Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 238 Familiar Street, Familiar Qinghe

There was a night of skiing, everyone had a good rest, and the supper was delicious. I ate three meals a night.

In the morning, Zhou Rui had breakfast with the returning team. Zhou Rui bid farewell to Cao Wang and others. Before leaving, Zhou Rui gave each of them 200 yuan in red envelopes.

The money was cash withdrawn from the bank early in the morning, not too much, just a big deal.

If there is no accident, it will be difficult for everyone to meet again in this life. The so-called meeting by chance is nothing more than that.

Cao Wang put on his helmet, grinned, waved his hands, and continued his journey with the returning team.

"Brothers! Go home for the New Year!"

The mighty convoy aroused the curiosity of many passers-by.

After sending off the returning brigade, Zhou Rui and his team went to the police station for the last time. Everyone left their contact information and signed a letter of commitment. It will take a long time for a major case to be concluded, but it belongs to Zhou Rui and others. It's over for now.

After driving in the car, the group set off again, heading for the nearby city of Jingdezhen.

While peeling oranges on the road, Li Wenqian said curiously, "Tong Xin, you look good today."

Tong Xin said with a guilty conscience: "Really? Maybe I slept well last night."

Not to mention what Jingdezhen is famous for, they bought some gadgets at the porcelain market, and left after lunch.

Due to yesterday's delay, they sped up their trip today, without getting off the expressway all the way, and drove for six hours along the border between Jiangxi Province and Fuzhou Province. They changed drivers once in the middle, and finally entered after dark at night. Meishi on the border of Guangzhou Province.

Rest for another night, and I will be able to return to Qinghe County tomorrow. This journey is finally coming to an end.

Everyone was very tired at night, but how could they not have a big meal after entering the border of Guangdong Province?Zhou Rui found a restaurant, Yong Tau Foo, Salt Baked Chicken, Poon Choi.
On the afternoon of the third day, a car of people finally returned to their hometown, Qinghe County.

To be honest, it was the first time Zhou Rui drove back to Qinghe by himself. At one point, he missed the intersection and drove an extra [-] kilometers. After getting off the expressway, he drove on the national highway and county road for more than an hour. At about the same time, it entered the boundary of Qinghe County.

Looking at the familiar buildings on both sides of the road, several people are in a good mood.

Not to mention being timid because of the closeness to the hometown. After all, it doesn’t mean that I have been away for three or five years, but I am somewhat excited in my heart.

Sijiang Road, the main road entering Qinghe, welcomed back the wanderers.

When passing by an area, Zhou Rui looked to the side, which was where "Xintai Auto Repair" was located.

It has been closed now, leaving only mottled signboards and rolling gates, but I don't know why.

Originally said that if it is open, the car can be sent for maintenance.

Zhou Rui was also very familiar with the bridge hole in front of him. He had a supper with Lu Xubo here.

Hmm. A normal late-night snack.

According to the location, Song Bin was the first to arrive home. The "Banshan Yashu" where his home is located is just outside Qinghe County.

This is also the place where Audio-Technica recorded songs for the first time, but it is estimated that there are no traces left now, and they were all moved to Shanghai by Song Bin.

At the door of Song Bin's house, there stood a woman in her 50s, with an ordinary face, but it was not difficult to see from her clothes and temperament that she was usually pampered.

This is also the first time Zhou Rui met Song Bin's parents.

"Hello Auntie."

The woman glanced at Zhou Rui curiously. She knew that her son was always with Zhou Rui, but she was usually busy with business and never cared about it.

A Mercedes-Benz is nothing to her, but it would be somewhat strange to put it on a young man who is the same age as her son and whose family is not in business.

After saying a few words of courtesy, and saying Happy Chinese New Year, the car continued to start and went to Li Wenqian's house.

Li Wenqian's family had a lot of luggage, and Tong Xin helped pack it up below. Zhou Rui carried it up and down, and everyone had to work for a while before finishing it.

When leaving, Zhou Rui rubbed Li Wenqian's head and said, "Let's take a rest for two days and get together later."

Li Huihua waved his hand and said: "It's been hard work, Xiao Zhou, you must be tired all the way, when the time comes, I will make an appointment with your mother, and the two families will have a meal together."

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Sure, I'll make arrangements then."

When they got back into the car, only Zhou Rui and Tong Xin were left, and the whole car became more spacious.

