My villa can pass through

The provincial capital is larger than Xiangcheng, with more buildings and higher floors.

Much more prosperous.

Enduring the taste all the way, Xu Yuanyuan chatted with the aunt who sold the ticket, and the aunt was retiring in one year.

The aunt was wearing a washed and yellowed white shirt, blue khaki pants, a pair of sandals, short hair cut to the ears, and her face was tanned.

Running with the car every day is also pretty cool.

In the provincial capital, the original owner is very familiar, less than five years after the divorce.The original caller went to work in the provincial capital, and stayed in the provincial capital until he died of old age.

It's just that Xu Yuanyuan didn't know much about the previous provincial capital.

The market in the provincial capital is huge, so Xu Yuanyuan wants to get more votes and earn more money.

The other two surrounding cities also have to vote a few times before they can leave.

I found a guest house, Xu Yuanyuan handed in the proof of going out, and opened a room, "Sister Huang, what places can we go shopping here?"

After opening the room for a while, Xu Yuanyuan has become an acquaintance with Sister Huang at the front desk, and asked her to inquire about some nearby places.

Sister Huang is about 30 years old, with long hair that is neither long nor short, and it is scattered behind, and it is still wet.It seems that I washed my hair after going to work.

Sister Huang must have been a beautiful woman when she was young, with big eyes, a tall nose, a delicate round face, and lips that were neither thick nor thin.

There are still two dimples when I smile, but the skin is too rough, a little yellow, no makeup on the face, no makeup, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and the yellow spots under the corners of the eyes can be seen at a glance, which is the chloasma left by pregnancy.

It is very dark in color and has the shape of a small butterfly.

Time urges people to grow old, and the delicate face is a thing of the past.

Sister Huang also liked the little girl talking and laughing in front of her. She pointed to the door and said, "When you go out, turn right and walk a mile or two to the largest supply and marketing cooperative department store in the city. Turn left and within four miles is the Friendship Shopping Center.

As long as you have a foreign exchange certificate, you can buy everything in it, including rice, flour, grain, oil, foreign snacks, fabrics, shoes, etc. "

"Oh, yes. Thank you, Sister Huang." After taking a few steps with the key, she turned around and asked, "Sister Huang, where do we sell shrimp paste and some dried shrimp and hairtail?"

Although this is a northern city, there are other cities in the province that are close to the sea. There are many seafood here, and different kinds of seafood are available in four seasons.

Xu Yuanyuan wants to buy more. There are seafood in the space, but they are all bought outside.The seafood in this era is pure wild.

The quality is awesome.

Buy more, take them away, and add some seafood to the space.

There are many prawns in September and October, which is also the best season to eat prawns.

At the end of August, many prawns were also on the market.

After thinking about it, I decided to go to the city with the sea next stop.

When Sister Huang heard it, she immediately got excited, leaned over, and said in a low voice, "How much do you want to buy?"

"How much do you buy? Can you buy a few more cans?" Xu Yuanyuan glanced at the enthusiastic Sister Huang before suddenly realizing.

It seems that there are quite a lot of this shrimp paste and seafood in this big sister Huang's family.

"A little more, how much?"

"how much do you have?"

Xu Yuanyuan looked around, fearing that people might hear her, so her voice was extremely low.

"There are more than a dozen cans of shrimp paste, 150 catties of dried shrimp, and [-] catties of dried hairtail."

"Sister Huang, you have someone bring it to my room at night, and I want everything."

"All?" Sister Huang asked excitedly.

"Well, but the price can't be too high, let's talk about the price first."

Xu Yuanyuan thought that after receiving the seafood at night, she went out of the room several times overnight, pretending to ship it out, and checked out tomorrow morning, so she couldn't live here.

This big sister Huang is quite courageous, she dared to say this when she first met herself.

"it is good."

The two come and go, the price is not too high, at least not as high as the black market.

In the evening, as soon as it got dark, Sister Huang led someone to quietly transport the things to Xu Yuanyuan's room.

Early the next morning, Xu Yuanyuan checked out and left the guest house before Sister Huang came to change shifts.

I found a new guest house near the Friendship Mall to live in.

