After a night of silence, Zhou Yang was picked up by Li Youwei at around four o'clock in the morning the next day!
Looking at the pale sky outside, Zhou Yang said speechlessly: "My wife, it's still early!"
"It's getting late. We must get to the county seat before eight o'clock, otherwise we will miss the bus to Ning City. And the eldest brother also said yesterday that he will be here at five o'clock at the latest!" Li Youwei said.
Zhou Yang knew that this girl was going to meet her parents-in-law, and he felt nervous and excited, so he didn't say anything more and got up immediately to wash up.
Before half past four, they had everything packed up.
It's just that compared to the two energetic adults, Bao'er is obviously not very energetic.
She hadn't woken up yet, and she was leaning on Zhou Yang in a daze. She didn't even drink her favorite brown sugar porridge.
But that’s how children are, they will be full of energy when they wake up!
Sure enough, before five o'clock, the sound of "ding bells, clang, clang" came from outside.
Later, Zhou Yang saw Li Jianguo driving the production team's red mule cart outside the gate of his house.
Pushing open the simple wooden door, Li Jianguo walked in. He saw Li Youwei busy in the yard and said, "Xiaowei, are you all ready?"
"Everything is ready!"
"Then let's go!" Li Jianguo said.
Zhou Yang walked out of the house with Bao'er in his arms and asked, "Have you had breakfast, brother?"
"No, I'm not hungry!"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "It's okay if you don't eat it. Wife, please make a bowl of malted milk for my brother, and then make a bowl of biscuits!"
Just when Li Jianguo was about to refuse, Li Youwei pulled him into the room.
After taking a simple bite, Li Jianguo moved a large bag of luggage prepared in the house to the car, while Li Youwei locked the door.
Afterwards, the group drove the mule cart straight to the county seat!
It was already past seven o'clock when we arrived at the county seat. At this time, Bao'er, who had been sleeping in Zhou Yang's arms for a while, also woke up.
Seeing people coming and going in the county town, the little girl was full of curiosity, looking left and right, looking particularly happy.
Knowing that the little girl had not eaten in the morning, Zhou Yang asked his uncle to stop for a while when passing by the state-owned hotel.
Then he went down and bought two big meat buns for his baby daughter, and took out the porridge that was packed in the lunch box in the morning.
Just let the little girl sit in his arms, eat meat buns and drink porridge!
Soon, the mule cart arrived at the Yunshan County bus station!
Although this was not Zhou Yang's first time here, he was still shocked by the dilapidation of the small station in front of him.
The small station in front of me is too simple and shabby. The entire station has only two small rooms, each of which is only about ten square meters.
To put it bluntly, this small station may not be as big as a toilet in a regular station in future generations!
It doesn’t matter if it’s small, the most important thing is that it’s broken!
Both houses are made of soft inside and hard outside, that is, they are made of mud bricks on the inside and surrounded by a brick wall on the outside.
From the outside, it seems to be something like that, but from the inside, it seems to be degrading.
I saw that a lot of white dust had fallen off the wall inside, and there were even many big and small holes on it. I don't know how they were made.
Moreover, the staff at such a county-level bus station are pitiful, with only three or two kittens at a glance.
Fortunately, there are not many people waiting to buy tickets. After all, if there is nothing important these days, everyone is reluctant to go out.
Not to mention the various procedures and troubles, a poor family and a wealthy family without enough financial resources really cannot afford to get out of this house.
When he arrived at the bus stop, Li Jianguo was in no hurry to leave.
He asked Zhou Yang to go to another room to buy tickets, while he helped look after Li Youwei, mother and daughter and their luggage in the waiting room!
Although the public security is pretty good these days, there is no shortage of people who commit petty theft.
Li Youwei was carrying her luggage alone and had a child with her, so she was easily targeted by thieves.
It wasn't until Zhou Yang came back from buying the ticket that Li Jianguo could safely drive the mule cart back the same way.
........
At eight o'clock in the morning, the bus departed from the county seat on time without stopping at all.
Cars in this era were all run by the government, and the profits and losses were paid for by the local finance, so both the driver and the conductor would just leave when they arrived and would not care about anything else.
Unlike later generations, most passenger vehicles are private or company-owned, and the salaries of drivers and conductors are linked to performance.
Therefore, many people's cars clearly set off at 8 o'clock, but after leaving the bus station, they wandered on the streets of the county town until the bus was full of people.
Zhou Yang is still very satisfied with this!
It was Bao'er's first time taking a bus and she seemed very happy.
She sat in Li Youwei's arms, her little head lying on the window, and her eyes curiously looked at the scenery passing by outside.
After leaving the county town, the car began to accelerate.
But in Zhou Yang's opinion, this speed is not very fast, no more than 40 kilometers per hour at most.
After all, it’s already quite good for a small broken-down car to reach this speed on a rural gravel road like this, so what else do you need for a bicycle!
Zhou Yang was picked up by Li Youwei early in the morning, and he originally wanted to squint in the car for a while.
But this car is really bumpy, and we have to constantly prevent the driver from braking suddenly.
In desperation, he could only give up the idea of sleeping and accompany his daughter to watch the scenery outside the window.
I have to say that the natural scenery these days is really great.
There are not so many traces of industrialization, and most of the scenery is purely natural. Apart from the fact that it is poor, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
The little girl's enthusiasm came and went in a hurry, even catching people off guard.
Less than half an hour after the car left the city, Baoer was tired of seeing the scenery along the way!
Then this girl began to pester her mother, and would ask Grandpa Li Youwei every few minutes when she would arrive.
Li Youwei herself is a very patient woman, but she couldn't bear the fact that her girl was so annoying. After being mentally bombarded for more than half an hour, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He directly put Bao'er on Zhou Yang's lap and said, "You little troublemaker, you'd better go find your dad!"
Zhou Yang knew that if he allowed this girl to act freely, he would not be able to be clean on this journey. He immediately said decisively: "Bao'er, daddy, let me tell you a story!"
"Well, Bao'er likes to hear the stories daddy tells the most!"
The little girl said with shining eyes, looking at Zhou Shen with expectation.
Zhou Yang touched Bao'er's little head, and a gentle and magnetic voice rang in the little girl's ears: "Today the story my father told me called wolf. Once upon a time, there lived a liar in a small village. Sheep-herding boy..."
