Chapter 292 Why is it you?
Qin Xiaohong's complaints did not affect her appetite. This elder sister was strong at heart.
Qiu Huoming laughed, "This is called feudal remnants. Whoever says so, beat him up! In my opinion, if it weren't for you, Sister Hong, keeping an eye on him, Brother Qiao would have gotten into some serious trouble this time!"
Qin Xiaohong smiled: "Brother Huo Ming is really good at talking. Would you like something to drink?"
Qiu Huoming shook his head, "I brought water."
"Okay, we are destined to be together. I know everyone on this train. If you need anything later, you can find me in the front carriage."
Qin Xiaohong finished her lunch and wiped her mouth. "It was better to eat in the car. I'm telling you, don't get married. Before marriage, there were only the two of us in his family. Once we got married, all the gossip girls came out..."
She shook her head. "And his brother, sister-in-law and father..."
"This time, Lao Er went to jail, and I was the only one who rushed to find someone to rescue him... They didn't say a word. They were so important at other times, but they were silent when it came to the critical moment. It's so boring just to think about it..."
Qiu Huoming felt something was wrong with what he said, so he quickly advised, "Brother Qiao is good to you, so find a chance to move away from them. Out of sight, out of mind."
Qin Xiaohong smiled bitterly and said, "That's all he has left. No wonder people in ancient times worshipped crying at weddings. They knew that life would be hard in the future."
"If you ask me for money again, I'll punish you!"
He was flattered.
The middle-aged man next to her looked at his watch, suddenly stood up, and invited the woman, "Sister, let's go eat too."
"Young man, is this your first time watching a train cross the river?"
The middle-aged man was already packing his luggage. "It's finally here. I didn't go home on New Year's Eve, but at least I caught up with the Lantern Festival, so I can go home for the New Year."
Qin Xiaohong smiled, put all the lunch boxes on the table into the basket, and carried it into the kitchen.
After a while, the food delivery man came over with a cart, and the two passengers opposite each ordered a meal.
"I'm not that delicate. I didn't even blink when I was sent to Xing'an Mountains."
"It happens once or twice a year..." the middle-aged woman said in a flat tone, as if these were not worth mentioning.
Strictly speaking, this journey was the quietest he had ever taken.
"No, the conductor will push the cart over soon. You can't even stay in the dining car at this time."
There is no big problem with public courses. The only thing I worry about is the professional courses.
You have to at least go through the junior and senior year courses, as you may not have the free time to study when you go abroad.
Qiu Huoming opened the lunch box and said with a smile: "Well, it's good to have a sister."
Qiu Huoming opened the car window and looked out. The woman opposite was stretching her legs while holding the bed frame.
"Well, for the first time, did the wind hit you? Then I'll close the window."
The time on the train passed quickly, and the next afternoon, the train was finally about to cross the river.
He started reading so intently that he almost missed his meal.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, but a husband and wife working together can achieve great things. Sister Hong, you and Brother Qiao will definitely be fine."
He took out his notebook and pen, removed the pen cap with one hand, and began to make his study plan for the next two years. Since he didn't have to attend classes, it meant that he would basically have to rely on self-study for the rest of his studies.
Perhaps these words touched the woman opposite. She turned around, took out an apple from her bag, and insisted on giving it to Qiu Huoming.
The experience of soft sleeper is indeed much better than that of hard sleeper. The two passengers opposite me are not smoking in the room. It is cold now and the door is closed, so the noise outside is much quieter.
Qiu Huoming stood up and walked back with his bag.
Before he could go to the dining car, Qin Xiaohong brought him a box lunch. When Qiu Huoming was about to pay, she flicked his forehead with her finger. The force was quite strong, but Qiu Huoming endured the pain and didn't cry out.
He broke down the courses. He had already learned sophomore major courses in the first half of last year, and he consolidated them this semester. This year, he will take the upgrading exam with the sophomores.
Then I returned to the room, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the scenery outside the window...
This was his first time skipping a grade, so he had to give it his all, otherwise the preferential treatment he received would become a double-edged sword...
The woman opposite said enviously, "She's your sister, right? It's really nice to have someone to take care of you when you're away from home."
"okay!"
"Thanks for your good wishes. Hey, I have to go and get busy. There are still a few people who want to buy tickets. I have to go and check..."
As the woman spoke, she quickly stopped him, "Look if you want to. It's a good thing for young people to be curious."
Sister Hong put down her lunch box and left.
After chatting for a while, Qin Xiaohong's mood obviously improved, "Hey, remember to come to me if you have any problems..."
No one knew him except Qin Xiaohong.
Unable to refuse, I had to thank him a few more times before accepting it.
"Oh, sister, you know a lot. You go out often, right?"
When he woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon. He got up and went to the corridor to do some stretching exercises...
