After leaving Qianmen Street, Chu Heng rushed straight to Ni's house.
When passing by the People's Hotel, he saw a sesame cake stall outside. The golden sesame sesame cakes baked one after another looked particularly tempting, so he bought ten of them, planning to take them with his wife to eat on the road.
When passing by a grocery store, he thought about it and bought a few kilograms of peaches and two watermelons for his wife to take with her in the car...
That wasn't the end yet. After buying the fruits, he ran to the clinic again and bought a lot of medicines for colds, fevers, anti-inflammatory, diarrhea, and fire removal, and even some disinfectant and bandages.
Those who didn't know better thought this guy was going out to fight.
It's also true that caring leads to chaos. Chu Heng has always been a treasure to Ni Yinghong. Usually he feels distressed to death even if he suffers a little punishment. This time, his wife has to go all the way to Northeast China. Do you think he can be nervous?
Well?
If it weren't for the fact that the grain store couldn't live without people, he would have wanted to pack it all up and take it with him.
When Chu Heng returned to Ni's house with his things, Ni Yinghong looked at the big and small bags in his hand and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
"How can I carry so many things!"
Originally, they had a lot of luggage with them, but the guy brought back a bunch of stuff, and it was really too much to carry.
"It's okay. I can deliver it to you when you get on the bus. Besides, there are more of these things to eat, so you'll have enough to eat when you get there."
Chu Heng squeezed his wife's little hand with great reluctance, took out the letter of introduction and the ticket from his pocket and handed them to her, saying: "Take this carefully, but be sure not to lose it, otherwise you will be in trouble."
The top one was Ni Yinghong's. After she took a look at it, her pretty face was full of surprise: "Hey, why is it a sleeper berth! I don't think my level is enough?"
"Don't talk about you, even I am not enough. I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable riding a long distance, so I found someone to buy four sleeper tickets." Chu Heng said with a smile.
"Did you buy a berth?" After hearing this, Father Ni came over, took the ticket and looked at it, complaining with a smile on his face: "You said it would be great for you kid to have a seat, why bother with this?"
"How can the old man talk?"
Ni's mother could see that she didn't want others to talk about her precious son-in-law, so she glared and said: "Ren Xiaochu feels sorry for us because we specially provided a sleeper berth. You still don't like this or that. If you don't want to sit on the sleeper berth, go and join the others in the big seat."
!I have to sit anyway, I’ve never sat on a sleeper in such a long life.”
"Whoever dislikes it, that's what I said." Father Ni said helplessly.
"ha."
Seeing that his father-in-law was frustrated, Chu Heng grinned happily, then looked at the time and saw that it was already past four o'clock, so he said: "Mom and Dad, it's getting late, let's go to the station and wait."
"Sure, let's go. It's sooner rather than later." Ni's father nodded in agreement.
So the family got busy and hung up the large and small luggage on the car. It took a while to get everything done.
Seeing this, the neighbors in the courtyard quickly came out to see him off.
"His aunt, have a safe journey!"
"My aunt is blessed with good luck and will be fine."
"Be careful on the road, I heard there are a lot of thieves in the car."
…
Amid the neighbors' greetings, the family set out in great force, with Chu Heng carrying his father-in-law, Ni Chen carrying his mother, and Ni Yinghong pulling most of the luggage.
Before five o'clock, they arrived at the train station.
Although the train station at this time was not as busy as in later generations, it was still bustling with people, making it a lively scene.
After finding a place to park the car, Chu Heng helped carry the luggage into the waiting hall, exchanged a few words with them, and hurried to the unit.
By the time he arrived at the grain store, it was almost time to get off work, and the aunts had already started finishing work.
Seeing that he was back, Sun Mei hurriedly asked: "Has Xiao Ni got in the car?"
"No, I'll collect the money and tickets first when I get back. I have to go over there when I'm done." Chu Heng shook his head, turned to Lian Qing and Guo Xia and said, "Don't leave after get off work, you two. Follow me to the train station. Help me ride the bike back."
"Okay, brother." The two brothers responded quickly.
Then Chu Heng went to Aunt Han Lian who was wiping the counter and said, "Aunt Han, don't be busy now. Let's hand over the money and tickets first. I have to go to the train station when we're done."
"Okay." Han Lian put down what she was doing and followed him to the office.
It took more than ten minutes for Chu Heng to finish recording the accounts, count the money tickets, and then rushed to the train station with the Guo Xia brothers.
He went to the place to find the car keys and asked them to take Ni Yinghong and Ni Chen's car back to the courtyard first. Chu Heng himself accompanied his wife in the waiting hall and waited for a while to see them off.
As the time to get on the bus got closer and closer, the young couple became increasingly reluctant to leave.
This was their first separation after marriage, and they were both a little uncomfortable with it.
"Remember to eat on time, close the windows before going to bed, and don't catch a cold at night..." Ni Yinghong told her nonchalantly. Because parting was imminent, she boldly held the man's hand in public this time.
"I'm not a three-year-old child, so don't worry." Chu Heng smiled and pinched his wife's cheek, and then said: "Keep Zhao Weiguo's contact information, that guy is quite capable in the Northeast.
If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, just call him."
Although he and Zhao Weiguo had only met a few times, they had a good relationship and occasionally corresponded with each other.
"I know." Ni Yinghong lowered her head in a depressed manner, her eye circles a little red. Thinking that the man would no longer be by her side soon, she felt empty in her heart and couldn't muster any strength.
The two talked to each other for a while, and the time to get on the bus soon came.
Carrying large and small parcels, the family walked into the platform through a special passage and boarded a steam train with billowing smoke.
The sleeper car was very spacious and there were relatively few people. After Chu Heng helped put away the luggage, he held a conversation with his wife and waited until the train was about to depart, then reluctantly got out of the car.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
With the whistle roaring and the train moving slowly, Ni Yinghong stuck her head out of the window and waved her hands vigorously: "Chu Heng, take care of yourself!"
"Hey, I'm at home, don't worry, don't forget to send me a telegram when you get there!"
The train was not moving very fast when it started. Chu Heng trotted to follow the train, wanting to see his wife a few more times. When he couldn't catch up and couldn't see his wife anymore, he stopped in despair and walked with other people to the station.
Like a heartbroken person, he slowly walked out of the platform with a heart filled with sadness.
After returning home from the train station, he looked at the empty room and felt very uncomfortable. He had been used to living with two people for a long time, and now he suddenly became an old brother again. He was really uncomfortable with it.
In fact, he just got married and is not tired of it yet. If he encounters this situation again in three to five years, he may have to buy firecrackers to celebrate.
