Early in the morning, it was not yet dawn.

Zhang Haixia has already gotten up early and is preparing for the day's business.

The moon is still hanging in the sky, and a few last stars are still stubbornly refusing to leave. On a dark suburban path, Li Shaoan walked silently with his luggage on his back.

The cloth bag on his back was found by Zhang Haixia for Li Shaoan. It contained some pickles and steamed buns for him to eat on the road, and they were all dry food prepared by Zhang Haixia for three or four o'clock.

Walking along this small road in the suburbs, we walked to the east and turned white, and finally saw the concrete road surface. There was a simple bus stop sign on the side of the road, which said the earliest bus departed at 6:30 in the morning.

Standing by the roadside, he chewed the steamed buns Zhang Haixia had brought with him with pickled vegetables, and Li Shaoan just ate and waited while eating.

Looking back on the past half month after I came to the provincial capital, I have experienced too many things and met too many people.

There are bad people, villains, evil people, and people as kind-hearted as Sister Xia.

Everything in the past has become the past. Now what Li Shaoan is thinking about is returning to his hometown earlier, and there are still many things waiting for him in the future.

A very shabby bus drove over. The bus was empty and there was no one. Li Shaoan found an empty seat and sat down. There was still a long way to the city. He could use this time to close his eyes and rest for a while.

...

On both sides of the familiar national highway, there were scattered gray tiled houses, and everything did not change much from when leaving.

Li Shaoan got off the minibus, and after a day and a night of twists and turns, he finally returned to Yangqiao Town.

The place where I got off the bus was the small road leading to the rice noodle factory. Li Shaoan couldn't wait to rush to the factory to take a look. The wind was rising all the way and he walked very fast.

When he arrived at the factory gate, there was a lively scene inside. Huang Xiang led a few female workers to pull the fresh wet powder they had just made into the yard to dry.

Seeing Li Shaoan coming, Huang Xiang raised his eyebrows and was very surprised. He immediately wiped his wet hands on his clothes and walked up quickly.

"Boss, why are you back?"

"What, I can't come back." Li Shaoan was in a good mood and deliberately joked.

"No, please inform us in advance and we can pick you up." Huang Xiang said.

"No need, I am such a big person, can I still need to accept it?" Li Shaoan asked with a smile: "How is the situation in the factory recently?"

Huang Xiang nodded and said, "It's very good. Now our factory's business is getting better and better, and the daily output is steadily increasing."

Li Shaoan was very happy: "That's good, you can do it first, I'll go inside and take a look."

Huang Xiang suddenly seemed a little difficult to speak and asked in a low voice: "Boss, don't you know your elder brother's situation?"

Li Shaoan suddenly felt nervous and said anxiously: "What's wrong with my elder brother?"

"I was hospitalized not long ago. Director Shen has visited you several times. You have not been here during this period, and everyone can't contact you, so I can't inform you of this news."

"Then is my elder brother still in the hospital?"

"Here, Director Shen went to visit your elder brother yesterday."

"I! Alas!"

Li Shaoan was so anxious that he slapped himself in the face, and he never thought that his elder brother had fallen ill again during the period when he was in the provincial capital.

Thinking that he could not be with him to take care of his elder brother when he was sick, Li Shaoan felt guilty.

“Where is the motorcycle?”

"Jinkui has built a carport for you. The motorcycle parked inside is right next to the dormitory."

"Okay, then I'm going to the county town now. I'll talk about anything when I come back."

As soon as he returned to the rice noodle factory, he heard that his elder brother was sick and hospitalized. He didn't even have to drink a sip of water. Li Shaoan hurriedly rode his bike to the county people's hospital.

Li Shaoan blamed himself along the way. If he were there, he would at least take care of his elder brother.

When he arrived at the county hospital, Li Shaoan just wanted to see his elder brother quickly. He was too lazy to care about fruits and milk. He stopped the car and went straight to the hospitalization department.

At the nurse's desk, he asked the floor and room where his elder brother lived. Li Shaoan rushed to the ward.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the sound of two women talking from inside. One of them was Li Shaoan's sister-in-law Tan Hongxia, and the other Li Shaoan could tell that it was Sun Liping who parted at the station that day.

Sun Liping is here too?

This surprised Li Shaoan. After the two parted at the station that day, Li Shaoan thought that Sun Liping would hate her actions and would never see her again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the door of the ward, I heard Sun Liping's familiar voice. It sounded like talking and laughing inside. Sun Liping and Tan Hongxia had a great chat.

"Girl, Shaoan's elder brother has fallen ill during this period, and he has really troubled you. You are here to visit me every day, and I am sorry for me." Tan Hongxia looked at Sun Liping with gratitude.

"It should be, don't think too much. It's important to take good care of your illness." Sun Liping said: "I work in the county, so it's convenient to come here, so there's no trouble."

Tan Hongxia said embarrassedly: "Come here, come here. Don't bring these fruits in the future. Look, the fruits here are piled up here, and his elder brother can't eat too much, and I can't eat them all by myself."

"Okay, then I'll listen to my sister. I won't mention anything when I come here again." Sun Liping nodded and smiled.

"That's right, don't buy anything anymore." Tan Hongxia smiled with satisfaction.

Since Li Shaoguo was hospitalized, Sun Liping has received nowhere news and has come to visit her every day.

Originally, when they first met Sun Liping, they were a little restrained because they didn't meet many times before, and they vaguely heard that Sun Liping was an official in the county, which made Tan Hongxia and Li Shaoguo even more frightened.

Unexpectedly, Sun Liping was not arrogant at all, and was very polite to Li Shaoguo and Tan Hongxia. She thought about everything carefully, which made the couple very helpful.

Over time, Tan Hongxia and Sun Liping got along very well, and they were also called sisters.

"Shao An?!"

Tan Hongxia was smiling, and suddenly she saw a person standing at the door from the corner of her eyes. Her expression froze in surprise. Li Shaoan, who had been missing these days, appeared at the door.

When Sun Liping heard this, she immediately looked back and saw Li Shaoan standing at the door. She hadn't seen him for a long time and had lost weight when she got dark.

"Liping...I didn't expect you to be there too..." Li Shaoan's expression was a little embarrassed.

"Your brother is sick and you are not here these days, so I'll come and visit you." Sun Liping said.

Seeing that these two seemed to have something to say, Tan Hongxia smiled and said, "Shaoan, your elder brother and I have caused many troubles to others these days. You must thank Sister Sun. I see that you two have not seen each other for a long time. If you have anything to say, go outside and talk about it."

Sun Liping's cheeks were slightly red, she smiled shyly at Tan Hongxia, and immediately walked out of the ward.

Tan Hongxia gave Li Shaoan a look and whispered: "Miss Sun is waiting for you, why are you still standing there?"
