Chapter 119 If you don’t run now, when will you run? …
The other party was mad at Ge Guifen, but he couldn't do anything about her. He couldn't win the argument, so he could only feel jealous.
After showing off enough, Ge Guifen took her things and went home. As she walked, she rolled down her sleeves and muttered, "I'm freezing to death."
After I got home, I put everything away.
This year, everyone had a very happy time.
For the educated youth who passed the exam, if their positions became vacant, someone had to be arranged to take their place.
Zhou Xian and Wang Xuemei were also packing their things, and Ge Guifen was almost stuffing her belongings into Zhou Xian's bag.
"Mom, you don't need to bring these." Zhou Xian took out the things that he would not use.
Ge Guifen sighed, "Is it really useless?"
"Is it really useless?"
"Isn't this quilt too thin? I wonder if it's cold in Beijing in winter? Dad, turn the radio to Beijing and listen to the weather there."
Zhou Shoujun also came over and asked, "Dad, is the weather good in the provincial capital?"
Ge Guifen slapped him away.
I used to think the provincial capital was quite far away, but now that my daughter is going to Beijing, it feels even farther away.
Besides, it’s relatively convenient to come back from the provincial capital, but it’s different in Beijing. I don’t know how long it will take to go back and forth.
"Why don't you ask your dad to take you there? It's so inconvenient for you to go alone. Your third sister-in-law asked your third brother and Yiyi to take you there."
"No need mom, I can go by myself."
Zhou Xian rejected Comrade Ge Guifen's proposal.
Transportation is not well developed nowadays, and a round trip is not only troublesome but also expensive.
Zhou Xian is not afraid of spending money, but her father is not young anymore, so why bother him?
Comrade Ge Guifen sighed and started stuffing things into her bag again.
Since there was no more space, they stuffed it into Wang Xuemei's bag.
Zhou Xian could only take more out.
Wang Xuemei could only take it out silently. The aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other, their faces full of helplessness.
Hu Lanhua and Wu Xiufang helped to clean up.
As the eldest sister-in-law, Hu Lanhua said, "Don't worry about studying. Yiyi is at home and we two are taking care of her."
Although the man in the family knows how to do some housework, I still feel a little worried about relying on a grown man to take care of my daughter.
As school is about to start, it’s time for Zhou Xian and her friends to set off.
Although the provincial capital is closer than Beijing, we went together for fear of wasting time.
They took the same train, but Wang Xuemei and her friends got off at the provincial capital.
There were many educated youth on the bus going to school.
The train was not traveling very fast, and Wang Xuemei was reluctant to part with her daughter.
Since getting on the train, I have been sitting with my daughter in my arms.
Zhou Shoujun opened the lunch box and handed it to her and Zhou Xian. "Mom and my eldest and second sisters-in-law made it. They said we can have dumplings when we go out and noodles when we get home, so we can eat it on the way."
Zhou Xian took it, and Zhou Shoujun got up to get hot water.
The dumplings were filled with meat, and Ge Guifen went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them.
Zhou Xian didn't like the scene of separation, so he didn't send them to the train station, and let them go back when they arrived at the commune.
The feeling of separation was really not pleasant, especially for the third sister-in-law, who kept holding Yiyi, kissing her little face and her hands.
But she didn't dare say anything to her daughter. She just re-tied her hair and tied a pretty flower on it.
Yiyi is still young, but she knows that her mother has to go to school.
He is also very well behaved and never cries or makes a fuss.
Wang Xuemei passed the dumplings to her, and the little girl said, "Mom, eat it."
When they were almost at the provincial capital, Zhou Shoujun was about to get off the bus. He was really worried about his sister going to Beijing alone, so he naggled to Zhou Xian, "You can't leave the luggage alone, you need to be more careful, okay? Keep the money safe, you'll be on your own later, Beijing is far away, call the commune when you get there and ask someone to tell dad. Remember to write back, don't worry about home, we'll take care of your parents."
Zhou Xian responded with a smile, looking nonchalant, but when he saw his third brother and his wife taking the children off the train, his eyes became hot uncontrollably.
The train would stop for a while, so Zhou Shoujun and his companions did not leave immediately. They chatted with Zhou Xian for a while. Zhou Xian turned his head away and said, "I know. You should send your third sister-in-law to school as soon as possible."
As the time came, the train started moving again. Zhou Shoujun ran after the train for a while, feeling very uncomfortable.
He is the closest in age to his younger sister, and she has never been so far away from home since she was a child. Now she has to go to college suddenly. How can she not be sad?
But he couldn't catch up with the train. His pace slowed down and the train soon disappeared from his sight.
Wang Xuemei was waiting for him there, holding her child, her eyes also red.
Zhou Shoumin came back, picked up the luggage at her feet, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go too."
After leaving the train station, Zhou Shoumin couldn't help but ask, "Don't you really want to tell your family? It's a good thing that you got into college. They will definitely be happy for you."
From the few words Wang Xuemei had said before, Zhou Shoumin only knew that Wang Xuemei's biological mother died early, and her father married a stepmother. Her biological father became her stepfather and was very bad to her.
He thought that his father-in-law would definitely be happy for his daughter when he knew that she was admitted to university.
"No need, that home is different from ours." Wang Xuemei shook her head.
