Chapter 213 Farewell
After agreeing on a date for delivery to the yard, shopkeeper Qin was sent away, and not long after, Yun Xuemei came back driving an ox cart.
Qiao Yunduo spent a lot of money and specially asked Yun Xuemei to rent a strong and mature ox, and the car was a new oiled car. Such an ox cart can pull more than a thousand kilograms of goods. Transporting some chili noodles is no problem.
"Master, let me help you!"
As the only male in the yard, Lai Gan volunteered to move the jar of chili noodles. Unexpectedly, as soon as he lifted one, he stumbled and almost threw himself forward.
He doesn't look big, about fifty pounds. Although he is a man, he is still a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, but after all, he has not eaten anything good in the first half of his life. He has thin arms and legs, and no muscles on his body.
Lai Gan crossed his arms and reluctantly carried the jar to the car.
Seeing this, Qiao Yun also stretched out her hand to lift a jar.
Laiqian quickly tried to dissuade him: "Master, please be careful and don't strain your tendons. This thing is very heavy."
After Qiao Yun heard this, she felt embarrassed.
She could feel that the jar in her hand was as light as a plastic basin.
After Lai Gan finished speaking with such concern, wouldn’t it be a bit impolite for her to directly lift the jar with one hand?
After thinking about it, she changed her hands to hold the jar up.
In Laigan's dumbfounded eyes, Qiao Yun smiled sheepishly: "I'm born with great strength, so don't imitate me. Just forget it if you can't move it."
Naturally strong?
He has seen strong children, but he has only heard of a twelve-year-old who can carry a fifty-pound jar, but he has never seen it!
Although he has never studied, he still has basic common sense.
What kind of people are strong? Those are the generals on the battlefield, the porters on the Taihang Mountains, the farmers wielding hoes, and the porters on the docks. Their strength has been cultivated over many years.
The boss is so young and can move a jar weighing fifty pounds. How much hardship must he have endured?
His eyes when he looked at Qiao Yun were filled with deep sympathy.
Hiss, it’s really uncomfortable to consume other people’s sympathy.
Qiao Yun hurriedly moved the jar and said, "You know how to drive a car? Go and take it to Ding Shi Ji and sell it. Chili noodles are forty cents per tael, and douban is fifty cents per catty. These two are big heads. Dried chili peppers." Ten coins per catty, this little money is your reward. It’s eighty-five guan in total, and after giving them a 20% discount, it’s 68 guan. You know how much you should charge, do you know?"
Lai Gan made a rough calculation in his mind. These fifty kilograms of dried chili peppers could be sold for five hundred Wen. With a wave of his hand, the boss would have them all. This was so generous!
Although 500 Wen is only a fraction of 68 Guan, I am still very happy to come to Gan.
As a migrant worker, he has a very high consciousness. He deeply believes that as long as he works hard, Qiao Yun can make a lot of money, and if his employer gets the meat, he can follow suit!
After Laigan drove the ox cart away, Guyu smiled and said, "Then let me pack up my things. We are moving in a big way, and we have a lot of things to bring."
Qiao Yun smiled and glanced at her: "You have only been here for a month and a half, what can you pack? There are only a few clothes in total."
"What about the bedding?" This thing is not like those hard ones. No one will sleep on the bedding that a stranger has slept on. Who knows whether it is dirty or not?
Qiao Yun thought for a while and said, "If you want to take it with you, take it with you. If you don't want to take it with you, donate it to the Salesian Church."
Salesian Church?
Guyu was stunned.
She knew that the Salesian Church was a place where abandoned babies were raised in the county, but on weekdays only the wives of those who were not members of the staff would donate something to the Salesian Church during the holidays to show their compassion.
Most people never think about donating things to the Salesian Church!
"My boss is so kind!" Gu Yu clasped his hands together, muttered a few words, and said, "Then I'd better take apart the bedding so that they can wash it easily."
With that said, she went into the house to take off the quilt cover.
Seeing everyone being sent off to do their work, Yun Xuemei walked up to her and asked her: "What are your plans next? Are you going to say goodbye to your maternal grandfather's house?"
Say goodbye?
Qiao Yun blinked in confusion, her heart skipping a beat.
She actually forgot about her grandfather’s house!
Alas...but...
She also found it a little difficult to face those relatives whose enthusiasm was difficult to control.
She has not met her eldest uncle and her grandmother yet, nor has she met her cousins from her eldest uncle's and second uncle's family. These are not relatives who particularly need to exchange favors, but her two aunts and second uncle are very good people, and she
How uncomfortable it would be for the three of them if they had to say goodbye without saying goodbye.
Presumably, with the intention of getting along with each other for a long time in the future, Mrs. Song did not disturb her too much on weekdays. Everyone has their own days to live, and except for New Year's Day, there is no need to move around much.
