On the bullock cart, Xia Yao closed his eyes and meditated, holding a child tightly in one hand.
Lu Changbai was held by her hand, and a blush quickly appeared on his thin face.
Lu Tiantian leaned in Xia Yao's arms, sucking her fingers.
The people in the Qingshui Brigade are simple and honest, and they also remember the kindness of the Lu family back then, but there is only one family left.
That is Cheng Dahua's family.
Cheng Dahua stared at Xia Yao with unkind eyes all the way, as if he wanted to poke a hole in Xia Yao's face.
But Xia Yao slept all the way to the county seat, and even the bumpy bullock cart couldn't wake her up.
At the gate of the county town, Xia Yao rubbed his eyes. Cheng Dahua blinked his dry eyes and glared at Xia Yao fiercely.
Xia Yao was stunned: "What is she doing?"
The corners of Su Linlin's mouth twitched a few times, but in the end she couldn't say a word.
She was a little tired.
"Let's go." Su Linlin gritted her teeth, looked at Mr. Li again, and smiled flatteringly, "Mr. Li is coming too."
"No!" Public Security Li said with a straight face, "We will never take advantage of the people."
But when he talked to Xia Yao, his attitude became much gentler: "You will go to the bureau later. There are still some things to explain."
Su Linlin on the side listened to these words, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
But she wanted to ask but didn't dare, so she could only watch Mr. Li leave.
"Xia Yao, do you think Public Security Li and the others have anything else to tell you?" Su Linlin smiled very stiffly, "Didn't they already give you rewards?"
After hearing this, Xia Yao thought carefully for a while and said quietly: "Maybe he thinks those traffickers are a little weird. After all, they used to commit crimes in Southern Province. How could they suddenly come to our small county?" ?”
"Oops!" Xia Yao slapped his head and looked at Su Linlin worriedly, "What should I do? My parents are both in Nan Province, and I'm a little worried!"
Su Linlin's smile became even more forced. Her face turned a little pale. When she saw the sign of the state-owned hotel, she wanted to see a savior. She quickly interrupted Xia Yao: "Let's go in quickly. It's almost nine o'clock."
Xia Yao immediately picked up Lu Tiantian and said, "Yes, let's go in quickly."
"Tiantian, your Aunt Su will treat us to big meat buns today!"
Xia Yao's words made Lu Tiantian's eyes light up. Lu Changbai, who was calm at the same time, also swallowed, but he thought his movements were small and no one saw them.
"You Aunt Su are the most generous." Xia Yao smiled sweetly at Su Linlin, "You can eat whatever you want."
Xia Yao waved his hand and put the two children in.
Su Linlin heard these words just as she calmed down from fear, and could hardly keep her smile on her face.
It was the first time for the two children to come to a state-owned restaurant. Their eyes were wide open and they didn't know where to put their hands. Although they wanted to eat meat buns, they were obedient and didn't open their mouths.
Su Linlin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at those steamed buns before going to check out.
But Xia Yao stretched out his hand and stopped her.
"Linlin, how can you only eat steamed buns?" Xia Yao opened his eyes wide and said disapproving words while calling the eldest sister standing at the door.
"Sister, what do we have to eat in the store today?"
The eldest sister took a closer look at Xia Yao's dress, and saw that her clothes were not patched, and her face became a little better: "You are lucky today. A cow fell to death in Yushui Village, and there are beef buns."
"But I have to tell you first, the beef buns are fifty cents each."
"Beef buns are rare!" Xia Yao's eyes lit up, "Give us ten!"
"Ten!"
Su Linlin's voice broke.
Her voice was too loud, and many people looked at her.
But Su Linlin is a person with a good face, and immediately lowered her voice: "There are only four of us, isn't it bad to eat so much? What if it is wasted?"
When Xia Yao heard this, his eyes widened innocently: "We need two of us to be full. If you invite us to eat steamed buns, you can't go hungry, right?"
"That's eight too!" Su Linlin lowered her voice, but her eagerness could still be heard.
Xia Yao replied in a long voice: "Is there still Lu Jing?"
While talking, Xia Yao frowned: "Linlin, don't you want to treat us to dinner?"
"I've treated you to state-owned restaurants dozens of times, are you reluctant to leave even once?" Xia Yao glanced at Su Linlin with disappointment and was about to leave with her children.
The looks from the people around her made Su Linlin's face ache. She immediately grabbed the eldest sister's hand: "I want... ten beef buns!"
The eldest sister glanced at Su Linlin and shouted toward the window: "Ten beef buns!"
Xia Yao just sat down, but the stool was not yet warm, so she was a little dissatisfied: "The steamed buns are too dry to eat."
Su Linlin gritted her teeth and said, "I'll buy three more cups of soy milk."
"Why three cups?" Xia Yao's eyes widened, "Linlin, aren't you going to drink?"
"I don't like drinking soy milk." Su Linlin forced a smile, "You can just drink it."
Xia Yao sighed: "You don't like drinking soy milk."
"Yes." Su Linlin's face became stiffer and stiffer as she spoke, and the breath in her chest couldn't come out at all.
She took a deep breath, but when she saw it, Xia Yao and Lu Tiantian had already started eating, and Lu Changbai carefully took the two beef buns for Lu Jing.
Su Linlin ate the beef buns, which didn't taste good at all.
When checking out, Su Linlin's hands were shaking.
She no longer wanted to ask anything from Xia Yao. She wanted to return to the educated youth center as soon as possible. It was best not to see Xia Yao in the past few days.
But Xia Yao would not give her this chance and dragged Su Linlin to the post office.
"Linlin, let's go to the post office and have a look!" Xia Yao said, "Maybe there is a letter from my parents! I will be able to pay you back then!"
When Su Linlin heard this, she became even more eager to go back.
But she couldn't free her hand and was dragged to the post office by Xia Yao.
The eldest lady at the counter recognized Xia Yao at a glance - Su Linlin behind him.
"You're here!" the eldest sister said enthusiastically, "Your parents have sent you a lot of things!"
Su Linlin subconsciously covered her face and said vaguely: "There are too many things. I will come back to get them next time."
Xia Yao's voice overshadowed her: "Sister, my name is Xia Yao. Do you have my letter?"
The eldest sister was stunned, glanced at Su Linlin, and then at Xia Yao: "Are you Xia Yao? What about her?"
"She is Su Linlin!" Xia Yao showed a harmless smile, "I haven't come to get a letter for several months. I wonder if my parents have sent me a letter?"
The eldest sister's face immediately became serious: "You said you are Xia Yao? What evidence do you have?"
Xia Yao was startled, but at this time, Su Linlin's hands and feet were trembling. She hated Xia Yao so much, but she had to lower her voice at this moment and said to Xia Yao in an unprecedentedly flattering voice: "Xia Yao, please help me. Bar!"
