Chapter 103 Asking Her for Help
Yun Qiao pursed her lips and said nothing.
If possible, she doesn't want to have any relatives here.
Shanghai is so nice, a bustling big city with a good climate, neither too hot nor too cold. Unlike this Great Northern Wilderness, which is cold and desolate.
It’s just that Uncle Ye was sent down. Whether he comes or not, as a sent-down person, he can only obey and has no choice at all.
Lin Tao was completely unaware and asked Yun Qiao, "Comrade Ye, where are you from?"
"From Shanghai."
"Oh, I'm from Tianjin." Lin Tao said, "Do you know where Comrade Zheng Wenjing is from?"
"Comrade Zheng, she's from the capital."
In fact, Yun Qiao felt that Lin Tao might not be unaware that Zheng Wenjing's family was from the capital. He probably just wanted to find a suitable topic to bring the conversation to Zheng Wenjing.
Lin Tao smiled and said, "That's quite a coincidence. Tianjin Port and the capital are on the same train line. If there's a chance in the future, maybe we can go visit relatives together in our hometown."
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "You'll have to ask Comrade Zheng about this and see if the time can be adjusted."
Lin Tao said, "I just don't know if the time can be adjusted. I usually go to the village in spring and autumn, and I don't know when Comrade Zheng will plan to visit his family."
"I don't know about that either." Yun Qiao said, "I just got here, and I don't know when our group of educated youth will be allowed to apply for long-term leave to visit relatives."
"It should be around the autumn of next year. When I arrived, it was the first year that the educated youth couldn't visit their families." Lin Tao cautiously probed, "How about I ask Comrade Zheng for family leave now?"
Yun Qiao immediately understood what was going on when he heard this. He thought he had a good relationship with Zheng Wenjing and wanted him to help bring them together.
Yun Qiao didn't want to get involved in other people's feelings, so he laughed it off and said, "Let's talk about it later. It's still early."
"Yes, it's still early. Haha, it's still early."
Lin Tao also saw that Yun Qiao didn't want to get involved, so he continued chatting with her ramblingly.
The carriage ran on the snowy road for more than an hour, and Yun Qiao finally saw the low mountain where Sanheying Village was located.
The carriage went up the sloping road halfway up the mountain. The village looked exactly the same as when Yun Qiao came last time.
Because it was cold, everyone stayed at home and did not come out. The village was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.
If it weren't for the fact that every household had a kang and wisps of green smoke were coming out of the chimney from time to time, Yun Qiao would almost have thought that no one lived in the village.
After entering the village, Yun Qiao gave Lin Tao directions based on his memory of his last visit. A few minutes later, the carriage stopped outside the fenced courtyard where Uncle Ye lived.
The door of the mud house was closed. Yun Qiao jumped off the carriage, pushed open the door of the fenced courtyard, and shouted inside: "Uncle? Aunt? Are you home?"
The door to the main room was quickly opened, and Ye Yuanzhang came out with a look of surprise: "Yun Qiao, how did you get here from such a long distance?"
"I asked the company commander for two days' leave, and he approved my coming to visit my relatives." Yun Qiao smiled and introduced Ye Yuanzhang, "This is Comrade Lin Tao, an educated youth from our fifth company's transport team. He's the one who drove me here today."
"Hello, Uncle Ye."
"Hello, Comrade Lin!" Ye Yuanzhang quickly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Lin Tao.
Lin Tao took off his gloves and held it.
