Chapter 56: The county town met by chance

After reassuring Liu Mancang, Zhang Chao got on the tractor of villager Shuqiang and went straight to the town.

When he rushed to the town in a hurry, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and at this moment, the bus from the town to the county seat was only the last bus, and it had already left the station and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Zhang Chao didn't wait for the villager Shuqiang to stop the tractor, so he jumped out of the car directly, waved to the bus and ran, and shouted to the villager Shuqiang without looking back: "Brother Shuqiang, the bus is about to leave, you drive slower on the way back, you have to give me a trip." ”

Although he got on the bus in a hurry, he did not forget the purpose of the trip, and after getting on the bus, he directly found a position close to the conductor and sat down, and then talked with the conductor's eldest sister, wanting to know whether he saw Gao Shuangquan and Gao Guoli's father and daughter on the bus that departed to the county seat in the morning.

Zhang Chao briefly described it, and then showed the photos of Gao Shuangquan and Gao Guoli's father and daughter to the eldest sister of the conductor, and the eldest sister of the ticket seller really recognized them.

"Little brother, you're really inquiring. There are only two buses on this route from this town to the county seat, and each one goes back and forth twice a day. I really have the impression that the two people you asked really happened to be on the morning shift in our car. If you were in another car, I wouldn't know if you asked me. ”

"That's great, big sister, do you remember where they scared the car? Or, have you heard them say where they're going? ”

This ticketing elder sister is chubby, very approachable, and her personality is the same, and she is still enthusiastic about Zhang Chao's continued inquiry: "Don't say it, I really heard some of what you asked." I remember that the little girl was very unhappy at that time, and his father said that he would take her to the Yuexianglong restaurant in the county town to eat delicious food, and said that she would never have to go back to the mountain village to suffer in the future. Later, the father and daughter really got out of the car at the door of the Yue Xianglong Hotel and entered the hotel. I see that this little girl's father cares for her, and he is really a good father. That girl is also smart and smart, and if she can go out of the mountain village to the county seat, she will definitely be more productive in the future. ”

Listening to the words of the fat eldest sister who sold tickets, Zhang Chao couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "If only it was really like what this ticketing sister said, then Gao Shuangquan looked good, and said that he was actually a gambler." And he is an unqualified father, son, and a big gambler who only cares about gambling money! ”

Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Chao to say these to the eldest sister who sells tickets, and then leaked a smile of thanks: "Eldest sister, thank you, I will also get off at the Yue Xianglong Hotel you said in the county, please remind me when you arrive." ”

"That's fine, I'll call you in advance then."

After Zhang Chao returned to his seat, he looked out the window at the tender green willow trees on the side of the road that had already shown spring, he didn't have the heart to appreciate these, because he was still thinking about what the ticketing sister said to him just now.

In the opinion of the ticketing sister, Gao Shuangquan is a good father who feels sorry for his daughter, in fact, it is not to blame that the ticketing sister is not allowed to see people, mainly because she took her daughter to the hotel, and also said that she would not let her daughter suffer in the village.

And at this moment, Zhang Chao fully knows Gao Shuangquan's roots, and he knows that Gao Shuangquan is likely to be sent to the black workshop when he takes Gao Guoli to the county seat, and then thinks about taking Gao Guoli to the restaurant called Yue Xianglong to eat delicious food, all this completely changes the taste.

Zhang Chao is already anxious in his heart at the moment, this Gao Shuangquan took Gao Guoli to the hotel, which is nothing more than two possibilities.

The first is that Gao Shuangquan is ready to send his biological daughter Gao Guoli to the black workshop to suffer, in his heart that is not completely inhumane, he still has some self-blame and uneasiness, so he takes his daughter to the restaurant in advance to eat a delicious meal, which can be regarded as making up for Gao Guoli's comfort, and it can make him feel at ease.

And the second is that Gao Shuangquan took his daughter Gao Guoli directly to the Yuexianglong Hotel, which may also be directly to meet the owner of the black workshop who was going to hire Gao Guoli.

These two possibilities, no matter which one they are, are what Zhang Chao does not want to see, because these two possibilities, they are both Hongmen banquets, and they are both to push Gao Guoli into the fire pit.

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhang Chao's brows furrowed more and more, and he couldn't wait to fly to the county seat immediately, find Gao Guoli, and rescue her from Gao Shuangquan, the gambler demon father, and the owner of the black workshop.

And it is precisely because of this mood that Zhang Chao is very uncomfortable living on this bus, and he even couldn't help but ask the conductor a few times how long it will take to get to the county seat and the Yuexianglong Hotel.

