Chapter 114 Return to Xiaorong Town

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Feng Chen went home and Yan Xin went to his place for dinner.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, Feng Chen took Ruan Mengyao to visit the workers.

I have the contact information of those workers, and I also found a classmate who drives a motorcycle. I hired him as a private driver for 100 yuan a day, and he also paid for his meals. In this way, it was much more convenient to visit those workers.

He and Yan Xin still communicate on QQ, but no longer meet.

Yan Xin stayed at home for another two days, and set off on February 5, the eighth day of the first lunar month.

He is on leave until February 6th, which means he will go to work on the 7th.

At that time, he was working the night shift again, that is to say, on February 6th. He had to rush to Fengxiangcheng Community to go to work at 11pm, otherwise he would be considered absent from work.

His train ticket back was at around 7pm. He arrived at Yangcheng Railway Station at around 5am on February 6th, and then transferred to a long-distance bus to Xiaorong Bus Station. He was able to reach Xiaorong Town before 10am, so he could go back and meet him in time.

Chen Li had a lunch.

If you are more luxurious, you can take a private car directly to Xiaorong Town when you arrive at Yangcheng Railway Station, and you can go directly to your place of stay after 7 o'clock.

It's not much more money, mainly because it's not very safe, because they are all black cars.

If you take a taxi, even now Yan Xin thinks it's a bit expensive.

The train was in the evening, so he was not in a hurry and did not plan to leave in the morning. Instead, he left after having lunch at home.

This way you can also save money on a meal out.

And there's no need to wander around outside in such a cold weather.

——You can't even go into the waiting room to rest before the time. There is no need to go so early.

While they were still cooking, Feng Xi came over, carrying the small bamboo basket and a few kilograms of oranges, and said to Yan Xin:

"If you like oranges, take these with you. You can eat them on the way and save yourself the trouble of buying water."

Yan Xin really likes her oranges, which are full of water and sweet.

He was not polite, thanked him, kept the oranges, and poured them into a plastic bag.

Then he asked her: "Do you want to eat here?"

Feng Xi stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "That won't work. My parents are both at home, and I have to rush home to cook for them."

When she said this, Yan Xin did not keep her.

When he set out, he was wearing the old coat again, and the backpack he was carrying was also a cheap backpack. The clothes in the backpack were all given to him by Ellie, and they were relatively expensive.

In addition to clothes, there were also several kilograms of oranges - these were brought over for Chen Li and Ai Lili to eat.

When I go home, I have to bring some souvenirs.

But his family really didn't have much souvenirs. What they produced were rice and cotton, not even oranges, so there was no way to give them out as gifts.

I also carried an extra plastic bag with a pound or two of oranges and some peanuts - which I ate on the way.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, I was waiting for the bus at the small shop, and Yan's father also sent me there.

While waiting for the bus, the father and son warned each other.

Yan's father asked him to pay attention to safety on the road and not to get angry with others after he went out. Safety was the top priority in everything.

Yan Xin told his father not to work so hard, just finish the work in his own fields, rest well in his free time, and not to do odd jobs for others to make money.

Then the food needs to be better.

In fact, those are the words that have been said over and over again, but when it comes to this time, I can't help but say them.

After only a few minutes of talking, the minibus to the county town came over. As soon as the door opened, Yan Xin was the first to get on the bus.

Fortunately, there are seats, but there are only two or three seats left.

There were six or seven people waiting for the bus at this canteen.

Those who came first got a seat, and those who came behind had to stand.

By the time this minibus arrived in the town, there was no room for more people.

Someone waved for a car on the road, but the car didn't stop.

Because there were too many people, the barrier couldn't fit in.

It's like this every year during the Spring Festival travel period.

The fare is twice as expensive as usual, but there are still so many people taking the bus.

When we arrived at the county seat, we took another train to the city.

There are buses that go from the county town to the city. There are quite a lot of vehicles coming and going, and it is relatively not that crowded. Everyone has a seat.

The bus arrived at the bus station in the city, and it was already past four in the afternoon. Then I spent another yuan to take a bus from the bus station to the train station, and arrived at the train station.

When we got off the bus, it was already around five o'clock.

Then Yan Xin found a restaurant owned by a fellow villager near the train station and spent more than 20 yuan on a full meal.

When we came out after dinner, it was six o'clock in the evening.

At this time, you can enter the waiting room to check in your tickets.

At 7:05 pm, I finally got on the train and found my seat.

This time he bought a sleeper ticket, and it was a lower berth. Finally, he didn't have to sit in the train all night like last time when he couldn't even straighten his legs.

After getting to the car, I lay down on the berth and turned on my phone. I received several QQ messages, all asking if he had gotten on the car.

Then reply to them one by one.

Another ten or twenty minutes passed before the train started.

The mobile phone signal on the train was intermittent, and soon there was no signal. Yan Xin simply put down the phone again and closed his eyes to rest.

Slowly, I fell asleep.

The train stopped at several stations along the way, and people came up from time to time, waking Yan Xin up.

My sleep was not that peaceful either.

But in any case, it is much more comfortable than sitting on a hard seat.

At five o'clock in the morning the next day, while the train was still running, Yan Xin was woken up and told that the station was about to arrive and he had packed his things and was getting ready to get off.

Some people were already cleaning up, but Yan Xin did not move and continued to lie there.

It was another half hour before the train actually arrived at the station, and he stood up. He had nothing to pack, just a backpack.

——The food in the plastic bag that was left on the road has been eaten, and his backpack is the only luggage left.

After leaving the train station, we went to the bus station. There is a direct bus to Xiaorong Town, but you have to wait for a while before it leaves.

I bought the ticket after six o'clock, but the train didn't leave until after seven o'clock.

At this time, Yan Xin bought a bucket of instant noodles in the waiting room of the bus station and ate it there.

The bus arrived at Xiaorong Town Bus Station and when we got off the bus, it was already past eight o'clock. Yan Xin first called the canteen in his hometown and asked the canteen owner to tell his father that he had arrived safely.

Then he didn't bother to wait for the bus, so he directly called a taxi and told him where he lived and he could take a taxi.

In the taxi, I sent a message to both Ai Lili and Chen Li: "I'm back in Xiaorong Town."

It was only 8:50 when the taxi took him to his place of residence.

Yan Xin took out the key and opened the door to the room before taking one step forward.

Yan Xin couldn't help but froze there, thinking: "What is this guy doing?"
