Chapter 111 Sweep 7
After leaving that courtyard, Ziyue did not go home, but went directly to another city.
She didn't use a shapeshifting talisman; instead, she changed into ordinary clothes, darkened her skin several shades with a dark foundation, and applied makeup, making her eyebrows thicker and her lips fuller...
It can be said that her appearance is completely different from her original appearance.
Even if Qing Ziji walked right in front of her, he might not recognize his younger sister.
Ziyue went directly to each county, sweeping through them one by one. Wherever there was a supply and marketing cooperative, a department store, a grocery store, or a slaughterhouse, she would go in and make a purchase.
In just half a day, they used up all the nationwide tickets with the approaching dates.
Various seasonings, candies, pastries, fabrics, clothes, shoes, grains, meat...
She buys whatever she sees; she's not picky at all.
Ziyue teleported back to that secluded little courtyard in Beijing, put all the things that Xingchen, Xingyue, and Xingmeng had bought into her space, and then teleported home directly.
I took a shower before going out.
Upon entering the kitchen, I stored two of the stewed, tender pig's trotters into my spatial storage to create the illusion that I had eaten them. I left the remaining two in the earthenware pot, so anyone who wanted to eat them that evening could do so.
Then I sat leisurely on the veranda in the courtyard. It was only four o'clock in the afternoon, and the weather in September was still hot.
Thinking about my next steps.
Tomorrow is the date for her to go to the countryside. It seems she doesn't need to bring anything. Her older brother took everything to the post office today, and it will be sent directly to where she's going. She doesn't need to worry about it.
Furthermore, after her fierce actions yesterday, Kyoto will likely remain in chaos for some time.
Moreover, the college entrance examination might be moved up, it's very possible!
In other words, her time in the countryside might not even last two years; it could be over in just one year.
Ziyue silently applauded herself in her heart. She was really great!
Although she doesn't care where she lives, she can definitely live well anywhere.
But if she can return to Beijing sooner, her grandfather and brother won't have to worry about her so much.
"Host, your brother is back."
Ziyue came to her senses and heard the sound of the door opening.
Qing Ziji pushed his bicycle in, with a food box hanging on one of the handlebars and a new suitcase in the other hand—oh, one of those old-fashioned leather suitcases—and a small package on the back seat.
Ziyue stepped forward and took the leather suitcase he was carrying.
The leather suitcase is brown overall, with two aluminum buckles on both sides and a handle in the middle of the buckles. It's actually quite exquisite.
Needless to say, this was definitely prepared for her.
"Thank you, brother."
Qing Ziji came in carrying things, saying, "Why are you being so polite with me, brother?"
"I've mailed most of the things to you. Check if there's anything else missing and organize it yourself. Oh, by the way, that small package was something your sister Xiao prepared for you. Take it back."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, brother."
Ziyue returned to her room, opened the small package, which contained five hundred yuan and various tickets. With so much, it was clear that Huang Wenxiao had prepared it herself; her parents must have also contributed.
The package also contained several pieces of underwear that girls wore in that era. Judging from the stitching, the aunt must have made them herself. I have to say, girls are so thoughtful.
The original owner lost her parents at a young age and had no female elders around her. The neighbor's older sister took on the role of an older sister, and Wenxiao's mother took on the role of a mother.
It was precisely because Sister Wenxiao's family was so kind, and they treated her and her brother so well.
That's why the original owner volunteered to go to the countryside, not wanting her brother to delay her marriage.
In the evening, Huang Wenxiao brought over a stew pot containing a stewed old hen.
The aroma is tangy.
This was stewed by her aunt and asked her to bring it over, but she didn't stay to eat with them. She just ruffled her hair and considerately left the space to the family of three.
-
That evening, the family of three enjoyed another very lavish dinner together.
Aunt Huang prepared a fragrant stewed old hen, Qing Weian brought back a roast duck, and Qing Ziji prepared some side dishes in advance, as well as two tender and delicious braised pig's trotters.
It's unusual for Grandpa to open a bottle of wine today, as a farewell gift for her.
The seemingly joyful atmosphere of a family reunion could not conceal the sadness of parting.
However, both Qing Weian and Qing Ziji tried their best to appear normal.
Ziyue pretended not to know anything, happily livening up the atmosphere and acting as a source of joy. She proudly demonstrated her acupuncture skills, which were absolutely capable of stunning several people, and tried her best to put the two elders at ease.
Qing Weian took out a stack of various tickets and many bundles of ten-yuan bills, totaling one thousand yuan.
If it weren't inconvenient to carry, Grandpa and Grandpa would have wanted to give her even more.
Although Ziyue had no shortage of food, they still accepted it all, as only by accepting it could the two parents feel at ease.
If she didn't take these money and tickets with her, her parents would be so worried that they wouldn't be able to eat or sleep.
Moreover, the Qing family is quite well-off and not short of money.
There were coupons for grain, meat, cloth, sugar, eggs, pastries, oil, and even bicycles, TVs, and sewing supplies.
Ok?
Uh-huh? ?
Is this a plan to let her settle down there?
Why are there TV tickets and sewing tickets?
Bicycle tickets are still usable; they're convenient for everyday travel, and buying a bicycle is easy.
Let's forget about the TV and the sewing machine.
Ziyue picked and chose, keeping the TV ticket and the sewing ticket, and keeping the rest.
Qing Wei'an and Qing Ziji saw this but didn't say anything. They were only thinking about preparing everything for Yueyue, forgetting that Yueyue might not need things like a TV or sewing machine in the countryside.
Ziyue packed a few more things, including two leather suitcases, a military canvas backpack that could be worn on the body, and a military water bottle that could be carried on the body.
The canvas backpack contained food that Qing Ziji had prepared for Ziyue to eat on the road.
It consisted of several large meat buns bought from state-run restaurants, a box of dumplings he had cooked himself, and a few boiled eggs.
These days, trains are relatively slow. It would take about twenty hours to travel from Beijing to Ziyue's rural hometown by train.
Moreover, because the educated youth set off together, Qingziji and her grandfather couldn't buy sleeper tickets for their younger sister/granddaughter separately; they could only buy hard seat tickets together.
The two of them felt heartbroken just thinking about it.
Time waits for no one, and farewells will eventually come.
At 2 PM that afternoon, Beijing Railway Station—
