Liu Shuzhen rarely made a decisive decision. Gu Ning thought for a moment and chose to respect the other party's opinion.
Because this was not just Liu Shuzhen's own opinion. Likewise, after Gu Ning thought about it in many ways, she found that it was difficult to study this matter in detail.
People from the capital know nothing about each other.
This is different from the An family in Anzhou City. At least, they moved to Anzhou City, and Lin Cuiying slowly took action. This also gave Gu Ning a clue. Based on the clues from the other party, he finally traced the An family.
.
Only then did I learn about my family background.
However, Liu Shuzhen is different. First, the other party is out of town. Second, Liu Shuzhen has grown up normally in the Liu family for so many years. Mrs. Liu has not suppressed Liu Shuzhen. Third, and most importantly
At one point, they had no clues except the capital city and the surname Xu.
Instead, search for the needle in the haystack.
It is better to stop quietly and wait for the other party to reveal its flaws. Of course, it would be best if the other party never takes action.
Just pretend that we have nothing to do with each other until we die.
Her mother is still her mother, and their family's current living conditions are very good, so they don't need so-called relatives to make things better.
After thinking about everything, Gu Ning made a decision and followed the original plan. After sending Liu Shuzhen home, she took two good cigarettes from home, two bottles of Wuliangye, a pound of white sugar, and a pound of brown sugar.
So I went directly to the textile factory and found the deputy director there.
This is a personal connection that existed before.
The deputy director was a little surprised by Gu Ning's arrival, "Gu Ning, what kind of wind brought you here?" Although the deputy director was as old as Gu Ning's father, he was in front of Gu Ning.
, but dare not take Joe.
Not to mention, she herself was the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination and was admitted to Tsinghua University. She has a bright future. Let's talk about the two big mountains behind her: An Jia and Zhou Zhiyuan.
Anyone with brains in Anzhou City would not offend Gu Ning.
Therefore, he was extremely enthusiastic towards Gu Ning.
Gu Ning smiled and pushed the brown paper bag forward, "Uncle Lin, I'm here to help you."
She didn't use a net bag because the things exposed in the net bag didn't look good, so she deliberately chose a brown paper bag that couldn't be seen from the outside. When she put it on the table, it happened to be open and the contents inside could be seen.
Deputy Director Lin glanced at her casually, then paused, "Niece, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Why are you so polite?"
Even the conversation was a bit enthusiastic.
"That's it. I'm here to inquire about a position for someone. He wants to work as a temporary worker in the security department of the textile factory. Uncle, do you think you can help me with that?"
Originally, when Gu Ning talked about the first half, Deputy Director Lin was still frowning. After all, the job quotas in the textile factory were always a carrot and a pit.
Although many people have quit their jobs in the past two years to go into business, jobs in textile factories can be considered iron jobs after all, and they are still very popular.
However, when Deputy Factory Director Lin heard about temporary workers, he frowned and slowly relaxed.
"Temporary workers, that's easy to say." Deputy Director Lin relaxed a little, "However, it is not easy to be a temporary worker in a textile factory. They also need to be assessed. If you fail the assessment, you still won't be able to stay."
Gu Ning thought for a while and said, "Okay, then that's it." After a pause, she added, "If the other party can't stay, don't worry about my face, just fire me."
She has done her best to find a job for Liu Baoliang. As for whether he can keep the job, it has nothing to do with her.
After hearing this, Deputy Director Lin was a little surprised, but wisely did not ask any more questions.
After Gu Ning leaves the Lin family.
Deputy Director Lin's wife came out wearing an apron and looked at what Gu Ning had sent. After reading it, she was very surprised and said, "This is the first time I have seen someone giving a gift like this."
All the gifts were given, but he didn't even let the other party get things settled right at once.
Deputy Director Lin held the enamel vat and smelled the aroma of tea. He felt that the Wuliangye next to him could smell the aroma of wine even if it was covered with a lid. The smell of wine could even kill the wine bug in his stomach.
They're all ticked out.
He couldn't help but open the bag, held a bottle of Wuliangye, put it under his nose, and sniffed it carefully, with a satisfied look on his face.
"What do you know? Gu Ning is the smart one."
His wife wanted to ask why, but saw her husband's impatient expression and immediately swallowed her words.
When Gu Ning came out of Deputy Factory Director Lin's house, she naturally didn't know about this.
However, I know she won't take it to heart.
