Chapter 9: Once a Good Friend

Saturday, 16 September 2000.

On the shuttle bus from Baizhou County to Qingsha Town, Megumi Yanagishita slept soundly with her head up.

......

Yanagishita's hometown, Bainiu Town, is a very backward town, because of the awkward geographical location, in 2000, there was no shuttle bus to the county seat in the town.

If people in Bainiu Town want to go to the county seat, they can only take the shuttle bus from Qingsha Town next door to the county seat.

This is the reason why Hui Liuxia returned to his hometown of Bainiu Town, but took the shuttle bus to Qingsha Town.

......

In order not to delay his white-cut chicken business, before preparing to return to his hometown, Yanagishita Huitian got up before dawn to work, boiled water and killed chickens to make dipping sauce, and then rushed to the station to take the train when everything was done.

When it's time to go out of the stall, my sister will naturally come out of the stall for him, which was already said yesterday.

Because I got up too early today, I couldn't wait to start catching up on sleep as soon as I got in the car.

Megumi Yanashita was awakened by the sound of violent vomiting, and as soon as he opened his eyes, a very disgusting sour smell came to his nose, and he almost didn't vomit.

It was the aunt who was sitting with him who vomited, and the other party was sticking his head out of the car window and vomiting.

Yanagishita Megumi didn't even need to look outside the car, just looking at the shaking degree of the shuttle, he knew that the shuttle bus had returned to the area of Bainiu Town.

Because from the county seat back to his hometown, most of the roads are the second-class road with excellent quality that has just been completed in the first half of the year, and only when he enters the area of Bainiu Town will he take this dilapidated fourth-class highway.

This dilapidated road with "nine turns and eighteen turns", if Yanagishita Megumi remembers correctly, will not be built into a third-class road until the year after tomorrow, and then until he is reborn, it is still only a third-class road.

Of course, when Yanagishita Megumi was reborn, the county had already set up a project to build this road into a secondary road.

However, that was already in 2020, and Megumi Yanagishita couldn't see it anyway.

"When you get to Shantang, do you get off the bus?"

When Megumi Yanagishita lamented the highway in his hometown, the conductor in the car began to shout loudly.

This is also a local specialty, every time the shuttle bus passes through a village or town, the conductor on the bus will shout a few times, so that no one will overseat the bus because they are sleeping or not paying attention.

"There's a down at that intersection ahead!"

After the conductor shouted, someone immediately responded.

At this time, the aunt who was sitting with Megumi Yanagishita had almost vomited, leaning her head against the car window like a dead dog, and didn't want to move.

Seeing this, Yanagishita Hui took out a tissue and handed it over, and said, "Auntie, wipe it, you are also going to Bainiu Town, it will be about ten minutes or so, you can hold on a little longer!"

The aunt took the tissue and wiped her mouth, thanked her weakly, and then stopped talking.

She has had more times of motion sickness, and her experience is also rich, knowing that talking or moving around at this time may cause vomiting again, and the taste of this can only be experienced by people like her.

Yanashita Hui's mother is also a serious person with motion sickness, basically she will vomit when she rides in the car, and she has seen a lot since she was a child, so he naturally knows how uncomfortable motion sickness is.

"Auntie, the next time you take the car, you try to buy a pack of melon seeds, you must buy the kind of melon seeds that smell strong and last for a long time, such as spiced melon seeds.

When I was in the car, I tore open a hole in the melon seeds, and then stuffed my nose into it and smelled it until I got off the car, and the effect was really good (this is the author's personal experience, very effective, book friends with motion sickness, you can try it).

This method is my mother inadvertently groped out, because she is also sick and dizzy, I don't know how many methods have been tried, until I used this method, it has greatly alleviated the pain of motion sickness, auntie, you can try it next time you take the car!"

Auntie was stunned when she heard this, can smelling melon seeds cure motion sickness?

"Young man, does this method you said really work?"

