Chapter 219 Return

"Others..." Jiang Cheng followed up with a sigh.

The loud sigh made Lian Jie and Guiying look at her who was leaning against the window.

"Hey - Comrade Guiying, my business -"

Jiang Cheng choked up.

Sister Lian was dumbfounded.

Lian Jie: I always feel that Jiang Cheng is going to use some different tricks?

Jiang Cheng tilted his head and lowered it, stroking his eyebrows with one hand. His back and the strands of hair that fell down spoke of sadness.

"Comrade Guiying, at least you still have a family that loves you wholeheartedly, but I... wuwuwu..."

The moment the crying sounded, Sister Lian felt numb all over.

My ancestor, what on earth are you trying to do?

"When I was little...I never had a full meal. I was so hungry that I had to fight with chickens for insects."

"I have been washing clothes and cooking since I was a child. I would go up the mountain to chop wood before dawn and go fishing in the river in the middle of winter. My hands were covered with chilblains."

…

"When I grew up, I had to do more work! I even starved myself at one point because I didn't want to grow up!"

Jiang Cheng's narration was full and affectionate. Guiying cried as she listened to it. Lian Jie looked as if she didn't know whether she should believe it or not.

She knew that Jiang Cheng had a hard childhood, but was it really that bad?

"I thought I had found support, but it turned out to be another wolf's den."

….

Jiang Cheng talked about the Lin family.

According to her account, the mother-in-law is difficult, the sister-in-law is a troublemaker, the old lady is a fussy person, the father-in-law is a hypocrite, and Lin Chengyuan is a real scumbag.

Guiying's fear of married life was rising rapidly.

Guiying thought, if she married Zhang Dazhui, would she have to live such a life?

You can see the end at one glance, but you can’t see the end at another glance.

Lian Jie, who was sitting between the two of them, stopped guessing and simply wiped her tears. She felt distressed.

Jiang Cheng’s “misery” continues.

"I finally managed to get away from the Lin family, and I begged and pleaded with everyone to support myself, but it was really difficult!"

"How can I, an ordinary girl who knows nothing and is honest and upright, stay in the city?"

Lian Jie, who was wiping her tears and feeling heartbroken, had a heart attack and almost suffocated herself.

Honest and dutiful? Ordinary girl? Is it difficult to find a job?

Which of these three words is closer to Jiang Cheng?

Next, Jiang Cheng described the "difficult" process of finding a job.

A temporary worker at a scrap factory met a bad guy and lost his job; a single woman went to night school and met a human trafficker.

I finally got the chance to go out and take a train, but the train derailed.

Guiying listened with fear, concentration and sympathy.

Sister Lian's eyes twitched like a fan when she heard this.

For a moment, I couldn't even pretend to cry.

Meet bad guys at the scrap yard? But you sent all the bad guys in.

Met a human trafficker? How come she heard that the human trafficker was beaten beyond recognition by a group of people?

Train derailed?

This is true, but why didn’t you say that later you got to know foreigners through this incident, which started your crazy business of fooling foreigners and making foreign exchange?

Jiang Cheng was still "picking" out the story, and Lian Jie felt uncomfortable being sandwiched between the two of them.

Because the niece behind her believed it wholeheartedly, what a silly girl who was easily deceived.

As for the person in front of her, he perfectly demonstrated one word: miserable!

“Wuwuwuwu——Comrade Jiang Cheng, it’s not easy for you!”

Comrade Guiying couldn't help but push Sister Lian aside and carry Jiang Cheng out.

She cried and patted Jiang Cheng on the back, saying, "It's okay, everything will be fine in the future, don't be sad."

"So many bad things have passed, and everything will be fine."

Guiying began to comfort Jiang Cheng in turn.

Jiang Cheng was so immersed in the role that he sobbed and his arms were shaking as he held Guiying.

In fact, she was winking at Sister Lian.

Sister Lian was amused by Jiang Cheng and simply gave him a thumbs up: You are awesome!

Jiang Cheng perfectly demonstrated how to comfort others through practical actions. That means you are not living as well as she is.

On the short journey back to Hongqi Commune, Guiying was completely moved by Jiang Cheng and showed her sympathy for him through actions.

Drink water?

Guiying fell down.

cold?

Guiying will cover you with a blanket.

Eat?

Guiying will give it to you.

In short, Sister Lian was pushed to the other side and didn't even get a glance from her niece the whole time.

There was no other reason. Guiying felt that Comrade Jiang Cheng had a very hard life. Compared with Jiang Cheng, her little troubles were really nothing.

In this way, the truck drove back to Hongqi Commune.

Director Lu had no objection to the addition of one more person. It was not his family's business. After asking a few simple questions, that was it.

! .

Nearing noon, several people prepared to return.

The captain prepared a lot of things for Jiang Cheng, so Jiang Cheng naturally expressed his gratitude.

At the same time, she also left some bills for the captain.

There is no shortage of food and drink in the village, but receipts are scarce.

Many families still have several people sharing one cotton-padded jacket.

But there is no way, now is the time to tighten our belts to supply foreign exchange.

Director Lu and several others stood beside the truck, watching Jiang Cheng and the team leader exchanging polite words out of habit.

But Guiying didn't know the inside story. She thought to herself: It seems that everyone feels sorry for Comrade Jiang.

A beautiful misunderstanding thus arose, and Comrade Guiying believed it without a doubt.

On the other side, Jiang Cheng finally got into the car carrying his things.

Director Lu was puzzled: Why are you carrying a few bundles of firewood?

Jiang Cheng didn't explain and called a few people to get in the car.

Waving goodbye, the truck slowly drove out of Hongqi Commune.

On the way back, Master Li tried to drive as fast as possible because he didn't want to travel after dark and was also afraid that it would snow.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the sun at one o'clock in the afternoon was blocked by thick clouds.

The temperature was getting lower and lower, and everyone in the car huddled together.

It felt like I was stepping on a lump of ice, and it was getting colder and colder.

We wandered along the way and it was completely dark by around five in the afternoon.

Snowflakes began to fall sporadically from the sky.

Director Lu, who was in the co-pilot's car, leaned forward and asked anxiously, "Xiao Li, how long will it take us to get there?"

The driver, Mr. Li, took a look and estimated, "It will take at least two hours."

Director Lu hummed. Although he was anxious, he was not in a hurry to solve anything.

"Just drive as you like. There's no need to rush. Safety is our top priority."

Master Li nodded and said okay.

After more than half an hour, the snow had blocked the view.

The wipers on the front of the truck couldn't clear the windshield, the only thing to be thankful for was that the road wasn't that slippery.

Because they were walking on a dirt road, not the smooth and slippery roads of later generations.

The roar of the truck was mixed with the sound of clanking.

After driving for a while, the truck began to creak and Master Li had a bad feeling.

He tapped the steering wheel gently and said, "Brother, hold on!"

"I know you're cold, just hold on a little longer and we'll be home!"

Master Li kept muttering to himself, and the truck brothers supported him for about twenty minutes out of respect.

The sound of the engine became smaller and smaller, and finally there was a bang, and the roar of the engine suddenly disappeared and the truck stopped.

In the heavy snow, we stopped at a place where there was no village in front and no shop behind.
