393. Chapter 388 Ma Xiumei's Whereabouts Are Right Beside Us

"This toilet, pull the rope at the back and it will flush."

Li Duoyu patiently introduced the equipment in the room to Zhou Xiaoying, including the shower head and electric hair dryer.

Li Duoyu said:

"In the future, our new home will be decorated according to this standard."

Zhou Xiaoying was shocked on the spot: "Let's not buy it, these things must be very expensive."

"Then do you like it?"

Zhou Xiaoying hesitated for a while and nodded very honestly.

"Then it's over. If you make money and don't treat yourself better, you will become a miser."

"Then you decide."

Zhou Xiaoying is not the kind of person who likes to manage money, especially for building and decorating things, she has no reason not to support it.

In fact, more than one person in the village has told her that your family's Duoyu has made so much money, and she must help him manage his money.

But she really doesn't like it. If it's a gambler like Xiao Weidong, then she might really manage the money.

But her man is more self-disciplined than her. He hardly smokes and rarely drinks. Why should you care about the money earned by a man who is better than you?

As for what they say, men become bad when they have money, and the coquettish and slutty women outside will take the initiative to seduce.

Zhou Xiaoying thinks it is indeed possible.

But she is more open-minded about this kind of thing.

If it is a cat that really steals fish, no matter how you control it, it will still steal food. It is nothing more than being discovered or not.

Speaking of which, it is still the second sister-in-law who said it more realistically. Feed him well and see if he can still eat.

But when she thought of the second sister-in-law's sturdy body, Zhou Xiaoying suddenly broke into a cold sweat for her second brother. This meal is estimated to be full for a week or two.

Li Duoyu slept quite comfortably, but Zhou Xiaoying did not sleep well, because it is easiest to feel lonely when it is late at night.

Although she was born on Dandan Island, she knew very well that she was different from Duoyu and Shanshan.

Her roots are not there.

After finally returning to her "hometown", she didn't expect this to happen. Her grandfather had passed away long ago, and the remaining relatives were gone.

She wasn't as strong as she seemed. Late at night, tears flowed uncontrollably, and she made a slight choking sound.

But she didn't expect that the man who was snoring just now behind her suddenly turned over and hugged her, and his hand touched her pillow by the way.

"Why did you secretly pee on the pillow."

Zhou Xiaoying, who was originally quite sad, was so angry after hearing this that she turned him over directly: "When I was a child, every time you wet the bed, you framed me."

"I didn't wet the bed."

"You still don't admit it."

After the two of them played for a while, Li Duoyu hugged her tightly in his arms.

Zhou Xiaoying found a comfortable position, bent over and was about to have a good sleep, but Li Duoyu was not honest.

"I told you that relatives came."

"I was just circling outside and didn't go in. What are you worried about?"

Zhou Xiaoying frowned.

But suddenly I remembered what my colleague said, as long as your husband is still interested in you, there will be no other women outside.

But once he doesn't touch you.

Then you have to be careful.

Li Duoyu woke up early in the morning and didn't plan to go to the so-called Xuan Palace. Instead, he had a simple breakfast at the hotel and checked out.

He only stayed for one night.

He spent more than 200 yuan, and Zhou Xiaoying felt sorry for him. Seeing that Li Duoyu and his friends were about to check out, the female manager Su Yang was a little surprised:

"Mr. Ribi, are you leaving so soon?"

Li Duoyu replied calmly: "All my documents are lost, it's very inconvenient, I plan to apply for a new document first."

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that the female manager was very enthusiastic and sent him and Zhou Xiaoying to a Polonaise taxi.

The female manager smiled and said:

"Mr. Ribi, where do you want to go? I'll tell the driver for you."

The corners of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched.

Finally I understand why some people hate transitional services. He originally didn't plan to take a taxi, he just wanted to take a rickshaw.

Taxis are very expensive in this era. The starting price is four or five yuan, and the charge for one kilometer is at least one yuan.

According to Zhou Xiaoying's salary, it is not enough to cover the cost of a taxi trip around Jinling City.

"Let's go to the train station."

The female manager Su Yang said to the driver: "Master, go to the train station, drive slowly."

"Okay."

Seeing the female manager waving goodbye to him, Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh.

Not long after the taxi left the hotel, Li Duoyu wanted to get off, but seeing Zhou Xiaoying's surprised look, she thought it was good to be extravagant occasionally. This should be her first time to take a taxi.

"Master, I have something urgent to do and want to change places."

Hearing the standard Mandarin, the master was stunned and said in surprise: "You can speak our language."

"Yeah." Li Duoyu nodded.

The master understood immediately. This person was probably a returned overseas Chinese. However, it was rare to see someone who spoke Mandarin so well.

He had received many overseas Chinese from Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia. Some of them could only speak English, some spoke Cantonese, but they didn't like to speak Mandarin very much.

"Where are you going?"

"Gaojia Village." The car drove for more than an hour before arriving at the place where Ma Xiumei's family lived. It was a relatively remote place, almost all of which were dirt roads, and there were potholes all the way.

After the taxi arrived there.

