124 Meeting After So Many Years

Pei Zhi remembered what he came for and said, “Come with us to the countryside tomorrow.”

“Are we going fishing?”

“No.” He explained it briefly and did not mention anything about farm work. “Remember to wear sportswear and no watch.”

“Why can’t I wear a watch?”

“It’s not easy to walk there. If you accidentally fall, you’ll break it.”

Chu Yuzhou believed him.

The next morning, he changed into sportswear and drove out the city with the two old men.

The quiet mountain path was unique.

The warm sun shone through the lush trees. When the breeze brushed past their faces, they felt relaxed.

“Park here.” Pei Zhi pointed at the muddy road.

He picked up the gift box and waited for Chu Yuzhou to stop before opening the trunk. “The road ahead is too narrow. We can only walk.”

“For how long?”

“About ten minutes.”

Chu Kui looked at the mud road ahead.

He pointed at the courtyard that was surrounded by fences. “Is that Old Lin’s house?”

“Yes.” Lin Jiao helped Pei Zhen as they walked on.

She paid attention to the road under her feet, afraid that he would accidentally trip. “There’s a river behind the courtyard where we can fish.”

Chu Yuzhou suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He went back to get the fishing rod from the trunk and ran to catch up with them, his eyes fixed on the trumpet flowers on the fence.

“You’d better not pick it.” Seeing him reach out a hand, Pei Zhi reminded him in time, “If you pick it, you’ll be beaten up.”

“I wasn’t going to.”

“Put your hand back down before you say that.” Chu Kui glared at him and walked into the courtyard first.

He shouted into the house, “Old Lin!”

This sonorous voice startled Lin Kanglu, who was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper.

He looked at the two old men through the window. Just as the corners of his mouth curled into a nostalgic smile, he cleared his throat to suppress it.

“You old thing, are you deaf? Come out quickly!”

Chu Kui pulled Pei Zhen to sit at the table in the courtyard. “His ears are not working well.”

Lin Kanglu smacked the newspaper on the table.

He walked out. “Who let you in?”

Pei Zhen pointed at the open door. “The door is wide open, so we let ourselves in.”

“Stop arguing.” Chu Kui waved his hand and interrupted them. “I’m dying of thirst. Get us a cup of tea first.”

“You deserve to die of thirst!”

Lin Kanglu glared at him and turned to enter the house.

Hearing the sound he made in the kitchen, Pei Zhen stretched out his neck and shouted, “I want to drink Pu Er!”

“I don’t have that!”

“Then black tea will do just fine.”

“I’m already being merciful enough to give you something to drink. Do you think you get to choose?” Although Lin Kanglu said that, he still brought out a pot of Pu Er tea.

He gestured for the juniors to sit down. “I don’t have time to entertain the two of you. Hurry up and leave after drinking it!”

“I heard the sound of chicken.” Chu Kui did not answer him at all. He looked at Chu Yuzhou and said, “Go to the backyard and catch one.”

“I’ve never caught one.”

“It’s very easy to catch.” Pei Zhen called out to Pei Zhi. “Go with Pei Zhi and choose a fat one to stew.”

Lin Kanglu slapped the table. “Did I agree?”

“As long as Jiaojiao agrees, your opnion is insignificant.” Chu Kui smiled amiably at Lin Jiao. “Right?”
