Although Su Xiaotian wanted to cry, she also knew that even crying would have no effect. She should go back or not.
In this case, it is better to face it calmly.
Maybe the school is willing to give me a chance to make up the exam?
If there is a chance to make up the exam, I guess I won’t have to repeat the grade, right?
Su Xiaotian and others rushed to the city on the third day.
They were able to go to the city not because the road was open, but because the people in the village used bullock carts to take them to the city.
The oxcart was slow, and it took one day to get to the city alone, and two days to go back.
But the people in the village felt that Su Xiaotian had helped them and they could not let Su Xiaotian be delayed any longer.
Therefore, an oxcart was finally arranged to take the three of them to the city.
In fact, it would be most convenient if people in the village take them to the city by bicycle.
Although bicycles are slow and rely on human power, they are still much faster than ox carts.
A young man with good physical strength can pedal a bicycle very quickly.
But the three of them had brought their luggage, and the villagers had sent many good things.
There are locally produced fruits and melons, as well as some well-made dry food, rice balls, eggs, salted duck eggs and the like.
It's all for them to eat on the road.
Forget it, it can barely be carried on a bicycle. However, some people heard that Shen Zizhen and others liked the rice produced here, and soon, someone sent rice over.
Five kilograms for you and ten kilograms for others are not a lot, but a little adds up to a lot!
Before leaving, except for the seats for three people, the rest of the open ox cart was filled with four or five bags of rice, weighing almost four to five hundred kilograms.
Su Xiaotian and others don't want it.
Most of these villagers were beholden to Su Xiaotian.
The first aid measures only took a few days and had already saved a dozen people nearby.
How could the villagers not know that this little girl really gave them the ability to eat?
Just so that they can leave a life.
How many kilograms of rice can repay such kindness?
Some villagers even said that this year's rice has not been milled yet and that new rice will be delivered to them when it comes.
The three people got on the bullock cart amid the enthusiasm of the villagers.
The ox cart was moving slowly and swaying towards the city.
The drivers were none other than brothers An Rongxue and An Ronghua.
These two brothers have the most contact with Shen Zizhen and a few others, so it is most appropriate for them to send it off.
They set off at dawn in the morning and arrived at the train station at around five o'clock in the afternoon.
Along the way, at noon, we found a place to rest under the shade of a tree.
After getting off the carriage, Su Xiaotian started jumping under the carriage.
Su Xiaotian had also ridden on a bullock cart, but it had indeed been a long time since she had ridden in one. Now that she was jolting, she felt as if her butt was no longer her own.
However, in order to get to the city as soon as possible, I could only endure it even if I felt uncomfortable.
An Rongxue and An Ronghua saw Su Xiaotian's sadness.
"Little sir, if you keep persisting, you'll be there soon. Sitting in an oxcart is not very comfortable."
It's uncomfortable. It's one thing to sit on a bullock cart and feel your buttocks. You can't let go of your legs, you can only cross them. It's only for a short time. But over time, your legs won't be able to bear it.
I believe no one will feel comfortable with the numbness of their legs.
Su Xiaotian jumped up and down for two or three minutes before she felt a little better and her bones became looser.
Shen Zizhen's performance was a little more calm, just pacing back and forth under the tree.
Five minutes later, several people began to eat the rice dumplings made by Li Guihua.
Su Xiaotian prepared fruit tea in the morning, which goes well with rice dumplings. It tastes good.
"This fruit tea is sour and sweet, and tastes really good."
After An Ronghua took a sip, he said with a naive smile.
"Of course it tastes good. It contains a lot of sugar." An Rongxue agreed very much that this fruit tea is delicious.
"Uncle Rongxue, there is no sugar in this tea, just sweeter fruits." Su Xiaotian explained with a smile.
Various fruits can produce various flavors after being proportioned.
If you like sweet, add more sweet fruits; if you like sour, add more sour fruits.
If you don’t like things that are too sour or sweet, then add some fruit with a bland taste.
"Really? This tastes so good. I'll make some for my wife when I go back."
Su Xiaotian smiled. An Rongxue was really a good man. After tasting good things, he thought about his wife first.
"Let me tell you about the fruits in it. You can try it when you go home. Auntie Guihua will probably like it!"
A few people were eating and drinking, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone got back in the car and continued moving forward.
Along the way, the gravel road was seriously damaged and many people were repairing the road.
Su Xiaotian estimated that it would take three or four days before the road was repaired.
Fortunately, there was an ox cart to take them there. If they had to wait three or four days, the day lilies would be cold by the time they arrived in the capital.
The closer we get to the city, the road conditions get better, and the speed of the oxcart becomes much faster.
Even so, by the time they arrived at the train station, it was already 5:20 in the afternoon.
"Okay, okay, I caught up!" An Rongxue wiped the sweat from his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
He hurried and hurried slowly, fearing that he would delay Teacher Shen's train.
Fortunately, I caught up!
"Teacher Shen, at this time, you can still have a bowl of noodles nearby." An Ronghua said.
Next, I have to spend a few days in the car, and I probably won't be able to eat a warm meal.
Shen Zizhen looked at the time and said, "I'd better go buy the train tickets first. You two brothers will wait for us here."
He did plan to eat. After all, he would have to spend time on the train. Even if he could eat, it would be a bit difficult to eat something hot.
Moreover, brothers An Ronghua and An Rongxue sent them on this trip, so it was only reasonable to treat them to a meal.
This was Shen Zizhen's thought but she didn't say it out loud, and the An brothers didn't know either. They just nodded to indicate that they were waiting.
Shen Zizhen and others walked towards the ticket office.
As it happens, there is a bus to Beijing at 7:30 in the evening.
Su Xiaotian estimated that if they wanted to catch this train, they could only get standing tickets.
After all, trains are a very popular means of transportation no matter what era they are in.
Even in the past two years, the trains have never been empty.
There are only two hours left before the train leaves.
But Su Xiaotian forgot that this is not the time in future generations when you can buy it if you have money.
In this era, you must have a letter of introduction from your employer to purchase sleeper tickets, and most people are not qualified for this.
When many people go on business, they are not eligible to buy sleeper tickets and can only buy hard-seat tickets.
As a result, hard-seat tickets are often sold out first.
They arrived at the ticket window. Inside the window was a middle-aged lady selling tickets with a straight face.
Su Xiaotian was actually used to seeing this kind of expression.
In this era, everyone who can get along with the public generally has this kind of expression, which is completely different from the feeling in later generations that the customer is God.
Shen Zizhen didn't care much about this. Anyway, it was just a matter of buying a few tickets. It didn't matter whether his attitude was good or not.
"Comrade, we are going to the capital. Are there any tickets left?"
