Now that things had come to this, Yi Qingqing really needed these things, so she didn't refuse.

That night, she slept with her mother.

The train early the next morning.

The train whistled for departure and clanged away from the platform. Yi Qingqing waved goodbye to her family on the platform and said, "Mom and Dad, let's go back!"

"Remember to write back more often!" Zhao Xianglan shouted at the top of her voice.

"knew!"

Yi Qingqing didn't sit down until she could no longer see the platform.

A few hours later, the train arrived at Haishi Station and Wang Lingling got on the train.

When she came back, she traveled light, but when she went to the countryside, she carried a lot of luggage.

This time she was smart and got two bags, one big and one small. The big bag was tied tightly, and all the things she needed on the train were packed in the small bag.

"Qingqing, long time no see!" Wang Lingling was so happy when she saw Yi Qingqing, "I missed you so much! As soon as the New Year is over, I can't wait to go back to my hometown."

Yi Qingqing helped her put her luggage away, pulled her to sit down and started gossiping: "Did the blind date go well?"

Wang Lingling sighed when she heard this. "When they heard that I was going to go to the countryside with you, everyone was shocked. I gave up, but my dad went around looking for friends and introduced me to someone. You'll never guess who it is."

"Who is it?" Since Wang Lingling asked this, it must be someone she knows.

Among the people in Hai City, Yi Qingqing only knew a few of them.

"It's me," someone next to him suddenly spoke.

Yi Qingqing and Wang Lingling were both shocked.

"Why are you here?" Wang Lingling's heart almost jumped out of her chest!

Yi Qingqing turned her head and was shocked. She actually knew this person. Wasn't he Xie Shiyan?

"You'll have to ask your father and my old man about that," Xie Shiyan said, carrying his bag and sitting opposite them.

Wang Lingling then remembered to look at her father who had betrayed his daughter. He was waving at her with a smile on his face on the platform!

What followed was a long and awkward silence, and Wang Lingling almost tore the corner of her clothes.

Yi Qingqing didn't know how to comment on this development, it was too unexpected.

Before this, Xie Shiyan obviously did not show any sign of knowing Wang Lingling, and the two of them seemed to have no other connections except that their houses were next to each other.

Unexpectedly, Wang Lingling couldn't find a man who was willing to go to the countryside with her, so her father arranged a date for her with an old educated youth who had already gone to the countryside with her from the same place.

Although he is called an old educated youth, he actually went to the countryside only one year earlier than them.

In the original book by Xie Shiyan, he was the male best friend of the heroine Li Mengxue after college! They both loved beauty, were admitted to the Film Academy, and became alumni.

According to the original book, Xie Shiyan seems to like the heroine! Although the two of them don't have much interaction now, it hasn't developed to that stage.

But now he has become Wang Lingling's blind date, and it seems that the parents of both families are quite satisfied with each other, and they even secretly arranged their seats together.

It would have been fine if the atmosphere was awkward only between these two people, but Yi Qingqing went to the restroom during the train ride and caught a glimpse of people in another carriage, carrying large and small bags, with looks of expectation or worry on their faces, chatting about all sorts of things. They looked so familiar, and there were no one in this carriage when she got on!

Yi Qingqing came back and asked Wang Lingling: "Are all the people in the carriage in front of us the educated youth who got on the train from Haishi?"

Wang Lingling's father works for the Youth League Office, so she should know about this.

"Yes, my dad heard me say that we can only work for half a year in the second half of the year, and the food we get from work points is not enough to feed the whole year in the second year. So this year he proposed to move up the time for the educated youth from Haishi to go to the countryside so that they can catch up with the spring planting. Today should be the earliest batch, and the number of people should be small."

Wang Lingling explained.

Yi Qingqing: "..."

It's really thoughtful. You can earn a whole year's work points by going there. Grain was just distributed last autumn, and the team does have some stock. It's estimated that they can borrow a lot more grain than they did last year. But when they get there, it's cold for a month in the middle of winter without firewood, and then there's the terrible spring sowing. I don't know whether it will be good or bad.

Besides, the first batch of educated youths from Hai City have already set off. What about Zheng Xiaolong’s fiancée…

Yi Qingqing quickly asked Wang Lingling whether any of the people who went to the countryside were assigned to the Xiangshui Village Brigade.

"Last year, quite a lot of educated youth were assigned to the communes below Tieling County. I don't know about other places, but Hai City should be sent to a place further north this year. But there is an exception. I heard from my father that someone used his connections to go to our brigade. I don't know why, but I hope the person who comes is of good character." Wang Lingling said.

With great difficulty, their youth cadre site had become quiet and there were no more troublesome people. They lived a comfortable life. If another troublemaker came, they would not be able to bear it.

Yi Qingqing: "..."

She really wants to say that your wish is about to be shattered.

Well, it’s better that this person comes earlier, so that Li Mengxue and Zheng Xiaolong won’t be together for too long and get too deeply involved.

"Qingqing, do you think I should move to a new house this year and live next to you? The three of you are living together, and there is only an empty room between you and me." Wang Lingling said suddenly.

Yi Qingqing looked at Wang Lingling who didn't dare to look at Xie Shiyan opposite her. Did she want to be together with the three of them, or did she not want to be together with Xie Shiyan?

She was a little confused about the two of them. Apart from the two sentences they said when getting on the car, they had no other communication. But Wang Lingling's awkwardness and Xie Shiyan's frankness together made them look unusual no matter how you looked at them.

But at times like this, we still have to support our sisters.

Section 125

"If you want to move, just move. It's not difficult to move. Although it's cold these days, we haven't started work yet. It will be quick to find someone to help you."

Anyway, Wang Lingling has the financial resources, so she can do whatever makes her happy.

This train trip really looks ordinary on the surface, but it is actually turbulent in secret.

According to Yi Qingqing's observation, it's hard to tell how much Xie Shiyan likes Wang Lingling, but his attitude towards her is indeed very different from last year.

In the past, Yi Qingqing felt that Xie Shiyan was a person who had no good friends at the educated youth center. He took care of himself and was just an acquaintance with others. He didn’t have a very strong sense of existence.

But he still pays a little more attention to Wang Lingling now.

Although Wang Lingling never said a word to him and even dared not look at him, Xie Shiyan's gaze always fell on her openly.

Once, Yi Qingqing also saw that when Wang Lingling kept tilting her head for a long time and twisted her neck, Xie Shiyan secretly laughed.

It was as if he knew Wang Lingling didn't dare to look at him, so he deliberately put on a calm look to tease her.
