Xu Ningyan entered the house, bolted the door, grabbed the food, and heard the commotion outside.

Zhao Guilan came over to urge the food to be served. When she saw that there was less rice and eggs, she became furious.

It attracted many family members to run to the kitchen and yard.

The brothers of the Xu family wanted to kick down the door to deal with Xu Ningyan, but Xu Zhenzhu stopped them.

However, Erya and Sanya were beaten and scolded, ordered not to eat, and Xu Zhuzhu was given a plate of scrambled eggs, which finally put an end to the farce.

After Xu Ningyan ate and drank enough, she felt sleepy, leaned on the bed and fell asleep.

The biological clock of the original owner's body made Xu Ningyan wake up when the rooster crowed for the first time.

It was still dark outside, and the Xu family was still asleep.

Xu Ningyan washed himself casually with the water in the water tank.

The cold water in the early morning splashed on my face, and my whole body was so excited that I suddenly felt sober.

After washing up, tidying up, and putting away all the money and bills, Xu Ningyan left Xu's house through the back door without expecting to have breakfast at Xu's house.

The early morning unity brigade was shrouded in a thin layer of fog, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, which made people feel comfortable.

Xu Ningyan took a few deep breaths and walked to the brigade headquarters.

When we arrived, the bullock cart was ready. The driver was Old Yangtou from the end of the village. When he saw Xu Ningyan, he hurriedly waved.

Xu Ningyan stepped forward quickly, called Uncle Yang, and climbed onto the bullock cart.

As soon as Lao Yang raised his whip, the oxcart started to move slowly with a creaking sound.

Along the way, Lao Yangtou was not a talkative person and just drove the car.

Xu Ningyan was busy memorizing the route. The original owner was sent back to the Xu family when he was three years old. For more than ten years, he has only been to the commune two or three times. In recent years, he has not been allowed to leave the unity brigade.

The Unity Brigade is one of the best brigade under Xiangyang Commune. It is not far from the commune, only about ten miles away.

Moreover, the journey was fairly smooth, and we had already arrived at the commune when the sun was just rising.

After getting off the car, Xu Ningyan thanked Old Yangtou and walked to the commune station.

I have heard Xu Zhenzhu tell me countless times about how to take the bus to the county, and I have remembered it all in my heart.

The bus from Xiangyang Commune to the county only runs once a day, departing from the Commune Station at eight in the morning.

The ticket price at the station is [-] cents. If you wait on the roadside of the commune, you can get a [-] cent discount, but you may not have a seat.

It was still early at this time, and Xu Ningyan was empty. She checked the direction and decided to go to the commune state-owned hotel to have breakfast first. Otherwise, she would not be able to reach the county town until noon, and her body might not be able to bear it.

Moreover, it was mentioned in the literature in those days that the food in state-owned restaurants was cheap and good quality. Apart from poor service attitude and not being able to order everything you wanted to eat, there was nothing wrong with it!

Since she's already here, why should she check in?

Xiangyang Commune is not big, with only two streets intersecting.

Post offices, schools, people's communes, revolutionary committees, supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned hotels, health centers, etc. are all located on these two streets.

The state-owned hotel is at this intersection and can be seen from a distance.

When Xu Ningyan walked into the state-owned hotel, he looked up and saw a line of words: Do not beat or scold customers at will!

Look at the waiter again, he has a arrogant attitude, and he looks like he loves to eat but doesn't want to eat.

Swallowing his saliva, he stepped forward.

The waiter in the state-owned hotel is only responsible for issuing tickets. There is a small board next to it with the meals served today written on it.

In the morning, steamed buns, steamed buns, porridge and noodles are served.

When the waiter saw Xu Ningyan, he rolled his eyes impatiently: "What do you want to eat?"

Xu Ningyan looked at the table next to her. The buns were as big as an adult's fist. They were steaming hot and fragrant when smelling them.

I asked for two steamed buns and a bowl of noodles.

The waiter lowered his head and wrote the ticket: "Two taels of food stamps, forty cents."

Xu Ningyan gave the money and tickets, queued for a while, and just had noodles and steamed buns.

