For the next few days, Yan Zi brought her children to the house to keep warm, and Ren Jingxiao always hung around the two children.
Sometimes when Yan Zi didn't come, Ren Jingxiao would urge Ningxia to call for help. He could now hold the child and swing around, and the child was no longer afraid of him.
Erni has been very happy recently. She followed Yan Zi and watched Ningxia cook.
Although she felt embarrassed to eat here, she did learn a lot of things, but she didn't have any money to spend.
She thought that when she became successful, she would cook like Ningxia, using as much oil as she wanted, having both meat and vegetables for every meal, and not having to worry about what to eat next.
"Xia Xia, let's go to the provincial capital tomorrow and visit our third uncle together." At night, Ren Jingxiao couldn't sleep in the room while holding Ning Xia.
Xia Xia's belly got bigger, so he didn't dare to do anything rash anymore and canceled the activity that was held every three days.
He wasn't used to not having to go to work these days. Now he could take care of the two children of the Ma family, and his confidence was back.
He felt that there would be no problem waiting for his child to be born. The Chinese New Year was approaching, and it would be too late if he didn't go to the provincial capital.
"Okay, let's go tomorrow. Let's bring some meat with us." Ningxia thought that meat was in short supply right now, and wondered how the situation was at his third uncle's house.
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's go to sleep first!" Ren Jingxiao hugged Ningxia and coaxed the baby in her belly into sleep.
Ningxia woke up early, thinking about something in her mind. She was thinking about what to bring as a guest.
Looking at the things in the space, besides meat, there were also some canned food. She thought that her third uncle's family probably had everything they needed, but what they brought was also a token of their appreciation.
"Let's take the bus after dinner. We should be there by dark." Ningxia urged Ren Jingxiao to hurry up.
Ren Jingxiao had been to the provincial capital before, so he knew how long the trip would take. Even if he didn't stop all the way, it would take until the afternoon to get there.
Besides, a bus this big would probably not arrive until evening.
When Ren Jingxiao and Ningxia arrived at the bus station, there were already quite a few people on the bus.
Ren Jingxiao held the things in one hand and helped Ningxia get on the bus with the other hand. Once they got on the bus, not only were there no seats, but even the aisle was full of people.
"Don't push at the back, there are no seats left, wait until tomorrow!" Ningxia had just stood firm when the ticket seller stopped the people at the back from getting on, as there was really no room left in the car.
"Let us go up, we have urgent matters to attend to in the provincial capital!" There were still a few people downstairs who were clinging to the door.
"You have an urgent matter, why don't you come earlier? This bus is full." There is only one bus to the provincial capital a day. If you miss it, you can only wait until tomorrow.
Ningxia is thinking about the Spring Festival travel rush in the future, when by the end of the year there will be crowds of people everywhere.
"Xia Xia, lean on me." Ren Jingxiao saw that there were too many people here and everyone around him had things in their hands. He held the things in one hand and protected Ningxia with the other.
Ningxia was also afraid of getting a stomachache. They got up very early, but without experience they couldn't even get a spot.
Ningxia and Ren Jingxiao stood face to face, and Ren Jingxiao held her in his arms.
When the car started moving, it was shaking. Ren Jingxiao steadied himself and did not move, but the people around him were bumped into by the car because they did not stand firmly.
"No, Xia Xia, how about we not go?" Ren Jingxiao thought that Xia Xia would definitely not be able to bear standing like this all the way.
"It's okay. I've already come up. I'm tired of standing, so I'll lean on you to rest for a while." Ningxia felt that she hadn't done any work, but she couldn't stand just standing. She was not so pampered.
Ren Jingxiao saw that the car had already started moving. As there were too many people on the car, it was not convenient for them to get off. He could only support Ningxia and was worried all the way.
"Young man, why don't you let your wife squeeze in with us?" An old lady who had been sitting next to them said kindly when she saw Ningxia's big belly.
"Why are you squeezing? Our seats are not big." Before Ningxia could say anything, a younger woman sitting next to her pulled the old lady in dissatisfaction.
"No need, I'll just stand." Ningxia hadn't planned to sit down, as this seat wasn't as spacious as the ones in later generations.
I've taken Ningxia's train a few times and I feel like it only has room for one person. If you're a bit overweight, there won't be enough space.
The old lady smiled embarrassedly, and the woman inside snorted and looked at Ningxia with a bad expression.
"Mom, I'm never going to come to this damn place again. I really don't know what my cousin was thinking to marry here. I used to think she was from Shanghai and would be better than me even if she closed her eyes, but I didn't expect her to be so stupid and choose to live in a county town down here."
The woman inside became even more annoyed when she saw so many people on the bus.
"What do you know? What's wrong with the family your cousin chose? They're relaxed and the men are good-looking. Your cousin has been in charge since she came in. She doesn't have to do anything at home. Her sister-in-law takes care of everything. If you ask me, your cousin is smart."
The old lady was worried when she saw her daughter. She was so old but still couldn't find a suitable partner. She was so picky about this and that.
No matter how good her own child is, she cannot lie with her eyes open. She is just ordinary in appearance and family background, but she has a big heart.
She said it many times, but she just wouldn't listen. She was doing it for her own good, but she didn't take it seriously at all.
"That's great? What's her life like in Shanghai? Not only is she shivering in the cold here, but her family keeps urging her to have a baby."
As the two people were talking, Ningxia always felt that she knew the person they were talking about. It seemed to be Xu Jiao, but it didn't seem like such a coincidence.
"Shanghai is fine? You know your cousin is not very good-looking, and it's not easy to find a family like her in Shanghai. The same goes for you. Although your family is from the provincial capital, as long as the man has good character and comes from a good family, your father and I won't be picky about the place."
The old lady looked at her daughter and continued talking, but the woman inside, no, it should be said that the girl didn't listen at all, and simply closed her eyes and ignored her.
Ningxia looked at the man's face and felt that people nowadays seemed to look quite old. At least she hadn't seen many who looked younger than their actual age.
"Xia Xia, are you tired? I'll squat down and you sit on my lap!" Ningxia felt very safe snuggling in Ren Jingxiao's arms.
Ren Jingxiao wouldn't let anyone around her get close to her, let alone get close enough.
The others didn't dare to lose their temper with Ren Jingxiao, especially since he was standing here with his head almost touching the roof of the car.
That, coupled with his ferocious look, made the world seem a lot more spacious.
"No need, it's still far away. I'm not tired of standing." Ningxia didn't feel tired, but Ren Jingxiao was afraid that she was tired and didn't say anything.
He looked towards the driver's side. He wanted to find a seat for Xia Xia, even if it cost more.
