Tian Guihua was immediately pleased, "Look how smart you look in that."
As for the clothes being a little big, that's no problem. We can go back and alter them, and when the child grows taller, we can loosen the stitches a couple of times.
Hua Xiangyun didn't care about any of this. Coming from the future, she had a different aesthetic sense. The more a person swayed in their clothes, the more beautiful they looked. So let them sway!
As for the other clothes, she really had no desire to try them on; the classic styles were just fine.
The trip was clearly very fruitful. Tian Guihua not only picked out a set of clothes for Hua Xiangyun, but also a pair of cloth shoes and some fabric for everyone in the family.
Xun Liangcai and his friends couldn't stop themselves. They not only spent all the money they had, but also borrowed fifty yuan from Tian Guihua. Finally, they returned home satisfied.
Carrying their belongings in sacks, the group walked home, chatting and laughing.
Just as I was crossing the intersection, a bicycle suddenly rushed down the hill.
Yang Lan, the pregnant woman on the bicycle, was pale-faced. She gripped the brake handlebars tightly, but even with her hands pressed firmly against the brakes, there was no effect.
All she could do was shout, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Hua Xiangyun had been paying close attention to her surroundings ever since Xun Liangcai's face began to darken.
Hearing these exclamations now, I know my worries are coming.
With quick reflexes, just as the bicycle was about to hit Xun Liangcai, she pulled him back a step, narrowly avoiding contact with the bicycle.
When she saw the large pregnant belly on the bicycle, her expression changed. She didn't even care about Xun Liangcai anymore and rushed out the moment he fell.
By the time Tian Guihua and the others realized what was happening, they only saw a blur as Hua Xiangyun had already disappeared around the corner after chasing the bicycle.
"This child!" Tian Guihua stamped her foot, put the things on the ground, and quickly ran after him.
Hua Guangzong hurriedly followed, while Xun Liangcai and Li Fangcao, who remained behind, looked at the mess on the ground but did not dare to catch up. They could only stand there anxiously and look around.
Meanwhile, Yang Lan, controlling the handlebars of her bicycle, finally managed to avoid pedestrians and descend the steep slope, but now she looked utterly desperate.
As a local, she knew that the road ended at a ditch, and if she stopped the car, she would fall into the ditch and be seriously injured, if not killed.
With the ditch right in front of her, she was about to close her eyes and wait for the final moment when her body suddenly leaned forward, her clothes tightened behind her, and she suddenly lost her balance. However, she did not feel any pain. The bicycle in her hands was already tilted severely, and she could no longer support herself. She let go, and the bicycle fell to the ground with a thud.
Clutching her still violently beating chest, Yang Lan gasped for breath and slowly came to her senses.
Hua Xiangyun used all the spiritual energy she had gathered over the past few days on her hands and feet, and was now somewhat exhausted. She forced a smile and said, "If you're alright, please stand up straight. I'm almost out of strength."
Yang Lan turned around and realized that she was almost leaning against a little girl. She blushed immediately, relieved to have escaped her predicament.
She quickly grabbed the wall for support, giving her trembling legs something to lean on, and carefully protected her stomach. "Thank you so much. I thought I was going to die this time."
Hua Xiangyun had exhausted her spiritual energy and was too weak to speak. Seeing that the pregnant woman was finally safe and sound, she sat on the ground, panting heavily, completely losing her composure.
When Tian Guihua rushed over and saw her granddaughter sitting on the ground, she became even more anxious. "Little darling, how are you? Are you alright?"
When she arrived in front of Hua Xiangyun, she saw that she was covered in sweat, but was just tired. She finally couldn't help but pat her on the back, "Are you crazy? What if you bump into something again?"
Hua Guangzong didn't even glance at Yang Lan, but instead squatted down to look at Hua Xiangyun, asking, "How are you? Are you injured anywhere?"
After regaining her composure, Hua Xiangyun replied, "It's nothing, I'm just a little exhausted from running. I'll be fine after a rest."
Yang Lan was filled with gratitude. "Thanks to this young comrade for his help, otherwise I would have lost my life in this ditch today."
Hua Xiangyun waved her hand, "These are all things we should do; we should all help each other."
Having regained her strength, she stood up with Tian Guihua's help, brushed the dust off her clothes, and prepared to leave with the two elderly people.
Yang Lan called out to them, "Young comrades, may I ask your name?"
You saved my child's and my life; I'll come to thank you in person later.
Hua Xiangyun waved her hand, "No need, anyone would have helped in this situation."
I see you're mostly alright now, so go home quickly. But don't ride that bicycle anymore.
Hua Xiangyun pointed to the worn-out brake pads, wondering which company was so careless as to allow a pregnant woman to ride such a bicycle.
Yang Lan saw it too, and at that moment, she gasped. Ever since she became pregnant, she had been lending the car to her brother-in-law, but she never expected that he would be so careless with the car, and today he almost cost her her life.
Hua Xiangyun glanced at her stomach and finally couldn't help but say, "Judging from these brake pads, they're not naturally worn. This car probably hasn't been around for very long. Even if there's wear and tear, it's impossible for both the front and rear brake pads to wear out simultaneously..."
No one present was stupid. Tian Guihua glanced at the other party with sympathy, then helped her granddaughter walk out. It was best not to meddle in other people's business.
"You, you've only just recovered, and you're already acting like this."
"Don't nag, Xiao Guai is just doing a good deed."
"I'm worried..."
As the sound gradually faded away, Yang Lan squatted down on the ground and stared at the brake pads on the front and rear wheels of the bicycle, lost in thought.
It wasn't until her baby kicked her twice that she smiled wryly, picked up her bicycle, and went straight back to her parents' house without even going home.
Xun Liangcai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hua Xiangyun return safely. "Xiangyun, you really saved your uncle's life today."
He still feels a bit scared when he thinks about it now. She was a pregnant woman. If he had really bumped into her, it would have been really dangerous.
Even if the other party is not pregnant, he will still suffer physical pain even if his life is not in danger.
Seeing that Xun Liangcai's ordeal was over, Hua Xiangyun joked, "Second Uncle, your luck is really terrible. You either hurt yourself or get hit by someone else."
Xun Liangcai also gave a wry smile, "I don't know what's been going on lately. Maybe I've just been having a run of bad luck. I seem to be having a particularly unlucky time."
Seeing that no one was around and that the group was already walking home in the alley, Hua Xiangyun asked, "So it wasn't just these past two days that you've had bad luck? Tell us about it!"
Xun Liangcai was carrying his things and hadn't even spoken yet when Li Lancao chimed in with a complaint, "Your second uncle has been in this condition for almost two months now. He's been doing alright these past few days, but he was having a rougher time before."
Even Tian Guihua and Hua Guangrong became curious and asked in unison, "How did they all have such bad luck?"
