Through the book nine zeros as a blessing

Chapter 9
Yun Chanjuan refused to say anything at first, but she couldn't help her daughter's hard work, so she could only agree in the end.

The next morning, Mu Xiao hurriedly set off with an old cloth bag on his back.

She went to the county seat by car first, and then transferred to the suburban train station.

After checking the ticket, she followed the crowd to the platform, and soon boarded the train to the provincial capital.

The train was crowded with people of all kinds making noise.

In this era, landline telephones were not popular yet, and mobile phones as big as big bricks were rare and extremely expensive. Rich people tied a pager the size of playing cards around their waists, and after calling from the radio station, they would find a public phone to call back.

Mu Xiao looked around with great interest, very excited.

The provincial capital is about five hours' drive away from the county seat. When the train entered the station in the evening, she followed the crowd to the exit.

There were many people outside the train station soliciting customers to stay in small hotels. She lied that she had someone to pick her up, and then found a bus stop to take a bus to the city.

The city is brightly lit and full of shops.

She found a small noodle shop and ate two bowls of noodles to fill her stomach, and then asked the noodle shop owner if there was any cheap and safe small hotel nearby.

The boss is a little old, seeing that she is alone, and looks very beautiful, so he hurried to show her the way.

"There is a hotel in front of it called 'Yilan' Hotel. It is not very cheap, but it has been in business for more than 20 years, and the people who live there are regular customers. Girls, don't run around alone at night, go find a room and stay."

Mu Xiao thanked her with a smile, and quickly found the small hotel, and asked for the cheapest single room to live in.

After a day's driving, she was so exhausted that she locked the doors and windows and blocked the door with two chairs before she fell asleep in peace.

The next morning, when it was daylight, she hurried to the clothing wholesale market after washing up.

The wholesale market is in the city center, and many people know it. She asked for directions and found it in a short while.

The market is huge, five stories high, wholesale stores open early, and many stores have already started doing business.

Mu Xiao hurriedly started looking for underwear stores, one after another, comparing them one by one in terms of quality, price, and style.

It wasn't until noon that she finally found the bra and underwear she was most satisfied with. She bought a big bag for nearly 300 yuan.

Fortunately, the underwear is made of cloth and is not too heavy, so she carried it on her back in her own rag wrap.

Afterwards, she bought three meat buns on the side of the road, and devoured two of them.

Then, she found a bus at the bus station, and after going around twice, she finally came to the gate of the train station.

The train ticket cost 45 yuan, and she bought the next one with heartache.

After waiting for more than half an hour, I finally got on the train back to the county seat.

There was free hot water supply in the car, and I drank three full cups before finally slowing down the dryness of my throat.

It was getting dark, and the train still needed an hour to arrive.

She took out the meat buns and ate them with hot water, but she was still very hungry, so she had to pour an extra glass of water and drink it slowly.

She only had two yuan left on her, and it was getting dark now, and the bus back to Yuntan Village had long since left, so she had to go back to her grandmother's house to rest tonight.

The train was delayed for more than half an hour on the road, and when it arrived at the county railway station, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

There are motorcycles and bicycles at the exit to carry people back to the city, but they all charge more than four yuan.

Mu Xiao felt sorry for the money, so she ran to her grandmother's house with a rag bag on her back.

Running and stopping along the way, the weather was hot and sweaty soon.

I reached the west of the city by the dim street lights, walked two streets, turned three alleys, and finally arrived at the door of my grandmother's house.

The weather is hot and the house is stuffy, and the old man still hasn't rested, chatting with his old neighbor at the door to enjoy the cool.

"Grandma!" Mu Xiao called out.

Mrs. Yun was startled, and stood up abruptly: "...Xiaoxiao?"
