Set foot on the train back home.
Kaiwuer and Toyhan sat together, and they took the hard seat, which was the cheapest ticket.
From Guangnan to Jiangqi, across the entire Xia Kingdom, such a long drive is undoubtedly a torment for them.
But they take it easy and are used to the suffering that life brings them.
In contrast, it doesn't matter if the body is a little tired, as long as the heart is down-to-earth, it will be fine.
The two cuddled each other through the journey, and finally got off the train. When they got off the train, their legs and waist were sore.
The train stopped at the station in City X, and after getting out of the station, Kaiwuer's excitement suddenly came up again.
"A lot has changed here..."
"There are a lot of tall buildings, it wasn't like this before..."
"It seems that the development of X City is also very good. If I come back, even if the village is not good... well, I can probably find a job opportunity here..."
Toyhan listened quietly to the man's words. Although she also saw the changes in X City, she didn't take the man's words seriously.
Even if the development here is good, it is still far inferior to Guangnan. The people there spend more money, and those who can bear hardships and sell their labor earn more, but here... probably can't compare.
However, Kaiwuer's desire to come back is very strong, and he subconsciously feels that he is going to come back, so his every move, every word and deed reveals his intentions.
Now Toyhan is only worried about whether Kaiwuer will be disappointed and sad if things are not as good as expected.
After leaving the train station, the two of them came to the bus terminal, bought tickets to Bahe Town, got on the bus and left.
The car will go to Bahe first, and then they will get off at Bahe, and then hire a car to take them to the Xunjiang Highway, and they will go back to the village on foot.
It took more than four hours to finally arrive at Bahe Town, and the two got out of the car with sore backs.
They came out of the train station early in the morning, and by the time they sat in the car, it was already past noon.
"Let's go, find a place to eat something, and take a break."
Kaiwuer put most of the luggage on himself, and then said something to Toyhan.
Toy Khan was really tired, and her face was a little haggard, but she felt that she could still hold on. When she heard the man's words, she quickly said: "Are you hungry? We bring food with us. If we are hungry, we will eat." A piece of naan, don't waste money."
Kai Wuer shook his head: "I haven't been back for a long time, and I kind of want to drink a cup of milk tea from the town and eat some food from the town."
Toyhan immediately understood that this was the taste of the man missing his hometown.
The two of them carried their luggage, found a food stall and sat down, and then Kai Wuer decided to order a few things.
"When I was young, Atta hadn't passed away, he would often bring me to the town and sell me food..."
While waiting for the food to be delivered, Kai Wuer began to ramble on, talking about things in his childhood, his eyes showed nostalgia, and his whole body was immersed in the memories of the past.
Toyhan listened quietly. She knew the man's family background, and the man's story made her feel distressed, so she couldn't help reaching out and holding the man's hand.
"It's all right now. Mother's health is getting better and better. Kerim and Zenanti have grown up. I also have you. Our life will get better and better."
Kai Wuer held the woman's hand instead, and said with a smile, "If we can really get a house, then we'll go and get a marriage certificate, and the family will live a good life from now on."
Although the two have lived together for many years, they are like husband and wife, but they have not yet obtained a certificate, and they are not legally husband and wife.
Toyhan nodded and agreed: "Okay!"
After the two looked at each other and smiled, Kai Wuer looked up at the food stall owner and said, "Why are things coming so slowly?"
He is also a stall owner, and he is particularly sensitive to the speed of this kind of food.
Seeing that the owner of the food stall was busy, he looked at the situation inside the food stall again, and couldn't help but said to Toyhan, "There are... quite a lot of people here."
Toy Khan soon noticed that there were a lot of customers in the food stall, almost all of the dozen or so small tables were full.
You must know that today is not a weekend or a holiday, but an ordinary working day, and it has passed noon. There are so many people at the food stall, which shows that its business is very good.
Is it because it tastes good
Toyhan quickly thought of this, but then she looked further away, and found that there were many various food stalls nearby, and there were as many customers in other stalls, and there were not many people.
"It's... very lively here!"
Toyhan had been to Bahe before, and that was the first time she passed here when she followed Kaiwuer home.
But at that time, the two of them just passed by in a hurry and didn't stay here, so she didn't have any impression of this town and didn't know much about it.
She didn't know if this town was originally so prosperous, but it seemed that there were really a lot of people, and it was full of vitality.
Toyhan was surprised by the excitement of Bahe Town, but Kai Wuer, who grew up here, was puzzled: "Why does the town seem to have changed a bit?"
Although he hasn't been back for three years, but the last time he came back, it was still the same as before, just like the Gobi Desert in the desert that has not changed for thousands of years, it has been like this since ancient times.
This time, the town seemed to be different.
First of all, there are too many people, and people can be seen everywhere on the street.
The second is that there are more stores. Compared with the depression in the past, there are many signs on the street that were not there before. They all look brand new, and they should not have appeared for a long time.
This Bahe Town looks a bit like what it used to be like when going to the market.
Kai Wuer was a little surprised, because he was aware of the changes in the town, and when he looked at everything around him, he saw more. He felt that the changes here were really big, so big that he couldn't recognize them.
After a while, the food stall owner finally finished what the two of them ordered and delivered it.
The delivery person was the boss’s wife, a Uighur aunt. Kaiwuer couldn’t help asking: “Salamu, auntie, I would like to ask, how do you feel that the town has changed so much this time when I come back? People seem to have changed. There are too many, and the streets have become bustling, is this... usually like this?"
The Uighur aunt took a look at Kaiwuer. She could recognize Kaiwuer's local accent and knew he was a local, so she smiled and asked, "Young man, have you not been back for a long time?"
Kai Wuer replied: "It's not too long, I came back three years ago, and that time... it seems that the town is not what it is now."
"That's right, our Bahe has become different in the past two years."
The Uighur aunt smiled and nodded, and said proudly, "Our Bahe is very different now than it was three years ago."