Qiu Huoming lay on the bed, listening to the friction between the rails and wheels below, and gradually fell asleep.
Almost everyone who can afford a soft sleeper has money, and it is normal to eat in the dining car.
Qiu Huoming was much older than them and had no interest in the family matters they were chatting about, so he simply lay down on the bed and took a nap.
After a full meal, Qiu Huoming was in a good mood. After returning to the soft sleeper car, the two passengers had already started talking to him. The male passenger who bought the ticket would get off at Han River, and the woman, like Qiu Huoming, would ride to the terminal.
"That's right, I guess we caught up."
"Sister, it's so nice to chat with you. If you come to Hanjiang next time, you must come to me and I will take you to eat hot dry noodles..."
"Okay, definitely."
The woman responded with a smile.
They had already reached the riverside. The wind was very strong. Qiu Huoming closed the window and leaned close to the glass to look outside.
The train has stopped.
The woman explained: "The first step is to dismantle the train..."
"In two?"
"Well, there will be a cart at the back to push the dismantled train along the tracks into the ship's cabin."
Qiu Huoming looked at the railroad tracks ahead and said, "How do we solve the problem of stability? The river has tides, right? How can we connect them if they are not level?"
The woman looked up at Qiu Huoming and said, "Young man, you got to the point."
She smiled and said, "See those four rails ahead?"
"That's a suspension bridge. One end is fixed, and the other end can be adjusted in height. There are buckles in the front to fasten it to the ship, so it's stable..."
Qiu Huoming turned his head and looked at the woman, "Auntie, you know so much."
"I have spent my whole life teaching and educating people, and this is all I have left to do."
The train was already being disassembled, and a clanging sound was heard not far behind...
Not long after, the train started to move forward. Qiu Huoming felt very strange sitting in the car.
When the train moved to the front of the suspension bridge, it suddenly went dark in front of my eyes. The train had entered the cabin. When my eyes adjusted to the light, I heard the woman's voice: "This boat will take a while, probably more than an hour. You can go on board and take a look."
Qiu Huoming was overjoyed. It was indeed boring to stay in the carriage. He put on his backpack and said, "Auntie, do you want to go for a walk together?"
"I'll forget it. It's windy outside."
"Then I'm going..."
Qiu Huoming got off the train. There were few people on the soft sleeper side, but there were many people on the hard sleeper and hard seat sides. A large group of people lined up to get off the train.
We finally got a chance to get some fresh air. No one looked very happy. In the crowded carriage, it was sometimes difficult to go to the toilet.
Qiu Huoming looked away and turned to look at the green train behind him.
There are still railroad tracks under the train. The car is evenly divided into two parts and parked side by side. Workers are still fixing the carriages.
The ship was moving slowly but steadily. The sides of the cabin were hollow and many people were standing on them.
Qiu Huoming found an open space and walked over. Strictly speaking, it was already early spring. The river water was cyan, and white waves were surging under the side of the boat...
The wind was indeed very strong. After being blown for a while, Qiu Huoming felt that his old cotton-padded jacket was stiff, so he hurriedly rubbed his hands and walked back.
When I got on the car, I found the woman leaning against the window, staring out.
The middle-aged man was smoking in the corridor. His luggage had been packed and was placed at the door, ready for him to take with him when he got off the bus.
As soon as Qiu Huoming sat down, the woman turned her gaze back to him and asked, "You're back so soon?"
Qiu Huoming rubbed his hands and exhaled hot air, "It's too cold, I'm not wearing a hat."
"Drink some hot water... The wind outside is wild."
"Okay, I'll go get some hot water..."
This time, Qiu Huoming saw a train crossing the river, and finally fulfilled his little wish.
He took the hot water back with a relaxed mood.
After he warmed up, he took out his textbook and began to read.
He didn't even notice when the middle-aged man got off the car...
During the remaining day and a half in the car, Qiu Huoming spent all his time reading books except for eating and sleeping...
No one disturbed him, and Qiu Huoming finished reading the few books he brought with him in a confused manner.
The first time is to remember, the second time is to understand...
Day ...
The train arrived at the station, and Qiu Huoming finally set foot on the land of Guangzhou again.
This time, he didn't need to look at the sign, he walked out familiarly...
After leaving the station, before he walked far, he heard a familiar voice beside him: "Dandan, you are not only irresponsible as a master, but also turned a blind eye to us..."
Qiu Huoming's heartbeat quickened in an instant. He turned his head and looked over. A few meters away from the exit, there was a girl wearing a white shirt, a khaki windbreaker over it, her hair tied in a high ponytail. The girl he had been thinking about day and night was smiling. She was holding a small black cat with its neck shrunk, and looking at him with her head slightly tilted.
