Chapter 120 Going to Yanjing
Chapter 120 Going to Yanjing
The clearance sale items are mostly short-sleeved shirts, shorts, skirts, slippers, sandals, sun hats, straw hats, sunglasses, sun-protective clothing...
Now that we're nearing the end of August, many businesses are starting large-scale clearance sales in order to recoup their funds.
In the past, when Qin Yingxue went to the mall to buy things, she didn't specifically look for a particular store; she would just find what she wanted and buy it directly.
I only just realized that the mall has a lot of shops, many of which are five-star shops.
Clearance prices are naturally the lowest and most cost-effective.
Unfortunately, she is now living in the 1980s.
The moment the thought crossed my mind, the online store screen switched to pictures of clothing and daily necessities from the 80s.
It seems that online stores are becoming increasingly intelligent.
No, it's more accurate to say that she hadn't spent time researching it before, nor did she feel it was necessary.
As long as she can buy what she needs, it doesn't matter which store it is.
Qin Yingxue spent some time picking and choosing, and finally bought a batch of clearance fabrics, sandals, T-shirts, and straw hats.
They were all grayish-brown, which was very suitable for the 1980s.
Qin Yingxue had complete faith in Qian Xiaofeng's abilities and directly put the purchased items into the warehouse on Xikou Street.
After doing all that, Qin Yingxue lay down on the bed, her mind filled with the string of zeros in her bank account. She needed to find a way to go to Yanjing.
Isn't the biggest motivation for making money just for those courtyard houses?
Now Yang Weijun has stayed, the Bai brothers have found ways to make money, the Wen siblings are being taken care of by their mother-in-law, and Song Yanchuan is away on a mission...
Judging from Liu Chengming's tone today, if she has any difficulties, she should go to him, which means Song Yanchuan won't be back anytime soon. In that case, she might as well go out for a trip.
She had passed through Yanjing by train the last time she took the train, and afterwards she noticed that the train journey only took six hours.
The only thing she was unsure about was that she knew nothing about Beijing in the 1980s and didn't know where to buy a house.
Moreover, there were no real estate agents in 1980; everyone traded privately. Without introductions, there were no connections, and it was impossible to even begin...
Does that mean we can't do anything about this string of zeros?
Qin Yingxue felt a little depressed, and Wu Yulan suddenly came to mind.
At that moment, she seemed to hear Huo Qixiang mutter something to himself, saying that the Wu family had a rich history.
If you really have no other choice when you get to Yanjing, you can go to Wu Yulan.
Didn't she leave her phone number and address?
Thinking of this, Qin Yingxue felt much more at ease.
Qin Yingxue re-entered the mall, sorted out all her money, and finally rested contentedly.
During dinner, Qin Yingxue made an excuse: "Mom, there's nothing going on at home right now, I'd like to go out for a bit."
"Where are you going?" Zhu Huiwen asked with concern.
"My best friend in Qing City is getting married, and I plan to go and give her a gift to see her off."
She remembered that in her previous life, her high school classmate Cai Lihua got married on September 2nd. The reason she remembered it so clearly was that she attended the wedding with a gift in her previous life, but it didn't end well.
She would never go there again in this lifetime.
“That’s only right. But you’re going back to Qing City…” Zhu Huiwen was a little worried that the journey was too long and unsafe, especially since Qin Yingxue was traveling alone.
"Mom, she married someone from Dongshi, which is very close to here. I'll be back in about three days," Qin Yingxue said with a smile.
"Okay, be careful on the road!" Zhu Huiwen was still a little worried and reminded him with concern.
"Okay, Mom, I plan to take the bus tonight. There are direct buses tonight," Qin Yingxue said, seizing the opportunity.
Zhu Huiwen's face was full of complicated emotions. Before she could speak, Qin Yingxue interrupted her: "Mom, don't worry. I'll take the army vehicle to the train station. I asked around, and there are people in the army who need to catch a train for business tonight. I can hitch a ride with them."
"It's good that there are military vehicles!" Zhu Huiwen finally felt relieved and said as she got up, "I'll make you some dry rations to eat in the vehicle now."
"Mom, no need. It's only a four-hour drive. I'll take a nap and it'll be over. Someone will pick me up. Mom, I'll go pack my things now." Qin Yingxue said, then went upstairs.
After closing the door, Qin Yingxue felt a little guilty.
She had made these up in the afternoon.
There are still some flaws, for example, how did her friend notify her when she had just joined the military?
Qin Yingxue had already thought it through. It was Cai Lihua who wrote a letter to the Qin Family Commune, and Qin Dahe told her about it in the letter.
But Zhu Huiwen trusted her so much that she didn't even ask a single question.
This made Qin Yingxue feel somewhat guilty.
But for the sake of the courtyard house, she could only take this opportunity to go.
After packing a change of clothes, Qin Yingxue went downstairs.
Zhu Huiwen quickly boiled five eggs for her to eat on the way.
Yang Weijun was the most reluctant to part with Qin Yingxue and saw her off until she got into the military vehicle.
"You have to be good. Spend more time with Xiao Haifeng when you have time. I'll buy you something delicious when I get back." Qin Yingxue gently patted Yang Weijun's head and said tenderly.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of my mother-in-law." Yang Weijun nodded vigorously and smiled, but his eyes revealed his reluctance.
"Okay! Then I'll entrust my family to you!" Qin Yingxue waved to Yang Weijie until he was completely out of sight before withdrawing her hand.
The island is too far from Yanjing, otherwise she wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.
So this excuse can only be used once, and this time she is determined to buy the courtyard house.
She's really going all out for this house!
I boarded the train, but because the journey was short and I bought the ticket at the last minute, I couldn't get a sleeper berth, or even a seat.
Qin Yingxue took out a small stool from her bundle—actually, from her spatial storage—and sat down in the corridor, hugging the bundle and closing her eyes to rest.
It's noisy with people coming and going, and the air quality is also poor.
But Qin Yingxue was in a state of high excitement for this trip.
Once things calmed down, I felt a bit drowsy.
Especially amidst the clattering of the green train, like a lullaby, Qin Yingxue nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier until they finally stuck together, and Qin Yingxue drifted off into a sweet dream.
But the next moment, Qin Yingxue felt someone gently bump into her.
She suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed the person who had come in.
He was a thin, weasel-faced man. Seeing Qin Yingxue staring at him with clear eyes, he felt a pang of guilt and raised his voice, "What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out..."
Qin Yingxue quickly took out a pair of scissors from her spatial storage, and with a single stroke, stabbed the man's wrist.
"Ah..." The man let out a shrill scream like a pig being slaughtered.
This attracted onlookers from the surrounding area.
When everyone saw the bright red blood, someone screamed, "Murder..."
