Finally came out of the platform. Zhao Qingjie carried the salute to the corner and said, "Xuemei, you wait here, I will ask what time the train is."
Qi Xuemei just nodded and took her son to sit on the salute.
"Zhiping, your dad comes here, I'll buy you candied haws.
Next time you meet something you like, tell me and mom will buy it for you. You stand there in silence, what if you are picked up by someone else?
By then you won't be able to find your father or us, and your family will no longer be there.
They steal children just to eat meat. They kill them like pigs and then stew them to eat."
Qi Xuemei just fooled her youngest son, thinking that she must make him afraid from the bottom of his heart.
If the child was really lost, Qi Xuemei might not be able to survive.
Zhiping was really scared now. He burst out crying, "Mom, I will never dare to do this again."
Qi Xuemei hugged her son and shed tears. She came here reluctantly, and she almost lost her son just now. Now her heart is full of complaints against Zhao Qingjie.
Zhao Tian was watching from the side. He was not a fool. He knew that his daughter-in-law would definitely hate him this time.
When Zhao Qingjie came back, Qi Xuemei ignored him and took Zhiping's hand to buy candied haws. Just for a bunch of candied haws, her son almost lost it, saying she wanted her son to eat it today.
Zhao Qingjie called her three times before Qi Xuemei turned back, "I'll take Zhiping to buy candied haws."
Zhao Qingjie said nothing at this time. He also sat on the luggage roll. These were packed in fertilizer bags, so even if they were dirty, the contents inside would not be dirty.
Zhao Tian came over and sat beside his son, "What time is the train?"
"at night."
"Second brother, I didn't mean it just now. I was afraid of getting lost, so I followed you closely and forgot about Zhiping."
Zhao Qingjie lowered his head and didn't say a word. He already regretted it to death. He shouldn't have accepted this hot potato just for the money.
That is to say, I was scared just now, but after being on the train for so many days, I didn't care about anything except eating. Even eating, I had to buy it.
Zhao Tian knew that his son also hated him. In fact, he was also afraid and regretful.
Zhao Qingjie just sat aside and waited. After a while, Qi Xuemei came back with Zhiping.
Children are like this, they feel happy after eating candied haws.
The family of four, namely Zhiping, was happy, while the other three sat with their heads lowered and did not speak.
We still have seven or eight hours to get on the bus, so now we can only wait here.
The hawthorn was appetizing. After Zhiping finished eating the candied haws, he complained that he was hungry soon.
Qi Xuemei was frightened just now. She would satisfy whatever her youngest son asked for.
She stood up and held Zhiping's hand to buy some food for her child.
At this time, Zhao Qingjie stopped them, "You two, wait here while I go buy food."
He walked around and asked, but he thought it was really expensive. But he had to eat, so he just bought two vegetable buns for Zhiping and ten corn tortillas for the rest.
Qi Xuemei has no objection. Now her idea is to eat as long as she is full and not hungry.
She coaxed Zhiping not to leave her side throughout the afternoon. There were too many people at the train station.
When it was almost time to get in the car, Qi Xuemei still tied up her son. She had no choice but to worry about losing her child.
The short-distance train still departs from the capital. There are too many people on the train, so it is difficult to squeeze in. They have to pay for so many things.
After being frustrated on the train for two more days, I got off the train in the county town.
After arriving here, Zhao Tian felt that his back was hardened. Although he had only been to the county town a few times, he felt that he could find a home.
Qi Xuemei didn't say a word to him along the way. After getting off the bus, she and Zhiping watched the salutes on the platform while Zhao Qingjie carried them out one by one.
After leaving for so many years, the train station has still changed. Zhao Qingjie still thought that it would be good to meet familiar people, but when he got here, he thought that even if he met a villager, he probably wouldn't recognize him.
Their salutes were moved outside the train station. Zhao Qingjie thought about hiring a car, as he would definitely not be able to go back.
His idea was right. They found a carriage, but they were still reluctant after seeing so many salutes, so they had no choice but to add an extra 50 cents before setting off.
The driver was also a talkative person and chatted with Zhao Qingjie.
"Where are you from? Your accent sounds weird to me."
"I am from Xihe Village. I went to Jiangbei Farm more than ten years ago. It has been so many years and I thought I would come back."
"Should I come back? Fallen leaves return to their roots.
You are from Xihe Village, do you know that your village has a capable official?"
Zhao Qingjie knew that he was talking about Su Yuanyuan.
"I know, I still asked her to help me when I came back this time."
"Really, can you tell me about that high official?"
"There is nothing to say." Zhao Qingjie is not stupid, and there are some things that he cannot say.
"Then I'll arrange a job for you when you come back, right?"
"Oh, yes."
"It's great to know such a capable person. You have a good relationship with that person, right? If I need anything, can I come to you? Don't worry, I won't let you look for me in vain."
Zhao Qingjie immediately refused, "I don't have the ability. If someone can help me come back, it's just a matter of friendship between the village. I don't have the shame to ask for anything else."
"Look at what you said? Why don't you accept such a good offer? Anyone who comes to you for services will pay a lot of money."
Zhao Qingjie shook his head, "I really don't have the ability." He was also moved. But he didn't even know where Su Yuanyuan's family had gone, so how could he find help?
He also knew in his heart that even if he looked for her, Su Yuanyuan would not help. From her return this time, it can be seen that she is not close to him at all.
This is also why he is jealous of his elder brother, every good thing belongs to him.
In fact, aren't they all the same when they were young? The eldest brother has not contacted Su Yuanyuan for so many years, so why did he only have a good relationship with his family when he came back?
"Little brother, I don't look like I have a bad relationship. Let me tell you straight, one of my nephews was arrested. His parents recognized a hundred yuan and they just wanted to find someone to release my nephew.
Come out and you can earn a hundred yuan just by saying a word."
Now Zhao Qingjie was even more excited. But he also knew that this was not something he could do. He couldn't earn even one thousand, let alone one hundred.
The middle-aged man driving the bus kept encouraging Zhao Qingjie, but in the end Zhao Qingjie didn't say a word.
After entering the village, Zhao Tian's eyes couldn't stand it anymore. Everything he looked at was very close to him.
It has been ten years since they left, and the changes are still very big. There are many new houses in the village, and the children they meet on the road don't know which family they belong to.
