After receiving the notice, everyone started packing their luggage. Since they had been in Zhengjiatun for nearly three years, they still had a lot of things, and it took a long time to pack them up. They had to find a way to pack up the usable things and send them to Beijing, and those that could not be taken away had to be sold to the villagers.
Everything else was fine for Sun Yuqi, as she could secretly put it in the space and take it back, but the bicycle was difficult to deal with. If she took it back, it would be difficult to use it later, and sending it back didn't seem realistic either. After thinking about it, Sun Yuqi went to the captain's house.
"Is Auntie home?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Aunt Mei's loud voice coming from the house.
"Hey, here I come, wait!"
Then I heard the sound of a door opening, followed by footsteps.
Aunt Mei opened the door and found that it was Sun Yuqi, and immediately smiled.
"Hey, Sun Zhiqing, what are you doing...?"
Sun Yuqi walked into the yard through the door opened by Aunt Mei. Without planning to go into the house, she spoke directly.
"Auntie, this is what's going on. You know we're leaving soon, so everything else is fine. But I can't take my bike with me, so I was thinking about selling it. You know I rarely use it, so I thought I'd ask you, uncle, if you could find someone else to buy it with?"
Aunt Mei was delighted when she heard this and said with a smile.
"Sun Zhiqing, I won't say anything else. Your bicycle is really nice. My family on my mother's side has always wanted to buy a bicycle. As you know, they haven't been able to get the tickets, so they haven't been able to buy one. If you want to sell it, I'll go over and ask for you."
"Thank you, Auntie. It's relatively cheap, so I'll wait for your news."
After finishing her business, Sun Yuqi went back directly. There were still many things in the house that needed to be dealt with. Although she had no shortage of things in her small second floor in Beijing, these were all things she was used to using, and she felt reluctant to throw them away all of a sudden.
Lin Muren couldn't help laughing when he saw Sun Yuqi.
"Do you really need to? Besides, if you really can't bear to part with them, then we can just take them back. At worst, we can deal with them in Beijing."
Sun Yuqi curled her lips.
"Then I'm really looking for trouble. Bringing these things back is just asking for trouble, isn't it?"
After working hard for ten days, Sun Yuqi and his team finally dealt with everything here. They sold the bicycle to Aunt Mei's brother for 150 yuan. Although it was a bit cheap, Sun Yuqi really didn't care about it.
A few days ago, Chen Hao went to see Director Chen with a letter of introduction written by the team leader and asked him to help buy three sleeper tickets to Beijing.
On January 16, 1978, Sun Yuqi, Lin Muren and Chen Hao left Zhengjiatun, where they had stayed for more than two years, and went to Beijing.
I don’t know if I will come here again in my lifetime after leaving this time. Although life here is a bit tiring, it is also quiet. I think the past two years will become a place that several of us will never forget.
The group of three first arrived at the commune, and then Director Chen drove them to the train station. The train boarding time was ten o'clock in the morning, and they arrived at the train station at nine o'clock.
"When you get back, remember to call me or send me a telegram to let me know so I don't worry."
Chen Hao smiled and nodded. "Uncle, when will you be transferred back to Beijing?"
Director Chen shook his head.
"According to your grandfather's arrangement, I don't think I'll move within three years. We'll talk about the future later!"
Seeing the train coming into the station, Director Chen asked the three of them to get on board quickly.
Because this county train station is a small station, the train does not stay for long after entering the station. So after entering the station, the three did not dare to stay and quickly took their tickets and got on the train.
Only after finding her own berth in the carriage and putting her luggage away did Sun Yuqi finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sun Yuqi, how about you sleep in the middle bunk and I'll take the upper bunk?"
Chen Hao said when he saw Sun Yuqi preparing to climb onto the upper bunk.
Sun Yuqi shook her head after hearing this.
"It's okay. It's the same as sleeping on the upper bunk. There's no difference. The worst that can happen is that you'll just have to sleep less."
Seeing that Sun Yuqi didn't seem to be in trouble, Chen Hao didn't say anything more. Since it was not yet noon, the three of them planned to lie down on the bed for a while before having lunch.
It was not until noon that Sun Yuqi got down from the upper bunk and sat directly next to Lin Muren (Lin Muren slept on the lower bunk), and took out the prepared food from under the bunk.
There were six berths in their current block. Sun Yuqi slept on the top berth, Chen Hao on the middle berth, and Lin Muran on the bottom berth. The three berths opposite were currently empty.
You have to know that in this era, not everyone can sleep in the sleeper berths on the train. Most people still choose to take hard seats because the sleeper berth tickets are a bit expensive, and most people would rather suffer a little more than spend more money.
Lin Muren woke up when Sun Yuqi came down and sat up.
"Oh, it seems I am really tired. I actually fell asleep."
"Yuqi, let's go wash up."
After saying that, he pulled Sun Yuqi to the bathroom at the connection between the train carriages.
When the two were walking back after washing up, Sun Yuqi almost bumped into a man without paying attention. Fortunately, she was a martial artist and had quick reactions, so she dodged by leaning sideways.
Sun Yuqi didn't take it seriously. On the train, the corridors were narrow and this situation was not uncommon, so she didn't care.
They just passed by the man, and when they returned to their seats, they saw that Chen Hao had already taken out the food and placed it on the small table.
"Oh, I'm hungry. Yuqi, let's eat something quickly. Fortunately, we have prepared a lot of food."
As he spoke, Lin Muren picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and then started eating it with the salted duck eggs that Chen Hao took out.
Sun Yuqi was also eating steamed buns with salted duck eggs. These salted duck eggs were bought by Aunt Mei from a family in the neighboring village. Because there was a small pond in the neighboring village, every family in that village raised two or three ducks. I heard that Aunt Mei went to more than ten families to buy more than twenty salted duck eggs.
"Ugh, so salty!"
Chen Hao's voice rang out, and Sun Yuqi and Lin Muren looked over and saw the salted duck egg in Chen Hao's hand. They saw that oil had come out of the yolk of the salted duck egg, which looked greasy and very pleasing.
"What's wrong? Is it that salty?"
Looking at Lin Muran who had a question mark on his face.
"This salted duck egg I'm eating must have been pickled for a long time, so it's particularly salty, but it's really fragrant. How about you try it?"
Lin Muren curled his lips.
"I don't want to eat it. You've already eaten it, and you're giving it to me. I don't want it!"
Sun Yuqi smiled at Chen Hao and Lin Muran, then lowered her head to eat her steamed buns and salted duck eggs.
