walk alone.

A good night's sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, after eating a hot breakfast, three people, one old, two young, and three people set off by car early, so as to save the unfamiliar Yu Hui from staying alone in the train station, which would be unsafe.It's just that although the three of them set off as early as possible, they "coincidentally" met several villagers before the car drove out of the village.After all, it is a village, and Liu Qingquan, who was driving, was embarrassed to pretend not to see it, so he could only stop the car and say hello to the "coincidentally" villagers.

It's just that these villagers didn't look like they happened to meet them, but more like they heard the news that they were going out from somewhere, and they were waiting here specially.It didn't take long before Mr. Chen's guess came true. These villagers were not polite at all. Before saying a few words, they took out shopping lists from their pockets. The old man, grandson, grandson and grandson helped to carry the things.

"Hey, Ah Qing's sister-in-law, it's not that we don't help, we really don't have time this time. To tell you the truth, we are going to pick up your aunt's natal nephew at the K city train station this time, that poor child A few days ago, the 15-year-old child who just lost his parents suddenly became an orphan and could only come to his aunt and grandmother. Now that the snow is falling so heavily, the road must be difficult to walk. Can we catch up before dark? I'm not sure about coming back, how can I have time to help you buy so many things? I'm really sorry..." If these daughter-in-laws just asked them to help bring a few bags of rice or noodles, the old-hearted Mr. Chen would also Will not refuse.It's just that these daughters-in-law are really too much. Looking at the long shopping list, it will take at least half a day just to help them buy everything. Wouldn't they want to smear them back?And it's not good to help this family but not that one, but if they all agree, they won't even think about coming back tonight!

I guess I didn't expect that the good-natured man who is always easy to talk would refuse outright. The faces of the few women who "waited for the rabbit" when they got the news last night immediately turned ugly.It's just that Mr. Chen is an elder after all, and they don't want to be blatantly disrespectful to the elders, so they can only plead softly for a while with a stiff face.But this time, Mr. Chen obviously didn't want oil and salt, no matter how much they pleaded and refused to agree, these women could only give up, and expressed in a humble way to help them bring a few bags of flour.

Mr. Chen was not unreasonable, thinking that they were going to go to the supermarket to buy things anyway, so it would be no problem to bring a few bags of flour for these families, so he agreed.

After dismissing these women, Liu Qingquan drove to the only road out of the village.Just as they were about to leave the village, and the tense nerves of Mr. Chen and Liu Qingquan relaxed a little, the car was stopped again.This time, the people who stopped them were acquaintances, Mr. Chen's elder brother and sister-in-law, Chen Dahai and Liu Caihua.

It turned out that Chen Daguan Chen Xiaoguan (the eldest son and youngest son of Chen Dahai and Liu Caihua) who stayed in the city in September and wanted to fish in troubled waters, but suffered a lot, finally grew up this time. Memory, seeing the situation is not good, quickly packed up the belongings and returned to my hometown.Coincidentally, the train that the two families took also arrived today.I don't know where Chen Dahai and Liu Caihua heard the news. When they learned that the third child was going to drive out with their grandson, the old couple rushed over immediately, asking Mr. Chen to help pick them up.

"Brother, don't you have a van at home? Besides, we are going to the train station in K city, and we are going on a different road from the officials..." Mr. Chen was very depressed, thinking that it must be his wife who followed him yesterday. Mrs. Li made a slip of the tongue when she was visiting together as a child, otherwise, why did it suddenly seem like everyone in the village knew they were going out?Besides, his eldest brother and sister-in-law are too unreliable, right?There are six members of the senior official's family (people in the countryside get married early, and Chen Dahai is already a great-grandfather), and the minor official's family is five members. There are eleven members of their family, no matter how big their cars are, they can't fit them!What's more, they have to buy some new year's goods while going out this time. How can there be so many places for the dozen or so people to sit!

"Isn't it just a coincidence that you are going? The road is slippery in heavy snow, and it is inconvenient to drive. When you get to the old city, it won't take much time to walk inside..." Probably because of asking for help from others, Liu The tone of cauliflower is much better than before.Of course, it is only in comparison with before.

"It's not a matter of how much time it takes. The key is that our car can't hold so many people! Xiaohui's kid has a lot of luggage, and we have to buy some food. The kid has come all the way, so we can't eat every day. Steamed buns, right? Just now there are several companies that asked us to help carry a few bags of noodles, how can there be any extra space in this car?" Seeing the face of his always mean and difficult sister-in-law suddenly darken, Mr. Chen could only smile wryly and said helplessly. .

