"We are the same. We won't come here after we return to Dong. It's like moving. There are so many things that fill up several big bags. We missed the first bus because we had too many things to carry." He Dongqing also nodded. They also gave away many things that were difficult to carry to other educated youth. Otherwise, they would not be able to carry them at all.
"You can be considered to have returned home with honor, you must be very happy." Chen Ran said with a smile. Compared with her, a poor thing who didn't even dare to tell her family that she was admitted to university, they were really lucky.
"This isn't really a glorious return home, it's just that I can go back home with a legitimate reason." He Dongqing shook her head. She called home to tell them that she had been admitted to university and could go back home. Except for her mother who was really happy for her, everyone else just congratulated her superficially and also mentioned that their family was short of housing and hoped that she could live in the school after school started.
She felt very sad when she thought about her brother who used to be very close to her and now broke up with her after just two days.
"Being able to go home is good. Unlike us, we can't even go home." Tang Xinmei also shook her head. "Time is like a butcher's knife, it can cut off everything, including family and love."
"If you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. Therefore, no matter what time it is, we must have the ability to support ourselves." Chen Ran nodded in agreement.
"Chen Ran is right. If you want to live a carefree and unrestrained life, you have to be capable." He Dongqing nodded. If she had money and a house, would her brothers still worry that she would stay home after returning? If she had power and money, they would be eager to curry favor with her, let alone ask her to find a place to live on her own.
"Everyone should work hard. In a few years, those who look down on you now will be out of your reach." Qiao Mo said with a smile.
"Mo Mo is right. We are all in college now. Our starting point is already higher than others. If we continue to work hard, we may become the people that others look up to." Chen Ran nodded confidently.
"If you become rich and powerful, don't forget your friends. If you become rich and powerful, don't forget your old friends." Wu Shudong also joked.
"I want to go to the provincial capital to find my son. Why don't you sell me a ticket?" When everyone was talking and laughing, a sharp voice came over.
"Auntie, you need a letter of introduction to buy a ticket. If you really want to go to the provincial capital to see your son, go back to the brigade to get a letter of introduction first. Otherwise, we will not be able to sell you a ticket." The ticket seller said impatiently.
"Comrade, please sell us two tickets. You see, my son's legs are broken and it is very inconvenient for him to move. Even if I want to carry him back to the brigade, I can't do it." The woman also remembered that a letter of introduction was required to buy a ticket. Before, she only wanted to go to the provincial capital to find her second son as soon as possible and forgot about the letter of introduction.
"This is the government regulation. We can't sell you a ticket without a letter of introduction." The ticket seller shook her head. When she saw a mother with a son with crippled legs, her tone was not as aggressive as before.
Qiu Shuiai said a lot of things, but the ticket seller refused to sell them the tickets. Knowing that it was useless to pester him any further, he had no choice but to carry Li Laosan, who was staggering, away on his back.
"It's Qiu Shuiai and Li Laosan. Why are they here?" Wang Jiaming followed the voice and saw Qiu Shuiai and Li Laosan.
"They were driven out by Boss Li and wanted to go to the provincial capital to seek refuge with Boss Li, but they forgot to ask for a letter of introduction." Chen Ran recounted what they had seen.
"It's really a blessing for Li Laosan to have a mother like Qiu Shuiai." Wu Shudong sighed.
"If she really loves Li Laosan, she should take him back to the village and support him herself instead of pushing him to her other son," Tang Xinmei said disapprovingly.