A group of children and young people gathered around. Li Duoyu paid thirty yuan in foreign exchange and then said to the taxi driver:

"Master, I'm here to do something. I'll only stay for an hour or two. Can you wait for me here? I have to go to the train station later."

The master said: "No problem. If I go back with an empty car, I will be at a disadvantage, but I will only wait for you for two hours."

After arriving at Gaojiacun.

Li Duoyu immediately repeated his old trick and asked a few people with cigarettes in their mouths to pass them cigarettes, and soon asked for the address of Ma Xiumei's mother's family.

The two parties just got to know each other briefly, but Ma Xiumei's mother's family was extremely excited when they learned that Ma Xiumei's first wife was still alive, not only in an overseas province, but also looking for her.

"My uncle is still here."

In this era, anyone who has overseas relatives thinks it is a very glorious thing. Most importantly, they all imagine that their relatives in overseas provinces will send them some foreign exchange or take them abroad.

Soon, Ma Xiumei’s family took out the letters they had chatted with more than ten years ago.

When Li Duoyu saw the address.

Li Duoyu was stunned on the spot. He never expected that after Ma Xiumei remarried, she would follow her second husband to the island closest to the overseas province.

Dandan Island.

When they saw this address, Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying looked at each other. What a coincidence.

Li Duoyu looked at the address on the letter and roughly knew who Ma Xiumei was, and that old man Gao might have met his grandson.

Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying did not plan to travel. Instead, they took a taxi to the train station and went directly back to Dandan Island.

Easy as it comes.

It would be very troublesome to go back.

The landform of Rongcheng is divided into eight mountains, one water and one farmland. The waterway is easier to travel, but the land route is very troublesome.

If you take the train, you have to go around a long way. First, find a way to take the train from Jinling to Yingtan.

Only once there are trains to Rongcheng.

At first, Zhou Xiaoying thought that this journey would be difficult. After all, the smell on the train was bad and there were a lot of pickpockets.

Unexpectedly, Li Duoyu was a chatterbox. After getting on the train, he went directly to the conductor and bought two decks of playing cards, and he would play "eighty points" with everyone he saw.

Others didn't know how to play, but they enthusiastically explained the rules. Zhou Xiaoying, who originally wanted to read quietly, was moved by his emotions and joined the group of card players.

Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying spent three days and transferred three trains before arriving at Rongcheng Railway Station.

But the moment the two of them got out of the train station, they didn't want to take the train anymore because it was too torture.

Because they had been sitting on hard benches for almost three days, once when changing trains, the two of them only bought standing tickets and stood for a whole day and night.

In fact, Li Duoyu can also use the method of losing his travel certificate to buy soft sleepers and hard sleepers on trains through foreign exchange coupons.

The treatment there is very good. I heard that there are steaks and red wine on board, but it’s good to try some things. If you often walk by the river, you will always get wet shoes.

As soon as the two arrived in Rongcheng, Zhou Xiaoying rushed back to Dandan Island without stopping.

As soon as the passenger ship docked, Zhou Xiaoying went straight home. When the two returned home, they happened to see Tutu playing with an inflatable tiger in the courtyard.

Little chubby Li Haoran was also playing with him. He kept pressing the inflatable tiger, making little Tutu giggle.

"Tutu."

Hearing the sound, little Tutu turned around suddenly. When he saw his parents, he who was still laughing just now burst into tears and ran towards Zhou Xiaoying.

He threw himself into her arms.

Li Duoyu glanced at his mother-in-law, her expression was quite haggard. Looking at the situation, she had suffered a lot these days.

"Mom, you've worked hard these days."

Chen Huiying said with a hint of disgust: "If you don't come back, it will be easier to take care of the child. As soon as he comes back, the child will cry immediately."

Li Duoyu smiled.

This is really true.

In her previous life, Li Duoyu had also heard it from Zhou Xiaoying, when she helped take care of her grandson.

The son and daughter-in-law didn't come back. The grandson was very obedient, but once they came back, they were completely out of control.

Seeing his uncle and aunt come back, Li Haoran scratched his head and said, "Uncle, aunt, you are back."

Li Duoyu glanced at Li Haoran and asked, "You have been helping to take care of Tutu these days when I am away."

"No, I just spend half a day with him every day, and the rest of the time I play with my friends."

Li Duoyu touched his head.

"Yes, you are very good. Next time, I will buy you some delicious food."

"Thank you, uncle."

But the more Little Fatty thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong: "Uncle, you have been out for so long this time and didn't buy anything?"

"It's more urgent this time, no."

After hearing this, Little Fatty suddenly felt a little disappointed and looked dejected.

Seeing his appearance, Li Duoyu took out a pack of ginger candies from his bag.

"I almost forgot, I bought you a bag of candy."

Chen Huiying on the side glared and said: "Haoran doesn't have many teeth left. You still buy him candy, don't you think his teeth are falling out fast enough?"

Li Duoyu coughed and said:

"Haoran, you can only eat one candy a week from now on, do you know?"

"I got it, uncle." (End of chapter)
