The two sisters were worried and sent Zhao Xiaojing home. By this time, Xiaoling was already cooking. The remaining children were gluing paper boxes in the house.
Only then did Zhao Xiaojing really understand how hard the children worked. What reason did she have for not cheering up?
"Second aunt, let's make some cakes tonight, shall we?"
"Okay, I'll cook." The eldest niece is really capable. This makes the two children rest assured that they are here.
"Xiaoling, if Haifeng stays here from now on, you will be tired."
Zhao Xiaoling shook her head, "Second aunt, it's okay. This is my brother and I will take care of him. And Xiaohong is with him."
The family sat together to eat. In the evening, Zhao Xiaojing lived with her two sons. She was leaving tomorrow, but she still wanted to get close to her sons.
"Mom, don't be too tired. My eldest sister and I can still work for others by pasting paper boxes. We can earn our own tuition."
"Okay, I understand, don't worry about me."
"Mom, if you find another one in the future, I agree."
Zhao Xiaojing did not expect her son to say this. "Okay, I will find another one when I meet him in the future."
The next day, early in the morning, the children had breakfast and went to school. Today they spent half a day doing hygiene and handing out books.
Zhao Yanli had to go to work, so Zhou Yongbing rode a bicycle to take Zhao Xiaojing to the train.
After giving some instructions, I watched the train leave before going home.
Zhao Xiaojing found a seat on the train. As a single woman, she still attracted some people's attention.
She didn't bring anything to eat, but she planned to eat in the dining car.
At noon, when she came back from the dining car after eating, she saw someone taking her seat.
"Comrade, this is my place."
The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Xiaojing and said, "I saw that there was no one on the seat, so I sat down. I'm sorry."
The man sat opposite. Zhao Xiaojing sat down with the teapot.
The man chatted with Zhao Xiaojing from time to time.
The two of them have become familiar with each other after going back and forth. Zhao Xiaojing also knows that this man is Tang Yiqing. He is thirty-two this year, a worker in the enamel factory, and he comes here to sell.
Tang Yiqing was a very good chatterer. In the evening, the two of them went to the dining car to eat while chatting and laughing.
Zhao Xiaojing did not say that she was divorced, but she already knew that Tang Yiqing was single and had a 13-year-old daughter. His wife was sick and died.
"Comrade Zhao, are you not afraid of riding the train alone?"
"It's not bad. I just came to take my children to school. There's nothing going on here, so I'll go back. It's time for spring planting on the farm."
"Comrade Zhao is really very capable."
"What can I do? I have two children to support."
The two came back after dinner. There were not many people in the carriage. Zhao Xiaojing could seat three people here, and now she was alone. So she lay down directly wearing a coat. This way she could be comfortable.
Tang Yiqing also made a move, so their eyes met below.
Zhao Xiaojing was a little embarrassed. She turned around and went to sleep.
Tang Yiqing smiled. The two became more familiar with each other the next day. There were fewer passengers going there at this time.
The two just chatted. Zhao Xiaojing was attracted by Tang Yiqing's talkativeness. There were more smiles on her face.
"Comrade Tang, are you about to get off the car?"
"How about another day and night? I'm here to chat with Comrade Zhao."
"Thank you, Comrade Tang."
The two of them had dinner in the evening. Tang Yiqing even helped Zhao Xiaojing prepare food. The two looked like they were good friends for many years, chatting and laughing.
Moreover, Zhao Xiaojing no longer always thinks about Xu Hongbing. Of course, her mood is much better.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Tang Yiqing greeted Zhao Xiaojing and the two of them lay on the bench and chatted.
"Comrade Zhao, I will get off the bus tomorrow morning. Chatting with you along the way, I feel that time flies very fast."
"Me too." Otherwise, I would be very lonely and would be thinking about Xu Hongbing.
"If you have time to come over in the future, you can go to my house and I will give you the address."
"Thank you, I'll have a chance in the future." Zhao Xiaojing said with a smile. In fact, she was really reluctant to part with it.
"I will write to you later."
"Our farm is very slow to receive letters."
"It's really inconvenient. By the way, it will take two months before you can farm the farm again, right? How about you follow me and play here for a few days? In fact, this place is similar to your place."
Zhao Xiaojing was very excited. Indeed, she had been a lot happier in the past two days. Maybe it was because she had no friends.
Tang Yiqing is a very talkative person. The two of them also have a common language. Anyway, there is nothing to do when he goes back. Now that the job of grinding corn in the field department is gone, he can really only stay at home.
That's it, it's the same thing if you just stop and stay for a few days and then go back.
"Would that bother you? It's too inconvenient, so I won't go."
Tang Yiqing immediately answered, "What's the inconvenience? It doesn't matter, my home is very close to the train station. And I am the only one at home now, and my children go to school in my hometown with my parents."
"Is it really not inconvenient?"
"No, no. I can still work a few nights and show you around our city."
"Then I'll trouble you, Comrade Tang."
"What's the trouble? It's fate that we know each other and can talk about each other."
Zhao Xiaojing smiled and nodded.
The two kept chatting quietly, and Zhao Xiaojing was really excited. In fact, she really didn't have any friends. When she was a child, she was in the village, and at worst she went to the market. After that, when she came here, her brother and sister were together.
There is Su Yuanyuan, but she is not very close to him.
Moreover, the families on the farm are too far away from each other. It is impossible to visit them even if they want to. After getting married, it was Xu Hongbing. Now that man has changed his mind and no longer wants to be himself.
I thought I would live like this for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect to make friends on the train.
The next day, Tang Yiqing didn't let Zhao Xiaojing eat on the train. "I'll treat you to a meal. Don't eat on the train. I've really eaten enough." Shunyan winked.
Zhao Xiaojing smiled and nodded. She only had two leather bags, and Tang Yiqing also had two, so it was quite convenient for them to get off the bus.
This is also a small city and looks pretty much the same.
"Are you disappointed?"
"There are very few places I have been to, and they all feel the same."
"Let's go and eat first. I'll take you to my house later. It's been so long since no one has stayed there. It's probably going to be very cold. I hate winter the most."
The two walked out of the train station side by side. There were not many people outside, so she followed Tang Yiqing into the hotel.
"Xiao Tang is back? Is this your friend?"
A man who was eating and about the same age as Tang Yiqing greeted them with a smile.
