Chapter 124: Send a Banner of Thanks
Huo Jingchen held Xia Mi tightly, and Xia Mi held Xia Jing tightly.
They got on the train only after most of the people who had gotten off had left.
This time, the three of them sat next to each other. Huo Jingchen sat in the middle, Xia Mi was in the aisle, and Xia Jing was at the window, which was convenient for leaning against to sleep.
Xia Mi naturally relied on Huo Jingchen.
When the train passed the next station, the seat opposite Xia Mi and her friends was full of people.
"Comrade, where are you going?"
Nowadays, without mobile phones or tablets, the only way to entertain oneself is to chat. There are not many topics to chat among acquaintances, so many people just start chatting with passers-by.
Sitting opposite were three men who looked like brothers.
"What about you?"
Huo Jingchen did not answer directly, but instead took the initiative to ask them.
"We are Jiacheng."
Huo Jingchen smiled and said, "We are in Suzhou."
"Suzhou is a great place. I heard the textile industry there is doing very well. There is a factory that makes very good fabrics."
As he was talking, the man asked again, "Then why did you come to Qingcheng?"
As the man spoke, his eyes wandered to Xia Mi and Xia Jing, and he asked, "This comrade looks young, are you here to take her back too?"
After these words were spoken, Xia Jing and the other two were confused about what they meant.
Xia Jing asked curiously, "Comrade, what do you mean by this?"
"My second brother and I came to pick up my youngest brother to go back to Suzhou. He was an educated youth before. Isn't this the time for educated youth to return to the city? This kid insisted on staying by the sea. He said he wanted to contract some sea area and learn how to raise fish from others."
With this explanation, everyone thought that Xia Mi was an educated youth, and Xia Jing and Huo Jingchen were there to pick her up.
Huo Jingchen looked at Xia Mi, "Are there any educated youth with such delicate skin and tender flesh?"
The three people on the opposite side finally realized that the educated youth also had to do the work, and Xia Mi should not be an educated youth. Seeing Huo Jingchen defending her like this, they slowly realized the relationship between the two.
Xia Mi curled the corners of her lips and met Huo Jingchen's inquiring eyes.
"These are my niece and nephew-in-law." Xia Jing took the initiative to explain their identities.
"No wonder, no wonder, I said they are such a perfect match." The man who had just said the wrong thing quickly changed his words.
When meeting her fellow villagers, Xia Jing felt like a fellow villager meeting a fellow villager. Her eyes were filled with tears and she began to chat about Suzhou with the three people opposite her.
After chatting more, both sides soon became familiar with each other.
Except for the first two stops, the train continued running all the way to the next day, from day to night and then back to day.
Xia Mi couldn't sit still, so she stood up and pounded her sore waist and back.
It's really painful to sit still for so long.
Huo Jingchen was leaning back to rest, and when he noticed the seat next to him was empty, he immediately opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?" He had just woken up, his voice was low and hoarse, and he looked at Xia Mi with concern, "Is your waist uncomfortable?"
Xia Mi hummed, "I'll just stand there for a while."
"Shall I rub it for you?"
Xia Mi hesitated for a moment, then looked at the three people opposite her. Seeing that everyone was still asleep, including her aunt, she nodded.
Huo Jingchen placed his hands on Xia Mi's waist, applying slight force with his fingertips.
Suddenly, a man rushed into the carriage and ran wildly in the carriage, shouting, "Get out of the way!"
The opponent was moving very fast, and Xia Mi was sitting in the third row of the car. When she saw that she was about to be hit, a strong force from her waist pulled her back.
Xia Mi fell into Huo Jingchen's arms, and everyone else was awakened by the shouting.
"Catch the thief, the man in front is a thief!"
The person whose money was stolen chased after him.
The three people opposite saw Xia Mi sitting in Huo Jingchen's arms and turned their heads sensibly. Xia Jing opened her eyes and took a look, then saw this scene and quickly closed her eyes again.
"Wait a minute, I'll come over."
Huo Jingchen stood up and picked up Xia Mi. He bent down and put her on the seat. After saying hello, he ran quickly towards the place where the two disappeared.
"Comrade, is your husband so brave? I heard that people who steal things nowadays all carry weapons."
The three of them stood up, stretched their necks to watch the fun, and no one dared to go over.
Xia Mi looked worriedly in the direction where Huo Jingchen left.
Xia Jing patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Jingchen has practiced before, so it won't be a problem for him to deal with one person."
Xia Mi nodded, frowned slightly, looked in the direction where Huo Jingchen disappeared, and waited patiently for someone to come back.
More than ten minutes later, Huo Jingchen came back from another carriage. His neat clothes were wrinkled, showing obvious signs of a fight.
Xia Mi left her seat and walked forward to ask with concern, "How's it going? Did you catch it?"
“Got it.”
Huo Jingchen gave her a reassuring look in return, "After so many years of training, if we can't even catch a thief, it would be embarrassing if this matter got out."
Xia Mi raised her hand to straighten the wrinkles of his clothes and brushed off the dust on his body. "It seems that your training was not in vain."
After walking two steps, someone called out from behind. It was Huo Jingchen, "Comrade, the man in front of you, please wait a moment."
Huo Jingchen and Xia Mi stood there waiting for that person.
"Comrade, thank you so much for helping me get my wallet back. This is a small token of my appreciation."
As the man spoke, he took out a big unity banknote from his wallet, which contained several other banknotes. He seemed to be a powerful man as he could carry so much money with him.
"I can't accept this. I'm a soldier and it's my duty to help the people. It's against the rules to take money."
Huo Jingchen refused righteously.
The man paused for a moment before realizing what was happening. He took the money and apologized, "I'm sorry, comrade. I didn't know you were a soldier."
"How about this, tell me your unit and I'll make a silk banner for you and send it to your unit, okay?"
Xia Mi's eyes lit up with surprise. A banner? ! "No need. This is what I should do. If you really don't know how to thank me, just keep your valuables away and don't do anything like what you did just now."
Huo Jingchen looked at his wallet and said, "Comrade, don't show off your wealth. I suggest you put your certificates and other things in your bag and keep the rest separate."
The wallet was wide open, and the eyes of people around were focused on the man's hand.
Huo Jingchen was really worried. Maybe the man wouldn't even get off the bus and would have to trouble other police officers to help him get his wallet back.
The man quickly stuffed the big unity in his hand into his bag, then closed his wallet and held it tightly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on it this time."
The moment the words fell, the broadcast sounded, "Dear passengers, the next stop is Suzhou City. Those who want to get off, please be ready."
The sweet voice of the announcer sounded, and those who wanted to get off the car in the workshop stood up and took the luggage from the shelf.
"Then I'll go back and get my luggage. I've arrived at my stop. Anyway, I really want to thank you comrade today."
The man thanked her hurriedly, then turned around to get his luggage. It seemed that he was also getting off in Suzhou.
"Let's go, it will be crowded later."
Xia Mi walked a few steps back to her seat.
Huo Jingchen raised his hand to take the things off the shelf and placed them at his feet so that he could take them away directly when the train arrived.
Ten minutes later, the announcer's voice came on the radio again.
"Dear passengers, Suzhou City has arrived. Please queue up in an orderly manner and check your valuables before getting off the train..."
The train slowed down until it stopped at the platform.
When the train slowed down, some people had already started lining up at the door, and Xia Mi and the others were also in the queue.
