selling chili peppers in chronology

=============================

"Fourth brother, wake up, we're in the provincial capital!"

Chen Chen, who was sleeping drowsily, suddenly heard the sound of excitement in his ears. He was startled awake by the noise, and was dazzled by the sunset outside the window.

Chen Chen tilted his head, and saw Chen Qian looking out the window excitedly, "This is the provincial capital?!"

Chen Chen blinked, sat up straight and looked out, and sure enough, outside the glass windows, he saw some houses with different heights and heights. The houses were higher than those in Yongxing County. According to the scenery he saw when he came back last time, Chen Chen knew that he was about to enter the city.

"We're about to enter the city." Just after waking up, Chen Chen's voice was a little dry.

Chen Qian murmured, "It's almost here..."

Chen Chen cleared his throat to make his voice more comfortable.

It didn't take long for the bus to drive into the city. Chen Qian kept staring out the window without blinking.

Chen Chen came here once, but he wasn't very interested in the scenery outside the window. He looked around.My travel bag is still in my arms, because I just slept with it in my arms, and there is still some temperature on the travel bag, and the other passengers in the car are sleeping a lot, even if the person who can see the face has not closed their eyes They were also holding on and staring blankly, it seemed that everyone was exhausted by the eight-hour drive, and now they were barely holding on.

Chen Chen thought of Chen Ming, turned his head to take a look, and saw Chen Ming leaning on the seat with his eyes closed. Looking at it like that, he should have fallen asleep, but his hands were still in his pockets.

Next to it, the head of the woman holding the child is moving, and it can be seen that she is holding on.

The child was held in her arms, sleeping obediently with eyes closed, probably because she was afraid that she would be too sleepy to hold the child stably, and the woman even carried the child in front of her with a back skirt, so that even if she was dazed The child will not fall to the ground even if he is strong.

The whole car looks the same.

Chen Chen withdrew his eyes and sat down. He carefully looked at his travel bag, but found no trace of being passive.

Chen Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and then whispered to Chen Qian who was looking out of the car window, who was fascinated, "Have you not slept?"

"Sleeping." Chen Qian kept looking out of the car window, "I passed a lot of fields on the way, and there was really nothing to see, so I fell asleep for a while."

Chen Chen asked: "Did you lose anything?"

"No." Chen Qian said, "I only brought two steamed buns, and nothing else. Even if someone wants to steal it, they can't steal it."

Of course, Chen Chen didn't believe Chen Qian's words, so he finally came to the provincial capital, can he not bring money with him?But he should have hidden the money carefully and didn't put it in the burlap bag, so he wasn't too worried.

Chen Chen said: "That's good."

The car arrived at the station shortly after entering the city, the driver turned off the engine, and then shouted, "The provincial capital is here! Get off the bus! Wake up! Don't sleep! The provincial capital is here—"

The sleeping person woke up immediately, and the stunned person was still asking, "This is it?"

Someone nearby said, "The sun is about to set."

Talking began to resume in the originally silent car, and it was a bit noisy.

The door of the car was opened, and everyone started to get out of the car with their luggage. Chen Chen and the others were sitting a little behind, seeing so many people in the aisle, Chen Chen didn't want to squeeze along, so he said, "Wait for them to get off first." .”

Chen Qian didn't care, "OK."

Chen Ming asked in the back seat: "Xiaochen, are you motion sick?"

Chen Chen replied: "I'm not very dizzy."

Sleep is a good medicine against motion sickness. Anyway, all the money I brought was put in the passbook, and I only had less than 50 yuan in cash on my body. I put it in several places, so Chen Chen could sleep with peace of mind.

Chen Ming said with a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Chen Qian asked from the side: "Brother Ming, why don't you care about the provincial capital at all?"

Chen Mingdao: "Of course I am concerned. Shouldn't I first ask about Xiao Chen's situation? He is most likely to faint in a car."

Chen Qian glanced at Chen Chen, "Fourth brother's complexion is good, you should look out of the window at this time, the provincial capital is really different from the county!"

The woman sitting next to Chen Ming and holding the child didn't get out of the car in a hurry. Hearing the conversation between the three of them, she couldn't help asking, "This is your first time in the provincial capital?"

Chen Ming replied: "It is."

