When the woman saw Xu Sui looking at her, she smiled at her kindly.

She was just afraid that the little girl was too shy to know how to refuse and didn't offer a word of help.

Until the evening, the noise in the car gradually died down, and everyone was ready to go to sleep, and the lady didn't say a word.

The next day, Xu Sui woke up at dawn. The lady next to her had gotten off the car at some point and was replaced by a middle-aged man in his forties.

Everyone in the car was still asleep, but the little girl opposite was lying on the window, staring at the scenery outside.

Seeing the beautiful sister move, she turned around with a big smile and said silently: "Hello, sister!"

Xu Sui couldn't help but pinch her face, then picked up the water cup, motioning her to get some hot water, and asked her if he could help her.

The little girl had been thirsty for a long time, but she was afraid of waking up her mother, so she endured it and nodded heavily.

Xu Sui took two cups of water and went to the connection between the carriages to get some water.

The water flowed slowly, and she placed her thumb on the rim of the cup, letting the thin stream of water flow down and blend silently into it.

She was not some saint, she would not use the spiritual spring to save a poor person. She thought of her elder sister Xu Mian from the mother and daughter. If she had not traveled through time, she would have only one year to live.

She didn't know how sad the Xu family was when the news of Xu Mian's death reached home in the original drama, but the drama didn't describe it. The Xu family was a supporting role, and Xu Mian's death was a stepping stone for the heroine.

It is said that drinking a sip of her spiritual spring water can cure all diseases and slowly improve the body. The little girl's heart disease will not disappear after drinking this cup, but it will definitely alleviate the symptoms.

It was just a chance encounter, there was only so much she could do.

After sitting on the train for two days and one night, even with the spiritual spring to relieve the discomfort, Xu Suixiao felt that she could not bear it any longer.

Her senses were much more sensitive than those of ordinary people after being nourished. When it was time for dinner, she wanted to stick her head out of the car window.

Fortunately, I finally stood up.

After getting off the train, Xu Sui took a bus for an hour and a half to the port, and then spent four yuan at the port to buy a third-class ticket. Fortunately, there was a berth. After sleeping on the boat for a night, he was able to reach the island early the next morning.

Xu Sui calculated the expenses of the trip in detail. If it weren't for the fact that both Xu's mother and father were brigade cadres and their children were quarreling, they would definitely not be able to afford the money to visit their relatives.

Of course, most people would not be willing to spend this money to visit their daughter.

The conditions in the third-class cabin were not very good, but Xu Suixiao was able to get a good night's sleep.

After waking up the next day, I went to the bathroom to change clothes and tidy myself up.

The clothes she was wearing were already a little wrinkled. Even though Xu Sui loved cleanliness, she was squeezed into the same car with so many people and it was stained with a little smell.

Xu Sui couldn't stand the smell, so after simply washing herself, she changed into a white shirt made for her by Xu's wife, and a pair of light blue trousers.

Most trousers nowadays are rather baggy, so before leaving, she asked her sister-in-law to help her make them a little narrower, which made her look much more refreshing.

Xu Sui had taken a piece of floral fabric from Zhang Yunxiu's rag basket. The fabric was too thin and long to be used to make anything, and it was not a good choice for mending, so she locked the edge of it and made a headband.

Now she braided this headband into her side braid and then fluffed up her hair, making her look gentle and clean.

After she came out of the bathroom, she looked at the girl sleeping on the bunk above her with sparkling eyes.

The girl was very cheerful and came over to say that she wanted Xu Sui to do her hair.

Xu Sui started braiding her hair from the top of her head and made two pigtails. The girl had a lot of hair, so just pulling out a few strands of hair would make the whole hairstyle fuller. She also taught her why she should do that.

The girl liked it very much and took out two apples and forced them into her mouth.

Xu Sui took one, washed the other one, broke it in half and ate it with her.

After getting off the boat, they were not far from the troops. Xu Sui only needed to take another bus to reach the family compound. Xu Mian would be waiting for her at the gate of the compound.

Xu Sui went to the station and there was a bus leaving at 8:30.

She was carrying two packages and was following the people in front of her to get on the bus. There were only two steps to the bus, but the child in front of her was skipping up, and he staggered and fell, sliding down one step.

Xu Sui took a step back subconsciously, but her back foot missed a step and she fell backwards.

"careful!"

Just when she thought she was about to fall, a bony hand from behind firmly rested on her shoulder.

Xu Sui steadied herself and turned her head.

The man who had just supported her was a man in his thirties, wearing a military uniform, with a slender figure, a crew cut, dark skin, clear facial features and deep eyes.

His whole temperament is like a sword about to be unsheathed, which is extremely sharp but does not make people feel overly aggressive.

After Lu Chenghuai straightened the man, he immediately withdrew his hand and passed the package he had caught with his other hand.

"Thank you, comrades of the People's Liberation Army." A clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out.

Lu Chenghuai raised his eyes, and a delicate and bright face was reflected in his eyes. When she met his gaze, the girl had two shallow vortices on both sides of her cheeks, and when she smiled, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, with a hint of charm.

The eyes are extremely clear and clean.

It was not until he saw the hair on both sides of her forehead fluttering that Lu Chenghuai came to his senses and realized that he had actually observed a woman's appearance for so long.

Although it only took a few seconds, it was extremely abnormal for him.

Xu Sui did not notice the other party's psychological activities in a short period of time. In her opinion, this PLA comrade had a military demeanor and looked very serious.

She was sincerely thanking him. After all, her lower body was not broken. If she fell, she would definitely get some scratches.

Xu Sui took out an apple from the cloth bag she was carrying and passed it to him. "Luckily you helped me, otherwise I would have been in pain if I fell. I'll treat you to this."

Lu Chenghuai was about to refuse, but the girl in front of him stuffed the apple directly into his hand.

He should have refused, Lu Chenghuai looked at the apple in his hand.

He was usually quick to react, but this time he failed to push it away immediately.

Xu Sui waved her hands, and the swirls on her cheeks deepened. "There are comrades coming up behind me. I'll go sit first. Thank you."

She didn't want to squeeze with others this time, so she reserved the co-pilot's seat on the bus early.

After we got seated, more and more people got on the bus and soon all the seats were filled, and the aisle was also crowded with things.

Only Xu Sui was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, with enough space for her hands and feet, and a wide view ahead.

She rejoiced, looked back, and found the PLA comrade standing in the aisle among the crowd that was packed like a can of salmon.

Standing like a green pine, nothing more.
