Chapter 106: The Family
In the end, he couldn't persuade Fu Meili.
She went through all the places she was thinking about.
In this era when traveling is difficult, there is never a shortage of people wanting to travel.
Liu Qingqing admired the scenery in front of her and felt a little regretful that she couldn't take a picture as a souvenir.
Before going home, Fu Meili visited her uncle's house.
If you come here, you can't argue without taking a look around.
She brought some canned food and snacks bought from the supply and marketing cooperative and walked with Liu Qingqing.
Liu Qingqing didn't follow him. It was really disgusting that he asked her to eat for free when they were not familiar with the place.
"You can go by yourself. I'll go to the train station to check the tickets." There were no berths available for the two of them.
"No need to queue up, it's freezing cold. I'll ask my uncle to find someone to buy us two tickets." Fu Meili shook her head. Although her uncle didn't have a relative who was a ticket seller like Xu Fangqing, he could still buy hard seats.
Liu Qingqing nodded after thinking about it. When she bought her ticket, it was already the era of online ticket purchase. Although there was also a fierce competition, it was still better than the real-life version.
Like Fu Meili, she also started ordering and boxing dishes at the state-owned restaurant.
She ordered some takeaway dishes of the delicious dishes she had eaten in the past two days.
Especially the fried bacon with bamboo shoots.
Logically speaking, there are almost no bamboo shoots to sell here, especially in the middle of winter.
I don't know how the state-owned restaurants in Lincheng purchase their food.
In order to have it again in the future, she ordered two servings.
There is also beef stew with potatoes. Although it tastes good, the most important thing is that cattle are the most needed labor in the village at this time.
There's no time to take care of the baby, why would I kill it and eat its meat?
Normally, beef is not available.
Facing the waiter's curious gaze, Liu Qingqing packed the dishes and carried them away.
I was thinking about other dishes along the way and would buy them again when it was time for dinner.

❉
On the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Qingqing and Fu Meili boarded the train to Wuning.
Maybe it was New Year’s Eve the next day, as there were obviously fewer people still on the road at this time.
There was no more climbing in through the window.
To be honest, Liu Qingqing was really scared by that scene. She was really worried about a stampede...
When the two of them got on the bus and found their seats, they discovered that someone was sitting there. Liu Qingqing showed the words on the ticket to the other person: "Comrade, this seat is ours."
The two young men stood up after a while: "Good comrades, please sit down."
No unpleasant incidents occurred.
Liu Qingqing and her friend didn't bring many things with them, but they were all good things that they had just bought.
Even the coats were put into the woven bags to prevent them from getting dirty.
She glanced under the seat, which was already filled with things, then looked up at the shelf, where there was still some empty space.
"Meili, pass it to me." She took off her shoes and stood on the chair, picked up her bag, lifted it up and stuffed it, then put it down.
Then he turned around and took the two from Fu Meili's hand.
"Wow, sister, you are pretty good at fighting." The middle-aged man opposite gave a thumbs up.
He just stood up and was about to help the two little girls.
Unexpectedly, this person was so quick and much better than him.
Liu Qingqing clapped her hands, put on her shoes and sat down. "Well, whether to stretch out your hands or not is all learned from practice in the village."
"Oh, the girl is an educated youth?"
"No, my family has been poor peasants for eight generations, and we are just villagers." Liu Qingqing raised her head proudly when she said "poor peasants for eight generations".
People around them looked at them less.
He also looked away from the two people's luggage.
The journey was safe and sound, and it took us six hours and thirteen minutes to reach Wuning.
It's still late.
After arriving home, Liu Qingqing didn't rest. She put on gloves, rode her bicycle, and headed straight for Taoshan Village.
Liu Qingqing didn't ride a bicycle much this winter. Not only were her hands frozen, but the roads were also bad, with either snow or ice. If she wasn't careful, she would fall. At this time, strength had nothing to do with her.
But the New Year gifts have to be given before the New Year, and she can't leave on New Year's Eve.
Although there is no holiday during the Spring Festival, each factory has its own Spring Festival activities, summarizing the achievements of the year and holding performances to sing the revolutionary spirit.
As for the gifts, I brought a piece of pork and a bottle of wine to the Song family.
We first arrived at Old Song's house. Mother Song was very happy to receive the things. She had just received the pension money sent by her son from the production team from the village chief a few days before the New Year.
I glanced at the other piece of meat on the handlebar and saw that they were about the same size, which made me even happier.
A few yuan, and every household would envy it.
Liu Qingqing entered the house and exchanged a few words with Song's mother. She showed no expression when she heard this. She thought it was good. One yuan could buy a year's worth of food, and it would be sent to the village. Everyone in the village would know about it, and every family would give a thumbs up to the couple and would not find any fault with her.
Father Song stroked the bottle of wine, his mouth never closing: "Don't spend money, this bottle must cost several dollars!"
Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "It's once a year, Dad, you save it and drink it slowly."
Father Song smiled and took out a flour bag: "Hey, take some dried fish with you when you go out. I caught these in the summer and dried them in the sun. They are delicious when stewed with soybean paste."
