252. Chapter 252 Getting on the Train
No matter how reluctant you are, there will always be a farewell.
The time finally came for Xu Jinning to leave Qinghe Production Team for Beijing.
Xu Jinning wore the new dress her mother had made for her recently. It was a light blue skirt. The color was like the sky that had just been washed by water, clear, beautiful and clean. It
also made Xu Jinning, who already had a fairy-like temperament, look even more fairy-like.
For convenience, Xu Jinning still tied a simple bun.
But it was so simple, but it made people feel more clean and beautiful. At first glance, she was a well-behaved girl who made people feel close to her.
Xu Xiangdong, who was going to send Xu Jinning to Beijing, helped her carry her luggage, and the only thing Xu Jinning carried was the lunch box that Zhang Ailian stuffed into her.
Inside were steamed buns, dumplings and other things she made, so that they could fill their stomachs when they were hungry on the train.
Although you can buy food on the train, the food is definitely not as good as Zhang Ailian’s, even if Zhang Ailian only makes simple steamed buns and dumplings.
Steamed buns and dumplings are more durable. Zhang Ailian also cooked some food and put them in another lunch box, telling them to eat them first and not let them go bad.
”Ningning, study hard. If you have any questions, call or write to your parents.”
”When you are away from home, you are unfamiliar with the place. Don’t be stubborn when encountering things. Remember, your own safety is the most important.”
”It is best to go to unfamiliar places with your sister and brother-in-law. Don’t go alone, understand?”
”…”
Before leaving, Xu Aiguo and Zhang Ailian were explaining everything in detail, as if they had endless things to say. Zhang Ailian’s hand kept holding Xu Jinning’s hand, and she was reluctant to let go.
Her eyes were slightly red.
”I know, I will remember it in my heart.”
In fact, these words have been said from time to time by parents since the day they received the admission letter.
These words have been said many times.
Xu Jinning can already recite some of them.
But now, Xu Jinning still didn’t feel impatient when she heard it again, because she knew that the advice that she kept repeating, every bit, every word, was the love and care of her parents.
Who would complain that their parents gave them too much love and care?
”Okay, it’s getting late, and we can’t let others wait, you go.” Finally, Xu Aiguo said.
Not far away, there were two ox carts waiting, and on them sat the villagers or educated youth who had been admitted to universities or technical secondary schools and also had to take the train to report to school.
However, Xu Jinning was the only one in the Qinghe Production Team who was admitted to Beijing University, or to the school in Beijing.
Therefore, the trains were at different stations.
Although they were at different stations, the starting address for the ride was the same, so the team leader Xu Changyi organized the ox carts in the team to send these students who were admitted to the train.
”Little sister, let’s go.”
Even if she was reluctant, Xu Jinning finally got on the ox cart with her eldest brother.
”Mom and Dad, please go back. I will call you. I will go home as long as I am free.” After the oxcart drove a long distance, she could still see her parents standing there and looking in her direction.
Xu Jinning couldn’t hold back her tears and shouted at them loudly.
”Brother.” When the oxcart turned a corner and she could no longer see her parents, Xu Jinning couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore. She cried in her brother’s arms and vented her emotions.
”Don’t cry, don’t cry. I’m just going to school. There is still a lot of time and life. In the future, there will be many opportunities to meet each other.”
Xu Xiangdong patted her back, comforted her carefully, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
This handkerchief was put in his pocket by his wife, fearing that she would see his younger sister crying, so she could take it out and wipe her tears.
Unexpectedly, she really did.
With the comfort of his elder brother, Xu Jinning’s emotions gradually calmed down. After
getting off the ox cart and walking for a while, the two got on the train.
Zhang Changzheng had taken the initiative to help buy the tickets. Nowadays, the common means of transportation for people to travel far away is the train, so train tickets are relatively difficult to buy, especially now that it is the peak period for students to report to school.
Zhang Changzheng also bought the tickets with great difficulty. Considering the long time, he bought a sleeper berth.
Not only that, he also bought Xu Xiangdong’s return ticket a few days later.
Two days ago, Zhang Changzheng also brought his wife and children to Xu’s house to celebrate Xu Jinning’s admission to Beijing University.
That’s right, Zhang Changzheng’s wife, who was pregnant with twins before, had already been born. In terms of virtual age, after this year’s New Year, they are two years old, and in terms of real age, they are almost one year old.
The two boys are very cute little guys.
”Ningning, be careful, follow me closely.” There were a lot of
people on the train. Xu Xiangdong held the luggage in one hand and held Xu Jinning with the other hand, protecting his little sister firmly behind him. There were indeed a lot of people on the train, almost crowded, and the smell in the air was not very good. There were all kinds of smells, and the smells were very strong.
To be honest, Xu Jinning was not very adaptable, and his brows were slightly frowned.
He could only cover his mouth and nose gently with a handkerchief, lower his head, and follow his brother closely, hoping to find a seat quickly.
Fortunately, after walking for a distance, he finally found the berth he belonged to.
But when he found the seat, there was someone in the seat, occupied by a middle-aged couple.
Xu Jinning’s heart skipped a beat. No way, is it like in all the novels, where he encounters someone occupying the seat as soon as he goes out? And then argue and quarrel?
No.
Xu
Jinning doesn’t want to have the same physique as the heroine.
Because the so-called heroine’s physique, in addition to the opportunity physique, is also the Conan physique, where trouble happens.
Xu Jinning doesn’t like that.
And she prefers to keep a low profile. If possible, she hopes to arrive quietly all the way.
Fortunately, things did not develop as she worried.
After Xu Xiangdong said that this was their seat, the couple just grumbled, got up and left with their luggage.
Fortunately, it was not so bloody.
Xu Jinning breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in his seat.
Considering that Xu Xiangdong had to take care of Xu Jinning, Zhang Changzheng also bought two seats together when buying the train ticket, one on the upper bunk and one on the lower bunk.
When Xu Jinning didn’t want to sleep, she could sit on the lower bunk with her brother, and when she wanted to sleep, she could sleep on the upper bunk.
Xu Xiangdong wanted Xu Jinning to sleep on the upper bunk.
The upper bunk is higher and safer.
The lower bunk is not very safe. What if it is pitch black at night and there is a thief or a hooligan, what should he do? Therefore, Xu Xiangdong only wanted to sleep on the lower bunk.
Xu Jinning knew that her brother was thinking about her, so she didn’t act pretentiously and agreed to sleep on the upper bunk when it was time to sleep.