After so many years in the countryside, other educated youth's families would still send them letters, but that family never sent her a single letter. No, they did send her a letter, but they only remembered her when their family was having a hard time, and asked her to save money and leave some for their family.
She pretended not to see it, tore up the letter and threw it into the fire.
After that, there were no more letters from home, so we just thought she was dead.
Wang Xuemei once thought that this was a good thing so that she wouldn't have to get entangled with those people.
There was no such thing before, and there will be no such thing in the future.
Zhou Shoujun didn't know what to say. He just felt that she seemed always unhappy.
Perhaps it was because she was an educated youth and because of the rumors in the brigade, she had no choice but to marry him, a peasant.
"Don't think too much. You are fine. You are better than anyone else in that family." Wang Xuemei said.
She is not very good at comforting people, but after being married for so many years, Zhou Shoujun will understand her feelings.
Even the other people in Zhou's family are very nice. Even if the mother-in-law favors her sister-in-law, she will not blame other people in the family for this. And in the mother-in-law's heart, except for her sister-in-law, everyone else is treated equally.
Since she has a daughter of her own, she can understand her mother-in-law better.
She wanted the best for her daughter.
She was also very grateful to Zhou Shoujun because he did not look down on her or their daughter just because he did not give birth to a son.
She held the child in one hand and grabbed Zhou Shoujun's arm with the other. She looked at the school gate with a banner hanging on it and said with a smile, "Let's go in."
…
After sitting on the train for several days, Zhou Xian almost vomited on the train.
During this time, he got up to get some hot water, and as for the package, he just left it there casually.
There were quilts and basins inside. It was fine for her to lift them, but it would be so heavy for others to carry them, and they would not be able to run if they carried them on their backs.
As for valuables, she certainly wouldn't put them in the package since she had this good thing called system space.
Without his acquaintances, Zhou Xian became bolder. He felt really uncomfortable in the car, so he simply exchanged pills in the trading mall to relieve the pain.
It is said that this is a pill made in the world of cultivation. After taking one, one will feel refreshed, but it only works for three days.
This was enough for Zhou Xian. If she didn't eat, she would faint in the car. Her back and waist were sore from sitting there.
If you want to buy a sleeper ticket, you can't get it without some connections.
She propped her chin up and looked out the window, sighing dejectedly.
Later on, she was more casual about eating. When she was hungry, she would exchange some things from the mall. However, she still knew that she couldn't show off, so she just exchanged some steamed buns, and asked the system to help her disguise it as something ordinary, and it couldn't be hot, otherwise how could she explain that she had hot buns fresh out of the oven to eat on this train.
When they arrived at the station, Zhou Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to pick up his big package, a pair of hands reached out to him.
When Zhou Xian turned her head, she bumped into a pair of smiling eyes. Those eyes were like a pool of spring water, which almost melted her heart.
"Host, calm down, this is the male protagonist, you can't fall in love with him."
Zhou Xian suddenly came back to her senses, and a cold sweat broke out on her back. This male protagonist was too amazing. He could make her feel amorous at first sight.
If you don't run now, when will you run?
"No, I can do it myself." Zhou Xian refused the other party.
Unexpectedly, the male protagonist seemed not to hear it, and continued to talk to himself, "Don't be so stubborn, you girls are not as strong as us men, carrying this... this?"
The male protagonist tried, but failed to lift it.
Zhou Xian took it from him with a smile, "Thank you, you men are really not as strong as us girls."
As she said this, she threw the bag over herself and took the opportunity to slip away, leaving the male protagonist behind, almost petrified.
It was not peaceful after getting off the train. The system was just like the announcer, sometimes talking about the male lead, sometimes about the female lead, and there were also many male and female supporting roles. Zhou Xian's head was about to explode, so he asked the system to turn off the announcement.
"Why are there so many protagonists here?"
"It's normal. This world is originally a mixture of many novels. Moreover, period novels are the hardest hit in the college entrance examination. Aren't they all rushing to Beijing to go to college?"
"With so many protagonists, the top scorer in the college entrance examination must be very popular, right?" Zhou Xian couldn't help but sigh.
"No, the college entrance examination is divided by provinces, and the questions in each province are different. They are just the top scorers in the college entrance examination in their respective provinces. There is no conflict at all." The system explained.
Zhou Xian nodded and walked out of the station carrying his package. After all, it would look a bit strange to stand here without moving.
She had originally planned to go to school by herself and was asking the system to help her find the route, but she didn't expect that the school had already sent students to pick her up.
Seeing several people holding signs with the school’s name on them, Zhou Xian walked straight over.
Through communication, I learned that they were the first batch of students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, and the school still attached great importance to them. They also guessed that some students who lived too far away would come to report in advance, so they let them wait here.
Arrangements will be made to take them to school.
With someone leading the way, Zhou Xian felt much more relaxed.
However, he also rejected the senior's offer to help.
Seeing that she was carrying things easily, the senior thought that she didn't bring much, so he said, "If possible, ask your family to send some more clothes. It's still a bit cold here in Jing City in winter."
"No, no, I have a lot of things with me." Zhou Xian waved his hand to refuse.
When passing by the stairs, the senior kindly offered a hand, and Zhou Xian carried it away easily, leaving him stunned.
