Just a quick calculation, you are a fugitive!

Although Su Chen's family lives in the countryside, or a small village in the mountains, the city he mentioned is Cuicheng, the provincial capital.

However, if you want to go to the city, you have to cross two mountains to the town first, and then take a bus, and the fare is five yuan.

In other words, if you can't make money in the city, the ten yuan on hand can only be used for one round trip.

Seeing Honghong's worried look again, Su Chen smiled.

"Don't worry, Dad will bring two sweet potatoes, so you won't be hungry."

"But you... It's so cold next time you want to wash clothes, just call your brother to go together, and wash faster."

Honghong pouted: "Grandma won't let you."

"Dad will go and talk to your grandma later."

Seeing Honghong hesitate, Su Chen stood up and walked out of the house.

Liu Chunhua was feeding rice soup to her grandson who was not even a month old, and turned around when she heard the noise.

"Ah Chen, is there something?"

"No, Mom, you said before that you wanted to alter Ah Hua's clothes, okay?"

"How can I have time? There are so many things to do here."

"If you don't have time, let Ah Peng help. Hong Hong knows to help wash clothes in the cold weather when she is eight years old, and Ah Peng knows to hide in the quilt when he is seven years old. It's not a big deal."

Liu Chunhua was stunned when she heard it, and she subconsciously wanted to refute: "But washing clothes is for girls..."

"Mom, there is nothing in the world that should be done. You spoil her too much."

"Me too, I was spoiled by you before and didn't do any work. I have to change and set an example. In the future, if there is any work at home, you can call me to help."

Liu Chunhua blinked blankly, and it took a long time for the word "OK" to come out.

After Su Chen left, she slowly turned her head and faced the old man who was burning fire in the stove.

"His father, please poke my leg with the fire tongs. Am I dreaming?"

Old man Su rolled his eyes.

"It's just a dream. Do you believe this kid's lies? If you really ask him to work, he will definitely complain that his waist is going to break."

"Bah, bah, bah, you old man is just a stinky mouth."

Liu Chunhua laughed again: "What did I say? Our Achen will get better sooner or later, sooner or later..."

As she spoke, Liu Chunhua thought of Xu Jiahua who died of dystocia, and sighed again.

"Ah, Ahua is not lucky. If nothing happened, he would be so happy now."

Old man Su saw his wife turning around and wiping her tears, and looked at the fire burning in the stove, and sighed.

How virtuous is his daughter-in-law?

Since I got married, I have kept the house clean inside and out, and I have also taken care of the children. It has only been half a month since I left, and I see that the children are all covered in dust, and the house is not clean at all.

Alas~

We had sweet potato porridge in the evening.

Su Chen had a large bowl, with less sweet potatoes and more rice in the bowl, and Liu Chunhua's bowl was clear soup.

He divided the rice in the large bowl with Liu Chunhua and Honghong, and drank two bowls of soup in one go, burping.

After everyone finished eating, he stood up to wash the dishes.

Liu Chunhua saw this and wanted to grab it, but was stopped by Old Man Su.

"Didn't you say that he has become better? We have to let people see how he is, okay?"

Liu Chunhua glared: "Being better is not this way, which man in the village washes dishes? Telling others will make people laugh."

Old Man Su asked back: "I have never washed dishes?"

Then he pulled Liu Chunhua back to the house without saying anything.

After Su Chen finished washing the dishes, he boiled water to wash the children's faces and feet. The old man Su, who was peeking at them, muttered, "Is he really getting better?"

Liu Chunhua was complacent: "That's not a big deal? How could I, as a mother, not know about the child I gave birth to?"

The next day, when she was having lunch, she was dumbfounded.

"Honghong, where is your dad?"

Honghong lowered her head: "Dad said he went to the city."

Liu Chunhua's voice suddenly rose: "Going to the city? How can you go to the city without money?"

"When did your dad leave?"

Honghong lowered her head even more after being yelled at by her.

"He left not long after breakfast."

"You damn child, why didn't you tell grandma? Oh, it's so cold, Achen, don't fall again," Liu Chunhua was about to nag again, but her grandson started crying. She didn't care at the moment, and was busy holding her grandson and changing his diaper.

On the other side, after shaking for more than an hour, Su Chen finally arrived at the bus station.

After getting off the bus and leaving the station, Su Chen was at a loss.

It was nothing. His original body had only been to the city once when he got married. He hadn't been here for more than ten years, and he felt very unfamiliar.

However, after walking down a street, Su Chen also realized that Cuicheng now looked like a wasteland.

There were two plots of land fenced off next to the bus station, and there was a clanging sound inside. It should be a building to be built.

As a provincial capital, Cuicheng should have quite a few people now.

Su Chen counted with his fingers and quickly looked to the west.

At the intersection of West Street, the busiest street in the center of Cuicheng, stood a new ten-story commercial building.

"Xinhui Department Store."

Su Chen squinted and recognized the words outside the commercial building, feeling a lot of emotion.

This place is really different from the previous life, and the words are also very different. Fortunately, his original body had studied for a few years, otherwise he would have been at a loss.

Xinhui Department Store looks high-end, but the two streets around the department store are still surrounded by low houses, and even if you look closely, there are shanties inside.

It is really old, but it is also really lively.

There are many clothing stores and pastry shops here, and there are also various snacks pushed by bicycles on the street, such as diced pineapple, candied haws, fried buns...

Shouts and greetings are heard everywhere.

Su Chen walked inside and stopped when he saw a book stand selling comic books.

He moved his fingers slightly and walked forward quickly.

The owner of the book stand was a man in his thirties or forties, holding a copy of "Story Club" in his hand.

He looked up when he heard the noise and saw Su Chen, calling him: "Want to buy a book? Two cents for one copy."

Su Chen shook his head and pointed to the old newspaper under the man's buttocks: "Brother, can you lend me this newspaper?"

The man was stunned for a moment, got up with a roll, and handed the newspaper to Su Chen: "Brother, do you have no toilet paper? There is toilet paper for sale at the newsstand in front, ten sheets for one cent. By the way, the public toilet is over there, about a hundred meters away."

Su Chen thanked him and waved his hand: "I don't want to go to the toilet, I want to write."

"Write?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and saw Su Chen smiling innocently and pointing to the brush and ink placed beside his stall.

"Use it."

"Big brother, thank you."

Su Chen quickly wrote two big characters on the newspaper with a brush: "Fortune telling."

After thinking for a while, he made a note below: You are not allowed to ask for money.

The man looked at Quan, and his face quickly became meaningful: "Hey, buddy, your business is a bit mysterious."

Su Chen smiled at him.

Cuicheng and even the entire province where it is located are close to the sea and have many mountains. The four olds that were destroyed decades ago are not very effective in this area, let alone now.

Although the official is openly opposed to superstition, everyone believes in it secretly.

It is believed that it is believed in by people with ability. With Su Chen's current dress, a sweater on the upper body and black pants on the lower body, and wearing old leather shoes, there is no sign of ability anywhere.

The man touched his nose and couldn't help muttering: "The end of the year is coming soon, and the scammers are also starting to do business~"
