Chapter 272
At that time, trains were the only means of transportation and tickets were not easy to buy. Song Jingzhou didn't want Su Qingci to suffer too much on the road, so he delayed for a day and spent a lot of money to get two soft sleeper tickets from Xingcheng to Kyoto.
The journey back took more than a day or two on the train. It was okay for him, but how could that delicate little girl bear it?
I had just paid a year's rent for the house at the beginning of this year, and there were nearly eight months left, so I gave it to Liu Siqing and Feng Jianjun for free.
The two of them first paid the deposit to Su Qingci and left the note with them. They would then ask the landlord to refund it later.
Song Jingzhou's bicycle was bought by Xiao Yuehua and his wife with the money they raised. Su Qingci's bicycle was taken away by her after she drove it out for a while. When she came back, she said that she had disposed of it, but in fact she had taken it to the farm.
It was extremely troublesome to buy a bicycle at this time. Not only was it often out of stock, but she also worried that she wouldn't be able to buy one when she needed it.
While Song Jingzhou was out getting tickets, Su Qingci seized the opportunity to collect most of the inconspicuous items in the rented house and put them into the farm. She also packed a bag and pretended to take it to the post office to send it back to Kyoto.
When Song Jingzhou came back, he found that a lot of things were missing and asked about it. Su Qingci just said that she had just packed them up and sent them from the post office, so he didn't ask any more questions.
The two of them worked very hard, and by the afternoon of the third day, they had basically finished dealing with everything.
Su Qingci thought about it carefully and found that there was nothing she had missed. Even the pot in the educated youth center was given to her by Li Li and the other two at the end of last year.
The train ticket is for the county town at 10 pm and does not go directly to Kyoto.
The specific route is to first go from Taohua Town to the county seat and take a train to the provincial capital Xingcheng, and then transfer from Xingcheng to a long-distance train to Kyoto.
That morning, Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou bought some vegetables and planned to treat everyone to a farewell dinner at noon.
Xiao Yuehua came early holding Datou, looking unhappy.
"Qingci, you're really not coming back?"
"How about you take a long vacation first, just in case you want to come back later?"
"If I really go back, then I won't be able to see you anymore, right?"
"You said you wanted to be my son Datou's godmother, and now you're leaving?"
"It's so nice here, why do you have to go back? Is it really that good in the big city? I heard everything is in limited supply. It's not as convenient as our country!"
Su Qingci rarely argued with her, "Who said we won't see each other again in the future?"
"Maybe in a few years you'll all be able to come to Kyoto. Besides, we can still write letters."
"I'll leave you my address later. If you miss me, just write to me."
For lunch, Song Jingzhou and Su Qingci were not stingy and ordered four dishes and a soup, which were very filling. Of course, they were all made by Xiao Yuehua.
In addition to several people from the security team, Song Jingzhou also called Xiao Lian.
Logically, Chen Chuntao should also be invited, but Su Qingci now feels a little annoyed with her.
Although she was indeed good to me, she was too good to me.
Especially after she came to work in the town this year, she often hung around Su Qingci, taking every opportunity to sow discord between her and Song Jingzhou.
Some time ago, he was pestering her and wanted to move into their shared house to live with her, but they later had a lot of unpleasantness because of this.
After all, Su Qingci came from later generations, and I could guess some of her thoughts from her words and actions.
Although Chen Chuntao had never hurt her, and could even be said to have protected her to the utmost, she still felt very uncomfortable and wanted to stay as far away from her as possible.
Seeing that Su Qingci was resisting her, Chen Chuntao didn't dare to push her too hard. She hadn't appeared in front of Su Qingci for several days.
Xiao Lian might know that he is here, so everyone would feel a little restrained and unable to relax.
Using the excuse that he had official business, he finished his meal first and left, asking everyone to enjoy their meal while he asked someone to help watch over the security point.
Sure enough, as soon as he left, Liu Siqing started to act pretentiously after drinking two glasses of wine.
"Brother, come back more often when you have time."
He had a good relationship with Song Jingzhou since childhood. The two cousins got along better than his two biological brothers, and he was reluctant to see his cousin go.
Song Jingzhou looked at Liu Siqing's depressed expression, raised the wine pot and poured him a glass of wine.
"When you get married, please write to me in advance. If I can arrange to come, I will definitely come back for a drink."
"Your two pairs of brothers and sisters-in-law have their own thoughts. Don't be silly. You should also be more careful and be on guard against them."
"Especially your marriage, don't let them get involved. I heard that your eldest sister-in-law's daughter-in-law has been visiting your house frequently lately. Don't let anyone plot against you."
Speaking of this, Liu Siqing's face became even uglier. "My sister-in-law is pregnant again. She said she missed her family and asked her sister to come over to keep her company."
"I know what they're up to. They even knocked on my door in the middle of the night and told me there were mice in her room and asked me to help chase them away."
"I didn't even open the door. I was too lazy to answer her, so I just let her yell outside. Maybe she got bored and stopped yelling."
"Didn't you leave this key to me and Jianjun? Jianjun and I have discussed it and we'll move in tomorrow."
Xiao Yuehua nodded quickly. "It just so happens that I'm not out in the fields right now with the kids. I'll pack up and move in tomorrow so that Jianjun doesn't have to run back and forth all day."
"It's okay when the weather is good, but it's really hard when it rains in the cold winter. If you're not careful, you'll get sick."
Xiao Yuehua suggested, "Siqing, I think it has to be suitable. Our two families can really live in this house forever. The rent is not expensive anyway, and it is close to the security point."
"I'm not being nosy, I think you should be a little selfish. The litter at home isn't your responsibility. Whoever gave birth to it should raise it. Just give your parents a few dollars every month. As for who the captain wants to spend the money on, that's his business. Don't worry about anything else."
"I've seen a lot of cases of gratitude and resentment. Your job doesn't require any money or effort from your family, so it's reasonable for you to support your parents. Why should you hand it all over? Why are you responsible for raising my nephews and nieces and even my sister-in-law's pregnancy?"
"You're so open-hearted now, but be careful when you get married and have your own family and have to spend your own money. If you don't give them enough, they might not be grateful and think you owe them something."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang Dachui and Wang Guoqing quickly changed the subject.
"Sister Xiao, your cooking skills are really good. You can even catch up with the master chefs who prepare banquets."
"When you move to town, you will be responsible for cooking. We will pay you for food and vegetables every month, and we will just eat with you."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm too lazy to bother with the security point."
Xiao Yuehua's eyes lit up. Since they came to share the meal, she couldn't just work for nothing. The most basic thing for her was her own meal. Not to mention eating for free, at least she could get half full through her labor.
"That's great. I'm free and taking care of my eldest son. If you guys want to join me, I'll definitely put in some effort and make every meal different for you."
The group ate, drank and chatted until four o'clock in the afternoon, when Song Jingzhou looked at the watch on his wrist.
"Everyone, it's almost time. The last bus to the county town is at 4:40. Let's pack up."
"From now on, life is like an ocean. I wish everyone can have a sail and a shore!"
Feng Jianjun summoned his courage and said, "We also wish you both a bright future and a brilliant life."
