After the meal, Gong Zhixuan drove them to the station to buy tickets and then sent them back to the guest house.
The cost of staying in the guest house this time was borne by the Public Security Bureau.
Cheng Jingmo hadn't slept a wink for two days and two nights. He returned to the guest house, took a shower and went to bed.
At ten o'clock the next day, the three of them got on the bus bound for Ping County.
The road is gravel and bumpy all the way.
After a little more than ten hours of driving, Yu Xiangnian's bones were shaken by the jolt.
It was around eight o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Pingcheng. The three of us had dinner at a restaurant and stayed at a guest house.
Yu Xiangnian didn't even have the energy to go to the bathhouse to take a bath, so he washed up casually and went to bed.
The next morning, the three of them first bought tickets to the countryside and then went to the department store to buy things.
Before they left home, Zhao Ruozhu told Yu Xiangnian several times to buy clothes for Cheng Jingmo's parents and a few kilograms of candy to take home.
The department stores in small county towns have not yet launched the new spring styles, and the clothes in them are all heavy cotton jackets and trousers.
Yu Xiangnian thinks she needs something like this!
The temperature in Ping County is two or three degrees lower than Sucheng. Yu Xiangnian feels that the spring here is colder than the winter in Nancheng!
In the face of the cold, Yu Xiangnian couldn't care less about beauty.
She planned to buy two cotton-padded clothes for herself and two for Xiaojie.
Cheng Jingmo didn't want it, saying that he grew up in the mountains and didn't feel cold.
Cheng Jingmo chose a bright red cotton-padded jacket for Yu Xiangnian.
Yu Xiangnian was so shocked that he couldn't even say anything!
Is she wearing this outfit going to the red carpet in Cannes? !
Cheng Jingmo saw that Yu Xiangnian didn't like him, not just dislike, but resistance.
He explained: "Our women here all like this."
Yu Xiangnian shook his head violently and protested solemnly.
Cheng Jingmo was also in trouble, "There are no colors to choose from."
That's right, just three colors.
One is bright red, one is dark gray, and one is navy blue.
The other two colors do not have any patterns and are more suitable for older women.
"Buy one." Cheng Jingmo said, "Maybe my family will set up a few banquets for me, so I can wear this festive outfit."
Yu Xiangnian: "..."
A little annoyed, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The purpose of setting up a few banquet tables is to hold a wedding for the two of them, so she must make some beautiful clothes to wear at the wedding!
Cheng Jingmo saw Yu Xiangnian's thoughts and said, "You look good in whatever you wear. You don't need to prepare anything specially."
Yu Xiangnian was confused and angry, "What do you know?!"
It wasn't her at the last wedding, and she's going to dress so ugly this time!
Cheng Jingmo saw that Yu Xiangnian was jealous and a little at a loss.
He really felt that Yu Xiangnian looked good in anything he wore, and even better when he wasn't wearing anything.
Fortunately, at this time, Xiaojie spoke very sensibly, "Aunt, my uncle is right. You look good in whatever you wear. All the aunts in the family home said so."
These words successfully pleased Yu Xiangnian.
"Did they really say that?" she asked.
"Yeah!" Xiaojie nodded heavily.
Yu Xiangnian glared at Cheng Jingmo angrily and asked angrily: "Do all the women in your place wear this when they get married?"
Cheng Jingmo also nodded heavily.
Finally, Yu Xiangnian bought a set of floral cotton-padded jackets and two sets of gray cotton-padded jackets.
I also bought a set of navy blue ones for each of Cheng Jingmo’s parents, and two sets for Xiaojie.
They bought so many cotton-padded jackets at once that their boxes would definitely not be able to fit them all.
Yu Xiangnian bought another large woven bag to hold these clothes, and ten pounds of fruit candies wrapped in red candy wrappers.
Yu Xiangnian returned to the guest house's bathhouse and took a shower, then put on a gray cotton-padded jacket.
The few clothes she brought from home were unable to withstand the cold here.
At night, Yu Xiangnian leaned against the wall and didn't want to talk to Cheng Jingmo.
Cheng Jingmo hugged her from behind and said, "Nian Nian..."
Yu Xiangnian ignored him.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't sure if they would have a banquet, so I didn't tell you."
Yu Xiangnian still ignored him.
Cheng Jingmo gently took Yu Xiangnian's earlobe into his mouth, and Yu Xiangnian turned him over with his hands, but he turned him over instead.
Cheng Jingmo's eyes were full of lust, and Yu Xiangnian could feel it on his legs.
"I was wrong, I promise there won't be a next time." His voice was a little hoarse, "Niannian..."
From the night before we left home to today, we haven't touched each other for more than a week.
As newlyweds, the two of them taste sweetness for the first time, and they are on the verge of breaking out at any casual touch.
Yu Xiangnian swallowed, and his eyes softened unconsciously, "Keep your word."
"count!"
Yu Xiangnian hooked his hands around Cheng Jingmo's neck and greeted him with red lips.
Cheng Jingmo was particularly fierce that night, and Yu Xiangnian didn't know when he fell asleep.
The result of excessive indulgence was that Cheng Jingmo's biological clock was disrupted.
People who usually wake up at the right time woke up more than two hours late.
When the three of them rushed to the station with their bags packed, the car had already driven away.
Looking at the empty parking space, Cheng Jingmo lowered his head shyly and guiltily, while Yu Xiangnian was angry and wanted to laugh.
She had been working hard for a long time last night, and her legs were sore, so she had to jog to catch the car again early in the morning.
But, I haven’t caught up yet!
It takes four hours to get from the county seat to the countryside, and there is another bus at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Cheng Jingmo asked Yu Xiangnian, "Should we stay one more night in the county town or wait for the afternoon bus?"
Looking at two large boxes, a large woven bag, and a large backpack.
Yu Xiangnian didn't want to run a few more times, "Just wait for the next bus at the station."
"Then I'll buy a ticket."
When the three of them arrived in the countryside, it was seven o'clock in the evening and the sky was already gray.
Cheng Jingmo searched around the rural streets but couldn't find the carriage.
It takes more than two hours of horse-drawn carriage ride back to the village.
There was no guest house or place to stay in the countryside, but if they had to walk, it would take at least four hours, not to mention they were carrying so much luggage.
Now it’s really difficult to ride a tiger!
Besides, Cheng Jingmo didn't want his family to worry. When he was working on a case with Gong Zhixuan in Sucheng a few days ago, he passed by the post office and sent a telegram to his family.
He said yes and he would be home tonight at the latest.
If I can't go back tonight, I wonder if my family will be worried.
Yu Xiangnian angrily punched Cheng Jingmo, "I'll let you go!"
Cheng Jingmo looked like a child who had made a mistake, lowering his head and said, "I'm sorry."
Cheng Jingmo thought about letting Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie wait here while he quickly went back alone.
Go to the village and find a carriage, or ask a family member to help with your luggage.
But it was already dark, and he was worried about leaving them here!
There's no point in being angry!
Yu Xiangnian looked at the increasingly dark sky and said, "Let's go!"
