Chapter 1012: Pig Brain
January 9th, also the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.
Early in the morning, Lu Chuan knocked on the door of the next room.
The two inside were sleeping soundly, no one answered.
Clearly, arriving in a strange city after eight o'clock last night, needing to wash up, eat, and rush to update, they were truly exhausted.
However...
Lu Chuan looked at the hundreds of chat records on his phone, thinking that people who code until twelve o'clock but chat until three o'clock and order barbecue delivery don't deserve the word "hard work."
Lu Jing, however, heard the movement and came out of the room: "Are we leaving now?" Isn't 8:30 on a winter morning a bit too early?
Lu Chuan was helpless: "I'd like to leave, but they're still sleeping."
As for himself, after washing up last night at nine o'clock, he wrote until 11 o'clock and went to sleep. He woke up before 7:00 this morning, washed up, and even spent more than an hour saving drafts!
The time was even overly generous.
Lu Jing:...
She often felt that she was still very young, perhaps it was that other old people wake up early, and the children sleep soundly, but in their family, it was just the opposite...
But thinking about it, it was also true, looking at the navigation yesterday, it would take an hour or so to drive to the village, so leaving at this time was fine.
Originally, they arrived early on purpose to see if there was any place they could help, so as to avoid being busy and chaotic on the day and having to entertain themselves, which would inevitably be inconvenient.
So she hurriedly returned to the room: "I'll pack my luggage, why are you knocking on the door? Just call them directly."
Lu Chuan nodded, but after returning to the room, he didn't call Qin Yun and He Kuang for the first time, but first sent a message to Song Tan:
【I've arrived in Yun City, is there anything you need me to bring from the city? Give me an address and I can drive to help buy it back. It just so happens I have three cars here.】
【Map location】
Thinking about it, a village banquet must need a lot of things, right! Asking one more question wouldn't be wrong.
Not long after, Song Tan's message came:
【That's great, I won't be polite!】
【It just so happens there's something I'd like to trouble you with—my cousin went to the city yesterday to pick up netizens, and arranged the car and time, but the chartered car had a problem this morning.】
【There are three netizens who have arrived at the high-speed rail station now, it's not far, is it convenient to go pick them up and send them to the hotel?】
【It just so happens that the hotel we booked for the netizens is also this one.】
Since people cooked for them with their own hands, Song Tan felt that their relationship was already very close, so she wasn't polite when asking for help.
And Lu Chuan was also happy—being able to help after disturbing them for a few days made him very happy.
So he agreed: 【Alright, I'm leaving now, I should be able to get there in about 10 minutes, the license plate number is...】
And Lu Chuan even asked thoughtfully:
【I have nothing to do today, if needed, I can stay at the hotel and help send any netizens who arrive over.】
【No need, no need!】
Song Tan hurriedly refused.
【Once you arrive, hurry up and come home, there's plenty of delicious food at home, Qiao Qiao especially wants to see you. As for the high-speed rail station, three actually arrived yesterday, and I've arranged cars for the other 4.】
This time Lu Chuan didn't refuse. He just sent a message to the other two next door—
【Delicious food awaits ahead】
Because the original plan was to wake up in the morning and drive directly to Yunqiao Village, they didn't bother to find a hotel last night, just searched for a good hotel near the high-speed rail station and checked in.
And now, it only took 10 minutes from driving out to arriving at the exit.
The three netizens were contacted in the group, and now seeing the Beijing license plate, they couldn't help but chatter as soon as they got in the car:
"Buddy, you're also here to attend the pig slaughter banquet! Is the hotel we're staying at far? Did you discuss with Teacher Qiao Qiao to let us stay there a day early? No need for Teacher Qiao Qiao to pay, I can pay for it myself!"
The one who said this was casual and carefree, clearly having some savings, and didn't care about the cost of this trip.
And another one was slightly cautious, now with a worried face:
"I asked for 4 days of personal leave, deducting 2000 in wages, I'll have to eat dirt this month... but I'm so unwilling not to come!"
After all, Qiao Qiao's livestream room had no moisture at all. Saying there were hundreds of thousands of fans, there definitely were. Drawing five spots from hundreds of thousands, he was lucky enough to be drawn, and the spot couldn't be returned or postponed, so if he didn't come, it would just be empty...
So he gritted his teeth, even if it was almost the end of the year, he still splurged!
Another one was also full of pain, speaking with the aura of visiting a grave: "Yes, we're all workers, what's your 2000-yuan vacation? Do you know how much I paid to ask for leave at the end of the year—I'm a financial officer!"
"Ah?!"
The other two were also shocked: "You're a financial officer and you ask for leave at the end of the year? Don't you want your job?"
The other party became proud: "I swore to the leader that if there's a chance to buy things here, I'll bring a copy for him even if I have to roll on the ground!"
"Holy cow... can you even do that?!"
Lu Chuan's down jacket was on the passenger seat, he was driving, listening to the three people in the back chattering, and couldn't help but smile.
The next moment, someone in the back seat leaned on the back of the seat: "Brother, are you a drawn spot or a buddy from the leaderboard?"
"When did you arrive? Why did Qiao Qiao's family arrange for you to pick us up? Did you infiltrate the inside?"
Lu Chuan was quite patient: "Not one of the spots, I'm a good friend of Qiao Qiao, invited by them."
"Also arrived last night, just happened to be staying nearby, the car arranged by their family had a problem this morning, I was close, so their family asked me to help."
"Didn't infiltrate the inside, I also have to look at the navigation to find the place."
He spoke neither fast nor slow, and didn't miss any of the questions the few asked, everyone accepted it instantly, and couldn't help but discuss again:
"It takes almost 10 hours to drive from Beijing, right? Is it tiring? If I had known, I would have driven!"
"No, driving is too tiring, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the mountain roads here. Qiao Qiao said there would be a car to pick us up and drop us off, it only took two hours by high-speed rail."
"I don't even have a car..."
The three of them didn't look very old, the oldest was probably only thirty, and their speech still had a naive and exuberant flavor, presumably their lives were affluent and comfortable.
It was rare to go on a long trip, thinking about the beautiful life in the next few days, Lu Chuan couldn't help but feel relaxed:
"Driving is indeed a bit tiring, but considering I have a car, I can pack more things when I leave, and it saves the security checks for high-speed rail and planes, so I insisted on driving."
"Just don't know if the car can hold what I want to buy—what if they sell pork too?"
When this was said, it was the turn of the three in the back to be dumbfounded.
Especially the one whose trip only took two hours, now slapped his thigh in hatred:
