Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 25

Of course, given my father's character, it's not unjustified for him to encourage my mother to divorce him.

However, Zhao Da'e always felt that having his little sister born meant losing his father, which was somewhat undesirable.

Nothing happened that day. The next morning, the doctor came and said that Cheng Jinxiang had been hospitalized for seven days, her condition was stable, the child was fine, everything was good, and she was ready to be discharged.

A hospital is not a hotel, and the environment here is not good. There are often emergency room admissions at night, so people don't get a good rest.

Zhao Da'e went to check the hospital bills and other related documents. There were a lot of bills and a lot of expenses, but fortunately, there were no outstanding fees.

The village should have advanced this money.

However, it was almost time for the bill to be overdue. Zhao Da'e ran out and thought it over and over, wondering whether to find a horse-drawn carriage or ride a donkey back to his hometown, or hire a taxi.

The roads in my hometown are in very bad condition. After you get off the highway, there are still several miles to go. Tricycles and donkeys can travel without any problems, but cars have a very hard time getting around.

Zhao Da'e walked from the county hospital to the bus station. There were many vehicles on the street, all carrying passengers.

While searching, Zhao Da'e unexpectedly found an acquaintance. This person belonged to one of the families behind the temple. There was a small temple in Dongtaizi Village, and behind the temple lived a few families who were also under the jurisdiction of Dongtaizi Village. People were used to calling that place "behind the temple."

The person Zhao Da'e saw was the young man from Old Liu's family behind the temple. Zhao Da'e didn't know his real name, but she knew that his nickname was Xiangzi and that he was younger than her, so he should call her Little Aunt.

Zhao Da'e patted Xiangzi, who was squatting on the ground smoking, and asked, "Are you Xiangzi?"

Xiangzi was taken aback: "Yes, yes, yes."

"Xiangzi from the Guangfa family?"

"Yes, you are..."

Zhao Da'e revealed a mysterious smile: Hahahaha, where did the wool go?

"Don't you recognize me? My father is Zhao Tiesheng, and my grandfather is Zhao Tingxu. Before the New Year, your family's cow had a calf, and my father even helped your parents pull it. Later, when your parents invited us to dinner, my father didn't go. When he came home, he said, 'In our village, Xiangzi is a very promising young man. He's ambitious and hardworking, and he bought a minivan and drives a taxi. He'll definitely be the richest man in the village in the future...'"

Xiangzi was only in his early twenties. When he heard Zhao Da'e say that, he was convinced that this person was indeed from the village. However, when he heard Zhao Da'e say that he was the richest man in the village and the future richest man, he couldn't help but feel smug: "Oh, I just drive a rickshaw and make some money. What richest man? That's a long way off for me."

“By the way, you call my dad ‘Big Brother.’ So according to seniority, I should call you ‘Little Aunt.’” Xiangzi chuckled, revealing a row of small white teeth. “Little Aunt, are you just leaving or going home? If there’s anything I, Xiangzi, can do for you, just let me know.”

"Nothing much, I was just picking my mom up from the hospital and taking her home. I was just thinking about hiring a car to get home. But our place is in a remote area, and I doubt I could find any other drivers. I was thinking it would be great if I knew someone there. I was looking for a car when I ran into you," Zhao Da'e said with a touch of emotion.

Upon hearing this, Xiangzi asked, "Your mother is in the hospital? What happened? Is she sick?"

"Nothing much, I just came to give birth. I'm being discharged today," Zhao Da'e replied.

"Then why hire a car? I'll drive you back." Xiangzi stood up, then asked, "Little Aunt, have you eaten? I'll arrange for you to eat first."

"I've eaten, I've eaten," Zhao Da'e said. "But I'm not being discharged today, it's tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last day of injections, and after that I'll be discharged."
