Fang Limin twisted his waist and found it difficult to drive.
He originally wanted to call the sanitation center in Kyoto and ask them to send a driver. But Qi Hui stopped him.
"I'll drive it."
"Can you drive?"
There were very few people who could drive in this era, and they were usually men.
Qi Hui glanced at him without saying anything. Not only could she drive, she could also make money to support her family.
She can basically do anything a man can do.
Grab the key, start the car, and hold the steering wheel skillfully.
Her driving skills are average, and the roads are all national roads and occasionally highways, so it's not a problem for her.
Fang Limin got into the passenger seat, leaving Fang Jinnian alone in the back seat.
Qi Hui looked ahead, pop music from Hong Kong and Taiwan was playing in the carriage.
She was in a good mood and hummed the tune unconsciously.
Fang Limin looked at her sideways from time to time, and suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
Fang Jinnian sat in the back row and watched the two of them not communicating throughout the whole process. He felt anxious. Sometimes he pulled Fang Limin to say a few words, and sometimes he pulled Qi Hui to say a few words.
The two of them just didn't talk.
He gave Fang Limin a look, indicating that he would communicate more with Qi Hui.
Fang Jinnian cursed in his heart. What a great opportunity, but if he didn't seize it well, he was asked to teach him by a young boy. No wonder he couldn't catch up with his grandma!
Fang Limin touched his nose. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to Qi Hui, but that he didn't dare to say it easily. He was afraid that he would accidentally mention her bad memories and make her angry.
If you say too much, you will be wrong. If you don't say something, it's good. It's better not to say anything.
Qi Hui drove for several hours. During a break, Fang Limin grabbed the steering wheel and insisted that he drive for a while.
Fang Limin held the steering wheel in his hand and started chatting vaguely: "The country has developed rapidly in the past two years. The roads are getting wider and wider, and the cars are running faster and faster."
"Yeah, I thought back then I didn't have enough to eat. Now I have fish and meat for every meal. I can't imagine how good my life will be in the future."
Qi Hui had a slight smile on her lips. She was really satisfied with her recent life.
With Fang Jinnian, her focus gradually shifted to her family, and she was no longer lonely or worried.
"We should live well and live a happy life."
Fang Limin was moved. It was really not easy for Qi Hui to go through so much hardship and get to where she is today.
Fang Jinnian interrupted at the right time: "Grandpa and grandma, you will definitely live a long life! When I grow up, I will make a lot of money to honor you!"
His sweet mouth made the two old people laugh.
Fang Limin felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. More than 20 years ago, he should have had the opportunity to witness such a scene.
But because of his insistence, his family fell apart...
Now that he had the chance to make amends, he was afraid that he had not done enough.
The two of them changed shifts and drove for a whole day, only more than 100 kilometers away from the provincial capital.
It was getting dark, and they didn't want to go in the dark, so they chose to stay in a local guest house.
"We'll arrive in the provincial capital tomorrow. There's still time. We'll leave tomorrow."
Qi Hui had this in mind, and the three of them checked in. They were still in the same room.
The reason this time was that Fang Jinnian was worried that Fang Limin's waist would be bad after driving for a day and he would feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night. No one would take him to the hospital.
Fang Limin is becoming more and more fond of this quirky little guy. It can be seen that he has racked his brains to bring the two of them closer.
When Qi Hui reluctantly agreed, Fang Jinnian blinked at him.
He turned around and gave him a thumbs up. He had already praised him 1,800 times in his heart.
Maybe he was really tired from driving during the day, and his waist really hurt at night.
Thinking of Qi Hui's careful application of medicine for him last night, he couldn't help but feel warm again.
The evil idea popped up again.
Why not try the same trick again to win her sympathy.
He remembered that an expert once said that physical contact is an important step in promoting the relationship between two people.
As long as you have a thicker skin, it's no big deal.
Fang Limin lay on the bed, tossing and turning, deliberately exerting too much strength.
Qi Hui was upset by his noise and sat up: "Can you sleep peacefully? It's so noisy at night!"
There was helplessness in his eyes, the room was dim, and his pity could be felt through his voice.
"My back hurts..."
"If your back hurts, apply medicine!"
"I can't reach..."
Qi Hui has been deceived by him almost all her life. She knows what he is thinking with just one look from him.
He simply wanted her to apply medicine for him, but she refused to let him do so.
She covered herself with a quilt and forced herself not to listen to the sound of him turning over.
After being scolded by her, Fang Limin lay on the bed obediently, not daring to make a sound.
The room became quiet, and Qi Hui's heart suddenly became uneasy.
She lay there for a while and couldn't help but lift the quilt and check Fang Limin's condition.
Fang Limin didn't sleep. He stared at the ceiling with his eyes open and placed his palms on his lower back, as if he was holding back the pain.
Qi Hui relented again, he looked like a pathetic creature.
Fang Limin heard the movement in the bed next door and quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The visitor's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and he could feel Qi Hui's breathing.
Then she reprimanded in a low voice: "You have a backache and you still have to drive hard! I shouldn't have cared about you!"
She said harsh words, but she picked up the medicine in her hand and directed him: "Turn over and I will apply the medicine to you."
Fang Limin followed what she said and did not dare to argue a word.
Feeling the warmth of her fingers on his body, this slight heat rushed straight into his heart.
I must have been deceived by lard, so I gave up the beautiful life of a wife and children.
Qi Hui wiped for a while, then stopped when she heard the even breathing coming from the person on the bed.
This man she had thought about day and night, the man she had hated to the core, the man she had sworn she would never see again.
Going around and around, the two of them seemed to be back where they started.
Everything can be forgotten with the passage of time, but the scars left behind will always be there.
She didn't know what kind of feelings she had for Fang Limin now. When she thought about this incident, she felt tight in the chest and short of breath. It was better to just let nature take its course.
When you are old, why do you still have to embarrass yourself?
She returned to her bed, sighed, and fell asleep slowly.
Fang Limin opened his eyes, unable to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth. He turned around and faced the two of them on the bed. He could see Qi Hui's figure, and then he fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, he went to buy breakfast as usual.
When they came back, Fang Jinnian and Qi Hui had already packed up.
"Grandpa, have we arrived at the provincial capital today?"
"Yes. Jinnian can see his parents today."
Fang Jinnian cheered. He hadn't seen his parents for several months and could only call occasionally.
He unconsciously speeded up the pace of eating and even urged the two of them.
"Grandpa and grandma, let's eat quickly and set off quickly!"
Qi Hui smiled and agreed, and she was looking forward to meeting them.
