Before dawn the next day, Xu Fan and his elder brother came over in a ox cart.
He also brought a clay pot of chicken soup and a dozen meat buns.
"Gu Fangxun said helplessly: "You're making chicken soup and meat buns. Didn't you sleep well last night? Were you busy all night?"
"Go to bed. I made this this morning. Your sister-in-law made the dumplings and I cooked the chicken soup."
What Xu Fan didn't say was that he beat his wife severely when he got home last night.
He also said that she would no longer be allowed to take care of household affairs in the future, and she could only go to work and let the two children learn to cook.
The woman became obedient immediately after being beaten. When asked to kill chickens and make dumplings, she did it without even daring to complain.
After having breakfast in the guesthouse, Gu Fangxun brought his two children with him, while Xu Fan helped him carry his luggage.
"Are you going directly to the Northwestern Military Region by train?"
Gu Fangxun shook his head and said, "I have to go to Wenshan City first, and then report to the military district."
"You want to go to Wenshan City? Then just take a bus. There is a bus that goes directly to Wenshan City. It only takes three or four hours. It seems that there is one bus every day, and it leaves at 8:30 in the morning."
Gu Fangxun looked at his watch. It was just seven o'clock. There was plenty of time. "Okay, let's take the bus."
Xu Gui drove a ox cart to take them to the bus station.
Xu Fan bought tickets for them and helped carry their luggage to the car.
After the car drove away, I drove the ox cart back with my elder brother feeling disappointed.
When Han Zhenyu and Li Shaohua arrived at Wenshan Locomotive Factory, it was just time to get off work.
Some workers walked, some rode bicycles, and swarmed out of the factory.
Today, each of them drove a truck and waited until all the workers had left before handing the documents to the security staff.
"It's time to get off work now, and we can't find anyone to receive the goods. Why don't you go to the cafeteria to eat first, and when we get to work, I will immediately notify the warehouse to unload the goods." The people from the Security Department saw that they were from Nanping Machinery Factory and came to deliver machines, so they were very polite.
Han Zhenyu took out a cigarette from his pocket, gave him one, and said politely, "Okay, thank you comrade."
The man took the cigarette and his attitude became even more enthusiastic than before. "Of course, of course. You came all the way to deliver the machine to our factory, and I'm sorry to make you wait here."
"You're welcome. We are all serving the people."
Han Zhenyu chatted with him for a few words and was about to call Li Shaohua to eat.
I saw him jumping out of the car with a big bag in his hand.
"My second aunt knows that I'm coming to the city, so she asked me to bring some things to her sister. You can come with me to deliver it. It's a good opportunity to have a meal at her house."
Han Zhenyu waved his hand and said, "You go by yourself. I'll go around the neighborhood."
"Okay then." Li Shaohua took two steps and whispered, "Be careful when you go out. There are a lot of pickpockets at the bus station next door. Watch your pockets."
Han Zhenyu nodded, "Got it, go quickly, you have to be back before 2:30, you have to hurry back after unloading the goods."
"Yeah, okay."
After he left, Han Zhenyu took his lunch box and went to the cafeteria of the locomotive factory.
Seeing that there was a long queue inside, he turned around and walked out, preparing to go to the state-owned restaurant to buy two steamed buns.
Gu Fangxun got out of the car in a panic, carrying two children and two large bags of luggage.
Both children were carsick, but An An was better. He fell asleep soon after getting on the car, and vomited when he woke up halfway.
Chenchen vomited all the way, and now his shoulders and chest were covered with vomit.
Although he wiped it with clothes, Chenchen vomited again just now.
"Uncle, I feel so uncomfortable. I want to drink water." Chenchen said weakly, lying on his back.
Gu Fangxun immediately walked to the side of the road, put down the luggage, and then placed his sleeping niece on the bag.
He put Chenchen on the ground and opened the military canteen. "Chenchen, the water is not very hot. Drink a little to moisten your throat. I will take you to buy delicious food later."
Chenchen shook his head and said, "Uncle, I don't want to eat anything."
Gu Fangxun felt very uncomfortable and touched his head distressedly, "Okay, let's not eat it for now. Uncle will buy it when Chenchen wants to eat it."
Han Zhenyu bought three steamed buns at a nearby restaurant and was about to eat them in his car.
I saw two people, one big and one small, squatting on the side of the road, and a little girl was sleeping on the bag next to them.
Han Zhenyu didn't pay attention at first, but when he passed by them, he heard the conversation between Gu Fangxun and Chenchen.
He thought the voice was familiar, so he turned around and took a look.
Why does it feel like this person looks like the one who taught him how to drive a year ago?
But the young man was full of vigor and vitality at that time, and he was completely different from the embarrassed state he is now.
Gu Fangxun also noticed the person behind him. He turned around cautiously and was slightly stunned when he saw Han Zhenyu.
Han Zhenyu was sure it was him and immediately asked, "Comrade Gu, why are you here?"
When Gu Fangxun taught him how to drive last year, the two got along very well. Although they only spent one day together, they left a good impression on each other.
Han Zhenyu knew that Gu Fangxun was not married yet, so he was a little surprised to see him raising two children alone, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Gu Fangxun also recognized him and said with a smile: "Han Zhenyu, what a coincidence, I went to Pingnan County to do something, why are you here too?"
“I’m here to deliver the goods.”
When Han Zhenyu heard him say he was going to Pingnan County, and saw that he was carrying so many things by himself, and had two children, he asked, "Are you in a hurry? If not, why don't you take my car back? We'll leave around four o'clock."
It takes about two hours to get from here to Pingnan County, and we can arrive at around six or seven in the evening.
Gu Fangxun thought for a moment and said, "Han Zhenyu, thank you for your help."
Han Zhenyu smiled and shook his head. "Comrade Gu, you are too polite. You helped me arrange my work. If anyone wants to thank you, it should be me."
"This is nothing. You saved my sister and brother-in-law's lives. How can a job make up for this?" Speaking of his sister and brother-in-law who were imprisoned, Gu Fangxun was a little depressed.
As the two were talking, Jiang Lichen, who was squatting next to them, began to dry heave again.
Gu Fangxun quickly squatted down and patted his back, "Chenchen, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"Uncle, I'm fine." Although Jiang Lichen felt very uncomfortable, he was afraid that his uncle would worry, so he shook his head obediently.
At this time Jiang Yun'an also woke up, she whined and said, "Mom, An'an is hungry."
Gu Fangxun quickly hugged her and coaxed her, "Be good, An An, uncle will take you to dinner right away."
Seeing him frantically taking care of the two children, with vomit on his body, Han Zhenyu said quickly, "We still have several hours before departure. Why don't you find a guesthouse first, where you can rest for a while, and I'll pick you up when we leave."
"Okay, thank you for your help then."
Han Zhenyu tucked the lunch box under his armpit, helped him lift the two large bags on the ground and said, "There is a guesthouse nearby. I'll take you there."
Gu Fangxun nodded, didn't bother to be polite with him, and followed him with the two children in his arms.
