Chapter 31 Hitchhiking

Lu Yunqian had a dream. In the dream, she was filled with the rich fruity aroma that made the glutton in her stomach rebel.

After waking up, she kept smelling a faint fruity fragrance. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got up to go to the bathroom. Unexpectedly, she saw her fourth brother carrying food into the room, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Fourth brother is actually obsessed with that woman again. How annoying!

She stamped her feet in anger, and now she was completely awakened from her sleepiness. Unable to sleep, she simply put on her clothes, sneaked out of Lu's house, and went straight to the educated youth point.

She wanted to go find Sister Rourou, because only Sister Rourou understood her best and knew her suffering.

Unfortunately, she didn't know what was wrong with Sister Rourou recently. She couldn't find her nine times out of ten when she went to look for her. Even if she did find her, she was very impatient to talk to her. Maybe she was in a bad mood?

Huang Xinran went to bed quickly after dinner.

When she woke up from her dream and looked at her watch, it was already half past four.

Oops, I overslept!

She hurriedly got up, picked up the burden and was about to go out, but unexpectedly Lu Yunchen came in from outside, saw her going out, and took the burden on his own initiative.

"Let's go."

He walked forward with his head down. Huang Xinran wanted to refuse, but was worried about alarming the people at home, so she had to follow him.

When they reached the back of the village and the side of the road, Lu Yunchen looked back and said, "Let's wait here."

"Who are you waiting for?"

Lu Yunchen did not answer her.

If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it. Who cares!

Huang Xinran secretly rolled his eyes, sat aside and said nothing.

He stopped here, wasn't he trying to hitchhike? Unfortunately, she had tried this before when she was selling cherries, but the passing cars were unwilling to stop and drove very fast, causing her to breathe a nose full of dust.

Are you stuck in traffic again today?

She looked dangling.

Unexpectedly, she was slapped in the face so quickly!

They hadn't waited for three minutes when they heard the sound of a vehicle approaching in the distance.

Country roads are like this, because they are all gravel roads, dusty, and the noise of cars passing by is loud and bumpy. In addition, there are not many cars passing by in the countryside, but you can hear the noise of any car passing by.

Huang Xinran watched the vehicle approaching with some nervousness. Through the dust that was stirred up, he could see clearly that it was a large truck. The truck was covered with a thick tarpaulin, so he couldn't see what was inside.

Seeing the truck approaching, Huang Xinran waved his hand impulsively: "Driver, stop for a moment, I want a ride!"

People in those days were very simple, and indeed many drivers would stop and give a ride, but after entering the 1980s, many truck drivers had suffered enough from road bullies and became very wary of passers-by. By then, there were very few truck drivers willing to stop.

Unless, of course, he knows the person coming.

Huang Xinran also waved with the idea of ​​giving it a try, but unexpectedly, the truck actually stopped in front of them, which shocked her.

After reacting, he quickly pulled Lu Yunchen and said, "Hurry up, let's go!"

Lu Yunchen glanced at her, then slowly picked up his burden and followed.

The window of the passenger compartment of the truck was lowered, and a head popped out. After seeing them clearly, the other person smiled, jumped out of the car, and waved at the two of them: "Hurry, get in!"

"Thank you, Master. You are such a kind person!"

Huang Xinran gave the other party the nice guy card and hurriedly opened the door of the rear driver's room.

Lu Yunchen jumped onto the cargo box without saying a word. When Huang Xinran was surprised, he saw the person who jumped off the car helping him put the basket on the car, and he couldn't help but thank him.

Only after Lu Yunchen got into the rear cab did the truck set off again.

"Master, are you going to the county town? Give us a ride and we'll get off outside the city. We won't delay you."

Worried that the other party couldn't hear him, Huang Xinran shouted at the top of his voice.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Don't delay anything."

The driver turned the steering wheel skillfully and smiled happily.

"You are a good man, my little comrade."

How rare!

Huang Xinran smiled happily. In fact, there are not many roads these days, especially in the countryside. There is only one big road through the villages. It's not that there are no roads, but there is only one road to the county town. If there is a need to split the road, it has to be split at the roundabout. That's why she said this.

"Sister-in-law, you and Brother Chen want to take a ride. As brothers, can you say no? Just sit there with confidence. You can even take a nap. I'll call you when we get to the destination."

The man in the passenger seat also spoke.

Brother Chen?

Huang Xinran subconsciously looked at Lu Yunchen, then at the two people in the driver's seat: "Do you... know each other?"

"Yes, how could I not know him?"

The young man in the co-pilot's seat came over with a smile: "Brother Chen and I are close friends who came out of the same trench. We are people who can entrust our lives to each other. Do you think we know each other?"

"Oh - you are comrades!"

Huang Xinran understood.

By the way, how come she didn’t know in her previous life that Lu Yunchen actually had such a comrade-in-arms?

Lu Yunchen nodded silently: "With Zhang Li and Wang Hongjun's help, we can get into the city faster."

"Then I have to thank my two comrades very much."

Huang Xinran hurriedly thanked him, but she couldn't help but grumble inwardly. She had only told Lu Yunchen that she was going to the city to sell cherries when she was about to go to bed last night. When did he contact the two of them?

Unfortunately, Lu Yunchen was already leaning against the car window with his eyes closed, and had no intention of explaining at all.

The two people in front of her seemed to be joking with her enthusiastically, but they kept playing Tai Chi in response to her questions. Along the way, she didn't get anything out of them. She only knew that the two of them lived near Wangjiashuikou. She didn't get anything else out of them. Instead, they knew everything about her situation.

Huang Xinran naturally didn't say much, but just talked about some things about the two children.

Since they were Lu Yunchen's comrades-in-arms, they must have known something about their family situation, and they should know something about the news she mentioned.

In fact, Huang Xinran misunderstood.

Although Zhang Li and Wang Hongjun were Lu Yunchen's comrades-in-arms, they got along very well, but that was before they were demobilized. Moreover, Lu Yunchen was a tight-lipped person who kept his mouth shut.

If Huang Xinran hadn't said it today, neither of them would have known that they already had a pair of four or five-year-old twins.

The truck roared along the way and soon arrived at the roundabout.

The Ring Road is just a name for now. Soon, Huaning County will usher in a round of rapid development opportunities. The Ring Road will also be expanded, slowly turned into a road, and gradually integrated into the jurisdiction of the main city.

"Okay, Xiao Zhang, just stop here. We can walk the rest of the way."

Huang Xinran thanked him cheerfully.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Li did not stop the car, but drove into the city with a roar: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, didn't you say you wanted to go to the department store? I will stop the car at the intersection ahead, and you can walk less."

Huang Xinran was a little worried about the risks of large trucks entering the city.

But thinking that the traffic control in the county town these days should not be that strict, and that Lu Yunchen had been closing his eyes and resting, he gave up the idea of ​​dissuading him.

Lu Yunchen woke up after arriving at the intersection, but he did not get out of the car. He just told Huang Xinran to come here and wait for her after finishing her business.
