Chapter 231 Vacation to Visit Relatives
Chapter 231 Vacation to Visit Relatives
When Liu Jingxue was passing by the educated youth camp on her way back from the town after mailing a package, she remembered what Zhang Yingchun had said on the day of distributing the meat, that the educated youth were going to go home on vacation.
I don’t know whether Li Jie has asked the team leader for leave or whether he wants to go to the educated youth site to inquire.
But when she remembered that she had asked about Li Jie twice that day, which caused Zhang Yingchun to ask her why she was so concerned about Li Jie, she gave up the plan.
If I go over and ask specifically, and Zhang Yingchun lets the cat out of the bag in front of Li Jie, that would be like alerting the enemy.
It is best to find an excuse that is more reasonable and will not arouse suspicion from others.
I remember that day Zhang Yingchun said that Zheng Jianmin and Qin Fang planned to make bacon out of the meat they were given and then go home.
The reason why her meat can be made into bacon in such a short time is that the time formation accelerates the flow of time.
As for others, who don't have this cheat, it will take a few more days to make jerky.
After a few days, I will go to the educated youth site again, using the excuse of finding out when the educated youth are taking home leave so that I can prepare for my own vacation in the future, and find out when Li Jie will take his vacation.
Four days later, at around ten o'clock in the morning, Liu Jingxue locked the door and went to the educated youth site.
When she arrived at the educated youth site, she found that the gate was not closed tightly, leaving a gap as wide as a person.
It was very lively inside, with voices coming from time to time.
Liu Jingxue knocked on the half-open door a few times to alert everyone in the courtyard of her arrival.
There was a pause in the voices coming from the courtyard, and then a male voice came, "Who's outside?"
Liu Jingxue searched her memory and found that the owner of the voice was Tang Qiangjun.
She pushed the door open a little and walked in. "It's me, Liu Jingxue."
After opening the door and seeing the people standing in the yard, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but sigh that all the educated youth at the site were present today.
Even Li Jie, who was usually elusive, was there for the first time.
Seeing Liu Jingxue, Zhang Yingchun quickly greeted her, "Xiaoxue, you're here, come over here."
Liu Jingxue greeted everyone with a smile, "You are all here today.
What are you talking about? It's so noisy."
Xia Lan explained to her, "We are talking about Zheng Zhiqing, Qin Fang, and Li Jie taking leave to visit their families."
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she couldn't help but sigh that she had come at the right time.
She looked at the three of them, "Zheng Zhiqing, Li Zhiqing, Sister Qin Fang, have you three asked for leave from the team leader?"
Zheng Zhiqing responded as a representative, "We just came back from the brigade headquarters.
The captain has approved our leave and even issued us a letter of introduction."
"Is it that fast?"
Qin Fang said, "We don't have to go to work now, and we are not important people, so why don't we just say something?
We went to the captain's home and told him about the vacation. He immediately took us to the brigade headquarters, introduced our names, and stamped the official seal.
Each person will have a month and a half of vacation. "
Liu Jingxue pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Does this vacation start from today?
When do you plan to go back?
If the holiday starts from today, you still have to buy train tickets, and you don’t know when you can buy one, so you will waste a few days of vacation.”
"The captain was quite easy to talk to. He said the holiday would start the day after tomorrow, giving us one day to prepare and buy train tickets.
Qin Fang and I plan to buy train tickets this afternoon to see if we can get one for tomorrow." Zheng Jianmin replied.
Liu Jingxue looked at Li Jie who was silent on the side, "Li Zhiqing, are you going to buy train tickets with them?"
"I'm not in a hurry, I have relatives in town and I've already asked them to buy tickets for me.
I'll go to town this afternoon and see if they can help me buy a ticket for that day, and then I'll set off."
Liu Jingxue was happy to have obtained the information she wanted to know, but she couldn't leave immediately as that would arouse suspicion.
She looked at Qin Fang and said, "Sister Qin Fang, you are a girl, you must be careful when you take the train alone.