Because after she had gone through this period, Liu Baoliang's job was quickly arranged. Although he was a temporary worker in the security department, it was enough to surprise Liu Baoliang.
I wish I could be grateful to Gu Ning, but also a little afraid.
For the Liu family, for him, what he couldn't do in his life was done directly by Gu Ning with just a few words.
This is enough to highlight the gap between the two families.
It was precisely because he saw this clearly that Liu Baoliang became more and more afraid of Gu Ning, and felt more and more that he had to restrain his sister Liu Rongrong and must not offend Gu Ning.
*
Gu Ning arranged her family affairs and prepared to go south.
Zhou Zhiyuan, on the other hand, finished what he was doing and directly booked two train tickets to go south to Yangcheng. Of course, the train tickets he booked were for official business and he bought two soft sleeper tickets.
These days, it’s hard to buy train tickets going south, and it’s even harder to buy soft sleepers.
Moreover, this was the first time that Gu Ning and Zhou Zhiyuan went out alone for so long.
As early as the first day of departure, Gu Ning and Liu Shuzhen began to prepare food for the train. Liu Shuzhen's good cooking skills naturally came into full use. She baked seven or eight scallion pancakes and boiled a dozen tea eggs.
I made a plate of fried dumplings and fried them until golden brown on both sides. Even if the weather is hot, I can make them the next day.
Liu Shuzhen prepared the staple food, while Gu Ning went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought five packs of Shanghai brand instant noodles, a bag of peach cakes, and two cans of canned yellow peaches.
Half a pound of melon seeds, half a pound of peanuts, two apples, four autumn peaches, and six oranges.
This was almost all they had to eat on the train. She calculated that the train going south would take three days and two nights. After all these things were eaten, she could still eat in the dining car on the train.
Not afraid of being hungry.
However, there are many things to prepare, and it is troublesome to carry them. The package alone is a big bag, but fortunately Zhou Zhiyuan is tall and strong. He can lift a very large package with one hand.
Zhou Zhiyuan came to Gu's house to pick her up, weighed the package, "Have you brought everything?"
His voice was obviously too cold, but when facing Gu Ning, he would subconsciously lower it a few degrees every time, diluting the coldness and making it a bit gentler.
Gu Ning nodded, "We're almost ready."
When she saw the other party carrying a very small bag, she frowned, "Is that all you have?"
It feels like there is at most one change of clothes in it, but any more would be absolutely impossible.
Zhou Zhiyuan hummed, "A change of clothes is enough."
He looked at it and found that there seemed to be nothing else he was going to bring. As for food, he knew that the food on the train tasted good, so he didn't bring much. He planned to take Gu Ning to the train's dining car, but he didn't expect that Gu Ning would pack up here.
There are actually quite a lot of packages.
Gu Ning couldn't help but click her tongue, this is the difference between gays and lesbians before they go out.
When the two of them saw that the time was about the same, Gu Ning said to Liu Shuzhen, "Mom, you will live with Yangyang at home. If the Liu family still comes to bother you, you will take Yangyang and live with Anjia."
"Grandpa, I've already said hello."
However, normally speaking, the Liu family would not dare to come to Liu Shuzhen when she kept knocking her.
Liu Shuzhen nodded, "I know."
"You don't have to worry about things at home, but you-" She looked at Zhou Zhiyuan with worry hidden in her eyes, "Zhiyuan, I ask you to take more care of me on the road to Ningning."
The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles.
Even though she knew her daughter's abilities, Liu Shuzhen still couldn't help but worry.
Zhou Zhiyuan nodded, "Aunt, don't worry."
He is tall and straight, with firm features. He gives people a sense of security just by standing without speaking, let alone agreeing so specifically.
This also made Liu Shuzhen involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief, and told Gu Ning, "Ning Ning, you too, don't be willful when you are walking outside, listen more to Zhiyuan, and when you arrive in Yangcheng, call home first."
Gu Ning hummed softly, "Okay, Mom, the train has arrived at the check-in point. Zhiyuan and I are going in. You take care of yourself at home. In addition, I will go directly to Yangcheng, where Dad and the others will stay. If Dad
I’ve contacted you from the northwest, please remember to say hello to him.”
However, she thought for a moment, and it didn't matter if Gu Jianshe didn't know. Because Wu Xiuling was also guarding the base area.
She wasn't worried about missing out.
