsome guy", Sister Miao told Chu Jiu: "I pulled you into a group, all of them are my sisters, and they all want to see the house recently, when the time comes, let them directly Looking for you..."

Chujiu: "..." The houses are organized into groups, these sisters are really close...

Before going back to his hometown, Chu Jiu planned to go to the backyard of the bookshop to talk to Chunsheng, and make him some food by the way.

Goddamn Xiao Ai has never been a day without teasing him since he learned cooking from Cook in the ninth division.

In Xiaoai's mouth, Chujiu's dishes "taste against human beings" and "it seems that they are not for people to eat at all"...

Fortunately, the ninth day of the ninth day is thick-skinned and mentally strong, otherwise Xiao Ai would have lost confidence long ago.

The original intention of learning to cook in the ninth day of junior high school was also purely because of hobby. Ms. He's cooking skills are not good, and she hasn't eaten many delicious dishes since she was a child.After the family hotel became bigger and hired Michelin three-star chef Cook, he was so happy on the ninth day of the ninth day that he immediately worshiped the chef.

If there is no such old enemy as Xiao Ai, then the academic career in the ninth day of junior high school would be perfect.

Strictly speaking, before the last PK with Xiao Ai, Chu Jiu's skills had not been tried by outsiders.Even my parents have never eaten the dishes he cooked. There is a special private kitchen at home, and Chu Jiu can't get involved at all.

So Chunsheng should be the first person to praise him, and more than once.Chujiu received great encouragement, and has been thinking about showing Chunsheng another trick.

After joining the group, I came to find the gold owner of the ninth day, ah no, there are more customers, and they are all female customers. Dalin and Xiaoyang are almost dying of envy.

After dealing with all the female customers, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon when Chu Jiu walked out of the store.

Not caring about changing clothes, he just put on a jacket and walked towards Qiankun Bookstore.

When he was more than ten meters away from the book shop, he saw Lao Bao's black Land Rover parked by the side of the road.

Later, he saw from a distance that Lao Bao got into the driver's seat with a black bag, and the car drove away.

It is estimated that Lao Bao has received a valuable book again, and Chunsheng will use it to repair it.Chu Jiu thought, this time I didn't specially prepare the ingredients. When I come back from my hometown in two days, I will ask Lao Huang to prepare some matsutake and foie gras, so as to replenish Chunsheng's eyes.

Chu Jiu thought about this and came to the bookstore.

There were many people in the bookstore in the evening, and Ruyi was busy with a few shop assistants.

"Mr. Dong, are you here?" Ruyi suddenly turned her head to see Chu Jiu, and hurried over to say hello.She still hasn't figured out what the relationship between the boss and Mr. Dong is.

"Is he there?" Chu Jiu raised his chin in the direction of the backyard.

"Our boss just left..." Ruyi said.

"Just went out?"

"Yes, just with you..."

Old bag?

"With whom?" Chu Jiu asked.

"His friend who is a bookseller." Ruyi replied honestly.

It really is an old bag.

"Why don't I read here and wait for him." Chu Jiu casually took a book from the shelf, found a table and sat down.

"Well, our boss said that he went out and had to walk for a few days before coming back..."

go out?

Chu Jiu looked into Ruyi's eyes seriously, it didn't look like she was lying.

"What is the reason why your boss usually goes out?" Chu Jiu asked suddenly.

"Because... I found a precious book somewhere... right?" Ruyi looked up at the ceiling and replied hesitantly, "It seems that every time I come back, I gain something..."

"Okay," Chu Jiu shrugged, "Then I won't wait for him today, I'll tell him when he comes back that I'm here to find him."

On the morning of the first day of the Ching Ming Festival holiday, just after dawn, I drove back to my hometown on the ninth day of the ninth day.

His hometown is in ancient Jizhou, more than 200 kilometers away from Yanjing City.

Although it is his hometown, he has not been back several times.Grandpa came to work in Yanjing City when he was young. From his father Dong Changfeng to the ninth day of junior high school, he was born and raised in Yanjing City.

The older Dong Changfeng seems to be, the more he cares about his hometown.In the past few years, he has funded several schools and hospitals in Gujizhou, and invested in several poverty alleviation projects. This year, he flew back from the United States and went to Gujizhou to buy a house for a short stay.

This old man and old lady, the older they get, the more willful they become!Chu Jiu was thinking while driving.

Tomb-sweeping Day is free for all highways across the country. In Chujiu, I thought the road conditions would be better early in the morning. Who knew that the traffic on the road would start to be blocked before passing the toll booth.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when I finally drove to Gujizhou, and I could finish the journey in more than two hours, but it took seven or eight hours because of the traffic jam.

Dong Cang has always maintained close contact with Chu Jiu. As soon as Chu Jiu got off the highway in Gujizhou, he saw a man standing next to a white Cruze waving at him.

"Ninth day!" A man in a black jacket walked up quickly.

"Brother!" Chu Jiu didn't remember that he had met this elder brother of the same family before, maybe he was too young at that time?

"I'll take you to eat something first, and then I'll take you to Uncle Six and Aunt Six, who live by the lake!" Dong Cang said.

Dong Cang brought Chujiu to the ancient Jizhou Guest House, and the dishes had already been ordered.

"Brother, let's just have a bite, we can't finish it if you order so much!" Chu Jiu walked into the private room and was a little surprised to see a table full of dishes.

"There are still a few friends who will be here soon..." Dong Cang said.

Before he finished speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open.

Chu Jiu looked up, her heart beat suddenly.
