Chapter 9 Once a good friend

Saturday, September 16, 2000.

On the shuttle bus from Baizhou County to Qingsha Town, Liu Xiahui was sleeping soundly with her arms raised and her head raised.

...

Bainiu Town, Liuxiahui’s hometown, is a very backward town. Because of its awkward geographical location, there was no shuttle bus to the county town in 2000.

If people from Bainiu Town want to go to the county town, they can only take the shuttle bus from Qingsha Town next door to the county town.

This is why Liu Xiahui returned to his hometown Bainiu Town but took the shuttle bus to Qingsha Town.

...

In order not to delay his white-cut chicken business, before preparing to return to his hometown, Liuxia Huitian got up before dawn, boiled water and killed chicken to make dipping sauce, and rushed to the station to take the bus after everything was done.

When it’s time to set up the stall, my sister will naturally set up the stall for him. This was agreed yesterday.

Because I got up too early today, I couldn't wait to start taking a rest as soon as I got on the bus.

Liu Xiahui was awakened by the violent vomiting sound. As soon as she opened her eyes, a very nauseating and sour smell came to her nose, and she almost vomited him.

The one who vomited was the aunt who was sitting with him. At this time, the other party was stretching his head out of the car window and vomiting.

Liu Xiahui didn't have to look outside the car. Just looking at the degree of shaking of the bus, you knew that the bus had returned to the area of ​​Bainiu Town.

Because when you return to your hometown from the county town, most of the roads are the excellent quality second-class highway that was just completed in the first half of the year. Only by entering the Bainiu Town area can you take this dilapidated fourth-class highway.

If Liu Xiahui remembers this "nine turns and eighteen turns" dilapidated highway, it will not be built into a third-class highway until the next year, and until his rebirth, it will be just a third-class highway.

Of course, when Liu Xiahui was reborn, the county had already established a project to build this road into a second-class highway.

However, that was already 2020, and Liu Xiahui couldn't see it anyway.

"I've arrived at Shantang, have anyone got off the bus?"

When Liu Xiahui was feeling the road in her hometown, the ticket seller in the car began to shout loudly.

This is also a local feature. Every time the bus passes through a village and town, the ticket seller on the bus will shout a few times, so that no one will overtake the car because of sleeping or not paying attention.

"The intersection ahead is down!"

After the ticket seller shouted, someone immediately responded.

At this time, the aunt sitting with Liu Xiahui had almost vomited, and she leaned her head against the car window like a dead dog, not wanting to move.

Seeing this, Liu Xiahui took out a tissue and handed it over, saying, "Auntie, wipe it. You are also from Bainiu Town. It will be around ten minutes before you can hold on!"

The aunt took the tissue and wiped her mouth, said weakly, and then stopped talking.

She has been sick more often and has rich experience. She knows that speaking or moving around at this time may cause vomiting again. Only those who are sick like her can experience the feeling.

Liu Xiahui's mother is also a serious motion sickness person. She basically vomits when she takes a car. Since she has seen her for a lot of time since she was a child, she naturally knows how uncomfortable it is to move sickness.

"Aunt, next time you take the bus, try buying a pack of melon seeds. You must buy the kind that smells rich and lasts for a long time, such as the five-spice melon seeds.

When you are riding the bus, tear a hole in the melon seeds, then stuff your nose and smell it until you get off the bus. The effect is really good (this is the author’s personal experience, very effective. If you have motion sickness, you can try it).

This method was discovered by my mother accidentally because she was also very motion sickness. I don’t know how many methods she tried were useless. It was not until she used this method that she greatly relieved the pain of motion sickness. Aunt, you can try it next time you take the bus!"

The aunt was stunned when she heard this. Can smell melon seeds cure motion sickness? Is it true or false?

"Young man, what you said is really effective?"

Liu Xiahui nodded and smiled, "It's really effective. Anyway, several people, including my mother, have tried it. Even if it cannot completely solve the problem of motion sickness, it can greatly alleviate the symptoms of motion sickness!"

