The news that Qin Feng's family was leaving with Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu spread throughout Qinjiagou that very night, and it was then that people realized they hadn't seen Qin Feng for some time.
Starting in the afternoon, the Qin family received groups of people, each one asking Qin Feng why he was leaving.
Qin Feng spoke frankly to those families with whom he had a good relationship and who always remembered his kindness. As for those ungrateful wretches, Qin Feng only glanced at them, smoked his cigarette, and remained silent.
Upon seeing this, the visitor realized that he hadn't been behaving properly these past few days, and could only leave awkwardly, then inquire about the news from people he was on good terms with.
Qin Xiaoxiao's side also welcomed several groups of people, the first being Aunt Liu and Aunt Song.
"Xiaoxiao, are you really leaving? Are your uncles and the others going with you?"
"Going to the capital? I heard Su Lu was transferred to the capital to work as a driver?"
Qin Xiaoxiao had a good impression of the two aunts and nodded with a smile, "That's right. We're leaving in two days. Even if you didn't come, I would have gone to tell you two in person tomorrow."
Once we've settled down and made our way in the capital, I'll write to you. If you need anything, just write and let me know, and I'll see if I can get it for you in the capital and mail it to you.
Aunt Liu and Aunt Song felt comforted by these words, but they didn't think about asking Qin Xiaoxiao to bring them anything from the capital. After all, they were outsiders and didn't even know the ways of the capital. They didn't have the connections to buy rare items, and they wouldn't need her for ordinary things.
"Okay, we're relieved to hear that. But we don't know when you'll be back. Don't forget about us."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, "Of course, how could I forget the two aunties who were the first to show me kindness when I returned to the village? Of course I can't forget them."
Aunt Liu and Aunt Song sat for a while longer. When they saw that more people were coming, they quickly got up and left, saying that they would see her off when she left and that they would wait for them to arrive before leaving.
The second group consisted of educated youth from the designated educated youth settlements.
Among these people, Lü Zhaodi was particularly envious of Qin Xiaoxiao, but she only had envy in her eyes and nothing else. Qin Xiaoxiao could guess what the others were thinking. They just wanted to know how Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu got transferred to the capital and whether they could help them out. They didn't want to work and just wanted to leave from here.
Qin Xiaoxiao never tolerated these kinds of people; she would immediately give them a piece of her mind and confront them until they were red-faced and fled in panic before she would stop.
Jiang Jiaqi was unexpectedly among the third group of people; she had spent time with Mu Jin and the others.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Jin.
Mu Jin gave her a look that said "turn around and talk," and Qin Xiaoxiao didn't ask any more questions, instead chatting happily with everyone.
Qin Xiaoxiao's attitude towards Jiang Jiaqi was better than that towards the others, which surprised Jiang Jiaqi. She didn't understand why Qin Xiaoxiao treated her differently than the others, since she didn't have much interaction with her.
In fact, Qin Xiaoxiao had her own purpose. She coveted Jiang Jiaqi's space, thinking about whether she could get something else from her. After leaving Qinjiagou, she had almost no contact with Jiang Jiaqi, so it wouldn't be easy to get good things from her again.
"Sigh, actually Su Lu and I don't want to leave either. Here, my second aunt works at the supply and marketing cooperative, and sometimes she can help us get things like milk powder and malted milk powder to nourish our bodies. It's also easy to get woolen fabrics, and we can even buy cold cream with broken bottle caps."
Going to Beijing would be a completely unfamiliar place for me. I'd really like to smuggle it... but I don't have any milk powder coupons. Where am I supposed to get them? Just thinking about it makes me anxious. If only I could smuggle it... ah, if only there were more stock! I could buy more, enough milk powder for the next two years, and also some yarn and other daily necessities. Then I wouldn't have to worry for the next ten years.
After saying that, Qin Xiaoxiao sighed loudly again, glancing at Jiang Jiaqi out of the corner of her eye, looking forward to her performance.
Sure enough, after Qin Xiaoshuo finished speaking, Jiang Jiaqi's eyes lit up at first, then quickly dimmed, and her face also showed a look of distress, just like everyone else's.
"That's right, without knowing anyone, these things are really hard to buy."
"The yarn I had last time was brought back by Qin, a young intellectual. It was of good quality, and it won't be easy to get it again in the future."
"After Qin Zhiqing left, our quality of life will probably drop a notch, because it will be too difficult to get goods."
"There's a shortage all over the country, and there's nothing we can do about it. Even if we wanted to, there wouldn't be many supplies available there."
"That's because Qin, the educated youth, has plenty of money and can still get some. As for me, my pockets are emptier than my face, so even if I had money, I couldn't afford it!"
...
Qin Xiaoxiao and the others sighed, expressing their longing for these supplies and their helplessness at not being able to get anything good after leaving.
After the performance, everyone dispersed. Mu Jin stayed behind and whispered to Qin Xiaoxiao, "Jiang Jiaqi is a pretty good person. When she was pursuing Dong Hao, she didn't pester him but actively showed her strengths, which shows that her values are correct. You don't have to worry about being betrayed by her when dealing with her."
After leaving a message, Mu Jin quickly departed, closing the door behind her. Qin Xiaoxiao sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) lost in thought.
It seems that her fellow villager is quite nice. Although she knows that Dong Hao is the male lead and will eventually rise to power, she doesn't cling to him. Instead, like a modern girl, she uses her talent to attract him and slowly draws him into the love web she has woven.
Qin Xiaoxiao felt relieved.
It seems Jiang Jiaqi won't cause any more trouble, so she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Since she wasn't the female lead, she didn't need to bother dealing with her. Besides, the two had no grudges, and Jiang Jiaqi had indirectly helped her, so she didn't need to take action against her.
Let her do her thing here. As long as she doesn't go astray, as a modern person, she'll definitely catch up in a couple of years. Maybe one day she'll even run into her again.
As for Qin Erya in the village, Qin Xiaoxiao was even less worried. Even if she was reborn, it seemed that she was not very old when she died in her previous life, or that she lacked experience. Otherwise, she would not have just separated from the family instead of trying to leave this place and escape her original family.
It's good that she doesn't have much experience; that way, she won't do anything reckless, and she'll save herself some trouble.
That evening, Su Yu, heavily pregnant, came over with Zou Jing.
"That's great, I really envy you. You can leave soon, but I have to wait a while before I can go."
Su Yu touched her belly, her little face scrunched up like a steamed bun.
Zou Jing glanced at Su Yu helplessly, "You've said it several times these past two days, that you'd leave after giving birth. What if something happens to you on the way now?"
Zou Jing frowned as he looked at Su Yu's belly.
You're already over six months pregnant, can't you wait another three months? Leave after your postpartum period; that would be better for both you and the baby.
Su Yu pouted unhappily, "I miss home."
Pregnant women are naturally prone to tears, and as Su Yu spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. Zou Jing was so anxious that he kept pacing back and forth, not knowing how to comfort her.
