Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 127 - 122: Driving the Car

The two had a conversation, and on the other side, Fang Xiu and Luo Zhiming had already gotten up, as had Luo Dashan and Zhou Yunmei.

It was unclear what exactly Luo Zhiming and his wife were doing last night. They kept saying they were packing, but come morning, they were still busy. They forgot this, didn’t take that, making the whole family rush around to help, worried they would miss the train.

After Luo Zhiming’s belongings were all sorted out, the couple finally came out of the house.

Pingying looked at Luo Zhiming and sighed helplessly.

Luo Zhiming was wearing a brand-new Zhongshan suit, and his leather shoes were shining brightly, anyone who knew the situation would realize he was just going to the city to work. Those who didn’t know might think he was actually going off to make his fortune.

Dressed like this, at least he wouldn’t have to worry about thieves on the train.

However, Zhou Yunmei and Fang Xiu kept praising how good Luo Zhiming looked in his outfit, saying that one must dress well when going to the city, so as not to be looked down upon. Pingying couldn’t bother to comment, and just urged them to hurry, or else they would be late.

Thus, the whole family carried the couple’s luggage and sent them off to catch the train.

The entire family was present except for Luo Cuilan. Because of the incident the day before, Zhou Yunmei had sent her early yesterday morning to ask the Zhang family for money to go to the hospital. It was unclear whether the Zhang family refused to give money or what, but she hadn’t returned.

Zhou Yunmei couldn’t be bothered to urge her, especially since it coincided with the matter of Luo Zhiming going to the provincial city. She was too busy with this to care about Luo Cuilan’s situation.

Naturally, Zhou Yunmei and Fang Xiu were mainly there to send off Luo Zhiming, constantly advising him on the village road to be careful outside, to save money, and to send money back home on time.

Aside from Luo Honglan and Luo Dashan, Zhou Yunmei and others didn’t have time to speak with Pingying; only just before boarding the train did Zhou Yunmei instruct, "Pingying, take good care of Zhiyong once you get there, come back together for the New Year, Zhiyong promised me."

Pingying agreed, and the bus started.

The bus ride from their home to the county took almost two hours, and the road was very bumpy. Perhaps because she hadn’t eaten anything in the morning and the bus was crowded, Pingying felt a bit car sick.

Several huge bags sat on her lap, nearly suffocating Pingying.

She wanted to hand the large bag in her hands to Luo Zhiming in the front, but Luo Zhiming was already asleep in his seat, drifting from side to side. Pingying didn’t wake him, so she just endured the journey.

By the time they arrived at the county, Pingying couldn’t bear it any longer. As soon as the bus stopped, she found a spot to vomit, nearly throwing up all the bile in her stomach before feeling relieved.

Fortunately, she hadn’t managed to eat anything that morning, so Pingying just vomited some water. Although she felt uncomfortable, it wasn’t too disgraceful.

After throwing up, Pingying went to find Luo Zhiming where she had got off the bus.

She didn’t see him, but she saw Luo Zhiming’s two bags near a shoe repair stall.

Pingying walked over, pointed to the two bags, and asked the shoe repairman, "Sir, did a young man leave these bags here for you to watch?"

The shoemaker, not recognizing Pingying, looked at her with some caution, "Yes, what about it?"

Pingying smiled at him and said, "That’s my brother. I recognize these bags as his. Do you know where he went?"

The shoemaker, probably seeing that Pingying didn’t seem harmful, pointed to one side and said, "Seems like he said he was going to the shop up front to buy some cigarettes."

As they were talking, the old uncle saw Luo Zhiming approaching from afar and reproached him, "Look, is that your younger brother?"

Fang Pingying followed the old man’s pointing finger and indeed, it was Luo Zhiming.

At that moment, Luo Zhiming was holding a lighter in one hand and a pack of Hongqiao brand cigarettes in the other, lighting up a cigarette.

Fang Pingying remembered that this brand of cigarettes was quite expensive at the moment, costing about 50 cents a pack, yet Luo Zhiyong at home only smoked occasionally, and those only cost ten cents a pack.

Fang Pingying sighed helplessly, it seemed that Luo Zhiming’s character hadn’t changed from his previous life; no matter if he had money or not, he always liked to act rich wherever he went.

They had just gotten off the bus, the luggage wasn’t even sorted out, he didn’t seek them out yet he immediately went to buy cigarettes, and even such a high-end brand; his vanity was truly excessive.

Luo Zhiming held the cigarettes and walked over, took a deep drag, then styled a pose and blew out a circle of smoke, thinking it was cool. He flirted with a wink to some young girls waiting nearby before coming over to Fang Pingying.

He saw Fang Pingying and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, where did you go just now? I didn’t see you after getting off the bus."

"I was a bit car sick, rested over there for a bit," Fang Pingying wasn’t in the mood to chide him and frowned, "Let’s not talk much, let’s go to the train station to buy tickets, otherwise we might not get tickets for the 10 o’clock train."

"Alright." Luo Zhiming replied, taking the bag from the old man, handed him a cigarette and thanked him with a smile, "Uncle, thank you for keeping an eye on my things."

The old man, seeing it was such a nice cigarette, hurriedly accepted it, waving his hand towards Luo Zhiming, "No big deal."

They went to the train station and since they came early, there weren’t many people, so they waited in line at the ticket counter without much hassle.

The train ticket to the provincial city cost 4.50 yuan each, Fang Pingying took out her money to buy the tickets, but saw Luo Zhiming standing still, with no intention to take out money to buy tickets, so she directly called out to him, "Zhiming, give me your money, I’ll buy the tickets together."

Luo Zhiming chuckled and said to Fang Pingying, "Sister-in-law, front me the money for now. Fang Xiu didn’t give me much, I’ll pay you back after I get my salary."

Fang Pingying frowned; she saw Zhou Yunmei secretly give him five yuan before they left, but she didn’t say anything.

However, as many people were lining up behind them, she couldn’t wait long, so she took out another five yuan and bought two train tickets to the provincial city. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

After buying the tickets, there was still an hour before the train left, so Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiming found a place to sit with their luggage.

As soon as Luo Zhiming set down the bags, he was ready to head out again, saying, "Sister-in-law, watch the luggage for a bit, I’m going to take a look outside."

Fang Pingying knew Luo Zhiming wanted to check out the bustling county scene, but since they would be boarding soon, she stopped him, "No need to go, just sit here. Let’s eat something, the train will be here soon."

After saying that, Fang Pingying took out the lunch box Luo Honglan had prepared for them, planning to eat something before boarding.

Seeing this, Luo Zhiming slightly furrowed his brow and glanced towards the waiting room.

Seeing other passengers from the city eating with fancy paper bags containing attractive golden bread or Western-style pastries, looking both stylish and prestigious compared to the eggs and buns in Fang Pingying’s lunch box, he felt it incredibly plain.

He felt embarrassed being spotted as someone from a rural area among so many people.

He quickly waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, you eat, I’m not hungry." (To be continued.
