The location of the family compound is very advantageous. As soon as you walk out the door, you will see a main street.
However, the street here is very different from that in Chuxia's previous life. There are no busy cars and no urban beauties rushing to work.
There are not many cars or bicycles on the street, because it is not a time for people to go to work. There are only people wearing black and blue factory uniforms, with a few people wearing bright clothes in between, walking hand in hand on the road, talking and laughing.
The houses on both sides of the road are all red or gray brick houses, the highest is no more than three or four stories high, and most of them are one or two stories high.
There are a lot of trees, and they are very tall, and there is no planning. There are willows, poplars, and tung trees, growing very wildly.
Chuxia walked in front. In addition to observing the surrounding environment, she also paid attention to Cen Huaian who was following behind her.
He walked with his head down in a muffled voice, and no one knew what he was thinking.
At this time, a bicycle came quickly from behind, and the young man on the bicycle let go of the handlebars to show off his riding skills.
Suddenly, the bicycle hit a small stone with a bang, and the handlebars were out of control in an instant. The young man screamed "Ah! Ah! Ah!" with a terrified look on his face, and was about to hit the stone.
Chu Xia was quick to pull Cen Huaian to her side, and the young man fell headfirst into a hole in the earth on the side of the road, and his head hit the tree with a "bang".
At that moment, Chu Xia felt a little pain in her head. But she didn't sympathize with the young man at all.
She lowered her head to see Cen Huaian's situation. No matter how precocious he was, he was still a five-year-old kid. He was almost hit by a car and was scared. He stood there with a pale face.
Chu Xia wanted to check if he had been touched, but Cen Huaian dodged her hand with confusion in his eyes.
His mother actually saved him instead of being scared and crying. This was something that the five-year-old An An couldn't understand.
He always felt that his mother seemed a little different from before, but he didn't know what was different.
Chu Xia didn't care about Cen Huaian's actions. She walked over with a cold face and kicked the young man's butt: "Is there something wrong?"
The young man looked up and saw a very thin but still very beautiful woman. His face turned red, and he felt ashamed and embarrassed.
He covered his head and shook his head quickly, saying, "No... nothing."
Chu Xia didn't care whether he was okay or not, she just said, "Since you're okay, then stand up and apologize to my son. Do you know that if I hadn't been quick, you would have bumped into him! Look at my son's thin body, it would have been terrible if he had bumped into him!"
The young man was young and was just trying to be cool, and he was scared when he almost bumped into someone.
After Chu Xia said this, and then looked at her and Cen Huaian's appearance, his face turned even redder, and he felt ashamed and couldn't help but feel scared.
If he really bumped into someone and something happened, he would never get over it psychologically.
"I'm sorry!" He immediately stood up and bowed firmly.
Chu Xia was shocked by him. She thought that if the young man was a gangster who was not easy to mess with and didn't apologize, she would cry like she did to Wang Yulan before.
This area is the site of the third textile factory, and she is a worker there.
He almost hit someone. If he didn't apologize, or even acted more arrogantly, the people in the factory would have drowned the young man with their spit, and then they would have sent him to the police station.
I didn't expect him to apologize so quickly.
Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Chu Xia didn't forgive him, nor did she give him a good look.
"What's the use of saying sorry? If you really hit someone, it will be too late to say sorry. Look at how scared my son is? He is already thin. If anything happens to him, your life will not be enough!"
Cen Huaian looked too scary. The young man had never seen anyone look like this since he was a child. He was too thin, and he looked like he was really scared.
He was scared and panicked, and he was totally at a loss: "Then...what should I do?"
Chu Xia looked at him and said, "Now you are scared, why didn't you think about how dangerous what you did was? My son is in this condition now, at least he should go to the hospital to see a doctor. He is young and easily frightened. Even if he is fine, he needs to calm down."
Chu Xia thought that the young man should remember this lesson, so as not to ride so recklessly. If he hits a fragile old man or child, it will really cause serious injuries. If the collision is in the wrong place, it may also kill the person. When the young man heard
about going to the hospital, he panicked even more. Wouldn't going to the hospital make things worse? His parents would beat him to death if they knew.
