There were no twists and turns this time, Xu Hengzhou successfully got the letter of introduction from Chen Youshan, their luggage had been packed, and they could set off the next day.

Things at home are also arranged. There are still a lot of edible cabbage and radishes in the vegetable garden. Xu Hengzhou told Jiang Miao and Lin Jiayan to pull them out and eat them casually. Otherwise, when they come back from the northwest, they will not know what they will grow into. That's it.In addition, he gave Jiang Miao the keys to the kitchen and firewood room at home, so that she could come and cook something to fill her stomach with her own pot and stove.

Jiang Miao knew that Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen were going to the northwest, so she gave Xu Hengzhou 60 yuan in private, which was almost all of her salary, and she asked them to help bring her grandfather or buy some things to bring there.

Xu Hengzhou accepted the money and planned to see the situation. If Grandpa Jiang could use the money, it would be more appropriate to give it to him. If he couldn't use it, he would simply exchange it for supplies and bring it to others.

That night, Xiang Chen and Xu Hengzhou checked their belongings again.Xiang Chen's baby suit has already been prepared, he made it meticulously, the little hat and shoes are so cute, but Xu Hengzhou's eyes hurt when he saw it.

The next morning, they got up before dawn and were ready to go. They had to go to the county to take the bus, and then they could take the train to the northwest after arriving in the city.

It was extremely cold in the winter morning, Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen both changed into thick cotton clothes.Although he was angry, Xu Hengzhou still prepared a scarf and gloves for Xiang Chen. In such a cold day, he was the one who felt distressed when he was frozen.

Xu Hengzhou was wearing a long black padded jacket, with a condensed aura, and lowered his eyes to tie a scarf on Xiang Chen.There was a big hood on the back of Xiang Chen's clothes, so there was no need to prepare another hat.

Xiang Chen pursed his lips, smiled and asked his brother to tie a scarf for him, and after he finished it, he asked heartlessly: "Brother, don't you wear a scarf? It's so cold."

Xu Hengzhou pursed his lips, and replied coldly: "I'm not cold." After speaking, he bent down to carry his luggage.

Xiang Chen covered his mouth and almost laughed out loud, if his brother was so cute when he rarely got jealous, he wouldn't have dragged on for so long.

Xiang Chen took out the smoky gray men's scarf he had knitted from the luggage bag at his feet, jumped on Xu Hengzhou's back, and stretched out his arms to tie it for him.

"What are you doing?" Xu Hengzhou's back suddenly felt heavy, he hurriedly dropped his luggage, and stretched his arms behind Xiang Chen, fearing that he would fall.

"Tie a scarf for you!" Xiang Chen lay on Xu Hengzhou's back, smiled into his ear and said, "Brother, I've been knitting it for a long time, so wear it even if it's not cold!"

Only then did Xu Hengzhou feel the warm and soft touch around his neck. He was silent for a moment, froze on the spot without speaking, lowered his head slightly, and cooperated with Xiang Chen's movements.

Xiang Chen fastened the scarf for him awkwardly from behind, brushed his fingers over Xu Hengzhou's neck and face, and finally stayed by his ears, causing Xu Hengzhou's ears to turn red.

Xiang Chen's fingers trembled twice, wanting to touch those two red ears very much, they must be burning hot.The last bit of conscience left him let Xu Hengzhou go, at least he had to save some face for his brother, right?

Xiang Chen jumped off Xu Hengzhou's back, walked around in front of him, observed carefully for a moment, couldn't help but bend his eyes, with a little pride: "It looks good!"

His brother looks very nice in it, and it matches his brother's clothes very well.

Xu Hengzhou curled the corners of his mouth accordingly, Xiang Chen vaguely didn't know whether he was praising the scarf or him, so he should be praising him.

"Let's go, we won't be able to catch the bus any later. The weather is fine today, so we can walk faster." Xu Hengzhou picked up his luggage and said.

As soon as the words were finished, a gust of cold wind came out, and Xiang Chen couldn't help shivering.

He glanced at Xu Hengzhou's smiling face, couldn't help but burst out laughing, held his brother's sleeve with one hand, and carried the luggage with the other, and the two hurried to the county seat against the cold wind.

After leaving the village, Xu Hengzhou took advantage of the darkness to throw his luggage into the space, and changed into two very light bags for cover.When crossing the bridge, both of them were extra careful, Xu Hengzhou almost half-armed Xiang Chen, for fear that his feet would slip and fall.

After crossing the river and walking for a while, Xu Hengzhou checked the surroundings and took out the bicycle from the space.A small soft cushion was specially sewn on the back seat of the car. This is Xiang Chen's masterpiece. He learned from Hua Nier as a teacher, and now his handicraft skills are very good.

Xu Hengzhou rode on the bike, Xiang Chen sat at the back, hugged his brother's waist, put his hand into Xu Hengzhou's coat pocket, put his face against his back, and leaned lazily.

Xu Hengzhou also put on his hat, pulled up his scarf, hung a light on the handlebars, and rode to the county seat.They left too early, and there was no one in sight along the way, and they arrived at the county seat smoothly.

Before arriving at the county seat, Xu Hengzhou found a remote forest to put away the car, brought out two luggage bags, carried one with Xiang Chen, and walked into the county seat.

The bus from the county seat to the city only runs once a day, going in the morning and returning in the evening. When they rushed there, the bus was almost full.

Fortunately, there was the last seat together, so Xu Hengzhou bought two tickets, and the fat aunt who sold the tickets kindly said: "Hold the child, it will save you a ticket."

Xu Hengzhou refused with a smile. He gestured to the big bag in his hand, and said politely: "We have a lot of luggage, and the people next to us should be squeezed into one seat."

