It was only eight o'clock when the car stopped in front of the train station.
The Youth League Office notified her to gather at the entrance to the station, but she didn't want her godfather to send her in.
As the director of Hengshi Iron and Steel Plant, many people knew him, but she wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible. If she was too high-profile, she would be isolated before she even set out.
"Godfather, please send me here. I can go in by myself."
"That won't work. I've already told the guys at the station in advance. I have to get you to the train before I leave."
"Godfather, there's really no need. It wouldn't be good if someone recognized you."
The two men had a verbal argument at the door, and in the end Song Fuyu won.
Seeing that she didn't have much stuff, Chen Guoxing gave up the idea of sending her to the car.
He pulled a small cloth bag from his coat pocket and handed it over.
Song Fuyu held it in his hand in a daze.
"This is the money for your house. I opened another passbook for you with 1,700 yuan in it. There is also 300 yuan in cash and some tickets. Keep them all separate from the previous passbook. Be careful not to lose it."
"Godfather, that house only has two bedrooms and a living room. It can't be worth two thousand dollars, right?"
And there are also tickets. Considering her godfather's contribution, there must be more than just a little bit.
"If I say it's worth it, then it's worth it. Don't worry about it. Put it away quickly and don't let anyone see it."
She had asked Aunt Li about the house before, and she was told it cost no more than 800 yuan, so it should have been subsidized by her godfather himself.
She put the things into the small bag she was carrying on her back, and would put them away into the space when she went in later.
Then he took out fifty yuan from his pocket.
"This is what Aunt Li gave me before. Please help me return it to her. If I give it to her directly, she will definitely not accept it."
"Okay, I'll give it to her when I get back to the factory."
"You go back, I should get in as well."
Chen Guoxing listened to this and turned his back.
Song Fuyu looked at him and seemed to be wiping tears, with his eyes feeling a little sore.
She had not felt the warmth brought by her relatives for more than ten years. Now, in Chen Guoxing, she felt the long-lost fatherly love. Like her parents, his love for her was selfless and unconditional.
Chen Guoxing wiped away his tears, turned around and wanted to say something, but when he saw Song Fuyu, he choked up and couldn't speak.
He still had a lot of things he hadn't told her, and before he even heard her call him godfather, she was about to go to such a far place and do such hard work. He felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought about it.
Song Fuyu looked at his sad face and walked up to him and gave him a gentle hug.
"Godfather, take good care of yourself and don't forget to eat because of your busy work. I will write to you, and if there is a long vacation, I will take leave and come back to see you."
"Take care of yourself, don't be too sad, I'm leaving now."
After saying that, without even looking at Chen Guoxing's expression, he trotted straight to the entrance.
She was afraid that if she turned around and saw the worry on his face, she would burst into tears.
It wasn't just because of Chen Guoxing, but also because this scene reminded her of when she was studying abroad and her parents looked at her in the same way.
At that time, transportation was so developed that they could just take a plane to wherever the other person was if they missed him/her, but the three of them still cried their hearts out at the airport.
Song Fuyu adjusted her mood and came to the entrance. There were already a few people waiting there, including a comrade holding a registration form in his hand. He should be a staff member of the Youth League Office. She immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Hello, comrade. Do I need to register with you when I go to the countryside?"
"Yes, tell me your name and I'll give you your ticket."
The other party answered neither enthusiastically nor coldly.
"My name is Song Fuyu."
When the other party heard the name, he immediately looked up at her. The little girl still had gauze wrapped on her head.
Song Fuyu, everyone in the Youth League Office now knows of her existence, and everyone sympathizes with her situation.
Moreover, Director Chen of the steel plant also went to the Youth League Office in person to greet them and asked them to take good care of her. Therefore, the comrade in charge of signing in instantly became much nicer towards her and handed her ticket over.
"I picked a window seat for you. You are still injured. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately. Don't bear it yourself, okay?"
"I see. Thank you."
Song Fuyu looked around but didn't see Song Xiuxiu. Didn't she also sign up to go to the countryside? Could it be that the report she wrote successfully affected her? If not, she would have to find a way to get rid of her as soon as possible, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable if they went to the same place to go to the countryside.
"Excuse me, comrade, I would like to ask, I..."
She pretended to be embarrassed, as if she couldn't say it.
Seeing her expression, the other party thought that she had encountered something and asked quickly: "It's okay, just tell me."
"I would like to ask, is my sister Song Xiuxiu going to the countryside with me this time? Is she going to the same place as me?"
After saying this, she tried her best to make her expression look a little scared and terrified.
When the other party saw the panic on her face and the gauze on her head, he knew what she meant.
"Don't worry, Song Xiuxiu will never bully you again."
"Her parents did such a shameful thing, which had a very bad impact, so the leaders unanimously decided to send her to a remote farm in the west to do labor. The car will be released the day after tomorrow."
After listening to this, Song Fuyu just wanted to shout out loud, it’s really great!
After thanking the comrades from the Youth League Office, she stood aside and waited quietly with them.
At nine o'clock, everyone was there.
A group of more than 20 young men and women, carrying large and small bags, some even holding quilts in their hands, entered the station and prepared to get on the bus.
Not far from the entrance, where they couldn't see him, Chen Guoxing was sitting in the car. He watched Song Fuyu enter the station before letting Xiao Chen drive away from the train station.
