"Hey, it's not even five o'clock yet. Why are you leaving so early? If you had told me earlier last night, I would have gotten up earlier and cooked you some food." Zhou Yinghong started to murmur.
Just now, her son suddenly told her that he was leaving early today for a trip to Yicheng, so she complained that her son didn't tell her in advance.
Xia Zekai was also wronged. The couple made the decision just before going to bed last night.
"Mom, it's okay, we can just find a place to eat on the way." Luo Xiyun said.
She pointed to the large and small bags on the ground: "Besides, you also brought so many snacks and biscuits. Just eat something to fill your stomach and you'll be home."
"But Yatou and Tongtong are still asleep, you said you have to go through such trouble." Zhou Yinghong glanced at the two granddaughters who were not awake yet, and felt extremely distressed.
Xia Zekai smiled: "Mom, that's it. Just tell Zejiang and ask him to take the second brother's car back and get off at the Jicheng Expressway service area."
"Okay, don't worry about him, just pack your things and leave." Zhou Yinghong's mother-in-law said.
Ten minutes later, everything was packed and loaded into the car.
Luo Xiyun and Zhou Yinghong also carried a sleeping little girl and put them in the car. Luo Xiyun sat in the middle and let them lean on him.
"Zekai, please drive slowly, and remember to call me when you get there." Zhou Yinghong started talking again, exactly like her grandma and grandpa yesterday.
At this moment, Xia Zekai could better understand his mother's feelings yesterday.
"Mom, let's go. You and my dad should eat more meat. Don't be reluctant to eat or spend it. Your son will make a lot of money in the future. When the time comes, we will take you and grandpa to Qicheng to enjoy the blessings." Xia Zekai said.
He waved his hand and pressed the electric switch of the window glass, and the glass closed.
Luo Xiyun, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly said: "Zekai, wait a minute, lower the rear window glass first, and I'll say a few words to mom."
Xia Zekai didn't know what she was going to do, but he opened the window anyway, and a gust of cold wind blew in. The sleeping girl and Tongtong subconsciously crawled into their mother's arms, feeling cold.
"Xiyun, do you have anything else to do?" Zhou Yinghong asked.
Luo Xiyun took out the 2,000 yuan that had been packed and tied with a rubber band from her jacket pocket, and before Zhou Yinghong could react, she threw it out through the open car window. She shouted: "Mom, this is
It’s 2,000 yuan. You and my dad can take the flowers. If it’s not enough, call us and ask Zekai to remit the money to you.”
After speaking quickly, she closed the back window and told Xia Zekai, "Let's go!"
Xia Zekai was also fooled by his wife's actions. He never expected that she still had this intention. He just said nice things but did nothing practical. This comparison showed the gap.
Xia Zekai was ashamed, not as thoughtful as his wife.
After driving on the road, Xia Zekai told himself that he would have to think more about it in the future.
Luo Xiyun noticed something strange, so she asked: "Zekai, are you okay? Why don't you watch them both while I start a conversation first."
"It's okay. Just squint for a while. I'll call you when I'm tired." Xia Zekai said this.
Luo Xiyun agreed. It was very warm in the car, and before she knew it, she leaned back on the seat back and fell asleep.
I don't know when the dark night disappeared, and the big round orange face opened its big mouth and bit open a corner of the darkness. It broke free from the restraints and jumped out of the horizon, illuminating the earth with a ray of light.
Xia Zekai had been driving for almost two hours at this time. He came out of his home, crossed the pontoon bridge of the Yellow River, got on the highway from the Pingxian Expressway, crossed the Qinglan Expressway, and went straight to Yicheng.
Compared with the Jiqing Expressway, which is tight and has many vehicles, there are almost no cars on the Qinglan Expressway. After driving for more than ten kilometers, I only encountered two or three trucks.
"This kind of expressway doesn't even have a big turn, so it's like running without a soul. Driving is so tiring!" Xia Zekai muttered, with a look of disgust on his face.
Time continued to move forward, and Xia Zekai looked back from time to time to see that the three of them were sleeping soundly.
There were many tunnels on the way here. Every time he passed through a tunnel, the sound of "Woo-Woo" sounded in his ears. The dim lights in the tunnel reminded him that the journey had changed and that the distance to the terminal was shortening again. This time
Cheng also seemed less bored.
Tongtong was awakened by a splash of urine. She suddenly broke away from her mother's arms, hugged her belly and screamed: "Mom, I need to pee!"
"Dad, I need to pee, I can't hold it in anymore!"
Luo Xiyun was awakened from his sleep, and Xia Zekai was anxious. This was a highway. Even if there were not many cars in front and behind Qinglan Highway, he did not dare to stop randomly.
What if?
"Zekai, how long does it take to get to the service area?" Luo Xiyun asked.
Xia Zekai looked depressed: "I just came to a service area not long ago. The next service area is at least 30 kilometers away. There are bags behind, so you can use the bags for her."
There was no other good way, so Luo Xiyun finally did what Xia Zekai said.
Then Tongtong peed on the left side of the car.
"-_-||" After listening to his wife saying that Tongtong had all peeed in the car, Xia Zekai was helpless.
He said: "Ignore it for now, I will wash the car when I get home later."
"Where are you? What time is it now?" Luo Xiyun was still thinking of asking.
"Well, it's past eight o'clock. I count that we have walked through nine tunnels. We will be there in about an hour. You can give our mother a call and say something." Xia Zekai said.
"So fast!" The expression on Luo Xiyun's face was stunned for a moment. She slept all the way, and her husband had to drive all the way. It must not be easy.
"Zekai, stop at the service area in front and let's change." Luo Xiyun said.
Xia Zekai stopped at the next service area. He had to go to the toilet, and the girl had to go too. But when he continued on his way, Xia Zekai said nothing and handed the steering wheel to Luo Xiyun.
I started wiping my blackheads before five o'clock in the morning, and arrived in Yicheng at around nine-thirty.
After getting off the highway, I ran along a bumpy dirt road at a speed of 30 miles for seven or eight miles. I didn't dare to run any faster.
At this time, Luo Xiyun, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, couldn't sit still. She asked from time to time: "Zekai, are we almost here?"
"Come on, wife, we'll be there in ten minutes at most." Xia Zekai told her.
The road ahead is even narrower, and we have reached the neighboring village. Some people are riding tricycles to buy things, and there are also a few old men and women chatting together.
Seeing a car approaching, they all turned around and saw it had a Bo City license plate. They were unfamiliar with it, so they ignored it and continued chatting.
After turning another corner, the girl who had been sitting silently in the back seat suddenly shouted: "Mom, we're here, we're here, that's grandma's house."
Tongtong also shouted: "I saw it too, that's my grandma's house."
