The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70
Chapter 7 Setting Off for the Countryside
Xin Hai's voice interrupted Xin Yi's self-absorption.
"Hai-ge'er, wait a moment, your sister will be ready soon!"
Xin Yi didn't have time to appreciate her own changes. She quickly finished washing up and opened the door.
"Go quickly, it's not good to hold it in for too long!"
The conversation between the two also woke up Xinren and his wife. Thinking that the two sisters were going to Heicheng for rural work today, they hurriedly got up to prepare breakfast and food for the journey.
"Yiyi, if you can't sleep, go check your luggage to see if you've forgotten anything!"
Xin Yi obediently took Mei Fang's arm, "Aunt Mei, I've already checked, everything's fine. Let me help you make breakfast!"
Mei Fang shooed Xin Yi out of the kitchen, saying, "Your dad and I will cook. You sit down and rest. You still have three days and two nights of travel ahead of you. You're going to suffer a lot!"
Xin Yi couldn't refuse, so she went to the living room, sat down, and closed her eyes to rest.
Breakfast was ready, and Mei Zhi came out of her room to wash up and eat breakfast quietly.
Seeing that it was almost time, Mei Fang called Xin Yi into her room and took out a stack of money and receipts.
"Yiyi, there's still 700 yuan in savings at home. I'll keep 200 for household expenses, and the rest is yours. Be generous when you're traveling, even if you're poor. Don't be stingy with money. If you need money or encounter any difficulties, let us know immediately, and we'll find a way to help you!"
His words revealed genuine care.
Xin Yi unconsciously hugged Mei Fang, "Mom, I was ignorant before. From now on, our family will be fine. You and Dad can just wait to enjoy the blessings that my brother and I have!"
"What did you call me?"
"Mother, thank you!"
The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly and cried their hearts out. It was only after Xinren reminded them that time was running out that they reluctantly parted ways.
Mei Fang quickly ran to the kitchen and took out three lunch boxes, handing two of them to Xin Yi. "Yi Yi, these are the food I've prepared for you on your journey. If it's not enough, just buy some food on the train. Don't deprive yourself!"
He then handed the remaining lunchbox to Mei Zhi, saying, "You too, take good care of yourself and work hard to build up the countryside!"
Mei Zhi looked at her lunchbox, then at Xin Yi's, and really wanted to throw it away. But thinking that she might as well take it, she stiffly replied, "Thank you, Auntie!"
He then picked up his luggage and walked out of the house without looking back.
Mei Fang and Xin Hai originally wanted to go to the train station to see Xin Yi off, but the train station is now a mixed bag, and Xin Hai is too young. If he encounters a human trafficker, it will be troublesome.
Xin Ren carried two large bags of luggage and walked out of the house first, followed closely by Xin Yi. Suddenly, Xin Hai broke free from Mei Fang's embrace and hugged Xin Yi.
"Sister Yiyi, can you not leave? I can't bear to part with you!"
Tears streamed down her face as she spoke.
Xin Yi comforted him, saying, "Hai-ge'er, your sister is going to help build the countryside and do good deeds. You should stay home and study, and listen to your parents. Your sister will come back to see you when she has time. If you are good, your sister will bring you pheasants and rabbits. Do you want some?"
Xin Hai buried his head in Xin Yi's arms, "I want her, but I want my sister even more!"
"Sweetie, this is your sister's job. Look, Mom and Dad both have their own jobs, so you have to understand your sister, okay? When your sister earns money, she'll take you to ride in cars, trains, and airplanes. You have to be a good girl!"
Perhaps it was the allure of trains and airplanes, or perhaps it was realizing the importance of working and earning money, but Xin Hai relented, ran back to Mei Fang's side, and sobbed, "Sister Yi Yi, you can go now, I'll be good!"
Mei Fang wiped away her tears and nodded to Xin Yi, indicating that she could leave. Xin Yi, her nose stinging, turned and left.
The three of them arrived at the train station. Xin Ren put his daughter's luggage away and then quietly took out a wad of cash and handed it to Xin Yi.
"Yiyi, this is the money your father secretly saved up. Your Aunt Mei doesn't know about it, so don't be reluctant to spend it. Write back if anything happens. If you really can't hold on any longer, your father will try to get you back to the city. You must take good care of yourself!"
Xin Yi knew she couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to accept, "Dad, I'll give you your secret stash of money from now on. Don't worry, I can take care of myself!"
Seeing that it was almost time, Xin Ren said goodbye to Mei Zhi and got out of the car.
Once Xin Ren was completely out of sight, Xin Yi sat back down in her seat, her heart filled with warmth as she thought back to her parents in this life.
Looking up, Xin Yi saw Mei Zhi sitting opposite her staring at her with resentment. She immediately turned to look out the window. As long as Mei Zhi didn't bother her, she wouldn't bother with this green tea bitch.
The carriage was gradually filling up when suddenly a voice rang out.
"Sir, I'm feeling a bit unwell, could I switch seats with you?"
Xin was leaning against the window, lost in thought, imagining a carefree life ahead, completely unaware that someone was calling her.
"Hey, comrade, wake up!"
Xin Yi felt someone tap her shoulder, turned around and asked, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
The woman who spoke said impatiently, "Comrade, I've been calling you for ages and you haven't responded at all. That's incredibly rude of you!"
Well, another innocent white lotus!
"May I ask your name?"
"My name is Li Bailian!"
Xin Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing!
Seeing Xin Yi's reaction, Li Bailian, though unsure what she was laughing at, sensed it wasn't a good thing and questioned, "What are you laughing at! Is my name funny?"
Xin Yi waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I just thought of a white lotus flower, hahaha!"
"Stop giving me this nonsense. I'm not feeling well and I want to switch seats with you. Get out of here!"
"Switch seats with me? Who do you think you are? Why should I give in to you? If you wanted a window seat, why didn't you say so earlier? I don't agree to switch seats!"
After saying that, Xin Yi turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.
Having no other choice, Li Bailian turned to the man beside her for help, "Cousin, look at her! She's a sent-down youth who went to the countryside to help build the rural areas, and she won't even help with this little thing!"
Having no other choice, the man reluctantly said to Xin Yi, "Miss, my name is Tang He. My cousin has indeed been frail and sickly since childhood. Could you please switch seats with me?"
Xin Yi answered decisively, "No!"
Tang He also sensed Xin Yi's difficulty in dealing with him, but he couldn't refuse, so he suggested, "How about this, I'll pay one yuan to switch seats with you!"
Xin Yi remained unmoved.
"Two pieces!"
Three pieces!
Just as Tang He was about to lose his composure, Mei Zhi quickly said, "I'll switch with you. My cousin is just a bit unreasonable, don't take it to heart!"
Although the process wasn't very friendly, he managed to get his cousin a window seat. Tang He handed the money to Mei Zhi and sat down, his fierce expression being noticed by Xin Yi, who was pretending to be asleep.
"Well, we haven't even reached our destination yet, and I've already made enemies. I hope they won't be assigned to the same place as me, or I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself!"
