The next day was the first day of school. Wei Mian asked two paper figures to watch over the door and rode his bike to school.
This is already the second semester. I wonder if accommodation will be more relaxed, such as being able to live off campus.
In March, the temperature starts to rise, and there are not many people wearing cotton clothes on the streets now.
After being nourished by spiritual energy for a period of time, Wei Mian's body has recovered a lot. At least he is not as afraid of the cold as when he first arrived.
Thinking that the three people in the dormitory said they brought back local specialties and it was unlikely that they would go out for lunch, she turned into a restaurant not far from the school and planned to buy some staple food to take with her.
This is also a restaurant they often come to. The proprietress is very good at making noodles. Wei Mian packed sugar triangles, rice, and cakes according to everyone's taste.
Sun Aihong is the owner of this restaurant. She has worked at the gate of Qingping University for more than ten years. She enjoys interacting with these energetic college students.
Seeing that Wei Mian only packed the staple food but didn't want any vegetables, she couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you only want the rice and no vegetables? You're already losing weight right after school starts? You're still growing, this won't do. Come, auntie will pack you some vegetables, no charge!"
As he said that, he reached for the disposable lunch box next to him.
The reason why Sun Aihong said this is because she saw many girls losing weight near the university.
Many of them had spent all their living expenses in advance and had no way to ask their families for more, so they used the excuse of losing weight to eat only steamed buns and pickles every day.
They are all young girls, and eating too much is not good for their health. Sun Aihong has children of her own, so she always tries to pack some food for them to supplement their diet.
You can even buy on credit at this restaurant if you don't have money. Just remember to pay it back when you have money.
For this reason, many students affectionately call her Aunt Sun, and are willing to hang out here whenever they have time. Some even stay to help during busy lunch hours.
Wei Mian quickly reached out to stop her, "That's really not necessary, Auntie Sun. School just started, and everyone in the dormitory brought back local specialties, so I just bought some staple food to bring over! It's not that I'm short of money, really!"
Sun Aihong stared at Wei Mian for a few seconds, confirming that what the little girl said might be true. After all, it was the beginning of the new school year, and students should have money.
She smiled and said, "Okay, if you don't have money, don't be polite to Auntie, just come and eat!"
Wei Mian smiled and agreed. She was about to leave with the dry food she had packed. Before leaving, she took out a peace amulet and handed it to the other party, "Aunt Sun, this amulet is for uncle. Remember to drive carefully!"
Sun Aihong was stunned and didn't understand why Wei Mian said this. They were just talking about eating, and the words "drive carefully" were spoken without any context.
However, her husband Cui Guoqiang does drive out every morning to bring back the ingredients needed during the day.
It’s not that there are no vegetables that can be delivered to the door, but Lao Cui said that those are not fresh enough, and the children must eat fresh vegetables. So he doesn’t mind the trouble and goes to the vegetable market every morning to wholesale the freshly picked vegetables.
This time, I was gone for ten years.
Rain or shine.
Sun Aihong was stunned for a moment, but still took the amulet with a smile and put it in her pocket.
"Thank you, Auntie. I'll give it to your Uncle Cui when he comes back!"
After leaving the restaurant, Wei Mian looked at the dry food in his hand and couldn't help but smile.
————
It was a long time before Cui Guoqiang came back from outside.
"Why are you back late today?"
Sun Aihong put the rag in her hand on the table and asked in confusion.
"Don't mention it."
Cui Guoqiang picked up the teacup and gulped down the water. While brushing the dust off his clothes, he said, "Just now, a car hit the curb and flipped over. I helped lift the car!"
"What about the people in the car?" Sun Aihong's eyes widened when she heard this and she asked quickly.
Cui Guoqiang gestured at his head and said, "There's a cut here, and a lot of blood is coming out. I can't see any injuries elsewhere, but he was too scared to move. He was taken away by the ambulance and only the few of us who came to help left."
Sun Aihong breathed a sigh of relief, chanted a Buddhist chant, and then sighed, "When driving, you have to be careful. You must drive slowly and never rush!"
Cui Guoqiang immediately laughed. "Are you telling me this? I've been a driver for many years, and I still don't understand this?"
Sun Aihong snorted, "Then you have to be careful too."
As they were talking, two students came into the store, one wearing red clothes and the other wearing yellow clothes. The colors reminded Sun Aihong of the yellow talisman Wei Mian gave her.
She hurriedly took it out of her pocket and stuffed it into Cui Guoqiang's hand, hurriedly told him to "carry it close to you", and then went to greet the students with a smile.
Cui Guoqiang took a look and found it was a yellow talisman. He wanted to throw it aside, but thinking that it was a token of his wife's love, he kept it in his pocket.
Early the next morning, Cui Guoqiang drove to the vegetable market.
He always sets out at three in the morning to go to the morning market in the north of Qingping City, where most of the vendors sell wholesale vegetables. One of them has his own vegetable shed.
It was still pitch black at this time, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road. There were only three or two cars, most of which were night taxis.
He has been ordering from that brother for many years and they have cooperated many times, but he still needs to see if there is any new product so that he can add a dish on the same day.
He is an experienced driver with decades of driving experience. He has always been a very steady driver and does not drive very fast in the city.
When passing a four-way intersection, Cui Guoqiang saw that there were only three seconds left on the green light and was about to speed up when suddenly, a figure flashed by.
When Cui Guoqiang saw it, he was shocked.
A young girl was walking quickly from the side and was about to collide with the car. Cui Guoqiang was so scared that he slammed the steering wheel and applied the emergency brake.
But at this time the car speed had increased a lot. After slamming on the brakes, Cui Guoqiang's car tilted due to inertia.
However, the advantage of being an experienced driver was reflected at this time. Cui Guoqiang remained calm, and after some operations, the vehicle only scraped against the guardrail for a while before stopping steadily on the side of the road.
Fortunately, there was no major problem, the key is that no one was hit.
Cui Guoqiang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got out of the car to check on the person who was almost hit, but the dark road was empty at this moment. Not to mention people, there were not even any cars.
Cui Guoqiang was startled and felt all the hairs on his body stand up.
He searched around the area for a few times, shouting and yelling, and when he was sure that there was really no one there, he felt even more uneasy.
Although Cui Guoqiang is tall and strong, he is very timid and cannot stand listening to any legends about ghosts.
Cui Guoqiang took out his cell phone with trembling hands and called the police.
His car had an accident and the traffic police had to come to the scene to handle it before he could file an insurance claim.
The traffic police arrived quickly. Cui Guoqiang felt more at ease seeing them. He calmly explained the whole process. However, after the traffic police checked the dashcam in the car, they found that there was no girl crossing the road in the video.
