Chapter 1363: Arriving in the middle of the night

Yang Zhengxin indeed arrived in the middle of the night.

When he arrived, the village was pitch black, the dogs weren't even barking, and the taxi driver followed the navigation with trepidation. The driver kept staring at him in the rearview mirror while driving; if it weren't for the fact that the other party looked like a young boy who hadn't shed his childishness, he would be feeling quite anxious right now.

After all, it wasn't a holiday, and this was a remote village with nine turns and eighteen bends, why would anyone come in the middle of the night? Hearing him mutter on the road, it was his first time here too……

Hiss! Could he have been scammed!

The driver imagined all sorts of thrilling stories, while Yang Zhengxin was clutching his stomach, impatient: so hungry, so hungry, so hungry!

To save time, he hadn't eaten anything other than airplane food? Getting off the plane, entering the subway, rushing all the way to the high-speed rail station, and then calling a taxi directly after leaving the station……

If there had been even the slightest delay, he probably wouldn't have arrived until tomorrow.

But, for the sake of beef, he went all out!

Looking at the trees with heavy shadows on both sides of the road, the large patches of jungle flashing by in the high beams, and finally the villa hidden behind the bamboo forest that only revealed a faint light……

"Qiao-baby!"

He pushed open the car door and shouted: "I'm here!!!"

After a brief silence, the lights on the third-floor balcony were instantly turned on! Qiaoqiao lay on the corridor looking over; the yellowish light in the night sky enveloped his face in a hazy halo, looking exactly like the filter food should have on TV.

Yang Zhengxin rubbed his stomach and turned to pay the taxi fare to the driver, who was relieved on the side.

He had asked Qiaoqiao before getting in the car, and heard that a chartered car trip was 200, but because it was the middle of the night and at the high-speed rail station, he voluntarily added 80.

And so, the driver didn't stutter at all, and even considerately took down the large suitcase: "Young man, I'll send it into the courtyard for you."

Yang Zhengxin had already seen the lights in the windows of the entire villa lighting up one by one, and felt a bit embarrassed—in his excitement, he had forgotten that everyone in the village went to sleep early. Although Qiaoqiao had said before that his brother and sister hadn't slept yet, but……

He had forgotten about the parents.

He said goodbye to the driver in a few words, pulled his suitcase, and ran forward, not forgetting to look pitiful: "I didn't bring anything, I just brought you a few models, it was so hard to get through security……"

Qiaoqiao was so happy!

He had never assembled the kind of models Yang Zhengxin mentioned, especially since there were many metal mechanical parts, and he was happy and unreserved: "You've worked so hard! But I'm good to you too! I'll cut you a big piece of braised meat in a while! Do you want to eat a bowl of noodles?"

A sudden joy from heaven, Yang Zhengxin nodded like a garlic masher.

At this time, Song Tan and Lu Chuan also came downstairs: "Yang Zhengxin? You've grown taller than you looked in winter."

Yang Zhengxin also quickly straightened his expression: "Sister! You look even better! Oh my, is this my Brother Lu? Sister, your taste is really good, look at my brother, how handsome!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was that habitual tone, naturally familiar and unpretentious, but because he was young, he had a youthful innocence, so he didn't feel greasy at all, but rather like the vigorous wild grass seen on the roadside, possessing a natural vitality.

Lu Chuan couldn't help but laugh, then rolled up his sleeves: "You must be starving, right? Come, I'll take you upstairs to settle your luggage."

Song Tan waved her hand: "I'll do it, you go to the kitchen and help out, Qiaoqiao said he was hungry all the way here."

Yang Zhengxin watched Song Tan pick up his heavy suitcase lightly and couldn't help but give a thumbs up again: "Sister! You're still so amazing!"

He wasn't shy either, and followed Song Tan upstairs, chattering all the way: "Sister, I told you before, let my dad send a few small excavators, why didn't you want them? Many of our customers say they are great for use in hilly areas."

"But there really aren't any, these fake ones aren't bad either—these are models our family keeps for collection, all alloy parts, very heavy. It was such a hassle at security……"

"There are blueprints too, I'll assemble them with Qiaoqiao later—he said there's another friend here named Chen Chi, the three of us can assemble them together!"

There are no secrets between young children, especially since Qiaoqiao and Chen Chi didn't even have the consciousness of things that couldn't be said. At this moment, Yang Zhengxin chattered away, reporting all his experiences during this period.

Song Tan pushed open the door: "Come, next door is Qiaoqiao's room, but because we wanted to partition more rooms at the beginning, the room is relatively small……"

"It's not small!"

Although he came from a wealthy family, Yang Zhengxin didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this ten-square-meter room at all: "I visited the university, the dormitory environment inside is much harsher than this, Sister, don't worry, I'm not picky!"

He happily opened the suitcase, and sure enough, saw several large boxes stacked inside, with some personal electronic items and odds and ends stuffed in the corners……

In short, he didn't even bring a pair of socks.

But this wasn't a big problem either. Song Tan thought about the clothes she bought for Qiaoqiao—although they were a bit plain, the materials were all okay. Why would a young man be so particular? Just make do.

But this had to wait for Qiaoqiao to rummage through the wardrobe himself, while Yang Zhengxin rubbed his stomach, unable to wait to go downstairs: "Sister! Is the beef delicious?"

Song Tan thought about how everyone's bellies were round tonight, and the lethargic look of sitting there not wanting to move after eating, and nodded: "Delicious."

Yang Zhengxin's eyes instantly lit up, and his stomach let out a long series of rumbles. And on the stairs, Song Tan said with a smile: "You're late."

"If you had come earlier, you could have eaten our stir-fried beef tenderloin with pointed peppers. The beef tenderloin is tender and fragrant, stir-fried with spicy pointed peppers, one bite and your forehead will sweat, then shovel in a mouthful of fragrant rice…… you should be able to imagine how appetizing it is, right?"

"There's also tomato stewed beef brisket, all tomatoes from our vegetable patch, although the seedlings were forced in the greenhouse at first, it was just a small patch, and the natural ripening didn't affect the taste at all. Grandpa Seventh picked the soft and sandy ones to stew, the whole soup is reddish, and the beef brisket inside……"

"Cilantro mixed beef, this dish is the simplest, just boil the beef and slice it, Grandpa Seventh's craftsmanship, you might not have tasted it, those dipping sauces he mixed……"

The words stopped abruptly here. Under Yang Zhengxin's puzzled gaze as he tried to purse his lips to hold back his saliva, Song Tan smiled slightly again. At this moment, she actually possessed three points of Lu Chuan's essence, intentionally and not very obviously.

"Forgot to ask, you eat cilantro, right?"

Never mind cilantro, Yang Zhengxin was so greedy he felt like chewing his shoe soles! Now his whole head was filled with only the word "eat".

And at this moment, a slight "sizzle" came from the kitchen, and a rich fragrance suddenly burst out in the courtyard! ===== CHAPTER 1364 =====
