It’s ti to depart.
Jiang Xiaoxiao is about to leave soon.
Fan Xiuying and Jiang Honest reluctantly sent their daughter onto the train.
With four large luggage bags, if Jiang Lei hadn’t called his teammates to help, they wouldn’t have been able to get on the train.
There are many educated youths going to the countryside at the train station.
Everyone is busy at once, people cramd together and brushing against each other.
Jiang Xiaoxiao happened to see He Aiguo; they are in the sa carriage. What a coincidence.
He Aiguo also helped.
Only then could everyone get on the train.
Jiang Xiaoxiao said goodbye to her family. She must say goodbye.
At that ti, people sent their relatives off on the platform.
Jiang Xiaoxiao waved, watching Fan Xiuying, who was crying so much, and Jiang Honest, who was pretending to be strong, and shouted loudly.
"Mom and Dad, don’t worry, I’ll write to you! I’ll co back to see you during the holidays."
The train kept going further away.
Eventually, everything disappeared.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable inside.
She knew she would co back soon, but her heart still felt uneasy.
To her parents, she would make sure they lived a good life in this lifeti.
He Aiguo looked at the emotionally low Jiang Xiaoxiao.
He knew that the first ti leaving ho would definitely feel bad.
He handed her an apple.
"Here, Jiang Xiaoxiao! This apple is delicious."
Apples are rare.
They’re not sothing you can just buy whenever you want.
Today, He Aiguo noticed a few extra apples among his things.
Of course, he knew who bought them; for He Aiguo, who never received a kind face, it might be the first ti he felt warmth.
But his heart seed hard to warm up.
His relationship with his father might just be like this.
Jiang Xiaoxiao rarely showed a smile.
She wasn’t short of apples.
Smiling, she took it, as this apple represented He Aiguo’s sentint.
She took a peach from her backpack.
She handed it to He Aiguo.
"Here! Let’s trade and eat it, Brother He, don’t be shy."
She insisted on putting it in He Aiguo’s hand.
He Aiguo’s face turned red.
His apple was less than palm-sized! And he got a peach almost as big as a hand in exchange.
This was taking advantage.
"This... this... won’t do!"
He was about to say sothing.
Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed, "Brother He, you’re my brother’s good friend! Why be polite? In the future, I might need your help a lot! If we’re always this polite, I wouldn’t dare to seek your help."
Her words left He Aiguo speechless.
He Aiguo chuckled.
This girl really spoke her mind directly.
She seed easygoing, anyway Jiang Lei had repeatedly asked him to look after his sister.
Especially since Jiang Xiaoxiao indeed helped him greatly, although his father was no longer speaking to him, and when he left, his father didn’t say a word.
But he knew that stepmother Ding Guihua had left with his younger siblings.
There were three fewer people in their household registration book.
He didn’t know how his father resolved it, and he hadn’t genuinely cared.
No matter what, he did what he supposed to do.
In his heart, he actually felt a sense of relief.
His father didn’t appear in the morning; his father got drunk last night.
But there were thirty yuan on the table, and He Aiguo felt heartache when he saw this money for the first ti.
It was the first ti, the first ti his father gave him money without him asking, but unfortunately, he didn’t want it.
Facing Jiang Xiaoxiao now, He Aiguo felt much more relaxed, as ho was too oppressive.
He couldn’t be too polite.
There would be many opportunities for gratitude.
Suddenly, the atmosphere between them beca much more harmonious.
An apple, a peach, both crunchingly munching on them.
People sitting nearby couldn’t help but feel envious.
Being able to eat fresh fruit at this ti was extraordinary, indicating good family conditions. Generally, if a family could eat an apple once a year, that would be considered lucky.
Even with money, it was hard to buy.
Moreover, the fresh fruit would be given to others.
How could it be wasted on kids like this?
Most of the carriage was heading to one place.
To be blunt, this train journey had only one destination.
That was Kenqing Farm, known as Beidahuang.
Everyone was educated youth.
They co from all corners of the country.
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew they are actually the unluckiest batch of educated youths; the policy was supposed to change, with educated youths returning to the city, yet here they were heading to the countryside.
But the new policy hadn’t been officially implented yet, so the previous policy was still being executed.
After them, there would be no more educated youth.
Of course, there were still so seats available, as at any major stop along the way, a new batch of educated youth could co onboard, sharing the sa destination but with different starting points.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and He Aiguo chatted for a while, and she conversed intermittently with others as well.
