Li Defu also stuffed a few bites of the cornmeal bun into his mouth, picked up a piece of old pickled vegetables and stuffed it into his mouth, waving his hand: "Go! Go! Go and pack your things."
"Old woman, take the things you prepared to your daughter."
Cui hurried to the kitchen.
They didn't expect Li Lan to leave in such a hurry, so they didn't have time to prepare the local specialties they had in mind. They just brought a few freshly baked scallion pancakes.
This was originally intended to be food for Li Defu who was working overtime, but now it can only be used as an emergency measure for Li Lan.
It takes several days to drive from here to her home, and with these cakes the children won’t go hungry.
After thinking about it, Cui ran to the bedroom again and found a small handkerchief from under the mattress. The handkerchief was wrapped in several layers. After uncovering it, she took out twelve yuan from it, wrapped it in cloth and stuffed it under the mattress.
Then he took the oil cake and money and walked out.
At this time, Li Lan had already packed everything and she only had a small bag.
Cui stuffed the oil cake and money into her hands, saying, "My daughter left in a hurry. I wanted to prepare some local specialties for my in-laws, but now I can't prepare anything."
"I just made these fried dough sticks for you to eat on the way. The money is not much, but we are poor at home and rich on the road. My daughter, please don't worry about money on the way. Take them all with you."
Li Lan pretended to refuse and then put them all away.
Li Defu had already prepared a cart with an ox tied to it. She sat on the cart, holding the bundle tightly in her arms, and Li Defu drove the ox cart to take her to the station.
The weather was too hot, so Cui found her a straw hat to wear on her head.
The streets were empty, not a soul was in sight. The sun was so hot that it was almost suffocating, and even the wind could burn people, which made her miss the coolness of the Northwest.
There was nowhere else to go, and that was still her goal.
Even if Zhao Qingmei betrayed me, what would happen? No matter what they said, they would never have thought that I was already under their noses!
The ox cart turned a corner and a man in a white vest came towards them and greeted Li Defu.
"Lao Li, what are you doing in the middle of the day?"
Li Defu answered loudly: "Send a relative. Go!"
After whipping the cow hard on its butt, the old cow still walked forward slowly.
The man walked over quickly, looked sideways at Li Lan, and asked curiously, "Do you have any distant relatives? This woman has really fair skin. What's your name?"
Li Lan quickly lowered her head; the oversized straw hat covered most of her face.
She said in a muffled voice: "Liu Ying."
The man smiled and said, "Go quickly! Don't keep such a young girl under the sun all the time, be careful not to get sunburned. Haha..."
Li Defu smiled and said, "How can a country kid be so delicate? Go home and have dinner! Otherwise your wife will scold you!"
It seems that the two of them are very familiar with each other.
The man laughed heartily and walked away with big strides.
Li Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief, her back was soaked with sweat, she didn't know if it was because of the heat or because she was scared.
There were only a few people at the station, so Li Defu asked her to buy a ticket to Beijing and then take the train back.
