The happy time passed quickly, and by the seventh day of the New Year, the entire Spring Festival was over.
On the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai went to the commune to pick up a package containing train tickets sent by Gu's father.
Knowing that Gu Ranran and the others were going to Beijing, Gu's father specially bought sleeper tickets for them.
Gu's father knew that sleeper tickets were hard to buy, so he started buying them after he learned that they had received their admission letters.
Gu's father also contacted Mu's father and Gu Ziqiang, and finally raised 11 sleeper tickets.
Lu Jiang and Lu Hai set off for the commune, and the others began to pack up their things at home.
Because they only had one day to pack, the train was scheduled to depart at nine o'clock on the ninth day of the first lunar month.
Since there were a lot of things, Zhang Tiantian suggested: "Let's go collect our own things first, take what we think is necessary, and try to take as little as possible. We can buy the rest in Beijing."
Zhang's mother disagreed with Zhang Tiantian's statement: "Tiantian, we can still take it with us. Let's take it all. Going to Beijing to buy things will cost money. We should save as much as possible."
Father Zhang also said, "That's right, Tiantian, you are going to study, not to work. You won't get paid, so we should be frugal. We should take everything we can use with us and absolutely not waste it."
Zhang Tiantian couldn't help complaining: "Hey, it's hard to carry too many things. It's hard to carry all the big and small bags. It's even harder to change trains in Beijing. We should travel light. Comfort is the most important thing.
Don't worry about money. We have saved a lot over the years, and we even have subsidies for college education.
Besides, isn’t Mom planning to open a restaurant with Aunt Gu? Ranran and I are going to open a clothing store together. When we make money, we’ll have money to spend instead of just living off our savings.”
Seeing that Zhang's mother and father still disagreed, Gu Ranran quickly said, "Tiantian, let's take everything we want. It would be a pity to throw away things we are used to, and it would not be good to waste them.
We take the train or bullock cart from here, which makes it convenient to carry things. When we get to the train station, my dad and my brother will drive to pick us up. With two cars, we can easily put down our belongings."
Gu Zili also interrupted: "Sister Tiantian, don't worry about carrying things. I and my two brothers-in-law are here. We can carry a lot of things, so you don't need to do anything."
Lu Zimo also said: "Mom, I can carry my own things, I don't need your help.
Lu Zixuan, Lu Zihao and Lu Zijie also stood up and said that they could bring their own things.
Zhang Tiantian said helplessly: "Okay, then we will pack our own things and take away whatever we want. It seems that we are not afraid of carrying things. There are many of us."
Gu Ranran agreed and said, "Yes, Tiantian, don't worry, there are 11 of us, don't worry, just carry your own things, and leave the things you can't carry to Lu Jiang and Lu Hai.
We can take an oxcart to the train station. When we get to the capital, my father and brother will drive to the train station to pick us up. It won’t be too far to carry things, so we won’t get tired.”
Zhang Tiantian happily replied: "Ranran, this is the best. I hate carrying a lot of things when I go out. It always feels inconvenient. Especially when I think of the time when you came here as an educated youth and I went to the train station to pick you up, I get scared.
Ranran, do you remember? You were squeezed and pushed out, and you almost couldn't stand. "
"Hahaha, Tiantian, how could you not remember? From the moment I got off the train, I was squeezed down and was directly pushed out in the crowd. I didn't know where I was until I was pushed out and then I realized I got off the train.
Oh, I was squeezed so hard that my braids came undone, and I was scared for a long time. I think it will be crowded again when I go back this time."
"That's right. Many people went back to their hometowns for the New Year, and after the New Year is over, they will return to the capital. Some of them are educated youth, and some of us went to college early. It will definitely be even more crowded. I'm scared just thinking about it."
