Chapter Eighty-Seven: On the Way Back to the Northeast

Magnolia hesitated and didn't answer. Bai Yuxue turned back from the co-pilot's seat: "Yulan, what's wrong, didn't you wake up, did you?" Ouyang, give it to me, I'll keep it for her first. Thank you. I'm sorry she didn't sleep well yesterday. ”

Magnolia had no choice but to say to Ouyang Shu: "Thank you!"

Ouyang Shu smiled bitterly, saw that the car was about to arrive at Yanyuan, and shouted: "Stop!"

Zhao Enhe hurriedly parked the car on the side of the road, blinked his eyes, and asked strangely: "It's not here yet, why do you park here?"

Ouyang Shu opened the car door, paused, and said, "Take care of yourself on the road!" got out of the car and closed the door, then patted the car and gestured forward with his hand.

Zhao Enhe had no choice but to continue to drive forward and enter Yan Garden.

Mrs. Ouyang had already packed up, Bai Yulan and Bai Yuxue helped Uncle Peng take the old lady's things into the car, and the car drove out of Yanyuan around the fountain and headed towards the station.

Bai Yulan arranged for Mrs. Ouyang and Bai Yuxue to sleep on the lower bunk, and she climbed to the upper bunk by herself. The three of them slept briefly for a while, until the announcement was made that the restaurant was open for breakfast.

Magnolia wanted to go to the restaurant to get some boxed lunches and bring them back, but Mrs. Ouyang said, "Let's go to the dining car to eat, it's fresher." So, she took Mrs. Ouyang to the dining car. Bai Yuxue took the initiative to stay and take care of the luggage.

After ordering two bowls of porridge, two steamed buns and a few plates of side dishes, Magnolia quickly finished eating. The old woman ate very slowly, and Magnolia had to wait.

"Girl, do you have something on your mind? Tell the old woman?"

Magnolia smiled reluctantly: "No, Mrs. Ouyang." ”

"Not yet? Look at that little face, all twitching, looking sad. Don't think too much, people, you always have to go through something to grow up. Don't worry, all unhappiness will pass, forget the past, and you will have a new beginning, right?"

Magnolia had no choice but to reply, "Yes, thank you, ma'am." ”

"Hey, this kid, he doesn't talk much. Forget it, you better go back and let the snow girl come over and have breakfast with me. ”

Bai Yulan hurriedly agreed, "Yes, please use it slowly", and then went back to the box and changed Bai Yuxue to come over for dinner.

After waiting for a long time, Magnolia was almost about to go to the dining car to find them, only to see that the two of them finally returned to the box. Bai Yulan was anxious to let Bai Yuxue take medicine, but she also noticed that Bai Yuxue's eyes were red, and the old lady's eyes were also a little red.

Bai Yulan took out Bai Yuxue's medicine from her bag, took out two pieces, poured them into the bottle cap, and handed them to Bai Yuxue. Bai Yuxue thanked her, took it with water, and handed the bottle cap to Bai Yulan. Magnolia re-receives the pill bottle and pill box into her bag.

"Girl, it's time for me to take my medicine, you go to my bag and take it out, and I'll tell you how much I take. ”

Magnolia hurriedly agreed, went to the small bag that Madame pointed to, and took out the medicine. The lady said, "Half of the white and one of the yellow." ”

Magnolia picked up the instructions of the two medicines, read them carefully, and then used the blade in her bag to cut the white medicine in half, and took half of the slice and handed it to the old lady along with a piece of yellow. The old lady nodded in satisfaction.

A few people lay down on the bunk again, and the old lady chatted with Bai Yuxue about the main landmarks of the town: "I remember that there was a monument in the square in front of the station, which seemed to commemorate an anti-Japanese martyr. ”

Bai Yuxue replied: "It has been moved, and a pedestrian street and a station garden have now been built in front of the station, where many citizens walk, dance and do tai chi in the morning and evening." ”

"Oh, good, good. There's a guest house in front of the station, I wonder if it's still there?"

"All I know is that there is a guest house in our county, near the old dairy. There are now several hostels in front of the station, all of which are self-employed. There is also a national chain. ”

The old woman nodded again and again: "Yes, there will definitely be changes over the years." By the way, I remember that there was a station police station in front of the station, so I guess I moved it too, right?"

This time it was Magnolia who picked it up: "I didn't move, it's still there." Now it's called Zhanqian Street Police Station, which was changed about five years ago. Several police stations in our county are now named after streets, such as Jiefang Street Police Station, Xinsheng Street Police Station or something. ”

"Oh, where is the Public Security Bureau? Is it still next to the Zhanqian Street Police Station?"

"It's gone, it's long gone, and now it's next door to the county government compound, in the same building as the county courthouse, next to the central police station. ”

"Oh, that's it, then the public prosecutor and the law can work together, hehe. ”

Little by little, time passed, and soon, it was time for lunch. This time, without waiting for the two of them to propose, Mrs. Ouyang asked, "Girl, are you hungry?"

Magnolia knew she was asking herself, so she replied, "Not hungry." But the food truck should start serving lunch. ”

"If you're not hungry, just wait in the carriage, I want Xue Yatou to accompany me to dinner, and then, bring it back to you, do you think it's okay?"

