October 1st was a national holiday. There were many people at the train station.
On the train, Xia Qi and his son experienced for the first time how crowded it was to the point that they almost couldn't breathe.
Fortunately, Xia Jianhua had a natural advantage now.
Hugging the child.
After the initial wave of crowding, when the train started moving, everyone would try their best to leave a small space for Xia Jianhua and his son at the door of the carriage so that they could catch their breath. They could even use newspapers as cushions and sit against the door.
Along the way, the train started and stopped. It was slower than usual. It was unknown if it was because there were too many people, or if the train's power was weakened because of the overload. Anyway, when they got off the train today, the sky would be dark outside.
Fortunately, the minibus was now privately contracted. They knew that there was a train that was late, so they had to wait here overtime.
This also prevented Xia Qi and his son from staying overnight in the county town.
However, Xia Jianhua and his father managed to catch up with the bus, but his grandfather, who was by the roadside in his hometown, was worried.
Moreover, it was not just his grandfather who was worried. There were people beside him who were even more anxious than him.
The village chief, the secretary of the village, and the leader of the village group were all waiting with Grandpa Xia.
Yesterday, Xia Guiyun only followed the plan and said that she would only accept the fish and prawns from the group.
This situation naturally made the twenty or so families in the group overjoyed, and so did the leader.
However, the village chief, the village secretary, and the other villagers were not willing to do so!
Yesterday, there were many people in the Xia family's house until past ten o'clock at night.
Today, they represented the entire village to pick up Xia Jianhua.
Why?
He wanted Xia Jianhua to continue purchasing the fish and prawns in the village.
Although he felt that this might be a little difficult, and the final result might not be optimistic.
However, whether it was the villagers 'request or for him to continue walking in the town with his head held high, he had dragged the village secretary along and waited.
Xia Jianhua should have arrived at this hour by now, but he still didn't see the bus today.
"What's going on? Why haven't I seen the bus come back? Is there something wrong with the bus?”Looking at the asphalt road, the village chief could not help but pace back and forth.
"Yeah, what's going on? We've been guarding here all this time, but we didn't see any guest cars coming from the county town.”The village secretary was also a little anxious.
As the two of them spoke, Master Xia's heart hung in the air.
He couldn't even put down his hand that was holding the pipe. He could only use the cigarette to dispel the uneasiness in his heart.
In this day and age, not everyone could have a mobile phone. Xia Jianhua didn't want to buy a mobile phone. Although he could afford one, he didn't want to spend money like that.
Therefore, in this situation, they had no choice but to wait anxiously.
Just as they were about to lose their patience, another car light finally appeared at the end of the asphalt road.
"Look, this looks like the headlights of a bus, not a truck!”The village secretary happened to be looking in that direction at that moment. He immediately pointed in that direction and shouted excitedly.
"I saw it, I saw it. His granduncle is finally here. I was so worried!”
"Yes, yes, yes, it must be. What's wrong with this car? Why is it so late?”
The team leader and the village chief chimed in. Grandpa Xia didn't say anything, but his hand holding the pipe was trembling.
Only God knew how worried he was. It was his son and grandson who were waiting.
As for now, it wasn't that he wasn't excited or that he didn't want to speak. He just wanted to wait for the car to get closer so that he could see more clearly.
Fortunately, they were not disappointed this time.
The minibus smelled of gasoline and stopped in front of them.
Then, the car door opened, and the two of them quickly jumped out.
"Ugh!"
Xia Qi hadn't sat in this car for two months. Now that he was sitting in it, he couldn't take it even if he had a mask and orange peel. He jumped out of the car, took the mask, and bent down to vomit.
Xia Jianhua, on the other hand, had been training for the past few months. Although he had been frowning ever since he got on the bus and even closed his eyes during the journey, he didn't throw up.
"Jianhua!"
"Teacher Xia!"
"Second Brother Xia!"
A few different greetings sounded. The village secretary and grandfather came over.
"How did it end up like this!"
"That's right! We waited for more than an hour. We were so anxious that we thought something had happened on the way!”
Xia Jianhua put on a mask and took a few deep breaths, especially when the minibus started to move. He avoided the exhaust gas and waited until the bus left before he said,""The train is late!"
"This broken car is so uncomfortable. My stomach is churning!"”
"Haha! Come, have a cigarette to calm yourself down. I even specially picked a watermelon and two melons. They're frozen in the ditch by the roadside. You and your son haven't eaten yet, so let's ease your motion sickness first. I'll go get the melons!”Village Chief laughed.
He had received her and wanted to talk about it, but it wasn't a rush. They could chat on the way back and talk about it when they reached the Xia family.
"Village Chief, let me help you!" The team leader also went over.
Only the village secretary was still watching with a smile.
Xia Jianhua glanced at Xia Qi, who had just vomited.
The old man had already arrived beside Xia Qi and had even prepared water.
"Come, come, rinse your mouth with some water. I told you not to go with your father, but you cried and made a fuss just to follow.
You're going to suffer this time. Let's see if you'll follow me next time!”
Xia Qi squatted on the ground and took a sip from the water bottle.
"Quickly spit it out. Yes, spit it out before drinking!”The old man hurriedly said from the side, afraid that Xia Qi would drink the water himself.
Of course, Xia Qi would definitely not drink it. He was not a real child!
"Yes, the little one is so smart!"
Under the old man's praise, Xia Qi rinsed his mouth a few more times before taking a sip.
At this moment, the Melon Catcher duo also returned.
He didn't stay here.
Grandpa carried Xia Qi onto the bullock-cart.
The other adults followed him back.
As for the melons from the village chief's house, Xia Qi and Xia Jianhua had no appetite at all.
When they reached home, Xia Qi was taken to take a shower. Xia Jianhua didn't even have time to take a shower. He started to 'confess' to the village chief and the others in the central room.
