After a few days, the weather improved and Tieshan Bay rarely cleared. It happened that Li Shaoan and Zhao Xuemei made an appointment to go to the county town together.

After breakfast, Li Shaoan came to the entrance of the village. As soon as he arrived, he saw Zhao Xuemei coming.

Zhao Xuemei was wearing the same white cotton coat today, with her fair cheeks slightly red in the cold wind, but this made her look even better.

Li Shaoan greeted him. He was wearing the long windbreaker and a scarf today, just like the one he looked back on the day he came back.

"How long have you been waiting?" Zhao Xuemei was quite apologized and dressed up before going out, which delayed some time.

"It's not long before, I just arrived." Li Shaoan laughed.

"I haven't had breakfast, but the road is far away."

"Eat it, what about you?"

“I ate too.”

Zhao Xuemei took out two hot eggs from her pocket and stuffed them into Li Shaoan's hand. "Eat two more eggs and cook them for you so that you won't be hungry on the way."

After taking the egg and feeling the warm temperature, Li Shaoan felt very happy and smiled and said, "Xuemei, you are so nice to me."

The snow on the mountain road had melted, which was much easier to walk than when I entered the mountain. In addition, I went down the mountain, so the speed was naturally faster. The two of them walked out after about two hours.

Standing at the fork in the road and waiting for about half an hour, he saw a slow minibus coming from afar. Li Shaoan waved and signaled to take the ride.

The minibus was parked in front of the two, Zhao Xuemei walked up first, and Li Shaoan got on the bus. Today, the bus was empty, and the two happened to be in the same position that day.

"Where are the two of you?"

The minibus was moving, and the ticket seller came over.

"county seat."

“One piece five one.”

Zhao Xuemei took out a small wallet with her and reached out to pay for it, but was stopped by Li Shaoan.

Li Shaoan took out a five-dollar bill and handed it to the ticket seller. Then he rushed to Zhao Xuemei who was sitting inside and laughed and said, "How can you let you come? I'll call this ticket."

Zhao Xuemei didn't argue with Li Shaoan. As he said, she took the money back and looked at Li Shaoan with a faint smile.

Shi Guang suddenly seemed to have returned to the same position before they met, and Zhao Xuemei leaned against the car window while Li Shaoan was sitting outside.

I remember that at that time, Li Shaoan thought Zhao Xuemei was very beautiful, and he couldn't help but glance at her. He even annoyed Zhao Xuemei and was stared fiercely.

However, this time the relationship between the two has changed a lot. They sit together and whisper, talking and laughing, and look very close.

"Shao'an Guoguo, we've met again."

A girl's voice came from the back row, with a sense of excitement in her words.

Li Shaoan looked back and saw a girl of sixteen or seventeen blinking her eyes, which was very clever and cute.

"A smart girl, so coincidental, we met again."

"Yes, Shaoan Guoguo, I'm going to see my classmates in the county town. Where are you?"

"I'll buy seeds."

Li Shaoan was surprised. The world is really small and you can meet acquaintances wherever you go. This little girl was Li Lingli whom she met in the car that day. She lives in Yangqiao Town and goes to high school in the county town.

"Hey, isn't this the beautiful sister from that day? It turns out that you two are together."

When Li Lingli saw Zhao Xuemei beside Li Shaoan, she was surprised. She noticed Zhao Xuemei, a cool-tempered beauty in the car that day, but it seemed that she and Li Shaoan didn't know each other at that time, and they didn't talk to each other throughout the whole process. It didn't take long before the two looked good.

"Shao'an Guoguo, you hide it very deeply. You have such a beautiful girlfriend." Li Lingli smiled weirdly.

When Li Shaoan heard her say this, his face turned red. Zhao Xuemei was not his girlfriend. He thought, but unfortunately, it was not the case.

After Li Lingli said this, Zhao Xuemei couldn't resist her shame. Her fair cheeks rose with a touch of intoxicating flushing. She shyly lowered her head and did not deny it.

