He Wei

After a few days of recuperation, Xue Chengyu's left leg recovered quickly, and he fully regained consciousness in only seven days.

Even though Xue Chengyu was able to walk like a fly, Xu Lang didn't dare to make him too tired, and after resting at home for a few days, he agreed to leave for the north.

Xu Lang has never been able to understand Xue Chengyu's eagerness to go north, but if he wanted him to see the sea earlier, he wouldn't be so anxious.

What's more, the East China Sea is so close to the south of the Yangtze River, why bother to go north to Weihaiwei for a walk.

Moreover, this business was originally planned by Master Xue to negotiate by himself. After Xue Chengyu knew the news, he immediately went to Master Xue to recommend himself and won this opportunity.

Master Xue has a high degree of trust in his son, and Xue Chengyu is also very efficient in handling affairs. Such small business negotiations can be concluded within three days by Xue Chengyu.

Besides, the businessman is also an old man of the Xue family, so this visit is nothing more than negotiating the price, and there is no great difficulty.

Master Xue also considered that a lot of things have happened in the past few days. Both Xue Chengyu and Xu Hong are not in a good mood. It just so happens that the two of them can go out for a walk, relax, and combine work and rest, which is good for physical and mental health.

It's just that it takes a long time to go from the south of the Yangtze River to the north all the way, and it can't be reached in ten and a half months.

Although it is already a warm April day, the north is not much warmer than the south. Out of concern for Xue Chengyu's body, Xu Lang prepared many thick clothes to prevent sudden changes in the weather along the way.

When he first arrived in the south, Xu Lang was a little uncomfortable with the southern climate. Due to the humid southern climate, he developed a lot of eczema.

After I got used to living in the south, when I recalled the details of life in my hometown in the north, I still had some nostalgia, and my heart was inexplicably sour, which was very unpleasant.

It has been four years since he wanted to come to another hometown. Even if he wanted to go back to his hometown for a visit, Xue Chengyu's body has not allowed him to leave him.

Now that Xue Chengyu's legs have already recovered, it is not difficult to come home to have a look. When things are over here, he will tell Xue Chengyu this proposal to see if he can spare some time to visit his hometown.

Xue Chengyu has always been considerate of Xu Lang. Xu Lang has been in Xue's house for four years. Although he doesn't say he misses his parents, he must still be homesick in his heart.

Xu Lang's parents died of plague on the way to escape, and it is impossible to completely find the body.

However, there should be refugees who have returned from their hometowns, and they will set up a tomb for the fellow villagers who died on the road, so that future generations can pay homage.Those who have great influence in the village like Xu Lang's parents will even erect monuments to pay homage to them.

This is also the reason why Xue Chengyu is so anxious to take Xu Hong north to see the sea. It can not only fulfill one of his wishes, but also relieve his homesickness. Why not do it?

Besides, he also knew that if he couldn't take Xu Hong out for a walk this time, then maybe Xu Hong would never return to his hometown in his life.

Xue Chengyu knew that his body was going downhill, and he didn't know how long he could live, so it's better to finish many things as soon as possible.

It is best for a person to be accompanied by a beautiful woman in his life and die without regret.

Master Xue remembered that Xue Chengyu had never traveled far when he was so old, so he arranged everything along the way out of safety considerations, and then his most trusted coachman took them to Weihai;

Before leaving, Master Xue called Xu Lang to him, and told him many things that needed attention. Xu Lang didn't dare to forget any of them, and kept them firmly in his heart.Taking care of Xue Chengyu is his top priority, and it is impossible for him to be vague.

After everything was packed, the two bid farewell to their home, and the old coachman drove the carriage, leading them on the official road and starting north.

Since the time requirement for this business negotiation was not tight, the few people walked slowly on the official road, admiring the scenery along the road while cultivating their spirits.

The weather was not so cold when we left the south of the Yangtze River, but after passing the Yangtze River, it became even colder that day. Although it was spring breeze, it was also tinged with air-conditioning.Xue Chengyu's legs couldn't bear the cold, so Xu Lang took out a thin blanket to cover his legs.

Along the way, the road was flat and there was no shaking in the carriage. Xu Lang was not interested in the scenery outside.

Because of the rush, he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days.It was rare that the weather was cool and flat today, and Xu Lang fell asleep shortly after laying his pillow on Xue Chengyu's leg.

Xue Chengyu lifted the curtain and looked at the surrounding environment.While watching, he thought about the descriptions recorded in Jiang Qi's "Shan He Zhi".

It seems that Jiang Qi didn't lie to him, he recorded everything in the book truthfully, which is almost the same as the real northern environment.

Due to the exhaustion of the journey and the horses were a little tired, the three of them found a post to stay.

