Chapter 4 Don't forget to check my college entrance examination results
“Woo…”
The train roared, and with a clanging sound and a cloud of black smoke, it went straight into the distance.
At the only railway station in the county, two middle-aged men watched the train going away, their faces filled with reluctance.
Although one of them was wearing new clothes, his every move and gesture was more like a middle-aged farmer, and there was a trace of tears in his eyes.
The middle-aged man standing next to him, wearing a half-new Zhongshan suit with four pockets, said with a smile: "Brother, Xuyuan will have a city hukou when he leaves, and it will be a Yanjing hukou."
"Besides, this job has been arranged for him. From now on, he will be a government employee with a guaranteed income. You should be happy for him."
Cheng Xuyuan's father, Cheng Jiaxing, touched his eyes and said with a smile, "I am happy, but... I don't know if he can adapt to it over there."
"Why can't you adapt? Shen Yumo came to our place at a young age, and he also adapted to it, didn't he?"
Cheng Jiadong glanced at his second brother and said, "Don't worry, Xuyuan is a smart guy. Besides, there is the Shen family in Beijing!"
Cheng Jiaxing hesitated for a moment and said, "Once he leaves, Shen Yumo will no longer be his wife. I wonder if the Shen family will still remember their old relationship. Can they take care of him?"
"Brother, when we got married, Shen Yumo had no other options, so she had a fake marriage with Xu Yuan. Although we are getting divorced now, the Shen family still remembers this favor."
"That's why I took advantage of the fact that we were still in the process of getting divorced and asked Cheng Xuyuan to move to Yanjing with me. I also found him a job."
"Even if we get divorced, the Shen family will remember this love. If Xuyuan has difficulties in the future, they will definitely help him."
After hearing the consolation from his younger brother who works in the county, Cheng Jiaxing felt relieved.
No matter what, the child finally escaped from the life of working in the fields and became the city dweller he had always dreamed of being.
You will no longer have to worry about food and drink, as you will have food supplies.
"Brother, let's go home. I have a bottle of good wine here. Let's drink it together and celebrate." Seeing that his second brother's expression was no longer as solemn as before, Cheng Jiadong smiled and changed the subject.
Cheng Jiaxing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll stay at your house tonight. I have to rush back early tomorrow morning. My second uncle is organizing a river digging project. If I'm late, I'll definitely be scolded."
"By the way, Jiadong, you work at the County Education Commission, so you must keep an eye on your nephew's college entrance examination results."
"He reminded me several times before he left."
Cheng Jiadong couldn't help but frown. He knew very well the level of his nephew.
Although he went to junior high school, he basically spent those three years herding cattle.
When he signed up for the college entrance examination, he himself disagreed.
Now he is still thinking about asking me to focus on my grades. Does he really think that he can get into university after one month of review with the few review materials I gave him?
Hey, what is this child thinking?
Although he thought so in his heart, looking at his brother's serious expression, he nodded and promised: "Brother, Xuyuan also reminded me before he left."
"Don't worry, I will tell you the first time the scores come out."
Cheng Jiaxing then nodded and said, "Okay, then you have to worry more about it!"
"Brother, don't be polite with me. Don't worry, this matter is related to when our Cheng family can have the first college student." Cheng Jiadong said with a hint of sarcasm.
Cheng Jiaxing smiled and said nothing.
As night fell, the two brothers pushed a half-worn bicycle and slowly walked towards the direction of the light in the night...
Lying on the rumbling berth, Cheng Xuyuan's heart was wandering.
Sometimes it was the prosperity and hard work of the previous life, sometimes it was the owner's memories, and there was also the scene of parting with the owner's family today.
From these scenes, Cheng Xuyuan could feel the host’s family’s reluctance to let him go, but more importantly, they were happy that he was moving towards a new life.
Touching the stack of bills sewn into his shorts, Cheng Xuyuan sighed.
Although Shen Yulin took the responsibility and said that he would take care of everything after Cheng Xuyuan arrived in Yanjing, my parents still forced me to give them 100 yuan and 50 kilograms of national food coupons.
At that time, when the average wage of workers was only 40 or 50 yuan, this was not a small amount.
While he was daydreaming, Cheng Xuyuan couldn't help but think of Shen Yumo.
I don’t know if it was intentional, but although Shen Yulin and Shen Yumo’s sleeper tickets were in the same carriage as Cheng Xuyuan, they were not in the same room.
Although it is possible that the tickets were difficult to buy, Cheng Xuyuan would rather believe that his cheap brother-in-law did it on purpose.
After all, no one would want their beautiful sister to stay with a pig.
Moreover, the pig had obtained legal procedures. This pig was young and strong, and its blood was boiling.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't want to judge who was right or wrong between the master and Shen Yumo, but according to his estimation, if the two continued to entangle, there would be no good result.
It's better to part ways in peace! Besides, what Shen Yumo did was quite considerate.
Cheng Xuyuan fell asleep in a daze.
"Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng!"
When Cheng Xuyuan heard someone calling him, he couldn't help but think of the situation in the examination room.
Could it be that this time, I have to go back to the time before I traveled through time? If that were the case...
"Xiao Cheng, wake up! We are almost at the station! It's time to get off!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan opened his eyes reluctantly and saw Shen Yulin's face that looked a little tired yet a little happy.
Yanjing, we finally arrived! Carrying his luggage, Cheng Xuyuan followed Shen Yulin off the train in a daze.
Unlike Cheng Xuyuan, the moment Shen Yumo stepped off the train, tears began to flow from her beautiful eyes.
"Second sister, coming back is a happy thing, so don't cry. If you cry, I will feel bad too." Shen Yulin advised in a rough voice.
But from his words, one could also sense that he was a little choked up.
Cheng Xuyuan sighed and wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn't know how to start.
After all, this is the daughter-in-law that my previous life wanted to divorce!
Shen Yumo, on the other hand, silently shed tears for a while, then wiped away the tears and said: "Brother, this is a happy thing."
There were clerks wearing jackets with four pockets and carrying faux leather bags; farmers like Cheng Xuyuan, carrying various local specialties in a urea bag; and students carrying khaki backpacks, faces full of hope... These people walked out of the carriage, gathered into a stream of people, and walked out of the station.
"Yumo, second sister!"
"Second sister, I finally got you back!"
Two men and women who looked to be in their thirties rushed over quickly after seeing Shen Yumo. The woman even held Shen Yumo's hand tightly and refused to let go.
Shen Yumo, who had just stopped crying, couldn't help crying after the woman held his hand.
In this situation, Cheng Xuyuan felt like an outsider.
Fortunately, Shen Yulin said, "Sister, let's not waste time at the station."
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get home!"
The man in his thirties regained his composure at this point, and immediately said with a smile: "Yulin is right, my parents are waiting anxiously at home, let's go home quickly!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "This is Xiao Cheng, right? Let's go have a meal together. My parents said they want to thank you for taking care of our second sister."
I feel awkward with the four of you. I don’t know how awkward I would be if I were the only outsider in the whole family!
So Cheng Xuyuan shook his head firmly and said, "Brother Yulin has already given me the letter of introduction and transfer procedures, so I'd better report first."
"I'll visit my uncle and aunt after I'm settled."
As he spoke, he walked out with his bag.
Shen Yumo looked at Cheng Xuyuan who turned and left, and suddenly felt that this young man who had always been infatuated with her seemed to have grown up a lot.
Shen Yulin was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after Cheng Xuyuan.