The buns are white buns. When you bite into them, they are stuffed with cabbage and pork. The ingredients are solid and your mouth is full of oil.

Although the noodles are plain noodles, you can use pork bone soup, which is light and delicious. It is also sprinkled with a handful of green cabbage. Pick it up with a pair of chopsticks and it will be chewy and smooth.

Xu Ningyan almost burst into tears, this is food for people to eat!

After eating a bowl of noodles and two buns, Xu Ningyan felt comfortable and energetic, and even the palms of her hands had a little blood.

Xu Ningyan did not dare to stay in the hotel for fear of delaying the train. Before leaving, he hesitated, bought two more buns and two steamed buns, wrapped them in brown paper and rushed to the station.

The weather is getting hot now, so if you can't find a place to eat in the county, it can be a good way to warm your stomach.

Fortunately, when Xu Ningyan arrived at the station, the train had not yet departed. Apart from the driver and conductor, there were only two or three people on the bus.

The bus looked shabby and old, but it was already quite impressive at this time.

Xu Ningyan bought the ticket and asked the conductor to see if it was still early.

After walking around the station, I picked a few sprigs of mint from the weeds nearby and put them in my pocket. Then I returned to the bus and chose a seat in the middle by the window to sit down.

After not sitting for long, the driver started the bus and was about to leave.

Before I even walked out of the station, I saw a familiar tall figure rushing over and stopping the bus.

Gu Zhiyuan?

He also wants to go to the county seat?

Gu Zhiyuan also saw Xu Ningyan and nodded calmly. After getting on the bus and paying for the ticket, he hesitated and sat down next to Xu Ningyan.

Xu Ningyan hurriedly said hello: "Gu Zhiqing is also going to the county seat?"

Gu Zhiyuan nodded and said nothing.

When Xu Ningyan saw that Gu Zhiyuan seemed to have no intention of speaking, he closed his mouth very wisely and shrank back, keeping a little distance from Gu Zhiyuan.

Gu Zhiyuan turned his head and looked over. His eyes stayed on the buns and steamed buns wrapped in brown paper in Xu Ningyan's hand for a while, and then moved away.

Xu Ningyan didn't think much about it at first, but soon she heard Gu Zhiyuan's stomach growling.

He looked up at Gu Zhiyuan. Although his face was still expressionless, the tips of his ears were red.

He suddenly understood, suppressed his laughter, and handed the brown paper bag in his hand to Gu Zhiyuan: "Did Gu Zhiqing not have breakfast? I bought a little more, you can take it and cushion it first."

Gu Zhiyuan didn't show any pretense. He hadn't eaten since last night, and he hadn't caught up with the brigade's oxcart. He jogged all the way to the commune, almost missing the train, and he was indeed hungry.

He took the brown paper and said, "How much is it? I'll give it to you after I get off the car."

Xu Ningyan waved her hand: "Gu Zhiqing saved my life. How can I ask for your money for this little thing? Then who am I? Eat it quickly!"

If we don't take advantage of the lack of people to eat quickly, if there are more people on the bus soon, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat anymore.

Gu Zhiyuan also remembered this incident, so he stopped pushing each other and immersed himself in eating.

Although he was very hungry, Gu Zhiyuan looked not bad when he was eating.

On the contrary, the aroma of cabbage and pork buns spread throughout the carriage, making the remaining passengers in the carriage salivate.

By the time Gu Zhiyuan finished eating, the bus had already left the commune and got onto the highway.

This road was originally a dirt road, and the big hole in the middle of the road was filled with some dirt. The bus was driving on it, shaking like a rickshaw.

We even got to the fork-in-the-road platform not far from the commune. People who didn’t want to go to the station to buy tickets were waiting for the bus. Before the bus even stopped, they crowded around and squeezed up.

The carriage was so crowded that I couldn’t even stand anymore. The conductor was still shouting at the door, “Go inside, there’s still room inside—”

The last person was dragged in by the conductor at the door and asked the people below to help him kick him in.

The door was also manually pulled shut by the conductor.

Xu Ningyan was amazed by this scene.
