Although the three-wheeled rickshaw looks low-key, its benefits are known to everyone who has ridden in one.
November in Shanghai is a beautiful autumn day. With a convertible like this, you can enjoy a wide field of vision and a moderate speed, and take in the beautiful scenery of the streets along the way. It is truly a sightseeing car.
During this period, there were no skyscrapers and no strange lights on the streets of Shanghai. Xiao Jiahua felt both strange and familiar.
When all the scenery lost its relevance to her, the only person she could rely on was the tricycle driver in front of her.
However, to describe it as "working hard" is actually a bit of an exaggeration.
In fact, Bai Keyan has been in the army for a decade and a half, and both his physical strength and endurance have improved significantly compared to when he just graduated from college.
Looking at him from behind, Xiao Jiahua felt that he had broad shoulders, a narrow waist and long legs, especially his strong and long legs, which made the three-wheeled rickshaw ride very steadily. She could hardly feel the bumps.
When passing by the alley, Xiao Jiahua occasionally encountered an elderly person walking out with a cane and crossing the road. He would be so anxious that he would touch and rub the car left and right.
Bai Keyan pulled the handbrake and waited quietly by the roadside, neither ringing the bell nor urging.
He took advantage of every opportunity to tell his young wife behind him about the local customs and practices, and asked her in a nagging manner, "Is it cold or hot?"
Even when passing by the supply and marketing department, Bai Keyan would stop and buy some pear syrup candies and butterfly cakes for her as snacks.
He was not in a hurry at all, as if time was standing there silently. He and she would arrive sooner or later and would never be late.
When they turned the corner, Bai Keyan couldn't help but nod his head again, and stopped to persuade her: "Xiaoxiao, pull the awning down a little, don't let the wind blow, be careful not to get sunburned."
Alas, she is now a curious and troublesome baby.
Of course Xiao Jiahua was not convinced.
She woke up from her "beauty", looked around, and said in a teasing tone: "Bai Keyan, you've gone the wrong way. This is not the way to the hospital!"
Bai Keyan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You have never been to Shanghai, how do you know?"
"I just know it!" Xiao Jiahua nodded proudly.
Although things and people have changed in old Shanghai, some of the old streets have been preserved until the new century and are no longer unfamiliar to Xiao Jiahua.
Besides, the hospital where Second Aunt stayed was quite famous, so Xiao Jiahua naturally knew the route.
But in front of Bai Keyan, she could only make up a story: "Just now on the train, I looked at the map of Shanghai and asked the stewardess. I won't remember it wrong."
Well, this is a disguised way of boasting about your photographic memory and superior comprehension. You are really shameless.
Bai Keyan chuckled: "Yes, you are not wrong. But we are not going to the hospital."
Xiao Jiahua was puzzled: "Hasn't Second Aunt been in the hospital all the time?"
Bai Keyan: "She applied for temporary discharge from the hospital for a few days to welcome you, and is now waiting for you at home."
“……?” This old lady doesn’t play by the rules.
"Don't worry, we'll be there soon."
Bai Keyan rode a new motorbike.
.
Shen Mingquan, Bai Keyan's second aunt, worked in a trade union before her retirement. Her husband, Bai Heping, Bai Keyan's second uncle, had always been a cadre in the Frontier Construction Corps.
After Shen Mingquan retired, due to poor health, he lived half of the time in a nursing home and half of the time in a detached mansion on the outskirts of the city.
It is said that this mansion was purchased by Bai Keyan’s great-grandfather during the late Qing Dynasty.
Later, Bai Keyan's grandfather devoted himself to industry and during the Anti-Japanese War, he donated his property to help the poor.
Before his death, my grandfather only left an old house for each of his two sons, asking them to start their own business.
However, things are unpredictable. After Bai Keyan's father returned from studying abroad, he went north to Beijing, where he married and settled down.
Bai Keyan's second uncle joined the army and has been stationed in the border areas since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Neither of the brothers stayed in Shanghai.
