Chapter 526 Where is the provincial capital mooncake as big as mine?
After all, he had never eaten it, so Chen Hui was quite curious about what people in the provincial capital ate in the 1980s.
"What's so delicious about that? Even if I cut one, it wouldn't be enough to share!"
"I think the food made in the county is quite delicious," said Chen Huihong.
"Aunt, cut it out and taste it."
"If it's not enough for one person, just give it a small bite!"
Chen Hui looked into the cupboard as he spoke.
There are two tied mooncakes inside, which look the same as the ones on the table.
It was obvious that Wu Dianhai brought back two, and Wu Dianyang brought back two more.
"Why are you asking that? My mom must have given it away."
"Anything worthwhile in the house will be given away by her." Wu Dianhai came over after washing his hands, shaking off the water while waiting to eat mooncakes.
Chen Huihong smiled and said while cutting mooncakes:
"We went to help Ah Hui's family build their house before. Aunt Wang next door helped take care of their house and vegetable garden."
"Now that things are done, shouldn't we go and thank them?"
Speaking of this, the Wu brothers became curious about Chen Hui's new house.
A few people agreed to go together on Sunday to take a look, have a simple meal, and help move things back from Wu Jinhua's house.
It's not the day for a housewarming party, and it's not a good idea to ask for help in moving furniture and other items.
Chen Hui originally thought of asking Chen Guogang to join him, and the two of them would spend half a day moving the things slowly.
Several people came to help at once, and they were all smiling from ear to ear.
After eating a small piece of mooncake, he urged Wu Dianhai, who had lost the bet, to cook some midnight snack.
"Chen Hui, it's so late today, you're not going home tonight, right?"
"Wen Jing also has to go to work tomorrow, so she can sleep a little longer here!"
As soon as Chen Huihong finished speaking, An Wenjing couldn't help but yawn.
He lowered his head and wiped away the tears that came out because of yawning.
"Okay! I'll get up early tomorrow, go back and get my passbook, and then come back to get the fish."
"After selling this big fish, we should be able to catch the bus to the city." Chen Hui nodded.
Wu Dianhai reminded: "If you can't catch up, you can take a bus to the next county. The bus to the city leaves at noon."
Wu Shuisheng also reminded Chen Hui that since he was going back to Chenjia Village tomorrow, it would be best to find Chen Kaiming to get a certificate.
If you can't make it back in time, just stay in a guesthouse.
The few people chatted for a while, and Chen Huihong felt more and more worried the more she listened.
After knocking on the door, Wu Dianhai said, "How about you take a day off tomorrow and go with Chen Hui? You've been there a few times, but he's never been to the city!"
Wu Dianhai was a little embarrassed, looked at Wu Dianyang and asked:
"Is it easier for you to ask for leave? Why don't you go with Chen Hui?"
Wu Dianyang nodded and analyzed seriously how many days of leave he had left.
Chen Hui interrupted their plan and said, "No need. I'm such a grown-up, how can I get lost in the city?"
"It takes three or four hours to get to the city by bus. Where have you ever been to such a far place?"
"It's not convenient for them two, I'll go with you!" said Chen Huihong.
Chen Hui persuaded for a while.
There was really no other way, so he could only say that he would go to the county town to find Huang Shuqing to go with him.
He's a free man and he has a car, so maybe he can drive there.
"Then I will accompany you to the county town. If he can accompany you, I will come back!" Chen Huihong insisted.
"All right!"
Chen Hui couldn't persuade her, so he agreed with a wry smile.
At worst, I can ask Huang Shuqing to cooperate with me, trick Chen Huihong away, and then go by myself.
The next day, Chen Hui got up at dawn.
He tiptoed downstairs and carried the bike out quietly.
When he rode back to Chenjia Village, smoke was already coming out of Wu Jinhua's chimney. When he heard someone knocking on the door, Wu Jinhua stopped lighting the fire, walked to the door and looked out through the crack.
Seeing that it was Chen Hui outside, he opened the door and asked, "Why are you back so early? Have you had breakfast?"
"No, we'll eat it when we get back to Dasha Village!"
"I came back to get my passbook. I have to go to the city to do some business today."
Chen Hui said as he walked into the door and headed towards the room where he slept.
"Oh, you are going to the city to do some business! Do you want me to leave the door open for you at night?" Wu Jinhua asked as he followed behind.
Chen Hui stopped and thought for a moment, "It's too late to come back at night, and Wen Jing has to go to work tomorrow, so I'll go to my uncle's place."
"Oh, okay, okay!" Wu Jinhua nodded in agreement.
Chen Hui went into the room, took out his passbook and household registration book, and put a set of clothes in a cloth bag.
Thinking that An Wenjing might need it too if he didn't come back at night, I picked out a set for An Wenjing as well.
He greeted Wu Jinhua and rode his bike to the clerk's house.
He stopped the clerk who would get up at four or five o'clock every day and do some farm work in the fields before going to work in the village.
"Chen Hui?!" The clerk looked up at the sky in confusion when he saw the man.
Chen Hui also looked up and asked in confusion: "Clerk, what are you looking at?"
"You came to see me so suddenly so early that I thought the sky was going to fall." The clerk held back his laughter.
"."
"Tell me, what do you want from me? You look so smiling and it doesn't seem like there's anything urgent."
"I want to get a certificate for when I go out and stay at a hotel."
"Where are you going to get proof?"
"I'm going to the city, but I'm afraid I won't be able to catch the afternoon bus back."
The clerk nodded in understanding.
He went back into the house, took out the key, and took Chen Hui to the village.
Along the way, I also found out what Chen Hui was going to do in the city.
He issued a certificate to Chen Hui, stamped it and handed it to him.
"Thank you, clerk. I've brought you a gift when I got back." Chen Hui said as he took the certificate.
"No need to bring a gift. I just ate one of your fish yesterday!"
"When you go out, be careful of yourself, keep your money and belongings safe, don't get into conflicts with others, and don't join in when others are having conflicts."
As the clerk spoke, he and Chen Hui walked out of the village, then turned around and locked the door.
"Hey! I remember it!"
Chen Hui put the certificate into the side pocket of the cloth bag, together with the passbook and household registration book.
He waved at the clerk and walked away.
Passing by Lin Jiao's house, I saw from afar someone walking up the mountain with a large basket on his back and a sickle in his hand.
I also go up the mountain to cut grass for the pigs and collect firewood before the shops open.
“It turns out that everyone is working so hard at this time.”
Chen Hui sighed in his heart, did not call her, and went straight to Dasa Village.
When I returned to Chen Huihong's home, I happened to meet the two brothers of the Wu family who were rushing back to the county town to work early.
The three men said a few words to each other and then rode away on their bikes.
Chen Huihong had already cooked breakfast and called Chen Hui to eat it together. She kept the rest warm in the pot and waited for the rest of the family to get up before eating.
Together with Chen Hui, I took the earliest bus to the county town.
"It's been a while since I went to the county town this early. The last time was probably last year or the year before."
Chen Huihong sighed as she watched the villagers walking towards the mountains or the beach.
"Aunt, I told you that you don't have to accompany me!" Chen Hui said.
