Start as a top student after transmigrating.

"Can we walk?" Liu Yumo had a bit of a phobia of riding in cars.

"Okay, sure." Ye Wanwan nodded. In the past, when she went back to her hometown, she would get off here and walk to the rural bus stop to save on bus fare.

"Then let's walk." Liu Yumo breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiang Lina and the others agreed.

"How long will it take?" Chen Dong shook his head and smiled, asking the key question.

"If it's quick, it'll take forty minutes," Ye Wanwan said.

"Forty minutes?"

Liu Yumo felt like crying. "Let's take a car. The roads in the county are at least better than the national highway."

He just wants to get there as soon as possible so he can suffer less.

The roads in the county town are indeed much better than the national highways, with no bumps at all, but the county town buses are all old-fashioned models, and most of them are elderly people, so they smell particularly bad.

In addition, the driver turned the steering wheel very fast and liked to stop abruptly, which made Liu Yumo and the others almost throw up in the car.

Fortunately, it only took less than twenty minutes to get to the station.

It's not far from the rural bus stop, just a two or three-minute walk away. The rural vehicles are minivans, small in size but with plenty of space, and some even have small stools and seats.

Liu Yumo and the others wanted to cry when they saw it.

"Sister Yezi, how long will this ride take?" Liu Yumo took a deep breath and looked at Ye Wanwan expectantly.

"It doesn't take as long as the county bus, about half an hour. We're still short three people, so it'll probably take about ten minutes before the bus departs," Ye Wanwan said.

There were six of them, which was fine. Before, when she came back alone, if she was lucky, she could get on the bus and leave, but if she was unlucky, it was normal to wait for more than half an hour.

"That's good, that's good."

Hearing that it would only take half an hour, Liu Yumo and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ye Zi, is this the last transportation?" Han Ning'er asked weakly, sitting on her suitcase.

"You can continue by car, or you can walk," Ye Wanwan said.

This is rural passenger transport, which travels on the main road and does not go to individual villages. After getting off the bus, you can choose to walk or take one of those mountain village vehicles.

"How long will it take to walk?" Liu Yumo cleverly asked about the time.

"It'll take a while. At a normal pace, it might take two hours," Ye Wanwan said somewhat embarrassedly.

There was no other way; her hometown was located deep in the mountains, and there was no regular passenger transport available, making it very difficult for her to get out of the mountains each time.

"Then let's take the car."

Liu Yumo gave up on walking altogether. Although taking a car was uncomfortable, in their current state, walking would make even a girl who was good at shopping and never got tired cry, let alone him.

More than ten minutes later, the village bread truck set off.

More than half an hour later, they finally arrived at the Fangshan Village drop-off point. Instead of rushing to transfer, Liu Yumo and the others took a moment to catch their breath before boarding the village vehicle.

It's called a bus, but it's really just a three-wheeled vehicle. There's an enclosed shed in the back with two rows of benches inside. There's no fixed departure time; it leaves whenever it's full.

Liu Yumo and his group were sitting in the middle, where the vibrations were not as great as those in the front and back where there were wheels.

This is Ye Wanwan's experience with taking public transportation. Of course, she rarely takes such vehicles. Every time she goes back to or from the village, she usually chooses to walk, as she can't bear to spend a few yuan on transportation.

Except in special weather conditions.

This section of the road was the bumpiest. Although it wasn't as far as the journey back from the county town, the original dirt road was full of potholes because the cement road hadn't yet reached the village, making it impossible to pick up speed.

Moreover, the constant jolting and the occasional tunneling made the discomfort level skyrocket. Liu Yumo and the others had already covered their mouths with their hands, afraid they would vomit at any moment.

"There are plastic bags in the car, you can throw up if you want," Chen Dong reminded her. Ye Wanwan was holding several bags in her hand, ready to catch anyone who wanted to vomit.

Liu Yumo waved his hand, his eyes red from holding back his tears, too distressed to utter a single word.

"Have an orange, it'll make you feel better." Ye Wanwan opened her bag to get them some fruit.

They all waved their hands, not daring to eat anything at a time like this, afraid that they would vomit up anything they hadn't even swallowed.

Ye Wanwan had no choice; she was already used to this kind of transportation and didn't feel anything at all. She would even take out her books to read and do her homework from time to time.

But Liu Yumo and the others had never experienced anything like this before.

I should have bought some motion sickness medicine.

……

"Wow."

Finally, after an hour of agony, Chen Dong and the others got out of the car. Liu Yumo, Jiang Lina, Han Ning'er, and Jing Shanshan couldn't hold back any longer and squatted by the roadside, vomiting violently.

They felt like they were about to vomit bile, and it took them a long time to recover from the discomfort.

Ye Wanwan kept patting their backs, and Chen Dong brought them water.

"No rush, take your time, we've arrived." Chen Dong patted Liu Yumo on the back.

"Brother Dong, how come you don't get carsick?" Liu Yumo rinsed his mouth a few times and turned to look at Chen Dong with curiosity.

"Little Yezi doesn't get carsick either," Chen Dong said with a smile.

"Sister Ye is different. This is her hometown. She's been going on this kind of journey since she was a child, so she's used to it." How can she compare to Ye Wanwan? This is her life.

"Maybe I'm just not naturally prone to motion sickness," Chen Dong said with a casual smile.

He couldn't possibly say that he had already experienced Ye Wanwan's life, or that his life was even more miserable and lonely than Ye Wanwan's.

"It's so good that I don't get carsick."

Han Ning'er and the others were envious, and Ye Wanwan felt the same way.

On the way, she was worried that everyone would be uncomfortable in the car, and she kept checking on Chen Dong. Fortunately, Dong Ge did not have any adverse reactions, otherwise she would have had to take care of five people by herself.

"call."

After a few minutes, Jiang Lina felt much better. She took a sip of water and said with a wry smile, "I admit, I was a bit arrogant at the beginning."

At Qingjiang Bus Station, Jiang Lina thought the five-hour journey was no big deal. She could shop for five hours without getting tired, so traveling by bus was no challenge at all.

They even joked that Liu Yumo was physically weak.

But now she admits she was wrong and admires Ye Wanwan very much.

Somewhat incredulous, she looked at Ye Wanwan and asked, "Sister Ye, have you been commuting back and forth like this all these years while studying at Qingjiang Middle School?"

"I didn't take that many vehicles." Ye Wanwan nodded and then shook her head, indicating that she wouldn't take the bus or the bus back to the village, so as to save on travel expenses.

"Sister Yezi, isn't there a high school in the county?" Liu Yumo couldn't help but ask.

"have."

"Then why not study in the county instead of in Qingjiang? Besides, Qingjiang Middle School isn't a very good school," Liu Yumo asked, puzzled.

In terms of convenience, schools in the county seat are definitely closer than those in the city. In terms of educational resources and quality, No. 1 Middle School is several levels better than Qingjiang Middle School.

Perhaps the middle schools in the county are better.

"Because Qingjiang Middle School promised the most scholarships." Ye Wanwan made no secret of her reason for choosing Qingjiang Middle School.

She also wanted to study in the county town, but her family was poor and there were no good tuition reduction or student aid policies, so they simply couldn't support her to go to school.

She considered giving up and dropping out of school, but her grandmother wouldn't allow it.

Grandma always wanted her to leave the mountains, and the best way to leave the mountains was through education, so she eventually chose Qingjiang Middle School. Even though the journey to school was long, she persevered through it all.

This is her grandmother's expectation, and she cannot let her grandmother down.
