Chapter 99: Someone from the Cowshed



Xu Qianjiao looked up from her workstation at the serious middle-aged man in front of her, a little confused. She stood up and nodded seriously, "Yes, I am Xu Qianjiao."

Suddenly, the man looked at her and his expression softened. "How is it? It's your first day at work today. Are you feeling comfortable?"

"Adapt, adapt." Xu Qianjiao was a little confused, but still answered seriously.

"Just adapt to it. If you have any problems in the future, just come to my office."

Xu Qianjiao was stunned, not knowing what was going on, but after he said that, she nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, I understand."

Seeing her nod, the man nodded to everyone, then turned and walked out of the ticket hall. Everyone looked at Xu Qianjiao, wondering what her relationship with the stationmaster was.

Yes, the man just now was the stationmaster of the train station. They were stunned when they saw him walk in. He took over and walked straight to Xu Qianjiao. Could it be that Xu Qianjiao was a royal relative? If so, it would be easy to "get along well" with her.

Xu Qianjiao was still standing there in a daze. Liu Fangjie smiled and pulled Xu Qianjiao, "Let's go to the cafeteria to eat."

"Okay." Xu Qianjiao was dragged away in a daze, and she still hasn't figured out what just happened.

Seeing that she was still confused, Liu Fangjie found it a bit funny. She leaned over to Xu Qianjiao's ear and whispered, "That was our station manager just now. He's Sister Huang's husband. Didn't you go to the office to see Sister Huang this morning? Didn't you see the station manager?"

After hearing what Liu Fangjie said, Xu Qianjiao immediately understood that he came to see her because he was commissioned by Sister Huang, and he came specifically to support her.

She was a little touched. She didn't expect Sister Huang to go this far. After all, they had just met and it was just a business relationship. She could just hand over the work and not care about anything else.

But not only did she not ignore it, she also asked her husband to support her. Now she really owes Sister Huang a big favor.

She shook her head and said honestly, "I haven't seen her. When I went to the office this morning, I only saw Sister Huang inside."

"It seems that you have really caught Sister Huang's eye. Sister Huang was very low-key when she worked here. Now she actually asks the stationmaster to support you. It's really strange." Liu Fangjie teased Xu Qianjiao jokingly.

She had no idea about this. She was a person with connections and was used to these things. She didn't think it was a big deal.

Her own family is not bad, otherwise she wouldn't be able to come here to work.

Xu Qianjiao smiled subtly and did not continue the topic. She calmly changed the subject and said, "Xiao Jie, where are we going for lunch?"

Liu Fangjie took the lunch box and walked towards the cafeteria. "The cafeteria is over here. We have meal tickets. I'll take you to Sister Chen to get them after dinner."

The two walked to the cafeteria. It was still early, so not many people were inside. Liu Fangjie looked at Xu Qianjiao and asked, "By the way, Jiaojiao, did you bring a lunch box? If not, you can buy a disposable one in the cafeteria and bring your lunch box tomorrow."

Xu Qianjiao shook her head. "I didn't bring any. I'll buy some disposable ones today."

"Yeah, okay."

Liu Fangjie took Xu Qianjiao to the window, glanced at the menu on the blackboard, and excitedly pulled Xu Qianjiao's hand, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, we have braised pork today. You're in for a treat! Our canteen's chef makes delicious braised pork. We can pack an extra portion and take it home tonight."

"Wow, that's great. I must try it." Xu Qianjiao curled up the corners of her mouth and said excitedly when she heard this.

The two girls went to the window to get food. The canteen chef was very familiar with Liu Fangjie, so he served them a big bowl full of food. Xu Qianjiao smiled and said, "It's really thanks to you that I got a big bowl full of food today."

"Hey, let's go to the corner and eat quietly without letting them know." Liu Fangjie said jokingly.

"Hahaha, let's go."

After lunch, the two returned to the ticket office. They had a two-hour break at noon, but their homes were not close, so they didn't plan to go home. They just sat in the ticket office and rested for a while.

There wasn't much work to do in the afternoon, so the two of them even had time to chat quietly. In one afternoon, Xu Qianjiao learned a lot about what was going on in the station, and their relationship immediately progressed by leaps and bounds.

Sure enough, gossip is the best way to promote friendship among girls.

-------------------------------------

On a winter afternoon, the sky gradually darkens and a cold breath fills the air. Pedestrians on the road wear thick winter clothes, hats, scarves and gloves.

Xu Qianjiao was standing at the station entrance wearing a cotton-padded jacket, waiting for Cheng Jiawen. Liu Fangjie came out pushing her bicycle and saw Xu Qianjiao still standing at the entrance. "Jiaojiao, are you waiting for someone?"

Xu Qianjiao nodded, "Yes, I'm waiting for my husband to pick me up."

"Huh? You're married?" Liu Fangjie widened her eyes and looked at her in surprise. She really didn't guess that Xu Qianjiao looked even younger than her, so how could she be married?

Xu Qianjiao's lips curled up slightly, "Yes, we just got married not long ago."

"Tsk, I wonder how that man is so lucky to marry you?" Liu Fangjie joked with a smile.

Xu Qianjiao smiled slightly and said arrogantly: "That's right, he is very lucky to marry me."

Liu Fangjie rolled her eyes at her and said, "You are so narcissistic. You are really over the top when I praise you."

"Hahaha."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Liu Fangjie looked at her watch and said, "Okay, it's almost time. I should go now. Be careful."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Xu Qianjiao waved at her and said with a smile.

Liu Fangjie got on her bicycle, waved at her, and turned to leave. Xu Qianjiao continued to stand there waiting for Cheng Jiawen to pick her up.

It's time to get off work. People are hurrying along the streets and alleys. They are wrapped in bulky coats and walking with their heads down. Before Xu Qianjiao could express any emotion, Cheng Jiawen arrived.

He took out a sweet potato wrapped tightly in cloth from his lapel and stuffed it into Xu Qianjiao's hand. "Are you hungry? Have some of your favorite roasted sweet potatoes to fill your stomach."

Xu Qianjiao opened the cloth and looked at the still warm sweet potatoes. Her heart also felt warm. She carefully peeled off the sweet potato and took a bite. "Hmm, so sweet, try it."

After that, he handed the sweet potato to Cheng Jiawen's mouth. Cheng Jiawen smiled faintly, opened his mouth and took a bite, "Delicious."

In this way, the two of them took turns eating the sweet potatoes, finished them, and rode their bicycles home.

When they arrived at the village entrance, for some reason, a crowd of people gathered. Xu Qianjiao jumped off her bike and looked towards the crowd. "What happened?"

"Don't you know? Someone has come to the cowshed. I heard he was a big shot in the past." An aunt came over and gossiped with the two of them enthusiastically.
