Chapter 165 Leaving Shou County
Meng Renjie glanced at Li Wanqing with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "The possibility you mentioned is not nonexistent."
His voice carried a barely perceptible hint of excitement, as if he had found a glimmer of light in the darkness.
As he spoke, he laughed with satisfaction, a hearty and infectious laugh, "Hahaha, this can be considered your fate with that kid Cheng Baichuan."
Li Wanqing couldn't help but marvel at how wondrous fate truly is in this world.
The fates forged by her parents' generation, the fate of the original owner marrying Cheng Baichuan, and the fate of her transmigrating—all of this seemed to be predestined.
A complex mix of emotions welled up within her, but more than anything, she felt a deep appreciation for the life she had now.
"We're going to the provincial capital tomorrow, Uncle, what are your plans?" Li Wanqing asked softly, her tone filled with concern.
"Of course I'll go with you!" Meng Renjie replied with a smile, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"I'll also visit some old friends." His tone was full of nostalgia.
After being exonerated, he spent most of his time dealing with family and hospital matters.
He didn't even have time to visit those old friends who had fought alongside him.
Of course, some people may not want to see him, or they may find him unlucky.
But Meng Renjie didn't care about these things. He knew that whether others cared or wanted to see him was their subjective will; but whether he went to see him was his principle and attitude in dealing with people.
On the day I left Shou County, the sky was a clear, deep blue, and the rare sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
This time, Li Wanqing and others chose to travel to the provincial capital by car. The vehicles originally provided by the military region were temporarily requisitioned due to an emergency mission.
Li Wanqing was curious about the specific tasks to be carried out, but she was also well aware of the rules and could not ask too many questions.
Inside the bus station, the bustling noise couldn't mask He Mei's deep reluctance to part with Li Wanqing.
She hugged Li Wanqing tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice choked with emotion: "When you get back, you must remember to write to me and call me! Don't make me worry."
Li Wanqing gently patted He Mei's back and comforted her tenderly, "Of course, we're in the same boat now, partners, of course we have to stay closely connected."
Her tone was firm and her eyes were earnest; she truly comforted people.
He Mei was amused and burst out laughing. She deliberately put on a serious face and said, "Then you'd better take good care of yourself. I'm still waiting for you to help me achieve great success."
After saying that, she hugged Nuonuo tightly in her arms again, "Nuonuo, you must miss your godmother!"
The little guy seemed to sense the sadness of parting, and hugged He Mei tightly with his little hands, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
He Mei was so moved she almost cried... and then there was another wave of reluctance to part.
As the departure time drew closer, Cheng Baichuan couldn't help but urge softly, "It's almost time, we should go."
Upon hearing this, He Mei immediately glared at Cheng Baichuan with a cold look, her tone carrying a hint of warning: "Cheng Baichuan, let me tell you, you'd better take good care of Wanqing and Nuonuo."
"If I find out you're treating them badly, I don't care if you're the leader or not, I'll make you pay!"
Her fierce gaze and harsh tone clearly demonstrated how much she valued Li Wanqing.
Cheng Baichuan was slightly taken aback, then a faint smile appeared on his lips. He didn't hold it against He Mei: "Okay, I understand. I will definitely treat them well."
His eyes were full of sincerity; his promise was not only to He Mei, but also to Li Wanqing and her daughter.
As the bus started its journey with a "humming" sound, the train conductor began urging passengers to board.
Even though He Mei was reluctant, she could only let go and let Li Wanqing take Nuonuo into the car.
Li Wanqing found a seat by the window, held Nuonuo's little hand tightly, and waved goodbye to He Mei.
The car started slowly, and Li Wanqing and Nuonuo only slowly lowered their hands after He Mei's figure gradually blurred and disappeared from sight.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely have more opportunities to meet in the future," Cheng Baichuan comforted him, his tone warm as he tried to ease the sadness of parting.
Li Wanqing nodded, forcing a smile: "Yes, I know."
Not to mention the distant future, they will definitely be able to see each other again in less than a year.
The car took three hours to reach the provincial capital. When they arrived at the bus station, they took Cao Xuefeng to the train station.
His holiday was over, and he couldn't stay in Hunan Province. After arriving in the provincial capital, he took the fastest train back to Sichuan Province.
After seeing Cao Xuefeng off, Cheng Baichuan arranged for Li Wanqing, her daughter, and Meng Renjie to stay at the military region's guesthouse.
The conditions here are better than outside, and it's also safer.
After that, Cheng Baichuan and Cheng Chi were still nowhere to be seen all day long, while Meng Renjie went to visit old friends.
Li Wanqing then contacted Fan Hua to learn about the market situation.
After that, she began wandering around the markets in Hunan Province, looking for suitable goods.
In Shou County, she had already secretly collected some items and transported them back to Sichuan Province by train.
Fan Hua said that the sales there were quite good, so she planned to get a batch of goods from the provincial capital to take back.
She worked for three whole days to gather all the goods and send them off.
During those three days, she traveled to almost every market in Hunan Province, dealing with various vendors and haggling over prices.
Although the process was somewhat arduous, she felt a great sense of accomplishment when she saw the goods successfully shipped.
After finishing all these things, Li Wanqing finally had time to take Nuonuo for a stroll around the provincial capital.
The city parks at that time were far less beautiful than those in later times, with rudimentary facilities and fees ranging from a few cents to a few dimes per visit.
But Nono really enjoys going to the park to feed the fish, and she always has a great time doing so.
In the park, fish swim happily in the water, occasionally leaping out of the water and splashing out ripples.
Nuonuo held the fish food in her hand and carefully sprinkled it onto the water's surface, her eyes fixed on the fish, afraid of missing any exciting moment.
Her face was beaming with a pure smile, as if the whole world had become a better place because of her happiness.
After getting tired of strolling in the park, the mother and daughter went to buy various snacks. The snack stalls were filled with all kinds of delicious food, with fragrant aromas that made their mouths water.
Nono is happy every day, and her little face is always adorned with a satisfied and happy smile.
On the way back to the guesthouse, the mother and daughter carried large bags of various snacks and souvenirs.
Nono checked each one carefully, afraid of missing anything.
This is for Dad!
This is for Grandpa!
This is for my great-uncle!
This is for the security guard!
.......
The little guy counted carefully, making sure not to miss anyone.
Looking at her daughter's earnest expression, Li Wanqing felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
She knew that although Nuonuo was young, she already knew how to love and care for others.
Li Wanqing usually didn't restrict her from doing these things, so it was rare to see the little one having so much fun. She smiled as she looked at her daughter, her eyes full of doting and pride.
As Li Wanqing approached the guesthouse entrance, she saw a group of people blocking the entrance from afar.
It doesn't look like they're watching a show; it looks like they're looking for trouble!
