Happiness System

Qin Xi hummed and said, "I woke up a long time ago. I thought there would be food in the restaurant, but I didn't expect that the train had just started. The attendant told me that this station is a big station and I can go for a walk if I'm bored.

Alas, the biscuits are not filling my stomach. I don’t want to eat too much and finish all the food in one go. It’s better not to eat them. Wait a while, it will be done soon.”

They have to go to Shicheng to transfer buses and will arrive at the station at about 12:40.

They started packing their luggage at twelve o'clock. At twelve twenty, Zhao Xiaofen stayed behind to look after the luggage, while Qin Xi and the other four went to the restaurant to have lunch.

When they came back, the train was about to stop at the station. The station only stopped for five minutes. In order to avoid the chaos and the luggage being squeezed out, they agreed that Li Jianshe, Cheng Bing and Zhao Xiaofen would pass the things on the train, while Qin Xi, Jin Zhe and Jing Yan would go out to pick up the luggage.

There were many people who had the same idea as them, but they had less luggage so it was relatively smooth. Some luggage groups with more luggage almost couldn't get off the bus, and some even jumped out of the window in a hurry and sprained their feet.

Except for Li Jianshe and Cheng Bing, the others had little stuff, and the two girls didn't need any help, so Jin Zhe and Jing Yan lent them a hand.

Following the leader out of the train station, we saw four large freight trucks parked in the open space outside.

Qin Xi was shocked. There were nearly 300 people in the two carriages of this group of educated youth, but only four cars were dispatched. That meant that each car had to seat about 70 people, and that also included everyone's large and small luggage?

She has good hearing and eyesight. The loudspeaker over there told everyone to get on the bus according to their classification, and there was a cardboard hanging on the bus.

The biggest words on the cardboard are the names of the counties, one is Bai County and the other is Tao County, with two cars in each county.

Qin Xi and her friends had less luggage, so they came out earlier and walked to the front. When she saw clearly, she immediately pointed to the two cars on the right and said, "Those two are from Tao County. Pan Di, run over and see which one we should get on."

Zhou Pandi didn't develop any feelings with the heroine Huo Yueyao in a whole day and night, because of the ungrateful behavior of the previous group. She couldn't stand the fact that she couldn't become friends with those people, so as soon as she got off the car, she joined Qin Xi and their temporary small team.

It’s not that Qin Xi wanted to order her around on purpose, but she had the least luggage and was the most relaxed.

"I understand." Zhou Pandi ran away. As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared into the crowd.

"Let's hurry over and try to grab a better spot!" Qin Xi also quickened her pace, relying on her large physique to lead the way for everyone.

The team leader was still waving a red flag and yelling, telling the people behind to speed up and not fall behind, otherwise they would miss the bus and have to pay for the bus to the commune themselves.

Paying for something out of your own pocket is very destructive in this era. People who heard about it immediately became anxious and rushed out with their things. Unfortunately, they had a lot of things, and when they got anxious, they either bumped into people or stepped on people. The more anxious they were, the more chaotic it became.

Zhou Pandi quickly found their car, climbed up nimbly, and then waved his hands and shouted, "Hey, Qin Xi, Zhao Xiaofen, I'm here, I found it! Li Jianshe, Cheng Bing, Jin Zhe, Jing Yan, here, here!"

While she was shouting, another group of people actually got on the bus faster than Qin Xi and the others. This was also a small group of seven or eight people.

Zhou Pandi saw them climbing up the car, and immediately stood with one hand on his waist, making a teapot shape, and shouted at them: "This is where my friend and I are, you are not allowed to go over there!"

The leader over there glanced at her, then nodded and asked the people who had already climbed onto the car to take their luggage to the other side.

"Hurry up!" Seeing that Qin Xi and the others had arrived, Zhou Pandi immediately dragged the rattan box that Qin Xi had thrown into the car to occupy the territory.

Qin Xi was a nimble fat man. He threw the luggage up and climbed into the car in no time. Jing Yan, who was about to lend a helping hand, was stunned for a moment, then immediately continued to throw the luggage.

Jin Zhe also saw that the main force was approaching, and immediately climbed up to help Qin Xi and Zhou Panddy pick up the luggage.

Fortunately, they didn't have much stuff, so everyone got on the bus before the main force arrived.

Qin Xi directly took the position in the upper left corner, not afraid at all that the wicker box would be crushed by her and just sat on it.

Zhao Xiaofen and Zhou Pandi sat close to her and also chose a position close to the guardrail. The four boys semi-surrounded them and protected them in the middle.

The people at the back were afraid that they would not be able to get on the bus and be left behind, so they pushed and shoved each other and did not listen to any instructions. The noisy noise made Qin Xi's head buzz.

She took out a bag of fruit candies from her small bag and distributed four or five to each person in the small group.

Take a sip of soda and then hold a piece of candy and you'll instantly feel much better.

It wasn't until the car started that the noise gradually died down.

After leaving the city, the road conditions became worse and worse, and the car began to shake. After a while, those who were carsick began to vomit.

There was a commotion in the car, and the sound of cursing was deafening.

Qin Xi sighed, "This is such a flavorful car!"

Afraid that a chain reaction would occur among the people around her, she quickly took out another small bag of dried sour plums to share. This time, in addition to the small group, the small circle around them also had a share.

