Yun Xiulan hugged Ning Xiyue, wiped her tears, and forcefully stuffed the wallet into her hands. She said with a fierce face, "Take it. It's your money, I don't care. These notes are what Mom should give you. Just take them."
"Thank you, Mom."
Ning Xiyue sniffed, with a faint smile on her face, she put the wallet away and said no more. She would send more things back in the future and show more respect to the two elders. This pair of parents would be her parents.
After Ning Xiyue took the money, Yun Xiulan smiled and continued to chatter.
"Don't date anyone after you go to the countryside. Your parents will find a chance to arrange for you to return to the city. Don't open up to anyone easily either. Be careful about everything. Don't be sold like before and then help count the money."
"Show off your aggressive nature from childhood. Kind people are often bullied. If you act like someone you're not to be trifled with right from the start, others won't bully you easily. Don't worry about what others say. Just live a good life. If things really don't work out, ask your second brother to solve the problem. My dear, your greatest wish is for you to be safe and sound..."
At the end, both mother and daughter burst into tears and hugged each other.
Ning Xiyue wiped her tears and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, don't worry, I will be fine. I will write back when I am settled there. You and Dad should also take care of yourselves. Eat when you need to. Don't think of saving it for us. I won't starve or be bullied in the countryside. Your daughter is smart."
"Yeah." Yun Xiulan knew her daughter was smart, but she was still worried. "I think the brick you used to hit Zhang Yuan last time is very suitable for you. Remember to take it with you for self-defense when you leave."
"Okay." Ning Xiyue smiled and replied. She might be the only one whose family asked her to bring bricks when she went to the countryside.
Yun Xiulan saw her old man wandering around the door for a few times, so she stopped talking and left some time for the child's father.
"Okay, you clean up first, Mom is going to go out first."
As soon as Yun Xiulan left, Ning Hai came in, took out a box from his pocket, looked towards the door, and then half-closed the door. He ran to Ning Xiyue like a thief and stuffed the box into her arms, and whispered:
"My daughter, put the box away quickly and don't let your mother see it. Inside is the thirty yuan of private money that Dad secretly saved. You can use it. There is also a watch that Dad exchanged at the factory. It's a newly produced Plum Blossom watch. It's convenient for you to tell time when you go to the countryside with it."
"Okay, Dad's leaving." Ning Hai handed the things over and said that, then ran out without waiting for Ning Xiyue's reaction. When he reached the door, he poked his head in and specifically reminded her, "Don't let your mother know about the money, so that Dad can continue to save some for you."
"Okay." Ning Xiyue smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad. When I go to the countryside to earn work points, I will definitely give you some pocket money. Don't tell Mom."
Ning Hai knew the hardships of working in the countryside, and he was lucky to have enough to eat. However, his daughter's kindness still made him very happy. "Then Dad will wait for my daughter to give me some pocket money."
"Um."
Ning Hai left with a smile on his face. Ning Xiyue could vaguely hear Yun Xiulan asking curiously in the living room why he was so happy, but Ning Hai just laughed it off.
Ning Xiyue took out the watch and tried it on. It was small and exquisite, and fit perfectly on her wrist. She could tell at a glance that it was specially chosen for her by Ning's father, who even adjusted the strap.
Seeing the stacks of banknotes at the bottom of the box, the thirty yuan was all saved up by one cent at a time. She didn't know how long Ning's father had saved it, but now he gave it all to her. Ning Xiyue's eyes were filled with mist, and she was really moved by Ning's father.
If she is unfilial to her parents in the future, she will be condemned by heaven and struck by lightning.
Ning Xiyue took off the watch and put it into the system backpack together with other valuables. She only took out half of the money given by Ning's father and left it outside for emergency use.
After packing up almost everything, Ning Xiyue thought that the college entrance examination would be resumed in two years. Books would be hard to buy then, so she had to bring all her high school textbooks with her. She could also review them from time to time when she had free time.
Thinking of this, Ning Xiyue hurriedly put all of the original owner's high school textbooks and notes into the system backpack. After thinking for a while, she put the junior high school ones in as well before she lay down on the bed and started to sleep with peace of mind.
At 4:30 the next morning, Ning Xiyue was pulled out of bed by Yun Xiulan and cleaned up.
Then the whole family rushed out carrying large and small bags to send Ning Xiyue to the city train station.
There were many educated youth who had also gone to the countryside at the train station, bidding farewell to their families.
The same was true for Ning Xiyue. It was mainly Yun Xiulan who talked and Ning Xiyue who listened.
Yun Xiulan took off the small cloth bag and military water bottle hanging on her body and hung them on Ning Xiyue.
"Here are some dry food and ten hard-boiled eggs. Eat them if you get hungry on the bus. There's sugar water in the kettle and a small bag of sugar in the bag. It's hot in the summer, so you should drink plenty of water. But keep away from people when you put the sugar in."
"Yeah." Ning Xiyue listened to Yun Xiulan's words obediently.
"When you get there, remember to write a letter home. Also, write a letter to your eldest brother, giving him your full address so he can mail things. Also, thank your brother's comrade-in-arms. He was the one who took you to the hospital when you got your head injured. You should thank him sincerely."
"good."
Ning Hai, who had been paying attention to the train's movements, shouted, "Yueyue, the train is coming, pick up your things."
After the train stopped, Ning Xiyue packed up all her things, carrying a quilt on her back, and boarded the train: "Mom and Dad, I'm leaving first. Take care of yourselves. I'll take a leave and go home during the New Year."
