Chapter 199 Be careful of human traffickers
Mom and her friends were leaving, and Xia Qingxu was reluctant to let them go. However, all good things must come to an end. The day before Mom and her friends left, Xia Qingxu remembered to take a photo with them.
Last time, she did not let Lu Jingchen take the camera first, thinking that she could take a photo with Mom and her friends as a souvenir. So the afternoon before they left, they found a beautiful place to take a group photo.
Guo Yumei, who had never taken a photo in her life, was very scared at first because she heard others say that taking photos would make her lose her soul. However, seeing that her daughter was so interested, she did not want to spoil her fun. Although she was very scared in her heart, she said nothing and even asked to be the first to take the photo.
Because she wanted to test her children first to see if they really lost their souls. Only after she was sure that they were fine did she let everyone take pictures.
A mother's love is probably like this, heavy and silent, and far beyond our imagination.
Just like Guo Yumei now, even if she knew there might be danger, she was willing to do it to make her children happy. She would even quietly test her children first and let them take pictures after ensuring safety.
These were all Guo Yumei's psychological activities. Xia Qinggui had no idea that she would have these concerns, and she happily took pictures for her.
Guo Yumei was relieved to see that she had not lost her soul.
The family took a lot of photos, wanting to do their best to keep the beauty of this moment.
It is good to look at photos from time to time to comfort the longing even if you can't be with each other.
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxue, who had just finished school, knew that they had taken photos, and she couldn't sit still. She immediately said that she wanted to take photos too.
Xia Qingqing would still satisfy her request for taking photos, which was not excessive. He asked her who she wanted to take photos with, and she immediately said without hesitation:
"I want to take photos with Brother Qingcao."
Xia Qingcao, who was eating watermelon in the yard, looked unnatural. It was not right to refuse, and it was not right not to refuse.
Since he helped Lu Xiaoxue last time, Lu Xiaoxue was like a dog-skin plaster, wishing to stick to him anytime and anywhere.
While he was struggling over whether to take the photo, Lu Xiaoxue had already run to his side, standing behind Xia Qingcao who was eating watermelon, tilting her head and smiling, she said to Xia Qingling:
"Just take the photo, take it quickly, take it quickly..."
Xia Qingling always felt that there was no need to follow the rules when taking photos, and that children should be more casual, so she picked up the camera and took two photos of the two of them.
"When can I get the photos?" Lu Xiaoxue asked immediately after taking the photos.
Seeing that she was so anxious, Xia Qingling deliberately teased her and said:
"It will take at least two months."
"Ah! So long? You are leaving soon, how can you give me the photos?" The smile on Lu Xiaoxue's face disappeared, and she asked nervously.
Seeing her like this, Xia Qingxi couldn't help but laugh, and then said to her:
"As long as you are obedient, don't lose your temper, be kind and polite to others, I will take the troops into consideration, and print out the photos as soon as possible and mail them to you."
Lu Xiaoxue agreed readily, saying that she would do whatever Xia Qingxi said in the future. Xia Qingxi felt relieved after hearing her words. As long as she cared about people and things, it would be a good thing to change her bad habits.
The night before returning, when Xia Qingxi and her mother were lying on the bed chatting, Guo Yumei tactfully told Xia Qingxi that she hoped she could have a child with Lu Xiaoxue, and said that if Xia Qingxi couldn't bring the child over, she could come to the troops to help her.
This time, she didn't want her to have a baby to trap Lu Jingxie, but she felt that the young couple should have a child. A child can not only stabilize the relationship, but also represent hope and continuation.
Xia Qingqing understood that once people get older, they want to have grandchildren as soon as possible. She didn't want to make her mother worry, so she nodded and agreed, and told her that if she had a child, she would ask her to come and help take care of it.
The next day, her mother and the others were going back. Xia Qingqing followed her example and stuffed the money that her mother had secretly stuffed back into her backpack for clothes, and then sent them to the train station.
Before leaving, Xia Qingxiang told her brother to go home and study hard to prepare for the college entrance examination. When she learned that her brother was worried about the foreign language subject, she thought for a moment and said:
When I am settled, I will take him to the army to live with me for two months and learn Russian with Lu Jingxue.
Before Xia Qingcao got on the car, Xia Qingxiang called him. Xia Qingcao reflexively thought that she was going to ask what was in the bag that Lu Xiaoxue stuffed into his hand before going to school in the morning, so she immediately handed it over.
Xia Qingxiang smiled. She didn't want to interfere too much in the secrets between the two children. She pushed the cloth bag back to Xia Qingcao, then whispered in his ear that she had put the money in her mother's backpack, and asked him to remind his mother not to lose it on the way.
Xia Qingcao was a child after all, and was easier to persuade than her mother and brother. After Xia Qingying explained some reasons, she decided to keep the secret for her first, and then tell her mother after the car drove away.
Because he had taken several leave before, Lu Baichuan did not come to see Guo Yumei off when they left. However, before leaving, Lu Baichuan sincerely thanked Guo Yumei, saying that she raised a good daughter and it was an amazing blessing for their family to marry her! Finally,
it was time for the car to start. Xia Qingying stood under the car and waved goodbye to her family. The three mothers and children of the Xia family all stuck their heads out and looked at Xia Qingying reluctantly.
The elder and younger brothers are boys, and they are reluctant to leave, but they will try to restrain themselves. However, mother Guo Yumei's emotions are a little bit overwhelmed, and her eyes are filled with tears.
"Xiao Liu, you have to take care of yourself."
"Mom, you have to take care of yourself."
The mother and daughter said it almost at the same time. In the hearts of your family who cherish you, wealth, reputation, status... are far less important than your health!
The car drove away for a long time before Xia Qingli put down her waving hands. I don't know when, her eyes became wet.
Although there is no regret for parting with Qingcao last time, I am still very sad in my heart.
When leaving, the person who stays behind always seems to feel more sad!
After seeing her mother and the others off, Xia Qingying gathered herself together, walked out of the station, and took the bus home.
As soon as she reached the phone booth, Lu Jingchen called again and told her that the report to accompany the army and the report to apply for a family home had been approved, and she could prepare to leave for the army in the next two days.
Xia Qingying was a little surprised. The last time Lu Jingchen called, she said that it would take at least a week to get the approval, but she didn't expect that it would be done in just five days.
"Go to the neighborhood committee to get a letter of introduction, stamp it, and take the letter of introduction to take the train." Lu Jingchen said on the phone, and then continued:
"It will take three days on the road. The car will arrive at the transfer station on the afternoon of the second day. There will be a car to the garrison area at five o'clock in the morning of the third day. You should find a guesthouse near the train station to stay the next night. You must find a regular one.
"Yes, I remember it." Xia Qingli replied softly.
After a long silence, Lu Jingxie reminded again:
"There are many thieves, scammers, and even traffickers near the train station. You must be careful."
Xia Qingli knew that the Internet had not yet taken off in this era, and criminals were much more rampant than in later generations. However, encountering bad people is a low-probability event after all, so just be on guard and don't worry too much.
