Chapter 143 - 143

Chapter 143 The Return JourneyThis time, Yun Ting shipped out a batch of goods worth around 5,000.After the transaction was completed and it was confirmed that no one else was following, he found a place to change his clothes and then went home with his basket.The basket was something she deliberately brought along to disguise herself and make it easier to take things out of her spatial storage.I'm about to leave, so before I go, I'll cook one last delicious meal for my family.Today we brought back wild beef and goose; we'll have to make a stewed goose in an iron pot.She neither sold nor finished eating the bison in the space.This time, she plans to make a tomato stewed beef. In addition to these two main dishes, she also stir-fried dried bamboo shoots with shredded pork and stir-fried bok choy. That should be enough.The aroma of her cooking swayed everyone in the family, and they all ate until they were stuffed.Knowing that she was going back to school,Father Yun Mother Yun naturally gave another round of instructions.That's how parents are; they're always worried when their children go out. No matter how old they are, they'll always be children in their parents' eyes."Honey, study hard at school, and remember to eat on time. Don't ruin your health; health is the foundation of everything!"Father Yun gave earnest and heartfelt advice."Dad, don't worry, I know everything.""Also, don't believe the sweet talk of those bastards outside. You're still young, there's no rush to find a partner! Dad will pick a good one for you later."Yun Ting glanced at her mother, her eyes asking, "Dad doesn't know?"Mother Yun: He doesn't know.No wonder they're so calm.Mother Yun glanced at him. " How old is Child? Still young?""What do you know? My daughter is an educated person, she can't get married so early.""If your daughter becomes an old maid in the future, it will be your fault.""Hmph... My daughter has plenty of suitors, she'll find the best one in the future."The couple started arguing back and forth.Helpless, Yun Ting secretly slipped back into her room.Waiting for Father Yun When Mother Yunstopped, she realized that her daughter had run away.Before going to bed, Mother Yun came to Yun Ting's room again."Daughter, Mom knows you're a woman of your own mind, so I won't nag you about anything else. But I still have to remind you a few more things: it's fine to date, but don't be foolish enough to do things you shouldn't do.""Mom, your daughter is very clever! You can rest assured.""Take this money. Don't skimp on food at school. Your second brother and younger brother can give you ten yuan each. Keep the rest for yourself."Mother Yun gave her fifty yuan, which was quite a lot at that time; she didn't even earn that much in a month.Yun Ting's eyes welled up with tears. This money was earned by her mother every day, with her fingers calloused from staring at the loom.She stuffed the money back into her mother's hand. "Mom, I still have some to use. The school gives me a subsidy every month, and my second brother gave me some last time, which I haven't used up yet! You don't need to keep thinking about sending me money. You can save it and buy yourself more food and clothes. Don't be stingy. Your son and daughter will be successful in the future! They can support you.""Your dad still has a salary! He won't go hungry. It's you guys who have to spend money all the time and effort when you're out there."The mother and daughter snuggled together and chatted until late at night. Mother Yunreluctantly went back to her room, but before leaving, she still forcefully threw the money on the bed.Yun Ting wasn't in a hurry; she had plenty of ways to leave the money for her mother.The next day, Mother Yun got up early as usual to help prepare the food for the train."Mom, make less. It's only for two days. I can't eat much. It's still hot. It'll go bad if it spoils."Yun Ting entered the kitchen, talking to her mother while taking the opportunity to fill the water tank with spiritual spring water."It's not much, I just made you a few pancakes. The dumplings are cooked, hurry up and eat! Don't wait for them."After having breakfast, Yun Ting headed to the train station without having her parents see her off. They both had to go to work, so there was no need for them to make the trip. Most importantly, she didn't like farewell scenes, and seeing her parents' red eyes made her feel bad too.Yesterday, when Mother Yun went into her daughter's room to tidy up, she found the fifty yuan under the pillow."Why is this girl so stubborn?"Mother Yun complained, but she was actually pleased that her daughter had grown up.After a two-day train journey, Yun Ting finally arrived in Capital City.On the way back, she took a soft sleeper, which was very comfortable. This time, she took a hard sleeper, which made her very uncomfortable. It was also hot, and the carriage smelled of everything.Fortunately, she went to the bathroom and took the opportunity to enter her spatial dimension to recover, otherwise she would have collapsed.After leaving the station, I took a bus back to the courtyard.I didn't have time to clean up; I just washed up and went to sleep. I'll deal with it when I wake up.She was woken up by hunger; when she woke up, it was already past lunchtime.Too lazy to cook, I grabbed four steamed buns from my spatial storage and devoured them in one go. Then I ate an apple, drank some spiritual spring water, and finally let out a satisfied burp.After resting enough, I thoroughly cleaned the yard and the house.With nothing else to do, she rode her bicycle towards Yang Qingqing's place, bringing a few peaches with her. She had bought some from someone selling them at the black market back in her hometown, not knowing if Yang Qingqing was home or not.Yang Qingqing, whom she was thinking about,made quite a bit of money this summer.Yun Ting saw Yang Qingqing smiling and talking to a male comrade at the door from afar. The atmosphere seemed quite pleasant, and her eyes lit up.He immediately grabbed the bicycle bell and swayed over, the wheels making a light, tinkling sound on the bluestone road."Hey— Beauty Yang, you're all smiles as you chat, aren't you going to introduce yourself to me?" Before the car had even come to a complete stop, she leaned on the seat with one hand and smiled, while shaking the bag of peaches in the other. "I just came all the way from my hometown, and I brought 'gossip bargaining chips' with me. Aren't you going to tell me about them?"Yang Qingqing turned to look at her and patted her arm. "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a friend of mine, Gao Xudong." She then turned to the other side and said to Gao Xudong, "This unreliable person is a sister I met when I was working in the countryside. That's just her personality; she likes to talk nonsense. Don't listen to her.""Hey, hey, hey... How did you introduce me? How am I being irresponsible? I think you're the one talking nonsense and ruining my reputation."Gao Xudong couldn't help but laugh out loud."Hello, my name is Gao Xudong.""Hello, Yun Ting, I'm your friendly comrade."Yun Ting winked at Yang Qingqing, lightly pushed off the pedal, and the bicycle slid forward half a meter. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Wow, you've been keeping it well hidden. Tell me, when did you hook up with her?"Gao Xudong's ears twitched, and the corners of his mouth turned up. He glanced at Yang Qingqing without making a sound, and when he turned away, he met Yun Ting's meaningful gaze. He turned away uncomfortably." Yun Ting, do you know how to use words? What does 'hooking up' mean?"Yang Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes at her. So loud, does she think no one can hear her?"Hmph..." She could see very clearly that if that kid surnamed Gao wasn't interested in her, shewould write her name Yun Ting backwards."You guys chat, I'll be going now."Gao Xudong felt that his presence was interfering with the sisters' time together."Hey! Don't go! It's like my arrival is disturbing you!""Yes, you should be the one leaving." Yang Qingqing covered her mouth, afraid that she would make up even more outrageous things in the next second, and turned to Gao Xudong and said, "Then you should go back first!"
