The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the flight attendants.
They rushed over, and after finding out what had happened, their attitude towards the two men was naturally unfriendly.
Xia Anyan even cooperated willingly, she's a good comrade. Besides, they bought seats, yet they still insisted on asking her to give up her seat, they're really shameless!
"Comrades, your tickets are standing tickets. If there are other seats available, you may go and sit down. However, if there are already seats available, please do not insist on sitting down."
The flight attendant smiled, but in her heart, she looked down on the two of them.
When the pregnant woman realized she couldn't gain any advantage, she would cover her belly and sit on the ground.
She had already witnessed it during her trip out; as long as she said her stomach hurt, those people would be afraid.
Thinking of this, she gave the man a wink, then plopped down on the ground and began to wail, "Ouch, my stomach, my stomach hurts!"
Xia Anyan watched all of this with a cold eye. When she saw the flight attendant's expression change, she waved and called the person over to her side.
After exchanging a few words, the flight attendant smiled and expressed her gratitude.
"Comrade, since you have a stomachache, you should lie down on the ground for a while. It's not advisable for you to move right now. When we get to the next station, we can contact the train police to take you to the clinic."
The pregnant woman clearly hadn't expected these people to pull such a stunt.
She looked at her husband in disbelief.
The man felt humiliated and walked toward the connecting area between the carriages with a dark face, not wanting to stay there any longer.
The pregnant woman didn't dare to delay and got up to follow.
After everyone left, the flight attendant approached Xia Anyan and thanked her, saying, "Comrade, thank you so much this time. Otherwise, we would have been in real trouble."
Xia Anyan smiled, exchanged a few words, and then went back to sleep.
The experience these past two days has been far more exciting than any of the years before.
Fortunately, Xia Anyan was not disturbed by anyone during the next two days of her journey.
Even so, her legs still trembled uncontrollably after she got off the train.
She simply squatted down in the rest area of the train station and stayed there for a while before leaving.
Since she had set off early, she had to go to the educated youth office first. When she asked for directions, the thick dialect brought her back to reality, and her soft, mumbled tone changed accordingly.
So when she went to the educated youth office, if she hadn't brought out her certificate to confirm that she was from Shanghai, people would probably have misunderstood.
"Comrade Xia, the brigade you're going to is the Sanlitun Victory Brigade. I've already spoken to the brigade commander there, and they should be here in about two hours. How about we find a guesthouse to stay in first?"
Xia Anyan thought for a moment and nodded.
While waiting, Xia Anyan went to her space and spent more than an hour tidying up.
Seeing that it was almost time, she went out.
In front of the educated youth office, an oxcart was parked, and on the back of the cart sat an old man smoking a pipe. Judging by his age, he was not young.
"Hello, sir, are you from the Sanlitun Victory Brigade?"
The old man opened his eyes, glanced at Xia Anyan from his university days, and his eyes lit up: "Oh, little girl, you must be one of the educated youth coming this time. I must say, city girls are really beautiful."
"Yes, that's me. Our captain has already gone inside to complete the handover. You should go in quickly, and once the handover is finished, we can leave."
After thanking her, Xia Anyan returned to the educated youth office.
She thought that the captain must be at least thirty or forty years old to have a firm foothold in the brigade, but who would have thought that the captain of the Victory Brigade was actually a young man in his early twenties.
The moment he saw Xia Anyan, his expression remained calm, without revealing any inappropriate emotions.
"Hello, I am Xia Anyan."
He replied casually, "Yes, my name is Zhou Chuan."
"Hello, Captain Zhou." Xia Anyan greeted him gently, without addressing him by his first name just because they were of similar age.
Zhou Chuan was somewhat surprised, but he didn't say anything. He took the form and set off with Xia Anyan on their way back to the brigade.
Zhou Chuan seemed to be a man of few words; the entire time, it was the old man driving the carriage who asked the questions, and Xia Anyan who answered.
Xia Anyan was somewhat surprised when she was told that she was the first educated youth from their brigade to go to the countryside.
"I remember there were two batches of educated youth assigned here last year and in the first half of this year, right? Shengli Brigade is a good place, how could there be no one here?"
The old man puffed on his pipe and chuckled, "Young lady, you said it yourself, our brigade is good, so do you think no one would volunteer? But our brigade doesn't just take anyone."
Xia Anyan was silent for a moment, unsure whether she should ask some questions.
Zhou Chuan glanced at her: "You don't need to overthink it. Now that the policy of sending people to the countryside has been relaxed, many people in the city will be assigned there. I can stop them once, but I can't stop them every time."
Xia Anyan nodded.
Understand!
Anyway, she won't be staying here for long. She won't cause trouble. If the captain is a good person, he probably won't make things difficult for her in the short term.
“You came in a hurry. The educated youth settlement in the brigade hasn’t been built yet. Come back with me tonight, and I’ll arrange a place for you to stay.”
While Xia Anyan was still in a daze, Zhou Chuan actually took the initiative to talk to her.
"Okay, thank you, Captain." After saying that, he rummaged through the bundle he had brought.
When she arrived, she had put her bundle in her spatial storage, and only took it out when she returned from outside.
There are quite a few things inside, food and clothes.
She pulled out two cookie boxes, which were made of metal and had lids.
"Captain, uncle, thank you for today. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it."
“My grandfather’s family is from the countryside. I used to work on the farm there when I was a child, but it’s been a few years and I may be a little rusty. If I do anything wrong, please don’t be offended, brigade leader.”
She's a good person at handling things.
Zhou Chuan thought to himself.
The old man who was driving the carriage chuckled and took the gift. Then he saw Zhou Chuan still hesitating, so he slapped him across the face: "You brat, didn't you see that girl handing you this? Her arm must be aching. If you don't want it, just say so. What are you standing there for?"
Useless thing!
That's such a mild temperament; no wonder he's already twenty-six and still hasn't found a wife.
Why!
He's really worried sick.
"Oh, Captain Zhou, just take it. I have more here." After saying that, she forcefully stuffed it into Zhou Chuan's hand and patted her bag with a smile.
Zhou Chuan was momentarily dazzled by her smile.
His ears turned red almost imperceptibly, and he looked into the distance.
However, he couldn't help but stroke the cookie box a few times.
