To get to the city, you have to take a bus to the county seat first, and then transfer to another bus to the city. There's no highway to take you there, so a round trip would take at least four hours, and you wouldn't be able to get back on the same day unless you have your own car.
Yan Xin felt dizzy and short of breath from the swaying of the dilapidated bus. After finally getting off the bus, she leaned against the wall in the corner of the station and vomited violently.
"Ugh...ugh..." She felt like she was going to vomit bile. She never wanted to ride in a car again. What kind of goods were they buying? This was going to kill her.
"Have a sip of water, and apply this to your temples. You can also put some on your nose and navel." Lin Xiazhu handed over a bottle of mineral water and a small bottle of green liquid.
"...What is this?" Yan Xin asked, looking at the words on the small bottle after drinking the water.
Fengyoujing (a type of medicated oil)?
"It's just menthol balm, it's refreshing. Be careful not to put too much on your nose, or it will sting." Actually, Lin Xiazhu was also feeling dizzy. In her previous life, she suffered from severe motion sickness and would vomit every time she rode in a car.
This time it was much better. She didn't get carsick when she took the bus to the county town before. She heard that this was also related to her physical condition. After being reborn, Lin Xiazhu paid close attention to nutrition, so she was healthy and didn't get carsick much anymore.
After applying the medicated oil, Yan Xin felt much better. "This stuff is quite effective, but the smell isn't very pleasant."
"It smells great to me, a must-have for motion sickness." In her previous life, Tiger Balm was an essential item for Lin Xiazhu when traveling by car, so much so that she habitually bought a bottle and put it in her pocket before getting on a car.
"I never get carsick, but that bus was just too dilapidated. It should have been totaled. Even a snail could run faster than it. No way, I'm not coming here again. It's killing me." Yan Xin complained frantically, her face pale and bloodless.
Seeing that she was walking unsteadily, Lin Xiazhu was afraid that she would faint, so she said, "Let's find a hotel to stay in first, and then go out to stroll around the night market later."
Yan Xin nodded listlessly; all she wanted to do right now was sleep.
Evening, Shanhe Town.
Lin Chacha brought a bowl of pork rib soup, a bowl of stir-fried vegetables and meat, and a bowl of rice upstairs, and said with a smile, "Xiao An, dinner is ready."
"Cha Cha, is your sister not coming back today?" Xiao An looked at the sky outside the window as it gradually darkened, her clear eyes filled with confusion, her voice somewhat ethereal, as if she were asking someone else, or as if she were muttering to herself.
"Didn't my sister say before she left that she wouldn't be back until tomorrow?" Lin Chacha patiently stayed with Xiao An.
"Mmm." Xiao An turned around and started eating. Actually, he knew that Xiao Zhu wouldn't be back until tomorrow, but he just missed her a little.
After taking a sip of soup, as if remembering something, Xiao An blinked her long eyelashes and asked gently, "Has Cha Cha eaten yet?"
"We've already eaten. There's still a big bowl of pork rib soup in the kitchen. If we get hungry later, we can have it as a snack." Lin Chacha patted her tummy, looking very satisfied.
She's happy to have meat to eat every day, and she can go to school in the future. But she's a little worried because her older sister has recently started making her learn to write and do arithmetic, which is really giving her a headache. She doesn't seem to be cut out for studying.
The thought of having to write another page of words and math problems made Cha Cha unhappy. She was so distressed and wanted to climb over the wall and go to someone's shop on the street to watch TV. There was only one shop in the whole town with a TV, the one that sold snow cream.
Later, Xiao An took pity on her and taught her arithmetic problems. Moreover, Xiao An's method helped Cha Cha learn quickly, and she was able to do arithmetic problems independently.
"Xiao An, you're so amazing," Lin Chacha said, her eyes filled with admiration. "Xiao An, have you ever been to school before?"
He attended school when his adoptive parents were still alive. He started first grade at the age of five because both of his adoptive parents were elementary school teachers, and his adoptive mother taught first grade. To make it easier for her to take care of him, she put him in first grade when he was only five years old.
Thinking that he could just repeat first grade for two more years, he never expected to be the top student in the whole grade in every exam. So he started second grade at the age of six, and he was still the top student in every exam.
And then that was it. His adoptive parents died in an accident, and he never returned to school...
"I forgot," Xiao An said lightly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Xiao An, I forgot, you forgot. Don't be sad. You're so amazing. When your older sister comes back, I'll talk to her and ask her to let you go to school with us." Lin Chacha held Xiao An's hand and made a solemn promise.
Xiao An subtly withdrew his hand and secretly wiped it on the bed sheet. He didn't mean to be disgusted by Lin Chacha; he was just not used to being in contact with people.
real.
At this time, Xiao An was unaware that she had obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness.
Lin Xiaoxue only dared to eavesdrop outside and didn't dare to enter Xiao An's room. Her face turned pale and her legs trembled when she thought about what happened during the day.
With her older sister away, Lin Xiaoxue was like a wild horse, uncontrollable by anyone. At noon, while Lin Chacha was taking Lin Taozi for a nap, she ran into Xiao An's room, intending to bully him.
"You little bastard, you jerk, you'd better get out of our house right now, or I won't be polite to you." After yelling a few words, she reached for a plate of grapes on the bedside table. These were bought with their family's money, why should they give them to outsiders?
But as soon as she reached out, Xiao An grabbed her hand. He held her hand with his left hand and tapped her arm twice with his right hand. Then half of her body became immobile, and she fell straight onto the floor.
She wanted to scream but couldn't. The culprit didn't even glance at her, staring coldly out the window, casually wiping the sheets with his hands as if she were some disgusting filth.
She also heard Xiao An say slowly, "The sheets are dirty too, they should be washed."
Lin Xiaoxue felt like she had almost run out of tears after a long time, when Xiao An, who had an angelic face but a devilish nature, finally leaned down and tapped her twice more.