Speaking of this Yue Xiang Long Hotel, I don't know if it's a coincidence, at this moment, Li Na, who has returned to the county seat and returned home, is also worried about going to this Yue Xiang Long Hotel for dinner at night.

Speaking of Li Na, that thing is even more unexpected.

Li Na received a call from her father Li Jiancai in the morning, and heard that her mother Sun Xiulan was sick and was hospitalized.

However, the reality is that when Li Na anxiously rushed to the county seat and rushed to the county hospital, she did not find her mother Sun Xiulan.

After making a phone call anxiously, I heard that my mother Sun Xiulan had been discharged from the hospital and had returned home at this moment.

Li Na rushed home non-stop, with worry and guilt for her mother Sun Xiulan, and before she knocked on the door, her eyes were already red.

But when Li Na knocked on the door and entered the house, she saw Sun Xiulan watching TV on the sofa in the living room, and she didn't look sick at all.

Immediately, Li Na was slightly stunned, and then threw herself directly into the arms of her mother Sun Xiulan, and then said: "Mom, I'm scared to death for you, seeing that you look good, and you can watch TV like this in the living room as usual, I can be relieved." It's all my fault, I'm busy with my work as a poverty alleviation village official, and I forgot to care about you and my dad. Don't worry, I'll definitely take the time to call you both in the future, and I'll try to come back to see you as often as time permits. ”

Regarding Li Na's crying and self-blame, Li Jiancai squeezed his eyebrows at Sun Xiulan behind Li Na's insight, complaining.

And Sun Xiulan gestured to Li Jiancai not to speak, and she would talk about things for a while.

After Li Na cried for a while full of self-blame and guilt, Sun Xiulan said directly: "Xiao Na, Mom is really fine." It's not a serious illness, it's just a cold and fever, don't you think I'm already well? Mom does miss you a little, you said that you have been gone for more than a month, can Mom miss you? But you'll be happy when you come back today. And my mother also feels sorry for you, afraid that you will always be too tired to run back and forth, so I didn't call you, it was your father who told you a lot. ”

Hearing Sun Xiulan's words, Li Jiancai was behind Li Na's insight, and then he was even more angry, and he was full of opinions on Sun Xiulan's face, but he was soon forcibly "suppressed and shut up" by Sun Xiulan's gestures and eyes.

Then Sun Xiulan kept talking and said to Li Na again: "Xiao Na, it just so happens that you are back this time." Mom is fine, why don't we go out for dinner together in the evening? ”

"Going out to eat? Mom, don't go out to eat, just eat at home, I'll do it, you haven't tasted my craft for a long time, I'll cook. The outside meal is too oily, and you should eat less greasy if you have a cold. Li Na said with concern.

"Oh, it's okay, my cold is all good. Your concern for mom, the horse has received. Seeing that you are tired and thin when you come back this time, you don't have to cook, let's just go out to eat. ”

Saying this, Sun Xiulan couldn't help but touch Li Na's face in distress.

In this regard, Li Na said half-jokingly: "Oh, Mom, haven't you lost much weight?" You don't have to worry, I am very punctual for three meals a day in Yuehu Village, which is poverty alleviation. Besides, wouldn't it be better if I could really lose weight? That's just the right time to lose weight. You don't often say that I can't find a boyfriend, it must be because I used to be fat, and other boys don't look down on me. ”

Li Na talked about the topic of becoming thinner, and it was difficult to find a boyfriend when she was fat before, so she was also unrestrained in front of her parents.

But as soon as Li Na finished saying this, she saw Sun Xiulan's eyes suddenly light up: "Xiao Na, if you say this, then you will be really tired and thin, and your mother won't say anything." Don't say it, we really want to go together. In fact, let's go out to dinner tonight, and it happened that your second aunt introduced you to a young man, and if you don't go on a blind date, let's meet together, you know each other and talk about it, and see if it fits your eyes. This young man is a year older than you, I have not only seen the photos, I have also seen real people, once I went to the mall with your second aunt, and I happened to meet this young man shopping with her mother, that person looks like a spirit, and filial piety......"

After Sun Xiulan talked about this topic, she directly gushed endlessly, saying that the boy in her mouth was like a "prince charming" in the mortal world.

And Li Na looked at her mother Sun Xiulan's demeanor and tone, and listened to her words, her expression immediately changed, and she began to realize that it was not the right topic for her mother to come back to visit her when she was sick and hospitalized, and it was the "purpose" to let her go home to meet and eat with this boy in disguise.
