Chapter 97: Leaving Xiaojia Village



Su Nan cleared his throat, sat up straight and said, "I'm going to work at a photo studio in the county town."

"This is great news. When did it happen? Why is it so sudden?" Liu Yu grabbed Su Nan's hand in surprise and was sincerely happy for her.

Going to work in the county town is a good thing that many people hope for.

"Yes, why haven't I heard you mention it? When are you going?" Xiao Fangyun's eyes lit up and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

"I just found out about this too." Su Nan looked around and saw that there were only three of them at the educated youth point, so he whispered briefly about what had happened to him and Zhou Rang in the past two days.

Of course, she skipped some of the embarrassing dating process.

"Yesterday was your birthday, why didn't you tell us? We didn't prepare any birthday presents for you." Xiao Fangyun couldn't help but interrupt anxiously halfway through listening.

"Yes, why didn't you tell us?" Liu Yu also frowned with disapproval.

Su Nan and her friends had given each other big gifts on their birthdays before, and they had already agreed to celebrate well for Su Nan.

But Su Nan never told them when his birthday was, so they thought it was in spring, but it turned out to be New Year's Day.

"Oh, don't spend any money, it's all in the past." After Su Nan got the point across with a few words, she continued to talk about her and Zhou Rang.

However, Xiao Fangyun and Liu Yu were determined to give Su Nan a gift, but they kept it in their hearts and didn't say it out loud.

After a while, Su Nan finished telling the whole story and received a burst of exclamations.

"Nannan, are you finally officially dating?"

"Zhou Zhiqing is so kind to you, spending so much money to buy you a job."

"He's tall and handsome, and we're from the same hometown. I think you two are a perfect match."

"Our Nan Nan is so pretty and has good cooking skills, so she won't have trouble finding a good man. I think Zhou Zhiqing got the best deal."

Xiao Fangyun and Liu Yu chatted with each other, which made Su Nan smile so much that she couldn't stop laughing, holding her stomach.

"By the way, Nannan, when are you going to work in the county? Remember to transfer your food supply and household registration in advance, otherwise you will have more troubles." Liu Yu reminded.

"I'll register next Monday, and I plan to go to the agency to handle the formalities tomorrow." Su Nan nodded.

"Then Nannan, if you move to the county town, won't it be difficult for us to see each other in the future?" Xiao Fangyun looked depressed, her eyes full of reluctance.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly became heavy and sad, and the smell of parting lingered around the three of them.

The rural areas of those days were not as convenient as the new rural areas of later generations, with cement roads and private cars everywhere.

Nowadays, there are few cars, let alone private cars. The roads are still muddy and turn into rivers when it rains. Moreover, the county town and Xiaojia Village are far apart, so you need to take a car to go out, but you have to pay for the car.

The money for two round-trip train tickets can buy several kilograms of food, so generally speaking, country people will not go to the city to spend that money unless it is necessary.

Besides, Su Nan went to the city to work, not to play, so of course she didn't have much free time to go back to her hometown, nor did she have time to receive her good sisters.

So Xiao Fangyun's words hit the three of them like a heavy hammer.

Xiao Fangyun and Liu Yu are the only good friends Su Nan has made since she came to this world. They have different feelings and meanings to her.

"Hey, it's not like we'll never see each other again. Why are you saying such sad things? Besides, no matter what, you will always be my good friends." Su Nan hugged the two of them and smiled.

"Nannan, we will miss you." Liu Yu hugged Su Nan back and smiled through his tears.

"Yes, we are good friends for life." Xiao Fangyun put her hand on Su Nan's back and hugged him tightly.

"I have to come back to attend Sister Xiaoyu and Brother Wang's wedding banquet, help with makeup and be a bridesmaid." Su Nan teased Liu Yu mischievously.

After hearing this, Liu Yu, who was originally very moved, blushed instantly.

Every time the matter of 㳔 was mentioned, she couldn't help blushing and her heart beat fast. After all, she was still a girl in her early twenties and was thin-skinned.

But fortunately, after Su Nan's interruption, the atmosphere was not so depressing anymore, and instead began to move towards a relaxed and homely style.

Xiao Fangyun began to complain about her blind date partner, and the sadness was reduced amidst the laughter.

The next day, Su Nan took Zhou Rang to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to handle the formalities, but before going to the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Nan and the others first went to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative in the village is just an earthen house. There are not many good things in it, but mostly common daily necessities.

Su Nan bought several large bags of sugar and a basket of eggs, preparing to give them to the staff working in the agency.

Brown sugar was a precious commodity in those days, as it required sugar coupons, so ordinary people rarely bought it.

No matter which dynasty, if you ask someone to do something for you, it is always better to bring something with you than to go empty-handed. Others will not drag their feet and take you too seriously because you have given them something.

This way, everyone is happy.

Besides, these things added together wouldn't be worth much money, at most just a few more candy tickets, but Su Nan didn't like candy very much, so it didn't matter.

The two of them moved quickly and arrived at the agency in no time. They then spent most of the day running up and down with their IDs, and finally completed all the steps before sunset.

"Why is it so troublesome?" Su Nan pouted and couldn't help but whisper a complaint into Zhou Rang's ear.

Zhou Rang was packing all her documents into a bag when she smiled and said, "Are you tired? I'll carry you back."

"I don't want to. There are so many people watching us on the street. Do you still have any shame?" Su Nan crossed her chest and snorted, then made a face at Zhou Rang.

"Okay then." There was an indescribable sense of loss in his tone, as if being rejected by her was such a regrettable thing.

Su Nan was amused by him and finally no longer looked so depressed.

"But it's finally settled. Now I just need to go to the county town to submit the documents and go to work." Zhou Rang packed his bags and walked out of the agency gate following Su Nan.

"Yes, yes." Su Nan pulled Zhou Rang's sleeve and let him drag her along. After a busy day, she was really a little tired.

But what was unexpected was that they ran into an old acquaintance at the gate.

"Brother Xiao." Su Nan was the first to greet him with a smile.

"Su Zhiqing, Zhou Zhiqing." Xiao Fangchi withdrew his gaze from Su Nan's hand that was holding the corner of Zhou Rang's clothes, and greeted them with a smile.

The hand hidden under Zang's sleeve involuntarily clenched into a fist.

"Where have you been?"

Su Nan calmly changed the hand that was holding Zhou Rang's clothes to hold his hand, and tilted her head to lean on his arm, shortening the distance between them.

Anyone who is not blind can detect their affection.
