Chapter 412: Sitting or Not Sitting Like a Man
Han Youran returned home one day earlier than Xia Zhizhi.
Han Youran's family conditions are pretty good, so she gave away some of the large items and pots and pans that she used on a daily basis and that were inconvenient to carry. Not only did those things take up space, they were also difficult to carry, heavy, and not worth the money.
She picked up the clothes and some books she needed, and packed two large packages. Tang Mingli directly sent them to the train. Han Youran sent a telegram back and there was someone to meet her at the station, so getting on and off the train was not troublesome.
Because she had to go back to work, Han Youran also transferred her food relationship.
Xia Zhizhi did not change her food relationship.
She actually doesn't care where her food account is, but her family will definitely pay attention to this. If she moves back, her family will arrange a job for her, and she will have to find a lot of excuses to shirk it.
She had good food and drink every day, Ah Ju served her attentively, and she could run around and play whenever she had time. She was extremely free. This was the dream life for many people. How could she not think of finding a job to do it?
The day after Han Youran returned to the city, Xia Zhizhi also took Aju on the train home.
There was nothing important left at the educated youth camp. Although the food register had not been transferred, Xia Zhizhi knew that she would never be able to return to the village. There were only some large boxes, cabinets, and tables left in the house.
If she really wanted to deal with it, she could sell it for some money, but for Xia Zhizhi, it was too much effort to sell things, and she couldn't make more money by doing anything else. Xia Zhizhi privately informed Jiang Xiurong and asked her to handle it.
Jiang Xiurong and Tang Mingli went to the station to see her off.
Jiang Xiurong and Xia Zhizhi didn't spend a particularly long time together, but it was still a roller coaster ride. Once people have twists and turns and have gone through some storms together, it's easy for them to develop deep feelings.
Especially Jiang Xiurong, after her rebirth, she was no longer close to her family and had few friends. Her focus was on the few people at the educated youth site, and her attention was focused on them, so naturally her feelings for them were deep.
Even though Jiang Xiurong takes care of Xia Zhizhi more in life, in fact, Jiang Xiurong is quite dependent on Xia Zhizhi and Han Youran psychologically.
Just as Han Youran left, Xia Zhizhi is about to leave.
In Jiang Xiurong's heart, it was just like her eldest daughter had just gotten married and her second daughter had to go to boarding school. They were about to become empty-nesters, and she felt so reluctant.
Jiang Xiurong reluctantly held Xia Zhizhi's hand, handed her the lunch box that Yang Yingxu had prepared for her, and earnestly told her: "Be careful on the road, take good care of yourself, and remember to eat when it's time to eat. You can take the lunch box to the dining car to heat it up."
Xia Zhizhi asked Ah Ju to take the lunch box over: "Sister Xiurong, don't worry, Xia Zhi is here."
Jiang Xiurong was still confident about Ah Ju, and after thinking for a while he gave another instruction.
"I see that your residence has not been moved, so you can leave the house there for now. I'll clean it up for you when I have time. If you want to come over to relax, you'll have a place to stay."
"Remember to write to Sister Xiurong and don't lose contact. You can come visit Sister Xiurong when you have time. If Comrade Tang and I have the opportunity to go to Beijing, we will also come to see you..."
Jiang Xiurong's mother had a heart attack. She always felt that there was something she had not explained well enough, and she kept muttering about it. Even when the car was about to start, she was still standing at the window and talking on and on.
Xia Zhizhi's life is colorful and varied. Jiang Xiurong is just an insignificant one among the three thousand beauties, so naturally she would not be as reluctant to leave as Jiang Xiurong.
But she always pretends, just like Aquaman, with a calm heart and an expression of deep reluctance and affection on the surface?
The car started, and Xia Zhizhi reached out from the window and waved to Jiang Xiurong: "Sister Xiurong, please go back soon. I have remembered everything you said. Don't worry, we are lifelong friends and we have a long way to go!"
The car had already gone out of sight, but Jiang Xiurong was still standing on the platform, watching. Anyone who saw this would be moved by the simple and true friendship of that era.
Tang Mingli knew that Jiang Xiurong was feeling sad and reluctant, so he didn't urge her and just stayed with her silently.
Xia Zhizhi waited for Ah Ju to spread a blanket on her bed, then she lay down immediately, with her head tilted like an old man getting ready to smoke a pipe.
These days the hard seats on the train are basically packed, but the environment on the berth side is much better and often not full. No one has entered their compartment from the time they got on the train until they arrived at the station, so the riding experience is great and it's really a pleasure.
She stayed in the car for two or three days. Although it was a bit boring to sit in the car for a long time, fortunately she had space. When she was bored, she could use her mental power to probe into the space to find something to do to pass the time.
If you get tired of lying down, you can take a walk in the carriage to stretch your muscles.
Xia Zhizhi's trip home was not a sudden impulse, but something she had planned long ago. However, she kept it to herself and didn't tell her family, intending to give them a surprise.
Because she came back secretly, naturally there was no one to pick her up, but she didn't care. Anyway, it was Ah Ju who carried the luggage that was placed outside to hide from others, so she wouldn't be tired.
So, Xia Zhizhi, who had no sympathy for Ah Ju at all, took Ah Ju, who was carrying a lot of bags, and squeezed into the bus back to Gongzhan Hutong.
It was past 4 p.m. when I got home. Zeng Zelan and Xia Bangguo had not yet finished get off work. Only the chef was preparing dinner. He was a little surprised when he saw Xia Zhizhi.
After all, Zeng Zelan cared so much about Xia Zhizhi that if she knew she was coming back, she would definitely start talking about her a long time ago. Even if she couldn't go to pick her up, she would definitely arrange for a driver to pick her up.
The house must be re-cleaned, and her precious granddaughter's favorite food and daily necessities must be prepared early.
Seeing Ah Ju carrying two bags on his shoulders and a large bunch of vegetables in his hands, the master put down the vegetables he was picking, hurried over to help, and carried the things into the house.
Knowing that she came back so suddenly, according to the old couple's living habits, when Xia Zhizhi was not around, the children did not come over to eat together, so on weekdays, the two of them lived a simple life.
Xia Zhizhi handed over some of her favorite dried vegetables, dried meat, intestines, etc. that she brought back to the chef.
Master You was worrying about what dishes to order for dinner, but when he saw that Xia Zhizhi had brought her own dishes, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The chef went to the kitchen to busy himself, and Ah Ju went to clean the house for Xia Zhizhi.
She had nothing to do, so she took off her coat, pulled a small blanket, and lay on the sofa, eating melon seeds and flipping through magazines to pass the time.
When the meal was ready, the old couple came back and entered the house one after another.
Zeng Zelan's face didn't look particularly happy at first, but when she opened the door, she suddenly saw her precious granddaughter, whom she had been thinking about day and night, lying on the sofa in a disgraceful manner. For a moment, she thought she was hallucinating because she missed her too much.
Soon, the old lady realized that this was not an illusion. How could it be an illusion? Except for Xia Zhizhi, no one else in the family could or dared to sit in such an untidy manner.
