Chapter 585: Stealing in Broad Daylight (Additional Update)
Hongbin’s wedding is scheduled for the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.
The main venue is in Suzhou.
After work on the 24th, everyone went to Hongbin's new house to help clean and decorate it.
The small house was packed with people and it was very lively.
Before the twelfth lunar month, Hongbin and Zhu Xiuyu had to go to work, so they would only return to Suzhou once every few days. Their relatives and friends in Suzhou took the initiative to take on the task of preparation. Now everything has been arranged, and they are just waiting for the good day to come.
The clinic where Zhuang Hualin used to work was closed, so she went to work in the factory clinic. Therefore, Xiangdong no longer needed to pick her up and drop her off, and they came over together after work.
The ladies packed their belongings while the men checked the doors, windows and other belongings, and moved things around.
Red paper, red quilt, everything is red.
Zhuang Hualin wrapped his head with an old scarf and went to sweep the spider webs, saying to Song Ying:
"I think Dongzhe is much less of a worry than Pengfei. He didn't come back for several days during his vacation. He said he would come back, but he didn't show up. I couldn't sleep all night. Then when I went to take over the next day, I found out that he called our medical department at around 10 pm and said something had delayed him."
"Pengfei is a smart kid and will do great things. Don't worry about him." Song Ying held a different opinion.
"Mom, I didn't buy the boat ticket, so I was delayed!" Pengfei and Dongzhe were moving the cabinets, and they felt that one of the cabinets was shaking a little.
Of course, it’s not just about not having a boat ticket, but I can tell Dongzhe about this, but I can’t tell the mothers.
On the day he returned, Yangzhou didn't know what kind of winter garden party was being held, so he didn't buy a boat ticket back to Suzhou.
Moreover, he had not expected that there would be no tickets for nearly three days, and he could not wait any longer, so Pengfei decided to travel by land and take a bus.
In previous years, when he went home for holidays, he would just carry a schoolbag and go, but this year was different, because Hongbin was getting married this year, so there would definitely be more people around, so he brought some extra Yangzhou specialties with him, thinking of giving them to his elders and brothers and sisters during the New Year.
I bought two things on the left and one on the right, and they ended up filling up two large woven bags.
We are young and have plenty of energy.
The bus driver was on the rooftop receiving the luggage. Pengfei handed over two woven bags, and after handing over the luggage, he handed over a cigarette and said politely:
"Thank you for your hard work, Master. Don't pile up with the hard stuff."
Hard goods refer to hard goods such as wood and iron, which can easily damage things if piled together. Passengers with suitcases may have such requirements, especially for fear that the suitcases may be damaged.
The man took the cigarette, glanced at him, nodded, and put the two woven bags next to a pile of cotton mattresses and luggage.
Pengfei was relieved and waited for the car to arrive. He could take a boat and sleep for one night. However, the car ride was not short, it would take seven or eight hours. Normally, he would have to have dinner when he got home, not to mention the situation where the car broke down or the road was bad.
Pengfei just checked the condition of the car. It should have been less than two years old, so there is no rush.
While driving, Pengfei heard the laughter of several boys and girls of his age in the back seat, so he looked back.
They spoke Suzhou dialect, and Pengfei realized that they were also college students studying in Yangzhou, from Suzhou. They were probably freshmen going home for the first time, and like him, they couldn't buy boat tickets and had to take the bus.
The car left the city, shaking and stopping, and soon everyone felt drowsy.
It was not until noon that the car stopped at a remote rest stop.
The drivers need to eat, and they also need to spend some money on food before they can get back on the road.
Pengfei understood these tricks, so he spent money to buy the cheapest meal, ate it in no time, and then went to stretch his muscles.
The boys and girls were all college students, and they looked well-dressed. They carried their own high-end food such as fruits and bread, so they did not want to eat the food in the rest stop.
"You can't get on the bus if you don't buy it!" the driver said viciously.
"Hey, you guys are still forcing people to buy and sell! The walls outside your station are all covered with words like 'Crackdown on Vehicles, Bandits, and Road Bullies'. It turns out you are the ones who are responsible. There is really no law!" A tall male classmate stood up.
"That's right!" Several other college students immediately came out to support.
He thought the driver would give up because there were so many of them, but he didn't expect the driver to shout:
"Come on! Someone's causing trouble!"
At this time, the cook in the house came out with a large spatula, and there were two other people, one holding a wooden stick and the other holding tongs.
Pengfei shook his head and sighed, then walked to a small mound to rest and get away from the battlefield.
"You still want to commit violence! We bought regular tickets at a regular station, and you are the car and driver of a state-owned unit!" The male college student who spoke first spoke again.
"Scream your mother!" Someone stepped forward and kicked him to the ground.
There were five students in this group, three girls and two boys. They were brave and had no intention of backing off.
Pengfei couldn't bear to see this and wanted to go forward to help. Just as he was thinking about a non-violent solution, he suddenly saw someone climbing onto the roof of the car.
It was normal to go to the roof to get the luggage and sort it, but the man opened Pengfei's bag.
Because he was standing on a small slope, he could see it clearly!
When he got on the bus, Pengfei checked carefully and found no bag that matched his, otherwise he would have marked it. So this person was going for his bag!
So, without paying any attention to the students fighting, he stood up, picked up a big stone from the ground, ran quickly to the car, and shouted:
"Try touching my things! It's not against the law to kill a thief!"
The sound was so loud that the tearing over there stopped and everyone looked towards the car.
"You dare to steal my things in broad daylight, then you are looking for death! I have been to Guizhou and Guangdong, and I have seen a lot of people like you! Get down! If you don't get down, I will hit you!" Pengfei raised the stone in his hand high.
