Chapter 379 Dissatisfaction
Since it is not certain to find the right one, why not train it yourself? She herself is not particularly good at it, so it is not only training, but also mutual improvement. With this idea in mind, Ye Qian is naturally willing to bring He Jun out.
He Jun was kept in the school by Ye Qian, and after getting her transcript, Ye Qian also set off for Beijing.
This year, Gu Jinyan didn't get to travel with her on business during the summer vacation. Although she felt a little disappointed, there was nothing she could do. She didn't want to go to such lengths, so she left Gu Jinyan and the children behind and headed to Beijing alone. She tried to finish her business as quickly as possible and return home early.
The five-day journey went by quite slowly. Fortunately, Ye Qian had a space. She sat alone in the box, and from time to time her consciousness would enter the space to harvest vegetables and plant them. It was enough to relieve her boredom and help her pass the time. She then made a draft of the things she needed to complete during this period, marking them down one by one. This way, it was simple and clear, and she could complete the purpose of her trip as soon as possible.
Four days had finally passed, only for the train to break down along the way. Just as everyone was panicking, the crew informed them that repairs would take three days. Those three days felt like years. In the scorching summer heat, the train still allowed some breeze when it was running, which was acceptable for everyone huddled together. But now the train was broken down and stationary, with no breeze at all, and the heat inside the carriages was unbearable.
If the train had broken down somewhere else, everyone could have stayed in a state-owned hotel until the train was repaired, which would have made things easier for everyone. But their train broke down in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere, in a deserted place. There was nothing they could do but stay inside the train, afraid to get left behind and afraid to run into something bad out in the middle of nowhere.
The unpleasant odor filled the large carriage, and everyone endured it. The smaller carriages, like theirs, were much better. While hot and stuffy, the odor was absent. The first day passed in silence, but on the second day, some people gradually began to feel unwell. From their smaller carriages, they could hear the occasional arguments from the larger carriages. The third day was even worse; the arguments never ceased.
While delivering water, the train attendant was nearly accidentally injured by someone in the carriage. Honestly, this was the first time Ye Qian had encountered such a scene in all her train travel. Trains had broken down before, but this was the first time it had broken down for such a long time. She was a little frightened for a moment, but she was also thankful she hadn't brought the children with her; otherwise, if they started crying, it would have been a real disaster.
While Ye Qian waited for the train to be repaired, Gu Jinyan in Han City was extremely anxious. Logically, Ye Qian should have arrived in Jing City by now, but two days had passed and she still hadn't called to report her safety. After work, he immediately contacted her and learned that the train had broken down en route and hadn't been repaired yet. Gu Jinyan felt a little guilty, thinking he should have accompanied Ye Qian.
Fortunately, I received a call from Ye Qian the next night.
At this time, Ye Qian had already gotten off the train and returned to her home in Beijing. She was lying leisurely on the sofa and calling Gu Jinyan: "I'm already here. The train broke down and took three days to recover. Don't worry."
"I know. I called and asked, and I know it's the train that's broken down." Gu Jinyan finally felt relieved after receiving Ye Qian's call. "Did you just get off the train?"
Ye Qian took a bite of the apple and then said, "Yes, I called you as soon as I got home. I'll be good."
"Well, be good. You've been tired for several days, so take a good rest. Don't hang around these days." Gu Jinyan reminded. He knew that Ye Qian couldn't sit idle, so he reminded her specifically. Of course, he also knew that Ye Qian would not listen at all.
Listening or not is one thing, but agreeing or not is another. Ye Qian naturally agreed to Gu Jinyan's instructions: "I know, I will be honest and obedient. I will go to see Li Manyu tomorrow and will not run around."
Ye Qian had originally planned to do so, and Gu Jinyan had no objection, so the matter was settled.
The next day.
Under the scorching sun, Ye Qian struggled to walk to Li Manyu's house, wearing a sun umbrella and a sun-protective jacket, carrying the fruit she had prepared. Being close to home was a great advantage; no matter where she went, she could walk. The only problem was that the weather was incredibly hot, and by the time Ye Qian arrived at Li Manyu's house, she was already sweating profusely. She placed the fruit on the ground, pulled a handkerchief from her purse, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then knocked on the door.
Ye Qian knocked twice and a woman's voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
"Is Comrade Li Manyu at home? I asked Ye Qian to make an appointment with her yesterday." After hanging up the phone with Gu Jinyan yesterday, Ye Qian called Li Manyu directly and made an appointment to come over today. Li Manyu must be at home.
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman opened the yard door and looked at Ye Qian warily.
What's wrong with this guy? Why is he looking at her like that? No, the more accurate word is "sizing her up." He barely even opened the door before he could see through her from head to toe.
Ye Qian felt a little strange, but she didn't like the look, so she glared back, scaring the woman so much that she took a step back and turned her head away, not daring to look at Ye Qian again. At this time, Fu Shan, who was in the house, heard someone coming. At this time, it was only Ye Qian, after all, not many people would sleep so late and go to other people's houses as guests at lunchtime. The woman came out and greeted Ye Qian with excitement when she saw her. "Sister Qian, you are finally here."
"Yes, the train broke down and stayed there for several days. I was afraid it would just break down there. That would be the worst."
Fu Shan shook her head. "No, it will take a long time to repair. My brother went on a business trip to the north before, and the train broke down. It would have taken half a month to get there, and then the train broke down and took another half a month to repair. By the time he got off the train and called to report that he was safe, almost two months had passed. His family was extremely worried."
"Half a month, that's too long." It's no wonder Ye Qian made a fuss. She has been staying in the south, and the places she wants to go are not too far away. Basically, she can get there by train in a few days. The farthest place she has been to is Beijing. This is really unexpected.
Fu Shan took the fruit from Ye Qian's hand and handed it to the woman beside her, saying, "Aunt Zhang, please wash the fruit and bring it in."
The woman took the fruit and left. Ye Qian then asked Fu Shan, "Who is this person?"
Fu Shan seemed a little dissatisfied with Aunt Zhang and said, "She's the nanny my mom hired. I don't know where she found her. She's not very good at her job and has a bad temper."
