Chapter 35 Your partner is so handsome
When Yun Qiao heard the girl talk more and more about having a baby, her pretty face turned red, and she didn't know whether it was out of embarrassment or shyness.
She wanted to explain, but she had just choked on water and her throat felt like something was blocking it. She kept coughing and couldn't say anything.
He Tingjun paused, patted Yun Qiao's back, and then explained: "Sister, you misunderstood, we are not husband and wife."
Yun Qiao finally recovered and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, we are not husband and wife. Big sister, why do you think so?"
The female conductor looked at them both suspiciously and said doubtfully, "Are you really not husband and wife?"
Yun Qiao immediately raised his hand to assure, "It's really not."
She looked at He Tingjun again. He Tingjun coughed lightly and explained, "She's only ten years old. She's my friend's niece, so she's considered my junior. Don't match us up randomly."
"Oh, I misunderstood. I'm sorry."
The female conductor left the train car, carrying her long-mouthed tin kettle. She walked a long way off, still muttering, "This shouldn't be the case. My grandma is a family man. Her unique skills can't be fake. Could it be that I'm not a skilled person and saw it wrong?"
"Strange, strange."
The female conductor said goodbye, and neither of them spoke. The atmosphere between them was a little awkward for a moment.
Yun Qiao laughed dryly and tried to make conversation: "This elder sister... actually said we were husband and wife. She really knows how to joke, haha, it's quite funny."
He Tingjun hummed, "People from the Northeast are very friendly and can chat with anyone. She was probably just joking, so you shouldn't take it to heart."
"Yeah. I didn't take it seriously. I guess you've forgotten about it too."
Of course Yun Qiao didn't take it to heart. She wished to forget this embarrassing incident immediately.
After all, He Tingjun is a bit too considerate. He takes care of her like a child, giving her pocket money and buying her snacks. He is more like her uncle than her uncle Ye Yuanzhang!
What's going on with him?
Tsk.
Yun Qiao just thought about it and felt like he was disrespecting his elders.
Don't dare to offend!
Yun Qiao shrank his neck, turned his gaze out the window, and pretended nothing had happened.
He Tingjun raised his eyes and glanced at her, without commenting, and curled the corners of his lips.
The rural railway train passed through the wilderness of the Great Northern Wilderness, and after passing through one platform after another, it finally arrived at Yun Qiao and his group's destination this time - the final station, Dongfanghong Station, in the afternoon.
There weren't many passengers on the bus, so the two got off without experiencing any crowding.
Dongfanghong is just a village under Hulin, and Dongfanghong Station is just a small station on the Beidahuang Agricultural Railway. Unlike the magnificent architectural styles of Shanghai Railway Station and Harbin Railway Station, Dongfanghong Railway Station is just a row of small houses with red tiles and red walls.
In front of the small house, there is a bungalow to shelter from the rain. Next to the bungalow, there is a sign with big red characters in the middle that read - Dongfanghong Station.
There was also a small word written below: At the end of 1965, the Songjiang Provincial Production and Construction Corps was established.
He Tingjun was very familiar with this place. After getting out of the car, he took her to a nearby state-owned restaurant for dinner. While walking, he introduced the situation here to her.
"The station is at the southernmost end. A short walk north from the station is the state-owned hotel. Next to the hotel is the People's Commune, and across from it is the Forestry Bureau. Further north is the grain depot, and the headquarters of Farm 58, where you'll be going to the countryside this time. However, educated youth aren't usually assigned to the headquarters; they're usually assigned to the companies below."
Yun Qiao: "Yes, I was assigned to the third company of the farm's third regiment."
"The Third Regiment's 1st Company. I don't know exactly where it's located, but the headquarters isn't far from our camp." He Tingjun thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Don't rush to report today. It'll be hard to ask for leave after you've reported. We don't have enough time today, so come back to the camp with me and stay overnight. Tomorrow I'll take you to Farm 52 to meet your uncle. After you've met your uncle, you can report. What do you think of this arrangement?"
Yun Qiao agreed and said, "Brother He, your arrangement is very good. I will listen to you."
