After a night of digestion, Shi Peng no longer had the reluctance and resentment he had yesterday...
Chu Xi's heart was already somewhat relaxed. It had been over a month since he left, and he had only just completed the first leg. He needed to speed up. After all, the journey was over a thousand kilometers, and the road ahead was mostly mountainous...
Shi Peng, who had taken a leave of absence early in the morning to see someone off, was silent all the way. He had a lot to say but didn't open his mouth.
Chu Xi, standing by, was simply taking advantage of this moment to truly admire the handsome man who belonged to her. He was indeed the man she had fallen in love with. His calm, steady, and resolute demeanor definitely made him stand out from the crowd...
All the way to Nanning Railway Station, until we arrived at the waiting hall, Shi Peng reluctantly hugged Little Stone and held his wife's hand,
"Wife, when can you come to see me next time? Be sure to write me a letter when you get home! Call me when you find your brother, and call me if you have any questions on the way..."
He was worried about his wife running around with the child, thinking it was too unsafe.
But it was difficult for him to stop his brother from visiting him, and he couldn't leave him either. He could only pray silently for his wife to have a safe journey.
We were heading north, passing through Guizhou and Chongqing. We could have driven directly without going to Chengdu, but Shi Peng insisted on seeing us off, so we had to take the train to Chongqing first.
She actually really wanted to go on a road trip. With the space as her foundation, the world was so big that she really had nothing to fear.
After bidding farewell to Shi Peng, Chu Xi put on her homemade backpack and boarded the train to Chongqing with the excited little Shitou in her arms. Just looking out the window at the green military uniforms still waving, she couldn't help but shed tears...
In fact, Chongqing was still part of Sichuan. It was established as a city in 1929, upgraded to a municipality in 1939, and liberated in 1949, becoming a centrally administered municipality under the administration of the Southwest Region. In July 1954, Chongqing was incorporated into Sichuan Province, becoming a provincial-level city. The next division didn't take place until 1997...
"Mom, Mom, the river is so deep, are there fish?"
An unknown amount of time had passed before Chu Xi was brought back to her senses by Xiao Shitou's cheerful voice. Looking at the little figure that was staring at the window with great excitement, Chu Xi finally let go of the reluctance in her heart and decided to gather her spirits and set off again!
At this time, the train was passing through a bridge in a deep mountain canyon, at a height of nearly 100 meters. Looking at the surging river below, Chu Xi began to accompany Xiao Shitou well.
Fortunately, Shi Peng used his military officer certificate and Chu Xi's letter of introduction to find a place on the railway and bought a sleeper ticket, allowing Chu Xi to relax for the next two days.
She casually took out a small bag of dried fish and ate it with Xiao Shitou to kill time. These were all bought on the black market. They tasted good, so she bought a lot. For this purpose, she even made two special trips, paid a deposit and ordered a batch. Naturally, she made the seller happy and gave him some gifts.
However, Chu Xi, who wanted to spend two days of quiet time, was speechless again...
There really are top-notch products everywhere!
"Grandma, grandma, I want to eat dried fish, I want to eat dried fish, it smells so good..."
A naughty child's voice rang out in the aisle.
The sleeper car was relatively empty, and I hadn't heard any noise since I boarded. It had been quite quiet. But when had this naughty kid gotten here...
"Okay, okay, my dear grandson, I'll give you some, don't make a fuss."
A slightly sharp voice sounded, which was quite harsh to the ear.
Chu Xi turned around and saw a naughty child of five or six years old running towards her, pointing his hand towards his own package on the table, which contained a lot of snacks.
The person following behind should be grandma. Her dress and appearance should be considered that of a wealthy family, but she has a bit of a nouveau riche look, and her snobbish eyes move quickly.
But that action did not stop his grandson's idea. He just watched him take other people's things, as if it was normal.
Chu Xi pushed the bag directly to the innermost part and stopped the child, which immediately made the naughty child angry.
Seeing that the dried fish that was about to be in his hands was gone, the naughty child started crying "Wow..." This made the old lady a little anxious, and she took her grandson back.
"Grandma, grandma, I want to eat dried fish, but she won't give it to me. She's a bad person, a bad person..."
"Don't cry, my dear grandson, don't cry. It's just a bag of dried fish. Grandma will buy it for you when we get off the bus. We won't eat theirs. They must not taste good..."
Chu Xi ignored her and continued to tease Little Stone. The cute little boy was addicted to looking at the scenery outside and kept pulling his mother to look at it.
But the old lady was not willing to give in. "Who needs that little bit of food? You are so tactless. Didn't you see that my dear grandson wanted to eat? You didn't even think to give some to my dear grandson. You are so stingy..."
Looking at her grandson who was still crying, the old lady reluctantly took out two eggs and placed them directly on the small table.
"I'll give you two eggs in exchange!"
Without waiting for Chu Xi's consent, the big hand covered with fat had already reached out to the bag of dried fish...
This is to stop the young from coming to the old...
