She carefully climbed onto the tractor's cabin and found a relatively comfortable seat. Wang Xiaolin followed closely behind her, standing outside the cabin, still looking at Wang Xiaolan with lingering interest.
Accompanied by the thunderous "thump thump" sound of the tractor, the huge and bulky machine finally began to move slowly.
The wheels turned slowly, stirring up pieces of dry dirt and dust, forming clouds of dust. These dust particles danced freely in the air like a group of naughty elves, and quickly pounced on the people who were seeing them off.
However, those who came to see them off did not retreat or hide because of the dust. They stood still and followed the tractor as it drove away.
About an hour later, the tractor finally arrived at the bus station in the county town.
It is bustling with people coming and going, and various sounds intertwine to form a unique city symphony.
Cheng Gang jumped out of the car first, then reached out to help Wang Xiaolan and Yu Wenlin out of the car. Then he carried the two little babies out of the car as well.
As soon as they got off the bus, a shrill car horn suddenly sounded, covering up the noisy hawking and clamoring.
Immediately afterwards, the even louder sound of the tweeters joined the noisy ensemble.
Following the sound, I saw a conspicuous propaganda vehicle slowly approaching from a distance. On each side of the vehicle hung a banner with slogans like "Resolutely crack down on bad elements that undermine stability and unity, and maintain social stability."
At this time, the crowd watching said, "The parade has begun. The verdict has been issued and is posted at the station gate."
At this time, a short, unassuming vendor came in. He fiddled with his wares and chatted with passersby.
"Hey! Isn't that strange? I've been hanging around this station for most of the day, and even those pickpockets who usually frequent this place are nowhere to be seen. Could it be that they also know about what happened today? Have they all gone into hiding?"
After saying this, he did not forget to look around vigilantly, as if he was worried that the pickpockets would suddenly jump out from a corner.
When the passerby heard this, he nodded repeatedly, indicating that he agreed with the vendor's opinion.
In the cargo bed of the propaganda vehicle, several people were standing upright.
Wang Xiaolan raised her head and cast her gaze towards the propaganda vehicle not far away. She saw several people standing in the vehicle bed, each of them with a huge sign hanging on their chest, which was deeply engraved with the numerous crimes they had committed.
Among these people, some kept their heads down, as if they had no courage to look directly at the crowd around them, to avoid their contemptuous gazes and accusations.
Others, on the other hand, were the complete opposite. They held their heads high, acting nonchalant and unconcerned, even with the corners of their mouths slightly raised, revealing an elusive smile. This smile seemed both a self-mockery of their own crimes and a provocation to the world at large, which made one feel infuriated.
Just then, Wang Xiaolan spotted several familiar figures. Upon closer inspection, she discovered Zhang An, sentenced to 20 years in prison for theft, hooliganism, and affray. Zhang Youguang, sentenced to 10 years for bribery, hooliganism, and other crimes. Shi Bulian, sentenced to death with a one-year reprieve for intentional homicide and hooliganism.
The crowd of onlookers followed behind the truck and threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs into it. The victim's family members even carried shovels and threatened to beat the people in the truck.
The scene was a bit chaotic. Wang Xiaolan was worried about the safety of the two children and Yu Wenlin, so she protected them into the bus station.
The moment they stepped into the waiting room, the sight before them stunned her! It was a sea of people, incredibly crowded, even more bustling than outside. People were shoulder to shoulder, as if every inch of space was filled. Even finding a place to stand was a luxury.
Wang Xiaolan had no choice but to look for Zhao Lihan's comrade's wife. After a long search, she finally found her busy in the crowd.
With the enthusiastic assistance of Zhao Lihan's comrade's wife, the family successfully entered the bus that was quietly waiting for departure. Sitting in the comfortable seat, Wang Xiaolan secretly felt fortunate. If it weren't for such a kind and helpful friend, she and her family would probably have to continue waiting in this chaotic waiting room.
provincial capital.
Wang Xiaolan held her children by her left hand and Yu Wenlin by her right, and the three of them walked into the Guoan family compound, chatting and laughing. Along the way, the children excitedly recounted interesting stories from their trip, while Wang Xiaolan listened with a smile, occasionally exchanging warm glances with Yu Wenlin.
Finally arriving home, the three of them were exhausted, but in an exceptionally happy mood. They had just put their luggage on the ground and were about to sit down to rest for a while, drinking some water, when a rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Who is it?" Wang Xiaolan asked puzzledly.
"It's me, your Aunt Tian, Xiaolan! Open the door quickly!" The familiar voice of Aunt Tian came from outside the door.
Yu Wenlin, in the bedroom, changed his clothes and came out, saying, "Nannan is Aunt Tian."
Wang Xiaolan said, "Mom, I know. I'll go open the door right away."
As he spoke, he walked towards the door, thinking: This Aunt Tian, when we entered the courtyard, no one was in the courtyard. How did she know we were back?
Wang Xiaolan turned the doorknob, and just as she opened the door a crack, a figure flashed into the room as fast as the wind.
Auntie Tian came in! Her face was full of smiles, as bright and dazzling as a flower blooming in spring.
As soon as Auntie Tian entered the house, her eyes were immediately drawn to Dabao and Xiaobao squatting on the ground playing. She quickly walked over to the children, bent down, and greeted them warmly: "Hey, my little darlings! What are you playing with?"
However, Dabao and Xiaobao were completely lost in their own world. They were completely absorbed in meticulously putting together their toys, seemingly oblivious to the outside world. The two little ones didn't react to Aunt Tian's warm greetings, remaining absorbed in fiddling with the colorful building blocks.
Yu Wenlin, seeing that the two little guys didn't react, smiled and said, "Dabao, Xiaobao, quickly call Grandma Tian."
At this time, Dabao and Xiaobao heard Yu Wenlin's reminder and immediately raised their heads and said in a baby voice, "Hello, Grandma Tian."
After greeting each other, the two boys lowered their heads and played with the toys in their hands.
Auntie Tian said, "Oh, you're finally back! Didn't you say you'd be gone for two days? How come you've been gone for so long? You don't know how tiring it has been for me to wait for you. I have something to tell you."
