Chapter 107 Preparations before departure
In the next few days, Shen Anan hurriedly prepared for departure.
First of all, let’s talk about the brick factory. Since the order from the furniture factory has not been completed yet, the brick factory’s main task at this stage is to supply red bricks to the furniture factory.
However, other sales channels also need to be explored as soon as possible, so Shen Anan specifically instructed Zhao Shunzi to find orders in the town and the county as soon as possible, even personal orders should not be missed.
This time, Shen Anan opened a letter of introduction in the name of visiting relatives, so the destination can only be South Island. Shen Anan was also thinking about finding an opportunity to go to Beijing, but it seems that it is not possible for the time being, so she can only think of a solution later.
In this era, it was really troublesome to go out. Not only did you need a letter of introduction, but you also needed to prepare some national food coupons, because the food coupons of each province were only valid within the province.
For this purpose, Shen Anan even went to the black market to exchange the food coupons.
The Shen family also prepared a lot of things for her on this trip, including bacon made for the New Year, shoes and cotton-padded jacket made by Wang Sufen for Shen Yuanjun, dried wild vegetables and mushrooms, and even Shen Laiyou asked someone to buy a small piece of mountain ginseng and asked Shen Anan to bring it to Shen Yuanjun.
If Wang Sufen hadn't been worried that Shen Anan's small body couldn't carry so many things, she would have wanted to bring half of her home with her.
In the end, even after reducing the items again and again, the full load of things still filled two large bags and a backpack.
Wang Sufen was worried, her brows furrowed, "An An, why don't you reduce the amount a little? How can you carry so many things?"
"Hey, if you listened to mom and asked your eldest brother or fifth brother to accompany you, you wouldn't have to do it."
Shen Anan quickly stopped Wang Sufen who was about to pack her luggage again, "Mom, no need, I can carry it. My sixth brother will take me to the car here, and my third brother will pick me up on the other side. I can't carry it for a few steps."
"And I'm very strong, just look if you don't believe me!" Shen Anan said as she picked up a bag with one hand, looking very relaxed, and even shook the bag in her hand.
"My girl is so amazing..." Wang Sufen opened her mouth in shock. When did An An become so strong?
She just tried to lift the bag, and although she could barely lift it, she couldn't do it as easily as her daughter.
As far as she could remember, An An couldn’t even lift a bucket of water. Could it be that she remembered it wrong?
"Put it down quickly, aren't you tired?"
Shen Anan easily put down the huge bag in her hand, without blushing or breathing hard.
Ever since the Marrow Cleansing Pill improved her physique, she has become much stronger, so this little thing is no problem at all for her.
Moreover, she can put things in the space during the trip, so she won't be tired. If she carries a lot of luggage, she can also smuggle some good things for her third brother.
Wang Sufen suddenly thought of something and became a little worried. "An An, your second brother sent a telegram to your third brother about your going to South Island, but just like the letters, there is still no reply. I don't know if he received it. I don't know if he will pick you up this time."
"It's okay, Mom. I know the address of Third Brother's military district. If it doesn't work, I can find it myself."
"Don't worry, I will send you a telegram as soon as I arrive to let you know that I am safe." Shen Anan frowned.
There was no reply to the telegram or letter, which was indeed very abnormal. Shen Anan felt more and more that something must have happened to her third brother.
Now she just has to wait to buy the train ticket and she can set off. Hopefully she can make it.
…
…
"An An, you must be careful on the road. Don't talk to strangers. If someone harasses you, ask the conductor for help immediately."
"Make sure to pack your personal belongings well. Oh, and put your train tickets away as well. OK?" Shen Yuanjia kept reminding them worriedly as he held the luggage.
Shen Yuanjia regretted it so much. He shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and said that he could ask his acquaintances on the railway to help look after An An.
These days, as An An's departure date draws closer, he becomes more and more worried.
An An is a little girl, and she is so pretty. Is it really possible for her to go out alone?
"Sixth brother, I really know. You've said it a hundred times." Shen Anan looked hopeless. If she hadn't been holding something in her hands, she would have wanted to cover her ears with her hands.
To be honest, since she left the house today, her sixth brother has never stopped talking, muttering all the way, even more nagging than Wang Sufen.
"Don't take it lightly. Let me tell you..." Shen Yuanjia started his next round of attack.
"Okay. I understand."
Shen Anan felt like Monkey King being nagged by Tang Monk, but she was not an ungrateful person, and she knew that Shen Yuanjia was really worried about her, so she patiently agreed.
"Brother Yuanjia, I'm here!"
Suddenly a voice interrupted Shen Yuanjia's tight spell. Shen Anan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man and a woman in railway uniforms standing in front of him. The one who just spoke was the girl who was waving.
Xi Xiaoling waved and looked at Shen Anan who was approaching. She was indeed a great beauty as expected of that man's sister.
"You must be An An! I've always heard my dad praise you at home, and today I finally see you in person."
“An’an, are you tired of carrying things? Let me help you carry them!” Xi Xiaoling said as she reached out to take what Shen An’an was holding.
"No, no, it's not heavy. Thank you, Sister Xiaoling." Shen Anan quickly refused. Shen Yuanjia had to carry all the heavy things. What she was carrying was the food that Wang Sufen had prepared for her, which was indeed not heavy.
"An An is so capable! When you come back, you must come to play with me. I have always wanted to get to know you!"
Shen Anan felt something was wrong. The girl in front of her was obviously not much older than her, but why was she looking at her with such loving eyes, just like the way Wang Sufen looked at her.
"Well, let's talk business." Shen Yuanjia coughed and winked at Xi Xiaoling, telling her not to be too obvious!
Ever since this girl met Lao Wu who came to the police station to look for him last time, she has been running to the police station every few days, and pestering him to introduce Shen Yuanhao to her.
This girl helped buy the tickets this time, but it was not for his face!
Xi Xiaoling saw Shen Anan's puzzled look, and quickly restrained her own eyes, pointing to the person next to her and introducing, "Anan, this is Zhao Hao, the conductor of the train you are on. If you have anything to do when you get on the train, you can find him."
"Hello, Comrade Shen, I'm Zhao Hao." Zhao Hao's face flushed, and he stared at Shen Anan without blinking.
In the beginning, he agreed to help Xi Xiaoling look after the person, so he just thought of it as a small favor and asked the conductor to take better care of the person after getting on the train.
But he didn't expect that he fell in love at first sight when they met!
"Hello, Comrade Zhao, thank you for your help along the way." Shen Anan nodded politely.
"No trouble, no trouble!" Zhao Hao's face became redder and redder, and he shyly avoided Shen Anan's gaze.
