Chapter 35

A ticket scalper approached Sheng Kangning and Chu Nanzhou and asked in a low voice:

“What kind of tickets do you want? The price is negotiable. I have all kinds of tickets here, TV tickets, meat tickets, cloth tickets, bicycle tickets, sewing machine tickets, what do you want?”

Afraid that they wouldn’t believe him, he took out a sewing plane ticket from his briefcase and waved it in front of them. After Sheng Kangning and the others had seen it clearly, he quickly put it back into his briefcase.

He looked at Sheng Kangning and the others with a smile, waiting for them to speak.

Sheng Kangning also imitated others and asked in a low voice:

“Do you have national food coupons? I want them!”

“How much?” the ticket seller asked.

“How do you sell it first?”

The ticket seller said: “Other people sell national grain coupons for 1.2 yuan per pound. If you buy a lot, I can give you a cheaper price of 1.1 yuan per pound. But let me make it clear first. If you buy 10 or 20 kilograms, you still have to pay 1.2 yuan per kilogram. If you buy more than 50 kilograms, I can give you 1.1 yuan per kilogram. Tell me, how much do you want? This price is absolutely fair!”

The ticket scalper glanced at Chu Nanzhou and his companions. They were obviously martial artists, tall and strong. He did not dare to ask for a high price!

Sheng Kangning subconsciously looked at Chu Nanzhou, and Chu Nanzhou nodded slightly to her.

Sheng Kangning then said to the ticket scalper:

“I want fifty kilograms!”

The ticket scalper happily took out fifty kilograms of national food coupons from his briefcase, and Sheng Kangning counted out fifty-five yuan from his pocket and handed it over.

Then he asked the ticket seller, “Do you have any cloth coupons? The kind without date restrictions?”

Sheng Kangning was thinking of buying some cloth coupons and carrying them with him, so that he could use them when he arrived in the Great Northern Wilderness.

The ticket seller took the money and nodded:

“Of course I have, but I don’t have much here. Just tell me how much you want!”

Sheng Kangning thought for a moment and asked, “Do you have ten?”

The ticket seller nodded: “Yes!”

After the two completed the transaction, Zhou Shen gave the ticket scalper a wink and the two walked aside.

Zhou Shen lowered his voice and said what he wanted. The ticket seller’s eyes lit up and he readily agreed, “No problem, but you have to wait for me for a while. The amount you want is too large. Wait for me for a few minutes, I’ll be back soon!”

The ticket scalper turned around and ran towards several other ticket scalpers.

I think these guys are in the same group.

After a few ticket sellers lowered their heads and whispered to each other for a while, the man came back with a stack of tickets in his hand.

After paying the money, Zhou Shen put the stack of tickets into the bag he was carrying.

Later, when Sheng Kangning heard Xu Hongmei talk about this, he learned that Chu Nanzhou and his colleagues had to purchase a batch of food coupons every once in a while.

It is to be sent to the families of those comrades who have sacrificed their lives.

It was already noon when they came out of the black market.

Chu Nanzhou and Zhou Shen took Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei to find a restaurant nearby.

After dinner, he drove the two of them to the Ling family’s ancestral home.

On the way, Sheng Kangning asked about the surname Xiao.

Zhou Shen touched his nose and said, “He ran away! However, we have obtained new clues, so we are not afraid of not being able to catch him!”

When they arrived at the Ling family’s ancestral home, Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei got out of the car.

Sheng Kangning smiled at Chu Nanzhou:

“Thank you, Brother Chu!”

Those big, wet eyes look at you, their eyes moving around, with a hint of unconscious charm.

Chu Nanzhou was slightly startled, as if something had tickled his heart, making him feel numb and his face a little hot.

He asked calmly, “Have you packed your things?”

Sheng Kangning nodded.

Chu Nanzhou called Xu Hongmei over again and whispered a few words to her through the car window. Then Xu Hongmei suddenly stood at attention and saluted, saying loudly:

“Don’t worry, Captain. I will complete the mission!”

