Wen Sihe raised her eyes and smiled: "I wonder when you plan to go back?"
Ji Nian's fingers rubbed the corner of his clothes slightly, and a little emotion was revealed in his voice: "I think it will be soon. My father wrote a letter saying that he will help me get the ticket and will send me a telegram to tell me the specific time."
Nowadays, sleeper berths on trains are only for people who have made contributions to the country and have status and position!
Wen Sihe hesitated for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "Niannian, I won't hide it from you, the three children have never seen their grandparents.
I was originally planning to go to Beijing this year, but it was not safe for me to take three children with me......"
Before Wen Sihe could finish her words, Jin Yi clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Then I'll go with you.
This way I can also help you look after the child. We are both going to Beijing, and I am not familiar with the place.
I feel more at ease with you by my side."
Ji's father was transferred there in the first half of the year. He told Jian Ji the news only after he had settled down.
So Jinian was both resentful and angry towards her father, and the cold words only specifically mentioned that she should go to her new home in Beijing.
But she never thought about whether she was willing to go. In such a new place, wouldn't she be at the mercy of others?
Wen Sihe pulled out a bigger smile: "Okay, I'll take you for a good walk then.
It's about this train ticket. You know, sleeper berths are really hard to buy. If Comrade Lu from our family were here, we could think of a way.
But recently, the food factory has been very busy, and he hasn't been back for a long time."
Ji Nian patted his chest and said, "Leave this matter to me. I'll go to the brigade headquarters right away."
Wen Sihe patted her clothes and held Jinian's arm: "I'll go with you. It's just right to talk to the captain about this matter."
Since the Liyuan has been developing better and better, people from various brigades and communes often come to visit. Captain Lu is annoyed that they have to run to the commune to hold meetings whenever someone comes to visit.
We spent a lot of money to install a telephone line at the brigade headquarters.
This way, if there are any arrangements at the commune, you can just make a phone call and it will be resolved.
The two men linked arms and walked quickly towards the brigade headquarters.
Just then, I ran into Li Guihua walking out of the educated youth center: "Hey, how did you two meet each other? What are you going to do?"
When Ji Nian saw Li Guihua, his smile deepened: "I plan to go back home for the New Year this year. So I'm thinking of going to the brigade headquarters to call home first, and then ask the brigade leader to write a letter to inquire."
Li Guihua quickly put the firewood in her arms at the door, took a torn towel and patted herself: "Wait for me, I will go with you."
Wen Sihe and Jinian looked at each other. It seemed that Li Guihua and the others were also planning to go home again this year.
When we arrived at the brigade headquarters, the brigade leader and Secretary He were calculating this year's income and expenditure.
Suddenly, I saw a few female educated youth coming over. They tapped their cigarettes in surprise and said, "Xiao Wen, Ji, Li, what are you doing......"
Jinian is usually weak and doesn't like to talk. Even when he went to the brigade to get a letter of introduction, he went with everyone else.
So Captain Lu didn't expect her to answer.
However, the situation was different this time, and Ji Nian stood up openly and said, "Captain Lu, I'd like to borrow the team's phone.
I'll give it to you at the price the newspaper charges."
Captain Lu laughed and said, "Look at what you are saying, isn't this telephone line just for everyone's convenience?
In that room, you are free to use it. "
In the morning, Captain Lu was still discussing with Secretary He which members of the team had a good chance of being admitted to university.
Jinian tops the list, after all, she has no children and can concentrate on her studies.
Unlike Li Guihua and Wen Sihe, who not only have to study, but also have to take care of several children.
Ji Nian stayed in the room for about five minutes, smiling with his eyes curved. He quickly walked over and whispered a few words into Wen Sihe's ear.
Wen Sihe raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked subconsciously, "So fast?"
Ji Nian was also a little worried. To be honest, she didn't want to go back to that calculating home so early.
"My dad said that return tickets are easy to buy in the next few days, and he can get us three sleeper tickets so that the two children can sleep in one bed.
There are two lower bunks next to each other, which makes it convenient for us to watch.
If it is later, when all units have holidays, many people will definitely return home, and it will not be so easy to buy adjacent tickets. "
Wen Sihe thought about it and felt that this made sense, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's go find the captain to get a letter of introduction."
Captain Lu heard their purpose clearly, returned to the office with a smile, and took out the paper and seal.
"How long do you plan to visit your relatives this time?"
The people in Heilongjiang Province have to hibernate every year, so it is useless to let the educated youth stay here.
So they have much more holidays to visit relatives than other provinces.
The home visit leave in other provinces is basically one month.
Two or three months is not a problem in Heilongjiang Province, but we have to return to Dahe Village half a month before spring plowing.
If you fail to do so, you will not be granted home leave in the next two years.
This was what Captain Lu and Secretary He had originally discussed.
Having said that, for most of the educated youth, they basically returned home after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The reason is very realistic. If you add a pair of chopsticks for eating to the house for free, there will always be someone who will complain.
Jin Ji turned to look at Wen Sihe and asked with a frown.
Wen Sihe thought about it. If she remembered correctly, the admission letters were only issued starting from February of 1978.
More popular schools may issue the notices earlier, while admission notices for technical secondary schools are generally issued in late March or April.
Staying in Beijing for four months was not very realistic, so Wen Sihe gestured a number and said, "Please write me a three-month home visit leave first.
If the child is making a fuss outside, he will probably come back in a month or two."
Captain Lu wrote quickly on the paper with sonorous words: "You and your children have been gone for three or four months, and Xiaoye must feel lonely when he returns home alone."
There was a hint of joking in his words, and that was also because he had a good relationship with Wen Sihe and the others.
Wen Sihe's eyebrows softened: "I haven't seen my parents for six or seven years, so I naturally want to stay for a while.
If Aye has time later, he can also go to Jing City to meet us."
"Then I'll take four months of home leave."
Jinian felt that it would be difficult for him to get out after returning home this time.
At least until the notice comes out, you may have to stay at home.
She was alone, so instead of traveling thousands of miles back to Heilongjiang Province, it would be better for her to get the notice and report as soon as possible.
When everything was settled, her stepmother had no chance to cause any trouble.
