Xia Mian held Xiao Feng in his arms and watched the scenery passing by outside the window. It was the child's first time riding a train, and he was leaning against the window and watching with great interest. He was not bored at all.
Xia Mian was not bored either. From the moment she sat down on the bed, the mother and daughter on the bed opposite her had been asking for information about Ning Shaobai in various ways.
This was still a romantic era when transportation was slow, letters were far away, and relationships were relatively long-lasting.
There are many stories of people meeting, falling in love, getting married and having children on trains. Trains are the place where young girls most fantasize about beautiful encounters.
So it is understandable that the girl in the opposite bed wants to find out about Ning Shaobai's information.
But she had already made an appointment with Doctor Ning, so she naturally couldn't let him hurt another girl's heart.
So Aestivation used some language arts:
"Yes, a friend I met in my hometown, and we came to Yan City together."
"I'm 25 years old and work in a hospital."
The girl's mother immediately asked, "That shouldn't be a formal doctor, right? Medical students study for eight years, is he an intern?"
“Not an intern.”
"Could it be a care worker or a nurse?"
"Where are you from?"
"Mingxi County."
"The county town."
"Which neighborhood do you live in Yan City?"
"I didn't buy a building. I live in a bungalow."
The girl's mother's enthusiasm soon faded. The girl was warned by her mother, and without that handsome face to seduce people, she soon forgot about the handsome guy whom she had only met once.
Xia Mian breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt quiet...
… What a peace and quiet!
The scene before the train left the platform played over and over in her mind. Was it a coincidence? Could she have seen it wrong
Until the evening, when Xia Mian closed her eyes, she could only think of Ning Shaobai kissing the back of her hand.
She was so angry that she sat up suddenly and pounded the bed angrily, "Ning Shaobai, just wait!"
Xiao Feng was awakened and asked in a daze, "Aunt?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Xia Mian quickly lay down and hugged him to sleep.
In short, thanks to Dr. Toning, Aestivation stayed alert all night.
The next morning, they finally arrived at Ming City Railway Station.
Two hours before getting off the bus, Ning Shaobai called and asked her to wait on the bus. He had already asked Xiao Liu to buy a platform ticket and come in to pick her up.
It really saves a lot of trouble from hibernation.
There were quite a few people at the train station, but compared with later generations, people's quality and order were not satisfactory.
Xia Mian had walked less than twenty meters when he heard two people shouting that they had lost something and money.
Xia Mian didn't bring much cash, but she was afraid of being begged. Thinking of Xia Wenyue's words, Xia Mian hugged Xiao Feng tightly and didn't dare to let go.
In the end, he didn't meet the beggar or the thief, but he met a pervert.
At first, when Xia Mian's buttocks were touched, she thought it was just an accident because there were too many people around. She looked left and right, front and back, and everyone looked innocent.
But she was careful and soon sensed the other party's second approach.
Xia Mian freed one hand and quickly grabbed the dirty hand. It was not convenient for her to hold Xiao Feng with one hand, so she simply turned around and stepped on the other person's arm. She pulled and twisted her hand hard, and broke the other person's wrist.
The fat man hiding in the crowd screamed and knelt down. The people around him looked over. Xia Mian sneered, "You look like a human but you don't do human things! You filthy hooligan!"
The greasy fat man covered his wrist and lowered his head, not daring to look up.
Xiao Liu, who was leading the way, quickly turned back and asked, "Xiao Xia?"
"It's okay," Xia Mian said, "I just ran into a pervert." She stared at the fat man who dared not move and said, "Next time I run into you, I'll chop off your hands!"
After saying that, she continued to move forward with Xiao Liu, but this time Xiao Liu went around behind her to protect them.
It’s not that Xia Mian didn’t call the police, but technology was not well developed in that era, and the police couldn’t handle such trivial matters. Anyway, the beating had already been done, so Xia Mian didn’t waste time and energy.
As soon as he got in the car, his cell phone rang. Xia Mian looked at the caller ID and a smile appeared in his eyes.
She rolled her eyes and handed the phone to Xiao Feng, "Baby, you answer it."
Although Xiao Feng was puzzled, she didn't say anything. She pressed the answer button and the hands-free button skillfully and said, "Uncle Ning."
Ning Shaobai paused for a moment, his tone seemed somewhat helpless, "Are you there? Where's your aunt?"
Xiao Feng glanced at Xia Mian, and seeing that Xia Mian just didn't say anything, he had to continue, "Well, we're here, and we're already in Uncle Liu's car."
She also found an excuse for Xia Mian not to answer the phone, "Auntie just beat a bad guy and made him cry. My hand hurts and I can't pick up the phone."
aestivation:!!!
Ning Shaobai immediately asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
Xia Mian also said anxiously, "It's okay, it's okay."