The next day I went shopping at the Friendship Mall, bought a hot water bottle, bought soap, soap, shampoo, and face cream.

I also bought some, I bought a few pairs of pull-back sneakers, and three pairs of thick labor insurance cotton shoes with thick fluff inside, which are very warm in winter.

This is for going to the countryside.

The rural areas in the Northeast are very cold in winter, so be prepared for frost protection.

There are four or five months in Maodong a year.

The countryside over there is not far from the Construction Corps, although it is not as good as the educated youths in the Construction Corps, who get paid every month.But not as hard as the Construction Corps.

The original owner in the previous life knew many educated youths in the Corps, and she had male and female classmates who worked as educated youths in that Corps.Because of the close distance, the classmates often come and go, and she also knows many people there.

When it came to Dahuicheng, it was even more difficult for the Corps to return to the city than in the village.

The village where she went to the countryside is very cold in winter, but now it is the production brigade of Hongqi.Tunzi is no longer an official name.

Only the brigade members talk in private.

It's too cold there.

In the next few days, she became a wholesale leader in the black market, and several hidden places in the suburbs were her battlefields.I earned a lot of money and got a lot of coupons.

On September [-]rd, before dawn, Xu Yuanyuan, who returned to Xiangcheng, packed her luggage and quietly left Mi's house.

Just before leaving, I went into my brother's room and put a letter and a box beside his pillow.

There are a pair of watches in the box, which are a pair of mechanical watches produced in China.

It was Xu Yuanyuan who bought it at the Friendship Mall in the provincial capital, and there was a receipt as proof. Xu Yuanyuan even put the receipt proof in the box when she bought it.

Just left, at four o'clock in the morning, Xu Yuanyuan left Mi's house with four snakeskin bags, and it will be difficult to come back in the future.

She has no regrets.

Didn't even look back.

When he quietly left, it was still dark outside.

Four snakeskin bags, two at each end, were dead heavy. By the time we arrived at the train station, it was already past five o'clock.

At 05:30, many parents had already stood on the platform to accompany the children going to the countryside.

Xu Yuanyuan was standing behind a big pillar, with four snakeskin bags on the ground, which seemed to many people to be fleeing famine.

Several people saw Xu Yuanyuan and came over, "Mi Yuanyuan, you are the only one, where are your parents?"

The person who came was the original owner's classmate Zheng Haiyan, and beside him were classmates Jin Qiang, Li Ping, Chu Zhengya, and Pan Qing.

Five people came, from the direction they came, and their parents stood where they were.

"I don't have a real mother, only a stepmother and a stepfather. My brother didn't know that I was leaving today, so he thought I was leaving the day after tomorrow." Xu Yuanyuan's voice was lukewarm.

"Ah, sorry?" Zheng Haiyan hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Xu Yuanyuan waved her hand to express her indifference.

In the black market in the provincial capital, Xu Yuanyuan also replaced it with a military water bottle that was likely to be new.

It was sold by an old man with a family of martyrs.

The family was short of food and money, Xu Yuanyuan bought it after seeing it, it was so practical.

At this time, carrying it on her body, it also shone with a unique "light" in the dark night. At least a few male students were staring at the water bottle on Xu Yuanyuan's back.

"Besides, besides..." A train came in the distance, and it was a train passing by.

The people on the platform were running along with the unsteady train.Xu Yuanyuan carried her four big snakeskin bags and walked slowly, looking at the numbers on the train carriage, and walked slowly.

She was not in a hurry, she booked a sleeper berth, and with her status, she definitely couldn't get a sleeper berth, but she found a relationship and booked the lower berth.

Before anyone got on the train, Jin Qiang and Chu Zhengya, who had already settled down on the train, trotted down, "Mi Yuanyuan, are you in the same carriage as us?"

Two enthusiastic male students reached out for help, the train had stopped, and Zheng Haiyan and the others were lying by the window, waving at Xu Yuanyuan.

"I'm in the No. [-] sleeper car. You guys can come and find me if you have time. Are we going to the same place?"

Xu Yuanyuan knew that they were a production team.

"Wow, you bought a sleeper ticket?" Jin Qiang looked at Xu Yuanyuan enviously.

