Chapter 95 We Are Your Only Best Friends
He couldn't tell what he was feeling.
"What's wrong? You look so strange?"
Xiao Jinchuan put the letter on the table and motioned for Song Yunqing to take a look.
She opened it carefully and was a little surprised when she saw what was inside.
"What do you mean, asking you to go back now? We've only been here for half a year."
"I don't know either. According to the previous plan, I should be here for at least three years."
Song Yunqing frowned: "The letter said that we would set off at the beginning of the month. Now it's only a few days away. What should we do on the island? Should we send another person over?"
Xiao Jinchuan shook his head. "I don't know either. The letter didn't mention it. I think they might promote someone to take over. If they keep transferring from other places like me, it won't be stable."
"That makes sense. Anyway, from what I've seen of those people in the office, no matter who gets promoted, they're all good. At least they're really doing practical things for the people."
Xiao Jinchuan also thought so. He had the same idea as Song Yunqing. The island was now basically on the right track and there was no need for any major changes. As long as someone provided the correct guidance, everything would be fine.
"Pack your things first, we'll leave in two days."
Song Yunqing responded in a low voice. To be honest, she really didn't want to leave. She had many friends here and her own home.
Even the house that had been drawn up was not built in time.
Seeing what she was thinking, Xiao Jinchuan sighed silently and placed his big hand on her head.
"Don't be sad. If you want to come back in the future, I'll accompany you. You followed me...you really have been wronged."
Not only is the journey bumpy, but you also have to separate from your good friends that you finally found.
"I'm not sad, I just feel a little reluctant."
News spread quickly, and somehow everyone knew they were leaving.
Xu Xiujuan and A Yue rushed to her house and found Ge Jinglan was there too.
"Our house is really lively today, with guests coming one after another."
Song Yunqing joked.
"You're still laughing, why are you leaving so suddenly? Didn't you just get here? Captain Wang has been here for years, why are you leaving so soon?"
Xu Xiujuan spoke like a machine gun, rattling, not giving Song Yunqing a chance to speak.
A Yue stared at her with tears in her eyes and said nothing, which made Song Yunqing's heart soften.
"Don't be like this. I can't bear to leave you guys in the first place. If you continue like this, I really don't want to leave."
"Is it really necessary to not leave? Why did the news come so suddenly? I haven't heard any rumors before. It can't be that you did something wrong and this is a punishment, right?"
Song Yunqing held Ge Jinglan's hand and patted it soothingly: "Don't think too much, it can't be a punishment. Even if Xiao Jinchuan has no merits on the island, he has worked hard, not to mention his merits."
She didn't say it clearly, but she knew in her heart that she would probably be promoted.
The plot has been changed, but the general direction will not change, because the island's infrastructure and various policies will definitely develop in a positive direction.
But according to the book, it will take more than two years to be promoted.
"Even though I say that, my heart is still in turmoil. I always feel at ease when you are around."
"Yes, yes, Sister Jinglan is right. I don't want you to leave."
Xu Xiujuan is usually very carefree, but at this moment she couldn't say a word.
Song Yunqing didn't like this heavy atmosphere and found a topic to talk about. "By the way, I heard that there won't be any leaders sent over this time. Maybe they will choose between your Lao Chen and Zhao Hu. Lao Chen is very likely to be the one."
When the organization promotes these people, on the one hand, it takes into account their work ability, and on the other hand, it takes into account their family stability and personal character.
Zhao Hu was impulsive and alone, and in these two aspects he was already behind Chen Zhicheng.
Chen Zhicheng has a happy family, a steady personality, and is methodical in his work. With him on the island, there is no need to worry about any problems.
"I don't care. No matter who it is, they will all contribute wholeheartedly to the development of the island."
"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something."
Song Yunqing fiddled in the cabinet for a long time and brought out a basket of soap.
"These were originally intended as graduation gifts for the literacy class, but so many things happened later that I forgot about them. You guys take these and I'll share them among you when the time comes."
"I've made quite a bit. The ones from the literacy classes are still okay. You can keep the extra ones for yourself."
"And these sauces and pickles, I can't take them away...just share them among you, don't waste them."
Song Yunqing was thinking about what else he could explain.
"Alright, alright, we all know what's going on. Just pack up what you need and take it away. We'll take care of the rest."
"I only have one request."
Ge Jinglan started to cry as she spoke.
"We are your only best friends."
Song Yunqing was amused and touched her face gently: "I don't have any friends outside."
This is both funny and sad.
"By the way, I heard Yao Xinjie is now following Jiang Lei to scramble for goods?"
"Yes, I asked him to find a legitimate job. He didn't like those jobs. Later he went to Jiang Lei and told him about it himself."
