Chapter 48 You are here, everywhere is a scenic spot(2/2)

Dabai: "Okay, have fun and pay attention to safety."

Determined that Xia Tian would not reply to him, Cheng Ze reluctantly put his cell phone in his pocket and forced a smile: "I'm sorry to trouble you about these things."

"Yawn-" Jin Yan squinted her eyes and kept yawning.

"Sorry, I called you out in the cold weather," Chengze said.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm like a cat these days, playing at night and sleeping during the day." Jin Yan picked up the gift box but had a problem, "But how should I tell my aunt?"

"Just say it was sent by a classmate in Xia Tian." Chengze said, looking at the shabby iron door.

"All right."

Less than 10 minutes later, Jin Yan came out of the broken iron door.

"So fast?" Chengze watched her walk across the yard and fastened the latch on the wooden fence.

This doesn't seem to work, even dogs can jump into the yard.

"I left some things in my sister's room, such as vitamin and protein powder, and gave them to my aunt. She said 'hmm' and I came out," Jin Yan said.

"Really?" Chengze looked disappointed. He thought Xia's mother would invite him in for a cup of tea.

"The saddest thing in the world is when a person with white hair sends a person with black hair. After my eldest cousin died, my aunt never left this shabby house. She used to be a very capable woman who was very good at talking and doing things.

But now..." Jin Yan sighed, rubbed her face, and returned to her previous cute appearance, "I came out without washing my face, haha, let's go to my house, you are a guest."

"No, I'll just walk around here and then go back," Chengze said.

"How can that be done? If my sister Tian'er finds out in the future..." Jin Yan said.

"If you don't tell me, she won't know." Chengze pushed the brim of his hat down, put his hands into his pockets, and said politely, "Thank you just now, goodbye, by the way, don't forget it.

Bring Xia Tian into the group, goodbye."

"What's so good about strolling around in this shabby place?" Jin Yan glanced around with disgust.

Low brick houses, deserted yards, tangled paths, and a few two-story buildings popping up from the stars are like signs at the urban-rural fringe, reminding you that you have reached the edge of the city.

Chengze walked slowly on the asphalt road, constantly turning his head left and right, taking in all the plants, trees, bricks and tiles here.

You should have walked every road here in summer, right?

A yellow dog was wagging its tail and barking at him through the wooden fence. Chengze stopped and teased it for a while.

"Do you know Xia Tian? Has she touched you?"

The sun was rising higher and higher, and the old people who came out to bask in the sun sat together in twos and threes and chatted about home affairs. When they were more than ten meters away, Chengze had already become the topic of their chat.

"Where did this man come from?"

"Never seen it."

"Someone's relative?"

"You're not here to steal the dog, are you?"

"No, some girl should have brought it back."

"Hey, look, it's a foreigner."

"Oh my god, it's true, the eyes are blue."

Chengze walked past them with a smile on his face.

After walking around aimlessly for a few times, I seemed to be back near Xia Tian's home. There was a supermarket in front of it. There was an open space in front of the supermarket, and several fitness equipment were being used by people.

Chengze went into the supermarket to buy a pack of cigarettes. When he came out, he found that the old people who had just been exercising had gathered together and were whispering to each other in the direction of the supermarket.

Chengze sat calmly on a wooden stool in front of the supermarket and smoked. Gradually, more and more people came to "watch", including several women holding their children.

The supermarket proprietress was about 40 years old. She took the initiative to greet Chengze: "Young man is not from here, is he?"

Chengze replied: "My girlfriend lives here."

The landlady's face was filled with surprise and excitement, as if she had received confidential information.

"Which girl?" She probably mentally guessed all the unmarried girls nearby.

"She didn't let me say it," Chengze said.

"Afraid of being embarrassed? Oh, this place is not that good. It's poor and shabby. Fortunately, everyone is poor and we are poor together, so there is no shame. Hahahaha." She covered her stomach with her hands and bent over with a smile, as if to say

He made a joke and the other person was not amused, but he couldn't stop laughing.

"I think it's pretty good." Chengze slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at the fitness equipment with peeling paint, several tiled houses surrounding the open space, the chimney with green smoke on the roof, the poplar tree with all its leaves, and...

There are these men, women and children who are watching him...
