Chapter 80: Pretty girl, I like you so much

Xiuzhu's face turned green when she got off the train. They arrived at Guangcheng Railway Station at 9 a.m., and it was already 9 p.m. when they arrived in Yutian County.

And this is because there is a jeep to pick up...

What was even more shocking was that their residence in Yutian County was too simple.

She had thought that the environment here was not good, but this kind of environment was still beyond her expectations.

The entire county town is generally made up of mud-walled and thatched houses, with only a few brick and tile houses.

To be honest, although this is a county, it doesn't look as good as the rural areas near Beijing.

The place where they lived was a brick house specially prepared for his father, a big leader, but it looked a bit old from the outside.

The leaders who come here don’t stay long, and this house always has new owners coming and going.

According to the guards' gossip, not long after the last leader moved in, his wife said she didn't want to stay anymore and wanted a divorce, so he quickly tried to find a way to use his connections to transfer her out.

"Hey, let's eat some dry food left on the train first. I'll go and clean up." Ye Yunrong broke the quiet atmosphere in the room.

The three of them couldn't just stand there. The house had been empty for a year. Even though they knew they were coming and sent someone to clean it in advance, it was still not clean enough. Not to mention their daughter, even she couldn't just lie down and sleep.

Seeing this, Lin Zhongjun hurried out to fetch water, and then took over the heavy work.

Xiuzhu and her mother were cleaning the bedroom. It was too late and they were very tired after sitting on the train for several days. They had to wait until the next morning to clean the kitchen.

The house is not big, about 60 square meters, with two bedrooms and a kitchen, but it doesn't even have a separate bathroom. The previous owner built a simple bathroom outside, which needs to be cleaned up again tomorrow. No one has lived there for more than a year, and it was made of thatch, so it collapsed a long time ago.

Xiuzhu lay on a chair, eating the biscuits she brought from Yucheng. She felt choked, but she had worked for half a day and had not eaten properly on the train, so she was already very hungry.

"I'll cook noodles for you tomorrow morning. It's too late today, so please be patient." Lin Zhongjun felt heartbroken when he saw his daughter's face had obviously become thinner and she could only nibble on biscuits with her eyes wide open.

Ye Yunrong borrowed some hot water from the neighbor, then prepared three cups of milk powder and called the two people in the house to get it. "One cup of milk powder per person to supplement your nutrition. I borrowed some hot water from next door. Let's simply wipe our bodies, wash up and go to bed first. We can talk about the rest tomorrow morning."

"Okay," the person in the room responded tiredly.

After washing up, Xiuzhu lay down on the bed. She smelled the sweet smell of pine resin. She thought, fortunately the family who lived there before only had one bed and her room was new, otherwise she would definitely feel uncomfortable lying in a place where someone else had slept.

She was obviously very tired, but still couldn't fall asleep. She tossed and turned, wondering what to do next. Should she just stay at home and do nothing every day like she did in Yucheng?

Is her youth going to be wasted like this?

And Gu Yu, will he come to see me?

In the car, she asked the guard and learned that there were only a few telephones in the entire county. Apart from the telephones provided in each unit, ordinary people like them could only go to the post office if they wanted to use one.

"Oh." In the darkness, Xiuzhu couldn't help but sighed helplessly.

…

The next morning, when Xiuzhu woke up, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning. She had insomnia last night and didn't know what time she fell asleep.

Ye Yunrong felt sorry for her daughter for not getting enough rest in the past few days, so she didn't come to disturb her in the morning. Since there was nothing to do at home anyway, she let her daughter sleep until she woke up naturally.

Seeing her daughter coming out to wash, she hurried to observe her face. Seeing that she looked much more energetic than yesterday, she finally let go of her worries. "You're awake. Are you hungry? Mom will go cook noodles for you right away."

"Well, thank you, Mom." Xiuzhu was washing her face and brushing her teeth in the yard. Fortunately, the weather in Guangcheng was warm and the yard was spacious. She felt pretty good.

After washing up, she sat at the dining table waiting for breakfast. She raised her hand and touched her empty stomach. She was indeed a little hungry. She hadn't eaten properly for several days.

The fragrant clear soup noodles were quickly prepared, with a poached egg on top. Xiuzhu was afraid of the heat, so she ate the egg in small bites first. The aroma of the food instantly filled her mouth.

She looked up and saw the food piled up next to the cupboard. She asked curiously, "Mom, why did you buy so much food so early in the morning? Salted fish, dried shrimps, and eggs. Are things easier to buy here than in Yucheng?"

Ye Yunrong felt warm at heart when she mentioned this. She smiled and talked about what happened in the morning. "Haha, most of these were sent by neighbors. I exchanged the eggs for the brown sugar at home."

Although this place is remote and even backward and poor, the neighbors are all very easy to get along with and very warm.

I chatted with them in the morning and they told me a lot about the local customs and habits. People here make a living by going out to sea to fish, and almost every family has this skill.

Moreover, due to its remoteness and lax control, no one cares about their fishing. Although the grain output is low, they will not starve to death by relying on these fish.

After the chat, the enthusiastic neighbors gave her these home-cooked meals and invited her to go to the supply and marketing cooperative at noon.

"Can I go with you?"

Xiuzhu was curious and wanted to go with them to take a look. But when they arrived in Yutian County last night, it was already dark and they couldn’t see the city clearly.

"Okay, after you finish your meal and change your clothes, let's go over with Aunt Baihua next door." Ye Yunrong wanted her daughter to go out for a walk and integrate into the life here as soon as possible. It would be the best thing for their family.

She already knew the reason why her husband was in a hurry to come here. After all, it was she who had implicated her daughter. Now they didn't know how long they would have to stay here.

"Sister, you are so thoughtful"

“Slippery and white like pig cake”

Xiuzhu...

This local aunt was very enthusiastic. She touched her face and her hair, but she couldn't understand a word she said.

Besides, the other person seemed quite kind, and she was a stranger in the place, so she was too embarrassed to hide and could only smile awkwardly.

Cai Baihua could see the girl's discomfort and quickly translated what A Lian said, "She was praising your beauty and your fair and tender skin."

"Thank you." Xiuzhu thanked with a blushing face, a little shy.

The people here all looked at her with strange expressions, as if a peach had suddenly appeared in a potato field.

That's right, she is fair-skinned, the temperature here is high all year round, and everyone loves to go fishing. In comparison, she looks like a bright light bulb when she walks on the street...

"Pretty girl, you are so pretty. I like you so much."

"You look so pretty today"

Xiuzhu didn't even dare to look up when she walked on the street. People here are so open-minded. Wouldn't she be considered a hooligan if she confessed her love on the street?

Ah Lian liked this new pretty girl very much and yelled at the crowd, "Stay away, you bastards, and don't tickle the girl."

Yutian County is very small, and the young men all knew that Aunt A Lian had a violent temper. They were so scared that they dared not to follow her any further and ran away.

Xiuzhu gave Aunt Alian a sincere smile.

The little girl had bright eyes and white teeth when she smiled, which charmed A-Lian so much that she secretly touched her little hands and face. In short, she loved her very much.

Ye Yunrong followed behind with amusement, looking at her daughter's embarrassment, but did not stop her. She could see that Xiuzhu was not averse to A Lian, and she was willing to see her make some friends.
