"Luckily, I changed her diaper at the police station and used up all the water in the thermos. They refilled it there, otherwise, without water to wash her, Ping An would have cried all the way home."
After carefully washing her and putting on a diaper, Wang Jingyi smiled and said, "How could that be? State-run restaurants still have hot water."
Su Yue picked up Ping An and walked around aimlessly in place.
Wang Jingyi put the diapers into the bag. "Let's go. I wonder if Fu Shen has picked up your second sister-in-law yet?"
Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "They should have received it by now."
At this moment, Fu Shen was staring intently at the exit.
Having learned from Su Xiaomei's example, he dared not relax for a moment.
Fu Shen knew that Wang Xiaohua had never traveled far from home; the farthest she had ever been was the county town.
Wang Xiaohua, carrying a bag, spotted Fu Shen from afar.
Before Fu Shen noticed her, she walked briskly over and called out, "Fu Shen."
Fu Shen stared at the person in front of him, his eyes wide with disbelief, almost unable to believe that this was Wang Xiaohua.
Compared to how he had seen her before, she was like a completely different person.
Her hair was cut short and was shiny black; he had never seen any other woman with such a dark complexion.
Seeing Fu Shen staring at her with a puzzled look, Wang Xiaohua looked down at herself somewhat uneasily and asked, "Is my clothing strange?"
Fu Shen snapped out of his daze and glanced at Wang Xiaohua. “Just dress normally. Let’s go eat first, and then we’ll take the car back. Second Brother said you can’t ride in a very bumpy car, and there’s a stretch of road to the army that’s very bumpy, so I didn’t drive here.”
...
"Yueyue, we're back." Fu Shen's voice came from outside the door.
Hearing the sound, Su Yue hurriedly ran out to open the door and was slightly taken aback when she saw Wang Xiaohua with her dark skin.
She looked her up and down, then hesitated before saying, "Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with you..."
Wang Xiaohua blinked: "What's wrong with me? Fu Shen had the same expression as you at the train station just now."
Su Yue carefully considered her words before saying, "My hair has been cut short and is now black."
She thought to herself: He looks much older than when they last met.
Hearing this, Wang Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I thought it was something else. Everyone in the village is tanned, but I also feel that I am much darker than the average person. However, it doesn't matter, as long as your second brother doesn't mind."
Fu Shen: "Second brother won't mind."
Su Yue smiled and took Wang Xiaohua's arm, "Second sister-in-law, let's go inside."
Fu Shen carried Wang Xiaohua's luggage, silently turned around and closed the door.
Upon entering the house, Wang Xiaohua was slightly taken aback when she saw Wang Jingyi holding Ping An.
Su Yue smiled and introduced them to the two women: "Second sister-in-law, this is my godmother, Wang Jingyi."
Then she turned to Wang Jingyi and said, "Godmother, this is my second sister-in-law, Wang Xiaohua. You even share the same surname."
Wang Jingyi slowly stood up, holding Ping An, with a kind and gentle smile on her face. She said, "I've heard Yueyue talk about you before. I'm older than you, so let's skip the formalities. I'll call you Xiaohua, and you can call me Sister Wang, okay?"
She was actually more than ten years older than Wang Xiaohua, but she deliberately said that because Wang Xiaohua looked much more weathered than herself due to years of hard work.
Farming in the countryside is really hard work, day after day under the wind and sun. I can't help but think about her two rascal boys, how they are doing, and whether they have also become tanned and thin.
