Xu Manman travels a lot in Beijing now. When the weather got cold, she remembered the bicycle she used when she first signed in in the countryside. She didn't dare to take it out in the countryside, and now it finally came in handy.
In her previous life, her grandfather opened a small shop in the countryside that sold bicycles, so riding a bicycle was as easy as instinct for her.
I have to say that after using the tool, the daily check-in process has become convenient and quick.
Every day at noon, I change into different clothes and ride my bike for a ride around the city, which takes less than half an hour. Even in the cold winter, my face feels a little painful from the wind, and even if I wear a hat and a scarf, I still feel cold.
She now missed the windshield blanket she bought when she rode an electric bike in her previous life. Although it was not as warm as riding in a car, it could at least block most of the cold wind.
However, this thing will not appear in the next few decades, so it is more practical to wear more.
Later, the two siblings did not eat the prey that Chen Ming brought back. Instead, they smoked it and stored it.
The two of them had already informed the village chiefs on both sides in advance about asking for leave, and were just waiting to get the letter of introduction before leaving.
In the next half month, the two siblings moved around like squirrels. Xu Manman also asked Liu Jinfeng to exchange some vermicelli, dried vegetables, dried mushrooms, and eggs.
Xu Manman had pickled the eggs, so they were almost ready to eat when we were about to leave.
Liu Hua and others were also going back this year. Seeing what Xu Manman did, they followed suit. Xu Manman did not avoid them either. Everyone had enough money, so it was only natural to bring some local specialties home when they returned home.
I also helped them pickle the eggs. They are delicious whether you eat them yourself or take them home.

The day of departure finally arrived. Before dawn, there were noises in the yard.
There was a knock on the door, "Manman, are you ready?"
"Okay!" Xu Manman opened the door, and Chen Ming was already dressed and waiting at the door.
Xu Manman handed over a plate of buns. They had to travel today, so this was the most convenient thing to eat.
He packed the remaining buns into lunch boxes, filled the two kettles with boiling water, and turned off the stove.
After everything was packed up, Chen Ming put the packages and backpack on the kang on his body. Xu Manman also carried the packages on his back and held them in her hands, but the weight was a little lighter than Chen Ming's.
Finally, I checked that nothing was left in the house, put out the fire in the stove, and locked the door.
The others also packed up and left the educated youth site. The village's ox cart was already waiting at the door.
There were many people and a lot of stuff in their group, so they simply rented a bullock cart from the village. However, it was not practical for all of them to sit on it, and the bullock cart also had a weight limit.
After putting the luggage in the car and letting Xu Manman and Liu Hua sit in the empty space, the boys had to go about their business on their own, step by step.
It didn't snow today, but the temperature of minus twenty degrees Celsius is not to be trifled with. The biting north wind did not affect everyone's good mood at all.
The ox cart couldn't take them very far, so when they arrived at the commune, everyone carried their luggage and took a bus to the county town. Fortunately, it was winter and not many people went out, so at least the two girls managed to get seats.
The smell was really bad. There were chickens and ducks in the car, the smell of livestock, sour smell, gasoline smell, which lingered in the confined space.
The roads nowadays are not like the cement roads and asphalt roads of later generations. They are bumpy dirt roads and the cars have poor shock absorption. When we got off the car, several people looked not very well, and the two girls were even paler.
This is not the end. After arriving at the county town, they still have to take another bus to Taipei. Compared to the one hour from the commune to the county town, it will take three or four hours to get from the county town to Taipei!
Even though she was mentally prepared, the car ride was still very uncomfortable for Xu Manman. There were so many people going from the county to the city! Although no one brought animals, the car was very crowded.
There is no concept of overload in the future market now. As long as there is still room, people will go in.
This time we were not so lucky. We all had to stand. Several boys put their luggage in front of them and surrounded the two girls.
It can prevent petty theft and ensure the safety of girls.
We all work long-term, so standing for a few hours is no big deal. But the road is uneven and sways all the time. People can't stand steadily and are swayed the whole time.
Xu Manman held the backpack hanging in front of her cousin, and Liu Hua leaned on her while holding Li Xiao.
Even so, she couldn't stand completely steady. Xu Manman ignored the motion sickness and stayed on her toes the whole time, trying to maintain her balance.
The moment I got off the bus when it stopped at the Taipei Bus Station, I felt a sense of relief as if I had survived a disaster.