Zhao Xuemei took out a few oranges from her bag and divided Li Lingli, who was sitting in the back row.

Li Lingli took the orange and said with a smile: "Thank you sister-in-law." Seeing the momentum, Li Lingli has completely regarded Li Shaoan and Zhao Xuemei as a couple.

Li Shaoan's face turned red and white, and he looked at Zhao Xuemei in shame, saying that he was helpless towards Li Lingli.

Zhao Xuemei didn't feel anything. Instead, she liked to hear her call her "sister-in-law".

"Eat an orange."

Looking at Li Shaoan's anxious look, Zhao Xuemei smiled and sent a peeled orange to Li Shaoan.

It is more than 60 kilometers to the county town, and it takes about an hour to drive the minibus up and down along the way.

In the warm carriage, it is particularly easy to get sleepy. Before I knew it, Zhao Xuemei closed her eyes and leaned her head gently on Li Shaoan's shoulder.

Li Shaoan only felt that his shoulder was as if he was electrocuted, and a strange current spread throughout his body. It was the first time that a woman leaned on his shoulder.

"Snow Plum?"

Li Shaoan called out softly, and Zhao Xuemei leaned against her shoulder did not move. It seemed that she was really asleep.

At first, Li Shaoan felt that Zhao Xuemei was embarrassing to lean on his shoulder, but smelling the faint fragrance from Zhao Xuemei's silk made Li Shaoan feel relaxed and happy, an indescribable beauty. I really want to slow down time and enjoy this moment.

Not long after, a sleepy feeling came, and Li Shaoan couldn't open his eyelids, so he leaned on Zhao Xuemei and fell asleep.

After more than an hour's drive, the minibus soon arrived at the county station. Li Shaoan and Zhao Xuemei woke up one after another. Thinking of the scene where they were relying on them just now, they couldn't help but blush at the same time.

"Shao'an Guoguo, sister-in-law, I'm going to find a classmate and take a step first."

After getting off the bus, everyone walked out of the station together. At the gate, Li Lingli, Li Shaoan and Zhao Xuemei said goodbye.

"This little girl just talked nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Looking at Li Lingli's back as she walked away, Li Shaoan shook her head helplessly. She called her brother and sister-in-law intimately. Those who didn't know really thought that Li Shaoan and Zhao Xuemei were a couple.

Zhao Xuemei smiled happily, her beautiful eyes circulated and said, "Is there any? I think this little girl is very cute."

The two walked a few more steps outside the station, and there was a row of rickshaws modified with tricycles.

In 1980, there were no buses in the eighth-tier county towns in the inner six areas. For things like high-end taxis, short-distance travel in county towns are basically solved by this kind of car because the speed is very slow, and this kind of car is also called "slow travel" locally.

"Where are we going now? Go to do your business first or mine?" Zhao Xuemei threw the decision to Li Shaoan.

Li Shaoan smiled, "Go and buy your stuff first. I have a lot of things here and I can't finish it in a while."

The two waved and stopped a car "swim slowly". Before getting on the car, they had to go through a lively step, that is, bargaining.

This kind of car does not have a meter or a distance, but it depends entirely on the coachman to shout prices himself. This price will naturally be full of moisture. When you encounter people who want to save face and don’t bargain or come from other places who don’t understand the road, you can kill one.

Zhao Xuemei is a greedy person and usually deals with money the most. She has a cold and arrogant personality and is more ruthless than ordinary people when cutting the price.

The coachman asked for 50 cents when he spoke, but in a few words, Zhao Xuemei cut her two cents.

After negotiating the price, the coachman shouted and began to pedal the car hard. The two of them were talking and laughing in the car, not paying much attention to where the car was heading.

After a while, Zhao Xuemei glanced out the window intentionally or unintentionally and found that the buildings on both sides were not right. She often came to the county town and was quite familiar with it. This was obviously not the way to the department store.
