Chapter 10 010 Don't Mess With Her
Qin Xiaoxiao was too lazy to pay attention to Miao Feifei and Huang Yuan. Just looking at them hurt her eyes. So after finishing her meal, Qin Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and started to rest.
Qin Xiaoxiao fell asleep peacefully in the noisy environment. Anyway, she didn't have much with her, and she didn't have any money on her, so she wasn't afraid of being robbed. As for the two scumbags beside her, it wasn't that she looked down on them, but she figured they wouldn't dare to steal anything, with so many people watching.
The night passed slowly, and Qin Xiaoxiao woke up at the crack of dawn the next day. She got up, went to the toilet, tidied herself up, and returned to her seat to eat breakfast.
Breakfast consisted of a pot of hot water, two egg pancakes, and an egg. After breakfast, there was an apple to eat.
After Qin Xiaoxiao finished her breakfast, the others woke up as well.
Then the whole carriage seemed to come alive, noisy and bustling. Everyone went to the toilet to line up, and some people saw that there were too many people at the toilet, so they chose to eat breakfast first. Then the hot water area also became crowded.
Qin Xiaoxiao squinted and smiled as she watched the people lining up to use the toilet and get hot water. She couldn't help but feel glad that she had woken up early and had the foresight to do so.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the train arrived at the Ping City Railway Station in Jilin Province, and Qin Xiaoxiao squeezed off the train with her net bag.
After exiting the platform, Qin Xiaoxiao carried her net bag to the bus stop next to her, paid two cents, and boarded the bus to the small train station.
Ping City has two train stations, one large and one small. The large train station is well-connected and has trains to all parts of the country, while the small train station has trains that run within the province and are slow trains, often taking three to four hours to travel between the two cities.
You can take a bus or a train from Pingshi to Hongxian. The train ticket is two cents more expensive than the bus ticket, but it's more comfortable and takes about an hour faster. Qin Xiaoxiao has plenty of money, so of course she chooses the most comfortable way to travel.
Qin Xiaoxiao was unaware that Miao Feifei had spotted her as she got up to get out of the car. Miao Feifei wanted to follow Qin Xiaoxiao and ride with her, but Qin Xiaoxiao didn't have much luggage and walked quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Miao Feifei was so anxious that she wanted to curse.
Losing Qin Xiaoxiao, Miao Feifei was extremely annoyed and had no choice but to turn around and help Huang Yuan carry his things.
Huang Yuan and Miao Feifei had prepared a lot of luggage, but they couldn't bear to spend money on shipping it, so they had to carry it themselves.
The two of them finally managed to get on the bus to Hong County after a lot of effort, only to find that Qin Xiaoxiao was not on the bus. Miao Feifei wondered where Qin Xiaoxiao had gone, but soon she began to gloat.
I let you go first, now look what happened, you've lost it!
Serves you right! You got all cocky. I hope some human traffickers kidnap you; if you don't, they'll knock you out and take you away, humph!
She was so happy she wanted to scream, but her face showed a worried expression.
"Brother Huang Yuan, I haven't seen Xiao Xiao. Where did she go? Is this the only bus to Hong County? She left first and hasn't arrived yet. Could something have happened to her?"
Huang Yuan's face was pale. He hadn't slept much all night and had gone through the difficult journey after getting off the train. It was no wonder he looked pale.
"Why bother with her? It's better if she's lost."
Miao Feifei looked reluctant, biting her lower lip and said softly, "Isn't this a bad idea? Why don't we go and tell the driver to wait a little longer?"
Huang Yuan waved his hand impatiently, "No need, her hometown is here, she won't get lost."
Miao Feifei was very satisfied with Huang Yuan's attitude towards Qin Xiaoxiao, but she did not show her joy on her face. Instead, she lowered her head and said in a sweet voice, "Well, then I'm relieved. I'll listen to Brother Huang Yuan."
