Chapter 18 Long Insights

With his wife and children, it would be difficult for Wang Manyin to stop a passing car and have sex for free. Four people, adults and children, could not fit in the passenger seat.

Mijia Town is worthy of being a famous big town in the old society. Nowadays, the transportation is very developed. There are buses from Mijia Town to Yuanxi County and even to Huangyuan City.

The four people got on a bus from Mijia Town to Yuanxi County on the road outside the village, and arrived at Yuanxi County in less than an hour.

Fortunately, Lan Hua is an adult. It was the first time for two children to ride in a car. They were very happy on the bus and did not suffer from motion sickness.

After getting off the car, Yuanxi County Town gave Orchid and Mao Dan Goudan to town. In Wang Manyin's opinion, it was an underdeveloped small county town, but for Lan Hua and the two children, Yuanxi County Town was comparable to the two streets of the Stone Ge Festival.

Much more prosperous.

When we were in the village, when Mao Dan was alone, it could be said that he could run away if he let go. Now Mao Dan is holding on to Orchid's clothes and dare not let go, and Gou Dan is even unwilling to get off the ground and walk on his own.

.

There are some differences from the village. The roads in the village are all dirt roads, but they are the same as in the original West County. The main streets are all bluestone roads.

Although there are no high-rise buildings, there are more houses, more people, and more cars than in the village. Even if most of them are bicycles and animal-drawn carts, there are still more cars.

"Lanhua, don't be in a hurry to buy things. It's the first time for the children to come here, and you don't come often. Let's take a stroll in the city first." Wang Manyin said to Lanhua, who was a little embarrassed in coming to a strange place.

Even if they are an old couple, it is not easy to hold hands directly on the street. Wang Manyin is holding the dog egg, and the couple is walking down the street holding the hand of the cat egg.

Wang Manyin took three people to see the county government, various government agencies, hospitals, and public institutions. Wang Manyin wanted to explain to Lanhua while walking.

I didn’t feel it in rural areas, but when I came outside I felt it was very inconvenient to be illiterate.

Orchid doesn't have a social problem, and she's not someone who likes to ask for directions. Rural people rarely feel inferior when they come to the city, and their clothes are very different. City people are obviously much more decently dressed than rural people.

"Lanhua, this is the county high school."

"Is this where Shaoping went to school?"

"Yes, it's right here. When our cat and Goudan grow up, they should come here to go to school." If Lanhua is unwilling to leave Yuanxi County to live, it is really possible.

Neither of them mentioned going in to see Shaoping. Wang Manyin didn't like this person himself, and Lanhua probably thought that looking for Shaoping would make Shaoping lose face in front of his classmates because he was from a rural area and was not well-dressed.

When he saw a man selling candied haws on a stick, Wang Manyin asked Mao Dan, who was always dazzled when he entered the city: "Mao Dan, do you want to eat candied haws on a stick?" The candied haws on a stick business is very good and will not be affected at any time.

"Dad, I will eat."

"I want to eat too." Goudan was also very conscious.

Not only children are addicted to sweets because their bodies lack sugar, adults also like sweets. Wang Manyin bought four candied haws and the family ate them while walking.

"I'm an adult now, so you can just give me eggs for cats and eggs for dogs." Lanhua is like thousands of parents with poor family conditions nowadays. She always thinks of her children first.

"You haven't eaten much. If I buy it for you, you can eat it steadily. You can't miss it for the children."

Then at the photo studio in the county town, the family took a family portrait, the two children took one together, and each child took a separate photo. They wanted to take a separate photo for Orchid, but Orchid refused.

The child's growth process and beautiful memories should be preserved more. Lanhua was unwilling this time because her family was poor. She could always change Lanhua's mind in the future. Wang Manyin didn't believe that a woman could not like to retain the appearance of her youth.

.

I paid the money and issued a receipt, and the photographer said that it would be available for collection in a week. In a situation like Wang Manyin's, he would come back to the county to pick up the photos at any time. The state-owned company is reassuring.

It was already noon when we left the photo studio. Wang Manyin said: "Lanhua, let's go to the restaurant to have something to eat."

"I have pancakes in my bag. Didn't we say the pancakes are delicious?"

"It's pancakes. We don't have meat tickets. We don't need to buy steamed buns if we bring pancakes. When we get to the restaurant, we can order two plates of vegetarian dishes and it won't cost much."

Wang Manyin felt that Lan Hua was really used to being in charge of things by herself and had her own opinions on everything she did.

At noon, we had a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks and a plate of tofu. The state-owned canteen provided oil and seasonings, and the chef could reach an intermediate level. It tasted pretty good, and Lanhua and the three of them drank soda for the first time.

The soda is far less delicious than the one in the Arctic Ocean. I already said that this cat egg is the best thing I have ever drunk.

After dinner, we started shopping. Wang Manyin’s movie watching plan was also canceled by Orchid. If you don’t want to watch it, just don’t watch it. You can still watch movies several times a year in rural areas, and most of them go to the Shige Festival.

I went to the commune to see it. It’s not like I haven’t seen it when two people are having sex.

Except for the things I brought to the neighbors, I didn’t buy much. I bought a plaid scarf for Orchid, a pound of fruit candies for my children, and two bottles of local wine that cost 80 cents a bottle. I originally wanted to buy something for the Sun family.

, I didn’t even have a ticket, so I finally bought a white towel and planned to take it back to Sun Yuhou when Lan Xiang comes home to deliver books and pens today.

It took more than an hour of bus ride before I got home and divided the things I had just brought to my neighbors.

Lan Hua hurried out anxiously: "Man Yin, you can rest at home, I'm going to hunt pigweed."

The little black piglet is the treasure of the orchid. People can eat less, but pigs cannot eat less. Whether Wang Manyin's family can pay off their debts this year depends entirely on whether the pig grows big and fat enough.

"I'll go with you. If you go early, you can come back early."

"I'll be back soon. You have to go with me and take your two children with you."

A child as big as Mao Dan can already play with the older children in the village without parents having to worry about it. It’s just because Gou Dan is still young and because of Lanhua’s education, Mao Dan thinks he has the responsibility to take care of his younger brother, so he and his friends

There is less time to go out to play.

The cave dwelling was still too small, so Wang Manyin let Mao Dan and Gou Dan play in the yard. The two of them could play whatever they wanted, as long as they didn't leave the courtyard.

I was sitting in the yard, watching my children playing, and thinking about various future plans. It was definitely necessary to make a fortune. If you want to be happy, you still need at least a certain amount of material security.

"Sister, sister, are you at home?" When I was thinking wildly, Lan Xiang's voice came from outside.
