Zheng Mingyue was in a dilemma now. She had money, but no tickets. For example, the food coupons were all in her mother's hands. The ones she had were only enough for a meal in a restaurant. There were only two taels of food coupons. It was impossible to exchange her jade pendant for these food coupons.
If she went to ask her mother for food coupons, her father would definitely know about it.
Her father didn't want her to look for the little jade pendant. When her grandfather passed away, it happened to be the beginning of the turmoil. Her father was worried about getting into trouble, so he burned all the things left by her father, Ye Ye Ye. But she was still young, so she secretly hid the little jade pendant.
Later, her father found the small jade pendant and wanted to throw it away, but she cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang herself, so he kept the jade pendant and repeatedly told him not to let others see her jade pendant.
When she was little, she was raised by her grandfather and had a good relationship with him. The little fish jade pendant was specially found for her by her grandfather. She liked it very much. Because of her father's instructions, she always wore the jade pendant around her neck and wore clothes with stand-up collars in summer to hide the jade pendant tightly.
The last time she took it off was because she was going to the bathhouse to take a shower. She was worried about being seen, so she took off the jade pendant at home in advance. As a result, she took it back to the dormitory and wanted to wait until there was no one in the dormitory before putting on the jade pendant. As a result, the jade pendant was lost.
Later, she found out that she didn't see her jade pendant at the police station, but saw another piece of jade. She thought that the man had sold her jade to someone else, so she went to her father and asked him to help get the jade pendant back, because it was her last thought of her grandfather.
Her father didn't like the sight of her wearing a jade pendant, and he wished that the pendant was gone. Her father would be so happy if the pendant was lost, and he would not agree to find it for her.
She had a quarrel with her father and rarely went home these days out of anger. Her mother brought her food.
Zheng Mingyue looked at the money in her hand with some hesitation. If she had a few more days, she would still have some food coupons in her hand, and it might be possible to exchange the jade pendant back, but now all the food coupons in her hand were used up.
"Don't hold out too much hope!" Tian Tian was a little scared when she saw Zheng Mingyue was so excited. She was also worried that if the jade pendant wasn't hers, Zheng Mingyue would feel bad. So she gave her a shot of prevention, "My family only took a glimpse of the jade pendant. We're not sure if it looks like Xiaoyu. Don't hold out too much hope!"
"It's okay, that's better than having no hope at all." Zheng Mingyue was still very excited, as if she had already found the jade pendant.
Tian Tian looked even more miserable.
"Do you still remember what the little boy and girl looked like? Do you know where they live?" Zheng Mingyue asked.
Tian Tian shook her head, "I don't know. You know, my family is from the countryside and I'm not very familiar with the county town. How can I know where they live?"
"Those two children are not tall, they are thin and small, and they look a little malnourished. The older one is about this tall, and the younger one is a head shorter than him." Tian Tian said, indicating two heights with her hands.
"I also met them on the street when I was coming back. I don't know exactly where they live. You are very familiar with the county town, so you can go out and look for them on the street."
Zheng Mingyue was already very excited when she got the news. She nodded and said, "Thank you. If I really find my things, I will definitely thank you very much!"
"It's okay! It's okay!" Tian Tian smiled. As long as you don't have a gloomy face in the dormitory every day, and can let us talk and laugh happily, and play around, that's enough.
After saying goodbye to Zheng Mingyue, Tian Tian took her luggage and went home.
It was already afternoon when she left, and no brigade would drive ox carts into the county town at this time, so Tian Tian could only walk home miserably.
The next day after Tian Tian returned home, Shen Lingling came to see Tian Tian early in the morning.
"Tiantian, I'm going to Beijing in a few days. Fang Siwen wants to take me to meet his parents. What should I do? I'm so nervous!" Shen Lingling's face was half excited and half nervous. She took Tiantian's hand and placed it on his chest. Sure enough, his heart was beating fast under Tiantian's hand.
"Are you going to meet your parents now?"
Shen Lingling nodded, "We plan to get married in August. Fang Siwen said that we must meet his parents before getting married, so he said we should ask the brigade for a few days off and take me to Beijing."
"What should I do? Tiantian, the farthest place I've been to since I was a child is our county. I've never been to Beijing, and I've never taken a train. This is too far, and I'm scared!" Shen Lingling's tone was full of panic.
Tian Tian could also understand that people who had never traveled far away would feel quite panicked in the game if they did, especially those who were younger like Shen Lingling.
But Shen Lingling really wanted to go, so she could only look for her little sister who was considered very knowledgeable in the city.
"What are you afraid of? Didn't Fang Siwen take you there? Don't think about anything on the way. Just do whatever Fang Siwen tells you to do. Just leave everything to Fang Siwen. He is an educated youth from Beijing and often goes home during the Chinese New Year. He must have taken a long train ride. Just listen to him." Tian Tian comforted.
"I know, but Tian Tian, I'm scared to go to Beijing alone. Can you go with me? And what if Wan Fang Siwen's parents don't like me? And if I go there and live in his house, and I'm not married to him, that's too unreasonable." Shen Lingling was panicking.
She had been flustered since she heard that Fang Siwen was going to take him home. She felt a little happy and a little nervous.
Firstly, she was going to a place she had never been to before, taking a very long train ride, and meeting a very unfamiliar family, so she was nervous.
But this time we are going to Beijing again. Who doesn’t want to go to Beijing nowadays? Who doesn’t want to go to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony? This is the dream of people of this generation, and it is also the place they have longed for all their lives.
So Shen Lingling was very conflicted. When she told her grandmother and her mother about this, she originally wanted her mother to calm her down. However, she did not expect that when they heard that Fang Siwen was going to take her to Beijing, they both agreed that Shen Lingling should go to Beijing with Fang Siwen.