Xue Chengyu originally asked for two rooms, one of which was for the coachman.But the coachman refused in every possible way, and he was unwilling to live in the upper-class guest room no matter what. In desperation, Xue Chengyu no longer forced him to agree to the coachman to sleep in the lower-class room.

Xue Chengyu asked the store to boil some hot water, and the two of them took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and waited in the lobby for the food to be served.

However, when it was time to move the chopsticks, Xue Chengyu couldn't help but feel a little headache after seeing the dishes on the table.

Even though it is already a light dish in the store, it can still be seen that a lot of oil is put in the production of the store.Xue Chengyu picked up the food and tasted it, his face was a little ugly.

The difference between the north and the south is really not small. The southerners taste sweet and put more sugar in their meals, while the northern tastes are very heavy. After one bite, Xue Chengyu can't bear it.

Xue Chengyu was very curious about how Xu Lang got used to the life in the south. Could it be because Xu Lang likes to eat sweets, so he adapted faster?

Seeing Xue Chengyu's hard-to-swallow appearance, Xu Lang guessed that he was not used to the food in the north, put down his chopsticks, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to ask the store to change it?"

After thinking about it, Xue Chengyu decided to change the meat dishes, and finally ordered two bowls of wontons to make do with it.

After eating, the two returned to the room, Xue Chengyu seemed to be savoring the taste of wontons, Xu Lang guessed that Xue Chengyu was not full, so he went downstairs with a purse to buy some snacks for Xue Chengyu.

When Xu Lang came back again, he had three small bags in his hands and a large gift box in his arms.When he arrived at the house, he showed Xue Chengyu the things he bought one by one like offering treasures.

The gift box contained northern specialty pastries, with all kinds of flavors. Xue Chengyu listened to Xu Lang's introduction and looked at the exquisite pastries. He was dazzled for a while, not knowing which one to eat.Anyway, you can eat whatever you want, so Xue Chengyu didn't think too much about it, and picked one up and put it in his mouth.

The pastry melted in the mouth and was very sweet. Xue Chengyu felt delicious after taking only one bite. The glutton in his mouth seemed to be aroused. After eating three flavors in a row, it was not enough until Xu Hong took the next one. He didn't stop until he handed some snacks in front of him.

"Try the difference between the sesame candy in the north and the one in the south."

Xue Chengyu picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it. He felt that both sides had their own characteristics, and he couldn't judge good or bad for a while. He only felt that the sesame candy in the north was sweeter and crisper. , I can get used to the north and the south. It’s not like I grew up in a small place like Jiangnan, I can’t go anywhere, and I haven’t seen it anywhere.”

Xu Wei pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "If Chengyu sees my home one day, he will think that my home is the smallest. It is thanks to Chengyu that I can understand so much. Chengyu can know it without going out. In the world, I keep in mind what Chengyu told me every day, thinking that one day I will be able to use it.”

"We won't have to work so hard when we arrive at Li's house in a few days. Then you should have a good rest. After all, you are out to play, so don't get tired. You don't have to follow us when we are talking about business. We are all acquaintances. There is no intrigue."

"Okay, I'll listen to Chengyu." Xu Wei picked up a piece of pastry, tasted it, and continued: "When the business negotiation is over, can you take me back to my hometown on the way? I want to know if there are still elders in the village. Then I go back to the old house to see my former home..."

"I wanted to discuss this matter with you before, thinking that you haven't been home for many years, and you definitely want to see the old people in the village. After talking about business, I will take you to see the sea first, and we will transfer to your house on the way home."

"Well, thank you, Cheng Yu. If you hadn't saved me back then, I might have passed away long ago. Traveling all over the south of the Yangtze River and the north is even impossible. The only thing I can do is to take good care of you. Let you live happier and happier.

But you have already done everything you can think of and do for me.I don't know how to repay you in this life, I just hope that we can live with peace of mind. "

Xue Chengyu didn't understand what Xu Lang meant by saying this, so he stood up and hugged Xu Lang into his arms, patted his back, and gently caressed him: "Why did I suddenly think of saying such a thing? Why am I talking about repaying or not repaying?" I am enough to have you in my life. I am willing to do things for you, and you don't need to repay me. "

Xu Lang lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes, and replied unconfidently: "I'm just afraid that Chengyu will think that I'm just a countryman when he sees my house, maybe he will think... I'm not worthy of you at all..."

"What is worthy or not? What I like is your person and not your family. Besides, we have lived together for four years. You have never said such a thing before. Why did you suddenly think of saying such a thing today? Yes Isn't it that you have been too tired in the past few days, making you a little confused?"

Xu Lang was amused by Xue Chengyu's words, and all the worries in his heart disappeared in an instant. He raised his head and smiled at him, and stopped talking about those annoying words.

Seeing that Xu Huang was in a better mood, Xue Chengyu laughed along with him, then raised his eyes and looked out the window, where a bright moon was hanging in the sky.It's late at night, it's time to rest.