But it is precisely because of this that the relatives they have just recognized will leave in less than a month. Afterwards, the Song family will regret why they did not have more contact with each other during this month, and will repeatedly do so for a long period of time afterwards.
Blame yourself.
But if I really want to say goodbye...
Thinking of her aunt's tearful and reluctant look, Qiao Yun got a headache again.
They are all elders, not as easy to coax as Meng Shaoqing. She can't stand this kind of care.
Qiao Yun's heart surged for a while before she sighed quietly.
"Forget it, I'll leave a letter when the time comes and send it to you with the food diary."
In the following time, Qiao Yun decided on the route to leave.
First, take a ride from Quwo to Jiangzhou, then take a boat at the ferry on the Fen River in Jiangzhou to go south, along the Yellow River to Luoyang, stay briefly in Luoyang for a month, see the peonies, and then follow the Grand Canal to Yangzhou
go.
Quwo County originally had a pier by the Hui River, but in a small place like Quwo County, it was difficult to find boat operators willing to take a one-way trip, and Qiao Yun was not willing to spend extra money. It happened to be this season, and Ding Shi Ji wanted to send someone there
In Dafenhao in Jiangzhou, the delivery of chili peppers is carried out in one truck, one passenger car, and a two-car mule cart, and there is someone in front and behind to take care of them.
Two days later, when Qiao Yun was about to set off, it started to rain lightly.
This is the first rain in spring!
There is a gentle drizzle, a gentle spring breeze, and the new buds of willow branches swaying in the wind beside the official road are full of feelings of farewell.
Brother Lu, Meng Shaoqing and Steward Ding came to say goodbye.
"Sister Ayun, it's a long journey. You should be well and don't get sick. Remember to write to me." Meng Shaoqing sniffed, holding back her sobs, holding Qiao Yun's hand reluctantly.
Qiao Yun smiled and nodded: "I will write to you often."
Mrs. Lu also held Yun Xuemei's hand and kept telling her: "Sister Yun, you are the only adult in this family, you must be able to handle things! The local children in Quwo County just let their children do whatever they want.
, when you get to a big city, you will be their backbone!"
Yun Xuemei also raised the corners of her mouth and said yes.
Meng Shaoheng's eyes were red, but he did not dare to cry. He stood with his hands behind his hands. Little did he know that his right hand hidden under his sleeve was almost pinching the jaw of his left hand.
Manager Ding didn't feel like saying goodbye, but like reporting on work: "About you taking the shares, Xie Dadong has already written letters to all the major accounts. There are people in Luoyang to support you, so just don't worry. It just so happens that you are coming from Luoyang.
When you set out, you can catch up with the first quarter's account settlement after you join the stock, and you can receive a considerable amount of money as expenses."
These words touched Qiao Yun's heart.
No matter where you go, you will feel confident if you have money in your pocket!
Her current total net worth is only close to 800 yuan. She also felt it when she was selling the yard a few days ago. Such a well-decorated house can be sold for 170 yuan as soon as she enters the house. Then she wants to buy a bigger one in Yangzhou.
The yard is probably more expensive.
Thanks to her, she had just one or two hundred in her hands a few months ago, and she started to feel excited, brazenly planning to take Yun Xuemei to Yangzhou to live in advance.
Fortunately I didn't go out and embarrass myself!
Guyu sat in the carriage and raised the curtain, revealing a gentle face, and said in a distant voice: "It's getting late, boss, it's time for us to leave."
"Then we'll say goodbye." Qiao Yun and Yun Xuemei said happily.
At this time, Meng Shaoheng took a step forward and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
He originally wanted to call out Yun Xuemei, but he still couldn't shout out under the gaze of everyone. He took a deep look at Qiao Yun and handed over a newly broken willow branch.
"It's hard to find a way to go, let alone ask for help..."
Everyone knows that willow branches mean farewell. But what does this poem mean? There were few educated people present, and they were all confused.
Qiao Yun was happy.
This is "Farewell Xue Hua" written by Wang Bo to say goodbye to his friends!
Qiao Yun knew that the reason why Meng Shaoheng wrote such a poem without beginning or end was because the last couplet of the poem was "No matter where I go or where I go, I am still the person in my dream."
He even put it here to express his love for Yun Xuemei!
Qiao Yun cursed, luckily she had read the book, otherwise no one here could understand the child's longing, how miserable would it be?
She took the willow branch, raised a smile and replied with a smile: "Don't worry about having no friends in the future, and no one in the world knows you." After that, she got on the car and lowered the door curtain.
Meng Shaoheng was heartbroken and became even more depressed, and it felt as if his five-flavor bottle had suddenly been knocked over. Sadness, depression, and shock all surged into his heart.
She was trying to persuade herself to stop thinking about her grandma!
only……
Which famous saying is Miss Qiao reciting? Why hasn’t he seen it in all these years of studying?
When Qiao Yun got excited, she forgot that Gao Shi's poem would not be born for another ten years.
