Chapter 57

It only took more than an hour to take the bus from Hutai County to Chaonan City, and Wei Jiefang was even more exhausted from sleep.

Wei Sheng was very sleepy at the moment because he was with friends late last night.

The family of three dragged their tired bodies out of the station.

The outside of the bus station is quite messy, people come and go, and it is noisy.

In the midst of the cold wind, the black cars pulled alive, the private bus called the line to sell tickets, the sweet potatoes and gloves on the street stalls, and the soldiers wrapped in military coats and sold scalper tickets together formed a classic picture of a northern city in the late 1990s.

Far away, I saw a middle-aged man wearing dark blue clothes and red slacks, with long hair reaching his shoulders, hurriedly greeted him.

To say that the first impression of this man is the tide, which is exclusive to the tide of this era.

Nowadays, in this era of Wei Sheng, men in big cities are trending with half-length and not-short hairstyles, imitating Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

This is not just for young people, even some middle-aged people in their thirties and forties prefer it.

If you heat another roll, you can add moisture.

"Old Wei! Sister-in-law! Hello, hello!" The man greeted him with a smile on his face and shook hands with Yang Lichun.

Yang Lichun was a little uncomfortable with this for a while, and he was shaking his hand in a panic, "Hello, you are..."

This man Wei Sheng knew, his name was Qian Chuang.

Qian Chuang was a child of his father. In the past, his father was a friend who grew up together in Chaonan City. The two lived in a compound. They studied together in elementary, middle, and high school until they graduated from college, and their father moved to Hutai County to work.

But their connection has never been broken. My father took my mother back to Chaonan City to celebrate the New Year in the first two years of marriage, but after two unhappy experiences, I never went back.

At that time, my father would go out alone to make appointments with friends, and it was Qian Chuang and their group.

Qian Chuang used to be a police officer, but the father of a colleague in his unit ran a first-class factory, so he knew about this and planned to resign and go to the sea, so he got his father.

In Wei Sheng's limited understanding, he only remembered that Qian Chuang's colleague promised that their goods could be collected by his father's factory, and he would not delay the payment and settle the bill on the spot, but only charged a 100 yuan per car as a cut.

Later, when the price of plastic plummeted, Qian Chuang threw away his father's money and ran away. Later, he made a fortune in the south, but his father committed suicide by jumping off the building in debt.

Of course, Qian Chuang is enthusiastic and happy at the moment.

He carefully snatched the luggage from Yang Lichun and Wei Sheng, "I'm here, I'm here! I'm Qian Chuang, Lao Wei's good friend, he should have mentioned it to you!"

"Oh, it's Brother Qian." Yang Lichun knew this person, but he didn't know what to call him when they met for the first time.

Qian Chuang hurriedly waved his hand, "Hey! I'm younger than him, so my sister-in-law can call me my brother. I'm out in the car, and you're tired from the long journey, hurry up, get in the car and rest!"

As he spoke, he took the lead, carrying his luggage and rushing forward.

That warm and thoughtful energy, it is not difficult to leave a good impression.

"Is he the old money who did business with you?" Yang Lichun asked in a low voice from behind.

Wei Jiefang nodded, "Qian Chuang is a righteous man. He used to be a policeman, and he has some ways to go to the south. This time, thanks to him, he saved a lot of trouble."

Yang Lichun nodded understandingly, feeling that liberation really has some good friends in the south.

She knows that Chaonan City is not small, and its area is very large. A bridge in the city separates the south of the bridge and the north of the bridge. It takes more than an hour for a bus to travel from the starting point to the end point. People are willing to drive all the way to wait for them and pick them up. , it's all love.

If there is no money to break in, their family of three may have to wait for the bus.

Take a taxi? In Hutai County, Yang Lichun was reluctant to give up easily, not to mention coming to this south-facing city, she felt distressed when she saw the taxi jumping meter.

Therefore, for Yang Lichun, Qian Chuang's pick-up is undoubtedly a help in the snow.

When he walked out of the station, he saw Qian Chuang standing next to the old-fashioned Jetta on the roadside, waving at them and smiling as he put his luggage in the trunk.

Facing the south in November, it has already entered the late autumn, and it may snow soon, so when I got out of the car, I obviously felt the cold wind, and Wei Sheng couldn't help wrapping his collar tightly.

After getting into the car, Wei Jiefang sat in the front, Yang Lichun and Wei Sheng sat in the back seat.

Qian Chuang turned his head and asked with a smile, "Is this Wei Sheng?"

Wei Sheng stared at Qian Chuang, and suddenly smiled, "Hello, Uncle Zhang."

"Lao Wei, this is your fault, I've never seen a girl so old before!" Qian Chuang said, taking out a hundred yuan from his pocket and stuffing it into Wei Sheng.

Wei Jiefang hurriedly stopped, "Put it away! What are you doing, I wouldn't let you come to pick it up if I knew it! Hurry up and put it away!"

Wei Sheng didn't pick it up either, just smiled and sat back.

The two of them tore apart like this for a long time. After Yang Lichun participated in the persuasion, Qian Chuang finally took the money back and said, "What are you doing? It's the first time you see a child with empty hands. Go, go first. I'm going to pick up the wind from my house! I'll send it back to you later, it's so close anyway."

It is estimated that Wei Jiefang had already prepared for this matter. Yang Lichun saw that her husband had not declined, so it was difficult to refuse. The family of three was dragged to their house by Qian Chuang.

Under Wei Sheng's inquiries, she learned that the house she rented this time was no different from the previous one, it was the same one.

The location of this house is interesting, it is in the building next to Qian Chuang's house, and it is also next to Wei Jiefang's father's house.

As mentioned earlier, Qian Chuang and Wei Jiefang were friends since childhood and lived in a compound. After Qian Chuang's father died, he took over the house of his old father and still lived in the former compound.

And Wei Jiefang returned to the south after more than ten years. Except for Qian Chuang and his own father, he was no longer familiar with the place. With the help of Qian Chuang, he found a nice house with two bedrooms and one room. Hall, the area is slightly larger than that of Hutai County.

The bus terminal is in the north of the bridge, and Qian Chuang's family lives in the south of the bridge. It took about half an hour to drive the car all the way into the compound.

The old factory compound is gradually opening to the outside world. It has been a few years now. There is no guard outside the compound, just like an open community.

Several children in red and yellow jackets were playing in the yard, seemingly hiding.

Some elderly people were sitting next to the flower beds downstairs, playing chess and chatting.

Wei Sheng suddenly felt that this scene was extremely beautiful, like a picture scroll on kraft paper, full of traces of time.

Qian Chuang's house is located in the third building of the compound, and the floor is also the third floor.

Eighty square meters, two rooms and two living rooms, the child's bedroom is so small that it can only accommodate a bed and a study table, but it is very warmly arranged.

Qian Chuang's family has a daughter, who is the same age as Wei Sheng this year, and has not yet returned home.
