No one got on the bus; they stood there, their eyes fixed on the road ahead.
Everyone was waiting for Xiao Moran's car to suddenly stop while driving, because they didn't believe that Xiao Nuan's efforts would really prevent the old lady from getting carsick.
The old lady vomited terribly shortly after leaving the village, and she will definitely vomit again after getting back in the car.
As a result, they didn't see the car stop.
Once Xiao Moran's car disappeared from their sight, they hurriedly got into their own cars.
When they arrived in town, Xiao Moran did not drive into the town through the back road, but instead parked his car on the national highway.
"I didn't expect your method to actually work." Xiao Moran turned around and looked at Su Xiaonuan with a happy expression. "Not only did she not get carsick anymore, but she also slept so soundly that the swaying on the country road didn't disturb her sleep at all."
"Get out of the car and say goodbye to those people!" Su Xiaonuan closed her eyes; she was exhausted from dealing with them.
"Aren't you getting off the bus?" His gaze fell on her face.
His eyes softened involuntarily.
"No, tell them I'm asleep," she said softly with her eyes closed.
"Okay, close your eyes and rest well. I won't let them bother you." Xiao Moran blinked his tender eyes and thought to himself, "My wife worries too much. She has to worry about the villagers, the business, and the family. It's really hard on her."
After saying that, he reached out and took half of the thin blanket that was covering his mother and put it on Xiao Nuan.
Su Xiaonuan sensed it, but she didn't open her eyes. A warm feeling welled up in her heart. When his fingertips accidentally touched the back of her hand, her heart trembled. His fingers were icy cold, like a secluded spring flowing through a mountain stream at night.
Even with her eyes closed, she could feel his focused gaze.
Without opening her eyes, she knew he was looking at her with tender eyes.
The car behind him pulled up, and he reluctantly looked away before opening the door and getting out.
Su Xiaonuan slightly opened her eyes, but his tall figure had already strode away.
The people in the two cars behind got out, clamoring to come and see Zhang Yulan's condition, but Xiao Moran stopped them with his outstretched arms.
"Don't go see her, my mom is asleep, and Xiaonuan is asleep too."
"Did your mom really not get carsick on the way here?" Dingxiang craned her neck to look at the car in front.
This is the question everyone wants to ask.
"Hmm." Xiao Moran nodded. "Xiao Nuan's method worked very well. My mom not only stopped getting carsick, but she also fell asleep peacefully and slept very well. I guess she'll sleep for a long time. Dear leaders and godmothers, we'll take our leave now. If you have the chance to come to the provincial capital in the future, you are welcome to visit my home."
"Then let's go say goodbye to Comrade Su!"
"Yes, I'll go say goodbye to Xiaonuan too!"
"None of you should go!" Xiao Moran said. "Xiao Nuan is too tired and has fallen asleep. Let her get some rest."
"Look at this guy, he's really protective of his wife, blocking us from going over." Gu Xuefeng waved his hand. "Alright, if we don't want to go, we don't want to go. When Comrade Su wakes up, tell her that we will take care of everything she asked for at the dinner table, and we will take care of it as quickly as possible."
"Then on behalf of the villagers of Xiaolong Village, I thank you all, leaders."
"No need for thanks. I'm not doing this for you. Just remember what you promised us."
"I remember, I definitely remember." He waved goodbye and turned to leave.
Even after they had driven far away, they could still see the leaders standing on the roadside watching them go.
The afternoon sunlight streamed in through the car window. Su Xiaonuan squinted slightly, secretly observing the man who was driving attentively. She couldn't see his full face, only his profile and back.
However, the sunlight cast a golden glow on him, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, and with the swaying branches of the trees on both sides of the road, a ripple of light or darkness would rise in the carriage at any moment.
The turmoil, like her heart, stirred up a small ripple.
The more she looked at this man, the more she liked him.
Before she knew it, he had become the man of her dreams...
If Zhang Yulan hadn't woken her up, she would have slept all the way to the provincial capital.
"Ah, where are we?" Zhang Yulan opened her eyes and exclaimed as she looked at the unfamiliar streets outside the car window.
"Mom, you're awake?" Su Xiaonuan opened her eyes and looked around blankly, rubbing her eyes through the car window. "I don't know where I am?"
"Are you still half asleep?" Xiao Moran chuckled. "This is a small town in the suburbs. Once our car passes through the town, we'll soon be entering the provincial capital."
"Huh? So fast? How many hours did we sleep?" Su Xiaonuan said, she was really good at sleeping. She had originally planned to drive for him for two hours, but when she woke up, they were almost there.
“I checked the time. Mom slept for four hours, and you slept for three hours. We’ll be home in half an hour.” Xiao Moran turned the steering wheel with a dashing air. “I was planning to wake you up when we got home, but I didn’t expect you to wake up on your own.”
"I'll be able to see Dou Dou and Guo Guo soon." Zhang Yulan looked excited, her eyes fixed on the scenery outside the car window.
"Mom, don't keep staring out the window, keep your eyes on the road ahead." Su Xiaonuan was worried that her mother would get carsick again, so she put some orange peels that were scattered on the seat under her nostrils. "Just smell this for now."
"No need to smell it anymore." Zhang Yulan took the orange peel she was offered. "I don't feel carsick at all now. I didn't expect your method to work so well. I won't be afraid of carsickness anymore."
When they arrived in the main urban area, they parted ways with Dingxiang and gave her some local specialties and two chickens. Dingxiang refused them, but Zhang Yulan insisted on putting them in her car.
When I drove back to Yaleju, I saw Su Ming digging holes in the yard. He had already dug several large holes, and he was in the holes, lifting up the soil so that Mo Xi could catch it for him.
Little Iron Lock is swinging on the swing with Dou Dou and Guo Guo.
"Dad's car is back!" the two children shouted as they were pushed off the swing set by the iron lock.
Su Ming was worried that the children wouldn't be able to hold on to the swing, so he installed a seat on the swing frame to secure their limbs. He could put them in the seat and they would be fine no matter how much people pushed and swung them from behind.
"Wow, your dad is really amazing. He actually made such a safe and secure swing set," Xiao Moran said. "Now I finally know why you're so smart. You always have all sorts of strange ideas in your head. It turns out you inherited it from your dad. You can tell just by looking at the design of this swing."
"My precious grandsons..." Zhang Yulan couldn't hear or see anything at all; all she could see were her two grandsons. As the car slowed down, she reached out to pull on the car door.
"Mom, it's dangerous!" Su Xiaonuan noticed immediately; otherwise, the old lady would have definitely opened the car door and jumped out.
Seeing her grandson made her so excited that she wanted to get out of the car before it even stopped. Xiao Nuan's exclamation made Zhang Yulan realize what was happening, and she immediately stopped opening the car door. "This is so nerve-wracking! I can't even run over to Dou Dou and Guo Guo."
