Chapter 107 Preparation before departure
Chapter 107 Preparation before departure
In the next few days, Shen Anan made preparations for departure.
First of all, let’s deal with the brick factory. Since the order from the furniture factory has not been completed yet, the brick factory’s main task at this stage is to supply red bricks to the furniture factory first.
However, other sales channels also need to be explored as soon as possible, so Shen Anan specifically instructed Zhao Shunzi to find orders in the town and county as soon as possible, and even personal orders should not be missed.
This time, Shen Anan opened a letter of introduction in the name of visiting relatives, so the destination can only be South Island. Shen Anan also wanted to find an opportunity to go to Beijing, but it seems that it is not possible for the time being, so she can only wait and find a way later.
In this era, it was really troublesome to go out. Not only did you need a letter of introduction, but you also needed to prepare some national food coupons, because the food coupons of each province were only valid within the province.
For this purpose, Shen Anan even went to the black market to exchange the food coupons.
The Shen family also prepared a lot of things for her on this trip, including bacon made for the Chinese New Year, shoes and cotton-padded jacket made by Wang Sufen for Shen Yuanjun, dried wild vegetables and mushrooms, and even Shen Laiyou asked someone to buy a small piece of wild ginseng and asked Shen Anan to bring it to Shen Yuanjun.
If Wang Sufen hadn't been worried that Shen Anan's small body couldn't carry so many things, she would have wanted to give her half of the home.
In the end, even after reducing the amount again and again, the stuff still filled two large bags and a backpack.
Wang Sufen was worried, her brows furrowed. "An An, why don't you reduce the amount a little? How can you carry so many things?"
"Hey, if you had listened to mom and asked your eldest brother or fifth brother to accompany you, you wouldn't have to do anything."
Shen Anan quickly stopped Wang Sufen who was about to pack her luggage again, "Mom, no need, I can carry it. My sixth brother will take me to the car here, and my third brother will pick me up on the other side. I can't carry it for more than a few steps."
"And I'm very strong, just look if you don't believe me!" Shen Anan said as she picked up a bag in one hand, with a very relaxed expression, and even shook the bag in her hand.
"My daughter is so amazing..." Wang Sufen opened her mouth in shock. When did An An become so strong?
She had just tried to lift the bag, and although she could barely do it, she couldn't do it as easily as her daughter.
As far as she could remember, An An couldn’t even lift a bucket of water. Could it be that she remembered it wrong?
"Put it down quickly, aren't you tired?"
Shen Anan easily put down the huge bag in her hand without blushing or panting.
Ever since the marrow cleansing pill improved her physique, she has become much stronger, so this little thing is no problem at all for her.
Moreover, she can put things in the space on the road, so she will not be tired. If she carries a lot of luggage, she can also smuggle some good things for her third brother.
Wang Sufen suddenly thought of something and became a little worried. "An An, your second brother sent a telegram to your third brother about your trip to South Island, but just like the letters, there's still no reply. I don't know if he received it. I don't know if he will come to pick you up this time."
"It's okay, Mom. I know the address of Third Brother's military district. If it doesn't work, I'll go there myself."
"Don't worry, I will send you a telegram as soon as I arrive to let you know that I am safe." Shen Anan frowned.
There was no reply to the telegram or letter, which was indeed very abnormal. Shen Anan felt more and more that something must have happened to her third brother.
Now she just has to wait to buy the train ticket and then she can set off. Hopefully she can make it.
……
……
"An An, you must be careful on the road. Don't talk to strangers. If someone harasses you, go to the conductor for help immediately."
"Make sure to pack your belongings properly. Oh, and put your train tickets away as well, okay?" Shen Yuanjia kept reminding them worriedly while holding the luggage.
Shen Yuanjia felt extremely regretful. He shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to suggest that he could ask his acquaintances on the railway to help look after An An.
These days, as An An's departure date draws closer, he becomes more and more worried.
An An is a little girl, and she is so pretty. Is it really possible for her to go out alone?
"Sixth brother, I really know. You've said it a hundred times." Shen Anan looked desperate. If she hadn't been holding something in her hands, she would have wanted to cover her ears with her hands.
In fact, since she left the house today, her sixth brother has been talking non-stop, muttering all the way, even more nagging than Wang Sufen.
"Don't take it lightly. Let me tell you..." Shen Yuanjia started the next round of output.
"Okay. I understand."
Shen Anan felt like Monkey King being nagged by Tang Monk, but she was not an ungrateful person. She knew that Shen Yuanjia was really worried about her, so she patiently agreed.
"Brother Yuanjia, I'm here!"
Suddenly a voice interrupted Shen Yuanjia's tight spell. Shen Anan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man and a woman in railway uniforms standing in front of her. The one who just spoke was the girl who was waving.
Xi Xiaoling waved and looked at Shen Anan who was approaching. She was indeed that man's sister and a great beauty.
"You must be An An! I always heard my dad praise you at home, and today I finally saw you in person."
"An An, are you tired of carrying things? Let me help you!" Xi Xiaoling said as she reached out to take the things in Shen An An's hand.
"No, no, it's not heavy. Thank you, Sister Xiaoling." Shen Anan quickly refused. Shen Yuanjia was asked to carry all the heavy things. What she was carrying was the food prepared by Wang Sufen for her, which was indeed not heavy.
"An An is so capable! When you come back, you must come and play with me. I have always wanted to get to know you!"
Shen Anan felt something was wrong. The girl in front of her was obviously not much older than her, but why was she looking at her with such loving eyes, just like the way Wang Sufen looked at her.
"Ahem, let's talk business." Shen Yuanjia coughed and winked at Xi Xiaoling, telling her not to be too obvious!
Ever since this girl met Lao Wu who came to the police station to look for him last time, she has been running to the police station every few days, and pestering him to introduce Shen Yuanhao to her.
This girl helped buy the tickets this time, but it wasn't just for his face!
Seeing Shen Anan's puzzled look, Xi Xiaoling quickly restrained her gaze and pointed to the person next to her and introduced, "Anan, this is Zhao Hao, the conductor of the train you're on. If you have anything to do when you get on the train, you can talk to him."
"Hello, Comrade Shen, I'm Zhao Hao." Zhao Hao's face flushed and he stared at Shen Anan without blinking.
When he first agreed to help Xi Xiaoling look after someone, he thought it was just a small favor and asked the conductor to take better care of the person after he got on the train.
But he didn't expect that he fell in love at first sight when they met!
"Hello, Comrade Zhao, thank you for your help along the way." Shen Anan nodded politely.
"No trouble, no trouble!" Zhao Hao's face became redder and redder, and he shyly avoided Shen Anan's gaze.