"Well, my brother saw that I was not in good health recently, so he asked someone to buy it for me. He told me to have a good rest, so that I would have the energy to do things in the countryside." He specifically emphasized that his brother didn't buy it himself.

Chu Zhengya also understood, "Your brother treats you very well."

"Well, my brother has been working for several years, and besides, he is my own brother. My brother and I are a family at home, and my brother treats me very well." No lie, Mi Jianguo treated his only sister really well. good.

"That's true. After all, they are brothers and sisters. If you are not good to you, you are good to whom." The two didn't think much about it.

"Well, how many people from the countryside are there in our class?"

"There are quite a few, and a group of people went to the Corps. It is said that it is not far from the village we went to." Jin Qiang has a wide range of friends and has a good relationship with his classmates.

He inquired a lot of news, and he also knew who went where in the class, or stayed and did not go to the countryside.

"If it's close, we can come and go frequently in the future."

"Yes, yes, Mi Yuanyuan, you have changed a lot. You used to be very lively, but later you became a little quiet, and now you are more lively." Chu Zhengya happily talked about Xu Yuanyuan's changes.

"Well, if you think about it, you can live a good life. You can live a day if you are happy, and you can also live a day if you are unhappy. It is better to live a day happily."

Xu Yuanyuan smiled faintly.

The two stopped talking, and from Xu Yuanyuan's words, she could feel that her home made her unhappy.

Maybe that's why she had become withdrawn from the rest of the class before.

When it came to other people, the two male students didn't say anything.

The three arrived in the sleeper car, Jin Qiang and Chu Zhengya helped put the luggage under the bed.

After Xu Yuanyuan settled down, she went to the hard-seat car with an army green messenger bag and a water bottle on her back.

Behind the No. [-] car is the dining car, and then there are hard seats. Several people walked over.Along the way, I saw a lot of quasi-educated youths talking loudly.

One by one, they were impassioned and expressed their ideals.

The three of them passed through several carriages and arrived at the carriage where Jin Qiang and the others were sitting. This carriage was from Xiangcheng to the terminal.

There are really many classmates I know, and there is also an alumni of the school who was born in the first year.

Xu Yuanyuan said hello to those she knew, and Zheng Haiyan's parents had already got off the car and left.

Xu Yuanyuan and Zheng Haiyan were sitting together, and there was a male student in the same class, Zhuo Yong, who went to the Corps, which was different from Xu Yuanyuan and the others.

The three female students sat in a row, and Xu Yuanyuan squeezed in with them, sitting on half of her buttocks.

There are several classmates in the class and schoolmates who also sit in sleeper berths, and their parents are eligible to buy tickets for the sleeper berths.

A group of people chattered and talked about their ideals.

Xiangcheng, Mi's house.

Early in the morning, Mi Jianguo woke up and found the letter next to the pillow and the box under the pillow.

The two boxes are exactly the same, and there are a pair of watches inside. They are couple models, there is nothing fancy, and the boxes prove that the bills are complete.In the letter, he was told not to tell his family that she bought it for his future sister-in-law and him.

Just tell your sister-in-law and it will be all right, don't say a word to the family.She also told him to apply for the dormitory of the unit quickly, so that he would have less contact with the family in the future, and she would send letters to him in the unit.

Mi Jianguo touched the box, and tears fell down. Everyone said that men don't cry easily, but only he knows.At home, too, he had many unspeakable sufferings.

The biological father is similar to the stepdad, and he said that his job was all done with the help of his uncle.My father didn't ask any more questions from the beginning to the end. At that time, after graduating from high school, he hadn't found a job yet, and his stepmother blamed and scolded Huai at home, saying that there was an extra idler in the family.

During those days, he really had enough. In fact, he was willing to live in this house all the time because of his sister, who was still at home.If he left, he wouldn't feel at ease when his sister was at home. He was always worried that the woman would bully her.

Now that the girl is gone, he doesn't have to live in this house anymore.Anyway, my father has already become a stepdad.

When he left the room in the morning, he purposely carried his previous messenger bag, so that it was close to the partner's factory.

Give her the watch at lunchtime.I have to talk about applying for a single dormitory.

