Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

In the evening, the sky was not clear yet, but a sunset appeared on the horizon, as if adding a touch of alluring rouge to the Jiangnan region in the rain.

It was a drizzle, different from the torrential rain of a midsummer thunderstorm, so fine that it was hardly noticeable when it fell on one's face.

The drizzle is like silk, the mist is like smoke, and when you look at the bluestone road in the distance, it seems as if you can see the small bridges and flowing water houses hidden at the end of the bluestone road.

"Ah, Sister Ali, we are so lucky. It is rare to see a scene like this today."

Lu Nian, who was originally wondering whether she had a future sister-in-law, was also attracted by this rare scenery.

Shen Li also nodded. It was indeed rare. She had lived in Suzhou for more than two years and had only seen him three times. Including this time, it was only the fourth time.

Lu Jing looked at Shen Li, then at his own troublesome sister. After seeing her behavior today, he probably guessed what his sister meant.

However, he was destined to never get into her heart in this life. If he exposed her secret, they might not even be able to be friends. He was not a greedy person, so he might as well keep it as it is now.

It's good to have both a teacher and a friend like this. You can visit each other during festivals or on ordinary days. The relationship is not too close, but not distant either.

A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. If she got too close to him, he might become greedy and do something with immeasurable consequences.

The three of them stayed in the suburbs for a while before taking a carriage into the city. In the evening, they had dinner at Dingfulou again. Shen Li also thought the food here was delicious, so she invited the Lu brothers and sisters to dinner here in the evening.

A relationship, whether it is family, friendship or love, will not last long if it is only one-sided. Only reciprocity can maintain the relationship.

"It looks like it won't rain tomorrow."

After dinner, Lu Jing suddenly said this, and then said: "I have asked someone to prepare the gift and send it to the inn where you are staying."

"Okay, I have some local specialties that I brought back along the way, you can take some back and try them later."

"Okay, I'll take you back first."

"it is good."

When Shen Li returned to the living room and saw the three large mahogany boxes in her room, she collapsed for a moment.

Okay, now it’s okay. One carriage can’t pull all the load, so we need another one.

Take out some specialties from the space, all packed in gift boxes, so that they can be easily given to others.

The brother and sister were still waiting in the lobby of the inn. They went downstairs with the gifts, and Anwu followed them downstairs.

"Here, these are all some food, don't be disgusted."

Lu Nian took it, then handed it to the maid beside him, and said with a mischievous smile on his face: "If Sister Ali can bring something, it must be delicious. I won't dislike it."

He smiled at her and looked at Lu Jing who was on the plate, "Didn't you give me too many gifts?"

"Is it much?"

Lu Jing shook his head. "Ali, those things are what I brought back from my business. The prices are much better than buying them outside. They are not expensive. Besides, aren't you giving them as a return gift? Don't feel burdened."

"Okay, I'll take it. When you have time, bring Ah Nian to my house to play."

"Okay, okay." Before Lu Jing could say anything, Lu Nian couldn't wait to agree, "Sister A Li, I haven't seen Xiao Ya for a long time. What has she become?"

When she asked about Shen Xiaoya, a smile appeared on Shen Li's face. "Aren't you communicating with her? Why are you asking this?"

Lu Nian said a little embarrassedly: "Sister A Li, I always feel that Xiaoya has become, well, very impressive."

She originally wanted to say "tomboy", but then she thought that it was different to use this word to describe her good sister, so she changed the word.

Shen Li's eyes were full of smiles. When they first met, Shen Xiaoya was not a cowardly girl. In a family like that, she would protect her cowardly mother.

After experiencing the famine, his character became more resilient. Although he had no talent in martial arts, he had persisted for more than two years and had made great progress. It was no problem for him to beat ten adult men alone.

This is what people say: if you don’t have talent, just work hard and you will always reap rewards. This is what Shen Xiaoya did.

"Little Duck is very strong now, and she can protect herself without any problem."

"very nice!"

Lu Nian was very happy for her. She had wanted to learn it originally, but she didn't stick to it. Now she just insisted on exercising every day. She was not very good at martial arts, but it could only be said that she was strengthening her body.

"Brother, when are we going to Daohua Village?"

Lu Jing:......

He seemed to remember that he had not promised anything just now. This little girl was really becoming more and more willful because of his pampering.

"After a while, when I finish my work, I'll take you there."

But I only have this one sister, so let her be a little willful. It won’t hurt anyone else.

"Okay, I'll make a note of it. If you don't go then, I'll go by myself."

Lu Jing looked helpless, "Okay, when did Big Brother fail to do what he promised you?"

"That's true."

Afterwards, the three of them chatted briefly for a few more sentences, and as it was getting dark, the brother and sister got in the carriage and went back.

"Sister Ali, I'll come and see you off tomorrow!"

"No, if it's not raining, I'll leave town early in the morning. If it rains heavily, you can come and play with me."

"Okay then." The carriage started and Lu Nian waved to Shen Li.

After seeing them off, Shen Li went back to rest. The drizzle outside the window continued until midnight.

When I woke up the next day, it wasn't raining. There was a thin layer of fog outside, and the quaint streets created a nice mood.

"Knock, sir."

Shen Li went over and opened the door. It was An Wu who came to deliver breakfast. He had received instructions from Pei Yu that as long as conditions allowed, every breakfast would be very sumptuous.

"Thank you. You can have breakfast too. We will set off after breakfast. By the way, have you bought the carriage I asked you to buy yesterday?"

"It's parked in the backyard of the inn."

"it is good."

Suddenly there were three more mahogany boxes, which could not be pulled by one carriage, so they had to buy a new one.

Unexpectedly, Shen Li met Lu Jing when she arrived at the city gate. She looked into the carriage and asked, "Where's Anian? Didn't he come with you?"

Lu Jing shook his head and explained, "I have something to go out for, and I saw that it didn't rain this morning, and I thought you were going to leave too, so I waited for you here."

She took out a few packets of snacks from her bag. "These are made by my cook. They taste pretty good. Take them with you on the road."

"Okay, thanks."

Shen Li took it directly. She had already received the three boxes of gifts yesterday, so she didn't need these few packs of snacks.

A smile appeared in Lu Jing's eyes, but it was quickly hidden, and he soon said goodbye to Shen Li.
