The final exams are over, and Qian Duoduo once again became the top student in the entire grade, which everyone has become accustomed to. Jiang Sisi is now homeless, so Qian Mao asked her to go back to Beian Village with Qian Duoduo. Since Jin Jinxiu has returned, he felt he should take his girlfriend back to meet her. However, he has to go to Beijing for a meeting with Vice Mayor Lu these few days and cannot go with her, so he can only ask his younger sister Duoduo to take care of her!
Lu Fen said, "Duo Duo, didn't we agree to go to the oil city? How about we go first?"
Qian Duoduo looked at Guo Ni and Jiang Sisi and said, "Okay!"
As long as Jiang Sisi stays by Qian Duoduo's side, she doesn't care whether they go to the oil city first or go back to Beian Village first.
Guo Ni shook her head and said, "I won't go. I miss my child terribly, so I'll go home first."
Qian Duoduo asked with a grin, "Do you miss the child or the child's father?"
Guo Ni looked at Qian Duoduo and said with a smile, "Of course, I miss the child's father more." Then she laughed heartily.
Now that the decision to go to the oil city has been made, Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "I'll have Sisi tell my third brother to help me buy the tickets."
Lu Fen waved his hand and said, "No need, Lu Yuan can handle this. He has a comrade-in-arms who works at the railway bureau and can help buy tickets. Besides, it only takes a few hours to get from Harbin to the oil city, and we don't need to take a sleeper berth!"
Since someone was willing to buy tickets, Qian Duoduo naturally waited patiently. The next day, Lu Yuan delivered the train tickets, and it turned out that even Tian Rong's tickets were available, which made Tian Rong a little embarrassed!
Lu Fen smiled and said, "Sister Tian Rong, your family is from the oil city, so we have a guide now. Besides, it's just a matter of having one more or one less ticket."
Tian Rong smiled and said, "Okay, since you're thinking of me, I won't dawdle. Keep this ticket money and come find me when we get to the oil city. I'll take you guys out for fun."
Lu Fen looked at the money, then at Tian Rong. She knew that Tian Rong's family wasn't well-off, which was evident from her frugal lifestyle. Last time, when Tian Tian was sick, she had to borrow a hundred yuan from Duo Duo.
Although she returned the remaining 35 yuan on her way back, and made a payment once, it was a school subsidy, and that's probably all the money she'll have left this month.
Seeing that she didn't take the money, Tian Rong raised her hand and said, "If you treat me like a sister, then take it. In your words, stop dawdling. Dragging your feet like a woman!"
Lu Fen smiled: "Okay."
Jiang Sisi watched the others quietly packing their things, and felt a little out of place among them. It wasn't like this before.
Tian Rong used to be the worst off, and she's having a tough time now, still owing Qian Duoduo money. But how can she smile so brightly and be so calm in front of Qian Duoduo?
Doesn't she feel uncomfortable or guilty?
She looked at Qian Duoduo again, smiling at them, and asked, "Duoduo, have you packed everything?"
Hearing Jiang Sisi's question, Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Do you really need to pack up so little stuff? It'll be done in no time!"
Jiang Sisi suddenly realized that she didn't know how to get along with Qian Duoduo anymore. It seemed that she was a contradiction. Because she was dating Qian Mao, she had the idea of trying to please her sister-in-law, but she also wanted to have the authority of a sister-in-law.
But I know that my current thoughts are wrong, yet I just can't help but speculate about others.
On the day of departure, Lu Yuan was already waiting at the gate of Northeast Agricultural University with his bag. Qian Duoduo and Lu Fen walked in front, while Jiang Sisi and Tian Rong walked behind. When the four women saw Lu Yuan, they walked towards him, and the five of them took a bus to the train station.
On the train, Lu Yuan consciously sat next to Qian Duoduo, while Tian Rong and Lu Fen sat opposite Qian Duoduo. Lu Yuan was very pleased with his older sister's thoughtfulness and raised an eyebrow at her.
Lu Fen noticed Lu Yuan raising an eyebrow at her and was a little confused as to what Yuanzi meant by looking at her like that. She was sitting here simply because she was afraid of getting carsick, and this side of the road offered a forward view, so looking out the window would make her feel better.
Tian Rong followed Lu Fen because this side looked forward, and there was no place for her on Qian Duoduo's side. Looking at the trees receding outside the window, she felt a sense of anticipation, hoping to see her child and her child's father.
They finally arrived in the oil city. As the five of them exited the train station, they saw a woman dressed in oil city worker's clothes looking in their direction. When she saw Lu Fen, she immediately ran over, calling out, "Lu Fen, Lu Fen!"
When Lu Fen saw Lu Qing, he immediately smiled and said, "Sister!"
Lu Yuan immediately stepped forward, looked at Lu Qing, and said, "Sister!"
Lu Qing looked at Lu Fen, then at Lu Yuan, and nodded with a smile: "Oh, it's so good that you've come!"
Lu Yuan smiled and took a few steps back, standing next to Qian Duoduo. He introduced her, "Sister, this is Duoduo, my sister's classmate."
Looking at the little girl in front of her, and then at her younger brother who was laughing like a little fool, Lu Qing seemed to understand something with a sudden flash of inspiration. She smiled and said, "Hello, I am Lu Yuan's older sister. Welcome to the oil city."
Lu Fen smiled and said, "Sister, this is Jiang Sisi, and this is Tian Rong. They are my classmates, and we are roommates. We get along very well!"
Lu Qing smiled and said, "Hello, Jiang, and Director Tian, it's been a long time."
Tian Rong smiled and said, "It's been a long time. I never imagined that I would become a schoolmate with your sister."
Lu Qing laughed and said, "I didn't expect her to go to an agricultural university. I thought she would go to a military academy or something!"
Thinking of Lu Fen's impressive fighting ability, Tian Rong smiled and said, "I didn't expect that when I was chatting with Lu Fen about you, I was also quite moved!"
Lu Qing smiled and said, "I came here on the oil mill's tricycle. Let's go over there first!"
Everyone followed Lu Qing to the tricycle. Qian Duoduo saw that Lu Yuan and Lu Fen had put their handbags and backpacks on the tricycle. She and Jiang Sisi looked at them but didn't move.
Lu Fen smiled and said, "Sister Tian Rong, Duo Duo, Si Si, you can put your things on the car. My sister can ride it, and we can save some energy."
Jiang Sisi glanced at the tricycle, which still had plenty of space, and put her bag on it. Tian Rong and Qian Duoduo followed suit. With the weight of their bags gone, the group found walking much easier.
The oil city in the early 1980s was something Qian Duoduo had never seen before. The city was not as prosperous as it would be in later years, and the roads were not wide enough. However, the oil mill occupied a large area, and there was a nodding donkey machine not far away, which chuckled to itself.
Lu Qing was also observing Qian Duoduo. The younger brother's attitude clearly showed that he was interested in the girl, but if she wanted to become a member of her family, she couldn't be someone with a bad personality. It was a good time to get to know her and see what Yuanzi's taste was like!
