Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 799: Talking about Picking Up People

Since the money was distributed, the production team, which had already had few people moving around, has become even quieter.

If Liu Jingxue hadn't released her spiritual sense occasionally and seen people in every household, she would have thought that there was no one in the village.

New Year's Day was approaching. During dinner in the cowshed, Liu Weihua told Liu Jianjun,

"Jianjun, go to town tomorrow and call your brother to get confirmation on when he will be coming.

They have never been here, and we will have to pick them up when the time comes.

Find out the exact time so you can pick them up."

Liu Jianjun did not refuse, "Okay, I'll go there early tomorrow morning."

He looked at Liu Jingxue, "Xiaoxue, are you going to town tomorrow?"

Liu Jingxue shook her head, "Brother, you go by yourself. I won't go."

The snow on the road is so thick that it is difficult to ride a bicycle. To go to town, you can only ride the production team's ox cart or walk.

If she went with Liu Jianjun, she would most likely have to walk there, and she didn't want to suffer that.

If she went there alone, she could turn invisible and fly over on a sword, and it would only take a few minutes.

"You can go there by yourself, why do you have to ask your sister for help?

It's so cold, it's not appropriate for a girl like her to go outside. If she catches a cold, it will be a big deal." Wang Xiulan scolded.

Liu Jianjun smiled and said, "I didn't pull her, I just asked casually.

I thought she was bored at home and wanted to go out for a walk."

"Xiaoxue is not going, Brother Jianjun, let me go with you.

Some things at home are running out, so I have to go to town to buy some more.

I have to call home." Zhou Mingxuan said.

Zhao Junhao heard this and hurriedly said, "If you all go, I'll go too.

Otherwise, it would be boring for me to be alone at home if you all are not here.

I have to call home, too.”

"Okay, then the three of us will go together.

But I'm afraid I can't ride a bicycle, I have to walk." Liu Jianjun said.

Liu Jingxue suggested, "You have three people, why don't you go borrow a sled from the team.

When the time comes, one person will pull and two people will sit, taking turns, which is better than all walking."

Zhao Junhao laughed when he heard this, "Actually, you don't need anyone to pull it.

Uncle Ji has a hunting dog, why don't we borrow one from him and have him take us to town?"

When Liu Jingxue heard this, she immediately laughed and said, "You wish.

Uncle Ji's family treats Heizi very dearly. They are so reluctant to use him that they even lend him to you as a porter. How dare you say that?

Believe it or not, if you dare to speak up, Uncle Ji and Brother Shi Hu will definitely beat you out."

"How is that possible? We have always had a good relationship with Brother Shi Hu.

Last time I wanted to borrow their hunting rifle, they lent it to me without saying a word.

This time I just borrowed Heizi, how could he not lend it to me? ", Zhao Junhao retorted.

Seeing that he would not listen to her advice, Liu Jingxue simply urged him, "Why don't you go and try and see if Brother Shi Hu will beat you out."

"Okay, Xiaoxue, stop teasing him," Zhou Mingxuan said.

He looked at Zhao Junhao and said, "Don't be so stubborn. If you dare to speak up, you might really be kicked out of their house.

Heizi's status in his family is higher than that of Brother Shihu.

I heard from the production team that they let Heizi ride on the sled and they pulled it, but they didn’t let Heizi pull their family members.”

Zhao Junhao was helpless, “Then there is nothing we can do.

It seems we can only follow Xiaoxue's advice and take turns pulling the sled."

Everyone continued to eat.

“My eldest brother and his friends should have gone to Beijing first and then changed trains here.

I don't know how many trains there are from Beijing to here, and whether we can take the same train we took when we came back last time." Liu Jingxue said uncertainly.

Zhou Mingxuan swallowed what he had in his mouth and explained to Liu Jingxue,

"Xiaoxue, you don't know this.

There is only one train from Beijing to the Northeast.

So Brother Liu and the others must have come here on that train."

Liu Jingxue thought back, "I remember we arrived in Xishi at around ten in the morning last time."

“Normally it’s at that time, and when we came here, we got off at Xi City at that time.

But now it is uncertain." Zhao Junhao said,

"After all, it's winter now, and there's too much snow. No one knows if there will be delays."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiulan asked, "It's around ten in the morning, so when is the earliest bus from Linshan Town to Xi City?

If we leave in the morning, can we reach Xi City before ten o'clock?"

“I’m afraid it’s difficult.

Moreover, the town’s buses have not been running every day in the past few months.

I heard from people in the town that if the snow is too heavy or too deep, the buses will also stop running." Zhou Mingxuan replied.

Liu Weihua frowned when he heard this, "This is difficult.

If the bus stops running, how are you going to go to Xi City to pick up your eldest brother and his family, and how are you going to get back to Linshan Town from Xi City?"

“I don’t know if the ox carts in the village are willing to go to Xishi.

If you want, you can rent a bullock cart to go to Xishi to pick someone up." Wang Xiulan said worriedly.

Liu Weihua shook his head, "I'm afraid that won't work.

Firstly, we didn’t know the way, and secondly, the journey was too far.

Xiaoxue had said before that it took them nearly two hours to take the bus from Xi City back to Linshan Town. If they had taken a ox cart, it would have taken an unknown amount of time.

Besides, the train arrives in Xi City at 10 a.m. on time. If we want to get there so early, we will probably have to leave in the middle of the night.

It must have been very cold at that time. Niu Jingui from the production team would not agree to be treated so badly. "

"This is just one reason. Besides, this place is mountainous. If we set out in the middle of the night, there is a high chance that we will encounter wild animals coming down the mountain at night. It is too unsafe," Liu Jingxue added.

Wang Xiulan became even more anxious after hearing this, "What should we do then?"

"If we really encounter such extreme weather, there is nothing we can do.

The bus service has been suspended, so we can only stay in Xi City for two days.

Basically, this kind of weather will last for a day or two. Stay in Xi City and wait for the cars to resume operation before coming back.

To be on the safe side, Jianjun, you should go to Xi City a day in advance and wait for your eldest brother and his family." Liu Weihua said.

"No problem," Liu Jianjun agreed readily.

Liu Jingxue started to think about it and realized that she should pray for her elder brother and the others to bring them some good luck.

So that they won't encounter any extreme situations and can come here smoothly.

Liu Jingxue was thinking about something and didn't notice that Zhou Mingxuan was talking to her.

It wasn't until he pulled her clothes that she woke up.

Zhou Mingxuan put the blanched meat into Liu Jingxue's bowl with a serving chopstick and asked,

"Xiaoxue, what are you thinking about? Why don't you answer my question?"

“Ah, I wasn’t thinking about anything, I was just thinking about how tall Little Tiger is now.

I wonder if the clothes my aunt made for him are long enough." Liu Jingxue said casually.

"By the way, what did you just ask me?"

"Mingxuan asked you, when we go to town tomorrow, should we bring you something?" Zhao Junhao answered first.

Liu Jingxue thought for a moment and said, "I don't need anything, but please bring back some more toilet paper.

There are a lot of people here, and I'm afraid the previous ones are almost used up.

My eldest brother and his friends will be coming later, so we need to prepare more.

And bring back some more kerosene, toothbrushes and toothpaste."

Knowing that these two people had a way to get the tickets, Liu Jingxue didn't hesitate.

"That's all, you don't need anything else?"

She already had oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and food, so Liu Jingxue couldn't think of what she wanted, so she looked at Wang Xiulan.

"Aunt, what else do you want to buy?"

Wang Xiulan thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy a bottle of shampoo, the previous one is almost used up.

Xiaoxue has already said the rest."

Zhou Mingxuan nodded, "Okay, I understand."
