Chapter 32 Going to the City to Sell Medicine
"Got it. Let's go. The sun will come out soon!" Zhou Huaian said and pushed the chicken bus towards the gate of the courtyard with a "jiga jiga" sound.
It's rare to see someone so self-righteously partial to someone. If the object of his partiality wasn't his young wife, he would have gone on strike long ago.
Yang Chunyan stepped forward to open the gate and said to Zhou's father and grandfather who had escorted them out, "We are leaving."
Grandpa Zhou waved his hand, watched the two walk away, and said to Zhou's father: "Chunyan is a good person. If the youngest can change, there is no need to worry about the two of them having a bad life in the future."
"I'm afraid he won't change his ways." Father Zhou sighed, "I can only help them more after the family is divided."
Yang Chunyan followed behind Zhou Huaian, looking at the tall figure pushing the chicken cart steadily forward, and praised: "Huaian, I didn't expect you to push the chicken cart so steadily. When did you learn to do it?"
Zhou Huaian was a little proud, "When I was a kid, I thought pushing the cart was fun, so I learned it from the old man." But after he learned it, the old man asked him to help transport things. He regretted it so much.
"The chicken bus can hold a lot of stuff, so it's convenient for traveling on mountain roads."
"If you don't know how to push it, it's easy to flip over on a small road." Zhou Huaian turned his head to look at her and said proudly, "I've never flipped it over."
"I can push it along on the main road, but it always overturns on the small road."
"Xiaolu will ask me to push from now on."
"Okay, I'll push it when we get to the main road."
"Forget it, my old man will beat me if he finds out."
The two walked in the morning mist, accompanied by the "creaking" sound of the chicken bus, and unknowingly turned the foot of the mountain and arrived at the mechanized farming road of Fangtian Brigade.
Zhou Huaian had never pushed the cart for such a long distance alone. He felt the linen straps on his shoulders were causing burning pain. The cart was getting heavier and heavier, and he wanted to just leave it on the road and go home.
Yang Chunyan heard him panting heavily, turned around and saw that he was sweating profusely, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and said softly: "Huai'an, are you tired? Let me do the push!"
"..." Zhou Huaian looked at her frail body, and the words on his lips didn't come out. He straightened his spine and felt his strength returning:
"I'm not tired. Not to mention that there are less than 200 kilograms of herbs, if you can ride in the cart with me, I can push it and walk all the way to Ning'an in one breath."
Yang Chunyan glanced at him and smiled, "Forget it. It's too tiring for me to sit on it. I'll go with you. If you get tired, call me and I'll push it."
Zhou Huaian puffed out his chest and said, "I'm not tired of talking. Your man is a seven-foot-tall man, so this is no problem for you!"
"Okay, no problem."
The sun came out, and Yang Chunyan took out a straw hat from her jacket, put one on Zhou Huaian's head, and put one on herself.
The two of them walked quickly forward, facing the rising sun, accompanied by the "cheep-cheep" sound of the chicken bus.
The tractor road was bumpy and Zhou Huaian, who seldom did heavy work, had a hard time pushing the tractor. He wanted to abandon the tractor several times and sit down to rest. Looking at his frail young wife and thinking about the money that was about to come, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
When the two walked to the asphalt road, the scorching sun shone on their bodies, making them dizzy.
Yang Chunyan pointed to the big stone placed under the yellow horn tree with dense leaves on the roadside and said, "Huai'an, sit there and rest for a while and drink some rice soup."
Zhou Huaian was so tired that he was panting and sweating profusely. He put the chicken bus away, wiped the sweat off his face, and sat down on a rock under the tree.
I felt a burning pain in my palms, and then I discovered that my palms had blisters. "Yan'er, look!"
Yang Chunyan took a look and said, "I'll wrap your hands with a handkerchief until thick calluses form."
After tying the handkerchief, Zhou Huaian looked at his palm and sighed, "What a miserable life!"
"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Yang Chunyan rolled her eyes at him and handed him the kettle. "Drink some water!"
"You didn't tell me to blow it, and you didn't allow me to shout!" Zhou Huaian glared at her, took the kettle and drank a few gulps, took off his hat and kept fanning himself, "What a bright sun, what a horrible weather, it's killing me with heat."
Yang Chunyan said, "The next asphalt road is much easier to walk on. Your palms are blistered, I will push the cart."
Zhou Huaian saw that all the people pushing the chicken carts on the road were men, and he imagined himself swinging his hands and following the young wife who was pushing the chicken cart hard...
I couldn't help but feel a chill and shook my head repeatedly, "Forget it, how can a woman push a cock bus? Didn't you say that it would be fine if I had thick calluses?"
Yang Chunyan remembered that he used to like beef noodles, so she smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. When we get to the county town and sell herbs, I'll treat you to beef noodles, and you can add meat!"
After hearing this, Zhou Huaian felt that his wife was still the best. He remembered that they were engaged when Ning An went shopping and took her to eat beef noodles. He waved his hand and said, "Oh! How can a woman treat a man to a meal? I'll treat you after we split the money."
Yang Chunyan smiled and nodded, "Okay, you treat me."
Zhou Huaian looked at her face which was tanned red by the sun, and felt itchy in his heart. He thought of the bet made yesterday, "Yan'er, don't forget what we said in the bet yesterday."
"I haven't forgotten!" Yang Chunyan rolled her eyes at him, "When have I ever said anything but kept my word?"
"Haha!" Zhou Huaian laughed foolishly, "I'm just reminding you."
At this time, a tractor drove over, with several villagers on board who were going to Ning'an.
Zhou Huaian said to Yang Chunyan, "Yan'er, the tractor is here. Take the tractor first and wait for me at Ning'an Bridge."
Yang Chunyan shook her head. "No, a few cents can buy a few boxes of matches. Besides, we can walk together and talk, and you will have company."
Seeing her being so frugal, Zhou Huaian felt a little uncomfortable, so he stood up and said, "Forget it if you don't want to sit down, let's go."
Yang Chunyan nodded and put on the straw hat. Zhou Huaian put the straw hat on his head, put on the cloth belt, pushed the chicken bus forward.
Zhou Huaian was awkward for a while, then turned his head to look at Yang Chunyan, "Silly woman, you don't want to take the car, you like to walk."
Yang Chunyan glanced at him and said, "I like it, why do you care about me?"
"Come, I'll push you." Zhou Huaian said as he put the chicken bus away and came over to pull her.
"No, I like walking." Yang Chunyan hid aside.
Zhou Huaian looked at her and grinned, "If you don't get in the car, I'll carry you in." Then he stepped forward and pretended to hug her.
"No, no, no," Yang Chunyan surrendered hastily, "I'll go up by myself."
Zhou Huaian nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, your man has plenty of strength, it would be great if he just obeyed you."
Yang Chunyan walked to the front of the chicken bus, leaned against the backpack, and sat on the horizontal bar facing Zhou Huaian.
"Let's go! Push the young wife to the market!" Zhou Huaian pushed the cart, and the chicken bus squeaked forward.
Half an hour later, the bus reached a gentle slope. Yang Chunyan hurriedly jumped off the bus, walked to the front of the bus and helped pull the bus forward.
After crossing the bridge, the couple, one pushing from behind and the other pulling from the front, arrived at Dr. Wang's clinic. It was already past ten o'clock.
