Among the modes of transportation, Zhao Hong is most reluctant to use long-distance buses, because cars have the highest accident rate, especially in the mountainous areas after snow in the north. In order to avoid accidents, the cars are equipped with snow chains. It's going to be a lot slower.

Today, people who take the car are all Suide, or migrant workers who have gone out to come back, or wanderers who have been out for a long time and go back to their hometowns to visit the elderly. Therefore, at this time, people are more excited, there are many people who know, among them there are also people who know Li Xiaofang, it is Li Xiaofang's classmates who went out to work, but it is the capital, where Suide is closer, and there is no difference in the actual traffic time, and there is a general need for train and car transportation, and it is only after a few years that there is a train that can go directly to Yan'an from the capital.

At present, there is no highway to Suide by bus, and it takes about 10 hours to reach Suide from T, the capital city of S province. This train arrived at night, which is also where Zhao Hong is not at ease.

In his previous life, although Zhao Hong had been on a business trip for many years, he basically went to the east, which had convenient transportation. There are not many people in the west, and all after 2000, when the transportation in the west gradually improved.

So in this era, the difficulty of going to the plateau highway in northern Qin Province is still a bit unexpected by Zhao Hong, entering the mountainous area, the temperature is low, people have covered their coats and other clothes that can be found on their bodies, and the husband and wife also hugged each other tightly to keep warm, Zhao Hong was a little reserved at the beginning, and after the temperature dropped rapidly after 4 hours of departure, he also hugged Li Xiaofang tightly, indeed just for warmth.

The car is really broken on the outside, but the horsepower is full, running back and forth in a zigzag on the climbing road, the eyes can already see the top of the mountain, but the car "squeaks" for more than two hours to finally climb to the top of the mountain. There is an inscription next to it, "Monument to the Huge Traffic Accident of December 28, 1986", and a large red exclamation mark on the side of the mountain reminds people that it is still dangerous. It took nearly three hours to go up the mountain, and it took less than half an hour to get to the edge of a county town when coming down. Zhao Hong's heart is a little bad, the car is going down the hill too fast, the shadows of the trees on the side of the road are blurry, Zhao Hong finally knows what the feeling of "flying fast" is, it is really flying!

In a carriage shop on the edge of the county, people get out of the car to rest.

When Zhao Hong got out of the car, his legs were a little trembling, and he was shaking as he walked. It took a while to recover, Li Xiaofang was much better than him, and Zhao Hong asked her to accompany him in to eat something good to comfort herself.

Li Xiaofang smiled and walked in with Zhao Hong, and saw Li Xiaofang's junior high school classmate, Zhao Hong greeted and sat together, Zhao Hong ordered a few special dishes, and asked for a few bowls of new polenta and pasta. After eating together, and after being less hungry for a while, everyone started chatting.

"You're really amazing, it's only been one semester to get the best woman we have in ten or eight years, good life (beautiful), good brain. Except for being a little powerful, there are no shortcomings. I'm Fan Manwang', Xiaofang's junior high school classmate, just call me Manwang. ”

"I'm Zhao Hong, a college classmate, and now Xiaofang's ......" "Boyfriend!" Li Xiaofang said affirmatively. Zhao Hong was very happy.

It can be seen that Li Xiaofang's classmate has not been too happy when he has been out for a few years, but at least he has a certain amount of exercise, his eloquence is good, black and strong, not tall but very strong.

"Man Wang, how have you been in the last few years? I haven't seen you since I graduated from junior high school. ”

Li Xiaofang's classmate replied,

"In the past few years, I have gone out to wander around blindly, I have done everything, and it is really difficult to be uneducated! The small workers on the construction site, the big workers, picking up the rags, recently worked in a restaurant in our hometown in Qin Province for less than a year, earned some money, and came back on a blind date. ”

"Congratulations, where is the woman, where are we?" Li Xiaofang asked curiously with wide eyes.

"It's Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua, the one who dropped out of junior high school, should be about the same age as you, we met later. Li Xiaofang's classmates were happy, and their faces were full of expectations for happiness.

"There is a vision, Xiaohua is good, but I dropped out of school early, and the family burden is heavy. ”

"Yes, there are few people who can support you to study until now like Uncle Li. But we don't study as well as you. Xiaohua must be willing, but I don't know how much the bride price will cost?"

Zhao Hong also asked curiously, "How much do we need for the bride price here in the past few years?"

"It used to be 3,000 yuan, but in recent years it has risen to 8,000 yuan, which is like selling my daughter!" Man Wang said fiercely.

Hehe, Zhao Hong said in his heart that everyone wants to have a son, but if the bride price is not high, it will be higher and higher.

After eating and drinking hot water, Zhao Hong went to settle the bill, which was twice as expensive as outside. But it's understandable, after all, there are free food, drink and rebates for drivers.

The car set off again after resting for half an hour, and then Zhao Hong came back to life again. The body is warm. There are no mountain roads ahead, and most of them are moving along the river in ravines. After more than five hours, I crossed the Yellow River Bridge, and I got closer and closer to Suide.

Li Xiaofang has begun to be a little excited, she has been away from home for half a year, and she has gone home again, still with a man.

When I entered the county seat, it was already morning, the cold wind of the winter night was biting, and it was dark in the county town inside, only a few swaying street lamps near the bus station. Entering the station, with the arrival of the car, a lot of people suddenly appeared from somewhere, selling snacks, the most are hotel solicitors, thanks to Li Xiaofang has been going to school in the county for many years, otherwise Zhao Hongzhen doesn't know where to rest.

Li Xiaofang's classmates planned to stay in the station until dawn, and then look for a car to go home. Zhao Hong and Li Xiaofang said goodbye to him, Zhao Hong and Li Xiaofang went to a nearby government guest house, where the price is relatively high, but it is also safer and more hygienic.

Went into the guest house, Zhao Hong and Li Xiaofang first asked for a lot of hot water, anyway, at the end of the year, there were not many guests in the guest house, under the premise of not invoices, the waiter gave Zhao Hong and Li Xiaofang a big discount, the money in the standard room lived in a suite, and the water heater can take a bath, it is indeed very unexpected, a typical poor temple rich abbot (home).

After a good night's rest, the next morning, Zhao Hong and Li Xiaofang had breakfast, and went to the station near the station to find a suitable homecoming tractor or carriage, with Li Xiaofang's familiar accent, they quickly found the car home, before lunch, Zhao Hong and Li Xiaofang finally returned to the village where Li Xiaofang's house was located - Li Jiawa.

From the beginning of entering the village, the people who saw Li Xiaofang kept greeting, "The second woman is back." "The second aunt is back!" A variety of titles represent different relationships, including peers, elders, and juniors, and many families in a village are distant or close relatives.

Zhao Hong and Li Xiaofang walked all the way and distributed some trinkets and snacks brought back, especially the White Rabbit toffee is very popular with children, many children follow all the way, and after eating, they hurriedly ask for a piece, the child's cuteness and cleverness are exposed, and they are not embarrassed at all. By the time they arrived at Li Xiaofang's house, they had already followed a large number of people.