If both apply, the chances are better.

Except for Mi Jianguo, the rest of the Mi family didn't ask about the missing member of the family.

For such a cold father, Mi Jianguo completely gave up.

At noon, the people on the train continued to talk about the mountains as if they had drunk Erguotou.

But Mi Jianguo from the steel factory went straight to the pharmaceutical factory a mile away to find Wang Ping after work.

"Hey, Comrade Xiaomi is here?" The old man in the guard room greeted Mi Jianguo with a smile when he saw Mi Jianguo who had been running hard lately.

"Well, sir, I'm looking for Wang Ping. Please let me know."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll notify you." The old man smiled and picked up the phone and made an internal call.

Amid Mi Jianguo's anxiety, Wang Ping ran out all the way.

"Jianguo, Jianguo, why are you here? What's the matter?" Wang Ping didn't remember that the two had an appointment today, but only remembered that there was an appointment tomorrow, and she would take her future sister-in-law out for a meal.

"Xiaoping, come out, let's go to the state-run restaurant for dinner, I have something to discuss with you."

Mi Jianguo was still touching the messenger bag beside him with one hand.

"Well, okay." Wang Ping was a little dazed, but she didn't object, and walked out side by side with Mi Jianguo.

There are many factories in this area, and there is a pretty big state-run hotel.

On the way, Mi Jianguo said in a low voice, "Xiaoping, Yuanyuan went to the countryside this morning. She lied to me, saying she was leaving the day after tomorrow, but it was actually the car today. Do you think I am incompetent as an older brother?" ?”

Mi Jianguo is a typical straight man. He treats his girls well and loves his lover well through his actions, not his mouth. He has no rhetoric, nor can he pour honey.

At this time, I feel a little lost. Since when, the little girl has grown up and doesn't need herself anymore.

I still don't care enough about my little sister.

Wang Ping and Mi Jianguo fell in love freely. They met in the friendship between the two factories, and then they saw each other.

Wang Ping is straightforward, but also smart, not a brainless cannonball.

"Jianguo, my little sister wanted to leave quietly because she didn't want to part with you. When she arrives at her destination, she will definitely send you a letter to report her safety as soon as possible."

"Well, yes. But my little sister left me a letter for you to see. There is also a gift for you."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bag and handed it to Wang Ping.

When they were reading the letter, the two had already walked into the state-run restaurant. Mi Jianguo ordered something delicious, and sat watching Wang Ping read the letter.

"Hey, my little sister is really serious. Why do you still buy a watch? The 100 yuan you gave her isn't enough?"

The folded letter was still put in the envelope, Wang Ping was very happy, at least my sister-in-law respected her.

"Yeah, I don't know where she got the money from, so it's not easy for me to write to ask about it?"

Mi Jianguo was worried and didn't dare to ask. He was afraid that the younger sister would be a sidewalk. No, it wasn't because he was afraid, but because he was sure.

He couldn't think of anything but the side door.

Of course, I don't think too much about whether my mother left something for my little sister. At that time, my little sister was only one year old, and even if my mother left something, she wouldn't give it to my little sister. "Step dad" is even more impossible, he is not the father of their siblings now.

A family lives under the same roof, and there are two real families.He and his younger sister are a family, and the "stepfather" and stepmother are a family of five.

Wang Ping stopped immediately, "Don't ask, it's rare to be confused." While speaking, Wang Ping had already opened the box pushed by his partner Mi Jianguo, and when he opened it, there was a shining watch inside, which was extremely beautiful.

She also has a watch.

Looking at the style, it should be the latest style, which is strangely beautiful.

Can't wait to try it on my hands.

Lambskin strap, and two identical straps in the box.This is thinking of everything in the future, my sister-in-law is really considerate.

"Xiaoping, I want to move out, so hurry up and apply for a single dormitory."

While eating, the two discussed about applying for a dormitory.

"Well, I heard from my cousin that our pharmaceutical factory is going to build a new dormitory building. It is said that they are all halls, and the smallest is more than [-] square meters. Employees can apply for purchase according to their seniority.

Do you think we should apply? "

What Wang Ping got was gossip, which was not accurate.

