Mrs. Zhao's deliberate behavior made Xia Chutang feel embarrassed.

She was about to ask her grandma to "pay attention"

Unexpectedly, Lu Chengyuan sniffed it in cooperation.

"It really smells good."

The old lady said smoothly: "Doctor Lu, please comment, how can I tell that a person holding such a high-end business card is a liar?"

Lu Chengyuan smiled kindly, "Nowadays, bad guys will disguise themselves. Grandma, I don't blame you for this."

"exactly!"

Mrs. Zhao turned around and glared at her daughter: "Listen, Dr. Lu said that I am not to blame for this!"

Sitting in Lu Chengyuan's car, Li Hui didn't want to argue with her mother.

But he was still angry and said: "Then continue chatting with strangers from now on!"

"you……"

"Grandma, you should be more careful when you go out. You can't tell the truth."

Lu Chengyuan spoke in a slow voice, as if he was chatting in a homely manner: "Xia Chutang was stopped by bad guys today. She went to ask for help but failed, which is also related to the fact that the person called her by her nickname."

"A nickname?"

Aunt Zhao asked in surprise: "Is it...just because I called Tangtang?"

Lu Chengyuan smiled and nodded.

"In the future, try not to reveal information about yourself and your family members when you go out. Bad people can easily take advantage of this."

"I haven't traveled far in decades...it's such a mess now."

Mrs. Zhao looked a little lonely.

Back then, she fled with her children from Longshi to Xihai.

It all depends on the help of kind people on the road.

Who would have thought that a few decades later at the station, a big man who looked like a human being would be a personal trafficker...

Seeing that her mother still had an unbelievable expression on her face, Li Hui said angrily: "The newspapers are always talking about missing persons, which makes everyone raise their safety awareness. It would be better for you, if you meet a stranger, you can't wait to dump all your family wealth."

This time, the old lady didn't defend herself.

But that weather-beaten face couldn't hide the loss.

Li Hui wanted to say a few more words, but Xia Chutang pulled her sleeves to stop her.

"Grandma, you still have to be cautious when facing strangers when you go out."

Lu Chengyuan comforted him: "Isn't it the old saying that 'knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts'."

"Oh, I won't come out when I get older, and I will be out of touch with society."

The old lady's tone was filled with weakness.

Li Hui felt sad when she heard her mother say this.

In these years, my mother has never even been out of the city and has been helping her take care of her children.

The old lady was so excited at the station today because she had not been out for too long.

Just like a child traveling away from home for the first time, it is inevitable that he will be a little excited.

If she was really held accountable, Li Hui felt that she was still too incompetent.

How many years have I not taken my mother to travel and see the outside world...

Xia Chutang held her mother's hand and said in a relaxed tone: "Grandma, isn't this simple? Let's go out more often. If you see more, you will be able to tell the bad guys."

"That's easy for you kid."

Their family's financial situation, including food, is sometimes a problem. Where can they find the money to "go out more"?

Aunt Zhao laughed angrily, "Then you study hard and get into a good university in the future, so you can see more."

"Yes. I will."

Xia Chutang nodded seriously and smiled: "However, I have to take my grandma and mother with me when I go out. It's fun to go out as a family."

"Okay! Then I will live for two more years and wait for us, Tangtang, to take me out!" The old lady smiled with a choked voice.

Lu Chengyuan interrupted: "Xia Chutang, can you take me with you too? Huh?"

"Yes, yes, we need to bring Doctor Lu with us!"

Old Mrs. Zhao said first: "Tangtang, Dr. Lu is our benefactor! If you want to be successful in the future, you must repay others."

"I know!" Xia Chutang agreed happily.

Lu Chengyuan glanced at the girl in the back seat from the rearview mirror, and happened to meet her clear and bright eyes.

Those eyes were clean and calm, with a slight smile.

With just one look, Lu Chengyuan understood the girl's gratitude.

As the car approached the mountain road, Lu Chengyuan stopped at a simple rest stop on the roadside.

There are thermos bottles for rent and sale here, and you can take away hot water or buy milk tea made by local herders.

Xia Chutang remembered hearing her mother complain in her last life that Li Jun's family was so poor that they didn't even have a thermos bottle.

"Mom, let's buy two thermos bottles."

Xia Chutang suggested, pointing to the colorful thermos bottles at the door of the store.

"Why buy a thermos bottle?"

Of course Li Hui refused, "A new thermos bottle outside only costs fifteen yuan, but here it costs thirty yuan!"

She works as a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative and knows how much these thermos bottles cost.

Something that costs just a few dollars costs dozens of dollars at this rest stop!

Too black-hearted.

"Sister, if you buy a thermos bottle, I will also give you a pot of milk tea!"

The boss quickly made a sales pitch: "If you sincerely want it, I'll give you twenty-five dollars."

Not many cars come to this rest stop in a day.

For example, when a long-distance bus arrives, the passengers are reluctant to spend even a dime of bubble gum except to go to the toilet.

Now it's hard to find someone who is willing to buy something. If you can sell it for a little money, it's worth it.

Before Li Hui could speak, Xia Chutang decided directly, "Boss, I want this thermos bottle."

"Good good!"

The boss was overjoyed and tried to sell something else: "What else do you want? I'll make it cheaper for you."

Xia Chutang pointed to the sheets on the junk price list and asked, "How much does this cost?"

"This is twenty-one, a large sheet one meter eight by two meters."

The boss took it off the shelf and took a pair of pillowcases: "These cost ten yuan for two. They are all made of pure cotton."

"Tangtang! What are you doing!?"

Li Hui pulled her daughter aside and scolded her in a low voice: "If you want sheets, go to the city department store to buy them. What are you buying here?"

The bedsheets that the boss brought out were all in designs and colors that had been out of fashion for several years.

At first glance, it looks like something that has been there for a long time.

"I'm afraid there's no one selling anything at my uncle's house."

Xia Chutang actually wanted to buy more department store supplies, but she was afraid that it would be difficult to tell where the money came from.

She told her mother that she had left a hundred yuan as pocket money.

If it's more than 100 yuan and you have to lie, it's easy to get someone involved.

"Or, just get this sheet and pillowcase."

Afraid that her mother would continue to object, Xia Chutang took her mother's arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, the first time I go to my uncle's house, this is a meeting gift for him. I can buy it with my own pocket money, okay?"

"You kid, how can a junior give a greeting gift to an elder?"

Li Hui was angry and pleased: "Besides, your pocket money can't withstand your defeat."

"Mom, I just save a little on weekdays. Just buy this one, right?"

Xia Chutang continued: "You see, I'm so old and it's my first time to go to my uncle's house. I should buy some things. Don't you think so?"

Hearing her daughter say that it was her "first time" to go to her uncle's house, Li Hui felt guilty again and said, "Buy it! It's a rare occasion."

When the mother and daughter got into the car again, there was another thermos bottle in the trunk, as well as a set of sheets and pillowcases.

Mrs. Zhao also said a few words about "spending money indiscriminately".

But after all, she hadn't been to her son's house for so many years. She was still happy for her daughter to buy more things.

After entering the mountain road, the car started to bump.

When we got to the back, there was no asphalt road at all, and there were gravel roads all the way.

Even sitting in a car, Aunt Zhao and Li Hui were very uncomfortable.

After staying up like this for four hours, we finally arrived at the village where Li Jun lives: "Girls Village".
