Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 27

Xiao Juanzi cried all night, and Zhao Da'e and Cheng Jinxiang couldn't soothe her no matter what they did. It wasn't until late at night that Xiao Juanzi cried herself to sleep.

The next morning, Zhao Da'e woke up groggily, grabbed some food to tide him over, and then started packing his luggage.

Then I took out a small notebook and started planning what else I needed to buy. After much thought, I finally bought a small mirror and a bottle of hand cream. After all, hands get cold easily in winter.

After that, I bought my mother a fresh light blue cotton-padded jacket, two pairs of old cotton-padded shoes, and a very thick scarf.

Women in the north rarely wear hats; even in the cold, they mostly wear scarves. Therefore, scarves are more practical than hats.

After everything was ready, it was already past 10 a.m.

The weather was fine and sunny. Cheng Jinxiang had finished her injection, and Xiangzi arrived in his van.

Zhao Da'e hurriedly went out to greet Xiangzi: "You really are punctual."

Xiangzi chuckled and scratched his head: "How could I dare disobey my aunt's instructions?"

Zhao Da'e chuckled, took out two packs of cigarettes, and handed them to Xiangzi: "Here, take these. They're a gift from your aunt, good cigarettes. Daqianmen."

Xiangzi didn't intend to ask for the fare, so he took the cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is indeed a good cigarette, much better than dry tobacco. Little aunt, which room is my second grandma in? I'll go in and help you carry your luggage."

"The second room at the back of the corridor. I'll take you there."

Zhao Da'e led Xiangzi to the ward to move their luggage.

Cheng Jinxiang was stunned when she saw that it was Xiangzi: "Aren't you Xiangzi, who has just made his fortune?"

Xiangzi chuckled: "It's me, it's me. My little aunt asked me to come and help with the luggage. Second Grandma, please wait for us a bit. We'll get on the bus after we've finished with the luggage. By the way, where's my second grandpa?"

Cheng Jinxiang was taken aback. Zhao Tiesheng hadn't come. Not a single member of the Zhao family, not even a rabbit, had come.

Cheng Jinxiang felt a little disappointed, but she didn't want to say it out loud, so she just said perfunctorily, "The cow at home is about to give birth to a calf. It can't be left unattended; someone has to keep an eye on it."

Xiangzi didn't ask any more questions and started moving his luggage.

Zhao Da'e also carried some things he could lift, loading them into the van in trip after trip. It took him a long time to finish.

Afterwards, Zhao Dage went to the doctor's office to ask what precautions he should take after being discharged from the hospital.

The doctor gave a very standard lecture: don't get cold, don't get hot, don't eat spicy food, don't be too anxious, don't be too sad, don't do this or that—just a bunch of nonsense.

Zhao Da'e was even thinking that he had asked too many unnecessary questions; the doctor was completely useless.

Afterwards, Zhao Dage picked up his discharge certificate, printed out a hospitalization certificate or similar document, and left.

At this moment, Cheng Jinxiang was holding her child and waiting outside the van, while Xiangzi was squatting next to her, smoking.

Zhao Da'e chuckled: "Xiangzi, you've got quite a smoking habit."

Xiangzi gave a bitter laugh: "Don't even mention it. I'm really worried. The work is tough, the shuttle bus won't let us pick up passengers, they block us every day, and yesterday they intercepted us, and we got into a fight with them."

Zhao Da'e exclaimed, then looked more closely: "Something's not right. Xiangzi, you don't have any injuries on your face."

Xiangzi raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with pride: "Who am I? I've been kicking tigers and grabbing dragons since I was a child. When it comes to fighting, ten of them can't beat one of me."

"Hehehe, stop bragging. You're getting carried away. In the future, when you encounter something like this, try to make money peacefully. You're not breaking the law. Why shouldn't they allow it?"

Xiangzi smiled wryly: It seems that it's not really reasonable for a minivan to carry people, but nobody cares about the rickshaws that are ridden upside down all over the streets, so it's really not good to specifically target our minivans.
