Chapter 54 No Disrespect... No Disrespect...

The next morning, Li Xiaodao opened his eyes and wanted to move, but felt pain all over his body.

Riding in a carriage and tidying up things again, my body is about to fall apart these days.

Xianggong was punctual like an artificial AI. Although she was still lying on the bed, she heard a sound downstairs. It was the sound of Xianggong practicing his sword.

"Ah..." She let out a long breath, mustering up the courage to face the cold.Time to wake up!Go all out!She sat up awkwardly, and while muttering to herself that long pain is worse than short pain, she quickly changed her clothes.

On the first morning of the new home, there were no ingredients to cook. Although hot and dry food in the morning is fine, the ingredients have to be bought after all. Anyway, Pei Zhiqi decided to go out to the street for breakfast with his wife.

While the lady was washing and arranging her make-up, Pei Zhiqi spread two pieces of letterhead on the table in the study room that hadn't been cleaned yet, picked up a pen and briefly wrote about his and his wife's safe arrival in the provincial capital and new address, and sealed it in two envelopes , and wrote the recipient's information on the envelope, and then dried the ink on the body.

When I went out later, I also mailed the letters, one to my parents in Baima Village, and one to my father-in-law in Jinsha Town.

Sending letters is also very convenient in the southeast province. Recently, there is a new popular place called the People's Letter Bureau, where ordinary people can send letters and items, and the provincial capital also has a place to receive letters.It is said that only the southeast province has this civil letter bureau at present, and the towns in the north have not yet become popular.

After writing the letter, help the lady comb her hair, and then set off with a small bamboo basket on her back.

The last time Pei Zhiqi came to the provincial capital to rush for the exam, he only hurriedly lived near the exam room in the north of the city for a few days, and then went back after the exam results were released, so he didn't know where to buy frequently used supplies near the southeast of the city.

"Sister, let's go out of the alley and have a look later. If the medical center of my brother's house is open, I will go to the door and ask the little guy how to get there, so that I don't have to ask passers-by. It will be more convenient." Li Xiaodao said I also put on a bag for carrying things on my shoulders, and said to my husband.

"Okay," Pei Zhiqi replied.

After closing the gate of the hospital and exiting the alley, Li Xiaodao asked Xianggong to wait at the entrance of the alley. She walked quickly to the entrance of the medical hall and saw that the door had been opened, so she found the young man who received her yesterday at the entrance.

After the turmoil last night, everyone in the clinic now knows that the girl and scholar who came yesterday are the sister and brother-in-law of the owner of the clinic. As soon as Li Xiaodao arrived at the door, the young man stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Miss Li, come here!" La! I’m Xiaodouzi, Xiaodouzi who is in charge of receiving patients! Are you looking for the boss today?”

Li Xiaodao shook his head with a smile: "Hi Xiaodouzi! I'm not looking for brother, I want to ask you for directions."

"Oh~ Miss Li, what way do you want to ask?"

"There are quite a lot of them. I want to ask where can I buy breakfast? Where can I buy vegetables, fruits, meat and eggs? Where can I buy tooth powder, bath beads, and soap for washing clothes? Where can I find a book store? Where can I find a horse shop? Where is the post office? And... Where is the jewelry shop? Where is the blacksmith shop?" Li Xiaodao said one by one, wringing his fingers.

After hearing this, the young man laughed and said, "Miss Li, don't worry, the places you asked about are not far from us except the blacksmith's shop! Let me get a piece of paper and draw a simple drawing of the nearby alleys for you. It will be much more convenient for you to mark the places you are looking for! Wait a moment!" After saying that, Xiaodouzi ran to the counter where the medicine was collected and asked for a piece of rough paper, and then he lay down on the counter to write and draw.

After a while, Xiaodouzi came back with the toilet paper, and handed it to Li Xiaodao with a smile.

Li Xiaodao took it over and took a look, good guy, the whole paper is full of crooked lines, and there are also remarked words in a row. It is really a very sincere one-line diagram...

However, although the blueprint is not good looking, it is very practical and easy to understand.

Li Xiaodao smiled at Xiaodouzi: "Thank you! Come back and bring you some snacks!"

Xiaodouzi smiled subtly: "How embarrassing..."

After asking about the road and meeting with Xianggong, the two began to study the blueprint.

"Sister, I'm afraid I can't buy them all at once today. Look, go here to eat breakfast. There is a vegetable market nearby, where you can buy ingredients, tooth powder and bath beads. You can also buy them when you come back here, but the book shop is not there. It’s in this direction, and walking with a lot of things on your back is strenuous, so I’ll buy the blue and white paper for handwriting at another time!” Li Xiaodao said while pointing on the blueprint.

Pei Zhiqi nodded: "We finished our breakfast here, first went here to post the letter, and then walked across this alley to the market to buy ingredients."

Li Xiaodao agreed: "I almost forgot to send a letter. I have to walk a lot today, so let's set off quickly!"

The sun came out, and it shone warmly on the two hurriedly walking.

*

This shopping trip didn't end until noon, and the whole journey was on foot. Although I only carried some small items such as bath powder and soap for washing clothes, most of the weight was on Xianggong's back, and Li Xiaodao was still exhausted. She felt that her feet were filled with lead, and the few steps near the door of the house were almost moved in with her legs hugged.

After arriving home, he put down his things, and Li Xiaodao took his husband, who was planning to go directly to the kitchen to organize things, to the hall, sat down on a chair, and had a good rest.

"Don't worry, my husband, don't worry, let's take a break first." Li Xiaodao lay on the back of the chair, a little prettier than Ge You.

Seeing the exhausted lady, Pei Zhiqi felt very distressed, and wanted to boil some soup to quench her thirst, and cook lunch by the way, but as long as he moved, the slumped lady would try her best to hold him up and make him obedient Sit down and rest.

"Don't worry, I will pack and cook with my husband after a break."

He has been used to walking since he was a child, and he has been exercising daily in the past few months. Although he is a little tired from carrying things on his back, it is okay, and he will not be too tired to move.But he couldn't take away his wife's kindness, so Pei Zhiqi had no choice but to sit down obediently.

Until the lady leaned against the back of the chair, closed her eyes slightly, breathed evenly, and fell asleep sitting in the hall.

The house is transparent from north to south, and there is a draft in the winter, so you will catch cold when you sleep here.

Pei Zhiqi felt bad.The lady used to fall asleep in a place other than the bed and never woke up.

He hurriedly stood up and walked to the lady, softly said: "My lady, wake up, you can't sleep here."

As expected, it had no effect at all.

In desperation, he had no choice but to pat the lady's shoulder lightly. After patting for a long time, it didn't work.

There was only one last resort, the wife liked to eat the sea oyster porridge he cooked, so he whispered in her ear: "My lady, get up, let's cook sea oyster porridge together."

If you don't wake up after hearing these words, you are in a deep sleep.

Pei Zhiqi looked at the sleeping face of his wife, feeling distressed and cute, shaking his head and smiling.

Then he leaned down and sighed softly: "Miss...forgive me..."

Before the words were finished, I don't know if the lady was just talking in her sleep or she replied in a daze: "Don't be rude...don't be rude...how can it be called... rude..."

Pei Zhiqi thought that the lady had woken up, so he yelled again, but he couldn't wake up again, the lady started to breathe evenly again, and slept soundly.

Pei Zhiqi looked at her cute sleeping face, smiled slightly, then carefully picked up the lady on the chair, and went upstairs.