When the aunt, who had been troubled by motion sickness, she couldn't help but feel excited when she heard this, she said quickly: "That's it, then I'll try it next time I take the bus. If it works, you'll really help me a lot!"

"It should work. If you are uncomfortable now, I won't tell you much, so as not to feel uncomfortable again later!"

"Young man, you're so nice, thank you!"

...

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the shuttle bus arrived at Bainiu Town on time as Liu Xiahui expected (Xu Town, which had only entered the area under Bainiu Town before).

After all, it was a town, and three or four people got off the bus one after another, including the car-sick aunt who was riding with Liu Xiahui. Before getting off the bus, the aunt expressed her gratitude to Liu Xiahui again.

After Liu Xiahui waved his hand and said, "You're welcome," he looked at the street building on the right. Because it was less than fifty meters ahead, the Liufu Hotel opened by his family. It has been twenty years since he saw this sign again (Liu Xiahui was reborn at San Shu's house in Yushi City). Liu Xiahui felt full of emotion.

When the bus passed by the back door of the hotel, the sharp-eyed Liu Xiahui saw her busy mother at a glance.

My mother was only 37 years old at this time, and she still looked very young compared to twenty years later.

Passing by the hotel at home is the gas station in Bainiu Town. After passing the gas station is the No. 1 Middle School, Guan Chunzhi’s oil pressing shop is diagonally opposite the No. 1 Middle School.

"No. 1 Middle School has arrived!"

As the ticket seller shouted, the bus stopped at the right time, and Liu Xiahui immediately got up and got out.

...

Oil press shop.

Guan Chunzhi was holding a bag of peanut residue.

This peanut residue is also called peanut cake, which is the residue left after peanut oil is pressed.

This thing can be considered a good thing for rural people. It can be fed pigs like feed, fertilized fruit trees like fertilizer, or even eaten directly as snacks, which is quite delicious.

Guan Chunzhi filled the peanut residue with a blank expression, and then sat in the store and started to daze.

It has been more than a year since he graduated from junior high school. He helps pack up peanuts during the day and watches the shop at night. Apart from using the radio to listen to the radio, there are basically no entertainment activities.

My good friend Liu Xiahui was fine when he was there. When he was watching the store himself at night, Liu Xiahui came to watch it with him. The two usually bought one or two yuan of eight-treasure porridge and one yuan of sugar. While cooking eight-treasure porridge for midnight snacks, they talked about the colorful world. Although they didn’t have much money, their lives were quite comfortable.

But since Liu Xiahui started school and went to the city to study, these Tianguan Chunzhi felt very bored.

There is no need to watch it, just the small number of martial arts in the Cultural Station (the name of the store). Guan Chunzhi has long been watching the works of two masters Jin Gu and the most popular legend series at present. He and Liu Xiahui have watched more than once.

"Comrade, what are you in a daze?"

Just as Guan Chunzhi was dazed alone, a familiar voice suddenly came.

Guan Chunzhi turned his head and saw that he was really a good friend Liu Xiahui. He couldn't help but say in surprise: "Lao Liu? Haven't you been studying in the city? Why are you back?"

Comrade is the nickname of Guan Chunzhi.

Lao Liu is Liu Xiahui's nickname.

Liu Xiahui smiled and said, "I came back to find you!"

While talking, Liu Xiahui silently looked at her good friend who had not seen for more than ten years.

He has dark skin, not tall, ordinary appearance, and still looks like he remembers.

"Come back to find me?"

Guan Chunzhi's eyes were confused and asked casually: "What's the situation? But what's the matter? I'll ask me for help?"

"Yes, I really have something to ask for your help. Are you free now?"

"Of course there is, today is not a market day, so there are not many jobs. I'll tell my elder brother and let's talk outside!"

"Okay, let's have a walk in No. 1 Middle School!"