He dug into his pocket, took out a piece of money, and quickly stuffed it into Chu Xia's hand: "Take the money and take him to the hospital. This must be enough. I have something urgent to do, so I'm leaving first!"
After that, he rode his bicycle and ran away quickly, as if someone was chasing him.
Chu Xia watched the young man run away speechlessly. She just said to go to the hospital, and didn't say that she cheated him of money. Was he so scared that he ran so fast?
"See, this is your compensation." Chu Xia took the money and threw it in front of Cen Huaian, "Don't be stupid next time. Don't know how to dodge when a car hits you."
His money!
Cen Huaian's eyes lit up, and Chu Xia saw the familiar hungry wolf's eyes again, and she quickly retracted her hand.
Cen Huaian didn't take the money.
"Mine!" Cen Huaian stared at the money in Chu Xia's hand, obviously waiting for the next opportunity to snatch it, just like a tiger or leopard in the wild that has spotted its prey.
"It's someone else's compensation for your medical treatment. But children can't take so much money, or they will be robbed. I'll keep it for you and buy you a candy a day. No, children will get bad teeth if they eat too much candy, so one candy every two days."
Cen Huaian lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes were emotionless and very cold.
He knew that this was still his mother, exactly the same as before, and she would coax him.
But candy, Cen Huaian thought of the candy wrappers thrown by the children in the yard. When he picked them up and licked them secretly, they were so sweet.
He only had it that once. Later, when they saw him licking the candy wrappers, they scolded and beat him. They stepped on the candy wrappers in front of him and refused to give them to him.
Cen Huaian glanced at Chuxia secretly, he wanted to eat candy.
The state-owned hotel was not far from the family compound, and soon Chuxia saw the four big red characters "State-owned Hotel" that were very characteristic of the era.
On both sides were eight more big characters "Hard work, self-reliance", thicker, redder, and square.
Chuxia walked in first, and saw Cen Huaian still standing outside. Just as she was about to pull him in, he followed her.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw a small blackboard with what meals were served today.
Looking inside, it was quite clean, but also very simple, with only simple tables and chairs.
The wall, which was originally painted with only a layer of white lime, has turned yellow. There is a black fan hanging above the head, but it is not turned on even though it is so hot now.
There happened to be hot noodles today, so Chu Xia walked to the front and ordered two bowls, one large and one small, and paid the money and the food coupons.
When she turned around, she saw Cen Huaian looking at a person who was eating noodles, his eyes were shining at the noodles, and he kept swallowing his saliva.
She pulled him to sit down.
Cen Huaian didn't say anything, and he didn't react when she pulled him.
"I bought it, and you can eat it in a while."
Sitting there, Chu Xia was panting and wiping the sweat off her face with a handkerchief.
Seeing that the sweat on Cen Huaian's face was about to drip into his eyes but he didn't react, she stood up and wiped his face with a handkerchief.
Cen Huaian didn't dodge, frowned and looked at Chuxia.
Chuxia didn't see it, because she had already looked at the window for getting food, eagerly waiting for the food to come.
It's not far from the family compound to here, less than ten minutes away, she felt particularly tired and even hungrier, which shows how weak her body is.
Otherwise, she wouldn't want to eat the same hot stewed noodles on such a hot day.
In fact, she and Cen Huaian are both in poor health, and eating hot noodles is the best for the two of them. Otherwise, if they just buy big fish and meat, the two of them will vomit and have diarrhea after eating, and their stomachs can't bear it.
No, health is the most important.
After dinner, she took Cen Huaian to the hospital for a physical examination, and bought various nutritional supplements and medicinal herbs to nourish the body.
The noodles were ready quickly.
It was stewed noodles with bone soup, and Chuxia smelled the fragrance as soon as she put it down.
The soup was white like jade, and there were no extra side dishes in it, only a little meat on the bones, some black fungus, coriander, bean sprouts, and a few red wolfberries.
But it was already so fragrant that Chuxia felt her saliva secreted just by looking at it.
