Once the wardrobe was moved, the hidden compartment at the back was naturally revealed, and Jiang Xile's eyes lit up when she saw this secret compartment.
Upon opening it, wow, there were two neat stacks of ten-yuan notes, a box of small yellow croakers, and a box of jewelry.
Looking at the Deng character engraved on the jewelry box, Jiang Xile understood everything. It must have been taken from the Deng family by Jiang Wanmin.
Since it belongs to my maternal grandfather's family, we absolutely cannot leave it to that old scoundrel Jiang Wanmin.
He packed everything into his spatial storage, and before leaving, Jiang Xile mischievously took all the clothes from beside the three beds.
Whether Jiang Wanmin will go out naked tomorrow is not within her consideration.
Looking at her watch, it was already four o'clock. Taking advantage of the last bit of darkness, Jiang Xile quickly left the Jiang family courtyard and rushed back to the guesthouse.
At 5:15, Jiang Xile appeared at the front desk of the guesthouse right on time, carrying her handbag.
"Hello comrade, could you please open the door for me? My train leaves at 5:30 today, and I need to get to the station now."
"Hmm? Oh, okay! Just a moment!"
Behind the counter, the clerk groggily opened his eyes, taking about two or three minutes to fully wake up.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I went to bed a little late last night. Otherwise, I would have gotten up at five o'clock every day to open the door. I'm so grateful that you woke me up!"
"It's alright, it's not too late now. You go ahead with your work, I'll be going now, I still need to report to the train station!"
"Hmm, look at me, you're going to be an educated youth sent to the countryside, right? Then hurry up and go, don't be late."
"Yes, thank you. Here is the deposit slip."
"Okay, here you go, a one-dollar deposit. Just sign here."
"OK!"
With the waiter in attendance, Jiang Xile left the guesthouse carrying her handbag. The journey from the train station to here takes no more than five or six minutes.
When I arrived at the station, there were already quite a few people gathered there. This was the starting point for this train, so there were naturally many passengers.
One advantage is that you don't need to transfer, even if it takes a little longer, you can get directly to your destination.
With the help of the comrades from the educated youth office, Jiang Xile successfully found the registration point, registered her name, and then boarded the bus with the rest of the group.
The people boarding the train now are mostly educated youth going to the countryside; at least for now, there are hardly any older people in their carriage.
Jiang Xile's seat was in the middle of the carriage, right next to the window. When she found the seat with her handbag, she didn't expect that someone was already sitting there.
A man and a woman, it's obvious at a glance they're a couple, but even if they are, they can't just take someone else's place.
"Excuse me, sir, seat number 79 is mine, could you please move aside?"
Zhang Xuesong and Li Haizhen stood up apologetically when they saw the newcomers.
"Excuse me, sir, we're sitting together. Would it be convenient for you to switch seats? My seat is also by the window, right next to me!"
Zhang Xuesong was a little reserved and embarrassed to interact with female comrades.
Jiang Xile looked in the direction the man pointed. It was just one row away from here, also a window seat, so it wasn't too far.
"Alright, then I'll switch with you. We're comrades in the revolution, it's only right that we help each other!"
"That's wonderful! Thank you so much, young comrade. You're such a kind person. By the way, my name is Li Haizhen, and this is Zhang Xuesong. We're both educated youth going to Tiancheng. Are you also going to the countryside?"
Seeing that Jiang Xile had agreed, Li Haizhen immediately became happy, her whole demeanor brightened, and she introduced herself with great enthusiasm.
"Hello, Comrade Li. I am Jiang Xile, also a sent-down youth going to Tiancheng. I guess everyone in our carriage is a sent-down youth going to the countryside."
"Yes, I know a little about that too. But what a coincidence, you're also going to Sweet City. I just asked several people, and they're all going to other places."
You're the first person I've met to go somewhere with us. Isn't Sweet City nice? Why do so few people go there?
These few words reveal that the girl in front of you is somewhat naive, perhaps because she has been too well protected by her family.
I don't know how someone like that could have become an educated youth. If he went to the countryside and no one protected him, wouldn't he have been eaten alive?
Seeing that his girlfriend was about to start talking again, Zhang Xuesong quickly reached out and pulled her aside.
"Haizhen, let Comrade Jiang put his things away first, there will be more people getting on the bus later. We can talk more when we have a chance, okay?"
The man patiently coaxed and coaxed her, and Li Haizhen blushed with embarrassment. Looking at Jiang Xile, she said somewhat apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Comrade Jiang, I talked too much. You go ahead and get busy. We can chat again when we have a chance!"
Jiang Xile nodded and then went to her new seat.
To make it easier to access her belongings, she simply placed her handbag under the seat, saving herself the trouble of going up and down to get them.
Before long, many more people got on the bus. Jiang Xile glanced at her watch; there were still ten minutes before departure.
Just then, another group of people came into Jiang Xile's view. There were six people in total, men and women, making it quite a large group.
"Excuse me, could you please change my seat?"
Jiang Xile frowned and looked over. A girl wearing a light yellow dress was standing next to her, and her attitude was relatively gentle.
Are there really so many groups of people today? One or two of them need to change seats.
"Where would we like to go? If it's a window seat, that's fine, but nothing else is negotiable."
Jiang Xile's voice was slightly cold, but she did not refuse; she simply stated her position.
"It's by the window too, comrade, don't worry, you won't suffer any losses, it's just one row away!"
Jiang Xile looked in the direction the girl was pointing, and sure enough, it was right across from where she had been sitting.
"Okay, then I'll switch with you."
"Really, thank you so much! You've gone to so much trouble, thank you so much!"
The girl's words were full of surprise and excitement; it was just a change of scenery, but she seemed to have won the lottery.
Standing up, I could finally see the group of people standing behind the girl. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women was indeed pleasing to the eye. I never thought there would be such good-looking men in this day and age.
Although the man was indeed very handsome, he wasn't Jiang Xile's type, so she just glanced at him briefly and then looked away.
At the same time, the people behind the girl also got a clear look at Jiang Xile's appearance.
After several days of treatment, Jiang Xile, though still somewhat thin, is no longer the sickly, blond-haired girl she once was.
Her small, delicate face, her crescent-shaped eyebrows, and her eyes like autumn water all exuded an indescribable aura, making her appear both aloof and mysterious.
The gauze on her forehead looked a little out of place, making one feel sorry for her.
Ignoring the probing looks from the crowd, Jiang Xile picked up her handbag and went to her new seat after the exchange.
