Chapter 43 Encounter
Gu Aijun and Zheng Fang took their eldest son Gu Nan and eldest daughter-in-law Zhao Yan to the countryside to find Gu Xia.
The second eldest child, Gu Yu, and his wife were left at home to look after the children.
They bought train tickets for eleven o'clock at night, and they would not arrive in Jixiang County until nine o'clock the next morning.
When you arrive in Jixiang County, if everything goes well, you can reach Yeliu Village by taking an ox cart for more than an hour.
But nowadays it is difficult to buy a train sleeper. Gu Aijun and the others sat on the hard seats all night, swaying along the way and barely sleeping a wink.
As they get older, they really can't stand it.
When I got off the train, I felt like I was falling apart. My face looked haggard, and I seemed to have aged more than ten years.
You deserve this!
"Dad, Mom, if you want me to tell you, just let me and my second son come back for a while. If you insist on following us, the hard work of traveling alone is enough for you."
Gu Nan looked at the haggard expressions of his parents and muttered distressedly.
"Okay, stop talking. If I don't go there myself, I won't be at ease at all." Zheng Fang rubbed her face and pulled her hair twice to cheer herself up.
"Your father and I are only in our fifties, not even seventy or eighty yet. Taking a train all night is not a punishment. Your sister has been living in the countryside these years, and it has been a hard life!
Look, except for Na Tian Xiao'e, the female educated youths who came back all look seven or eight years older than the girls in the city of the same age. "
As Zheng Fang spoke, her eyes turned red again because she felt sorry for Gu Xia.
"She didn't do it on her own." Gu Nan couldn't help but muttered.
Zheng Fang glared at him.
"Stop talking!" Zhao Yan patted her husband's arm and said to her mother-in-law with a smile,
"Mom, we didn't eat much on the train. Why don't we find a place to eat, maybe some hot soup?"
"Xiaoyan is right. Let's have a full meal first before we have the strength to continue on the road. We can't deal with bad situations until we reach Yeliu Village."
Gu Aijun also agreed.
Zheng Fang had no objection.
Although they were unfamiliar with the place, there was already a stall selling breakfast near the train station.
Just pay, no food stamps required.
They ate some fried dough sticks and drank a bowl of hot soup. They suddenly felt warm and less tired.
Four people were well fed and spent a total of one dollar.
After breakfast, they asked someone how to get to Yeliu Village and where to wait for the bus.
But not everyone in the city knows how to get around the countryside. After all, there are so many villages and towns near the county seat.
They asked about ten people, and finally an old man pointed them to a roadside and told them to wait there. If there was an ox cart passing by, they would ask if they wanted to go to Yeliu Village.
After thanking the old man, Gu Aijun and the others waited at the roadside with the package.
The wait lasted for more than an hour. At first, several people stood still, but later they became so tired that they sat on their luggage bags and waited.
We encountered two oxcarts in total, and neither of them were going to Yeliu Village.
"There's no bus from here to the countryside. How long will it take?" Gu Nan couldn't help complaining.
"It's just luck."
Zhao Yan sighed, regretting that she had been curious for a while and wanted to see her sister-in-law's life in the country, so she impulsively followed her.
Before Gu Xia went to the countryside, she had not yet married Gu Nan.
Therefore, she had never met Gu Xia once, but she had seen the photos at home and knew she was a beauty.
However, although she had never met Gu Xia, she did not feel strange to this sister-in-law because her parents-in-law often talked about her.
Anyway, in her impression, Gu Xia is a willful, mindless little girl who does things based on her mood and is not mature at all.Whether she signed up to go to the countryside to be an educated youth, or she got married and had children in the countryside, these all showed that she was impulsive and naive.
Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel worried when she thought of this.
When my sister-in-law returns to the city, she must live with them.
The house is already crowded enough now, and with the addition of a pampered sister-in-law... well, life may not be easy.
After returning to the city, I still have to marry my sister-in-law as soon as possible.
You can't stay in your parents' house forever.
"Hey, a bullock cart is coming over there, go and ask."
Zhao Yan looked to the left and saw an ox cart approaching. Her eyes lit up immediately and she pushed Gu Nan to ask.
Gu Nan also quickly stood up, trotted to the bullock cart, and asked politely with a smile,
"Hello, comrade. Is your ox cart going to Yeliu Village?"
"I'm from Yeliu Village. If you want a ride, just come up." The person who replied was Ye Jialei, who was returning from selling goods.
Because it was discussed last night that a villagers' meeting would be held today to discuss the village cooperative, he simply did not purchase any more goods today and let everyone have a day off.
The bullock cart happened to be empty, so it would be no problem to pick up Gu Nan and the others.
"Oh, that's great! Thank you, comrade! Thank you very much. We don't know how long we would have waited until we met you."
When Gu Nan heard Ye Jialei say that he was from Yeliu Village, he almost jumped up with joy.
After thanking him repeatedly, he ran back to his wife and the others, smiled and said loudly,
"We are lucky! This comrade happens to be from Yeliu Village. Let's just get on his ox cart and follow him."
Gu Aijun and Zheng Fang also stood up with a smile and looked at Ye Jialei, the man driving the car.
The first impression is good.
Ye Jialei is handsome and steady, and his clothes are clean and unpatched. To be honest, just looking at his dress and temperament, you can't tell that he is a country boy.
Ye Jialei drove the ox cart to them, jumped out of the cart, and took the initiative to help them get their luggage.
"Oh, comrade, no, no, we can do it ourselves. Thank you very much."
Gu Aijun stopped Ye Jialei's hand, shook his affectionately, and asked,
"Comrade, what's your name?"
"I am the third oldest child in the family, just call me Ye San." Ye Jialei said.
"Hello, Comrade Ye." Gu Aijun shook his hand cordially and thanked him again.
"You don't have to be so polite." Ye Jialei said.
After the luggage was put away and they all sat down, Ye Jialei patted the cow's butt and set off again.
He is not a talkative person, nor is he very curious, so he does not take the initiative to ask who these people are looking for in the village.
But he didn't ask. Gu Aijun and the others wanted to ask him first about Gu Xia and her husband's family in the countryside.
They felt that they were all from the same village and knew the situation for sure.
They knew about it in advance and could be prepared.
"Comrade, you should know Ye Jialei from your village, right? What kind of person is he? How is his family doing? Is he treating his wife well?"
Zheng Fang was a little careful and didn't ask Gu Xia directly.
She was afraid that if Gu Xia was really locked up, the people in this village would be colluding, not telling the truth and helping the people in the village.
When Ye Jialei heard that the other party wanted to inquire about him, he immediately tensed up, turned his head, and looked at the four of them carefully this time.
