Lin Ling went to town to mail a letter and bought a lot of New Year's goods. She came to Gu Xi's house in the evening: "You went home for the New Year this year, leaving me alone. I feel lonely."
Gu Xi was sorting out the New Year's goods to bring home: "Didn't your parents ask you to go home? If you don't go back, you can't escape the temple."
Lin Ling immediately made a stop gesture: "Don't bring up this irrelevant topic. It's not that I don't want to go back, it's just that the road is too cold and I'm too lazy to move. I'd better stay and read. There are rumors everywhere that the college entrance examination will be resumed. I have returned my books to my teacher, and I want to start studying again."
After Lin Ling's reminder, Gu Xi took two more books and packed them into the suitcase. She also bought a suitcase for Tian Congbao and asked him to carry it by himself. He has grown taller recently and is almost taller than Gu Xi.
The three of them simply packed some things and didn't take anything with them. They tried to keep the suitcase empty as much as possible. They had a feeling that they would spend a lot of money when they returned to Shanghai, so they just needed to take the money with them.
Yin Jie drove the tractor to take the three of them to the train station: "Brother Xu, don't worry and have a good New Year. I will go to the house with Wan Xi from time to time to clean up, and Wan Xi will also help look after the vegetables."
Gu Xi smiled and thanked: "I will definitely bring a gift for Wan Xi when I come back. Thank you for your hard work."
Yin Jie waved his hands quickly: "It's not hard, it's my duty. Gu Zhiqing, I'll go back first. I have to buy vanishing cream and food for Wan Xi. This year, our two families will celebrate the New Year together. Brother Huai'an and his girlfriend will also come. My grandma will definitely be very happy."
While waiting for Hong Qin, Wang Xu went to the state-owned restaurant and bought some vegetables and buns, which would be enough for two meals on the way and would arrive tomorrow morning.
Hong Qin and Yuan Ping arrived late, bringing three large suitcases with them: "Gu Xi, sorry to have kept you waiting."
Gu Xi smiled and took Yuan Ping's hand: "No, we just arrived. Wang Xu bought some food and you guys arrived."
Hong Qin used his connections to buy a sleeper berth for Gu Xi and Yuan Ping. They shared a room with two educated youths who were returning home to visit their families, one of whom was also pregnant.
There were three men in one room, with no one else in the room, and an empty bed, so the luggage was placed in the men's room. They played in their berths during the day and went back to their own compartment to sleep at night.
As soon as Gu Xi and Yuan Ping entered the berth, the other party greeted them very politely and looked very kind. Gu Xi and Yuan Ping both liked them very much.
The pregnant girl smiled and spoke first: "Hello, I am an educated youth from Hongxing Village. I am going home to visit my relatives. How about you? Are you also going home to visit your relatives? I am going back to Shanghai, and this is my sister. We went to the countryside in the same place."
Gu Xi nodded: "Hello, I am an educated youth from Qingmiao Village. This is my sister. She is also visiting relatives in Shanghai. What a coincidence."
Yuan Ping stared at the girl's belly for a long time, feeling somewhat envious: "Your belly is getting bigger, is your husband comfortable letting you go home to visit your family?"
This question made the other party's face change, and then he immediately recovered: "He is busy and has no time to accompany me. We haven't been back for two years since we came to the countryside, so I went back to see him."
Gu Xi didn't ask any more questions and pulled Yuan Ping. "Sister Yuan, let's go to Wang Xu's sleeper and chat. Leave some space for them to rest. It's a long journey and a big belly will make you tired easily."
Leaving at the right time just ended the awkward conversation, and the other party was obviously relieved.
Arriving at the next room, Yuan Ping glanced at Gu Xi and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
Gu Xi smiled and shook her head: "No, it's just that the other party doesn't want to talk, so it's inconvenient for us to ask more questions. After all, they are strangers."
Hong Qin pulled Yuan Ping to sit aside and said, "What's wrong? Are the other two difficult to get along with?"
Yuan Ping shook her head: "They were also two educated youth, two sisters, and one was pregnant. I was curious and asked why her husband didn't accompany her and let her go home to visit her family.