The fat aunt immediately had a good impression of them. They worked as conductors, and they saw a lot of behaviors of taking advantage of the price in order to save the fare. Two adults only want to buy a ticket. They have seen them squeeze a seat and squeeze the people next to them. Almost got into a fight.

Xiang Chen and Xu Hengzhou sat down on the remaining seat, with the luggage at their feet, Xiang Chen sat by the window, and Xu Hengzhou sat outside.

The old-fashioned bus was very dilapidated, and there was still a diesel smell, which made Xiang Chen feel a little uncomfortable.They left too early in the morning, and hurriedly ate two steamed buns that had been placed in the space with hot water. Now that they were washed by the smell of diesel, Xiang Chen felt his stomach churning violently.

Seeing his face wrinkled into a ball, Xu Hengzhou frowned. It was so cold that no one in the car wanted to open the window, so he could only take out a mint candy and stuff it secretly into Xiang Chen's mouth.

The cool breath made Xiang Chen much more comfortable. He leaned on Xu Hengzhou's shoulder, his expression still tired.

The remaining seats on the bus were filled up quickly, and the fat aunt who sold the tickets collected the money tickets and beckoned the driver to close the door and drive.

At this moment, the car door was blocked suddenly, and a somewhat familiar male voice spoke nice words to the driver and conductor, asking them to help bring two more people.

Xu Hengzhou heard the voice sound familiar, frowned and looked forward, a middle-aged man and an old lady were blocked in front of the conductor.

Xu Hengzhou's pupils shrank, and it turned out to be Chen Guomin, the captain of the third team, and Mrs. Chen!

He pulled Xiang Chen's hat out with his hands and covered him, Xiang Chen looked at him blankly, Xu Hengzhou explained in a low voice: "Chen Guomin and his mother, don't let the old lady see your face."

A distant memory struck, and Xiang Chen vaguely recalled the last time he saw Mrs. Chen, as if she had come from home to make trouble.Mrs. Chen lost her face that time, and she didn't go to Chen Guoliang's house for a long time.

Later, Cai Zhen gave birth to Chen Youcai, and Mrs. Chen felt sorry for her grandson, so they started dating again.But she came seldom, avoiding Xiang Chen, and Xiang Chen deliberately avoided her, and the two never met face to face again.

At this time, Chen Guomin also agreed with the driver and the conductor, gave the two of them the fare money, and took old lady Chen into the car.But because there are no seats, they can only sit in the aisle.

While walking, I could still hear old lady Chen's dissatisfied voice: "We don't sit in his chair, why do we still charge us so much money..."

The conductor raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "Old lady, if you don't want to sit, we won't force you, there is still time to hurry down."

Chen Guomin hurriedly said a few more good words before calming down the angry conductor.

Mrs. Chen was almost kicked out, but she was dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to say anything unnecessary, and walked in holding her breath.

"Hey, there is still a place here!" Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes around the car, and when she saw Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen, her eyes lit up immediately, and she ran over swiftly, and said rudely to Xu Hengzhou : "Hurry up and pick up your child, what does it sound like to occupy someone's place, do you have any education!"

Xu Hengzhou's face darkened, the conductor had noticed the situation here, and shouted from a distance: "He bought two tickets, old lady, don't make trouble."

The old lady Chen said angrily: "I bought the ticket too, why should I let them sit on the stool and I sit in the aisle, I am an old lady, at such an age, you are not bullying people!"

"Hey, you old lady is unreasonable. The person who comes first will naturally sit on the chair. If you come first, you can also sit on the chair." The conductor said.

"Little Xu?" Chen Guomin interrupted suddenly, pointing at Xu Hengzhou with a surprised expression.

"You guys know each other?" the conductor asked suspiciously.

"I know you." Chen Guomin smiled all over his face. "This is Xiao Xu, an educated youth from our village. I know him well. Don't worry about it, comrade. We can negotiate on our own."

The conductor was dubious. If he really knew her, why would the old lady speak so harshly?

"Captain three." Xu Hengzhou called out politely, but his body remained motionless, and he didn't intend to give up his seat at all.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Chen Guomin's eyes, and he walked over with a smiling face, and said kindly: "Xiao Xu is also going to the city? Oh, this is your brother, asleep? Why don't you call me?"

Xu Hengzhou's face was calm, he closed Xiang Chen's hat, and his voice was not too loud, just enough for those who followed them to hear: "Get up early in the morning and drive the car, it seems that the cold wind is blowing and I'm catching a cold, I'm still worried."

Chen Guomin's face froze, and the next sentence he wanted to say was stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.He originally planned to let this educated youth pick up his younger brother and give his mother the seat. If he was sensible, it would be best to give him a seat too.

But when Xu Hengzhou said this, his child was sick, and he asked him to give up his seat, so it was not easy to say it.Moreover, Xu Hengzhou is not some ordinary youth with no background, he is the principal of the village primary school, and I heard that even Secretary Zhang praised him for his job well done.

Mrs. Chen didn't care about that much. As soon as she heard Chen Guomin say that Xu Hengzhou was an educated youth in the village, she already regarded his and Xiang Chen's positions as her son's and hers.The production captain still has a lot of power in the team. If this educated youth is sensible, he should give her the position.

But Xu Hengzhou is as stable as Mount Tai, just sitting still, old lady Chen dissatisfied: "You young man, why are you so ignorant, get up quickly, you are still an educated youth, will the teacher teach you not to respect the old?"

She knew that she couldn't tell if the child was sick, so she simply took Xu Hengzhou for surgery. After all, he was young and strong, and he seemed to be a vulnerable group in comparison.
