Every village would have one or two "village guardians." They were often simple-minded and foolish, yet kind-hearted.
The older generation often said that village guardians came to th...
My wife and the little girl were very excited until before going to bed at night.
All the things that needed to be taken had been packed and placed into two red, white and blue cloth bags.
Each person brought two sets of spare clothes, some extra underwear, and also brought their ID cards, passbooks, cash at home, and so on.
The wife even planned to take toiletries with her, but Chen Wang told her that they would be available where she lived when the time came, and he finally persuaded her to give up.
The little girl stuffed a lot of snacks into her bag and took the only photo of her parents, saying that she wanted to take her parents to see it as well.
After turning off the lights, the little girl ran to their room several times, saying that she couldn't fall asleep and wanted to sleep with them.
Chen Wang was so upset that he threatened her that if she didn't go to bed obediently, he would not go to the capital tomorrow.
The little girl then went back to her room obediently and never came to visit again.
Chen Wang and Lin Xiuqin got up at daybreak.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Chen Wang mixed the meat of the big insect with grains and cooked meat porridge to feed the three dogs.
He gave Jixiang two more bananas.
Afterwards, Lin Xiuqin prepared breakfast while Chen Wang took Jixiang and the three dogs to find the master.
After handing the dog and Jixiang to the master, Chen Wangzhe returned home and saw that his wife had baked a lot of pancakes, obviously preparing to take them as dry food.
"Didn't you say you were going to the city to buy some food to bring back? Why did you make so many pancakes?"
Chen Wang walked over with a helpless look on his face.
Lin Xiuqin looked up at him and gestured with a smile, meaning that she liked to eat these.
"Okay, okay, just give me less. We won't be able to finish the extra."
Chen Wang reminded.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded.
"Brother, sister-in-law!"
The little girl stood at the door without knowing when.
"Hey, you don't want anyone to call you today? Are you afraid that we will sneak away and leave you alone at home?"
Chen Wang pretended to be surprised and joked.
"Hehe... No!"
The little girl smiled embarrassedly.
"Don't stand there and be silly. Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face. We'll set off after breakfast."
"Uh-huh!"
…
…
Chen Wang’s plan was to take a tractor to the town’s bus station, take a bus to the city, then go to the bank to deposit most of the cash, and then go to the train station and take a green train to the imperial capital.
I already talked to Uncle Zhao about it yesterday and gave him five dollars.
There were a few villagers in the village who also wanted to go to town, so they could just take a ride.
Upon learning that Chen Wang and his family of three were going to the imperial capital for a trip, the villagers were surprised and then gave him all kinds of flattering words.
"Awang, you are really capable. I have never been to the city in my life, and you guys are going to the capital to play."
"Yeah, I wonder if I'll have the chance to go to the capital and see what a big city is like in this lifetime."
"The round trip ticket must cost a lot of money, right?"
"The new house is also being built. Seeing your family's life getting better and better, Xiuqin is really enjoying the good life with you!"
“…”
"Awang, remember to take good care of your wife, she's pregnant!"
A middle-aged woman gave careful instructions.
"Definitely."
Chen Wang smiled and nodded.
Lin Xiuqin sat next to him, leaning on him, with a happy smile on her face.
"Xiaoyu, remember to follow your brother and sister-in-law, don't get lost."
Someone laughed and teased the little girl.
"I won't get lost!"
The little girl raised her chin in dissatisfaction.
Everyone burst into laughter.
After arriving in the town, the villagers got off the bus one after another, and Uncle Zhao directly sent Chen Wang and his family of three to the station.
"Thanks, Uncle Zhao."
Chen Wang smiled and thanked him.
"You paid for it, why thank me, just go!"
Uncle Zhao smiled and shook his head, then drove away on the tractor.
Chen Wang picked up a woven bag in one hand, turned around and got into the car with his wife and the little girl, and got on a bus to the city.
After more than an hour's bus ride, we finally arrived in the city.
I found a bank first and deposited 6,000 yuan at the counter. The balance in my passbook reached yuan.
In addition, Chen Wang and Lin Xiuqin had more than 900 yuan in their hands together.
After coming out of the bank, Chen Wang raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch. It was already past ten o'clock.
"Come on, let's go find a place to buy some food and drinks, then have a meal before going to the train station."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
"Ooooh...buy food!"
The little girl cheered.
Lin Xiuqin also smiled and stretched out her hand as if to help get a woven bag.
"It's okay, just hold the little girl and I'll get it."
Chen Wang avoided her hand.
Lin Xiuqin didn't force it, she took the little girl's hand and followed him.
When they arrived at the pastry shop they saw when they first came to the city, Lin Xiuqin and the little girl picked out some.
Then I went to the department store and bought some instant noodles, sausages, melon seeds and potato chips, spicy strips and jelly, braised chicken legs and other snacks. I spent another 12 yuan to buy a green canvas bag with a picture of Lei Feng on it.
After walking out of the department store, Chen Wang took out the pancakes and snacks he brought from home from the woven bag, plus the snacks he had just bought, and put them all into the canvas bag, and then hung it on the little girl.
"I'm leaving this bag in your care. Remember to carry it with you when you get on or off the bus. Don't lose it."
Chen Wang gave the instructions with a serious look on his face.
"I know!"
The little girl touched the bulging canvas bag and nodded happily.
She likes this bag very much, and she likes it even more because it contains so many snacks.
Then we found a restaurant nearby and ordered three dishes and a soup, and the three of us ate our fill.
I stopped a tricycle on the roadside, negotiated the price with the driver, spent two dollars, and rode the tricycle all the way to the train station.
I asked at the window in the lobby and learned that the closest bus to the capital departs at 2:20 p.m. and the ticket is 15.80 yuan. Children under 1.2 meters tall are free.
Chen Wang paid for two tickets, both hard seats.
Soft seat tickets are ridiculously expensive, costing more than two hundred yuan each. Even though they now have assets close to two million yuan, they are reluctant to spend so much.
After finding the ticket gate according to the information on the ticket, walk over and find an empty seat to sit down.
There are not many people traveling far these days, and the Spring Festival travel rush has long passed, so there are not many people waiting for the bus around.
"Awang, you seem to be very familiar with how to take the train!"
Lin Xiuqin looked at him with some curiosity.
She had never traveled far before, so it would be difficult for her to take the train alone.
Just now, Chen Wang was in charge of everything, and he seemed very skilled in the whole process.
"No, it's not a big deal. Just follow the process. It's all written on the ticket!"
Chen Wang said with a smile.
"Really? When you go out, you still need to rely on men."
Lin Xiuqin didn't think much about it and looked at him with some admiration.
"Brother, sister-in-law, give it to me!"
The little girl opened a row of Wahaha and gave each of them a bottle.