Kidnappers are rampant now, and many of them are gang-raped. You are a young, beautiful, single woman, so you must be careful."
Qin Fang comforted him, "Liu Zhiqing, don't worry, I will be careful.
Besides, I am not alone, Zheng Zhiqing is with me.
We are from the same province, but different cities, but we are on the same train.
When the time comes, I will get off first and he will get off later.
It was like he escorted me all the way.”
"It would be great.
But I'll have to trouble Zheng Zhiqing to be the flower protector along the way." Liu Jingxue pretended not to know their relationship.
Zheng Zhiqing smiled and said, "It is my honor to serve Qin Zhiqing."
As both were educated youth, Liu Jingxue naturally could not favor one over the other. She looked at the others.
"This year, are Zheng Zhiqing and the other three the only ones going to go back on vacation? The rest of you are not going back.
Or is it that the village has restrictions and does not allow too many people to return at the same time? "
Zheng Zhiqing explained, "The team leader said that all educated youth who have served for two years can take a leave of one and a half months to go back to visit their families, but there is no limit on the number of people.
Other old educated youth who have served for two years are also planning to take a vacation.”
"I plan to take a vacation before the New Year so that I can spend the New Year at home and reunite with my family," said Yu Li.
Wang Lihua glanced at Zheng Jianmin and Qin Fang, and said sarcastically, "I also plan to take a break before the New Year and spend the New Year at home.
I am not like some people who only care about themselves and don't care about others.
The Chinese New Year is less than two months away. Wouldn't it be nice to take a vacation and go home to celebrate the New Year at home? Why do I have to go back at this time?
Not only do I not spend the New Year at home, I also make others unable to spend the New Year at home."
Liu Jingxue looked at Wang Lihua strangely. Her words were probably directed at Zheng Jianmin and Qin Fang.
Qin Fang smiled awkwardly and explained to Liu Jingxue, "Something happened at home, so I can't wait until the New Year to go back.
Zheng Zhiqing was worried about my safety, so he decided to go back with me before the New Year.
In fact, the two of them went back early with the intention of visiting both families and settling their affairs.
But this matter must be kept secret from Wang Lihua, otherwise there is no telling what kind of trouble she will cause.
Since we have to keep it a secret, we might as well keep it a secret to prevent others from letting Wang Lihua know.
Therefore, they could only tell others that they had to go back early because of something at home.
Unexpectedly, she still caught Wang Lihua's attention. If she had known, she would have said that Zheng Jianmin had something to do at home and had to go back early.
For safety reasons, she planned to go back early with him.
What could Liu Jingxue say? She just smiled and said, "We are all educated youth, and you are on the same train, so of course you should help each other.
It is best to go back together.
If other female educated youth want to go back, it is better to travel with male educated youth.
It is indeed too dangerous to travel alone.”
"I thought so too, so I made an agreement with Fang Dong to go back together.
But even though we were on the same bus, he got off first and I got off later.
But at least we can travel together for a while, which is better than being alone the whole time." Yu Li echoed Liu Jingxue's words.
Upon hearing this, Wang Lihua looked at Zhou Wenbing and said, "Zhou Zhiqing, are you sure you don't want to go back?
If you go back, we can go together, and I won’t have to go back alone.”
Zhou Wenbing shook his head and said, "The round trip fare is not cheap, it's enough for me to buy a lot of food and my mother's medicine for a while.
I can’t bear to spend this money.”
Wang Lihua curled her lips, wondering how she could have such a fellow villager who was so poor.
"Wang Lihua, why don't you not go back? It's not safe for you to go alone." Liu Zhaodi advised.
Tang Qiangjun also said, "Yes, you should wait until Brother Zhou saves enough money before going back with him."
Wang Lihua said unhappily, "I'm afraid I'll have to wait until my next life for him to save enough money."
After hearing this, Zhou Wenbing just smiled and was not angry.
When the others heard what Wang Lihua said, they gave up the idea of continuing to persuade her.
Liu Jingxue would never ask for trouble.
After staying at the educated youth site for a while and chatting with them, Liu Jingxue went home.
