Chapter 283 Tian Xingzhu Returns
Tian Xingzhu stayed in Beijing for two more days. With her holiday almost over, she had no choice but to prepare to return to Lanshan County.
Compared to the last time Tian Xingzhu went to the countryside, when she knew nothing and thought that everything could be solved with money and coupons, this time she was much more confident.
But in that small place, Nanjiang County, there are many things that you can't buy even if you have money and tickets.
Therefore, when she went back this time, Tian Xingzhu not only asked her mother to prepare a lot of money and tickets for her.
She also prepared a lot of daily necessities, including a 10-pound cotton quilt, sweaters, woolen trousers, woolen coats, fur shoes, and various other items, as well as all kinds of food, including beef jerky, malted milk powder, and even chocolates that are only sold in Friendship Department Store.
Tian Xingzhu knew that these things were not easy to collect even in Beijing.
Therefore, as soon as she got back and reached an agreement with her mother, she started making preparations.
A few days before returning to Nanjiang County, the items had been sent to Nanjiang County via the post office.
The day before her daughter's departure, Chu Baiying was not as sad about her daughter's trip to the countryside as she was the first time. However, she still repeatedly emphasized to her daughter that she must make sure to take care of the things she had arranged beforehand.
I hope that when I return next time, it will be when I am transferred back to Beijing.
Tian Xingzhu returned to Beijing this time, thinking of the Lanshan Brigade, which was far away and in a remote, impoverished area.
That's a million times I don't want to go back.
After all, compared to Beijing, it's like heaven and earth, incomparable.
But before leaving, she thought of the jade jewelry she carried with her in her bag and the 3 yuan she had mailed to her.
With a determined heart and gritted teeth, she secretly vowed that no matter what, she would go back this time for the sake of money.
However, once I get back, I need to get things done as soon as possible and return to Beijing.
After all, she's not young anymore, and she can't waste her prime years in a small place like the countryside.
If the man she marries is not good enough in any way, she will lose face in front of her group of sisters.
Because of her good family background and outstanding looks, Tian Xingzhu was one of the best among her close friends since childhood.
Although she knew that most of those who got along well with her were only doing so because of her good family background and the opportunity to take advantage of her.
But with people flattering and fawning over him, Tian Xingzhu felt that life was still quite good.
She didn't want to return to Beijing and end up worse off than those girls she used to look down on.
How will she cope then?
Therefore, without her mother's instructions, she would do her best to get things done and return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Chu Baiying even reassured her daughter, secretly telling her that she had already found her a job, and that as long as she called to let her know that things were settled, she would immediately begin preparing for the job transfer.
When Tian Xingzhu heard her mother say that, her eyes lit up instantly.
In her opinion, although she felt that with her family's financial situation, finding a job would not be a problem.
But nowadays, there's a limited pool of jobs available, and not only do those who went to the countryside want to come back, but many who stayed in Beijing are also struggling to find work.
Therefore, although she was confident, she hadn't made up her mind yet and felt a little uneasy.
Hearing her mother say this now, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She understood that everything else was ready, and she was just waiting to return to Nanshan County and take care of things there.
She could then return to Beijing and live her carefree life.
Moreover, this time when I returned to Beijing, the situation was different from before.
Although she had been living a comfortable life before, with her mother giving her pocket money every month and buying her pretty clothes and shoes, there were other siblings in the family, and her mother couldn't possibly spend all the money on her alone.
But if she can successfully return to Beijing this time, she will have both money and tickets.
Moreover, since she handled this important matter so successfully, her mother would surely treat her well.
When she has that much money and tickets, she won't have to depend on others anymore.
Spend it however you want.
Thinking of the man she had a crush on, a blush crept onto her face.
I heard that his sister loves all kinds of clothes and cosmetics, so she must have a lot of money.
When the time comes, money will pave the way; I don't believe I can't persuade that person's sister to speak well of her.
If she could marry into a family like that, she could do whatever she wanted in Beijing.
Thinking of those things, Tian Xingzhu was bubbly with joy and laughed out loud.
She felt that it was absolutely the right thing to do to go back to Beijing and ask her mother for these items in advance.
This time when she returned, Tian Xingzhu had a completely different mindset than when she came.
They boarded the train to Nanjiang County with high spirits and great hope.
However, she knew the importance of the matter, so she put the set of jade jewelry her mother had given her into her small handbag and held it tightly to her body.
She absolutely adores this set of jewelry.
After asking so many times, her mother finally agreed to give it to her.
Before she left, her mother even said that she would keep the money for her and return it to her when she returned to Beijing.
After hearing this, Tian Xingzhu immediately refused her mother.
For her, this thing was only truly safe in her own hands, and she had even spent a fortune to buy a lock from a well-known locksmith in Beijing for this set of jewelry.
The lock looked ordinary, but the locksmith was an old locksmith who had been passed down from the previous dynasty.
The craftsmanship is superb; it's not the kind of mass-produced goods you find on the market.
Once locked, that lock cannot be opened by any other means except by cutting the lock face.
This is also the main reason why Tian Xingzhu felt at ease bringing this set of jewelry back from Beijing to Nanjiang County.
She knew about the educated youth settlement in Lanshan Brigade, Nanjiang County.
With this lock, she could put the jewelry into the large wooden box she had bought.
As long as no one can get her key, this set of jewelry should be safe.
After boarding the train, Tian Xingzhu waved goodbye to her mother from afar.
Chu Baiying waved goodbye from outside, feeling somewhat saddened by her daughter's departure.
Her precious daughter had only been in the countryside for a short time, but her skin had already gotten tanned and become much rougher.
But thinking of his own important matter, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
But this time she prepared a lot of food, drinks and other necessities for her daughter, thinking that she wouldn't suffer in the countryside.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a day and a night on the train, Tian Xingzhu arrived safely at Nanjiang County Railway Station.
We arrived at the train station at around 8:30 a.m.
Tian Xingzhu's train ticket back from Beijing was a sleeper ticket that Chu Baiying bought through special channels.
So even though she had just gotten off the train, she was in pretty good shape.
She even tidied herself up properly before getting off the train, so she didn't look haggard.