"Look, he's stunned."
Zhao Jiamin continued talking to the little black cat.
Qiu Huoming took a few quick steps, resisting the urge to embrace her. He reached out and touched the little black cat's head. His voice was filled with surprise. He looked at Zhao Jiamin, "Amin, why are you here?"
"Are you not welcome to come?"
"Of course you're welcome, Armin..."
Qiu Huoming paused and said, "It's great to see you as soon as I return to Yangcheng."
Zhao Jiamin's cheeks flushed slightly, "You're good at talking. Let's go back to school."
Qiu Huoming was unwilling to let her continue to take the bus, so he immediately took a taxi...
"Are you rich?"
Zhao Jiamin asked after getting in the car.
"Editor-in-Chief Zhou gave me an advance, but I didn't spend any money on the trip..."
Qiu Huoming paused, "He won't be so shameless as to ask for it back, right?"
"Puchi" Zhao Jiamin laughed out loud, and the taxi was moving forward steadily...
Qiu Huoming's heart seemed to be immersed in honey, and the sweetness was about to overflow.
Zhao Jiamin touched the little black cat's head and comforted it, "Your master is a big fool."
"I'm not stupid. I know how to make money... From now on, you guys..."
Qiu Huoming almost said that he would take care of you two in the future, but he changed his tone and said, "I'll take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks..."
The two of them argued for a while, and then Qiu Huoming got down to business. He honestly recounted everything that had happened recently.
"You don't have to go to class anymore?"
Zhao Jiamin said enviously.
"You still have to take the exam, but you have a lot more freedom in time."
Qiu Huoming moved closer to Zhao Jiamin and said, "Don't worry, I won't learn bad things."
Zhao Jiamin looked at Qiu Huoming who was approaching, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She tightened her arms around Dandan, and Dandan immediately cried out, "Meow!"
"This guy is not shy at all! A cat that can be held in the arms must have a good temper..."
Qiu Huoming smiled and moved his body back to his seat.
Zhao Jiamin finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then she felt a sense of loss.
She glanced at Qiu Huoming.
His profile, high nose bridge, handsome eyebrows, a slight smile on the corners of his mouth, and even his eyelashes are beautiful...
Zhao Jiamin withdrew his gaze and sat upright as if to hide his intention.
Qiu Huoming looked down at her snow-white and tender fingertips and couldn't help but reach out and hold them. Dandan protected her master and immediately shouted.
Qiu Huoming ignored Dandan's protest and said, "I miss you a lot, but you never write to me."
Zhao Jiamin's tense body slowly relaxed. Qiu Huoming's palm was much bigger than hers, and the warm touch did not make her feel disgusted, but happy. She was silent for a while before she said:
"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to receive it. You've been at home for such a short time. Besides... haven't I come yet?" Zhao Jiamin's face was slightly turned towards Qiu Huoming, her eyelashes were against the light, and the tiny hairs on her face were clearly visible...
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, "From now on... no matter how far away you are, as long as you come, I will come to pick you up."
Qiu Huoming's heart was about to melt. He chuckled, "Okay, let's pinky promise..."
He loosened his hand and hooked Zhao Jiamin's little finger with his little finger.
"We've made a promise, and you are not allowed to regret it in the future..."
"Ah."
The two looked at each other, as if they could see into each other's heart.
Qiu Huoming held her hand again, "I've said so much, tell me too, how are you?"
Zhao Jiamin thought for a moment and said, "My uncle went to the hospital for a checkup. He said it was a stomach problem. He couldn't digest the food he ate, so he lost weight. He has been taking Chinese medicine recently..."
"As for me, I have drawn many blueprints of ancient buildings..."
"During the Chinese New Year, my father came over once. He wanted me to meet my stepmother..."
Zhao Jiamin smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe, he thinks I didn't embarrass him, so he wants to give me a name?"
"What do you think?" Qiu Huoming asked.
"I'm already an adult. I can live well even if I'm alone. I don't need the Zhao family's protection."
"You are not alone, there are also me and Dandan."
Maybe Qiu Huoming mentioned Dandan's name, it looked up and called to Qiu Huoming: "Meow~"
Qiu Huoming laughed, "Look, Dandan also agreed."
The driver in front had mixed feelings, and tons of dog food were thrown at him in the back seat.
He looked at them in the rearview mirror for a few times and saw that the two of them looked a perfect match. He couldn't help but whistle, "There are very few people in Yangcheng with such fair skin..."
"Aren't you locals?"
Then he shook his head and rejected his own words, "No, you speak Cantonese so well, ah, that means you are born with a good foundation, I'm really envious."
The driver looked at the back of his exposed hands, which had become as black as charcoal after driving every day.
Qiu Huoming and Zhao Jiamin smiled at each other...
