Chapter 42: Lots of Sugar...He Only Eats One a Day

After scaring off potential troublemakers with a realistic toy gun, Xu Hengzhou hurriedly made his way to the other place that Jiang Lei had told him about. This place couldn't exactly be considered a black market since it only had one shop for shipments and receipts.

Jiang Lei mentioned that this shopkeeper had some connections and could provide Xu Hengzhou with quite a few good items.

Xu Hengzhou planned to take a look first. If there was something he really wanted, he would make a move; otherwise, he didn't want to get involved with such people.

When he found the place, he followed the method Jiang Lei told him to connect with the owner and was led into a small courtyard where he could actually inspect the goods.

However, after seeing the items, Xu Hengzhou was disappointed. They were indeed good things—rice, flour, eggs, and meat—basically what people considered valuable during these times. But he specifically didn't need these.

Since he was already there, Xu Hengzhou bought some cornmeal as a courtesy, and the owner settled the bill without saying much. As he was about to leave, the owner suddenly smiled and said, "If young brother has any good items, don't hesitate to show me. I'll surely give you a good price."

Xu Hengzhou remained composed, smiled, nodded, and didn't continue the conversation.

The afternoon was fruitful, thanks to Jiang Lei's tips, saving him time. Xu Hengzhou went straight back to the Jiang family's house.

In the evening, the other members of the Jiang family also learned about his intention to leave. They naturally tried to persuade him to stay a bit longer. However, he had already made up his mind, and with the train ticket purchased, the Jiang family could only express their hospitality and regret.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Jiang got up to prepare breakfast for the family and specially cooked a bowl of sweet water and eggs for Xu Hengzhou. Unable to refuse, he poured half a bowl of sweet water for the little baby and shared the eggs with Jiang Lei and Jiang Miao. Then, he quickly finished the remaining half-bowl of sweet water.

Mrs. Jiang scolded him lightly, not really angry, and then turned to cook two plain boiled eggs for him to take on the journey.

As usual, Jiang Sen accompanied him to the train station in the morning. As Director Jiang went to the office, Xu Hengzhou first called Song Wenbin's office, informing him of his departure today.

Song Wenbin was overjoyed. If his eldest nephew didn't come back, the younger one at home would cry..

He thanked Director Jiang and expressed gratitude for taking care of Xu Hengzhou during these days. Director Jiang immediately praised Xu Hengzhou, his already positive impression boosted further. Xu Hengzhou had left a good impression due to his involvement in catching human traffickers, and now, after personal interaction, Director Jiang found him to be a smart, brave, and responsible young man.

Ever since the incident where he proudly boasted about Xiang Chen, it seemed that Song Wenbin had unlocked an incredible ability. He loved talking about his two children to others, and this time was no exception. If others didn't interrupt, he could probably talk about them all morning.

After spending the entire morning at the office, Song Wenbin calculated the time and figured out that his nephew should arrive in the afternoon. He decided to take the afternoon off and went to pick up his child from school. From a distance, he spotted his little one squatting at the classroom door, looking like a small mushroom.
