"Then come to the private room." Xu Jinchao responded.
"Okay, there's a private room on the second floor!"
When he was about to go upstairs, Qi Chuchu still couldn't hold back. He patted the clerk at the door and said, "We are brothers and sisters, and this is my brother. What's wrong with your eyes..."
"Hey, I'm sorry, two guests~"
That's all, Qi Chuchu didn't want to be entangled too much, so she went upstairs without saying anything.
This mutton-boiled dish is really special. Qi Chuchu ate two large plates by himself, as well as some other vegetables and mushrooms.
"You like this hot-boiled mutton so much, Yi Huan?"
"Huh? Maybe it's because I've been on the train for too long and I'm a little hungry..." Qi Chuchu said with some embarrassment. She seemed to have a big appetite.
Xu Jinchao didn't say anything, he just raised the corners of his mouth slightly and added two more plates of mutton.
After the two came out of the mutton-shabu restaurant, the neon lights of Beicheng were seen at night, and there were many vendors, making it very lively.
So the two of them walked back to the hotel.
When Qi Chuchu saw a stall selling candied haws on a stick, she felt a little unable to walk. This was the first time she had seen candied haws on a stick after being in this world for so long! So rare!
"Want to eat this?"
"Um."
After receiving a positive answer, Xu Jinchao took out a ten silver dollar note, handed it to the vendor, and bought the whole bunch. Qi Chuchu was stunned.
If you buy so much, how can you finish it?
While Qi Chuchu was wondering, she saw a few children not far away drooling and staring here.
Qi Chuchu had a flash of inspiration and took two bunches and gave them to Xu Jinchao for him to hold. She herself picked up the remaining large bunch of candied haws and walked to the children.
"Kids, my brother bought too much at once. My sister has given you a task. Help us share this with more of your friends, okay?"
"Really? Sister..."
"Of course it's true. Are these little guys unwilling to help my sister?" Qi Chuchu asked deliberately, pretending to be a little angry.
Several children finally agreed, and they were all smiling instantly.
Qi Chuchu watched those innocent smiling faces carefully dragging the candied haws skewers away, and she also smiled happily.
Behind her was Xu Jinchao, who was looking at her lightly.
In the world of chaos, perhaps the ordinary life in the city is the most beautiful scenery.
"Third brother! What are you thinking about?" Qi Chuchu said, and easily took away a bunch of candied haws in Xu Jinchao's hand.
Xu Jinchao's mind wandered slightly. He shook his head and walked forward with Qi Chuchu.
Mr. Zhou was originally able to arrive early the next morning. Unfortunately, the weather was bad when he arrived, and he was delayed again on the way. He had to wait a day before he could arrive.
With nothing going on, Xu Jinchao took Qi Chuchu to the commercial center in Beicheng for an inspection.
I don't know if it was bad luck, but as soon as they entered the Shengshi Department Store in Beicheng, there was another gunfight inside.
Xu Jinchao quickly pulled Qi Chuchu to find a safe place to take shelter.
Amid the commotion, there was suddenly another person in the place where Qi Chuchu and Xu Jinzhao were hiding. It was Shen Zhiwu who they met on the train.
His arm was injured at the moment, and he was also wearing a black leather jacket, which was very different from the image of the student back then.
"Mr. Xu, Miss Xu..."
"Mr. Shen, you are injured."
The three of them had a brief conversation, and then gunfire rang out again. Shen Zhiwu was still fighting, but soon there was no bullet in the gun.
Xu Jinchao has roughly guessed Shen Zhiwu's identity as a patriotic party member. He will definitely save such a person without thinking.
After finally returning to the hotel where the two lived, Xu Jinchao sent Qi Chuchu and Shen Zhiwu in, then went to find a doctor and entered the hotel in disguise to treat the injury on Shen Zhiwu's arm.
Although the doctor brought anesthesia, Qi Chuchu still felt some physical discomfort after seeing the skin and flesh being cut and sutured with his own eyes, and there was so much blood.
She suppressed the depression and discomfort in her chest and secretly went to the bathroom to wash her face.
When she came out of the bathroom, Xu Jinchao was outside the door and handed her a glass of warm water.
"Scared?"
Qi Chuchu didn't answer, just nodded silently. After she drank some water and calmed down a little, she asked about Shen Zhiwu's situation.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly and the doctor had left.
"Third brother, why did you save Shen Zhiwu?"
"It's very simple. We are all citizens of this land. What he is doing is to protect this land from foreign invaders, so I will save him." Xu Jinchao replied.
Hearing this, Qi Chuchu looked at Xu Jinchao very carefully. It turns out that a person like him also has such feelings for his family and country?
"Yi Huan, I will take care of Shen Zhiwu. You should go back to your room first. We will go to see Mr. Zhou tomorrow."
"good."
This night, Qi Chuchu kept waking up and slept very restlessly.
When it came time to meet Mr. Zhou, they met Mr. Zhou at the hotel.
It was also at this time that Qi Chuchu understood the connection between Mr. Zhou and the Xu family, as well as the eldest lady and Xu Yishu.
Xu Chuanyuan also had a first wife. The eldest and second young ladies of the Xu family who were married were both of this lady's blood, and this lady was Mr. Zhou's youngest daughter.
But that year, Mrs. Zhou suddenly died of illness, and Xu Chuan seamlessly became the current eldest lady. Xu Yiwan was even two years old at that time.
This year, Xu Jinchao, who was only five years old and whose whole family suffered misfortunes, had just come to the Xu family and became the adopted son of the Xu family.
Mr. Zhou admired Xu Jinzhao very much and had a pleasant chat with him.
But for Qi Chuchu, Mr. Zhou was a little shocked when he saw her face, because Qi Chuchu looked exactly like his daughter when she was young.
"Are you the sixth lady of the Xu family?" Mr. Zhou asked.
Qi Chuchu nodded slightly and said yes,
Mr. Zhou smiled, chatted with Qi Chuchu for a few more words, and finally gave the Xu family two overseas routes and ships, and the rent was even more affordable.
This time it was considered a success. Mr. Zhou would stay in Beicheng for another seven days, and there would be gatherings every day. He also invited Xu Jinchao and Qi Chuchu to attend, and the two naturally agreed.
However, how to take care of Shen Zhiwu became a problem.
However, just a moment after Mr. Zhou left, a group of people from the North City Secret Service broke into the hotel, saying they wanted to hunt down the radicals who started the riot at Shengshi Department Store.
"Third brother, what should we do Mr. Shen?"
"Maybe we have a way."
