Chapter 97: Leaving Xiaojia Village



Su Nan cleared his throat, sat up straight and said, "I want to work in the photo studio in the county town."

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

Working in a county town is a good thing that many people hope for but cannot get.

"Yes, why haven't I heard you mention it? When?" 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 site, so he whispered briefly about what had happened between him and Zhou Rang over the past two days.

Of course, she saved some embarrassing dating process.

"Yesterday was your birthday, why didn't you tell us? We didn't prepare any birthday present 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 a look of disapproval.

Su Nan had given them big gifts on their birthdays before, and they had already agreed to celebrate for Su Nan.

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

"Oh, don't spend money, it's all over." After Su Nan fooled him with a few words, she continued to talk about her and Zhou Rang's relationship.

However, Xiao Fangyun and Liu Yu had made up their minds 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 that he is willing to spend so much money to buy you a work."

"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 high-quality male partner. I think Zhou Zhiqing is the lucky one."

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

"By the way, Nan Nan, when will you go to Dong County to work? Remember to transfer your food supply and household registration in advance, otherwise you will have more troubles." Liu Yu reminded.

"The registration will be done next Monday, and I plan to go to the commune 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 filled with 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 these days are not as convenient as those in later times, with cement roads and private cars everywhere.

Now, let alone private cars, there are few bicycles, and the roads are still muddy roads that become rivers when it rains. Moreover, the county town and Xiaojia Village are far apart, so you need to take a car to go out, and taking a car costs money.

The money for two round-trip train tickets can buy several kilograms of food, so there is generally no need to make trouble. Country people will not go to the city to spend that kind of money.

Besides, Su Nan came to the city to work, not to play, so of course she didn't have much spare time to return to her hometown, nor did she have time to entertain her good sisters.

So Xiao Fangyun's words were like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the three people.

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 them both and smiled.

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

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

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

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

Every time she mentioned this, she couldn't help blushing and her heart beating fast. After all, she was still a girl in her early twenties and was thin-skinned.

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

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

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

The village supply and marketing cooperative is just an earthen house. There is nothing good in it. Most of the things you see are daily necessities.

Su Nan bought several large bags of sugar and a basket of eggs and prepared to give them to the office workers in the commune.

Brown sugar was a precious commodity in that era, because it required sugar coupons, so ordinary people seldom bought it.

No matter which dynasty it is, if you ask someone to do something for you, it is always better to bring something with you than to go with nothing. Others will not drag their feet or take it lightly because you are giving them something.

This way, everyone is happy.

Besides, all these things wouldn't cost much in total. At most, it would cost a few more candy tickets. But Su Nan didn't like candy that much, so it didn't matter.

The two moved quickly and arrived at the commune in no time. They then spent most of the day running up and down with their identification documents, and finally completed all the steps before the sun set.

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

Zhou Rang was putting all her documents into a file bag. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Are you tired? I'll carry you home."

"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 arms 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 pity.

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

"Everything has finally been settled. Now we just have to submit the documents to the county and we can go to work." Zhou Rang packed the file bag and followed Su Nanxiang out of the commune gate.

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

What the two people didn't expect was that they actually 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 holding the corner of Zhou Rang's clothes, and greeted them with a smile.

The hand hidden under the sleeve involuntarily clenched into a fist.

"Where are you?"

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

Anyone who is not blind can detect their intimacy.
