Chapter 44 There is no need for us to contact each other anymore



Jiang Qingyue nodded, "Then let's contact each other next year. By the way, don't send me money anymore. Also, don't write to the team. I will call you if I have anything to say."

Zhou Zhengting had originally wanted to ask her about her college entrance examination results.

After hearing her say this, I understood, "You passed the exam?"

"Um."

"Congratulations, Jiang Qingyue. Give me your school address and I'll write to you in advance."

Jiang Qingyue didn't plan to tell him the address, so she just said, "Zhou Zhengting, I'd better call you in advance."

Zhou Zhengting inexplicably felt that something was wrong with her.

Even if two people are about to get divorced, there is no need to hide even their addresses.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Jiang Qingyue pursed her lips and said, "No, I just think there's no need for us to contact each other anymore."

Zhou Zhengting laughed bitterly to himself, touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue, and said indifferently, "Okay, as you wish."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Xie Xiangyang, who was passing by, saw Zhou Zhengting hanging up the phone with a gloomy face, and exclaimed, "Whose phone is this? You are so angry, why did I hear it was a woman just now? Did you have a quarrel with your wife?"

Zhou Zhengting was just worried about having no place to vent his anger, so he gave him a provocative look, "Are you bored? Let's go and practice."

Xie Xiangyang knew that something bad was going to happen, so he pretended to run away.

"I won't fall for your trick, kid. You must have been scolded because you didn't go home to spend the New Year with your wife. You deserve it!"

......

After the Spring Festival, Jiang Qingyue was busy packing her luggage.

Seeing that her daughter was busy these days and had to stay up late to write manuscripts and do translations, Wang Xiuzhi couldn't help but complain about Zhou Zhengting.

"It's fine if Zhou Zhengting doesn't come back for the Spring Festival, but now you're going to Beijing, why doesn't he ask for leave to come back and be with you?"

"Did you two have a quarrel?"

Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "Mom, what are you thinking about? Didn't I tell you before the Spring Festival? The higher-ups have assigned him a mission and he can't come back. As a soldier, he can only obey unconditionally."

"Besides, He Tiantian will be going with us, so don't worry!"

Wang Xiuzhi thought about it and still felt a little upset. "Have you decided to take the child to Beijing? What do the Zhou family say?"

Jiang Qingyue stopped what she was doing and patiently explained to her, "Mom, the child is too young to leave me. As for the Zhou family, Zhou Zhengting's mother is in poor health and Zhou Zhengting is not here. You said it would be strange for me to come directly to their house with the child. Let's wait until Zhou Zhengting comes back."

"It's just that..." Jiang Qingyue glanced at Wang Xiuhe, with an apologetic look on her face, "The child is too young. I'll have to trouble you to go to Beijing with me to take care of him."

Wang Xiuhe was playing with the two children, and when she heard Jiang Qingyue say this, she immediately became unhappy.

"Qingyue, this is not such a hard thing to do. I am so happy!"

"I, your aunt, have never been out of Tongshan County in my life, nor have I ever taken a train. I never dreamed that I could go to Beijing. Besides, if I went there, I would at most just visit the children, and I wouldn't have to work hard in the fields. Why would that be so?"

Wang Xiuzhi originally wanted to ask Jiang Qingyue more about the Zhou family.

I saw two people busy with cleaning up and taking care of the children, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

There was no point in worrying herself, so she simply stopped asking.

After packing up her things, Jiang Qingyue began to liquidate her "property".

Over the past year, Zhou Zhengting has sent back fifteen yuan in allowance every month, plus the money he left behind before leaving and the pen he sent, the total amount is four hundred yuan.

Jiang Qingyue keeps a record of every transaction.

She planned to return this money to Zhou Zhengting when they met, and now she was just keeping it with her temporarily.

This year, she had to submit at least one manuscript every week and also helped translate business contracts.

The main point is diligence.

Although there is not much translation work, the price is good.

Including royalties and miscellaneous other expenses, I earned nearly 600 yuan in total.

After deducting daily expenses and money for having a baby, I now have more than 500 yuan left.

With this money, Jiang Qingyue felt more confident.

Anyway, there is no tuition fee for going to university, but when you go to Beijing you will need to rent a house and pay for the monthly living expenses for a family of four.

Jiang Qingyue is not worried about this. There are more opportunities in Beijing, and she can continue to find ways to make money when the time comes.

The day of departure has arrived.

Jiang Weidong drove a tractor and took Wang Xiuzhi to send the two adults and two children off.

When we arrived at the county town, I helped carry things to the bus station.

He Tiantian had been waiting at the bus station for a long time. When she saw them arriving, she hurried over to help carry their things onto the bus.

"Aunt, Brother Weidong, don't worry, we will take care of you along the way and nothing will happen."

Wang Xiuzhi thanked He Tiantian, then grabbed a handful of banknotes from her pocket and stuffed them through the window to Jiang Qingyue.

"Yue, this is a little gift from mom. Please take it and keep it. If you don't accept it, I, as your mother, will be worried."

Looking at Wang Xiuzhi and Jiang Weidong with red eyes outside the window, Jiang Qingyue also burst into tears, "Thank you, mother. You can go back with the third brother. Go slowly on the way."

The car started slowly.

The two of them were still waving outside the window.

Jiang Qingyue had no time to feel sad, as she had to rush everyone to the train station to catch the train.

It was Wang Xiuhe’s first time out of the county and also her first time taking a train. Everything she saw seemed new to her.

Although He Tiantian is usually very smart, this is her first time traveling far away.

So Jiang Qingyue still has to take care of both big and small matters.

Fortunately, they were able to buy sleeper tickets thanks to the help of Ms. Ma from the newspaper.

Only after they got on the berth, put their luggage away, and sat down did the three of them breathe a sigh of relief.

Wang Xiuhe was still a little nervous. "I was scared just now. I saw everyone else running away, fearing that the two children would be squeezed. Fortunately, there were not many people in this sleeper car."

He Tiantian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Qingyue is still calm. Although we have never been far away from home, Qingyue knows everything."

Jiang Qingyue laughed dryly and said, "I heard it from others. It's my first time riding a train, too."

It takes a day and a night to get to Beijing from here, which means we won’t arrive until tomorrow morning.

Fortunately, everyone brought enough food, and the two children were relatively well-behaved and did not make trouble at night.

After getting enough sleep and sitting enough, Wang Xiuzhi would stroll in the corridor with her child in her arms, and time passed quickly.

Early the next morning.

The train arrived in Beijing on time.

Several people were very excited.

"Auntie, Qingyue, the two of you should each hold one child tightly, and let me carry the luggage. I'm very strong."

Beijing is the terminal station and also the largest station in the country.

As soon as they got off the car, they were shocked by the crowds outside.

"Oh my god, why are there so many people at the train station in Beijing? There are more than all the people in our brigade combined."

"Hey, Qingyue, look quickly, why do I feel that the person in front of me looks familiar?"
