Chapter 57: Not showing off (Page 1/2)

After Uncle Han Jiu and Han Shimin left, Jiang Qian said to Han Shiguo, "Did Uncle Jiu ever join the army and fight against the Japanese? I heard from my aunt."

"Yes." Han Shiguo nodded. "Uncle Jiu has made great contributions in the past. He just has a limp due to a leg injury and can't read. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in the village now."

Uncle Han Jiu and Jiang Xiaogu's father-in-law, Captain Han, are from the same family, but if you count further back, they, Han's father and the eldest uncle, Secretary Han, are also from the same family and have the same great-grandfather.

Uncle Han Jiu is also a well-known figure in Hanjiatun.

You can tell from the fact that his family can privately raise a donkey, but they are not afraid of being reported by others because it is allowed by the state.

In addition to the income generated by raising this big black donkey, he can also go to the town’s accounting department to collect 20 yuan of pension every month.

This is given to him by the state, and he can receive this pension until his death. It is a unique treatment in Hanjiatun!

So Uncle Han Jiu’s house is also a brick and tile house, and it was built several years ago.

As they were talking, the couple put their luggage away and got in the car.

There were not many people on the bus at that time, so I found two parking spaces, sat down, and bought a ticket from the conductor.

Other people came to get on the bus one after another. When the time came, the conductor called out and the driver started the bus.

Jiang Qian is not prone to motion sickness, but the road was bumpy at that time, the car's shock absorption was not that good, and the smell of gasoline was quite strong, so the journey was very difficult.

Sitting next to them, on the other side of a sidewalk, a woman felt like she was about to vomit, so she quickly covered her mouth, swallowed the food back, and patted her chest.

This time, Jiang Qian was in even worse situation.

She leaned directly into Han Shiguo's arms.

Han Shiguo thought she was carsick, so he quickly helped her carry him on his back, "Just bear with it, we'll be there soon."

Jiang Qian nodded. Because she got up early and the car was in this condition, Jiang Qian, who never gets carsick, got carsick. Her head was dizzy and she leaned on Han Shiguo's arms and fell asleep unknowingly.

I don't know whether I fell asleep or fainted.

Anyway, by the time Han Shiguo called her, she had already arrived.

Jiang Qian quickly followed him out of the car. As soon as she got out of the car, she felt like a fish that had come alive!

Han Shiguo picked up all the quilts with a carrying pole, and in his hand he was also pulling the suitcase that Jiang Qian brought as a dowry.

Jiang Qian was carrying a small bag and a basket of food in her hands.

This is the characteristic of this era, carrying large and small bags wherever you go.

They had to transfer to a bus, which took more than ten minutes to arrive. They got on the bus, bought tickets, and sat for another hour before reaching the train station.

At this time, it was almost noon.

Han Shiguo immediately took his ID and went to buy a soft sleeper ticket. The train was at 2pm, so it was still early.

Han Shiguo also made a phone call.

Ask the communicator to tell his comrades about his arrival time and ask them to come and pick him up.

After the phone call, the couple went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.

Jiang Qian wouldn't get carsick when taking the bus in the provincial capital later, but her appetite wasn't very good at the moment, so she just ordered a bowl of mutton noodles and gave half of it to Han Shiguo.

Han Shiguo was not affected at all. This man was as strong as iron.

Jiang Qian was envious and admired, and said softly, "How come you are in such good health?"

"It's no big deal. When we were carrying out missions, there were times when the conditions were ten or a hundred times more difficult than this, and we still got through it successfully." Han Shiguo said with a smile.
