The car sped along, and they parted ways at the county train station.
The two cars set off simultaneously, heading towards Beijing.
The distance from Shanghai to Beijing is not short. There is currently no expressway, so you need to take the local road. The entire journey is 1347.76 kilometers.
Of course, this exact number is based on the travel guides she found when she went on a road trip in her previous life. As for this life, there are undeveloped areas that require detours, plus some other factors, so it might be more than 1,300, maybe even 1,500?
All of them could drive, so they took turns and it took them two days to reach Beijing.
Working without sleep or rest, it would actually only take fifteen hours to get there.
But the old man's body couldn't hold up, and with the need for rest and reorganization, as well as refueling the car, by the time they arrived, it was already the third day.
They all looked travel-worn and exhausted.
Xia Anyan's back was particularly bad; the day before was her wedding night, and she set off the next day.
She hasn't had a proper rest, and her body simply can't take it.
"Wife, are you alright?" Gu Shen was extremely worried about her.
He pulled Xia Anyan along and looked her up and down. Seeing the weariness between her brows and the hand that kept touching her waist, he felt even more sorry for her.
"Honey, let's go to the guesthouse to check in first, then I'll go to the state-run restaurant to buy food. There's no rush to go to the hospital."
Although the old man has been very tired these past two days, he seems to be in good spirits. Even if we don't go to the hospital right away, he'll be fine.
Xia Anyan really couldn't take it anymore, so she didn't refuse and went to the guesthouse with them.
The guesthouses here are quite strict; they verify the identity of every guest before arranging their stay.
From the outside, the guesthouse here looks quite different from the tenement buildings in their area.
The style here is Suzhou style, with several buildings connected together. Although the room layout is similar to that of their area, it is drier here, and the wall plaster is still relatively well preserved.
Of course, the most important thing is the rooms here, which are of a much higher standard.
Besides the simplest bed and table, it even has a thermos, a tea mug, and tea leaves.
Of course, Xia Anyan felt that the reason for all this was because Gu Shen had spent money.
She heard it clearly; Gu Shen had requested a room with better conditions.
"Honey, you go and rest, I'll go buy some food."
Xia Anyan called out to them, "Take all these lunchboxes with you. Everyone must be tired from the journey. Buy more."
“Take these money and tickets, buy more meat and vegetables, and give Uncle Zhang and the driver some to replenish their energy. These two haven’t dared to rest along the way, taking care of Grandpa every day. They’ve worked so hard.”
Gu Shen didn't want to accept it, since he still had the money and tickets.
Xia Anyan gave it to him when he left home, saying it would be convenient for buying things on the way.
He hadn't even finished spending it all when his wife gave him more.
It's said that married men shouldn't keep money in their pockets, but he has quite a bit of cash in his pocket right now, which he plans to return to his wife later.
"Hey, just take it, stop dawdling." Xia Anyan stuffed it into his pocket without saying a word.
Then, she struggled to move to the bedside.
Seeing her lying there, posing herself in the shape of a 'big' character, Gu Shen couldn't help but find it amusing.
He moved quietly, and when he left, he walked lightly, so as not to disturb others.
It was lunchtime, so it took him quite a while to get there. When he came back, someone had stepped on his foot, leaving a footprint.
His clothes were also a bit wrinkled.
Looking at that face, I have no idea what she's been through.
"Son, what... what is this..." Gu's mother was dumbfounded as she looked at her son's dark face.
Who is this amazing person who managed to give even his son...?
"It's okay, this is food for you and Dad."
After saying that, he turned and walked away without stopping at all.
After that, he went to the old man's room and Lao Zhang's room, and finally returned to his and Xia Anyan's room.
When he returned, Xia Anyan was already asleep, lying there without moving.
Gu Shen approached and squatted down beside the bed.
Looking at Xia Anyan's long eyelashes, he couldn't help but want to touch them.
Itchy hands.
He touched it, then regretted it.
Xia Anyan felt her eyes were a little itchy, so she tried to open them and then saw a handsome face in front of her.
She spoke softly, "You're back."
Gu Shen was completely charmed, and felt his nose getting hot.
Xia Anyan suddenly sat up in bed: "Are you alright?"
Gu Shen was also startled and hadn't reacted yet.
"Wh...what happened?" As she spoke, blood dripped from her nose onto the ground.
He froze on the spot, opening his mouth several times as if to say something, but was stopped by the drops of red in front of him.
He ran towards the restroom, but Xia Anyan stopped him.
"Don't move, lift your head up and flatten it."
"Yes, I'll go get you some toilet paper. You sit here and don't move."
The weather is so dry; even a perfectly healthy person got a nosebleed.
She didn't think about it any other way.
As for Gu Shen, he certainly wouldn't tell her.
It took the two of them about ten minutes to finally stop the nosebleed.
Gu Shen looked disheveled, with a wad of paper stuffed in one of his nostrils, making him look incredibly funny.
"It's nothing, it must be because the weather is too dry here. Drink more water after you finish eating."
Gu Shen did not refute.
The main problem is that it's not easy to refute anything.
He kept his head down the whole time, not daring to meet Xia Anyan's gaze.
"Don't just focus on eating rice, eat some meat too."
"By the way, you should eat more vegetables too. I tried this pickled cabbage, it's sour and spicy, very appetizing. You should try it too."
Xia Anyan served him food while talking to him.
Gu Shen sighed.
It's good that my wife is simple-minded!
They spent the afternoon making repairs, and only the next morning did they prepare to take the old man to the hospital.
In Beijing today, there are many people coming and going, and you need to register to see a doctor.
Fortunately, Gu Shen had acquaintances here who had already made arrangements, so they could just go directly there.
As soon as I arrived at the scene, an old woman blocked my way.
"What are you doing here?" The old woman stared intently at them with her triangular eyes, as if she wanted to see right through them.
Xia Anyan disliked such looks and tried to pull the old man away, but was stopped again.
"What are you doing? You're late and you want to cut in line? Let me tell you, as long as I, Tie Sanfeng, am here, nobody can cut in line!"
After saying that, he puffed out his chest and deliberately moved closer to Grandpa Xia and Uncle Zhang.
She is a woman, no matter how old she is. If these men dare to touch her, it is a crime.
snort!
