Chapter 1093: Taking Home Leave
Zhou Mingxuan used a serving chopstick to put some mutton cooked in the hot pot into Liu Jingxue's bowl.
"Xiaoxue, why don't you let me take you to Xi City."
Liu Jingxue shook her head and refused, "Don't you see that it's snowing heavily outside? We don't know when it will stop.
After the snow stops, it is still unknown when the buses from the town to the city will be available.
If you send me there, it definitely won't be possible on the same day.
Once this passes and it starts snowing again, you don’t know how many days you’ll have to stay in Xi City.
Why bother? "
“You all know my abilities, so there’s nothing to worry about.
It’s much more convenient for me to go there alone.”
Since the autumn harvest was over, Liu Weihua and Wang Xiulan had been writing letters and making phone calls to Secretary Yan, asking Liu Jingxue to take a vacation this year and go home to visit her family and spend the New Year with them.
Wang Xiulan said that in recent years, many people have been together to celebrate the New Year, but this year, neither Liu Jianguo nor Liu Jianjun can take a home visit leave to spend the New Year with them.
It's just the two of them, you look at me and I look at you, it's so lonely.
This year will be boring.
Anyway, Liu Jingxue has never taken a home visit leave since she went to the countryside.
Now Cangzhou is wintering and has nothing to do, so let her take a vacation and go to their place to spend the New Year with them.
Liu Jingxue originally didn't plan to go, but the two of them wrote many letters and made several phone calls.
They even mobilized Liu Jianguo, Mr. Wu, Zhou Mingxuan, and Zhao Junhao to help lobby her to spend the New Year with them.
After a lot of exhausting bombardment, Liu Jingxue had no choice but to agree to it.
Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, the winter fishing and hunting at the production team have long ended, and it is time for Liu Jingxue to go over to Liu Weihua and the others.
Zhou Mingxuan immediately offered to send her to Xi City.
“If you don’t buy the ticket in advance and go there to buy it, you don’t know which day you can buy it.
I have some connections there and can go over and help buy the nearest tickets, maybe even sleeper tickets.
So you don’t have to wait there in vain.”
Liu Jingxue had no intention of actually taking the train there.
She had already left soul marks on Liu Weihua and Wang Xiulan, so she just had to fly over there.
How could she agree to let Zhou Mingxuan take her to Xi City, buy a ticket to Beijing and transfer there?
Although Liu Weihua chose Beijing for his return trip this time according to the wishes of Liu Jingxue and Liu Jianjun, after arriving in the capital by train from Xi City, he still had to transfer to another train and it would take a whole day to arrive.
Liu Jingxue didn't really plan to take such a long train ride to get there.
She had planned long ago to fly over directly, find out the train time from the capital to their place, and then come out of the space at the right time to meet the people sent by her uncle and aunt to pick her up.
“With weather like this, there are fewer people traveling, so it shouldn’t be hard to buy tickets.
There's no need for you to find someone to buy a ticket for me.
As for the sleeper berth, it is even more unnecessary. It only takes one night to get to Beijing, so there is no need to take a sleeper berth." Liu Jingxue refused.
"The debt of favor is the hardest to repay. It is better not to trouble others if you can."
Zhou Mingxuan was about to continue persuading her, but Liu Jingxue raised her hand to stop him.
“You should stay at home and spend time with Grandpa Wu.
Besides, there are still many things to do if the two of you stay here.
It was snowing today, and if the snow was not cleared in time, the house might collapse.
After I leave, remember to help me clean the snow off the roof of my house.
Don’t wait until I come back and find that the house has collapsed and I am left homeless.” Liu Jingxue warned.
Seeing that Liu Jingxue couldn't be persuaded, Zhou Mingxuan had no choice but to give up, "Okay then.
But if you arrive in Beijing and don’t buy a ticket for the day and need to stay in Beijing for a while, don’t forget to call my grandfather.”
Liu Jingxue said perfunctorily, "No problem."
She could have just flown there in two or three hours, so there was no need to bother Mr. Zhou.
But in order to avoid this person's nagging, she pretended to agree.
Remembering that Lightning had already passed the clear road, it would not be convenient to lie to a few people and say that they would take him there together, so Liu Jingxue could only entrust Lightning to a few people.
"When I leave, Lightning will be left in your care."
Zhao Junhao promised, "Leave the lightning to us, Xiaoxue, don't worry.
I guarantee that it will be plump and white.”
Liu Jingxue burst out laughing and really wanted to ask him how he managed to raise a black wolfdog so fat and white.
Being fat is possible, but being white is impossible.
“Brother Zhao, then I’ll leave Lightning to you.
I want to see how you can turn a black dog into a white dog." Liu Jingxue asked solemnly.
"To be honest, I also think that in this icy and snowy season, a black dog running there is really too eye-catching.
Not good for hiding oneself.
It would be great if it was white, so it wouldn’t be noticed even if it ran in front of its prey.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu and Zhou Mingxuan both laughed.
Zhao Junhao opened his mouth wide and stood there in a daze.
Can he say that he just spoke too quickly and said it without thinking?
It was too late for him to retract that statement now.
“Junhao, Grandpa Wu, I also want to see you show off your magical powers and turn the black dog into a white dog.
Please don’t let me down.”
Zhou Mingxuan looked at Zhao Junhao with disdain and said, "You have to take this job yourself, don't ask me.
Anyway, I can’t turn a black dog into a white dog.”
Zhao Junhao quickly used the serving chopsticks to pick up a lot of Liu Jingxue's favorite dishes from the hot pot and put them in her bowl, then said in a slightly flattering tone,
"Xiaoxue, why don't we forget what I just said."
He deliberately made a bitter face and said, "I just slipped up.
I can’t turn a black dog into a white dog.
You can't ask someone to replace the lightning."
Liu Jingxue smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I know you just spoke too quickly.
All you have to do is help me take good care of Lightning and keep him fat.
As for Bai, there is no need for that.”
Lightning is now more than seven months old. Because he eats spiritual food and spiritual meat on a daily basis, he is larger than other wolfdogs of the same age.
According to Zhou Mingxuan, its size is now not much different from its mother, an adult wolfdog.
The few of them did not have any doubts. After all, they knew that Liu Jingxue had no shortage of meat or food, and Lightning's food must be much better than its mother's.
A larger size would make sense.
After the heavy snow stopped for a few days, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao went to the town and found out that the bus service from Linshan Town to Xi City had been resumed.
Liu Jingxue packed her things and entrusted Lightning and her home to the two men to look after. She declined their offer to take her to the town to take a bus, and with the three men's repeated instructions, Liu Jingxue set off carrying several large bags.
