Chapter 122 Going on a Trip
Dai Qing looked at her beautiful face and turned her eyes away. It was too much for a girl in love to look at her.
Wang Juan didn't care either. She sat beside him, eating an apple and expressing her opinions from time to time.
Mao Yanyan looked at Dai Qing and said, "We are going to the capital, do we have to take a train? I heard that the train station is very chaotic and there are many pickpockets. If you are not careful, you will be robbed. I am a little scared."
Dai Qing knew that the public security of the railway station was indeed a problem that needed to be addressed. Moreover, the staff was complicated and it was common for things to be lost.
"It's better to be cautious, but it doesn't mean you can't go out." Dai Qing looked at her and spoke softly.
"I suggest you two stop fighting and come with me to see the grottoes. More people will make you braver. We can also buy group tickets at a much cheaper price."
Juanzi threw the apple core into the trash basket nearby and suggested with a smile.
"I don't want to hang out with you guys in pairs."
Dai Qing rejected her bluntly. She wanted to visit the capital even if she was alone.
"Okay, I won't force you. By the way, if you go out, you can leave your Xiao Hei at my house and let my grandma help take care of him. I'll leave my Xiao Hua in the care of grandma." Juanzi did not forget to instruct Dai Qing before leaving.
"good,"
"I also want to say hello to my aunt and come back to see you."
After the two left, Dai Qing cleaned up the house, watered the flowers and plants, and then started practicing martial arts in the yard. When it was getting dark, Mao Yanyan came over with a depressed look on her face.
"Xiao Qing, I'm sorry, I can't go. My aunt doesn't let me go too far, so she asked me to go with her to the suburbs to play for a while, and then wait for grandma to come over."
"It doesn't matter. Business is more important."
Dai Qing'an comforted her, saying that she actually preferred to be alone. Although having a companion was not lonely, it also required consideration for the other person's safety.
In addition to taking people out, you must also be able to escort them back safely.
"Then are you still going alone?" Mao Yanyan felt very guilty, but she had to obey.
"Go ahead. Once I'm familiar with the route, I'll take you there. The capital is a beautiful place with so many sights to see. You can't see them all in one trip. You'll have to make several trips."
Dai Qing pinched her face and soothed her. She was blessed to have elders to look after her, unlike her, who was alone and had no one to stop her wherever she went.
"Well, it's settled then. Next time, I will definitely go with you." Mao Yanyan's eyes lit up when she heard Dai Qing's suggestion. She played in the yard for a while before going home.
Dai Qing found a small backpack and packed a change of clothes and an umbrella. She also packed the two thousand yuan that Feng Yong had given her, which she had not yet saved and would use soon.
After getting ready, Dai Qing fed Xiao Hei and went to Aunt Wang's house with a bag of apples and oranges.
"Xiaoqing, why are you here now?"
Zhang Pi was washing clothes in the yard. When she saw Dai Qing, especially the bag of fruit she was holding, she smiled brightly. Whenever this girl came to her house, she had something to do with her mother-in-law.
"Aunt Zhang, I'm looking for Aunt Wang. I'm going out to play for a few days tomorrow, and I want to ask Aunt Wang to look after my dog for a few days. I'll bring the dog's food when I go, so that she can help me feed it and take it for a walk."
"This is easy to do. Juanzi has said that it doesn't matter if you raise one or two. They will behave better if they have company."
Zhang Pi agreed without thinking. After all, their house was also on the first floor. Although the small courtyard was shared, it was most convenient for her family to use it.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang. I will bring the dog to you tomorrow when I leave."
"Oh, it's OK. Auntie is always at home. I can bring her home anytime."
Zhang Pigeon watched her put the fruit on the table and quickly wiped his hands.
"It's just a small matter, there's no need to be polite. When you live alone, you have to be thrifty. Take this fruit back and keep it for yourself."
"No need, I have more at home. I sent this specially for Auntie." Dai Qing said politely and turned away.
Zhang Pigeon looked at the bag of fruits and the smile on his face kept coming. Look, this is how human interaction is done. It makes people feel comfortable just looking at it.
Her mother-in-law was right, Xiaoqing was a good and sensible child. Second Aunt's family was not worthy of her at all.
Dai Qing returned home, prepared everything, and went to bed early. The next morning, after washing up, Dai Qing changed into a floral shirt, paired with denim overalls and a pair of white sneakers.
She combed her hair into a herringbone braid and secured the ends with a rubber band, looking fresh and clean.
I went out to have breakfast first, then prepared six steamed buns, six eggs, and two apples for the dog, and took the dog to Aunt Wang's house.
"Xiao Qing is here." Zhang Pigeon took the rope and hung it on the fork of the pomegranate tree in the yard. He looked at what the dog was eating with his eyes wide open. "Is this for the dog?"
Oh my god, no wonder the dog's hair is so shiny and smooth, it turns out it eats so deliciously.
"Well, I asked specifically. Eating boiled eggs can make a dog's fur shiny, is good for health, and reduces the risk of illness." After thinking it over again and again, she did not dare to bring maltose, for fear of being criticized for not knowing how to live.
"Oh, you kid, you really don't know how to live. But this dog is lucky to meet such a generous master like you, who is willing to feed eggs to it."
Zhang Pigeon was surprised, but still couldn't help but complain. A few days ago, Juanzi fed the dog with egg cakes, and she complained a lot when she was caught. She didn't expect that there would be something more exaggerated.
Today's young people are really different from their generation. I guess their thinking has regressed.
Seeing Zhang Pi's distressed expression, Dai Qing explained softly.
"I have never fed my dog before, so I consulted a veterinarian. They said that if the dog eats better, it will get sick less often, and it is also a disguised way of saving money. I thought it made sense, so I added eggs to the dog's diet."
"I don't understand what you young people are thinking, but I won't interfere."
Although she felt sad, it was someone else's business after all, and she couldn't interfere, lest she make others feel uncomfortable.
This girl is a generous person. Just think about the bag of fruits she sent yesterday and you will know that she is not a stingy person.
"Since you're out, have fun. No need to rush back."
"Thank you for your help, Auntie. I'll hug the dog as soon as I get back."
After expressing her gratitude, Dai Qing turned around and went home.
I picked up the backpack I had prepared, picked up a few oranges and a water cup, and took the bus to the train station.
Nowadays, people don’t have a strong sense of travel. During holidays, they just hang out with friends or rest at home. Or the family goes to the suburbs for a walk. Not many people go on long trips.
The train station is a gathering place for the floating population, and there are always many people coming at any time. Dai Qing, carrying a small bag, went to the window to queue up to buy a ticket.
When it was her turn, the only tickets available were for the 8:30 p.m. express hard seat, which cost 49 yuan each. The journey took 11 hours and 30 minutes, and she arrived in the capital at 6:30 the next morning.