However, Ning Shaobai didn't believe it, "Your hand is injured?"
Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Yeah."
Xia Mian touched his head with a smile and hurriedly explained, "It's not my hand that's injured, it's the other person's hand."
Xiao Feng nodded again, "Yeah, the bad guy's hand was injured and he cried."
Ning Shaobai breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death by you guys, what happened?"
Xia Mian smiled and said, "It's okay, there were just a lot of people when I came out, and I ran into a pervert."
"Don't worry, I removed his wrist."
Ning Shaobai didn't say anything for a long while, and finally sighed and said, "I can't let you go out alone next time."
Xia Mian deliberately asked, "Why? Are you afraid that wherever I go, there will be corpses everywhere?"
Ning Shaobai paused, then chuckled, "No, I'm afraid I'll worry too much before you come back."
The four words "overly worried" somehow convey a sense of tenderness, and it's clear that it's not just about worrying about her.
aestivation:…
"I heard that worrying too much can cause baldness." Xia Mian said worriedly, "Doctor Ning, please take care of yourself. I don't want to see you bald when I go back."
Ning Shaobai: …
Xiao Feng suddenly said, "You can wear a wig."
Ning Shaobai: …I’m not bald yet.
Xia Mian laughed.
Ning Shaobai said, "Yes, your aunt is the most experienced. Xiaofeng, do you still remember when your aunt was bald? Did she look good?"
Xiao Feng said without hesitation: "It looks good."
aestivation:…
It was Ning Shaobai's turn to laugh.
The two hurt each other for a while and then hung up the phone.
Xia Mian and Xiao Liu went to pick up the checked luggage together and drove directly back to Mingxi County.
At around three or four in the afternoon, the car stopped in front of Uncle Xia's house.
Because we had contacted them in advance, everyone at home was waiting.
As soon as the car stopped, Qiangqiang's voice was heard, "I'm back, I'm back!"
When Xia Mian got out of the car carrying Xiao Feng, Uncle Xia, Aunt Xia and the three brothers of the Xia family all came out to greet them.
"Okay, okay." Uncle Xia was relieved when he saw the two children. He said with a relaxed look, "Yan City is indeed a place to support people."
"That's right," the aunt stepped forward and touched Xiao Feng's head lovingly, looking at her carefully and said, "Our Xiao Feng is really good-looking."
Although Xia Mian was busy with studies in the past two years, Xia Wenyue, Ning Shaoyun and Ning Shaobai all took care of Xiao Feng. With the company of his two friends Mao Huizhu and Chenchen, the child never suffered any grievances.
Compared to her previous skinny and petite appearance, not only has she grown taller, but she is also full of fat. Today, she is wearing a pair of red Mickey Mouse short-sleeved shirt and shorts, looking very cute.
His personality has also become much more generous.
The child smiled at his aunt and said softly, "Grandma."
The aunt was a little surprised, "Xiao Feng still remembers grandma?"
Xia Mian touched his head and said proudly, "His brain is very good, he can remember everything."
Xia Chuan didn't believe it, so he ran over and asked, "Who am I?"
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Uncle Xiaochuan."
Xia Chuan was surprised, and then he brought Qiang Qiang over, "Come, look at him, and then look at yourself, you little brat, do you remember who this is?"
Qiangqiang rolled his eyes at him, "Uncle San, do you wish I was a fool? Can we call each other every New Year?"
"You said at noon that my Mian Gu and Xiao Feng were coming back. Who could they be? Which of us is stupid, you or me?"
"Hey!" Xia Chuan raised his hand to hit him.
Qiangqiang immediately rushed behind Xia Mian, made faces at him, then held Xia Mian's hand and said, "Mian Gu, you're finally back. I missed you guys so much."
Xia Mian didn't believe him, and pulled his ear and said, "Do you miss me or my food?"
Qiangqiang laughed, "I want to, Yan City has a lot of delicious food, I also want to eat cream cake."
Xia Hai said with a dark face, "What else do you know how to do besides eating? Your aunt Mian just came back, don't bother them, come here!"
"Yes, let's go home quickly." Uncle Xia said, and Xia Mian took Xiao Feng's hand and followed his aunt home.
The three Xia Hai brothers helped Xiao Liu take down the luggage and carried it back.
"Why are there so many?!" Uncle Xia asked in surprise, "How did you get them back?"
"My second aunt prepared it," Xia Mian said, "and checked it in."
Xia Chuan sighed and said, "It seems that Second Aunt is doing a good job." He asked curiously, "Did Second Aunt really open a factory and become a big boss?"
Uncle Xia glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you afraid that the Mao family won't cause trouble?"
Xia Chuan stuck out his tongue and said, "I know, I know, I wonder where Second Aunt is hiding."
