Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug
Chapter 22 The Uninhibited Life of the 60 Educated Youths 21
The two of them grew up in the compound, so even when something happened to Ji Han's family, Shao Yu was there sometimes, and they were able to get into the compound relatively smoothly.
"Hey, isn't this Xiaoyu and Xiaohan? You're back from your vacation to visit family?"
"Oh, Xiaoyu and Xiaohan are back. How was life in the countryside? Was it tough?"
......
Ji Han and his companion arrived just as everyone was picking vegetables and cooking. With their large bags and bundles, they were easily noticed by the aunties and older women in the courtyard. Before they even got home, the news had already reached the Shi family.
As for the Ji family, Ji Han had a bad feeling from the occasional glances and hesitant expressions of the aunties.
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu smiled and responded to the greetings from the group of aunties and grandmothers. Before their smiles froze, they finally stepped through the Shi family's gate.
"My God! Isn't that my youngest son?!"
Suddenly, someone jumped out of the courtyard and grabbed Shi Shaoyu in their arms. If Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu hadn't reacted quickly, the package might have been thrown out and hit someone.
"Mom, Mom, let go! There are people around! Let go!"
Hearing her son's embarrassed voice, Shi's mother released him at the right moment, then turned around and bumped into Ji Han's handsome face.
"Oh dear, Xiaohan came back too. Let your aunt take a look and see if she's lost weight?"
Ji Han's face turned bright red instantly, and Shi Shaoyu next to him laughed at him without a care in the world. In the end, Shi's mother couldn't stand it anymore and pulled the two of them into the house.
"Xiulian, Xiulian, Xiaoyu and Xiaohan are back. Hurry up and add a couple more dishes."
A loud echo immediately came from the kitchen. Li Xiulian was the wife of the third brother of the Shi family. Grandma Shi, hearing the commotion, also hurried over.
"Oh my grandson, he's really suffered this time. Look how thin he's become..."
Seeing Shi Shaoyu's noticeably rounder face, Grandma Shi ultimately refrained from saying the last two words against her will. On the other hand, Ji Han, who never gained weight despite eating a lot, was constantly told by Grandma Shi and Shi's mother that he had lost weight, clearly indicating that he had suffered a great deal of hardship.
Grandpa Shi and Dad Shi usually don't come home for lunch. Once Third Brother Shi arrives, they can start eating right away. Sitting at the table, Third Brother Shi looked at Shi Shaoyu, who was noticeably fairer and fatter, and could only swallow his complaints about the hardships he had endured. Instead, he inquired in detail about the two men's life in the countryside.
Shi Shaoyu would only say the best things, since they were actually living quite comfortably. As Shi Shaoyu talked about how they had meat every two meals a day for three days, Shi Sange suddenly felt that going to the countryside was really good. At that moment, he selectively ignored the letter that Shi Wujie had just sent, complaining about being poor and tired.
After lunch, and after Brother Shi and the others went to work, Ji Han finally had a chance to ask Grandma Shi about the Ji family's situation. The day after Ji Han went to the countryside, a group of people broke into the Ji family's house and ransacked it for a while.
Fortunately, Grandpa Ji had made preparations in advance. Apart from some clothes and items that those people called "too exquisite," they didn't find anything else. Even so, Grandma Ji was dragged to the platform for criticism and denunciation. Grandpa Ji was worried about Grandma Ji, so he went with her.
After that trip back, both elderly people fell ill, and their illnesses became quite serious. Those people were afraid that the situation would escalate to the point of death and become unmanageable, since Grandpa Ji's position was still there; he was only suspended from his post and had not been dismissed.
After Grandpa Ji and Grandma Ji finally recovered from their illnesses, those people couldn't wait to issue Grandma Ji a notice of relocation. However, Grandma Ji didn't know the specific location of the relocation and had to wait until Grandpa Ji came back in the evening to find out.
After finding out the situation, Ji Han couldn't sit still any longer. Despite his exhaustion, he went with Shi Shaoyu to the largest department store in Kyoto. Ji Han wasn't short of money; the Ji family had given him a lot before he left. However, he was short of tickets. Many of the tickets he had taken with him had geographical and time limits, and he had almost used them all.
The two of them exchanged the few hundred yuan they had left in the system for vouchers, and then went on a shopping spree in the mall, buying everything they could get their hands on, from food and daily necessities to brown sugar, malted milk powder, and various nutritional supplements, as well as clothes and quilts.
In addition, the two went to different hospitals and bought some commonly used medicines. Ji Han was afraid that the two elderly people would miss the opportunity for treatment due to insufficient medicine and eventually pass away.
That evening, as soon as Grandpa Shi returned, Ji Han quickly went up to greet him and inquire about the two elderly people's destination.
“Xiaohan, when things were bad, your grandparents were afraid that your grandmother’s side would affect you, so they specifically told us not to tell you about their situation. Now that you’ve come back, it seems you’re doing quite well in the countryside, so I’ll break my promise and tell you the address.”
"But you must remember that your own safety is the most important thing. All actions must be taken only after you are sure of your own safety. Otherwise, your grandparents would rather die than implicate you."
"Xiao Han, do you understand?"
Under the old man's sincere gaze, Ji Han nodded firmly. Having received Ji Han's reply, the old man, unsure whether he was truly at ease, eventually told Ji Han the address of his grandparents' relocation, along with the contact information of a deputy factory director at the farm. It was said that this deputy factory director had been a soldier under Grandpa Shi's command back then.
Having obtained the address, Ji Han had no interest in sightseeing in Kyoto. After buying tickets, he dragged Shi Shaoyu onto the return train early the next morning. Yes, the return journey. Fortunately, the farm where Ji's grandparents had been sent to was not far from the Qianjin Commune where Ji Han had been sent to the countryside. It would only take half a day by bus, and if they insisted on riding bicycles, well, it would take a whole day if they put in some effort.
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu took the train directly to Yunling County, the neighboring county of Chongshan County, and then took a bus from the county town directly to Yunjin Farm.
The farm was much larger than Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had imagined. Based on the information they had gathered along the way, after getting off the bus, the two did not go directly to the labor camp, but instead went straight to the so-called deputy factory director's office.
The deputy factory director, Cui Jianguo, upon hearing that two young men were looking for him, personally put down his work and came to the gate to greet them.
"Xiao Shi and Xiao Ji, you're here! Come in, come in!"
"You two have grown into big young men now. When you were little, Uncle Cui used to hold you in his arms!"
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu also pretended to be very obedient and called him Uncle Cui, then followed Deputy Factory Director Cui directly to his office.