Liu Caihua, who was angry, wanted to say something, but was pulled by Chen Dahai, and only waited to give Liu Qingquan, who had been silent for a long time, a hard look, and turned away angrily, without even saying hello.Although Chen Dahai's complexion was not very good, he was not like his wife who didn't show any affection at all. After reluctantly telling Liu Qingquan to "drive carefully", he said goodbye and left.

"Hey, when you go back, you have to talk about your grandma. It's okay to tell others what you are doing. Let's see what happened!" Mr. Chen looked helpless, and it was like going through five passes and killing six generals when he left the village. Yes, even more tiring than when he helped others make expensive antique carved huanghuali furniture!

"Phew, I finally got out of the village." Liu Qingquan couldn't help sighing, the village is not good at all, every family is connected to relatives, no matter how difficult it is, they have no room to refuse. "I guess my grandma slipped the tongue. Things happened. It's useless to talk about it. Grandpa, don't blame grandma..."

"I'm not blaming her, I just want her to be vigilant, how can I tell outsiders everything?"

Seeing that Mr. Chen and Liu Qingquan's grandfather and grandson looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, Qin Bin, who had been sitting quietly in the passenger seat, felt that they were making a fuss too much.If it were him, since he didn't want to pay attention to those people, he could just speed up and drive over, how could those people run desperately to stop him?Although Qin Bin knows a little bit about the ways of the world, but he doesn't understand it thoroughly enough. Being a loner, he probably will never understand the complicated and difficult survival rules of social creatures!

Without the villagers' obstruction from time to time, the car obviously went faster after leaving the village.At the beginning, Mr. Chen was still worried about the slippery road and was afraid of any accident, so he kept telling his grandson to drive slowly.But after walking for more than a quarter of an hour, he saw that his grandson was driving very steadily, and the snow-covered road was not as difficult as he had imagined, and Mr. Chen was no longer nervous and chattering all the time.Seeing that grandpa stopped nagging and nagging as if facing a big enemy, Liu Qingquan was also secretly relieved. If grandpa kept nagging, he didn't know how to drive anymore!

It's just that a snowy day can't be compared with a sunny day. Even if the road is empty and there is no one there, Qin Bin has painted a variety of formations on the car. As long as the technology is not too bad, if you are rushing to death, you will never have a traffic accident Liu Qingquan didn't dare to drive the pickup as a racing car.Of course, even if he dared, the old man in the back seat would not allow it.Moving forward at such a slow pace, Liu Qingquan, who was so hungry that his stomach ached, didn't even care about eating, and finally arrived at the K City Railway Station before 12:30 noon.At this time, it had been more than two hours since Yu Hui got off at the station.

"Binbin, Ah Qing, here!"

Both Qin Bin and Liu Qingquan felt uncomfortable for a moment when they walked from the fresh air and snowy outside to the waiting room that was as warm as spring but mixed with smells.But before the two were stunned for a long time, they were awakened by the long-lost and familiar loud voice. They both looked at the source of the sound, and saw Yu Hui, who was getting thinner and haggard, smiling and waving at them.

"I'm sorry, brother, should you be in a hurry? This fucking snow keeps falling all the time, the road is really difficult..." Liu Qingquan stepped forward and gave Yu Hui a bear hug, looking at him pale with protruding cheekbones His cheeks were a little sad.It's just that he has been friends with Yu Hui for more than ten years, and he knows that this kid is the most stubborn and hates others to pity him, so he can only forcefully suppress the bitterness in his eyes and pretend to be heartless.

"Hehe, it's nothing, the waiting room is quite warm." For some reason, Yu Hui, who had been suppressing the grief in his heart, unconsciously blushed when he saw the two good friends.Yu Hui didn't want to shed tears like a girl, so he could only pretend not to care and wipe his eyes, not wanting Binbin and Ah Qing to see his frail appearance.Fortunately, his two buddies knew him best, and they didn't say anything about the topic he tried to avoid.

Qin Bin and Liu Qingquan helped Yu Hui carry a few bags of luggage, and led Yu Hui to the parking place.Looking at the large and small bags of luggage in his hands, Liu Qingquan and Qin Bin looked at each other, and saw a look of relief in each other's eyes.It seems that Yu Hui is still the optimistic and strong boy he used to be. Although his family suffered a sudden disaster, he not only lost his parents in an instant, but also suffered cruel injuries from his relatives, but he is still rational and strong after all, and he did not give up on himself because of this. , Instead, treat life with a more serious attitude than before!

Railway stations have always been synonymous with crowds, but now this snowy day is even better.The three of Qin Bin struggled through the crowded crowd with their luggage on their shoulders, almost being washed away by the crowd several times.In such a cold day, when the three of them finally got to their car, they were all sweating, which shows how many people have returned home from all over the country!It's no wonder that the railways dare not shut down casually in such bad weather!
