Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Chapter 92: preparation

Views:

Li Wei would always go to the store to help in the evenings during the winter vacation, and it was almost the Chinese New Year. The business in the store has been pretty good these days. It is open until nearly eleven o'clock every day, and then tidies up. I don't go home until twelve o'clock almost every day. It was already one o'clock in the morning by the time I went to bed.

If you go to bed late, you will naturally wake up late. Li Wei had obviously promised Chen Yating to go to the Chen family, but unfortunately her schedule had been irregular these days. She was rushing to catch up on a TV series in the afternoon and had almost no time.

In this way, it lasted until the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. Li Minghua and Liu Chunzhi had already agreed to close the business early, entertained the helpers to a New Year's dinner, and paid their wages. The family packed up and prepared to return to Yongning. Wang Yulan had already left early.

The postman delivered the newspaper, and Li Wei got it just before closing the door. She closed the store door, hurried back home, fell into the house and started reading the newspaper in her hand.

She first picked out the entertainment section and began to read it word for word. On the lower right, in a place as big as a palm, Li Wei finally saw the follow-up report about "Full Moon Sword".

"The TV series adapted from the famous martial arts masterpiece "The Sword of the Full Moon" has recently announced the female lead, with new actress Jiang Chuyi taking the leading role. It is reported that the second male lead will also be joined by recent niche star Zhao Qian, and there will also be gold medalist Lu Ye..." Li Wei's eyes can see All I saw was the name Zhao Qian. Sure enough, he collaborated with Zhang Zihan again. Li Wei also paid attention to the location where the filming started: Xitang, Zhejiang Province.

Xitang, she had an impression of this place. Her maternal grandfather is from Jiaxing. When she was a child, she followed her mother to her maternal grandfather's house and took a ride on a painted boat and a awning boat.

To this day, she still clearly remembers the nine-curved corridor of her maternal grandfather's house and the wisteria flowers hanging down on the corridor. Naughty, she even grabbed the flower string. She still remembers that the wisteria cake made by her grandmother was very sweet, and she still remembers the taste.

Is the Xitang today still the Xitang in memory? After all these years, the person she had been searching for finally found her whereabouts. Knowing that he was there, the first thing Li Wei wanted to do was to see him, wait until his identity was confirmed, kill him, and then come back to live his own life.

But how to get to him

Li Wei lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling blankly, and slowly sorted out his ideas. There is a railway station in the county, and the long trains are said to be able to run very far and very fast.

She found a map and studied it. From the map, Wu County and Xitang were not too far apart, but when converted to a scale, there were thousands of miles of land in between. However, in a time and space with convenient transportation, a distance of thousands of miles is nothing.

First of all, she should buy a train ticket. After having this idea, Li Wei rode to the train station. In the timetable published in front of the train station, she could not find the train bound for Zhejiang Province, so she Came to a window and asked. The conductor told her that she had to go to the provincial capital to get a train to Zhejiang Province, and also asked about the fare. One ticket costs 75, so a round trip costs 150.

Li Wei rode her bike home. She calculated the price and found that the train ticket alone was one hundred and fifty. The train cannot go directly to Xitang, and you have to take buses several times along the way, so the fare is a huge expense. Where will we stay when we get there? Do we need money to eat

Most of the money she saved from her pocket money now bought reference materials, so she didn't have much money at her disposal. You should prepare at least three hundred yuan for a trip.

She should be able to get the three hundred yuan, but how to persuade her family to go to Xitang is a problem. Now she can't get away. His new drama will start filming in March. She will be in school at that time, so she won't have time.

She already knew his whereabouts, but found that it was still in vain, she couldn't go. For the first time, Li Wei hoped that Zhao Qian could become famous through the new drama, preferably half of the world. Once he became popular, there would be more reports, and the target would be bigger, so she could learn about his situation more easily. The timing was wrong this time, and there will be a next time. Only Zhao Qian is still in this time and space, and she can always find him.

For the first time, Li Wei felt that he would be bound no matter what era he was in. Even if she knew his situation, she couldn't get close to him based on her current situation. Li Wei bowed his head to reality again.

By the time she got home, her family members who had gone out to buy new year goods had already returned. Liu Chunzhi saw her daughter and said angrily: "I asked you to look after the door at home, why did you run out again?"

Li Wei said thoughtfully: "I went out for a walk, but I was bored at home."

Liu Chunzhi added: "I bought you two new clothes and put them in your house. Try them on yourself to see if they fit. If not, you can exchange them."

Li Wei said oh and went into the house.

Liu Liang is here. After Wang Yulan left, Liu Liang moved here to live together with Li Jianping. Li Jianping didn't like this cousin. Liu Liang always liked to hide in corners when working, but he had lowered his requirements for this cousin. He just wanted Liu Liang to be sensible and not cause trouble in the store.

Li Jianping knocked on Li Wei's door, and Li Wei asked loudly inside: "What's the matter?"

"Let me ask you something."

Li Wei hurriedly put on a newly bought sweater, let her hair down and opened the door.

Here Liu Chunzhi and Li Minghua were counting the money they had just withdrawn from the bank in the room, counting the money back and forth twice.

They decided to go to the Wang family to formally propose marriage on the third day of the Lunar New Year. They were afraid that the bride price would have to be discussed by then. Liu Chunzhi and her husband said, "I think three thousand is enough for the bride price."

"Prepare five thousand yuan. The Wang family is afraid that they won't be able to spend three thousand yuan." Li Minghua knew Wang Jianguo. The Wang family valued money very much.

"The price of goods is rising rapidly, and the bride price has also increased with it. When I married into your family, the bride price was only thirty yuan, but in the blink of an eye, it has increased a hundred times."

"You still mention the history of more than 20 years ago. What date was then and what date is now? Can it be the same?"

The couple had cleared their money, but they were worried that they would lose a lot of their new year's money when they went back this time. Liu Chunzhi secretly saved a sum and planned to give Jianping's grandma and uncle two hundred each, which would be considered as a way to use up all his money. Mind. Nowadays, life at her eldest brother's house is not easy either.

When Liu Chunzhi put the money away and came out, she saw Li Wei rubbing his clothes there. She walked over without thinking.

"I heard that you brought your male classmates to our store a few days ago?"

"Did brother tell you?"

"Your eldest brother didn't say anything. It was Yulan who told me. He said that the boy was a very gentle man. Weiwei, no matter how old you are, the mother should take care of you. You have to focus on studying, not those immoral things. Do you know?"

"Is it immoral?" Li Wei felt confused and said angrily: "I went to the bookstore with him and bought two books. It was close to our home, so I asked him to come and sit in the store, but he left without even drinking. , Why am I immoral? He is my classmate, and he is my good friend since the first year of high school. How come he is completely different in your eyes? "

"I would also like to remind you, don't get angry at me."
