Amidst the flying snow, A Ning's uncontrollable cries could be heard. Everyone felt sad. No one spoke, but they quickly walked to the side of a muddy road at the foot of the mountain.
Here, they could stop the bus to go to the town. However, this bus only passed by at 8 o 'clock in the morning. If they missed it, they would have to wait for another day.
Eldest Uncle and his family arrived here. Eldest Uncle told his mother-in-law in dialect. Feng Gui and Shen Ruyi came over to comfort A Ning.
"A Ning, be a good girl. I will take care of you next year."
Shen Ruyi wiped away the tears on the little girl's face and said with concern.
A Ning was in a daze. She was not as lively as before. Although she was held in Chen Hansheng's arms, she kept looking behind, probably expecting her mother to suddenly appear on a hillside.
After Eldest Uncle finished talking with his mother-in-law, he walked to Chen Hansheng and Shen Youchu and said in local dialect, "Mother-In-Law, you must take good care of them."
"I know."
Shen Youchu agreed softly in Sichuan and Yu dialect.
Eldest Uncle was very polite to Chen Hansheng. After all, his daughter and son-in-law would work for him in the future. He took out tobacco leaves and white paper, wiped some saliva, rolled them up and said, "Have a smoke. Try the tobacco leaves in the mountain."
This set of saliva was done in front of him. Even if Chen Hansheng did not abstain from meat and vegetables, it was a little hard for him to accept. He was thinking about taking it first and then quietly throwing it away.
However, due to the cold weather, the edge of the cigarette paper curled up again. Eldest Granduncle frowned and took a hard bite at the curled corner. Only then did the cigarette stick firmly on the cigarette.
"F * ck you!"
Chen Hansheng's Adam's apple moved. When Eldest Uncle handed the cigarette to him again, Chen Hansheng weighed A Ning in his arms and shook his head. "Forget it. I have a habit. I don't smoke in front of children."
"You smoked last night. A Ning was also there at that time."
The honest Eldest Uncle immediately found a loophole.
"In fact, I just formed this habit."
Chen Hansheng answered calmly.
"Oh."
Great Uncle always felt that something was wrong, but then he heard a horn not far away, and the shabby minibus staggered over.
Time was of the essence, so he could only tell them the important things. Great Granduncle patted Chen Hansheng on the shoulder. "Ruyi and Ah Gui, I'll leave them to you."
"You're welcome."
Chen Hansheng supported his grandmother and said, "Doggie and Big Cat, I'll have to trouble you too."
"Oh, sure."
Granduncle was a little dumbfounded. That was true, but it sounded a little strange. It was like "You help me take care of my cat and dog, and I'll help you take care of your daughter and son-in-law."
Before Chen Hansheng got into the car, he thought for a while and threw the remaining half of Zhonghua to his granduncle.
"Don't get addicted. These cigarettes are expensive. Don't spend all the money your daughter and son-in-law earns to buy cigarettes for you."
Chen Hansheng said loudly.
"I know, I know."
The bus gradually left, leaving only Great Uncle, Shen Ruyi, and Feng Gui waving goodbye reluctantly.
"Don't forget to give Eggy and Big Cat an extra meal tonight."
On the way back, Great Uncle suddenly reminded his daughter.
"Why?"
Feng Gui didn't understand. "We're barely full."
"You know nothing."
Great Uncle sighed with emotion. "From today on, they'll be another life for you."
… ….
Ning got into the bus, still looking outside with hope, but she didn't see her mother. After the bus turned the corner, she couldn't even see Great Uncle's family.
Ning curled her lips and couldn't help crying again.
Shen Youchu held her in her arms and comforted her in a low voice. Before long, she fell asleep in the bumpy bus. When she opened her eyes again, she found that there were rows of low bungalows on both sides of the road, and there were also tricycles and bustling figures. It was no longer the endless snow in the mountains.
"Sister, have we arrived at the town?"
Ning leaned on the window and asked.
"We're almost there."
Shen Youchu took out a thermos flask. "Do you want some water?"
"I'm not thirsty."
