Naturally, both of them were willing, especially Lu Chengcheng. After becoming friends with Cheng Maixiang, he felt that she always seemed to be able to bring something different to him. Being with her, his life became more and more fulfilling and satisfying.

"By the way, what are you two planning to do this May Day?" Ruan Peiling suddenly asked.

In that era, there was no concept of statutory holidays. Workers in the city had weekends, but farmers in the countryside had no holidays all year round. This May Day happened to fall on a Tuesday, and there were no holidays anywhere. However, the provincial university took a day off to encourage students to go to the countryside and factories to see how the working people worked.

"I've asked my counselor for a few days off and plan to go back to Shuangshui Village to arrange the relocation of the new factory."

Last week, Wei Lingcheng clearly told Cheng Maixiang that the sewing machines she purchased had arrived and that someone would be found to transport them to Shuangshui Village during the May Day holiday. She would also take this opportunity to move the garment workshop to the new factory.

"Okay, Chengcheng, what about you?" Ruan Peiling asked weakly.

"My dad's company is organizing a labor trip to the countryside, and I plan to go with him so I can get some exercise." Lu Chengcheng said, then looked at Ruan Peiling with pity, "Peiling, don't you have anywhere to go? If not, I'll talk to my dad and ask you to come with us!"

"Ah----" Ruan Peiling suddenly screamed, scaring Lu Chengcheng.

"I've gotten into such a bad state that even you feel sorry for me, Maizi. I don't want to live anymore." Ruan Peiling lay on Cheng Maixiang's neck, crying deliberately for comfort, but was slapped down by Cheng Maixiang.

"Okay, stop acting. Cheng Cheng doesn't know, and neither do I. But among the three of us, you're the one who can go to the most places, and yet you're pretending to be pitiful in front of us." Cheng Maixiang exposed her mercilessly.

Ruan Peiling laughed and said, "Since you all have your own things to do, forget it. I was planning to invite you to go play in the suburbs."

Early in the morning on the weekend, Wei Lingcheng sent a driver to take Lin Qingwan and Yingying to the Lin family mansion.

Looking at the large and small bags in the car, Cheng Maixiang looked at the bag on her back and suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Alas, compared to my elder sister, I seem to be too unfilial to Mother Cheng. I only brought such a small amount of things home, and was scolded by Lin Jiayu yesterday.

However, if she saw anything nice on weekdays, she would buy it for her family and send it back home through the post office. This was because she was afraid that when she went back during holidays, she would have to carry too many things on the road and it would be inconvenient to get on and off the car. However, Lin Jiayu did not listen to her explanation very much and directly classified her as someone who forgot her mother after marrying her husband.

"Aunt, aunt, let's go quickly. The sooner we go back, the sooner I can see Qiaomai."

Yingying was wearing a little dress designed by Cheng Maixiang, and her eyes were surprisingly bright. She had been looking forward to this day since she came to the provincial capital, and now the wait had finally come.

Wei Lingcheng's unit had an event this time, and he couldn't go back with them, so he prepared a lot of gifts for Lin Qingwan to take back.

He had originally thought of asking the driver to take them home, but Lin Qingwan and Cheng Maixiang disagreed.

Originally, the driver was assigned to him by the unit for office use. Although he sometimes had to pick up and drop off his wife and children, he basically kept the journey within fifteen minutes. This time when he returned to Linwen County, it took the driver at least six hours to go back and forth. This was using the company car for personal purposes, and if it got out, it would affect his reputation.

Cheng Maixiang got in the car, put away the shabby bag in her hand, and took out a few pounds of spinach she had picked from the yard and handed it to the driver Hu. "Master Hu, this is grown by my family. It's quite fresh. You can take it out and let your sister-in-law and children taste it. It's not something valuable, so please don't despise it."

Driver Hu took it with a smile, "Look, we got some of Comrade Cheng's stuff again. My wife always says that the vegetables grown by Comrade Cheng are fresh and delicious. There's no doubt about that."

Whenever Driver Hu came to the Lin family, Cheng Maixiang would give him some fresh vegetables. She knew that those who worked as drivers for leaders, whether they were leaders or their families, would give gifts privately. So she would give him some vegetables, which were both practical and inexpensive, and Driver Hu liked them very much.

In this era, there were few vegetable markets in the city like in later generations, and there were no markets in the countryside. City dwellers usually bought vegetables from local vegetable companies.

But the vegetables there are rarely harvested from the fields on the same day, and there are no subsequent preservation measures. The vegetables bought are often very stale, which is far inferior to the fresh vegetables that rural people can eat from their own private plots.

Therefore, Driver Hu was very happy every time Cheng Maixiang gave him fresh vegetables.

When they arrived at the provincial capital's long-distance bus station, driver Hu was busy bringing Lin Qingwan's bags into the station and putting them on the long-distance bus. He watched the four people's car leave the station before he drove away.

Along the way, Yingying kept leaning on the car window and looking at the scenery outside. It was now the end of April and the weather was getting hotter. There were lush trees on both sides of the road, and trees of snow-white apricot blossoms from time to time. Compared with the bare trees on both sides at the end of February, it seemed like two different worlds.

Three hours passed in a flash. As soon as the bus stopped at Linwen County Bus Station, Yingying saw Qiaomai waving at her through the window. She shouted excitedly and waited at the door of the bus without paying any attention to the three people who were packing their luggage. As soon as the door opened, she rushed out.

The two girls shouted and jumped, hugging each other. Cheng Maixiang put on her own bag and took the two small bags from Lin Qingwan. She said with a smile, "These two children have such a good relationship. The moment Yingying saw Qiaomai, she abandoned us."

Lin Qingwan followed the crowd toward the bus stop, smiling as she walked, "She kept nagging about it all night last night and didn't even sleep well. Before daybreak, she pulled me and her dad out of bed, saying she was worried we'd leave too late and miss the bus."

Lin Qingwan had prepared so many gifts that the three of them had to carry them on their backs, in their arms and in their arms as they arrived at the station. Cheng's mother and sister-in-law were dumbfounded and hurried to take the things from the three of them. Cheng's mother complained to Cheng Maixiang, "It's such a long journey, and you're carrying so many things. It's so cumbersome. You usually send back so few! Xiaojia, too. Why don't you talk to her and let her do whatever she wants!"

Lin Jiayu smiled and said, "Mom, it would be great if Maizi really had this intention. She carried that bag on her back and brought it back for her. I said it was too little, but she wouldn't listen to anything I said."

Mother Cheng then realized that all these gifts were brought by Lin Qingwan, and she couldn't help but say to her, "Xiao Lin, we are not strangers, there is no need to bring so many big and small bags. Don't be so polite in the future. Look, I'm afraid you must have been tired in the car!"

Long-distance buses of this era have large carriages but few seats. Basically, the luggage brought by passengers is either tied to the roof or carried in the carriage. Just now on the bus, three people, including Yingying, were afraid that the luggage would take up too much space, so they all sat on their bags.

The worst thing was that the road from the provincial capital to the county town was very bumpy these days, and the car's shock absorption function was poor. Cheng Maixiang was bumped all the way and barely avoided motion sickness, but her butt was hurt by the luggage.