"Then it makes sense." The woman said: "People who come to the provincial capital for the first time are like this, and everything they see is new."

Chen Ming heard it, "Do you often come to the provincial capital?"

"I'm from the provincial capital." The woman said with a smile, "This time I took the child to visit relatives in the county, and now I'm coming back."

Chen Ming suddenly realized, "It turns out to be like this."

At this point in the conversation, the people in front got off the car one after another. Chen Chen was carrying his travel bag and was about to get off the car. Chen Qian took his own small sack. Seeing that the bag on Chen Chen's back was convenient, he muttered: "This time I also want to buy a bag like yours in the provincial capital."

Chen Chen said: "It's in the department store."

The woman in the back seat with the child on her back stood up, and said to Chen Ming with some embarrassment, "Sorry, I'm blocking your way."

Chen Ming smiled and said, "It's okay, take your time."

The woman smiled apologetically, and bent down with difficulty to get her bag from under the seat. Seeing that it was inconvenient for her, Chen Ming reached out to help her get it.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Everyone get out of the car together.

Most of the concrete houses in the provincial capital came into view. Chen Chen, who was here for the second time, didn't feel much, but Chen Ming and Chen Qian, who came for the first time, were fascinated by it, standing in the bustling station , Seeing everything is fresh, but at the same time, I am a little at a loss, and I don’t know where I should go.

The three of them left the station with the flow of people. Chen Qian looked at the crowded street and said, "There are really many more people than in the county, and the houses are better built than the county. Even the roads are paved with cement. It's really worthy provincial capital."

Chen Chen's tone was flat, "It's a provincial capital anyway, so there must be a bit of a crowd."

Chen Qian sighed, "It's pretty good."

Chen Ming looked at the red sky reflected by the sunset and the people passing by on bicycles, and said enviously: "I don't know when our county will become as good as the provincial capital."

Chen Qiandao: "It must be a long time."

Chen Ming: "Sure."

Seeing the two people sighing with joy and melancholy at the same time, Chen Chen, who had been in the car for a whole day, couldn't listen anymore, "Look for a hostel to live in before we talk about it."

"Not eating first?" Chen Ming asked hesitantly, "Aren't you hungry?"

One word before Chen, "Hungry!"

They ate some steamed buns when they were in the village in the morning, and they haven't eaten since then!

I'm starving!

It may be because the family has been earning money for a while, and when they went to the county to sell bad peppers, they basically bought and ate them in the county, so they unconsciously developed the habit of relying on buying when they go out to eat. So much so that now when I mention food, I want to buy it.

Chen Chen was also hungry, but he still said: "Go to the hostel first, I'm afraid the hostel will be full when it gets too late, and then we will have to sleep on the street."

When Chen Ming and Chen Qian heard this, they said nothing immediately, and hurriedly looked for a guest house, otherwise it would be no joke to sleep on the street!

The three looked at each other for a while, Chen Chen planned to take them around to look around, then Chen Qian stopped a passerby and asked the direction of the nearest guest house.

The three of them walked over there.

Maybe it was time for get off work and school, and there were a lot of people coming and going on the road. The three brothers walked along the side of the road pointed out by a good-hearted person for less than a minute, and then ran into a panic-stricken man with a white face. people.

——It was the young woman who was sitting next to Chen Ming in the car just now holding the baby.

The woman's complexion was very ugly, it would not be an exaggeration to say that her lips were bloodless.

Chen Chen, Chen Ming, and Chen Qian looked at each other, and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Chen Qian whispered, "Is something wrong?"

Chen Ming also whispered back: "It should be."

In two sentences, the three brothers hadn't decided whether to ask or not, and then the woman accidentally stepped on a small stone on the ground. As soon as the small stone rolled, the woman panicked, her legs and feet couldn't stand steadily, and she stood straight. She was about to fall forward, and the white and tender child who had already woken up was carried in front of her. If she really fell, the result could be imagined.

Chen Chen, Chen Ming, Chen Qian didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly stepped forward to help her. Fortunately, they often helped the family with work and had some strength. Although they were dragged by inertia, they didn't fall along with them.

After standing firmly, Chen Chen put down his hand holding the woman's left arm, and asked, "Are you okay?"

When the flustered woman saw that it was the three people who had just been in the car with her, tears immediately fell from her reddened eyes.
