Han Yixian and his wife found out about the bus station, which wasn't far away, so they walked there. After asking around, they actually found out about Qingshui Village.
Qingshui Village is also by the sea, but it's not in the same township as Liu Jinhai's village, so Liu Jinhai didn't know about it.
Having found out the exact location, Han Yixian and He Yuhan prepared to take a car to the township where Qingshui Village was located. Fortunately, there were buses from the county seat to the town, which saved them a lot of trouble.
The two got into the car and waited for a while before it started moving. The car was very old and the road was in very bad shape. The car swayed and bumped its way towards Lianhua Town, where Qingshui Village is located.
Although it's late summer, this is the south, and it's still hot and humid. Combined with the blazing sun, sitting in the car feels like sitting in a stuffy oven.
Han Yixian felt heartbroken looking at his wife's flushed face covered in sweat, and took a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
Seeing that her husband's face was covered in more sweat than hers, He Yuhan secretly took out a towel soaked in cold water from her spatial storage and used it to wipe Han Yixian's sweat.
Han Yixian's eyes lit up as soon as he touched the cool towel; his wife's idea was brilliant.
He Yuhan said, "Look at you, you're sweating even more than me, hurry up and wipe it off."
Han Yixian smiled and took the wet towel from his wife, wiping the sweat from his face and neck. His clothes were almost soaked with sweat, but there was nothing he could do but endure it.
He Yuhan said softly, "When we come back, we'll leave at night. Riding a bicycle is better than taking a car. This is too much of a hassle."
Han Yi nodded and said, "Okay, we'll take action tonight when we get back."
He Yuhan took out a wet towel to wipe her sweat, and felt a little better after using the wet towel.
After a long and arduous journey, they finally arrived at Lianhua Town. Han Yixian and his wife breathed a sigh of relief as they got off the bus. "My goodness, this bus ride was such an ordeal!" He Yuhan thought, longing for the air-conditioned buses of her future life.
When we arrived in the town, it looked much smaller than the county town. There was only one main street, and most of the functional departments, such as the supply and marketing cooperative, the police station, and the post office, were concentrated on the main street.
Han Yi quickly found out the exact location of Qingshui Village by asking around. It wasn't far from Lianhua Town, only thirty li away. However, there were no cars on the road to Qingshui Village, so the two of them had to walk.
The two of them weren't in a hurry, and just strolled around as if they were sightseeing.
Once outside the town, He Yuhan looked up at the blazing sun overhead and said, "Brother Yi, this sun is too strong. It's almost noon. Let's go inside the space to rest and have lunch, and we also need to check on the kids."
Besides fields, there were also woods along the roadside. The two looked around to make sure no one was watching, then entered the grove and used the trees for cover to slip into the space.
As soon as I entered the space, I felt a cool breeze. Compared to the heat outside, the space was so comfortable.
First, they checked on their son, and then the two of them took a shower. They'd been sweating a lot these past two days; He Yuhan felt that living in the south during the summer was unbearable. These days, most places don't have air conditioning, and in this heat, even a fan just blows hot air—it's completely useless.
If we really want her to live in the south, it's better for her to stay in City C.
The two felt much better after taking a shower, and went to the kitchen to drink some mung bean soup that had been cooked that morning to cool them down.
Han Yixian looked at his wife's still slightly flushed face and smiled, "It must be so hot, right? Summers in the south are like this, hot and humid. This area is even more humid because it's close to the sea."
He Yuhan said while drinking mung bean soup, "I was thinking about whether to come and live in the South, but now that I see it, I really can't stand it."
Han Yixian said, "Conditions are good in G City, so it's not so bad. But in the inland areas, it's hard to even find an electric fan, so summers are especially unbearable. Southerners are used to it and it's a bit better, but we're not used to it."
As for your suggestion to live in the south, that's probably not feasible. You know how many jobs in City C need me; even if I wanted to transfer, it wouldn't be easy, and I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving it to others.
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Yes, many places have only just started to show signs of improvement, and we still need to keep up the good work. I was just saying that, thinking it would be more convenient to go to G City from the south. But the weather here is really hard to get used to; the north is much better. Besides, my family is all in the north, so coming to the south is really not realistic."
Anyway, I don't have a job or an employer, so I can go to G city by myself next time. I don't need to take up your time anymore.
Han Yixian said, "You can't come here by yourself, I'm not comfortable with that. We can come once a year, I can still find the time."
He Yuhan said, "Let's not think about it now, we'll talk about the future later. Let's make something to eat first, and go out in the afternoon when the sun is a little less intense. It's too hot at midday. We'll ride our bikes to Qingshui Village later."
Han Yi nodded and said, "You should go and keep our son company. I'll cook."
He Yuhan held her son and watched her husband cook at the kitchen door, and the two could even chat.
Little Xu Rui was overjoyed to see his parents. He grinned broadly, showing that he could already express some emotions, which made him incredibly lovable.
Han Yixian turned to look at his son's happy little face and said, "Our son is quite adaptable. He has been staying in his space by himself for so many days and rarely cries. When he grows up, he will definitely be a capable and determined person."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "What can you tell from a child who is so young? You're quite good at praising your son."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "Don't underestimate the child just because he's young; some of his personality traits are already showing. Our son is so good; we should have more sons in the future."
He Yuhan rolled her eyes at Han Yixian and said, "I think you can't forget about this. Xu Rui is still so young, I don't want to get pregnant so soon. Besides, whether we have a child or not is not up to us. Let nature take its course."
Han Yixian said with a grin, "I've been working hard these past few days, maybe you already have one."
He Yuhan snorted and said, "I can't be bothered with you."
After saying that, she took the child out of the house and let the child see the scenery outside.
Xiao Xurui was overjoyed to see the new things outside the house, waving his arms around nonstop.
For lunch, Han Yixian steamed egg custard for his son again, adding some chopped vegetables. Children shouldn't eat too much salt, so he only added a tiny bit. The child loved it, and the couple were delighted to see their child with such a good appetite; they believed that a good appetite meant faster growth.
After the couple finished lunch and put their son to sleep, they also went to bed to rest for a while.
They didn't leave the space until around four o'clock in the afternoon to continue their journey.
He Yuhan took out a bicycle as their mode of transportation. If Han Yixian's friends asked, she could just say she borrowed it from a friend.
Around 5 PM, Han Yixian and his wife finally arrived at Qingshui Village, a small fishing village. They learned that Han Yixian's friend, Liu Weiguo, was indeed in the village; they had found the right place.
