Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 1622

Chapter 1622: Chapter 1623: Politeness Shouldn’t Be Taken Too Literally

After explaining some harsh truths and the ways of the world to Mother Cheng and the others, it was almost lunchtime. Cheng Su took a few elders to a local restaurant to enjoy some local afternoon tea. As they settled down, watching people leisurely reading newspapers, sipping tea from time to time, and nibbling on snacks, it was genuinely enviable.

"I think it’s only in big cities like this where people can truly be at ease. In our place, we’re facing the dirt and facing the skies, busy from dawn till dusk — where would we find the leisure to drink tea and read newspapers? It’s exhausting," Mother Cheng lamented.

Cheng Su said, "Indeed, there’s a habit of tea-drinking and chatting here, but not everyone feels laid-back. Actually, many people are struggling to make a living here; there are plenty of farmers working hard just like us!"

Guangcheng truly became prosperous in the 21st century; farmers rising up also happened in that era. One by one, wealthy villages emerged, and it’s not rare for many farmers to suddenly become millionaires.

And nowadays, there are still many farmers, even more than those living in the bustling city centers.

"But I think the real leisure is over in Chengdu, Sichuan. If you have the chance in the future, you should go and experience it — there, people truly know how to relax, drink tea, listen to opera, and watch face-changing shows. Such ease!" Cheng Su recalled her experience.

"You surely know a lot, girl." Mother Cheng gave her a sidelong glance, then noticing Xiao Qi’s eyes darting around, said, "Didn’t Second Brother Cheng ask you to pick a gift for Xiao Qi? Why did you only choose a small piece of clothing?"

Cheng Su put a crystal shrimp dumpling into her bowl and asked rhetorically, "What else should I pick then? Clothes are a gift too."

Mother Cheng was momentarily speechless.