Before they started driving, someone informed them that the journey would take nearly three hours. If the road conditions down the road were the same, they would be in trouble!

Zhou Pandi had finished his food yesterday. He thought he would be able to get to the production team soon to eat, but he didn't expect that he would have to go such a long way!

Zhao Xiaofen also didn't have lunch. She had some dry food left. Knowing that it would take a long time, she took out some and shared some with Zhou Pandi.

The two of them were not full in the first place, and they felt uncomfortable hearing the vomiting sounds. Qin Xi's pickled plums really saved their lives.

In just one day, they finally understood that although Qin Xi was dark and strong, she was really a germaphobe. If they couldn't control their vomiting, Qin Xi might throw them out of the car.

The driver in front and the staff sent by Tao County to pick up the educated youth didn't care about the people behind. They made at least eight or ten trips a year to pick up the educated youth, if not dozens of times. The more the educated youth paid attention to them, the more excited they became.

The easiest way is to just ignore them and bring them back to Tao County!

Halfway through the journey, seeing that most of the people around her were almost unable to hold on, Qin Xi silently took out a package and distributed dried apricots.

We finally made it to Tao County, and as soon as the car stopped, the smells became even stronger.

Qin Xi retched, then immediately turned over and climbed down from the railing.

She doesn't want to step on those disgusting things!

"Qin Xi, give us a hand!" Seeing someone taking the lead, Zhao Xiaofen and Zhou Panddi immediately wanted to get off the car from the side.

After the two women went down, Jin Zhe and Jing Yan also followed them down, while Li Jianshe and Cheng Bing stayed upstairs to transfer the luggage.

The first one to come down was Qin Xi's wicker box. As soon as she got the box, she ran away from the car.

Zhao Xiaofen and Zhou Pandyi followed suit like lackeys.

After everyone got off the bus, the team that came to pick people up started waving their hands with loud speakers.

There are two wealthy villages that use tractors to pick up people, while the rest use bullock carts.

In fact, although Qin Xi's village was not rich, the village party secretary had a capable son who brought back a nearly scrapped tractor for the village, which he has been using for many years after repairing it.

Unfortunately, the tractor went on strike again recently, so they could only wait for the commune's tractor to come and pull it, and then use the village's ox cart to go back.

The two tractors not only picked up people from their own village, but also picked up educated youth from the same commune who were passing by.

In a rush, most of the educated youth left.

The rest were basically people who were assigned to places farther away. Some communes didn’t even have a guesthouse, so the local educated youth office simply arranged for them to stay in the guesthouse in the county.

The Youth League Office issued a meal ticket to each of the educated youth who stayed behind. This meal ticket was equivalent to a two-liang grain coupon. They could just use it to pay for their meals when they went to eat.

There is also a cafeteria in the guesthouse. The food is average but cheap.

Qin Xi put her luggage away, took a look around the cafeteria and left. She really didn’t have an appetite!

And when she looked at the portion, she knew it definitely wouldn’t fill her up!

Seeing Jing Yan and the other two on the road, she invited them: "The food in the cafeteria doesn't look very good. I plan to go to the state-owned restaurant to have a look. Do you want to join us?"

"Let's go." Jing Yan was the first one to agree. He had no expectations for the cafeteria in the first place, but Jin Zhe was too lazy to leave and insisted on coming to take a look.

"Where are Zhao Xiaofen and Zhou Pandi?" Li Jianshe and Cheng Bing were a little hesitant. It was obvious that these three were not short of money. Although they were not financially tight, they still had to keep some money for themselves, right?

"Their families didn't give them much money, so they were reluctant to go out to eat. I want to eat meat, otherwise it will be difficult to eat meat after I go to the production team tomorrow." Qin Xi touched her empty stomach. She was really hungry!

Li Jianshe and Cheng Bing were also craving for meat, and drooled as they said, "We don't have the local meat coupons!"

Qin Xi patted her bag, "I'll pay for the tickets, you pay!"

The men looked at each other and thought, what are you waiting for!

It was almost six o'clock when we arrived at the state-owned restaurant, and the only meat dishes left were braised spareribs and braised fish.

Hearing that only the last portion of braised fish was left, Qin Xiaoyun immediately squeezed over and said, "I want one portion of braised fish, one portion of braised spareribs, one portion of spring onion tofu, and one portion of stir-fried vegetables!"

When it comes to vegetarian dishes, we just copy whatever is available in the kitchen, there is no room for pickiness.

The waiter who collected the money glanced at Qin Xi and said expressionlessly, "Braised spareribs are two yuan, no ticket required, braised fish is one yuan, half a catty of meat ticket, spring onion and tofu is three cents, stir-fried vegetables is two cents, do you want anything else?"

"I want a bowl of vegetarian noodles! What do you want?" Qin Xi asked several boys while rummaging through her purse.

There was no rice available today, so the men just ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles.

The total cost was four dollars and fifty cents, which was exactly ninety cents per person.

Vegetarian noodles were also 20 cents per serving. Qin Xi had not thought that meat dishes would be so expensive. It was she who suggested ordering the dishes, so she asked a few people for their opinions and did not bother about the half pound of meat ticket.

Several boys also gave her the meal money on the spot.