Feeling smug at being relied upon, Huang Yuan's expression softened, and his patience returned. "It's alright. Maybe she has something to do, or she's on the next train. Don't worry. She treated you like that, even hit you. Why are you worried about her? Stay away from her in the future and don't provoke her."
In the end, he couldn't help but tell Miao Feifei not to provoke Qin Xiaoxiao, which made Miao Feifei want to slap him on the spot.
Was she trying to provoke Qin Xiaoxiao? It's all for your sake.
The other educated youths who had overheard the conversation exchanged glances, each with their own opinion.
Qin Xiaoxiao is not to be trifled with, and these two are no good either; we must stay away from them.
It takes twenty minutes to walk from the main train station to the small train, and only six or seven minutes by car. After getting off the car, Qin Xiaoxiao glanced back at the crowded bus and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, we got off the bus. Although it wasn't a long journey, it was a real ordeal. There were so many people on the bus, and some even brought their livestock on board. The smell was truly awful!
After arriving at the small train station smoothly, Qin Xiaoxiao waited for another half hour before the small train bound for Huzhen in Hong County arrived.
Why is it a small train? Because this train only runs between various counties and towns within the city, with four trips a day. It was specially built by the city's coal mines at their own expense for the workers' commutes.
Don't ask why I don't live near the coal mine. It's because living in the city is too expensive, and with so many people in my family, I can't afford it. But if I'm willing to work hard in the countryside, I won't have to worry about food, and I can still support my family.
You pay to board the mini-train. The money doesn't go to the state; the mine provides the attendants, and you just give the money to the attendant in charge of cleaning the carriages.
After a two-hour train ride, Qin Xiaoxiao got off the train smoothly. Carrying her net bag, she looked around, stopped a passerby to ask for directions, and then went to the educated youth settlement in Huzhen to report for duty.
When Qin Xiaoxiao arrived at the educated youth settlement, the other educated youth had not yet arrived. The people in charge of picking up the people from each brigade were sitting in a circle chatting. There were several oxcarts and mule carts parked in the courtyard of the educated youth settlement. The most conspicuous thing was a bicycle, which was stuck in the middle of a group of oxcarts and mule carts.
"Xiaoxiao, you've arrived. Quickly give me your things, I'll carry them."
Just as she finished looking around the educated youth compound, a tall man pounced on Qin Xiaoxiao and grabbed her net bag.
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and let go of his hand. "Big brother, are you here to pick up the new educated youth today?"
Qin Ye smiled and shook his head, then pointed to the crowd, "That's my dad. I came here specifically to pick you up."
Qin Xiaoxiao looked in the direction Qin Ye was pointing and saw a tall, burly middle-aged man with broad shoulders and a face that looked very much like Qin Ye walking quickly toward Qin Xiaoxiao with a smile.
"We've finally arrived. You must be tired after such a long drive. Hurry up and go home with your brother. Your grandma made you some chicken soup to help you recover. It'll be ready to eat when you get home."
The visitor was Qin Xiaoxiao's uncle, Qin Feng, the head of Qinjiagou Village.
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and squinted her eyes, sweetly calling out, "Grandpa."
Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao's smiling face, Qin Feng finally felt relieved.
Qin Feng laughed so hard his eyes almost disappeared. "Alright, alright, you guys hurry up and go. Don't waste time, or your grandpa and grandma will get worried."
Qin Xiaoxiao quickly replied, "I still need to get my luggage. I'll go over after I get it."
"Hurry up, Qin Ye, take your sister to the post office to pick up her luggage, put it on the oxcart, and then you and your sister can go first."
Qin Ye agreed, pushed his bicycle, and took Qin Xiaoxiao to the post office.
The five large bundles arrived the day before yesterday. Qin Xiaoxiao took them all out, and the brother and sister put them on the bicycle and tied them up. There were too many things to ride, so they could only push it.
Fortunately, the educated youth compound was not far from the post office, only a ten-minute walk away. The brother and sister finally managed to push their luggage to the educated youth compound, where Qin Feng was waiting at the entrance.