As a result, the other party's face changed and Gu Xi changed the subject. Only then did I realize that I might have asked questions that I shouldn't have asked. I'm old and don't understand the ways of the world. "
Hong Qin snorted: "Just ask, if you're not happy, then don't be unhappy, what's the big deal, we don't even know each other."
Gu Xi also smiled: "I asked all the questions, but this is private, and I don't want to talk about it, so I won't ask. Sister Yuan, don't think too much, just go out with us and have fun, and keep a happy mood. Don't worry about this and that all day long."
Hong Qin smiled and nodded: "Yeah, that's right, I love listening to Miss Gu Xi talk, she is well-educated so what she says makes sense, it's right to listen to her.
When we get to Shanghai, I'll take you around. If you like it, we'll settle down. Anyway, Gu Xi and Wang Xu are also going back to Shanghai, so they can buy a house closer so they can keep each other company. "
Gu Xi remembered that her kettle was next door and wanted to go back to get it. Wang Xu accompanied her and walked to the side of the berth to listen to the two sisters talking. Gu Xi instinctively pulled Wang Xu and eavesdropped quietly.
The girl with the big belly is called Zhang Ting and her sister is called Zhang Juan.
Zhang Ting's voice came into my ears: "This time when I go back, let my mother find some connections to help me abort the baby, otherwise I will really be stuck in the countryside forever."
Zhang Juan was a little timid when she heard this: "If you abort the baby, how are you going to explain it to Brother Jin when you go back? His whole family treats you well. He likes you so much and is looking forward to having this child."
Zhang Ting was silent for two seconds, then she said, "Can love be used to make a living? He is a peasant after all, and his family won't agree. He won't suffer any loss, and I have given myself to him.
It's just that I'm in a foreign land and need personal care. It doesn't mean that the college entrance examination will be resumed. I will study hard and wait until I pass the exam and return to the city. I will be assigned a job after graduation. How can he be worthy of me? I will definitely find a classmate at that time or a colleague after graduation. "
Zhang Juan was silent for a few seconds. "I always feel that Brother Jin is so good to you, you shouldn't hurt him. He gave you money and effort, and gave you his wife's capital. You actually took the money and wanted to abort the child. You are too cruel."
Zhang Ting was obviously a little angry: "If I don't abort it, will you raise the baby? I have a bright future ahead of me. Don't think I don't know. Are you attracted to Jin Yu? If you can't bear to let him go, then you can just marry him."
Zhang Juan was so annoyed that she kept silent, and the berth space fell into silence.
Gu Xi winked at Wang Xu, then went in to find a cup. Wang Xu was standing at the door.
When the two unhappy people saw Gu Xi come in, they looked at her awkwardly, afraid that she had heard something. However, Gu Xi did not behave strangely or show any curiosity at all. So they both breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she did not hear anything.
Who would have known that Gu Xi was a frequent melon eater, so he could remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe.
Zhang Ting saw Wang Xu at the door. He casually put on a sweater. The simple clothes made him look strong, handsome and tall. He was wearing a watch. Then she looked at Gu Xi's down vest and sweater, which were also very beautiful.
"Fellow countryman, is this your boyfriend? Is he also from Shanghai? He's really handsome. Would you like to go to the countryside with you?"
Gu Xi looked at Zhang Ting warily when she asked her question. Seeing Zhang Ting looking at Wang Xu from time to time, she felt a little unhappy, so she answered casually, "Yes, my girlfriend."
Wang Xu also noticed Zhang Ting's gaze and felt a little uncomfortable. He stepped aside and avoided Zhang Ting's sight.
Zhang Ting couldn't see Wang Xu, so she looked away regretfully. She happened to meet Gu Xi's half-smiley eyes, and then she realized her abruptness and explained awkwardly: "Your boyfriend is really handsome."
Gu Xi smiled and said, "I think so too. He's handsome and has a good figure."
After saying that, he took the cup and went out. Wang Xu at the door took the cup, pulled him back, and asked in a low voice: "My only advantages are that I am handsome and have a good figure?"
Gu Xi looked at the handsome man and said, "These are two shortcomings. You flirt with other girls all day long. Just now, I saw you lose control."
Wang Xu felt that she was wronged: "You were stunned at first, too. You are such an outstanding lesbian, beautiful, smart and talented. How can others compare to you?"
