Rebirth in the 1960s, starting from Chinese medicine

Chapter 894 Return

Here, Li Chu and the others are ready to wash up and go to bed, while a large crowd of people poured out from the exit of the Sijiucheng Railway Station over there.

Because of the snow, the train that was supposed to arrive at noon was delayed by nearly ten hours. Those who sat on the train suffered, and those who came to pick them up suffered even more.

Because there is no specific time for this delay, the train station can't even determine when it will be delayed, and there are no such convenient communication tools now, so the people who come to pick up the station can only die here and wait.

In this kind of weather, waiting outside, tsk tsk, just thinking about it is enjoyable.

When all the people in this group came out, there was no one walking behind. The staff at the exit were just about to close the iron gate when another figure appeared behind.

The staff member was full of impatience, and was just about to call her to hurry up, only to realize that this person seemed to have a problem with his legs and feet, and was holding a snakeskin bag in his hand, walking with a limp.

Seeing this, the staff member shut her mouth resentfully, because her leg was injured, and she didn't procrastinate on purpose to delay the time, she still had some patience.

After the figure came out, the iron gate behind her was closed. Hearing the movement behind her, she looked back, then turned around and picked up the bag again and walked to the side of the road outside the train station square.

Under the light, her face appeared, it was Qin Huairu who was picking up trash in the south to accompany her son.

She had to come back.

Last month, that is, in late November, she waited until the day of her visit to go to the prison to meet the stick. Only then did she know that her son had been transferred to the Northwest to serve his sentence as early as the day after the visit last month.

Hearing this news, Qin Huairu was dumbfounded.

Why did she run all the way from Forty-Nine City to this unfamiliar place? Isn't it just to get closer to the stick? This is good, Daxibei, she doesn't even know what Daxibei is. Where and how far away.

When she heard a policeman at the gate of the prison tell her that it was nearly 10,000 miles from here to the northwest, more than 4,000 kilometers, she just sat down on the ground.

Moreover, Daxibei is just a general term, it is a very big place, and the people here don't know exactly which prison her son will be assigned to after he goes there.

When the policeman heard that she came from Sijiu City, let her go back, saying that if she settled down there, she could write a letter to her family, and then she would know the exact address.

To be honest, Qin Huai didn't believe it, she didn't believe that her little stick would be sent to the Northwest.

So she didn't leave, but stayed here, continued to pick up trash, and planned to visit again after a while.

At the beginning of December, she went to the prison again, this time she completely gave up.

Because the letter sent by the prison was found and no one returned it, she saw the returned letter. Although she didn't know many words, she was able to read the letter after stuttering, so she was finally sure. .

She had no choice but to leave for Sijiu City as soon as possible, because the stick could write a letter to her family at any time.

This is how the scene in front of me came about.

Walking to the side of the road, Qin Huairu looked around, she was a little confused, this is the place she had lived for decades, but at this moment she didn't know where she should go.

This city no longer has her home. When she left, she sold everything she could sell like a sinking boat. When she came back this time, she didn't even have a place to live, and she couldn't even spend money to stay in a hotel. Because she didn't have a letter of introduction.

Go back to her mother's house? Her natal home is near Sijiu City, which is a way, but even if she walks back now, she may not be able to make it there tomorrow morning, and it is even more likely that she will be caught on the way...

Standing on the side of the road and thinking for a long time, the only thing she could think of was to go to her two daughters.

Picking up the bag at her feet, she braved the wind and snow and walked westward. Her legs and feet, which were still limping when she came out just now, miraculously healed after standing for a while.

She didn't know that Xiaodang and Huaihua both lived in the backyard of the store on Qianmen Street, so they could only go to the old restaurant of Xu Damao's house.

It was past ten o'clock when she came here, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road, only occasionally one or two went out early to work the night shift because of the heavy snow.

Walking to the gate of Xu Damao's house, she looked at the closed gate and the dark yard, and hesitated.

She thought of last month when Xu Damao and the others went to pick up He Yuzhu's ashes and came back. At that time, all three of them went to her door, but she didn't even pay attention to them.

Now that she came to her, what if they treat her like that?

In this way, she stood at the door for a long time, until she couldn't stand the cold anymore, then gritted her teeth and patted the door twice.

Everyone in the room was already asleep at the moment, and her knock on the door woke up Lou Xiao'e, who was already a light sleeper.

"Da Mao, Da Mao..."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Did you hear someone knocking on the door?"

"Knock on the door? Did you hear it wrong? Isn't there a doorbell? Who will knock on the door?"

"No, no, I just heard someone knock on the door."

As soon as the words fell, there were several knocks on the door.

This time Xu Damao heard it, and he sat up in surprise.

"Huh? There are still people outside, who is it so late?"

"I don't know, go and have a look."

"Well, lie down, I'll get dressed and go take a look."

Putting on cotton trousers, putting on a coat, and just about to go out, Lou Xiaoe leaned forward and pointed to the bed and said, "Take the flashlight and the steel bar."

"Oh well."

Just like that, Xu Damao opened the door and walked out with a flashlight in one hand and a steel rod in the other.

Lou Xiaoe, who was lying on the bed, thought about it and put on a cotton jacket and trousers.

After Xu Damao went out, he quietly walked to the gate without turning on the lights in the yard.

First, I lay down on the door and looked out through the crack of the door. There was just a backlight here, and I could only see a dark figure outside. I couldn't tell what it looked like, whether it was a man or a woman.

"Who is outside?" He had no choice but to ask.

"Da Mao, Xu Da Mao, it's me, Qin Huairu!"

"who?"

"I'm Qin Huairu."

Xu Damao was about to go stupid, he wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Otherwise, how could a person who should be in the south knock on his door in the middle of the night.

"who are you?"

"Da Mao, I'm Qin Huairu, I just came back from Yangcheng."

Well, I didn't run away this time.

"Who are you with?"

"It's just me, I'm really the only one out there."

"No, Qin Huairu, what are you doing here? Aren't you staying with your son over there?"
