Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

6 Ask for leave and return to the city

Secretary Zhang sighed when he heard this. This time, Xiangqing's family had hurt Ji Zhiqing. He had committed murder and robbery, and burglary. These were serious crimes, so he had to go to jail and work on the sewing machine.

"It's a done deal. Don't worry, Old Xiang. Xiang Qiang just had bad luck. Let's go back and write a certificate and hand it in."

Since Secretary Zhang said so, Captain Xiang didn't know what to say. He just said a few perfunctory words and sat there without saying anything.

There was a brief silence on the oxcart, and Ji Qinglan spoke to Captain Xiang again: "Captain Xiang, Ah Qian has passed away. I would like to ask for leave to go back and take care of Ah Qian's funeral."

When Captain Xiang heard this, his brows jumped and he kindly consoled her: "During the days when you were sick, the village received a letter saying that the Liang family had already arranged for Liang Zhiqing's funeral, so it was useless for you to go back. Besides, it's snowing and cold now, and it's not easy for a female colleague like you to go out with a child."

"But Xincheng is Aqian's only child. It makes no sense for a son not to pay his respects at his father's grave." Ji Qinglan hugged her son and cried again.

She had to ask Xin Cheng to pray more, burn more incense, and burn more paper money for Liang Qian, praying that Liang Qian would cross the Naihe Bridge as soon as possible and give birth to a new child as soon as possible.

Captain Xiang looked at the child in her arms, his eyes flashed. Since Ji Qinglan wanted to go back, why should he stop her?

So he said, "I am worried about you going back to the village alone, so I will let the eldest brother go back with you."

Who can say for sure what kind of accidents might happen on the road?

Ji Qinglan groaned and hugged Xin Cheng tightly with both hands.

"Thank you very much, Captain Xiang. It would be bad if I were to go with Brother Xiang and people would misunderstand me. It would be better if Sister Lanlan could accompany me."

"Lanlan is still at her second aunt's house and hasn't come back yet, so she can't go." Captain Xiang flatly refused.

"Let Xiang Guo go first. He has experience."

"It will delay Brother Xiang's work, so I'd better go back by myself!" Ji Qinglan hesitated again.

"I asked him to take a few days off, but Xiang Qiang is useless. Otherwise, I would have asked him to escort you back. Ji Zhiqing, don't refuse. How can we let you go back alone without someone to accompany you? Other people in the village don't have experience with Xiang Guo."

Captain Xiang did not give in and insisted on having Xiang Guo accompany him.

Ji Qinglan lowered his head and could only thank him.

"Thank you very much. I will go to the city to buy a ticket tomorrow."

Ji Qinglan and Liang Qian are both from Beijing. There is no train station in the county town. If they want to go back, they can only take a bus from the county to the city and then take a train for three days. They also have to buy the tickets in advance and get a certificate from the team.

You have to set off for the provincial capital one day in advance, and you may even have to stay in the provincial capital for one night.

It is also very troublesome to make a trip. She has been in the countryside for five years and has never returned once.

She suggested going to the provincial capital to buy tickets, but the captain refused again.

"No need to go through so much trouble. I'll go back and call Xiang Guo and ask him to ask someone to buy it for me. He has a lot of acquaintances."

See! This is the benefit of having a capable son. Even Secretary Zhang can't envy it.

"Thank you, Captain, and thank you, Brother Xiang. I will give him the ticket money when the time comes."

He responded to the captain and stopped talking.

In Secretary Zhang's opinion, it was normal for Ji Qinglan to take his son back to attend the funeral, so he didn't hear anything wrong.

Han Yuanjun opened his mouth but said nothing and remained silent.

Ji Qinglan turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery, casting his gaze towards the fields on both sides of the road. The hatred in his heart was taking root and sprouting like new buds breaking through the soil in the mud.

Captain Xiang and his three sons, the eldest Xiang Guo, the second Xiang Qiang, and the fourth Xiang Jun, none of them are good people.

They were all the executioners who killed her and Xin Cheng.

Xiang Guo worked as a driver in the county transport team, married a post office clerk, settled down in the county, and rarely returned to the village, but he always had a good reputation in the village.

Warm, generous and helpful.

Xiang Qiang was a farmer in the village. He was not doing his job and relied on his father to earn work points. Two years ago, he married a girl from the next village, but she died of illness three months ago.

Xiang Jun graduated from junior high school and wandered around the town doing nothing. He had such a bad reputation that even dogs avoided him.

When the ox cart returned to the village, it was surrounded by villagers who were waiting for the fun and asked about Xiangqing's sister-in-law.

Find out if Sister Xiangqing was the one who stole food from the team last time, or if her husband was also an accomplice.

Ji Qinglan was crying and only gave a few answers. Everyone was confused and the discussion became more and more heated.

Half-truths are more addictive.

Secretary Zhang drove everyone away, comforted her a few words, and went to the office with Captain Xiang to discuss how to deal with the matter.

After everyone got up, Han Yuanjun and Ji Qinglan walked on the road.

"Thank you so much today, and I'm sorry for getting you into trouble." Ji Qinglan took a risk by asking Han Yuanjun to help her.

She also thought that if Han Yuanjun didn't help her, she would also make a fuss, but the effect would not be so obvious, and she would be suppressed by Captain Xiang and Secretary Zhang. Sister Xiangqing would at most compensate her with some food and work points.

"I have a ready-made reason, so I'm not afraid." Han Yuanjun glanced at Ji Qinglan.

Ji Zhiqing was a simple-minded man. He used to blindly believe in Liang Qian. In his eyes, Liang Qian was a hypocrite who was two-timing. He had seen Liang Qian and Xiang Lanlan together many times.

"Captain Xiang has bad intentions, you have to be careful." Han Yuanjun still reminded her in a low voice.

Ji Qinglan nodded and thanked him.

When she went out in the morning, the fire in the stove had gone out long ago. The kang was now freezing cold. She had no choice but to go to the kitchen to cook lunch while lighting the stove. She looked at the blazing fire and began to recall what happened today.

In her previous life, she was ignorant of the world and was deceived by Liang Qian. In the eyes of the villagers, she was a fool.

What she thought was love, in the eyes of the villagers, was just a silly girl who spent money on men.

What's the big deal? She wants to use the image of her previous life to take revenge bit by bit.

Xiang Qiang was pleasantly surprised that they had successfully sent the person in, but she thought that Captain Xiang should have called his son who was far away in the county town by now, as Xiang Jun was the backbone of the Xiang family.

Xiang Jun wants to take her back to Beijing, so she can't go home.

Ji Qinglan added firewood to the stove, put Er Fang in a backpack on the side, and started cooking and frying vegetables.

The rice was white rice, and the dish was stir-fried pork belly with vegetables. It was a delicious meal.

Xin Cheng had just eaten less than two hours ago, so he wasn’t hungry yet.

There was still half a bowl of food left, so she put it in the kitchen cabinet. After cleaning up the kitchen, she carried her son back to the house.

The kang was already heated and the bed was warm.

Putting her son on the bed to play by himself, Ji Qinglan silently recited 515 in her heart. A transparent light board appeared in front of her, and the cheerful voice of 515 sounded in her mind: "Congratulations to the host for receiving today's subsidy, ten cans of milk powder, and a black cat to guard the house."

Milk powder? Cat?

Ji Qinglan was delighted and looked at the backpack compartment. As expected, she saw the milk powder, but she didn't see the cat. There were only four compartments in the backpack with things: rice, pork belly, remaining medicine and today's milk powder.
