Chapter 172 Going to see Grandpa



At this moment, Qiao Yu was already sitting on the train, chatting with the female comrades who were traveling with him.

She chats during the day and sleeps at night. After a train ride that lasts for several days and nights, she never feels tired at all. Even though the people she chats with have changed many times, it does not affect her bragging and gossiping.

When she arrived at the station, she was still not satisfied. Except for the smell on her body, everything else was fine.

Zhang Zhan came to pick her up and waved his hand at her, "Little sister! Here!"

Qiao Yu approached, took a look at his simple attire, and smiled, "You are quite adaptable when in Rome."

"Okay, stop talking. Let's go to the county seat to register and stay at a hotel."

Qiao Yu: "Why, can't you live there?"

"Me? I just transferred here and haven't gotten housing approval yet. I'm sharing a dormitory with others now."

Qiao Yu sighed, "What a talent! The head of a factory actually lives with others."

Zhang Zhan originally wanted to go into politics, but other positions were too far away from the party school where his grandfather worked, so he had to follow the principle of proximity and serve as the head of a factory.

The future? Hard to say.

After listening to him talk about the recent situation, Qiao Yu said, "You are the factory director now, just know what's going on in your mind."

Zhang Zhan touched his head and said, "You are really awesome, little sister. You have fought for the right to visit Grandpa once a year. By the way, how often do you visit Grandpa? Can you come a few days later?"

"What's up? Are you okay?"

"It's cold here in the winter, so I want you to bring in a quilt of cotton. It's easy to be blocked when sending a package. I've been there before... I didn't even get through the gate, and my stuff was blocked."

"OK."

Qiao Yu also brought some good things, which were easy to hide and not much but enough to fill his stomach.

It was compressed cookies and military cans.

Compressed cookies are copied in space. Military canned food can also be copied, but the packaging cannot be copied. If the canned meat is taken out alone... it will not last long. So she gave up the canned food.

The compressed cookies were packed in malted milk bottles. I got three large bottles in total. If you eat them sparingly, they will last you several months.

Arrived at the hotel, gave the introduction letter and watched it for a while before paying to check in.

Zhang Zhan walked her to the door before asking, "What do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll bring it to you."

"Meat buns, pickled vegetables, and corn porridge."

"Okay. Go to bed early. I'll take you around tomorrow."

"Okay, take care, big brother."

After Zhang Zhan left, Qiao Yu began to think about his grandfather's affairs.

The old man was in very good health when he was in the capital, and his hidden illness had long been cured, so I haven't seen him for more than half a year. Unless his diet is not up to standard, there will be no other problems.

I have to ask what the party school is like, and then use my brain to help my father live a better life...

As I thought about this, I closed my eyes.

A dreamless night.

She was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Little sister? Little sister!"

It was Zhang Zhan's voice.

She dressed neatly, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and opened the door.

The hotel conditions were average. To get hot water, one had to go to the public area on the first floor. Zhang Zhan picked up the kettle and said, "Wake up first. I'll get you some hot water."

"Yeah, okay."

She sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while, and only when she saw Zhang Zhan coming back did her eyes become clearer.

"Come and wash up."

Qiao Yu washed his face with warm water before brushing his teeth. He heard Zhang Zhan say, "There's nothing to see in this county town. If you really want to go, I'll take you to the mall..."

Qiao Yu spat out the mouthwash and said, "Come on, save the money yourself. I will need the money next year when I visit Grandpa. Do you have to be so positive towards me? I have everything I need.

I still think it's too much trouble. Do you know how far the train ride is to come to your place? I just want to travel light. "

"Hey, little girl, you are still so stubborn."

Qiao Yu rolled his eyes, "It's only been a short time since we last met, can I still change my character?"

After the meal, the brother and sister walked around the county town, and then Zhang Zhan talked about going to his grandfather's place.

"Luckily you didn't come in the dead of winter. There is no traffic between here and there. I can only help you get a bullock cart. It costs one dollar for a round trip. Only then will they be willing to go there."

"One dollar? That expensive?"

"Yes, the road there is long and remote, there is no village in front and no shop behind, it takes several hours to get there. And if they pick you up there, they have to be responsible for bringing you back...

You won't be able to do that next year. Everything in Beijing has been cleared out. I've changed my bicycle ticket, but the county is short of supplies, and the supply and marketing cooperative hasn't introduced bicycles yet. When they do, you can just ride your bicycle there next year."

Qiao Yu nodded.

Zhang Zhan was a new official, and he had a lot of things to do, so he had no time to take care of Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu had been wandering around these days, and at the same time, the factory knew that the director had a beautiful sister, so many people wanted to ask the director to help them.

In the midst of his busy schedule, he had to reject all these young sisters' advances. After rejecting too many of them, he got angry: "Get lost! My sister has given birth to a baby! Even if she didn't, she wouldn't look down on you! Get lost!"

He kicked everyone, just like when he was in the army, beating up anyone he didn't like.

At first, Qiao Yu was approached by strange gay men and asked questions by strange ladies. Later, because of Zhang Zhan, a good brother, all the bad luck disappeared without a trace.

A few days later, Qiao Yu took a bullock cart to the party school.

The exact direction to go.

How remote is it? The narrow path is overgrown with weeds and doesn't look like a place that people often pass by.

If there weren't a lot of huge rocks in her space, and if she encountered scammers and kidnappers, and there was no surveillance and the place was remote, it would be the bad guys who were unlucky. She wouldn't be so calm now, and she wouldn't be chatting with the old man who was herding cattle.

The other party didn't say anything at first.

It was not until Qiao Yu grabbed a handful of fruit candies that the other party responded to her doubts: "That party school only sends out a bus once a year, and the purchases are for the year. It's not surprising that weeds grow on the road. But you are quite observant."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "It's a long and boring journey. By the way, old man, how do you know all this?"

"One of my relatives works in the purchasing department and has contact with people from the Party School. In recent years, many outsiders have come to the Party School, but you are the first one who is qualified to visit."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "This is just a chance encounter, it's just a coincidence."

The old man didn't know what was going on in the Party School, but he knew the county town very well. Although it was of no use to him, Qiao Yu still chatted with him for a few more words.

After all, it’s a long road.

Party school.

The old man received a spiritual baptism, and the spirit he had forced himself to maintain not long ago became a little sluggish. After eating a bowl of water, he returned to the dormitory and repeatedly read the letter that Qiao Yu wrote to her.

The letter paper was a little too soft, softer than toilet paper, and if it passed through a few more hands, it might break into pieces...

The old man sighed, wondering when his granddaughter would write him another letter, and then he heard the person in charge shout, "Zhang Hu! Your granddaughter Qiao Yu is here to see you!"

The old man suspected that he was hallucinating.

"Didn't you hear? Zhang Hu!!"

The old man sat up suddenly and looked out the door in disbelief.

His granddaughter came to see him? !
