Chapter 100: Finally my wife is back
Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
After the educated youth returned to the city, people like my aunt returned to the city. As long as my aunt wanted, it was only a matter of time before she returned to Suzhou.
"I just want to go back and take a look, nothing else."
"Aunt, that's your home too. If you want to go back in the future, you can go back anytime."
Xia Jing withdrew her gaze, looked at the road beneath her feet, and spoke in a low voice.
"A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. Where is my home?"
Her eldest brother Xia Jinkuo once said this to her. At that time, she went to ask her eldest brother for help in finding some connections. She didn't want to go so far and wanted to stay in Suzhou or Jiangxi Province first.
After the eldest brother said this, Xia Jing understood.
Since then, the relationship between the brother and sister has completely cracked.
During all these years on the farm, the eldest brother and the younger brother never wrote a single letter to me, and the family relationship that had already begun to crack had long since been severed.
She just wanted to go back to Suzhou for a visit.
"Then I'll go to the patient's home first." Xia Jing faced reality and walked forward with the medicine box. -The day Xia Mi saw her aunt again was the morning she left the village.
The second aunt and uncle were busy saying goodbye, so Xia Mi spent the day with Yaya at the Shi family alone.
It was still dark outside, and everything was grey.
Lian Jinhua didn't know why, but she was willing to turn on the lights these two days.
Xia Mi's room was facing the kitchen, and the thin curtains had no effect of blocking out the light. Once the light was turned on, Xia Mi's room also became bright.
She had packed all her things the night before, and after a quick wash she went to help in the kitchen.
I have been eating noodles with gravy for three days in a row.
The braised sauce is different every day. Today’s is tomato and egg braised sauce.
Lian Jinhua was willing to add oil and poured the egg liquid into the pan. It solidified in a few seconds. She then used a spatula to break up the eggs, fried them and set them aside, then added the chopped tomatoes.
If you add salt when frying tomatoes, they will become sandy and become soft quickly.
Pour in the eggs when almost done, and finally pour in the prepared starch water to thicken, stir fry for a few times, and serve the tomato and egg stew.
The noodles are prepared in advance, and when the time is right, they are ready to cook.
Just as I put the noodles into the pot, there was a knock on the door.
Xia Mi put down the fire tongs and said, "Aunt, I'll go open the door."
My aunt and uncle packed up their things, carried the luggage and took Yaya to meet up at Shi’s house first.
"Doctor Xia and Teacher He are here. Come and eat the noodles. They will be ready soon."
Xia Jing followed Xia Mi into the kitchen, "Excuse me, Aunt Jin."
Yaya was still asleep. After getting Xia Mi's consent, He Yuntang first put the child in the guest room where Xia Mi slept, then put the things in the kitchen, and then went to the kitchen to help.
The kitchen suddenly became lively.
Before he could finish his words, there was another knock on the door. This time it was He Yuntang who was standing at the door and went to open it.
He Yuntang opened the door and saw that it was a fellow villager he knew.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Aunt Shi took out four still-hot eggs from her pocket and said, "I heard that you and Dr. Xia were leaving, so I got up early in the morning and cooked something for you to eat on the road, and here's some."
"I heard that children still eat this candy now."
Aunt Shi opened the bag, which contained loose Yaya milk candies and fruit candies.
After seeing the item, He Yuntang quickly refused, "This item is too valuable. We can't accept it."
"What's so valuable about this? Take it quickly. My father's life was saved by your wife."
He Yuntang still shook his head, "This is what we should do, Auntie, you should take the things back."
"Who's here?" Lian Jinhua saw that no one had come in yet.
Aunt Shi pushed open the door and walked into the yard. "Sister, it's me. I'm here to bring something to Doctor Xia so that they won't be hungry on the road."
"Just accept it. It's the kind-hearted gift from our fellow villagers." Lian Jinhua stirred the noodles in the pot while persuading them.
Just as he finished speaking, another guest came in through the open door.
The people who came in used the same rhetoric.
"Teacher He, I heard that you were leaving. Why... Shi Yinhua, are you here too?"
"Speaking of me, don't I have the same purpose as you?" Shi Yinhua laughed and walked over to look at the things in the people's hands. "I bought so many glutinous rice cakes. Can I eat them all on the way?"
More and more people came to deliver things.
When Shi Daqiang got up, he saw the yard full of relatives. He thought they were there to see him off, but it turned out that all the aunts and uncles were surrounding He Yuntang and Xia Jing.
The gifts were all gifts from the villagers. Due to too many obstacles, Xia Jing and He Yuntang accepted a little of each.
The rest were taken back.
During breakfast time, it was completely bright outside, and the morning sunlight was just right for people.
After saying goodbye to their fellow villagers and families, the five of them took a bus to the train station and bought tickets back to Qingcheng in the afternoon.
Shi Daqiang calculated that he could still catch the last boat back to the island when he arrived in Qingcheng in the afternoon.
After getting off the train, Xia Jing and He Yuntang walked side by side. He held the child in one hand and held Xia Jing's hand with the other, with a backpack on his back.
Xia Mi and Shi Daqiang walked in front.
When they were about to leave the platform, a voice came from the crowd, "Sister-in-law!"
Xia Mi didn't turn around after hearing the word "sister-in-law". Zhang Erqiao shouted again, "Da Qiang!"
Shi Daqiang was so focused on the road and the platform was so noisy that he couldn't hear the sound at all.
Zhang Erqiao was extremely anxious, but he couldn't leave at the moment, so he could only watch his sister-in-law and brother leave together.
"Why are there so many navy guarding the train station? Has something happened?"
There were sailors standing on the platform just now. Now when I exited the station, I found that there were also sailors in white uniforms guarding the door.
Shi Daqiang also noticed it, but these were just brothers that he was familiar with but didn't know.
Besides, they were still on guard and we couldn't just go up and ask.
"It's probably because human traffickers have been too rampant recently," Shi Daqiang explained.
Before getting off the car, Xia Mi was a little worried, afraid that she would encounter the same situation as the previous two times, which had already left a trauma on her.
Fortunately, when she got off the train, she immediately noticed the white spot on the platform, and she felt much more at ease.
"Let's get out of the station first. It looks a bit cloudy outside."
Shi Daqiang also noticed the weather outside. It was sunny when he was on the platform, but it became cloudy in a short while.
"Captain Huo, my sister-in-law and the others are over there."
The main reason was that Shi Daqiang's navy uniform was very conspicuous, and when he saw his sister-in-law following him, Huo Jingchen's men hurried to report.
You know, he has been here since one o'clock in the afternoon and has been standing here until now!
I waited and waited, and finally my sister-in-law came back.
"Go and drive the car over here." Huo Jingchen looked a little stunned when he saw the person, and even his tone of voice softened.
"I'll go right away." After standing in military posture for an entire afternoon, I was finally able to move around and touch the car.
Shi Daqiang was the first person to discover Huo Jingchen.
"Sister-in-law, look." Shi Daqiang couldn't hide the truth, and the moment he saw Huo Jingchen, he told Xia Mi.
Huo Jingchen was also wearing a uniform today, with broad shoulders and long legs. The uniform perfectly modified his body lines to be neat and clean.
When people approached, Shi Daqiang straightened up and saluted towards Huo Jingchen.
"Hello, Captain Huo."
Huo Jingchen nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's all my job, and I can only go home because of my sister-in-law."
Shi Daqiang was touched. He didn't expect that Captain Huo would care about him first before his sister-in-law and family.
The person who was still feeling moved was heartbroken by Huo Jingchen the next second.
"Please move aside. You are blocking my wife and uncle."
