After a simple rebirth

The trunk couldn't hold so many things, so Fu Ying could only put smaller bags under the back seats. Fu's mother also took apart a large bag and stuffed it into the gap behind the back seat.

Fu Ying looked and saw there was another woman. She remembered that she was the relative's wife. The couple ran a business together.

That means there are five people in total, and three people from Fu Ying's family sit in the back row. So you have to consider comfort, otherwise it's easy to get numb legs and carsick if you sit in a closed space for a long time and keep the same posture.

Fu Ying unpacked a bag of clothes and spread it on the back seat to support her waist and free up space. Then she unpacked Fu Zhe's bag of clothes into two bags and placed them near the door to serve as pillows.

Fu Ma still had two large items, and Fu Ying asked her to unpack them and put them under the seats wherever possible. In the end, the back seat was full of things, so she had to put a package, which should be a stool, under the feet of the co-pilot.

"Xiao Min, I'm sorry. I'll put it under your feet. You can step on it if you want. It will be more comfortable." Fu's mother said to her relatives that according to seniority, the woman Fu Ying seemed to be called sister-in-law.

"It's okay, auntie, just leave it here, it won't have any impact." She also replied.

Finally put away my things and ready to go.

Fu Ying got on the bus first, sitting in the middle, with Fu Zhe and Fu Ma on either side. Fu Zhe was holding the food and drinks he prepared the night before, and Fu Ying was holding something in her arms, but she didn't know what it was, but it belonged to Fu Ma. Fu Ma also had a bag in her arms, not that big, but Fu Ying knew it must be an important household registration book, cash, etc.

I waved goodbye to Dad Fu and started off.

It was too early, so I didn't let Fu Yu come to see me off. I wanted to ask Fu's father not to come either, but he said he could help with moving things, so we came together.

The car started, and Fu Ma started chatting with the two people in front.

"Xiaojun, how long will you be back this time?"

"About three or four days. The kids were about to go back to school, so I went back to see them and bought them some clothes," replied Li Xiaojun, who was driving.

"It's convenient for you to have a car. You can go back by yourself without having to wait for a car." Fu's mother was a little envious.

"It's convenient, but it's tiring to drive like this. It's OK if there's no traffic jam, but if there's a traffic jam, your foot will cramp when you step on the brakes."

"That's right, we don't know how to drive."

"Aunt, are you going back because these two little ones need to go to school?" Li Xiaojun looked at the two children sitting in the back through the rearview mirror. They should be in junior high school.

"Yes, my second daughter will be in high school soon. She has very good grades. I let her go home to study in high school so that she can take the college entrance examination. My youngest son is in the second grade of junior high school and will also take the high school entrance examination next year." When Mother Fu talked about her children, there was light in her eyes and she was in good spirits.

"Yes, I've always heard that your youngest daughter has very good grades!" Li Xiaojun nodded.

"Yes, after she finished her high school entrance exam, the school awarded her 1,000 yuan!" Fu's mother shared this excitedly.

"Wow! There are not many people who give out reward money nowadays, let alone as much as one thousand." Li Xiaojun was also shocked.

Fu Ying couldn't stand it anymore. It was too embarrassing to hear someone praising herself in front of her.

"Mom, stop talking for now. Look out the window or take a nap. You'll get carsick and it'll be hard for you!"

Fu Ma has always been carsick. It’s okay for her in a small car, but she really gets carsick every time she rides in a bus.

"Yes, aunt, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me and I will open the window to let some fresh air in, and you will feel better." Li Xiaojun said quickly after hearing it.

The car finally became quiet, and Fu Ying closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

Suddenly, Fu's mother patted her on the shoulder and Fu Ying looked over.

"If you want to sleep, just lie on me and sleep for a while." Mother Fu patted her shoulder.

Fu Ying shook her head. The journey took more than ten hours. Even if they stopped at a service area to rest, it would still take three or four hours. If Fu Ying leaned on her, her shoulders would easily go numb and she would have trouble sleeping. It would be better for them to sit separately and find a comfortable position to sleep.

