Ye Shuning suddenly thought of the story in that period novel. When Li Shaozhong was the technical director here, something happened at home. He was implicated and was suspended and sent to the countryside for a period of time.
When I was in the countryside, I once fell ill and almost died. Although I survived, I suffered from sequelae and my health has been poor ever since.
Li Shaozhong was her savior, so perhaps she could help him in the future. But that was all for the future; right now, she had to find her own place to go.
Going back to her hometown is definitely not an option. She doesn't want to have any more entanglement with the original owner's uncle's family. She has to think about where to settle down in the future.
When Yan Jingwen saw that Ye Shuning didn't talk about what happened between them anymore, he knew that their engagement was really over.
He originally had no feelings for Ye Shuning, and even disliked her. After all, she had schemed against him. Later, Ye Shuning repeatedly caused trouble, which made some leaders in the unit unable to bear it and worried that it would affect his work.
Now that Ye Shuning suddenly said the engagement was cancelled and they didn't have to get married, he breathed a sigh of relief but didn't feel much better. He didn't know why, but he always felt that he would regret it later.
He shook his head to get rid of the thought, said something to Ye Shuning, and left the room.
Ye Shuning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yan Jingwen leave. She was also afraid that Yan Jingwen would find out something.
It would be better for her to leave here as soon as possible. This is the temporary residence for oil field workers. Since she and Yan Jingwen have broken off their engagement, she can't live here forever.
But now, she needed a letter of introduction to go anywhere, so it wasn't easy to leave. Maybe she would have to ask Yan Jingwen for help. I guess Yan Jingwen would help her, after all, he probably wanted her to leave as soon as possible.
But before she leaves here she has to get some money.
Ye Shuning learned from the original owner's memory that there was a small town more than 20 miles away from here, and more than 60 miles away from the nearest county town.
She had to walk to the town first, then take a bus to the county seat. She had to find a way to earn some money and find a place to settle down.
According to the book, it was 1973, and she was only 17 years old in this body. The college entrance examination was resumed at the end of 1977, and it would take several more years before she could pass the college entrance examination and leave here.
She still holds an agricultural household registration, which means she can't live in the city. Finding a job is even harder these days, considering many young people in the city have gone to the countryside as educated youth.
The original owner was just a young girl who had not graduated from high school and had no connections. It was very difficult for her to find a job in the city now.
Household registration is now very strict. If you want to travel far, you need a letter of introduction, otherwise you can't buy a ticket. So she had to stay in the countryside for a few years before the college entrance examination was resumed.
Besides, the situation outside is not very stable now, so it’s better to stay in the countryside.
Once she finds a place to stay and gets a letter of introduction, she can say goodbye to this place and no longer have to care about Yan Jingwen.
Because this place is far from her hometown and transportation is inconvenient, her household registration has been transferred here. This is probably due to Yan Jingwen's efforts.
This also saved her a lot of trouble. In the future, she would take the college entrance examination here and graduate from here. She would not have to go back to face the original owner's uncle's family.
Ye Shuning's body has improved a lot after a day's rest. If everything is fine tomorrow, she will go to the county town. Ye Shuning fell asleep again in a daze while thinking about things.
In her dream, she seemed to have returned to the chemical research institute where she worked before the end of the world in Yunzhou City. The alarm clock in her dormitory at the institute was still ticking. She picked up the alarm clock in her hand, and it suddenly rang.
What stunned Ye Shuning was that she was lying in a quilt on the earthen kang with an alarm clock ringing in her hand. It was the alarm clock in her dormitory at the Institute of Chemistry in her previous life. She had just seen it in her dream. How could it appear in her hand now?
Ye Shuning pinched herself, it hurt, she wasn't dreaming. She turned off the alarm clock to stop it from ringing.
She was thinking about the scene just now and her dormitory when suddenly someone appeared in her dormitory.
She looked in shock at the patched clothes she was still wearing, and then at the modern things in the living room, kitchen, bathroom and other places in the apartment dormitory where she used to live. She went to the bedroom, picked up a book she used to read by her bed and thought about going out.
As a result, she appeared on the earthen kang where she had just slept, holding the book in her hand.
Ye Shuning was so excited that she wanted to go in again, and then she saw the person in her dormitory again. She walked around in her dormitory excitedly for a long time, and then she went to the window to look outside. It was quiet, and there was nothing in the open space outside the dormitory building except a few parked cars.
The sky was so gray that you couldn't see the blue sky, let alone the sun.
Ye Shuning came to the door leading to the corridor of the dormitory. She opened the peephole and looked out. There was nothing. She put her ear to the door and listened carefully for any movement outside. There was silence outside.
She carefully opened the door a crack and stuck her head out to see that there was still nothing in the corridor, and it was still silent.
Ye Shuning turned around, grabbed a kitchen knife, opened the door again, and tiptoed out quietly. She then discovered that the dormitory building seemed to be empty, not even a zombie. This was a truly exciting discovery.
She walked out of the dormitory building again and found that the place outside was indeed the research institute where she had been working before.
This is a huge surprise. Not only did she not die, but she now also brings with her the chemical research institute where she once worked. This is really a golden finger.
Ye Shuning walked around quickly and carefully. There was no one in the research institute, let alone zombies. It was quiet everywhere, and clean and tidy, like the scene before the end of the world.
The institute's various research rooms, laboratories, instruments and equipment were all there, as were all the living facilities. The dormitory apartment building where she lived was also well-preserved, but apart from her, there was no one else there.
The institute was shrouded in a thick fog, and the surrounding area was the same. She could not enter the fog, and only the area within the institute was within her range of movement. She looked up at the sky, which was also foggy and without the sun.
Even so, it's already very good.
Ye Shuning saw that the flowers, plants and trees used for the institute's landscaping were growing well. She had an idea and went to the institute's small garden. She found that many flowers were blooming and the grass in the meadow was still as green as before the end of the world.
If these flowers and plants can grow, then can the other things she plants also grow?
The world she lives in today is still in an era of material scarcity. Having enough food to eat is a luxury, let alone eating well.
If there is something to grow here, then she will turn this garden into a farmland or a vegetable garden. Although the garden is not large, but if it is tidied up, a lot of things can be grown.