If Xu Yuanyuan was here, she would definitely say that the news was accurate.

In the memory of the original owner, the newly transferred director of the pharmaceutical factory was extremely forward-thinking.

The pharmaceutical factory has to build two different types of housing for family members, one is the unit housing that does not cost employees, and is allocated according to the age of meritorious workers.

One is to ask the construction unit to issue the house type plan first, and then the regular employees in the factory will subscribe for it themselves. This is to pay half of the money first.

When the house is half built, pay the remaining half of the money.At that time, after the house is built, it is time to move in, because there are simple decorations, and water and electricity are connected to the household.The floor is a smooth concrete floor, and the wall is a large white wall that has been scraped.

The first type of housing does not have a housing certificate, but the second type of housing is directly issued with a housing property certificate.It can be resold, as long as it is not sold to people with questionable status, no one cares.

They didn't buy Mi Jianguo in their previous life, and they didn't catch up with this wave. They lived in the public dormitory of the steel factory.

Xu Yuanyuan raised her mouth in the letter, saying that even if someone sells the house, as long as they can borrow money, they will let their brother buy it. The house is more important than anything else.

She didn't say anything about the pharmaceutical factory building a dormitory building, and she didn't leave money for the two of them.

If you do too much, you will leave gaps, and if you say too much, you will make mistakes.If Mi Jianguo and his wife are vigilant, they will know what to do, borrow money, plus the future sister-in-law has saved some money, and Mi Jianguo has also saved some, add up and pay half of it first, and when it is half covered, the two in hand People can save more than 100, and borrow some more, and it will be successful.

It only takes two or three years to eat bran swallowing vegetables.

Husband and wife can afford a house with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.

In the future, I will have a nest that really belongs to me.

The demolition of that place began in [-].

You can make some money then.

What a wonderful thing.

Mi Jianguo took the girl's advice to heart, and he didn't let go of the gossip, "Then inquire about the conditions for room allocation. As long as we can meet them, we will rely on our connections to make a deal."

"En." Wang Ping nodded.

The prospective couple already have a new vision for the future, and the house must have its own house.

Especially Mi Jianguo, he thought that as long as he had a house, his younger sister would have a place to live when she came back to visit relatives.

That Mi's house is not their brother and sister's house.

Not to mention that my younger sister doesn't want to live, and he doesn't want to live either.

Mijia

At noon, the youngest Mi Lei finally found out that there was one person missing in the family, and said to Mi Jianhua, "Third brother, why hasn't Mi Yuanyuan been seen for a long time?"

Mi Jianhua sat on a small bench and scratched his head to do his homework without raising his head. He said, "Go to her side room and see if there are people and no one there. It's not because she's sick, and she's going to die at our house, right?"

Mi Lei was in a hurry, "That's not okay, we can't have a dead person in our house, I'll go and have a look." She didn't even put on her shoes, so she ran out to have a look.

He ran out and went to the side room to see that the door was locked, but it was not locked.The key hangs in the lock.

"Boom" pushed open the door, the inside was empty, except for the kang, the kang cabinet and a lame small kang table, nothing.

All the belongings belonging to the second sister, Mi Yuanyuan, were gone. The kang cabinets were all open, and it was clear at a glance that the room was empty.

"Brother, Mi Yuanyuan is gone, she didn't die of illness." Mi Lei was so happy, she finally didn't have to see Mi Yuanyuan's sad face all day long.

Shouting happily, the neighbors next door heard Mirei's shrill voice.

Some adults who went home to have lunch and take a nap shook their heads, Lao Mi was really confused.With a step-wife, you can't be too partial to the children behind and treat the children in front as grass.

Sooner or later, the child's heart will be broken. Those two children have had a hard time these years.The woman married to Empress Lao Mi was not kind. She treated Jianguo and Yuanyuan badly when she had no children of her own. After she became pregnant, she was even less kind. Being able to drink rice soup is a great kindness. .

When the children are hungry, they go to their grandparents' house to have a meal. That's how they grow up.

Fortunately, the child's grandparents, uncles and aunts are not bad, otherwise the two children would have starved to death at Mi's house.
