The 1,800-kilometer journey took Cui Xiangdong and others a full 25 hours.
It's not like there was any accident on the road.
After arriving in Dongguang, Cui Xiangdong asked everyone to rest in the car for a few hours.
Their group totaled 11 vehicles and 23 people.
Wang Dynasty and others often traveled long distances to haul goods, and they all brought iron bars and other things with them in their vehicles. They didn't have to worry about encountering road tyrants on the road, who were relatively arrogant in this era.
When the car just got on the highway.
Whether it was Min Rou sitting in the passenger seat or Lao Lou sitting in the back, they both looked very excited.
Always stick your head out of the car window and enjoy the scenery along the way.
But as the sun gets higher and higher and the road ends in sight, they gradually lose interest.
I fell asleep unconsciously.
It’s just a pain for Cui Xiangdong, the groom——
Finally arrived at the destination.
Cui Xiangdong did not let Chao Chao and others drive directly to the fish market in the east district of Yangcheng City, but parked on the roadside a few kilometers away.
Asking Lao Lou to accompany them to find a place to have some breakfast, Cui Xiangdong took Min Rou to the local clothing market to inquire.
"Uncle, there are so many people here. I have never seen so many people when I was in our county."
Min Rou grabbed Cui Xiangdong's back collar tightly and couldn't help but look around.
Even though it was early in the morning and the clothing market had just opened, it was still crowded.
Most people come here to purchase goods.
Human-powered three-wheelers and flatbed trucks loaded with large bags of various clothes kept coming and going.
"How can our county town compare with here? Even our provincial town will not be as prosperous as here in thirty years."
Cui Xiangdong also looked around and asked, "Do you remember what I said?"
On the way here.
Cui Xiangdong taught Min Rou a lot of things that must be paid attention to when going out.
The most important thing is to bring cash with you.
In order to allow Min Rou to start work early, Cui Xiangdong specially asked her to carry two thousand yuan in cash with her.
He also told her that she would have to pay for all the basic expenses in Yangcheng.
Because Cui Xiangdong will definitely not come next time he comes to sell fish.
"I remember."
Min Rou nodded vigorously.
Cui Xiangdong said casually: "Okay, tell me the three most important things."
"First, after hiding the money, you must not always worry about it being stolen, so you can't help but reach out and touch the wallet. That will remind the pickpocket and notice me."
When Min Rou said this, she quietly let go of Cui Xiangdong's shirt with her left hand, and quickly rubbed it where the wallet was hidden.
After feeling the thickness of the wallet, Min Rou felt much more at ease.
"two."
Min Rou started to talk about the second point: "When you go out, no matter where you go, how many people are around you. You have to hold your head high and be calm. That way, others can't see that I am a foreign girl. They will only think that I am a local. , then you won’t have bad ideas about me.”
She said, holding her head high subconsciously.
Cui Xiangdong was just about to avoid a person walking towards her carrying a large bag of clothes, and stepped diagonally in front of her.
As soon as Min Rou stood up, she actually bumped into his back.
His face immediately turned red, as if he had been electrocuted, and his legs felt a little weak.
Fortunately, the crowds around us were bustling, and it was normal for strangers to bump into each other.
Cui Xiangdong felt at most that someone had lightly touched his back with a balloon or something, but he didn't care: "Well, what about the third element?"
"The third element is to look friendly and kind when you see the elderly and children."
Seeing that he didn't notice anything, Min Rou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "When you see young people, especially when they judge themselves as not good people, they should look indifferent and try to be as high-spirited as possible. This can make people think that I am a capable person. People with different backgrounds will reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.”
"As long as you keep these three elements in mind, you can basically ensure your safety even when you go out."
Seeing more and more people in the market, Cui Xiangdong was really afraid that Min Rou would be crowded out.
The two of them didn't have mobile phones, so they were really going to be separated. Min Rou, a girl, was very dangerous.
Cui Xiangdong simply raised his hand and held Min Rou's little hand.
The corners of Min Rou's brows and eyes immediately twitched rapidly.
An intoxicating blush quickly appeared on her face, as if she was sleepwalking.
But I can clearly feel the deepest desire in my heart: "How great would it be if I could let my uncle hold hands and walk for the rest of my life?"
I don’t know how long it took.
Min Rou suddenly felt that her left ear was being pulled.
She blinked——
Then I heard Cui Xiangdong's voice, whispering in my ear: "With a silly smile on your face, are you dreaming? I've talked to you several times, but I can't hear you!"
ah?
Min Rou wakes up.
The bustling people around, the noises with southern and northern accents, the colorful clothes in front of her, and other sights suddenly flooded into her world.
She actually sleepwalked for half an hour!
Fortunately, in this short period of time, Cui Xiangdong always held her hand even when he was buying clothes.
Otherwise, she will definitely be taken away by others.
This kind of pretty, timid, and especially pure and natural little beauty, the market situation in a certain market is very good.
"Uncle, me."
Min Rou wanted to explain something, but she didn't know what to say.
"Hold your head high and look calm."
After seeing someone paying attention, Cui Xiangdong didn't bother to ask her what happened just now and reminded her in a low voice.
Definitely the most instinctive conditioned reflex——
Min Rou immediately held her head high and her expression was indifferent.
Especially the way her long eyelashes slightly cover her eyelids clearly sends this message: "I just look down on everyone here, so what?"
"Take the money out."
Cui Xiangdong nodded with satisfaction and said again.
While Min Rou was "sleepwalking," Cui Xiangdong found a clothing stall near the entrance of the market and bought her a copycat Prada skirt.
Part of the money Cui Xiangdong brought was given to Min Rou and part to Lao Lou.
He bought clothes for Min Rou, so she naturally had to pay for them.
"oh."
Min Rou agreed, lowered her head and was about to withdraw the money, but realized something and whispered: "Uncle, there are too many people here. It's difficult to get the money."
Cui Xiangdong thought that she said it was difficult to get money because there were too many people around and it was not good to show off money.
Just say: "It's okay, as long as I'm by your side, no one dares to take your ideas away."
"Oh. But I'm still a little nervous."
Min Rou said, turned around to face Cui Xiangdong, lowered her head and began to untie her belt.
All her money was hidden in the small cloth bag of her shorts (which she sewed on deliberately. This is where she hid her living expenses when she went to the county town to study).
In front of Cui Xiangdong, she had to untie the strip of cloth (rural people these days basically use strips of cloth as belts). Min Rou was shy and nervous, and her hands couldn't help trembling.
I just can't undo that button.
Cui Xiangdong looked up at the clothes on the shelf and urged impatiently: "Take it out quickly? It's too long!"
"Right away, right away!"
Min Rou pulled hard.
After dragging it for a long time——
When Cui Xiangdong urged again, Min Rou said in a tearful tone: "Uncle, I can't untie my belt."
(Min Rou looks innocent)