Megumi Yanagishita nodded and smiled: "It's really effective, anyway, including my mother, several people have tried it, even if it can't completely solve the problem of motion sickness, it can greatly alleviate the symptoms of motion sickness!"

When the aunt who had been troubled by motion sickness heard this, she couldn't help but feel refreshed, and hurriedly said: "In this way, then I will definitely try it next time I take the car, if it really works, you will really help me a lot!"

"It should work, you're not feeling well now, I won't tell you more, lest you feel uncomfortable again for a while!"

"You're so nice, young man, thank you!"

......

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the shuttle bus arrived at Bainiu Town on time, just as Yanagishita Megumi had expected.

After all, it is a polder town, and three or four people got off one after another, including the motion sickness aunt who sat with Yanagishita Hui, and the aunt expressed her gratitude to Yanagishita Hui again before getting off the car.

After Megumi Yanagishita waved his hand and said you're welcome, he looked intently at the street building on the right, because less than fifty meters in front of him was the Luofook Hotel opened by his family, and it had been twenty years since he saw this signboard again (Megumi Yanashita was at the third uncle's house in Yushi when he was reborn), Megumi Yanagishita's heart was full of emotion.

When the shuttle bus passed by the back door of the hotel, the sharp-eyed Yanagishita Megumi saw her busy mother at a glance.

At this time, my mother was only 37 years old, which is still very young compared to 20 years later.

Passing through the restaurant at home, it is the gas station of Bainiu Town, and after the gas station is the town No. 1 Middle School, and the oil press shop of Guan Chunzhi's family is diagonally opposite the town No. 1 Middle School.

"It's here!"

As the conductor's shout sounded, the shuttle bus also stopped in time, and Megumi Yanagishita immediately got up and got off the bus.

......

Oil mills.

Guan Chunzhi was holding a bag of peanut dregs.

This peanut dregs are also called peanut cakes, which are the slag left over after peanuts are pressed for oil.

This thing is also a good thing for the countrymen, it can be fed to pigs like feed, it can also be used as fertilizer to fertilize fruit trees, and even eaten directly as a snack, which is also quite fragrant.

Guan Chunzhi put the peanut dregs with a blank expression, and then sat in the store and began to be in a daze.

It has been more than a year since he graduated from junior high school, and he helps clean up peanut dregs during the day and looks after the store at night.

When his good friend Megumi Yanashita was there, it was fine, but when it was time for him to look at the store by himself in the evening, Megumi Yanashita came over to read a novel with him. The two usually buy one or two yuan of eight-treasure porridge and one dollar of sugar, and while boiling eight-treasure porridge for supper, they talk about the colorful world of novels.

But since Yanagishita Hui went to study in the city after school started, Guan Chunzhi has felt very bored these days.

I don't have to read the novel, just the small number of martial arts novels at the Cultural Station (the name of the novel shop), Guan Chunzhi has already read them in the past two years, like the works of the two masters of Jin Gu, as well as the most popular legendary series at the moment, he and Yanagi Hui have read it more than once.

"Comrade, what are you doing?"

Just when Guan Chunzhi was alone in a daze, a familiar voice suddenly came.

Guan Chunzhi turned his head to look at it and found that it was really his good friend Yanagi Hui, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Old Liu, didn't you go to the city to study? Why did you come back again?"

Comrade, is the nickname of Guan Chunzhi.

Lao Liu is the nickname of Megumi Yanashita.

Megumi Yanagishita smiled: "I came back to you on purpose!"

As she spoke, Megumi Yanashita silently looked at her good friend who she hadn't seen for more than ten years.

He has dark skin, is not tall, and looks ordinary, still the same as in his memory.

"Came back to me on purpose?"

Guan Chunzhi's eyes were confused for a while, and he asked casually, "What's the situation?"

"Yes, I do have something I want you to help with, are you free now?"

"Of course there is, today is not a polder day, there is not much to live, I will tell my eldest brother, let's go outside and talk!"

"Okay, then let's go to No. 1 Middle School!"

"Hmm!"
