Seeing Yun Qiao sigh, Su Hua curiously asked who that person was. How could he cry and complain to you so much as soon as he saw you after not seeing you for so many years?
Yun Qiao said that he was an educated youth he met when he went to the countryside before, but they were not very familiar with each other. He complained to me probably because he had no one else to talk to.
Su Hua said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
She had no good feelings towards Chen Fengxia, a complaining woman full of negative energy. She felt sorry for her, but she always felt that if she interacted with such a person for too long, she would be influenced and lose confidence in life.
She still prefers a positive life, so she usually tries to avoid arguing with people who are unhappy with their lives to avoid being influenced by them.
Yun Qiao didn't mention Chen Fengxia anymore. After eating the ice cream, he continued shopping with Su Hua and the others.
After visiting the City God Temple, I took a walk around the nearby Yu Garden.
He Yan and He Yi grew up in the north and had never seen gardens in the south.
Although Yu Garden is not big, the overall design is very exquisite, with different scenery at every step. It is very compact and delicate. The two children opened their eyes wide as they entered the door, and kept exclaiming "wow wow wow" with their mouths wide open the whole time.
Yun Qiao took a lot of photos of the two children with his camera, and he was still reluctant to leave until he left.
As it was getting dark, Yun Qiao and Su Hua were going home in different directions, so they stood in front of each other to say goodbye.
Su Hua's bus arrived first. Yun Qiao waved at her and said, "Xiao Hua, I can stay in Shanghai until mid-August. When you have nothing to do, you can come to the Ye family to visit me."
Su Hua nodded: "Okay, Sister Yun Qiao, I'll come play with you when I'm free."
Yun Qiao hummed and reminded her, "Be careful on the road."
Su Hua nodded: "You too."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bus started slowly and soon disappeared from Yun Qiao's sight.
After Su Hua left, Yun Qiao took the two children to sit on the bench next to the bus platform.
He Yan and He Yi sat next to Yun Qiao, one on each side. He Yi leaned over, lying on Yun Qiao's legs, and yawned: "Mom, when will our car arrive?"
Yun Qiao replied, "Mom doesn't know either. Maybe we need to wait a little longer."
The arrival time of the bus is not fixed. The only certainty is that it runs every half an hour, so the latest arrival time will not exceed half an hour.
He Yi said "Oh" and yawned again.
Yun Qiao raised his hand and touched his sweaty hair, then asked, "Are you sleepy?"
He Yi nodded: "A little bit."
Children have limited energy, so it is normal for them to feel tired and sleepy after running all afternoon. However, they cannot sleep outside no matter how sleepy they are.
He Yi is already five years old and weighs nearly 40 kilograms. Yun Qiao can no longer hold him now. If he is left to fall asleep outside, Yun Qiao doesn't know what to do.
So Yun Qiao said, "Be patient and sleep when you get home."
He Yi also knew that his body was very heavy now and his mother couldn't hold him, so he nodded obediently: "Okay."
But sometimes, the feeling of being sleepy is really beyond human control.
While waiting for the bus, He Yi's head sank down bit by bit like a chicken pecking at rice. His eyes were too sleepy to open, and his upper eyelids kept twitching as if he was rolling his eyes.
By the time the bus arrived, he had already slept on Yun Qiao's legs several times.
Yun Qiao saw the bus coming and patted He Yi on the back: "Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, wake up. The bus is here, we should get on."
"Ah? Yeah." He Yi struggled to wake up from his sleep and got into the car behind Yunqiao.
He was so sleepy that he almost missed a step when getting into the car. Fortunately, Yun Qiao supported him in time and prevented him from falling to the ground.
There were a lot of people on the bus in the evening, with almost no empty seats. However, a kind-hearted older sister saw that Yun Qiao was with two children, one of whom was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes, so she took the initiative to give up her seat to Yun Qiao, letting Yun Qiao sit down with the child in her arms and let the child sleep in her arms for a while.
Yun Qiao thanked her repeatedly, hugged He Yi in his arms, and pulled He Yan, telling He Yan to stand close to him and not be squeezed by others.
In the late 1970s, the decade of turmoil had just ended and society was relatively chaotic. During this period, criminals everywhere were particularly active and rampant.
The bus was a mixed crowd, and there might even be human traffickers among them. Yun Qiao was worried that if he misjudged He Yan, he would be pulled off the bus. Once the child disappeared from his sight, it would be like a drop in the ocean, and there would be no place to find him.
Yun Qiao couldn't allow this to happen, so he was extremely nervous during the entire ride, holding He Yi with one hand and holding He Yan's hand with the other.
Fortunately, what Yun Qiao was worried about did not happen in the end, and he arrived at the bus stop near Yejia Alley safely.
When the bus arrived at the station, Yun Qiao woke He Yi up and asked him to get off by himself.
She held He Yi all the way, and her legs were numb from the weight of his body. When she jumped out of the car, her legs went numb and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a wooden telephone pole nearby, and Yun Qiao held on to it, so she didn't fall.
At this time, it was completely dark outside, and the street lights were dim, only illuminating a small section of the road around.
Yun Qiao stood there for a while, and when his legs were no longer numb, he slowly took the two children to the Ye family's house.
Turning from the main street into the alley where the Ye family lived, Yun Qiao saw from afar a figure pacing anxiously in front of the gate of the Ye family's courtyard.
The figure saw someone coming into the alley and immediately came over to greet them, asking, "Yun Qiao? Are you back?"
Yun Qiao recognized Bai Qiu's voice and quickly responded, "It's me. Aunt, I'm back."
Bai Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, walked over to Yun Qiao, and said with some complaint, "Why did you come back so late? It's dark outside, how unsafe it is."
"I'm sorry, Auntie, I made you worry." Yun Qiao said a little embarrassedly, "It was still light when I planned to come back, but I didn't expect the bus to be so slow, so I had to wait a long time for it. When it arrived, it was dark."
"Some buses have a long interval between each trip. Next time you go out, come back early, maybe around 5 o'clock, to leave enough time to wait for the bus." Bai Qiu said as he led Yun Qiao and the others towards home, saying, "Hurry home, I've prepared dinner."
"Okay." Yun Qiao nodded. "After walking around all afternoon, I'm a little hungry."
"If you're hungry, eat more." Bai Qiu smiled and asked, "Where did Tianqi go to play?"
Yun Qiao said: "We visited the Bund, took a cruise, and also visited the City God Temple and Yu Garden."
Bai Qiu said, "Did you walk the whole way?"
