Chapter 18: Someone's peach blossom is a bit beautiful

"By boat? Two or three days? So far?"

Qi Xu was really scared this time. If this was true, then did it mean that the trip would take six days or more?

When she thought about how many days it would take to get to the island family compound, she became very discouraged.

"Regret it?"

Jiang Hongyi didn't even move his head, his Adam's apple rolling as he uttered these three words, "Regret it, it's not too late to go back now."

"Qi girl!" Qi Hong stared at her and said sternly, "Hongyi, don't think too much. This girl has never been far away."

"Yes, Grandpa, I know."

After Jiang Hongyi politely replied to Qi Hong, he turned to Qi Xu, feeling a little uneasy.

"No regrets, haha, how could I possibly regret it? Not at all. I just feel a little worried when I think about the long bumpy ride on the road."

In Jiang Hongyi's mind, this answer is not the worst answer.

"good."

The ox cart fell into silence for a moment because of Jiang Hongyi's one-word answer.

Aunt Zhu's eldest son sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere, so he put all his effort into driving the ox cart faster.

The original one and a half hour drive from Lingxi Village to the town was shortened to 50 minutes.

Jiang Hongyi gave the fare to Aunt Zhu's eldest son, and led the way alone with the heavier luggage on his back.

"Qi girl, you two are husband and wife now. You should tolerate and support each other. You can't say whatever you want like before."

Qi Hong deliberately lagged behind Jiang Hongyi by a few steps, and started lecturing Qi Xu as soon as he caught up with him.

"Grandpa, my dear grandpa, I understand. I will never make such a mistake again. I will think before I speak in the future."

Qi Xu knew that Qi Hong would never stop lecturing, so he immediately made a promise to shut Qi Hong up so that he would forget what he was going to say next.

Jiang Hongyi took the two of them all the way to the ticket office at the train station. Fortunately, it was early, so they didn't have to wait long to buy tickets. He quickly bought train tickets for three people.

There were still more than forty minutes before ticket checking. Jiang Hongyi looked up at the sun, which was already halfway up in the sky. "Grandpa, do you and Xu Xu want to eat something to fill your stomach?"

"No, it's too much trouble to unpack. We can eat after we get on the train."

Qi Hong rejected his proposal immediately, and then the three of them sat down on the bench in the waiting room and waited.

Ticket checking usually starts thirty minutes in advance, so they only waited for more than ten minutes before getting on the train.

They were lucky. Although they had seat tickets, the carriage they were in was surprisingly free of the cries of children and the unpleasant smell of livestock secretions.

Qi Xu originally suggested that she keep watch in the first half of the night, but Jiang Hongyi flatly refused, "You and Grandpa don't need to keep watch while I'm here."

She didn't want to argue with this arrogant man about who would keep watch first and who would keep watch later, so she nodded in agreement, "Then if you get sleepy tonight, remember to wake me up to replace you."

The three of them had simple meals on the train, thanks to the food Liang Jing brought them, including pickles, steamed cornbread, multi-grain steamed buns, and vegetables that could be eaten raw, such as cucumbers and tomatoes.

After a few simple bites, Qi Xu looked out the window and saw that the sky had already darkened. Because two men, one old and one young, were sitting next to her, she fell asleep in a daze.

He slept until dawn and was woken up by the rumbling sound of his stomach.

During the two days and two nights on the train, Qi Xu felt a little confused. He would stare blankly after eating, and then fall asleep while in a daze.

Until the three of them successfully got into the cabin, the ship was divided into three floors, the stern was the cargo hold, and people were on the upper two floors. Jiang Hongyi took her and Grandpa Qi to the third deck.

Standing on the deck facing the sea, the gentle sea breeze made Qi Xu feel refreshed.

"The sky and water meet in one line. This scenery is unparalleled."

She squinted her eyes and leaned her head over the railing to have an intimate contact with the sea breeze.

Jiang Hongyi was standing behind her, looking at her obsessed look, and he was sure that she would definitely like life in the staff housing complex on Shanghai Island in the future.

"Captain Jiang? Long time no see. Did you go back to your hometown on leave?"

A delicate and soft female voice suddenly appeared behind the three of them. It must be someone Jiang Hongyi knew. He immediately turned around and said, "Comrade Chen Lin, long time no see. Yes, I'm on leave and going home to get married."

Qi Xu was a little curious, so he turned around to take a look. He was shocked when he saw it.

Comrade Chen Lin is extremely good-looking, with a pair of slightly upturned almond-shaped eyes under her willow-shaped eyebrows, and a rosy and shiny mouth under her high nose bridge, which makes people want to kiss her at first sight.

Of course, this idea belongs only to Qi Xu and does not include the emotions of anyone else.

But her eyes couldn't help but look at the other person's slender waist, and her hands subconsciously began to gesture.

Oh my god! That tiny waist could be hugged with one arm. Looking down at my barrel waist that hasn't lost any weight, I feel so frustrated.

When she was about to roar to the sky, she noticed an unnatural dark red flashing on Chen Lin's neck. Chen Lin seemed to feel something was wrong with his body. He raised his hand and patted his chest, as if to comfort something.

"Married? Captain Jiang, you're married? To whom? Not to the fat woman next to you, right?"

Chen Lin hadn't put her hand down from her chest yet. She pointed at Qi Xu with her other hand and trembled with disbelief.

"Comrade Chen Lin, this is my wife, please be respectful." Jiang Hongyi's face changed in a second at Chen Lin's rude question.

"Let me formally introduce you, Comrade Chen Lin. The person next to me is my wife, Qi Xu, and this elder is Qi Hong, Qi Xu's and my grandfather."

When Jiang Hongyi spoke again, his eyes were full of warnings, not allowing Chen Lin to continue to be arrogant.

"I'm sorry, I was a little excited just now and made everyone laugh."

"I'm Chen Lin, a cultural soldier in the Jingbin Island Navy Political Department. You can just call me Comrade Chen Lin."

"Hello, Sister-in-law Jiang, Hello, Grandpa Qi."

At this moment, Chen Lin seemed to be completely different from the arrogant person he was just now, and became gentle and elegant.

"Hello, Comrade Chen Lin, nice to meet you. You are so beautiful."

Qi Xu pretended not to notice her inappropriate behavior just now, greeted her with a smile on his face, and put his hands in a half-clenched position waiting for her response.

"Haha, hello, Sister Jiang. Forgive my rudeness just now. I was dazzled for a moment. You are obviously just plump, with beautiful features. You can be called a modern Yang Guifei."

Although Chen Lin was embarrassed, she still shook hands with her and took the initiative to greet her.

The moment the two palms touched, Qi Xu clearly felt an obscure airflow rushing to Chen Lin's back.

However, her mental strength is not enough to open the Yin-Yang Eyes, so she cannot see the true form of the chaotic airflow.

"ah!"

When Chen Lin's hand touched hers, it felt like it had touched a thorn, and her entire palm felt an inexplicable, piercing pain.

However, Chen Lin's expression only changed for a moment, and he quickly controlled his facial expression. "Hehe, it's probably because I stretched my muscles during training before and they haven't recovered yet. I'm really sorry."
