After Xia Jin finished writing the letter, she lay in bed to rest for a while. When she got up in the afternoon, she gave the letter to Gu Jingmo and asked him to send it to the capital.
Soon it was the end of May. With her accompanying Chen Xin these days, Chen Xin's mood became a little higher and he was not so taciturn anymore.
In order to help her get over this incident as soon as possible and return to her previous cheerful and generous self, they decided to have a good time with him for a whole day on Saturday.
This may be the last chance before the college entrance examination. The main goal this time is to enlighten Chen Xin and let her know that he still has so many good friends.
We only have two days of vacation, and the trains are very slow now, so there is no way to go anywhere else, so they chose a small village below to have a picnic.
Pan Qiancheng's grandmother lives in this village, so it was he who suggested going there.
At first, Xia Jin didn't want to go there because she was afraid that the same scene would cause Chen Xin to be sad, and if others didn't persuade her, it would make her feel even worse.
But later I heard that the place there is completely different from Grandma Chen’s, and there are a lot of flowers in May and June, so it is a great place.
Later she thought that she really had no good place to go, so she chose to stay there, to enjoy the nature and vent the frustration in her heart.
So on Saturday morning, she picked up the things she had prepared the night before and set off.
They agreed to meet at the department store and then take the bus to the village together.
This bus only runs four times a day, which means two round trips. It starts at around nine o'clock in the morning and goes there.
Not only did he not carry her things to send her there, but he looked at her standing there and said worriedly:
"How about I just go with you guys? I know all those people. I'm still worried about you going like this. What if something happens again..."
Xia Jin looked at him and comforted him, "Why worry? We are not just two girls, we also have two boys."
"If you go over there, they'll definitely be nervous. Even though they know you, you're so intimidating when you walk over there. I haven't even been able to calm them down, and you've scared them again."
"Besides, what are you worried about? This is Pan Qiancheng's grandmother's home, and we're going to his village. We know everyone there, so there's no danger."
Gu Jingmo looked at him and paused before saying, "That's why I'm worried. Look at how Chen Xing's grandmother treated him. What if Pan Qiancheng's grandmother is also that kind of person? What will we do then?"
"By then, you guys will be isolated and helpless in that village. Who will come to save you? Even if his grandmother is a good person, what if you get harassed by the scoundrels in the village?"
Xia Jin smiled and said:
"How can there be so many bad guys? Even if they were scoundrels, the villagers would definitely not side with them. Besides, Pan Qiancheng and Li Xiangqian are so tall, no one would dare to mess with us."
"Oh, don't worry, I'm sure nothing will happen to me. I promise you, if things really don't work out, have you forgotten that I have a secret weapon?"
"You're just scared by the kidnapping I had. How could I possibly encounter such things all the time? Don't you hope for my well-being?"
"I'm not some rare talent, no one is watching me all the time. You're just too nervous. Don't worry, it's really okay. You're not the type to follow me when I go out to play."
She was trying to reason with this person earnestly when Chen Xin came over with his father. Her father was still holding a bag in his hand, which seemed to be filled with prepared things.
Xia Jin saw them coming and greeted them. Chen Xin's father sent him here and then went back.
"Look how relieved Uncle Chen is. Chen Xin is all alone, so why can't you be relieved too? Go back quickly. My classmates will be here soon."
As he said that, he pushed him out. Gu Jingmo looked at him like this, touched his head, and scolded him with a smile:
"You heartless little thing, who am I doing this for? Aren't I just worried about you? Since you don't want me to follow you, forget it. I'm going home first. See you tonight."
"Bye-Bye."
After watching the man riding his bicycle back, Sister Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Why is this man still so clinging to her?
Fortunately, she can still talk to him now and he is not as unresponsive as before. If he were still like before, she really doesn't know what to do.
After seeing the person off, I turned around and chatted with Chen Xin, asking her what she brought.
She found that both of them brought food to go down the well, and one of them brought an extra piece of oilcloth, which he would spread on the ground later.
Afraid that the temperature would be low at night, she also put a thin jacket in her bag, but she wasn't sure if it would be useful.
They didn't bring pots, pans, and other utensils with them, as it would be inconvenient to carry them with them.
After waiting for a while, the two men came running over panting with their bags on their backs.
"You guys came running here?"
Li Xiangqian said while panting:
"Yeah, originally I went to his house to wait for him, and then we walked here together. But after walking for a while, he got worried that we'd be late, so we ran all the way here."
"No, later. There's still a while. You guys take a break first."
When the two of them had rested enough, the car heading to the village arrived and they got on the car carrying their bags.
It was still early and the bus wouldn't leave for a while, so when they got on, there were still several empty seats. They chose the front and back seats, sitting together.
After Xia Jin and the others sat down, they put their luggage in front of their feet. Behind them were Pan Qiancheng and the other person.
The two of them twisted their necks and chatted quietly with the two people behind them, asking about the scenery over there and the situation in the village.
Because they were going to Pan Qiancheng's grandmother's house, he needed to use her pots and pans, so they also brought gifts for her. After all, they couldn't go empty-handed.
Soon, groups of people got on the bus, all carrying large and small bags like them. It was obvious that they were going back to visit relatives.
Or they may have finished visiting relatives and are going home. Some come with a group of people, while others come alone.
Those who were traveling alone could only share seats with others. Xia Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them, thinking that fortunately there were exactly four of them and they didn't have to sit with strangers.
After all the seats on the bus were occupied, some people put their luggage in the front and stood there. They waited for ten minutes before the driver started the car and headed towards the village.
