Chapter 41 - City (1)

As it was not the end of the year, all the seats on the bus were full, but fortunately, no one was standing in the aisle. This also made the air in the bus not smell bad.

Chen Meng’er sat on the lap of her father, Chen Ping. At first, she was still excitedly stretching her neck and looking at the scenery outside the window. Since her rebirth, the furthest she had gone was to follow her mother to her grandparents’ house, she usually stayed in the village.

However, gradually, Chen Meng’er could not resist the drowsiness. She leaned on her father, Chen Ping, and fell asleep.

“Meng’er, wake up. We’re here.” Just as Chen Meng’er was sleeping soundly, her father, Chen Ping, woke her up.

“Hm?” Chen Meng’er opened her eyes. For a moment, she did not know where she was. The cuteness of Chen Meng’er rubbing her eyes instantly endeared all the ladies in the car. Looking at Chen Meng’er’s cuteness, they all had the urge to take her home and spoil her.

“Meng’er, wake up. We’re in the city. We’re about to reach the station.” Following Chen Ping’s words, Chen Meng’er also slowly woke up. She also saw the big words “City N Bus Station.”

Chen Ping and Chen Meng’er, the father and daughter pair, came out of the bus stop. They looked at the road that could be said to be filled with traffic, and for a moment, they did not know where to go.

Chen Meng’er had never been to City N in her previous life and this life. Not to mention, it was still the City N in the early 1980s. As for Chen Ping, he had been here before a few times only. And every time he came, someone would bring him along. He was someone who followed behind others. He did not pay attention to which road they had taken.

Not only was Chen Ping completely ignorant of the city and did not know anything else, he was also conflicted about where to sell the ginseng. Chen Ping carried a cloth bag on his back and held his daughter Chen Meng’er’s hand, watching the people and cars coming and going on the road. He just did not move.

Chen Meng’er was still thinking about selling the ginseng. She was still waiting to sell the ginseng for a good price and change the life of her family.

Chen Meng’er looked at her father, Chen Ping, who was at a loss, and sighed in her heart. It seemed that she could only rely on herself. Chen Meng’er opened her big, watery eyes and looked around. When she saw the middle-aged man standing on the side of the road, holding a newspaper in his hand and constantly asking passersby if they wanted to buy newspapers, Chen Meng’er broke free from her father’s hand and ran towards the man selling newspapers with her short legs.

This made Chen Ping, who was holding his daughter’s hand, anxious when he saw his daughter running away. He didn’t care about anything else and chased after her daughter. Chen Ping shouted as he chased, “Meng’er, where are you going? Don’t run around.”

Chen Meng’er heard her father’s shout, but her movements did not stop. Instead, she seemed to be speeding up. When Chen Meng’er ran to the uncle who sold newspapers, she could not even breathe. This made Chen Meng’er alert. Her physical fitness in her first life was really not that good. It seemed that when she went back, she would have to retrain.

Chen Meng’er did not dwell on this question for long. When the man who sold newspapers lowered his head and saw the panting little girl standing beside him, he lowered his head and asked, “Little girl, you want to buy newspapers?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“No. Uncle, I don’t want newspapers. I’m here to ask for directions. I want to ask you, do you know where the biggest pharmacy is in this city?” Chen Meng’er raised her small face, she looked at the uncle who sold newspapers and asked.

As soon as Chen Meng’er’s question was asked, Chen Ping rushed over. He just happened to hear his daughter Chen Meng’er’s question. He wanted to scold his daughter Chen Meng’er for running around, but he forcefully swallowed his words. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the person who sold newspapers, waiting for his answer..
