Chapter 44 Chapter 44

Knowing that they were leaving today, Chen Zhishu specially sent a letter of introduction.

Xie Mingzhu opened it and saw that it read: Here is Comrade Xie Mingzhu, an educated youth sent to the countryside by my unit, female, aged 21, a member of the Communist Youth League, returning to Shencheng City due to illness, and needs a transit on the way, please contact me for hope.

Below is the signature and official seal of the brigade.

There are both names and genders, and there is no ID card yet, so the letter of introduction is naturally the best proof of identity.

Xie Mingzhu thanked him again and again, and handed him the keys to the educated youth dormitory.

"There are still a lot of vegetables in the vegetable field at the back, as well as the ones we just planted, which will be eaten after a while." Xie Mingzhu said again.

After speaking, he put the letter of introduction close to his body, nodded his thanks, and said some polite words.

Chen Zhishu waved his hand, turned around and left without saying anything.

Xie Mingzhu glanced at Huo Xuan and said softly, "Let's go!"

As soon as he left the yard, he saw Wu Baozhen running towards here with the child in his arms.

He was still holding a cloth bag in his hand, and he didn't know what was in it.

Seeing Xie Mingzhu, they hadn't left yet, so they quickened their pace.

After running to the front, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I can still make it in time, I was afraid that you would leave!"

While talking, he handed the cloth bag in his hand to Xie Mingzhu, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "There is nothing good at home, only these eggs, I boiled them for you, and you will eat them on the road."

The eggs were still warm and had clearly just been cooked.

Xie Mingzhu subconsciously refused.

Wu Baozhen was afraid that she would refuse, so she hurriedly said: "I have nothing to give you, I can only give you this, if you don't accept it, then you will look down on me!"

While talking, he kept a straight face, as if he was really angry.

Seeing her like this, Xie Mingzhu took the eggs away: "Then I won't be polite."

Wu Baozhen was silent for a long time, and finally said softly: "Bon voyage."

Xie Mingzhu nodded lightly: "You also take care."

After walking a long distance, when Xie Mingzhu turned her head, she was still holding the child and standing there, watching them silently.

Seeing her turn around, he waved to her again.

Xie Mingzhu withdrew her gaze.

It is said that marriage is a woman's second reincarnation, if the reincarnation is not good, it will be lost forever.

Aware of her depression, Huo Xuan reached out and held her hand.

His hands were big and hot, and they wrapped hers tightly.

Xie Mingzhu raised her head and looked at him with some surprise.

But he raised his lips and said with a smile, "Hurry up, you won't be able to catch the train any longer."

Xie Mingzhu glanced at the tightly held hands of the two of them again, and then looked up at his smiling face. She didn't say anything, but just laughed along with her.

The two walked all the way to the commune, and it was almost noon.

After eating at the restaurant, the two also caught the bus to the county seat.

The train ticket is after four o'clock, so I can go to the county right now, just in time.

Not many people got on the bus, so the two found two adjacent seats and sat together.

The county seat is forty or fifty miles away from the commune. Although it is not too far away, it is not easy to walk because there is no asphalt road and the road is rough.

In addition, the car stopped at the beck and call, and they stopped and walked all the way. It took them more than two hours to reach the county.

Fortunately, the last stop of this car was at the train station, which saved them from having to transfer to another bus.

There is still some time before the departure time of the train, so there is no need for the two of them to worry.

The times have changed in the past two years, as can be seen from the flow of people at the train station.

There were not so many people in the old train station.

There are too many people and luggage, and they are constantly pushing forward one by one, as if they are afraid that they will not be able to get on the bus.

Xie Mingzhu and Huo Xuan were not in a hurry, nor did they push forward, they just waited for them to squeeze into the car, and then they got into the car.

There are not many people getting on the soft sleeper compartment, after all, ordinary people cannot buy soft sleeper tickets.

In general, you can only buy it when you reach the level.

If Huo Xuan hadn't happened to have friends from the Ministry of Railways, they would have had no choice but to sit all the way back home.

Entering their box, there are four beds in total, and there are only two of them at the moment.

"Huo Xuan!"

After putting away their luggage, they heard someone calling them.

Xie Mingzhu was taking out the blanket and was about to spread it on the bed, when she heard the sound, she turned her head and looked over.

I saw a young man about 20 years old with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing at the door, looking at them with a smile.

Seeing him wearing a blue railway uniform, Xie Mingzhu knew that he was Huo Xuan's friend.

Huo Xuan also turned to look at him, and said with a smile, "Are you here today?"

The man nodded and continued: "I'm on duty today, and I specially selected today's tickets for you so that I can take care of you."

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Xie Mingzhu standing behind him, and asked with a smile, "Would you like to introduce me?"

Before Huo Xuan could speak, Xie Mingzhu put down the blanket in her hand, took a step forward, stretched out her hand, and introduced herself first, "Hello, my name is Xie Mingzhu."

After a pause, he looked back at Huo Xuan again, and then said, "We grew up in the same big yard with Huo Xuan."

The man immediately showed a meaningful smile, and said with a light smile: "I know, I have known you for a long time!"

While talking, he took off his white gloves, stretched out his right hand, shook Xie Mingzhu lightly, and then quickly let go, "My name is Zong Shengli, nice to meet you."

Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "I would also like to thank you for your help this time. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to take such a comfortable train."

They came up as family members of employees, so they naturally had sleeper benefits.

"When the bus arrives in Shanghai, I'll treat you to a meal to show my thanks."

"Huo Xuan and I have been in a relationship for many years. He also helped me a lot before. Helping each other is what we should do. What are you doing with those polite words!"

Zong Shengli smiled while waving his hands, "Also, I don't think we are much older than each other, so don't say 'you' or 'you', I am in the prime of my life, call me old."

Xie Mingzhu called it that just out of respect, seeing that he didn't like it, she didn't call it again.

"You can call me Shengli, Xiao Zong is also fine." Zong Shengli continued, "If you don't mind, you can call me Big Brother Zong."

Upon hearing his words, Huo Xuan silently glanced at him.

Seeing this, Zong Shengli quickly said with a smile, "I'm just kidding!"

Then, he raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said seriously: "I'm going to work later, I won't chat with you, I'll call you later when it's dinner time!"

After dropping this sentence, before they could say anything else, he waved to them, then turned and left.