Zhou Rui glanced at Tong Xin through the rearview mirror, and somehow the atmosphere in the car changed.

"Not in the co-pilot?"

Up to now, the co-driver of this car has never had a girl!Still the body of pure yang.

Tong Xin turned her face away and said in a low voice, "I'll just sit in the back, the back is spacious, otherwise my mother will get excited after seeing it."

Zhou Rui didn't persuade him any more, and drove towards the community where Tong Xin's house was located.

When passing by a bus station, Tong Xin looked through the window, a little dazed.

It's only been more than half a year, why does it feel like I've been away for so long?
Tong Xin's mother got the news early in the morning and was waiting at the gate of the community. She seemed to have met a neighbor and was chatting.

Seeing the magnificent and luxurious car, he was a little hesitant at first, until he saw Zhou Rui's face through the windshield, and the corners of his mouth parted.

"Stop talking, stop talking! My daughter is back!"

The neighbors stared wide-eyed. It would be an exaggeration to say that this car is not a car in Qinghe County, but it is definitely not more than five fingers. They can't name it, but they know it will not be cheap with a prostate.

Tong Xin's mother felt that she had a lot of face. She led the way downstairs in front of the car, and shouted in front of the unit door: "Old boy! Come down quickly, our daughter is back!"

It is not clear whether the old boy heard this voice, but anyway, the neighbors in the neighborhood heard it clearly, and many people looked down.

Zhou Rui got off the driveway: "Hello, Auntie, Happy Chinese New Year!"

Tong Xin's mother took Zhou Rui's hand: "Oh, Xiao Zhou, thank you for your hard work. I sent Xin Xin back."

Zhou Rui scratched his face, saying that he was a bit too humble to be a professional.
Tong Xin's mother held Zhou Rui tightly, Tong Xin rolled her eyes behind and went to carry the luggage by herself.

"Hey little Di, open the trunk."

After waiting for a while, the car did not respond.

He gave Zhou Rui a strange look: "Zhou Rui, why is the voice control not responding?"

Tong Xin's mother was shocked: "This car is still voice-activated! It's so advanced!"

Zhou Rui shed a drop of cold sweat.

This lame joke has not been exposed all the way. Li Wenqian and Tong Xin firmly believe in the "voice control"
Zhou Rui secretly pressed the car key in his pocket, and said, "Maybe it's because it's cold and the reaction is slow."

Tong Xin's father also came down, not as enthusiastic as Tong Xin's mother, but he couldn't help but thank him.

Tong Xin stood at the entrance of the corridor with a suitcase in her hand, and said speechlessly, "Hello~? Your daughter is here, has anyone seen it?"

Tong Xin's mother ignored her funny daughter and said to Zhou Rui: "Xiao Zhou, you must come up and sit down, drink a cup of tea before leaving."

Zhou Rui waved his hands again and again: "No auntie, my mother is still waiting at home."

As he spoke, he moved an exquisite box from the trunk, which was a porcelain gift box bought in Jingdezhen, with tea sets, bowls and saucers.

"A little gift, happy Chinese New Year, uncles and aunts."

When leaving, Tong Xin secretly gave Zhou Rui a gesture to make a phone call, Zhou Rui understood it, and walked away.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Rui's car stopped at No. 277 Tianhe Road.

He has very little luggage, only a small box. As for the new year gifts for his parents, let's put them in the car first.

When going upstairs, Zhou Rui obviously felt that there were a lot fewer residents in the building, and the exhaust fans that had been running all year round had stopped, and even if it was time for meals, there was no smell of cooking fumes in the corridor.

The demolition is a foregone conclusion, and construction will start after the year. Yao Peili bought an elevator room in Qinghe County, but it has not been renovated yet. After much deliberation, she finally returned here for the New Year.

At least this Spring Festival, this place is still Zhou Rui's home.

Zhou Rui took out the key that had not been used for half a year, and opened the door. The familiar smell of Yao Peili's cooking was in the air.

Zhou Weigang, who was setting the dishes and chopsticks, heard the movement, turned his head to look, and said with a smile, "You're back?"

In the kitchen, Yao Peili poked her head out while wiping her hands: "Xiao Rui is back?"

The smile on the corner of his mouth raised up unconsciously.

Zhou Rui put down his suitcase and smiled, "I'm back!"