The little girl lay in Shen Youchu's arms obediently, looking at Chen Hansheng who was snoring next to her.
"Brother is asleep."
Ning whispered in Shen Youchu's ear.
"Don't be noisy. Brother is very tired."
Shen Youchu touched Chen Hansheng's forehead. She was worried that the temperature in the bus was too low and Chen Hansheng would catch a cold, so she tried it every once in a while.
But fortunately, the temperature was normal.
When Shen Youchu was about to withdraw her arm, Chen Hansheng suddenly grasped her wrist.
"Ah!"
Shen Youchu was startled. Chen Hansheng's eyes were still closed, and he was snoring. Why did he suddenly move?
Ning was alert. She found Chen Hansheng raised the corners of his mouth, so she immediately said with a smile, "Brother is pretending to be asleep. He's already awake."
Children's attention was scattered, so they were very easy to coax. When they got off the bus at the station, Ning already had a smile on her face.
She probably had to cry a few more times after going to Jianye, so that she could slowly adapt.
It was not to adapt to the new environment, but to adapt to life without seeing her mother.
After arriving in town, there was finally signal on his phone. Chen Hansheng checked his phone and found no messages from Little Yu 'er. He was slightly relieved, knowing that she was still angry with him.
"I'm going to smoke."
After sitting in the waiting hall of the station for a while, Chen Hansheng stood up and said.
"Brother, didn't you just say that you don't smoke in front of children?"
Although Ning was not in a good mood, she still remembered.
"Ahem …"
Chen Hansheng choked. "You'll be studying in Jianye next year. I have nothing to teach you, so I'll tell you a super big secret."
"What secret?"
Ning was suddenly very interested. Children were always very curious.
"The more beautiful a man is, the more deceitful he is."
Chen Hansheng pressed the tip of Ning's nose and walked away proudly.
"Sister."
Ning wrinkled her little nose. "Brother is obviously not beautiful at all."
Chen Hansheng could only say that he was not ugly, but not beautiful. Although Ning was young, she was not blind.
… ….
Of course, Chen Hansheng's "smoking" was just an excuse. He wanted to contact Xiao Rongyu.
However, he couldn't contact her directly now. He was still in Chuanyu. If there was an accident, he might have to lie again.
Chen Hansheng called Wang Zibo first and told him that his mother-in-law and Ning are coming over. Come over for dinner tonight. "
Wang Zibo was very dissatisfied. "It's like my mother-in-law is moving. Why didn't you call me?"
"Don't talk so much nonsense. It's easier for me to be alone."
Chen Hansheng said impatiently, "How's the weather in Jianye?"
Wang Zibo walked to the balcony of the dormitory and looked around. "The temperature has dropped. It's drizzling."
"Got it."
Chen Hansheng hung up the phone and turned to send a message to Xiao Rongyu.
Chen Hansheng: Director Xiao, have you realized your mistake?
Soon, his phone rang with a "ding" and he received a reply.
Xiao Rongyu: Whoever contacts first is a dog. This is what you said! Also, I didn't do anything wrong!
Chen Hansheng: If you don't change, then continue to reflect. I just want to remind you to keep warm when the temperature drops.
Xiao Rongyu: Bah, I came to the library a long time ago. I just got up like you. Humph, don't disturb me when I'm reading!
"Okay."
Chen Hansheng smiled quietly.
If he apologized at this time, Little Yu 'er might ask Chen Hansheng to accompany her.
But if he didn't apologize, Xiao Rongyu would be really angry. She must have been waiting for Chen Hansheng to take the initiative to contact her.
Therefore, Chen Hansheng expressed his concern with the weather dropping, but his tone was very tough.
The result was expected. Although Little Yu 'er said "don't disturb me when I'm reading", in fact, she had already forgiven Chen Hansheng in her heart. After all, it was Chen Hansheng who gave in first.
Another advantage of using the weather was that he could quietly imply that he was in Jianye and had never left.
"Sure enough, the more beautiful a man is, the better he is at lying."
Chen Hansheng put his hands on his waist in satisfaction and was ready to return to Jianye.
