The next day, when Chen Hai woke up, it was already around nine o'clock in the morning.
Cousin Sun Jinzhong did not see his shadow.
The bed next to it was neat and tidy, with no trace of anyone having slept on it.
It seems that Sun Jinzhong did not sleep here last night. I don’t know if he went back home or if he had other arrangements!
Yanbei Village is on the outskirts of the city, not far from the county seat.
Sun Jinzhong had a thousand dollars given to him by himself. Maybe he could find a girl to babbling and learn English, but that was not possible.
For him, Chen Hai has nothing to worry about!
I did a divination yesterday and found that his weakness is still there, but he is just a little mentally tired. If he can sit, stand and walk normally, there will definitely be no problem for him.
Feeling a little hungry, Chen Hai washed up and walked straight out of the guest room.
At this time in the hotel, breakfast has passed and lunch has not yet started.
There was no shortage of money in his pocket, so Chen Hai naturally ran outside if he wanted to eat.
The local rice noodles in Liuyuan County taste very good, especially the beef noodles. Just thinking about it makes people salivate.
Seriously speaking, if you want to eat authentic rice noodles, you have to go to a small restaurant in an alley.
The cleaner the noodle shop looks and the more luxurious the decoration is, the rice noodles inside always feel like there is something missing, and it just tastes tasteless.
"Beauty, room 8301, help me clean up!"
Walking to the front desk of the hotel lobby, Chen Hai lightly knocked on the table and said with a smile to the front desk lady inside.
The room he lived in was actually clean. It didn't matter whether it was cleaned or not.
He did this to test how long Li Dajiang had opened the room for him.
At home, when he came to Liuyuan County yesterday, he had already asked someone to bring a message to his parents.
He won't go back for a few days and will definitely have to stay in Liuyuan County.
It would be best if Li Dajiang keeps the guest room he lives in open for him.
If not, Chen Hai would not force it.
After all, now that he has money in his pocket and cannot afford to stay in the Garden Hotel, there will definitely be no problem if he can stay in a cheaper guest house for a few days.
As for his cousin Sun Jinzhong, Chen Hai felt that if he was not forced to do so, it would be better not to bother him!
"Room 8301? Are you Mr. Chen Haichen?"
The lady at the front desk raised her head and asked with a professional smile on her face.
"Yes, I am Chen Hai!"
Although Chen Hai felt a little confused, he still smiled and nodded.
"That's it, Mr. Chen, Mr. Li from room 8308, before leaving in the morning, asked us to send you a message. He has something urgent and needs to go back to eastern Guangdong first!"
"He has already paid for the ten days of room 8301 you are in. He will come back to you after he finishes his work and returns to Liuyuan County!"
With a smile on her face, the receptionist explained to Chen Hai.
"Li Dajiang has returned to eastern Guangdong? OK, I know about this!"
Confused in his heart, Chen Hai nodded and responded.
According to the original plan, he would rest for three to five days, and after his body had almost recovered, he would start helping Li Dajiang find his grave.
But now, Li Dajiang's sudden departure has obviously disrupted this plan.
But seeing as he left so hastily, something important must have happened and there was a reason why he had to leave.
There are telephones installed in the guest rooms. Li Dajiang only left a message for the front desk and did not contact him directly by phone.
Apparently, he felt that Chen Hai was seriously weakened and wanted him to have a good rest without disturbing him.
Nowadays, it is really inconvenient to contact others.
This is especially true in a small county like Liuyuan County.
Although there are many public phones in the small shops on the street, the call fee is only one yuan per minute.
As for private homes with telephones, there may be some in the county, but in rural areas, they are really rare and hard to find.
My cousin Sun Jinzhong also has no phone at his home.
If Chen Hai wanted to call him, he would have to call the village party secretary's home first.
Then use the big loudspeaker to notify, wait ten or twenty minutes, and then call again, then it is possible to find the person.
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that Chen Hai knows the phone number of the Party Secretary of Yanbei Village.
"I heard that there is a thing called a pager for sale in the county post office!"
"After you finish eating, go to the post office and have a look. If it's not expensive, you can get one and use it first."
In a small alley near the Garden Hotel, Chen Hai found a small restaurant and got a bowl of beef noodles and two fried dough sticks.
A bowl of beef noodles costs 60 cents, and fried dough sticks cost only 80 cents. He was so satisfied with the food that he burped several times.
"Chen Hai..."
After settling the bill, Chen Hai walked out of the alley. When Chen Hai was about to go to the post office, a clear and sweet greeting sounded in his ears.
Not far away, Lin Lan, who had two braids and was holding large and small bags in his hands, was waving at him with excitement on his face.
In addition to Lin Lan, there are two girls also there.
"Chen Hai, why are you here? Hu Zhiyong asked you yesterday, didn't you say you wouldn't attend our class reunion?"
Seeing Chen Hai approaching, another girl named Li Ying looked at him with suspicion and asked while looking at him.
"I have something to do in the county. What about you? Are you going to Shuangzhou to attend the barbecue party?"
"Just you guys, where are Hu Zhiyong and the others?"
Looking happily at Lin Lan and Li Ying in front of them, Chen Hai asked with a smile.
While talking, he looked in all directions.
Among the classmates in the class, apart from the three girls in front of him, he really didn't see anyone else around here.
"Don't mention it. When we discussed it yesterday, we said we would go to Shuangzhou BBQ in the afternoon!"
"But later, Hu Zhiyong, Zhang Zhi and the others said that they would have a picnic in Shuangzhou during the day and change the barbecue time to evening to have more atmosphere."
"After they did this, everyone had to prepare more things, and they were divided into several groups. A few of us, didn't we just come from the market to buy things?"
Compared with Lin Lan, who is relatively shy, Li Ying is obviously much more active and talkative.
After raising the big and small bags in her hands and showing them off to Chen Hai, she deliberately made a face at Chen Hai.
"Barbecuing at Shuangzhou at night? That place is fine during the day, but chilly at night. There are basically no people around. Aren't you afraid?"
Chen Hai smiled and joked.
"There are more than a dozen classmates in the class together, what is there to be afraid of?"
Covering her mouth and smiling, Li Ying looked at Chen Hai meaningfully and said jokingly: "Chen Hai, how come you, a great old man, are less courageous than girls like us!"
"No wonder you didn't want to attend the party when Hu Zhiyong asked you. It turns out that you don't dare to go to places where there are few people around!"