When Magnolia heard this, she quickly replied, "Of course you can." I'll take a look at the box. ”

The old lady took Bai Yuxue's hand and hurried away, with an expression as if she was going to catch a long-awaited movie.

The food truck was empty, and there weren't many people.

Mrs. Ouyang ordered a few dishes so-so, and then said to Bai Yuxue anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what happened later?"

Bai Yuxue said: "Later, the doctor diagnosed that my father's leg could not be connected, and it could only be amputated. He could no longer run the boat. ”

"Oh, poor thing. Then your mother and sisters will be miserable. How did you meet that Daqing later?"

"My dad couldn't run the boat anymore, so he helped the boat owner watch his movie room.

"It is said that it is a movie room, that is, a room is opened in the hotel, and those who run the boat and the guests who live in the hotel come to spend two yuan to watch the movie at night, most of which are martial arts movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as some foreign crime-solving and horror films. My dad will put whatever everyone wants.

"Tu Daqing is a rental, and he also sells DVDs, and sometimes he will send some DVDs to his father. I would bring food to my father, and when I met him, he would drive me home or to school, and slowly I would get acquainted, and he would give me a ride on the road.

"A year later, the movie room was closed down, and my dad was arrested by the police. The boss took out a private account of my father and said that the income from the pornographic films put by my father was not handed over to him, and he was completely unaware of it and was not at fault, and he did not pay all the fines. Tu Daqing took out 20,000 yuan to pay a fine and bailed my father out. Since then, I have been selling DVDs with him after class. But making money in this way is too slow, and the money you get is never as much as the money you spend, and there is no way to save money to pay off your debts.

"One day Tu Daqing came to me and said that there was a big business, as long as I was willing, I could earn Wu Qianyuan at once. I was 15 years old at the time, but I knew that it wasn't a good thing to take that kind of picture, but there was no way, I had to pay off my debts, and my sister was supposed to go to school. With the first time, there will be a second time, and slowly, I have no sense of shame, more and more presumptuous, more and more explicit. …”

Bai Yuxue cried and couldn't say any more. Mrs. Ouyang stood up, walked to the opposite side, sat beside her, took her hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and kept sighing and sighing.

When the rice and vegetables were served, Mrs. Ouyang handed the chopsticks to her and said, "Eat quickly, eat more." After eating, I will buy some for Lan Yatou and take it back. Snow girl, as soon as I saw you, I knew that you were a kind person, and you would not lie to others for no reason. Don't worry, tell me slowly, and say everything in your heart. Eat it. ”

The old lady returned to her seat, gave Bai Yuxue a few chopsticks and dishes, and said slowly: "When I was 15 years old, I had just arrived in Shaanxi from Beijing and responded to the call to go to the countryside to farm. But the crops in the field are not ripe, and they can't eat it, so they are hungry and get up in the middle of the night to drink cold water. At that time, if there was such white rice, such a dish, then you would have to break your head and rush to eat it, and you could still push me so politely? There would be nothing in the blink of an eye, haha..."

Bai Yuxue couldn't eat it, but when she heard the old lady say this, she couldn't help laughing and ate it little by little.

The old lady said while eating: "That Lan girl's family background is okay, right?"

Yes, she is the only child in her family, and her parents both work in the dairy, although the income is not high, but it is enough to make a living. If it weren't for me, Magnolia would have been able to get into a good university. By the way, Yulan doesn't seem to want to go back to Shanghai anymore, and she doesn't want to participate in the training in Hong Kong. Maybe I'm too worried about her mother. ”

"Training in Hong Kong?"

"Yes, our company chose Hong Kong for overseas training this year, and went to an on-the-job training college of a university, about a year, and I need an exam to get in. Ouyang specially asked Yulan to bring the computer, and also helped her get the real exam questions and review materials, which were specially sent over in the morning. But I don't think Magnolia necessarily looks at it. ”

The old woman's eyes darkened, and she sighed quietly. She knew her sons too well, and she wondered why Ah Shu didn't come to the station, but it turned out that she had already sent them. The reason why she wants to take Magnolia away is because she can only control the situation by keeping Magnolia by her side, and she will never allow the feelings of her two sons to be hurt for the sake of a woman. Now that they are older and more capable, as long as they are on earth, there is no place they can't find and can't go, and the process of searching will cause their uncertain feelings to be firm. It's better to put Magnolia by your side and become a relationship close to brother and sister, everyone is polite and polite, and slowly rein in their feelings, and this little episode will pass. The general environment in Hong Kong will also slowly wear away the youthfulness, simplicity and childishness of Magnolia, and gradually lose its attraction to the two brothers.

"Don't worry, I will persuade her to learn, and I will also bring her to Hong Kong so that she can have a better development. By the way, Snow Girl, you can also go with you! Why don't you also get your documents and go with me. ”

Bai Yuxue's eyes turned red: "How can I have such a good life as Magnolia." I don't plan to go back again when I come back this time, I have to wait for him, anyway, it won't be long, it's only two years. ”
