When the silence in the cab was broken, the two quickly became acquainted, Wu Aiguo introduced himself to Ma Meifang, and learned that Ma Meifang was working in Chaoyang Street.

Ma Meifang returned to Baoding, mainly because her mother's family suddenly sent a telegram, saying that her father was unwell, so he would ask for leave to return to Baoding.

Chatting and chatting, before I knew it, it was already twelve o'clock at noon, Wu Aiguo, who felt a little hungry, saw that there was just a vacant lot on the side of the road, so he parked the car on the side of the road and said to Ma Meifang with a smile: "Sister Meifang! It's almost time for lunch, so let's rest here for a while, and then cook something to eat."

When Ma Meifang heard Wu Aiguo's words, she hurriedly said to Wu Aiguo, "Patriotic brother! I've brought dry food, so you don't have to worry about me."

When Wu Aiguo heard Ma Meifang's words, he replied with a smile, "Sister Meifang! We can get to know each other, that's fate, besides, I have a lot of food in the car, and I'll set up a pot on the side of the road later, and I can eat it as soon as it's hot."

When Wu Aiguo said this, he immediately pushed the car door, first found two stones on the side of the road, and pressed against the rear wheels of the pickup truck on both sides to prevent the car from slipping away.

Then, under the cover of the carriage, he took out an iron pot and two lunch boxes from the still world, and said to Ma Meifang, who was standing on the side of the road, "Sister Meifang! I'll build a simple stove out of stones first, and you can go around and see if you can pick up some firewood and come back."

Ma Meifang saw that Wu Aiguo's words were all about this, and she didn't insist on her thoughts anymore, so she went to the roadside grove to pick up branches.

Wu Aiguo used three stones to build a simple earthen stove, then put the iron pot into the earthen stove, poured a little water into the pot, and put the two lunch boxes into the iron pot.

It didn't take long for Ma Meifang to pick up a large pile of branches and walk out of the grove, Wu Aiguo immediately stepped forward, took the branch from the other party's hand, and began to light a hot meal.

Taking advantage of the hot dishes, Wu Aiguo took out two small horses and a small square table from the carriage, swung them into the open space next to the car, and greeted Ma Meifang with a smile: "Sister Meifang! You come here first, and when the steamed buns and vegetables are hot, we can start eating."

It didn't take long for the steamed buns and vegetables to be hot, Wu Aiguo brought the two lunch boxes to the small square table, and the moment the lunch boxes were opened, a smell of meat immediately came out of the lunch box, making Ma Meifang, who was sitting on the maza, swallow her saliva instinctively.

Wu Aiguo saw Ma Meifang's reaction to swallowing saliva, pretended not to see it, opened another lunch box, and said to Ma Meifang with a smile, "Sister Meifang! This pork belly was just cooked this morning, and when eaten with steamed buns, the taste is absolutely amazing!"

Although Ma Meifang works in the street office, the husband and wife only have a monthly meat quota of four taels, and because of this, Ma Meifang has not eaten meat for more than half a month.

Ma Meifang looked at the braised pork in a big lunch box in front of her, smelled the aroma of meat emanating from the lunch box, and heard Wu Aiguo's words, and said to Wu Aiguo with some embarrassment: "Patriotic! I brought something to eat myself, so you might as well keep this meat for yourself, right?" ….

Wu Aiguo heard Ma Meifang's answer, saw Ma Meifang's salivating expression, and said to Ma Meifang with a smile, "Sister Meifang! It's such a hot day, if you don't eat this box of pork belly, it will definitely be a riot tomorrow, so you can take it as a help to me and help me get rid of some of it!"

When Ma Meifang heard Wu Aiguo's words, how could she not understand, Wu Aiguo said polite words, looking at the colorful and fragrant pork belly in the lunch box, Ma Meifang swallowed her saliva and said to Wu Aiguo with a smile: "Patriotic! Since you said so, then I won't be polite to you."

When Wu Aiguo heard Ma Meifang's words, he replied with a smile, "Sister Meifang! Don't be polite to me, let's quickly fill our stomachs, and then when we are on our way, we can go to Yi County and find a guest house to settle down."

In this way, the two of them ate and chatted, and soon wiped out the steamed buns and braised pork in the lunch box, Ma Meifang helped Wu Aiguo pack up all the things, and then sat in Wu Aiguo's car and continued on the road.

The small truck was speeding on the road at a speed of thirty or forty kilometers per hour, until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, when the scene of congestion in front of him made Wu

Patriot had to stop the car.

Wu Aiguo looked at the carriage and truck parked on the road in front of him, and immediately realized that something must have happened ahead.

Wu Aiguo parked the car, pushed the car door, came to several middle-aged people standing on the side of the road smoking, and asked politely, "How many masters! What's going on up front of this?"

Several middle-aged people who were chatting heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, and one of them replied with a smile, "Little comrade! There was a road collapse in front of me, and although the people from the road administration department were already rushing to repair it, I am afraid that it would not be repaired for a while."

Wu Aiguo couldn't help frowning when he heard the news of the road collapse, according to his plan, he could just rush to Yixian County tonight to spend the night, and now this traffic jam means that this night, they can only spend the night in the wilderness.

If Wu Aiguo is just a person, spending the night in the wilderness, naturally there is no problem, and now there is a Ma Meifang sitting in his car, in this special era, lonely men and widows spend the night in the wilderness, which may cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

Wu Aiguo thought of this question, his brows furrowed tightly, and he thanked the middle-aged man with a smile: "Comrade! Thank you!"

After Wu Aiguo thanked the middle-aged man, he walked back to the pick-up truck, and Ma Meifang, who got out of the car and moved her muscles, asked Wu Aiguo curiously, "Patriotism! What's going on up ahead, how can there be so many cars parked here?"

Wu Aiguo heard Ma Meifang's inquiry, and replied helplessly, "Sister Meifang! There is a collapse on the road ahead, and the people from the road administration department are rushing to repair it, and I am afraid that I will not be able to walk for a while."

When Ma Meifang heard Wu Aiguo's introduction, she was obviously stunned, and hurriedly asked Wu Aiguo, "Patriotism! How long will it take for this road to pass, and can we get to Yi County tonight?"

Wu Aiguo heard Ma Meifang's inquiry, calculated for a while in his heart, and opened his mouth to introduce Ma Meifang: "Sister Meifang! If the road can be restored within an hour, we will definitely be able to rush to Yi County tonight, if it can't be repaired within an hour, we can only spend the night in the wilderness tonight."

When Ma Meifang heard the news that Wu Aiguo said that she might have to spend the night in the wilderness, she immediately secretly regretted it in her heart, regretting that she wanted to save the money for the train ticket.

At this moment, Ma Meifang can only pray that the road department can repair the road as soon as possible, so that they don't have to spend the night in the wilderness.