Sheng Kangning blinked and thought to himself, he didn’t know what task Brother Chu gave to Sister Hongmei!

Wait until Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei enter the courtyard.

Zhou Shen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Chu Nanzhou and laughed.

Chu Nanzhou glanced at him and said coldly:

“What are you laughing at?”

Zhou Shen pointed to his ears:

“It didn’t feel hot!”

Chu Nanzhou was stunned for a moment, coughed lightly and said:

“It’s too hot!”

Zhou Shen sighed and said jokingly:

“It’s so hot, why aren’t my ears hot?”

Chu Nanzhou rolled his eyes at Zhou Shen.

Zhou Shen laughed and said:

“It’s rare for a tree to bloom! However, this little girl, Kang Ning, is as beautiful as a flower. When she arrives in the Great Northern Wilderness, there will definitely be many men who will be attracted to her! Boss, hurry up!”

Chu Nanzhou felt uncomfortable:

“So much talk! Sit tight!”

He stepped on the accelerator and the car flew out like an arrow.

After resting at home for two hours, Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei got up and prepared to go to the train station.

Even though Sheng Kangning sent most of the things to Hongyang Farm by mail, there were still a lot of things to take, including an extra-large backpack and two net bags in his hands.

Xu Hongmei had more things than Sheng Kangning. In addition to the big backpack, she had two big bags in her left hand and two big net bags in her right hand.

Even in this situation, Xu Hongmei still wanted to help Sheng Kangning carry a net bag.

Sheng Kangning couldn’t help laughing: “Sister Hongmei, you are strong, but I am not that kind of delicate girl. Look at you, you have much more things than me. Otherwise, I can help you carry one.”

Xu Hongmei said she didn’t want Sheng Kangning’s help at all.

The two arrived at the train station.

There are sesame pancakes for sale, three cents a piece. This kind of pancake has little oil and looks very dry. You have to soak it in water when eating it and wait until it is softened before eating. Fortunately, there are sesame seeds on both sides of the pancake, so it still tastes very fragrant.

The most important thing is that this kind of cake can be stored for a long time.

If you can’t finish it, you can take it to the Great Northern Wilderness and keep it for a while.

There are two flavors, one is sweet and the other is salty.

Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei bought twenty tickets each, and both wanted sweet ones.

I also bought a few meat buns for dinner. I can’t buy too many meat buns because it’s too hot now. I can’t eat them all. They will go bad if left overnight and it will be a waste.

After buying food, Sheng Kangning followed Xu Hongmei towards the ticket gate.

The crowd was so crowded that Sheng Kangning was sweating all over.

“Corning! Corning! Wait a minute!”

A familiar voice was heard, and Sheng Kangning turned around and saw his stepmother Yang Chunling.

To be honest, Sheng Kangning was very surprised. She didn’t expect that her stepmother Yang Chunling would come to see her off!

Sheng Kangning did not come out of the line. Just kidding, she and Xu Hongmei had finally got a seat in the queue.

Once you walk out, you will have to wait in line until the end.

Yang Chunling finally squeezed over and said to Sheng Kangning breathlessly:

“Kangning, we’re not going to the countryside anymore! Mom has been looking for you since this morning, and has finally found you. Come out quickly, we’re not going to the countryside anymore!”

In order to get the 300 yuan dowry, Yang Chunling went to the educated youth counter after breakfast to wait for Sheng Kangning. She waited for the whole morning but didn’t see any sign of Sheng Kangning.

Yang Chunling had already lost hope, but she still listened to what a few educated youth said.

‘Hurry up, go to the train station after buying things, don’t miss the train.’

“That’s right, buy less! It will be troublesome if you can’t get on the train later!”

Yang Chunling slapped herself on the head.

Yes!

Sheng Kangning was one of the first group of educated youth to leave, and he took the same train as today.

I don’t know whether that damn girl Sheng Kangning bought the train ticket. If she did, she has to return it!

Yang Chunling hurried to the train station.