Xia Mian asked in confusion, "Why is the Mao family still making trouble? Didn't they say the matter has been resolved?"
When Mao Zhishan's third grandmother moved in next door to the Mao family, old lady Mao naturally knew that Mao Zhishan's family had run away.
She cried and screamed as if the sky had fallen. Of course, she was not worried about her second son's family, but she had already accepted the betrothal gift from the Hao family and had no way to explain it.
Speaking of this, Xia Chuan couldn't help but spit, "That old lady Mao was really determined to marry Huimei off, but later when things got out of hand, we found out that she actually accepted a betrothal gift of more than 30,000 yuan from the Hao family."
You should know that in Mingxi County, a bride price of 6,660 is very decent.
The old lady took so much betrothal gifts, she would definitely not let Mao Huimei go.
Xia He was also scared when he talked about this, "Luckily I followed you, otherwise Huimei would not be able to escape."
Xia Mian was curious, "How do you say that?"
Xia He said, "The old lady gave some of the betrothal gifts to the families of Mao Lao Da and Mao Lao San." At this point, he said disdainfully, "Second uncle didn't even know that his daughter was marrying him, but the eldest and third brothers enjoyed it first."
Xia Chuan gloated, "It's so beautiful when you enjoy it, but so ugly when you spit it out."
Xia He also laughed, "That's right. Later, when Huimei couldn't be found, the Hao family asked the old lady to return the betrothal gift."
"The eldest and third sons of the Mao family had spent all their money. The eldest son bought a color TV and a refrigerator, and the third son built a house for his son. Anyway, they had nothing to give, so Hao, the richest man in the family, found a reason to arrest the two."
Xia He said, "In fact, I think they probably want to use this method to force Huimei."
If Mao Zhishan or Xia Wenyue were arrested and forced Mao Huimei to marry, Mao Zhishan's family would be completely helpless.
In a small place with little information, this kind of collusion between officials and businessmen is really disgusting. Xia Mian asked, "So how are they doing now?"
"What can we do? We can just collect the money to pay back the betrothal gift." Xia Chuan said gloatingly, "Not only do we have to pay back the betrothal gift, but we also have to pay a fine to redeem the person."
"I heard that each person paid 3,000 yuan, but they spent more than 6,000 yuan. The Mao family lost more than they gained."
Xia Mian said happily, "You deserve it!"
Uncle Xia told Xia Mian, "Then don't tell outsiders about your second aunt. The Mao family is having a hard time right now. If they get desperate, it will be troublesome."
Xia Mian asked, "They came to our house to make trouble, right?"
It's easy to imagine that Xia Wenyue and her three children finally disappeared in the Xia family. Since the Mao family was forced to this point, how could they not come and make trouble
But Uncle Xia never mentioned it in the past two years.
Xia Chuan patted her head and said proudly, "Are we afraid of them?"
Uncle Xia also said, "Although our Xia family is not the richest, we are not unknown in Mingxi County. As long as we are right, we are not afraid of trouble. Just tell your second aunt to rest assured."
Xia Mian couldn't help but hold Uncle Xia's arm, "Uncle, you are so handsome."
Uncle Xia had three sons, and his grandson was also naughty. He had never been spoiled by a little girl like this before. He was stunned for a moment, and his usually serious face unconsciously smiled and wrinkled. "What are you talking about?"
"You're telling the truth." Xia Mian smiled, "With uncle around, I'm not afraid of anything." It's especially safe to have an elder standing behind you who is willing to protect you from the wind and rain.
She gave Uncle Xia a thumbs up and said, "So handsome."
Uncle Xia couldn't help but laugh.
The group walked into the house chatting and laughing. The dining table had already been set. Smelling the fragrance in the air, Xia Mian swallowed.
Xia Hai's wife Li Fang had already placed the stools. "You must be starving. Come and sit down."
Xia Hai is responsible for arranging Xiao Liu.
Qiangqiang quickly pulled Xiaofeng to the table and sat down. Then he placed a beautifully polished wooden bowl in front of Xiaofeng with a "Duang" sound. "Xiaofeng, this is a bowl specially prepared for you."
“Qiang Qiang!” Xia Hai raised his hand habitually, glanced at Xiao Feng, remembered something, put his hand down again, and said angrily, “Can’t you put it down slower? You’re scaring your brother.”
Qiangqiang had already shrunk his neck, but when he saw that his father didn't beat him, he was still confused.
Xia Chuan beside him touched Xiao Feng's head and said, "Don't be afraid, your brother is a naughty boy and he is not mean to you."
A light bulb suddenly lit up in Qiangqiang’s head: When his brother Xiaofeng was around, he would never get beaten no matter what he did!
The author has something to say: Qiangqiang: I’m going to take Xiaofeng to the roof and tear off the tiles!
