Chapter 254 Leaving Home
On August 17, Gu Hansong went to the city to visit his teacher Fu Weibo, and then bought tickets for the others to go to South City.
Hearing that the Gu family and Meng Shulan were leaving, many people came to visit them in the past few days.
This time, I won’t be back until at least the end of the year for the holidays.
Meng Shulan is okay. She went there to study and her home is still in the village. She will have to come back in the next few years.
It’s hard to say about the Gu family, they are just moving and will settle down there in the future.
Everyone felt emotional when they saw the Gu family packing up their things and dealing with the pots and pans that they couldn't take away.
They were originally a poor household in the village, but who would have thought that in less than two years, they would soar to fame and leave the countryside before them.
The day before leaving, Meng Changli brought her two children back to the village, and the two families got together for a meal as a practice.
Early the next morning, a large truck from the factory arrived and helped carry the luggage of several people.
There isn't actually much luggage. Apart from some clothes and the books that Gu Hansong has collected over the years, there's nothing else to bring from the Gu family. You can buy new ones when you get there.
Meng Shulan had the most stuff among the group, with clothes and books filling three large boxes each.
The driver loaded the group's belongings and goods together and took them into the city first. Gu Hansong and his group then took the town's bus to the city.
When they were leaving, most of the villagers came out to see them off, and told them that when they had free time or holidays, they could come back to the village to sit and visit everyone.
Meng Fude drove the car and took He Jinqiu, Meng Changli and their mother and daughter to the town station to send them on a long journey.
When they got here, the people who were seeing them off stopped.
He Jinqiu still wanted to send her daughter to the train station, but Meng Shulan thought it was too troublesome to go back and forth, and since her sister was there, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
Meng Changli also said: "I will send them there, don't worry."
Meng Changli will also go to the city with us later.
Soon, the car into the city was about to leave.
It was fine at first, but now it felt a little uncomfortable. He Jinqiu's tears were about to fall. She wanted to rub them, but she held them back.
If her daughter saw her wiping tears, she would definitely not be able to hold back her tears.
Before getting on the car, Gu Yue also gave Meng Huina and her sister some chocolate candies from his collection.
At the end of last year, Meng Changli negotiated with the Huang family on the condition of exemption from child support, and the two parties signed an agreement to sever ties. Afterwards, she placed an advertisement in the newspaper to leave a record for her two daughters and changed the children's surnames to Meng, following her own. They now became daughters of the Meng family.
Gu Yue was going to a very far place with her uncle and she didn't know when she would be back. She gave the two sisters her precious candies that she was reluctant to eat, hoping that the two sisters would miss her.
Coincidentally, Meng Huina and Meng Sijia also prepared chocolate candies for Gu Yue.
There was no way. When I asked Gu Yue what gift she wanted when she left, she said she wanted candy.
As a result, both parties prepared the same thing, and after going back and forth, they still had the same amount of candy in their hands, which was just a formality.
The car started moving, and Meng Shulan waved to her relatives outside the window. She would not be back until the winter vacation.
He Jinqiu smiled and tried to respond to her daughter, but when the car drove away, she started crying.
Meng Fude said to her, "Shulan is going to college, it's a happy thing, why are you crying?"
He Jinqiu glared at him, "It's a happy occasion, so what? It's her first time going out for such a long time, isn't it normal for me to feel bad about her? You're the only one who doesn't feel bad!"
Meng Fude laughed, "Alright, alright, I know you feel bad..."
On the bus into the city.
Meng Shulan also held a handkerchief to press the corners of her eyes. It was the first time she left home in this life, and she felt a little sad.
Gu Hansong squeezed her palm.
Meng Shulan breathed a sigh of relief and tried to adjust her mood.
After entering the city, the group went to the wholesale department to rest.
There is still some time before getting on the bus, so you can have lunch here and take a rest before setting off.
When they arrived at the place, Gu Hansong pushed his father to the bathroom first. When he came out, he saw Meng Chenggong coming over.
Meng Chenggong had said before that he would see everyone off and treat everyone to a meal when they left.
The group discussed it and went to a nearby hotel.
The hotel is not the most high-end, but it is a well-established one and the food there is very good.
In the past, Meng Chenggong always felt that Gu Hansong had abducted his sister and felt very aggrieved. Now that the two are engaged, he has let it go. During the meal, he patted Gu Hansong on the shoulder, wishing him a bright future and hoping that he would contribute more to his hometown in the future.
After finishing their meal, they packed their things, called a taxi, and, together with the jeep driven by Meng Chenggong, set off for the train station.
Meng Changli and Meng Chenggong both bought platform tickets. They sent them to the train, put their belongings away, and then waved goodbye and prepared to get off.
"Shulan, call me when you get there!"
"knew."
Meng Changli hugged her sister and said, "Next month, I will go to South City to check out the goods. I will find you then."
Meng Changli now goes on business trips to South City once a quarter to look at fabrics and see the world.
"Well, tell me when you're sure."
Meng Changli leaned close to her sister's ear and whispered, "Pay attention to the things I told you last night."
Hearing her mention this, Meng Shulan looked unnatural, "I know."
Meng Chenggong and his sister went downstairs.
Meng Shulan stood by the window and talked to the two of them until the car started and she could no longer see her brother and sister, then she slowly sat down on the small stool in the corridor.
Just as she sat down, Gu Hansong came over, handed her some water, and asked her in a low voice, "What did Sister Chang Li say to you last night?"
Meng Shulan glanced at him. How could this man be like this? Eavesdropping on other people's private conversations! Meng Shulan coughed lightly and said, "Nothing."
Gu Hansong didn't ask any more questions, just smiled.
Meng Shulan: “…”
His smile is not innocent. I feel like he guessed something.
After more than twenty hours on the train, the group brought some dry food, but not much. When the time came, Gu Hansong and Meng Shulan would take Gu Yue to the dining car to eat, and then bring back some for Grandma Wu and Gu Zhongyuan.
At around five in the morning of the day after tomorrow, we arrived at South City.
As soon as the car stopped, Meng Shulan heard Shen Chengyuan's voice.
"Brother Han, Sister Shulan..."
Shen Chengyuan sounded very excited, and his voice was so loud that it could be heard from far away.
This guy bought a platform ticket and came in to pick them up.
Meng Shulan leaned out of the car window, looked outside, and called the person over.
Shen Chengyuan did not come alone, he brought three young people with him.
"Brother Han, Sister Shulan!"
Shen Chengyuan showed his white teeth and smiled very happily. He called this and that, and finally squatted down on his own initiative to carry Gu Zhongyuan out of the car.
Gu Zhongyuan was quite embarrassed, but the young man insisted on carrying him, and he could not refuse his kindness.
This time, Shen Chengyuan not only brought people, but also drove two cars.
After leaving the station, the group arrived at their destination in about two hours.