Thanks to the years she spent as a tour guide, Fu Ying developed the habit of falling asleep as soon as she got on the bus. Every time she and Zhang Zun took the bus to the city, she would fall asleep on the way. Zhang Zun would still want to chat with her, but Fu Ying would fall asleep like a dead sleeper, and then Zhang Zun also learned to shut up and sleep.

By the time the car was completely on the highway, Fu Ying fell asleep.

Fu Ying was woken up by Fu's mother, and in a daze she heard the conversation between Li Xiaojun and Fu's mother.

"We're almost there at the service area. Let's take a break and go to the toilet." This is Li Xiaojun speaking.

"That's good. I didn't drink much water this morning, so I was worried it would be inconvenient on the road." Mother Fu replied.

Fu Ying looked at the billboard in front of the car: Baima Service Area, 5KM.

Baima Service Area? Are you planning to leave Guangdong Province so soon?

Fu Ying is very familiar with this service area. One year, she spent a month leading a tour group to Guangdong and Guangxi on a bus. There is an ancient town not far from here that is quite charming. Every time she goes to this service area, she knows that it is the border between Guangdong and Guangxi. When she leaves Guangdong Province, the Baima service area is right after passing the gate.

I looked at the time on the car dashboard again: 9:58. It has been four hours. No wonder I have already arrived here. If the Erguang Expressway is opened later, it should be able to shorten the journey by more than an hour.

We arrived at the service area. Fu Ying almost fell down when she got off the car because her legs had been curled up for too long. She took a break to go to the toilet, and when she came back she stood near the car to get some fresh air.

Xiao Heitan opened the bag, took out a bunch of food and drinks, and Fu Ying handed them to Li Xiaojun and his wife.

"Sister-in-law, eat something."

"Thank you, sister. You don't have to give us any. We also brought food." Li Xiaojun's wife didn't answer.

Fu Ying showed her the whole bag of food and said, "We bought a lot, thinking that we can eat together on the road. You can take some too!"

Seeing that Fu Ying was giving the cookies very seriously, Li Xiaojun's wife took out two packs of biscuits, one for each of her and Li Xiaojun.

Fu Ying brought them a bottle of Red Bull and a bottle of iced black tea. "You can give the Red Bull to my brother. I heard that drinking it while driving is more energizing. As for the iced black tea, you can have it, sister-in-law."

"Don't be so polite. We can help ourselves if we want to eat. Thank you." Li Xiaojun's wife took the two bottles of drinks, took out her bag, and asked Fu Ying what they wanted to eat.

Fu Ying and Fu Zhe both declined. Fu Zhe declined because he ate a lot at home and there was nothing he liked on the other side. Fu Ying declined because she was afraid that if she ate too much at once, she would get motion sickness.

Fu's mother also came out, and Fu Ying handed the food to her.

Fu's mother directly opened a bottle of eight-treasure porridge. Fu Ying's eyelids jumped when she saw it. People who suffer from motion sickness should not eat too much, as it will aggravate the discomfort symptoms of motion sickness.

Fortunately, after finishing this, Fu's mother didn't eat too much, so Fu Ying didn't say anything.

After resting for about ten minutes, the group set off again.

As usual, Fu's mother got in the car and chatted with Li Xiaojun and his wife first. Since she didn't get to talk about herself, Fu Ying just listened in. Fu's mother must not be able to sleep after just sleeping for a while, so it would be good to let her talk.

The car soon entered Guizhou Province and was close to the provincial capital at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Xiaojun asked Aunt Fu in the back seat, "Aunt, do you want to go to the service area to eat something?"

Fu's mother waved her hand and refused. "No, no, I can go to the toilet, but forget about eating. The food in the service area is too expensive."

"Okay, we're not going to eat there. It's too expensive. Let's go in and take a rest." Li Xiaojun replied as he drove into the service area.

Guizhou Province is naturally cool, and it is not as hot and humid as Guangdong Province at noon, so a group of people got off the car to get some fresh air and felt quite comfortable.
