Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"We are leaving now. We will see you at the university if we have the chance!"

All good things must come to an end. After helping the other educated youths to pack up their new residence, Shi Yan and Chen Qinghe had no plans to stay any longer. They took their few luggages, said goodbye to the few people at the educated youths, and went into the city.

To get from a small county town in the northeast to the capital, you need to take a three-hour bus ride, then transfer in the city and take a two-day and two-night train ride to reach the capital.

After entering the city, the two went directly to the bus station. At that time, the bus station in the small county town was still very simple and there was no ticket window.

The two of them boarded a bus directly to the city. After they were seated, a female comrade with a small bag tied around her waist came over to collect the ticket money.

"Two young comrades, two roles each."

The female comrade who was speaking was obviously very skilled in the business. She took the four cents handed over by Shi Yan, without even looking at them, and accurately tore off two tickets from her waist bag and handed them to Shi Yan.

"We have 15 minutes left to drive. The journey will take three hours and we won't stop in between. If you need to go to the bathroom, go now. If you want to get off the bus, we won't open the door even if you poop in your pants."

Although the conductor's words were a bit rough, it was already late and if we drove on the dirt road for three hours, it would be dark before we reached the city.

If they stop on the way in the dark and get lost, the driver and the ticket seller can't do anything about it.

So this is their routine, to say the ugly things up front.

"Thank you for reminding."

"Thank you for reminding."

The two of them spoke in unison, and couldn't help but look at each other again. There was a faint smile in both of their eyes, and the atmosphere between them seemed to be about to draw a thread. The ticket seller curled his lips when he saw it, but didn't say much.

After sitting on the shaking bus for more than three hours, Shi Yan didn't know how many times she fell asleep and was woken up on the bus. When they arrived in the city, they went to the train station and exchanged their tickets for the next morning. Then they took the letter of introduction and booked a room in a guesthouse near the train station.

The streets in the city are much more lively than those in the small county. Although there are very few popular entertainment programs at this moment, you can still see many young boys and girls strolling around the streets with smiles on their faces.

"Yanran, do you want to go for a walk on the street and buy some food? You must be hungry now."

The two stood at the door of the guesthouse. They were in an unfamiliar place and had no idea where to go.

"Forget it. I want to borrow the kitchen of the guesthouse. I brought a small portion of the food that Director Lin gave me this time in my luggage. I want to borrow the kitchen to cook it so that I can eat it on the train tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll give you a hand."

The two gave the owner of the hotel one dollar and borrowed the kitchen. The seasonings were ready in the kitchen, and Shi Yan went back to the house to get ginger, aniseed and the like, but in fact she directly generated them using her supernatural powers.

The two of them spent an hour making more than 20 pancakes with white flour, braised eggs, and used the remaining brine to make pork stew. Most of the ingredients on hand were used up.

Finally, I cooked a bowl of egg and shredded pork noodles for each of them. After they were full, they took their food and went back to their rooms to sleep.

............

The next day, they both got up very early. Since they had prepared ready-made meals yesterday, they were not worried about being hungry. Before going to the train station, they went to the post office to send telegrams to each family. Shi Yan wanted to inform the Shi family that she was going to the capital to study at university.

Chen Qinghe spoke in more detail. He not only talked about his college life, but also said that he was dating someone and that they would arrive in the capital in two days. Finally, he wrote down the train number and arrival time so that his family wouldn't have to wait for him if they wanted to pick him up at the station but didn't know the time.

The Chen family, who were far away in the capital, were very surprised to receive a telegram from Chen Qinghe, who contacted his family for no reason.

After all, the last time they heard from Chen Qinghe was when he had just been in the countryside for two months. He suddenly wrote back to his family, and in the envelope was a photo of Chen Qinghe with a red background.

But I didn't bring a single word home, only a blank piece of letter sent back with the photo.

"Dad, Grandpa, my eldest brother sent a telegram back saying that he will be back in the next two days, and he will bring his girlfriend back with him!"

Chen Qingyun had just returned home from school this afternoon when he met Xiao Li who was delivering telegrams downstairs. Knowing that it was a telegram from his eldest brother, he opened it and read it downstairs.

He saw at a glance the news that his eldest brother was returning to the capital with his girlfriend in the next two days. He was so surprised and happy that he wanted to share it with his family as soon as possible. He had long forgotten that his eldest brother was coming back to study in university.

"Really? This kid, I was wondering why he sent me a photo with a red background last time. It turns out you are dating. Is he hinting at us?"

Chen's father was also very happy. The mother of his two children passed away early, and there was no housewife to take care of the family. Otherwise, his eldest son would have started a family long ago and would not have to go to the countryside.

Now that his child can find a partner outside, he is naturally very happy and doesn't worry about his eldest son's opinion at all.

"Don't be too happy. This is the first time a girl has come to our house. We have to treat her well. We can't let her think that we are not satisfied with her."

Grandpa Chen is the patriarch of the Chen family and a doctor, so he thinks more carefully and quickly reminded the excited father and son.

"Yes, yes, Qingyun, did your brother say when he will be back? I can ask for leave from work so I can pick them up then."