"That's fine too. Jiang Lei is a good man. As long as he's willing to work hard, at least he can support the family."
Xu Xiujuan was full of emotion when she talked about this. Since she met Song Yunqing, their family life has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Song Yunqing did not show up to distribute the soap, and the entire process was handled by the two of them. But despite this, many people still came to give them gifts.
Or they would just quietly put it at the door and leave, which made Song Yunqing laugh.
"It's really a changing world. When I came here, I was scolded by everyone, but when I left, I enjoyed myself."
"If you treat them well, they will treat you well too."
Xiao Jinchuan packed all the clothes into the box.
"We're leaving tomorrow. If you want to come later, wait until I'm on vacation and then I'll come back with you."
"Of course."
What's more, with transportation being so developed in the future, it might be possible to go back and forth on the same day.
She was alone to begin with and was used to being alone. This level of separation was no different from a drizzle to her.
When we left the next day, quite a few people came.
Song Yunqing took a quick look.
Chen Zhicheng, Ge Jinglan, Yao Xinjie, Xu Xiujuan, A Yue, Zhao Hu, Sun Jianguo...
Basically everyone I have met or talked to is here.
There are also some people I haven't met much, but their faces are familiar.
She stood on the deck and waved at them, while Xiao Jinchuan watched them silently.
"I'll bring you some good stuff from Jing City next time I come back!"
Ge Jinglan couldn't hold back her tears and leaned into Chen Zhicheng's arms.
Song Yunqing also felt very uncomfortable. She thought she was used to loneliness, but at this moment, it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, she has the people she loves accompanying her on this journey.
Having just experienced a separation, the two were not in a very good mood. They waited until they arrived in Beijing and returned to the compound where they originally lived.
Song Yunqing felt dazed.
The big tree at the gate of the yard was lush and green when I left, but now it has almost lost all its leaves and is bare.
Upon learning of their return, Cao Sixing changed his shift and waited at the dock. The first thing Xiao Jinchuan did after returning was to report, so he could only entrust Song Yunqing to Cao Sixing.
Please ask him to help Song Yunqing carry the things back.
Looking at the deserted courtyard, Song Yunqing wiped the dust off the door, opened the door, and saw familiar furnishings inside.
But because no one has lived there for a long time, it seems particularly cold and deserted.
"Sister-in-law, where is this box?"
"Just leave it there. I'll need to pack up later."
If we talk about Xiao Jinchuan's return, the person who should be happiest is Cao Sixing.
Although he is not very old, he shows two sharp fangs when he smiles.
"I had originally said that I would go to the island to see you after a few days of vacation, but I didn't expect you to come back first."
Song Yunqing sat on the edge of the bed to rest. He hadn't vomited so much on the boat in the past two days, but he still felt dizzy after landing.
"From what you said, it seems that we are not very welcome?"
“No, no!”
Cao Sixing was so anxious that his hands left afterimages.
Song Yunqing burst out laughing.
"I'm just kidding. Xiao Jinchuan misses you too. He often says that having you by his side makes things much easier."
Cao Sixing's eyes lit up: "Really? Did Deputy Captain Xiao really say that?"
"Really? How could I lie to you?"
When he first arrived on the island, he did often mutter that when he was unfamiliar with the people around him or when he was not using something convenient, he would say, "It would be great if Cao Sixing was here."
Seeing this silly boy so happy, Song Yunqing took out some smoked fish from the box and put them in his hands.
"Sister-in-law, I can't take this. You guys keep it for yourself."
"Just take it. This fish was caught by your Deputy Captain Xiao himself, and I made the sauce. It's not a large quantity, so I brought it to you."
Upon hearing this, Cao Sixing did not refuse and held the baby in his arms through the oilcloth bag.
Who can have a better relationship with Deputy Captain Xiao than him?
It was almost dark when Xiao Jinchuan came back and brought good news.
"Are you the head of the group now?"
Song Yunqing was a little surprised. Although there was not much difference between the deputy captain and the captain, many people were stuck with the title of "deputy" for their entire lives.
Xiao Jinchuan has reached such a status at such a young age, and his future is promising.
"So, to celebrate today, we're going out to eat."
"Just us?"
"Yeah, just you and me. Us."
Song Yunqing grinned: "Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes."
She used to be afraid to wear brightly colored clothes on the island, but now in Beijing, she can wear whatever she wants.
After changing clothes, I put on some light makeup to cover up the fatigue from running around for the past two days.
The two of them came to the largest restaurant in Beijing. Looking at the luxurious decoration and furnishings, Song Yunqing was secretly amazed.
The decoration is almost the same as it is now.
Sitting in the private room, she was even more shocked when she saw the prices on the menu.
"Xiao Jinchuan, are you sure you want to treat me to a meal here?"
