Chapter 17 Received a Telegram



Ning Xi wasn't afraid of him: "Uncle Lin, are you trying to scare me to death? If anything happens to me, it will definitely be your fault."

"How could that be? I'm just too surprised. Money, right? Wait, Uncle Lin will go and raise it for you."

Lin Yongjun looked at her thin neck and wanted to go up and strangle it.

But he still endured it.

Just wait and see how arrogant she is when we get to the countryside.

If he works on the farm for two days, he's guaranteed to lose half his life, and he might even be asked to collect the body.

......

When the day of going to the countryside came, early in the morning, several staff members from the street office first came to Lin Yongjun's house to help Ning Xi move her things out of the alley and put them in the car.

After a while, other educated youths came to the gathering point one after another with bags of various sizes. Without exception, they were sent off by their parents, but Ning Xi was the only one who was alone.

The tickets were purchased by the Youth League Office. They were a thin piece of yellow paper with the train number, departure station, destination station, and seat number written on it.

There's not even a departure time.

Ning Xi had also read a novel before, in which there was a saying that nowadays only train tickets sold at the departure station have seat numbers, while tickets for other stations do not.

Due to the underdeveloped information technology, it is impossible to check the numbers in a timely manner.

"Comrade, are you also in the first carriage? Me too. My name is Ren Tingting, nice to meet you!"

A young girl in green military uniform sat next to Ning Xi and greeted her with a smile.

"Hello! My name is Ning Xi." Ning Xi moved to the side to give her more space.

Ren Tingting had two ponytails and a pair of dimples on her round face when she smiled, which made her look particularly adorable. Ning Xi saw her smiling all the time and couldn't help but laugh along with her.

The two chatted along the way, and Ning Xi learned that the other party was working in the countryside in Province D, where his fourth brother Ning Ji Qiu was working.

"Many of us here go there. After all, it's not easy to be assigned to a rural area under our own city. Province D is the closest. Why are you going so far?"

When Ren Tingting found out that Ning Xi was going to Province S in the south, she was so surprised that her dimples disappeared.

"Alas, every family has its own problems." Ning Xi said casually.

The car soon arrived at the train station. Uncle Ning was waiting for her outside with a lot of bags. He was tall, almost 1.9 meters, with ruddy skin, and was very conspicuous in the crowd.

"Xiaoxi, when we start getting on the bus, run up first, find a seat and open the window. I'll hand your luggage up to you from the outside."

Nowadays, the windows of trains can be opened, and there is a lot of luggage. Many people also have standing tickets, so it is difficult to squeeze on the train if you carry luggage.

Ning Xi hadn't really thought of this. She gave Uncle Ning a thumbs-up and said, "I see, Uncle. You're so smart! You're the smartest person in the whole family!"

Uncle Ning's face turned red. How could this girl praise him like that in public? It made him feel embarrassed.

After nearly three hours, the conductor arranged for all the cadres to board the train before notifying the educated youth that they could board.

Ning Xi left all her luggage to Uncle Ning and squeezed into the crowd like a fish. Soon she was in the front.

"Take out your tickets one by one, don't push!" The staff has been trying to maintain order, but their effect is almost zero. Not only educated youth have come, but also a large number of their family members.

At first glance, all you see are black human heads.

Ning Xi squeezed into the car smoothly and found her seat. She opened the window and waved to Uncle Ning: "Uncle! I'm coming up!"

"Here I am." Uncle Ning squeezed to the outside of the window and easily handed the luggage in.

"This bag contains food for the journey, and this is a small palm-leaf fan. If you feel hot, you can fan yourself..." Uncle Ning followed Liu Chunmei's instructions one by one.

"Thank you, uncle, and thank you for your concern, auntie." Judging from the size of the package, it seemed that she had been stuffed with a lot of things, heavy with thoughts.

"Watch the kettle, don't let anyone take advantage of it."

Ning Zhisong handed over the military water bottle hanging around his neck, and felt relieved only when he saw Ning Xi hanging it around her neck.

This military water bottle was brought back by Ning Shuhan, who usually doesn't want to use it.

It has a black cover and green paint, and a canvas strap on the outside to make it easy to carry around. As soon as Ning Xi slung it across her neck, she attracted a lot of envious looks.

......

With the sound of the whistle, the train started slowly and left the crowd of people who were seeing it off behind. Ning Xi waved her hands vigorously, feeling indescribable melancholy in her heart.

It was not until the train left the station and she could no longer see the crowd of people seeing her off that she sat on the chair, holding her package in a daze.

Ning Xi is now feeling more confused.

It was only the third day since she came to the world in the book. She was just an ordinary person and was afraid, but her situation was difficult and she had no time to be sad.

The situation forced her to run around and plan for her future.

But no one knows what the future will be like. The best case scenario is that Zhao Huaiyan is helpful and quickly gets her back.

Otherwise, she would have to spend at least five years in the countryside.

What's more, whether one can afford it is still a question.

Having money doesn't mean you can avoid work. If you are lazy, you may be criticized as a "typical" person. If you are "criticized", it may affect your future schooling and work.

......

"Ning Jiqiu, there's a telegram for you!"

In Wanshun Brigade, Sandunzi Commune, Cheng'an County, Pingyuan City, Province D, Ning Jiqiu was weeding in the cornfield. The long leaves of the corn were not sharp, but they could easily cut the skin if one was not careful.

It doesn't hurt, but once it gets soaked with sweat, it becomes extremely itchy.