In the past two years, Wu Xiuling has established a firm foothold in the south, which means she has someone to pick her up when she goes there, not to mention that she has Zhou Zhiyuan, a living hell, by her side.
Gu Ning felt that human traffickers would only come to her if they couldn't keep their eyes open. Of course, it was unlucky for the traffickers to meet Zhou Zhiyuan.
After bidding farewell to Liu Shuzhen, Gu Ning followed Zhou Zhiyuan into the train station.
Anzhou Railway Station is still an old railway station, with three large red-brick and tile-roofed buildings, near the main entrance. People are coming and going, many of them are carrying luggage, and some are saying goodbye to their families with reluctance on their faces.
There are also those who look forward to going south to make a lot of money.
In short, at this moment, Gu Ning seemed to see all kinds of life.
"Ning Ning? Give the vote to the other party."
When Zhou Zhiyuan saw that Gu Ning didn't respond, he reminded her.
Gu Ning suddenly came to his senses, took out the ticket from his pocket and handed it to the ticket inspector.
The ticket inspector took the stamp and slapped it on. When he saw that it was a sleeper ticket, he kindly reminded him, "The sleeper berth is in carriage 16. After entering the station, turn left and go straight.
Festival."
The sound of the reminder is neither too loud nor too quiet, but it is enough to be heard by the passengers checking tickets around.
That moment.
Gu Ning was sure that many people were looking at them with envious eyes.
After all, it is a sleeper!
It’s not easy to buy. If a member of the public goes on a business trip, it will take big leaders to buy it.
Ordinary people, let alone sleeper tickets, have to wait in line for a long time to buy hard-seat tickets.
Gu Ning raised an eyebrow, and after entering, she asked Zhou Zhiyuan in a low voice, "Is it difficult to buy a sleeper berth ticket?"
Anyway, she couldn't buy it herself, because buying a sleeper ticket was not only a matter of money, but also required a travel certificate from her employer.
And Gu Ning now belongs to the land of "no one cares". She has just graduated from high school and has no employer to accept her, so naturally she can't buy one. Of course, she can also ask Mr. An for help. It's easy to get a sleeper ticket, but Gu Ning doesn't want to bother.
other side.
Then he didn't open his mouth.
Zhou Zhiyuan was carrying a luggage bag that was half a person tall. He shook his head and said, "It's okay. We all have quotas in our unit."
Moreover, he was also on a business trip this time and happened to go to the south to investigate the situation. As for Gu Ning's ticket, Zhou Zhiyuan used the family channel.
Naturally, the human resources department of the unit would not embarrass Zhou Zhiyuan with such a trivial matter.
After hearing this, Gu Ning couldn't help but whisper, "Thank you, Zhou Zhiyuan."
It seems that when she is with Zhou Zhiyuan, she only needs to find one person and doesn't have to think about anything.
Zhou Zhiyuan was surprised. He freed up a hand and rubbed Gu Ning's hair, "What's there to be thankful for?"
"Not that much."
While talking, the two of them got on the platform and walked forward. On the way, many passengers were already on the car, and they could see each other packing their luggage through the glass window.
However, most of them had hard seats. After walking a few more carriages, we finally arrived at the hard sleeper carriage.
It wasn't theirs yet. They walked all the way to the end and then reached the carriage that belonged to them.
Soft sleeper.
Compared with the hard sleepers, the soft sleepers here are quieter and the environment is relatively better. Of course, the price is also very objective.
After Gu Ning and Zhou Zhiyuan entered together, they discovered that the bunks on the soft sleeper side were half as many as those on the hard sleeper side, and there were also many fewer passengers.
There were already quite a few passengers who had checked in first and were packing their things. Most of them were wearing decent uniforms and had separate briefcases. They looked like they were on business.
When Gu Ning was observing everyone, everyone also noticed the two of them.
Without him, the appearance of Gu Ning and Zhou Zhiyuan as a couple was simply too brilliant. As soon as they walked in, the entire carriage seemed to brighten up a bit.
Many people nodded politely as a greeting.
Gu Ning smiled and followed Zhou Zhiyuan to stop in front of their berth. There were only two upper and lower berths here, and Zhou Zhiyuan bought two lower berths.
However, when they arrived, someone was already placing things on the lower bunk.
This made Zhou Zhiyuan and Gu Ning frown at the same time. They checked the carriage and serial number again to make sure they were on the right track.
Then he asked the comrade who was sitting on the lower bunk with his head bowed, "Comrade, are you in the wrong position?"
