Bai Liqiang used all his strength to rush into the circle of women, and rushed to the front amid the screams and curses of the women. He asked for two bars of soap, two towels, a bottle of ghee, an enamel pot, a small mirror for dressing, and even a nice hairband.
In other words, the sales girl didn't bother him because he looked good and brought him everything. But this made the aunties very angry. Next time, they would have to bring their sons with them so that it would be easier for them to buy things.
Bai Liqiang used up all the tickets Li Qiulan brought with him with his face, and finally squeezed out. Li Qiulan was so happy to see the things her son was carrying that she patted Bai Liqiang and gave him a thumbs up, "Son, that's great."
Bai Liqiang was also very happy. This was the first time his mother had praised him in his life, so he quickly said, "All we need is a thermos. But it's hard to buy."
"Don't worry, Mom has talked to your Aunt Huang and she will help me get one." Li Qiulan was happy. After checking that the things Bai Liqiang bought were to her liking, the mother and daughter prepared to go back.
I didn't expect to be stopped by a girl just after leaving the department store, "Hey, Bai Ruozhen, remember to ask me to go to school with you when school starts."
Bai Ruozhen racked his brain and came to a conclusion. This girl turned out to be one of the original owner's few friends, Pei Guohong. They were in the same class and usually went to school together. However, Pei Guohong had been back to her grandmother's house in the countryside since winter break. She probably just returned now and had no idea that Bai Ruozhen would be going back to the countryside after the New Year.
"Guohong, I won't go to school after the New Year." Bai Ruozhen said, holding Pei Guohong's hand.
Pei Guohong glanced at her and felt that there was something different about her good friend. "What else can you do if you don't go to school?"
Bai Ruozhen thought about the original owner's opinion on going to the countryside, and sounded quite proud when he spoke, "I'm going to the countryside, to replace my eldest sister."
"You're going?" Pei Guohong looked surprised. "But you still have six months until graduation. Didn't we agree that after graduation we would go to the countryside together and try to get assigned to the same place?" The girl became angry as she spoke. "Why don't you keep your word?"
Li Qiulan, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "It's not Ruozhen's fault. Our family has some special circumstances, so Ruozhen had no choice but to go to the countryside."
Pei Guohong felt better when she heard that it wasn't specifically directed at her. "Really?"
Bai Ruozhen nodded quickly.
Pei Guohong's rain cleared up, and she happily took Bai Ruozhen's hand and said, "Ruozhen, where are you going to go to the countryside? I'll try to get assigned there when the time comes."
Bai Ruozhen was stunned and looked at Li Qiulan. She didn't know where to go either.
Li Qiulan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know yet, probably in the next two days."
Pei Guohong didn't care, waved his hand and said, "Okay, see you then."
After Pei Guohong left, Li Qiulan and Bai Ruozhen went home. On the way, Li Qiulan said, "Ruozhen, I suddenly remembered that Pei Guohong's uncle works in the Revolutionary Committee. Why don't you go find her and ask her uncle to help you get assigned to the suburbs of our city?"
"That's not good," Bai Ruozhen frowned and said, "Besides, the notice might arrive today. It's a bit late to tell us now."
Li Qiulan thought about it and felt a little guilty. "It's all my fault. If I had reminded you earlier, maybe you would have been assigned to the suburbs."
When the mother and her two children returned home, they saw a clerk from their local street office coming out of the house.
The three of them looked at each other and thought about going to the countryside. As expected, the clerk said, "I've notified you to leave at home. You have to leave on the fifth day of the New Year. Don't miss the time."
"Okay." Li Qiulan smiled and sent the person away, then pulled the siblings into the house.
Bai Ruoxin was holding the notice in the room and looking at it. When she saw them come in, she angrily threw the notice away and went into the inner room.
"This kid has absolutely no manners." Li Qiulan cursed and picked up the notice. She immediately said happily, "Oh, Zhenzhen, you're pretty lucky. Although it's not in the surrounding suburbs, it's not out of the province either. It's still by the sea."
Bai Ruozhen was stunned. The beach is great?
Well, that's not bad. She had never lived by the sea in her previous life. So she nodded and said, "Oh."
Then Li Qiulan said, "Zhenzhen, Yancheng is only about ten hours away from here by train. Please take a leave and come home during the New Year holidays. Mom will make you something delicious."
When Bai Ruozhen heard about the delicious food, he felt better. He nodded heavily and said with a smile, "Yeah, okay."
"What's good about that? It would be best if the sea breeze blows you into the sea." Bai Ruoxin in the inner room was so angry that her heart ached. In her opinion, it would be best if Bai Ruozhen was assigned to a remote area, and the farther away from home the better. Why was he assigned to the province? Why was he assigned to Yancheng? God is really blind.
Bai Ruozhen glanced into the inner room, pouted and said nothing.
But precisely because of this, Li Qiulan felt that her second daughter had been wronged and her eldest daughter had gone too far. She walked to the door, lifted the curtain, and shouted inside, "Bai Ruoxin, if you say something like that again, I'll tear your mouth apart. You can't even keep quiet on New Year's Day."
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? I just said something, is it that serious?" Bai Ruoxin jumped up from the bed in anger. She was already going crazy with anger. Why, why is Bai Ruozhen so lucky? Why did his parents like Bai Ruozhen since he was a child? Why could he be assigned to the province after going to the countryside?
But she didn't think that she was the one who should have gone to the countryside. She just felt that she was unhappy that Bai Ruozhen was not assigned to the remote countryside, so she was furious and didn't care about anything else.
"I think you deserve to be punished." Li Qiulan rolled up her sleeves, picked up the broom and went in.
