On the way, I happened to meet Jiang Liwan, carrying a vegetable basket in her hand. When she saw the two of them, she squeezed out a smile and waved from a distance.
I haven't seen her for a few days. Jiang Liwan looks like she's ten years older. She doesn't have any makeup on and looks haggard. There are even deep crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
Niu Xiaotian stopped the motorcycle and Jiang Liwan asked: "Director An, Xiaotian, where are you going?"
"Aunt Jiang, I want to go home!"
Anyue was polite in her words. Lin Dahai, the former village director, also participated in the opening of the channel this time. He was very supportive of her work and helped to mediate many conflicts.
"Oh, Xiaotian is coming too?" Jiang Liwan asked.
"Auntie, I want to go to the city to buy some things. If I hadn't followed Sister Yue, I would have been afraid of getting lost!"
Jiang Liwan's mouth moved, as if she had something to say, but she held it back and just said lightly, please pay more attention to safety on the road.
When the motorcycle came to the country road, An Yue muttered: "What's wrong with Jiang Liwan? Her expression is so weird, and she looks like she's bitter and resentful."
"Do you always look like this when I see you?" Niu Xiaotian asked.
"I haven't met him a few times. His words are neither salty nor cool, and sometimes he even deliberately avoids him. He's not a good man at work, and I can't blame him for that!" An Yue was very unhappy.
"Hey, you have scary hair on your body, who wouldn't be afraid!"
Niu Xiaotian chuckled. Of course he would not get involved in such a thing. His efforts would be thankless. Besides, he didn't know how much trouble it would cause.
"Nonsense!"
Anyue punched Niu Xiaotian from behind and sighed softly, "I heard Accountant Liu say that Lin Dahai plans to sell his house and move to the town, making it seem like I can't tolerate them."
"They want to leave on their own, it has nothing to do with you."
"Actually, Lin Dahai has quite a lot of influence in the village, and he is a decent person. If he were to vote, I might even be removed." An Yue said sincerely.
"He has no such intention. Next year's election will definitely be yours."
Talking all the way, the two came to Qingyun Town, parked the motorcycle behind the town hospital, and locked it.
Then, the two got on the minibus leading to Anping County. The fare was 20 per person. As expected, An Yue paid a dime. Niu Xiaotian paid generously and the two sat side by side in the back.
Side by side, legs against legs, the minibus is rocking like a cradle of childhood.
Anyue leaned her head on Niu Xiaotian's shoulder and actually fell asleep like this. This scene attracted many envious looks. Niu Xiaotian also felt very happy and wished that this car could keep driving forever.
Two hours later, they arrived in Anping County. The two of them did not stop here. They bought tickets directly at the bus station and got on the spacious bus to Fengjiang City.
The ticket price was fifty, so it was just a hundred-yuan bill for the two of them. An Yue really meant what she said. She said she wouldn't pay, and she would never pay. She was a complete stingy.
When the bus passed through Anping County, through the bus window, Niu Xiaotian's eyes were a little tired, and everything he saw felt fresh.
The streets are spacious and lined with high-rise buildings. Cars are coming and going on the road. Pedestrians' clothing has become more fashionable. There are also many women wearing denim shorts and exposing their white legs, walking proudly on the street.
If this were in the village, his spine would have been stabbed to pieces.
"Xiao Tian, it's better to go to the city! My nose is flattened." An Yue laughed.
"Hey, it feels quite noisy. If you are walking on the road, you have to be careful, for fear of bumping into someone."
"The city is much more lively than this. Don't run around in case you can't find it."
"Don't you still have a mobile phone?"
"Put it away, don't let the thief get away with it."
While they were talking, the little girl sitting diagonally in front of her suddenly vomited. Although she vomited all the food in a plastic bag, the sour smell spread quickly.
Many people covered their noses in disgust, An Yue did the same, and her eyebrows knitted together. But the bus was closed and the windows couldn't be opened. I didn't know how long I would have to endure it.
"If you get car sick, take some medicine in advance!" the bus driver couldn't help complaining.
"My child is allergic to medicine. I'm sorry to everyone. I'm sorry!" the little girl's grandmother hurriedly apologized.
"Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry!"
The little girl, about seven or eight years old, also stood up and bowed to everyone in the aisle to apologize. She looked very well-behaved. She was suffering from motion sickness, and her long eyelashes still had tears hanging on them, and her face was paler than the white dress she was wearing.
The children's understanding made the resentment of the passengers disappear, and an enthusiastic lady handed over a green apple to suppress the sour gas.
"Thank you, Auntie." The little girl took the apple, but she just held it in her hand and had no appetite.
Niu Xiaotian's eyes swept over this little face, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly shouted: "Driver, stop the car quickly!"
"What are you yelling about? Parking is not allowed here." The bus driver was dissatisfied.
"Xiaotian, what are you doing?" Anyue also frowned.
"She doesn't get motion sickness. Send her to the hospital quickly! Otherwise she will die!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the carriage became unhappy and looked sideways. What's wrong with this kid? The child is obviously motion sick. Is it necessary to be so alarmist?
"Stop it, little girl, go back to your seat, sit down, fasten your seat belt, we're about to enter the expressway." The bus driver didn't listen at all. If he could stop on the road, he would have come over and punched Niu Xiaotian.
The little girl's grandmother was not happy either. She cast a dissatisfied look at Niu Xiaotian, pulled the child to sit down, and fastened the seat belt.
"Xiaotian, don't be so busy when you are out." An Yue reminded.
"I can't go wrong with my fortune telling. She is sick."
Only two or three minutes later, an apple fell and rolled down the aisle to Niu Xiaotian's feet.
"Something happened." Niu Xiaotian took a deep breath.
Then, the little girl's grandmother let out a heartbreaking cry, "Yuanyuan! Yuanyuan! What's wrong with you?"
"The child is not well, stop the car quickly!"
"Stop!"
Passengers shouted one after another, and the bus driver quickly pulled over and stopped. Niu Xiaotian also unbuckled his seat belt and came to the front despite Anyue's obstruction.
At this time, the little girl named Yuanyuan had her teeth clenched, her whole body was twitching constantly, her eyes were turned up, only the whites of her eyes were exposed, and she looked particularly scary.
The driver was also frightened and hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed for an ambulance.
By the time the ambulance comes, the little girl will definitely be dead.
Unable to bear it, Niu Xiaotian stepped forward and grabbed the back of the girl's neck. At the same time, he slapped the girl on the forehead.
"What are you doing!" The little girl's grandmother came over frantically and pulled Niu Xiaotian's hand.
"If you want your granddaughter to live, don't cause trouble!" Niu Xiaotian almost shouted.
The old lady retracted her hand tremblingly and went to wipe her tears again. Niu Xiaotian punched the little girl on the chest again, making a thud sound.
"Xiaotian, you will get into trouble." An Yue was sweating anxiously.
