Li Aihong nodded, "Can you sit down?"
Li Ming counted and said, "It doesn't matter if there's not enough room to sit. We can just take turns walking for a while along the way."
A few of them decided to go to the brigade to ask Li Xianjin for a letter of introduction, and after it was issued, they rushed to Yancheng.
It would be more convenient if there was a bathhouse in the town, but unfortunately there wasn't one, so they had to go to Yancheng.
Before they left the village, they ran into Zhao Lai Di, who was with a young man who had been educated. Seeing them, they quickly moved away. The group was baffled, and although they hadn't thought much about it, their actions aroused their suspicions.
However, they were soon replaced by the excitement of going to Yancheng. Along the way, several people talked about their lives in the past few days and expressed their feelings.
Li Ming said, "I've heard that life in the countryside is hard, but I never thought it was true. If it weren't for the money and food coupons my mother gave me, I would have starved to death."
This was true. Then Bai Ruozhen remembered something else. She still had money and food coupons.
But he soon became discouraged. Even if that little bit of money and food coupons could solve the problem temporarily, how long could it last?
Everyone else on the road was laughing, but Bai Ruozhen looked indifferent, as if he had no interest in what they were saying. Li Ming originally wanted to show off in front of Bai Ruozhen, but after talking for a long time, he didn't make Bai Ruozhen laugh, but made the others laugh instead, which made him feel a little depressed.
Bai Ruozhen didn't know what was wrong with him. He felt a little uncomfortable when he left Gu's house. He thought of Gu Xiaoli and Qiu Lanying, and then he thought of Gu Changqing.
To be honest, she had only met Gu Changqing a few times, and most of her understanding of him came from Gu Xiaoli.
But today, as soon as Qiu Lanying opened her mouth, she realized why. She didn't think that the way she looked now could make anyone like her enough to marry her home and worship her as a descendant.
Gu Xiaoli returned home from Li Xianjin's house and immediately looked for Bai Ruozhen. After searching for her but not finding her anywhere, she asked her mother, "Where's my sister Zhenzhen?"
Qiu Lanying was also puzzled. She was thinking about what she said wrong. In fact, what she wanted to ask was whether Bai Ruozhen was willing to marry her fifth son. Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, Bai Ruozhen said something and ran away so quickly that she didn't have time to react.
"I think she misunderstood." Qiu Lanying looked at Gu Xiaoli and said, "Why don't you go and take a look?"
Gu Xiaoli was stunned after hearing her mother's description, and then continued, "There are two possibilities. One is that she is not interested in my fifth brother and directly rejected him. The second is that she felt that you did not want her to marry my fifth brother, so she left before you told her to leave him."
Qiu Lanying was surprised. "Which one do you think it is?"
Gu Xiaoli frowned and shook her head, "I don't know." In fact, she was very conflicted now. On the one hand, she hoped that Bai Ruozhen would marry her fifth brother and live a comfortable life at home in the future. On the other hand, she felt that her fifth brother was not worthy of her master. Although she and her fifth brother were close relatives in terms of blood relationship, in her heart she was on the same side as her master.
Now that this kind of thing has happened, she actually has a vague feeling in her heart that perhaps her master is concerned about her fifth brother.
Gu Xiaoli didn't plan to tell her mother about this conclusion. She stood up and said, "I'll go see her." She was really afraid that her master would cry secretly.
Unfortunately, Bai Ruozhen was not found at the educated youth point. After asking around, I found out that Bai Ruozhen had actually gone to Yancheng.
Gu Xiaoli was very disappointed.
As for Bai Ruozhen, who made Gu Xiaoli worried, she really didn't cry secretly this time. She just looked a little unhappy. All the way she was thinking about how good Qiu Lanying was to her and the last words.
It was not until they arrived in Yancheng that Bai Ruozhen came to life. The last time they came to Yancheng was when they came here, but it was late at night and he didn't look carefully. When he left the next day, he was too excited and didn't look carefully. Now when he looked at it again, he was a little disappointed, because Yancheng was much more dilapidated than the provincial capital. However, the provincial capital was the capital of Lu Province, and the living conditions were always better than those in Yancheng.
Xu Dahe had been to Yancheng several times, and Li Aihong and Wang Jun also often came to the bathhouse here. However, since they had come to Yancheng with great difficulty, they had to buy some daily necessities to take back. Bai Ruozhen thought that she had not written a letter to her family for a long time, so she wanted to buy some stationery and pen to take back. She didn't know if it was because she was not a good student in her previous life, but she didn't even think of bringing paper and pen when she came, and she even forgot to write a letter to her family to report her safety.
It seems quite inappropriate.
Now that they were at the department store, Xu Dahe said, "Gu Changqing's fourth sister works as a salesperson here, selling fabrics and other things. If you want to buy anything, I can take you there. We're from the same village, so she'll generally take care of you if she can."
When Bai Ruozhen heard Gu Changqing's name, her eyes first lit up, then dimmed. Why think so much? Not to mention that Gu Changqing's fourth sister didn't know her, even if she knew her, what would happen? Aunt Qiu almost said it clearly, she had to face the reality.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Guixia nudged Bai Ruozhen and whispered, "I'm planning to buy some stationery to write a letter to my boyfriend."
Bai Ruozhen was startled to see Zhu Guixia's face flushed with shock, and couldn't help asking, "Is your partner in the city?"
Zhu Guixia smiled shyly, then nodded, "Yes, in the city, we agreed. When I came here, he said he would find a way to get me back to the city."
"Think of a way?" Bai Ruozhen was a little stunned. This was what Bai Ruoxin had said when she was trying to trick her before. However, the truth was that Bai Ruoxin had no intention of letting her go back at all. She even wished that she would never go back in her life.
Bai Ruozhen frowned, "Since you can think of a solution, why not think of it in advance?"
Zhu Guixia was stunned, not expecting her to say that. Then she said, "Maybe... maybe there wasn't any other solution back then." She said this, but she felt a little uneasy. Her boyfriend's family was well-off; if they could have found a solution, they would have thought of it long ago. Why hadn't he sent her any news when she went to the countryside? And why hadn't she received any letters from him in all the time she'd been there?
