Chapter 12 Getting Off the Train

It has to be said, they guessed right. The people from the Zhiqing office didn’t care what they were saying, they directly gave the final notice. “Alright, you two hurry up and get ready, don’t even think about escaping going to the countryside, you can’t afford the consequences.” Xu Yu Lan knew that there was no turning back now. She was furious, but then she thought, luckily she had arranged for Wang Xiang Dong beforehand. Ye Nan Yi, you just enjoy yourself! I’ve arranged your life for you. “Okay, we’ll pack some things, we’ll definitely be on the train on time.”

The people from the Zhiqing office were relieved, they handed the notice of departure to the two of them. Xu Jie looked at the location on the notice and almost fainted. “Yu Lan, that dead girl actually signed us up to go to the Northwest, that place…” Xu Yu Lan quickly took a look, her eyes glared angrily at the notice, as if she wanted to stare a hole through it. “Brother, don’t worry, it’s just the Northwest, right? We’ll work together as siblings, we’ll definitely be able to make it until we return to the city, we will.” Xu Yu Lan’s words didn’t comfort Xu Jie at all. He knew that place was under construction, there was sand everywhere. “Yu Lan, bring more veils! Also bring more things, it’s hard to buy things there even if you have money.” “Okay, brother, don’t worry, that dead girl won’t be alright either, she’ll die a horrible death.” Xu Jie didn’t understand what his sister meant, but he didn’t want to say anything. If Xu Jie had just asked one more question, he wouldn’t have been so miserable later. Xu Yu Lan didn’t think as comprehensively as Xu Jie, she was ruthless in her actions, but she didn’t leave herself any way out. “Brother, I have 80 yuan here, how much do you have?”

Xu Jie looked at Xu Yu Lan in surprise, he didn’t know where she got so much money. But now the situation was urgent, they only had one day to prepare things. “I only have 50, it was borrowed before, I was reluctant to lend it out at the time, now thinking about it, I wish I had borrowed more.” Xu Yu Lan didn’t say anything, she regretted it too! Li Li Juan, that woman, only gave her so much money each month, not one cent more, she was so sweet-tongued, she called her “Mom” all the time. While the siblings were frantically preparing their supplies for going to the countryside, Ye Nan Yi had already gotten off the train. As soon as she got off the train, Ye Nan Yi felt like she had come back to life, she was so tired, she felt like her whole body was marinated. “Wang Fang, Ye Nan Yi, Zheng Wen Hua, Wang Xiang Dong, Zeng Bai Ling, are you all here? If you are, come to me.” All five of them heard someone calling them, so they carried their luggage and walked towards the oxcart. “You guys are pretty quick, it’s a bit late today, go to the guesthouse and stay for a night, we’ll leave early tomorrow morning, if you want to buy anything, hurry up.”

After the captain who came to pick them up finished speaking, he told the oxcart driver, “I’m going now, you’re responsible for taking them back tomorrow morning.” “Captain, I guarantee to complete the task.” The captain nodded, then looked at the five people, he sighed again in his heart. These five people didn’t look like they could work, one of them was especially obvious, thin and weak, he probably couldn’t even hold a sickle. Zeng Bai Ling noticed the captain’s gaze.

 “Captain, what are you looking at us for?” Wang Fang quickly pulled Zeng Bai Ling, she didn’t want to offend the captain before they even got there, would they still be able to live there in the future? Ye Nan Yi could see that the captain was clearly dissatisfied with the five of them. It was true, they were going to the countryside to work, and five people came who couldn’t carry anything, how could he not be annoyed? “Nothing, I’m just observing you guys, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t recognize you later.” The captain’s words were purely to appease Zeng Bai Ling, he was someone who could see through people with a single glance, this girl was clearly naive. Old Qi, the oxcart driver, quickly chimed in, “Captain, go back first! I can handle these people, they won’t go missing.

” The captain saw that it wasn’t early, he had to hurry back to the village on his bicycle. “Let’s go! The guesthouse is a bit far away.” The five of them threw their luggage on the oxcart and followed behind it. Ye Nan Yi was a little curious, why didn’t Zeng Bai Ling ask why they couldn’t ride in the oxcart. It wasn’t that Zeng Bai Ling didn’t ask, but she saw some excrement on the oxcart, she didn’t want to sit. Ye Nan Yi looked at the surroundings, she quickly walked to Old Qi’s side and stuffed five pieces of Da Bai Tu milk candy into his arms.

Old Qi was startled by Ye Nan Yi’s actions, he looked down and saw five pieces of candy, he didn’t want to take them at first, but when he thought of his children at home, he still put them in his pocket. Ye Nan Yi saw Old Qi put the things away, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Little girl, you can’t get something for nothing, tell me, what do you want to ask?” Ye Nan Yi saw that her thoughts were exposed, she just smiled shyly. “Old Qi, my name is Ye Nan Yi, you can call me Xiao Ye or Nan Yi. I want to ask, where will we live after we get to the village?”

 Old Qi was relieved to hear this question, it was about this! “There’s a special Zhiqing point in the village, it’s the house left by the former landlord, all the Zhiqing live there.” Ye Nan Yi nodded and continued to ask, “Do we all live together, or several people in a room?” Old Qi realized that this little girl’s true intentions were not in the wine! “I know what you want to ask, that house has a big bunk bed, it’s free, it’s arranged by the village for the Zhiqing to live in. There are also rooms that require rent, 20 yuan a year, you can live in them by yourself.”

Ye Nan Yi was delighted to hear this. She wanted to live alone, after all, she had the secret of her space, and she could eat good food if she lived alone. “Old Qi, to be honest, I want to live alone, are there any rooms left?” Old Qi was happy to hear this, he was the one who managed that house, if someone rented it, the village would have an income. However, looking at the girl’s appearance, she didn’t seem to be that rich, should he ask? “Old Qi, what are you thinking about?” “Nothing, there are many places where you need money after you become a Zhiqing, the rent is not cheap.” Ye Nan Yi quickly explained anxiously, “I have money, I’m just small.

” Hearing Ye Nan Yi say this, Old Qi didn’t hesitate anymore. “When we get to the Zhiqing point, I’ll get you the rental agreement, you can pay when the time comes.” Ye Nan Yi happily nodded, then she asked a few more questions. The four people who were following behind saw Ye Nan Yi and Old Qi chatting so happily, they were a little envious. Zeng Bai Ling couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Some people are just flattering, what’s there to chat with an old oxcart driver about?”

As soon as Wang Fang heard this, her eyes went black, she quickly looked at Old Qi’s face. Sure enough, she had offended him, the old man who had been chatting and laughing with Ye Nan Yi just now, his face was now so black that it could drip ink. Wang Fang looked at Zeng Bai Ling again, she was so bitter in her heart! No, are you crazy! You can’t speak, can’t you just shut your mouth! Wang Fang was cursing Zeng Bai Ling in her heart, she didn’t notice that Ye Nan Yi was waiting for them ahead. She realized it was too late, Ye Nan Yi kicked Zeng Bai Ling to the ground.
