In order to catch the train, the seven of them prepared to leave before dawn.
They had already said goodbye to their familiar fellow villagers yesterday, and today they left quietly.
Each of them had a big bag of luggage strapped to the back of their bicycle.
When they rode their bicycles down the slope and reached the village entrance, they found that there was someone there with a flashlight to see them off.
It’s Gao Beizhu.
The group stopped their bicycles.
Yun Guyuan said, “Let’s go back. Don’t send me off. From now on, everything in the mountains and the car repair business in the city will be handed over to you. Do a good job!”
“Brother Yun, thank you!” Gao Beizhu, who usually laughs, had tears in his eyes.
“Alright, let’s go back!” Yun Guyuan patted his shoulder and stepped on the pedal.
“Brother Yun, you must call me when you and Sister Yi get married! I will go to the capital to see you!”
The bicycle had moved more than ten meters when Gao Beizhu suddenly shouted.
“Hahaha!” Li Mengxue and the others laughed so hard that their handlebars tilted a few times.
“Don’t worry, just prepare your gift money!” Yun Guyuan rarely shouted loudly.
Gao Beizhu also shouted: “How much do you want for the gift money? I don’t have any more!”
“Hahahaha!”
The convoy, which had been moving steadily, started to swerve and twist.
“…” Yi Qingqing rushed to the front alone. She couldn’t stay in this village for even a second.
The convoy had disappeared from sight, and Gao Beizhu still hadn’t gotten an answer about how much the gift money was.
Scratching the back of his head, he walked back, muttering, “How much is it?” (T/N: Hahaha, silly boy! Ask your mother/future wife!)
…
Upon arriving in the county town, Li Mengxue led them to a small courtyard and said, “Okay, just leave them here. Someone will come and pick it up later.”
She had already arranged it with Xiao Hua.
After leaving their bicycles there, they walked to the bus stop to catch the first bus to the provincial capital.
Unfortunately, the timing was not right, as all the seats were taken when they arrived.
Gao Yinghua was waiting for them outside the train. When he saw them coming, he waved at them and said, “I’ll trouble you to take care of Mengxue.”
Before Yi Qingqing and the others could say anything, Li Mengxue said, “Don’t worry, they will take good care of me! Come to the capital to find me as soon as possible!”
Yi Qingqing: “…”
Sister, you are too unreserved.
“I’ll be transferred there this year. Wait for me.” Gao Yinghua said, tucking Li Mengxue’s upturned collar into her hair.
“Remember to write to me when you get there.”
Li Mengxue nodded like a chick pecking at rice: “I will miss you.”
“Me too.”
Gao Yinghua said again, “The train’s about to leave, hurry up and get on! Have a safe trip!”
The group boarded the train, just like when they were sent to the countryside, huddled together in a circle, piling their luggage in the middle.
The train swayed and lurched as it set off.
After arriving in the provincial capital, they entered the train station and boarded the train.
There were seven of them, four girls sitting together and three boys sitting together, with an aisle in between.
The train whistle sounded, signaling departure, and everyone looked out the window at the same time.
This place where they had stayed for more than three years disappeared into the distance along with the scenery outside the window.
It was much closer to the capital than to go home from the provincial capital. They arrived in just over a day.
The seven people left the train station with their luggage.
“The capital is really different. There are so many bicycles and cars passing by!” Qian Lailai exclaimed.
“It’s even more prosperous than Hai City!” Wang Lingling also said.
Yi Qingqing, however, immediately spotted the sign-in mark at the train station entrance.
[You have found the sign-in location at the Beijing Railway Station. Do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in?]
More sign-in locations were visible on the streets and among the buildings in the distance.
The capital is great!
There are so many more sign-in locations. There are quite a few as far as the eye can see.
But there is no need to rush. After she has toured the capital and has a general idea of the situation, it will not be too late to decide where to sign in.
