Chapter 218: The County Tour 1
The next day, Jiang Qingwan was preparing to go to the county town and asked her brother to live in the grandfather's place.
"Xiaowei, sister is going to the county town these days. You have to stay at grandpa's house obediently. I've already prepared some snacks you want to eat. I'll take them to grandpa's house together later."
Jiang Xiaowei stared at Jiang Qingwan's hand packing her luggage and nodded absent-mindedly.
For the first time, Jiang Xiaowei felt why he had not grown up yet. When he grew up, he didn't have to worry about his sister so much.
My sister will not leave herself alone in the village when she goes out.
"There are also the days when you can go to work with Brother Jiang Yuan or with the grandfather, but don't run around alone. If you have any trouble, look for the grandfather or the third grandfather, or the older brothers from the educated youth institute."
Jiang Qingwan did not stop her hand and packed all the clothes and food that her brother would wear in the next few days into a small cloth bag.
Suddenly I thought of the two puppies at home, "and Xiaowei also needs to take good care of grapes and chestnuts."
"Well, I understand. I won't worry my sister, and I will take good care of grapes and chestnuts, but I will come back early."
Jiang Xiaowei lowered his toes and spoke a little lightly. He didn't want his sister to leave, nor did he want his sister to feel that he was ignorant.
Jiang Xiaowei's actions and expression naturally did not escape Jiang Qingwan's eyes. She knew that Xiaowei must not want to leave for so long.
After all, she did not leave Xiaowei for more than a day after the separation.
Jiang Qingwan understood her brother's anxiety, put down her tidying bag, walked to her brother and rubbed his head, and said in a gentle tone: "As long as Xiaowei is good, my sister will come back early. If Xiaowei is good, my sister will bring a gift to Xiaowei."
When Jiang Xiaowei heard the gift, his eyes lit up, "Really?"
Jiang Qingwan's eyebrows and eyes were curved. She looked at her brother who had instantly cleared her sadness and suddenly felt a little funny. It was indeed a child, and she forgot everything she was unhappy when she heard the gift.
"Of course it's true. Does Xiaowei have any gifts he wants?"
Jiang Xiaowei was thinking seriously about what gift he wanted.
The food my sister cooks is delicious, snacks and candies, and he doesn’t want to eat snacks in the county.
Toys, he is not so interested in toys now, and there are some toys that his sister asked Uncle Qiangzi to make.
Little Man's Book, his room was already full of drawers of Little Man's Books.
After searching in his mind, he still didn't expect any gift he wanted.
So he said to his sister with some frustration: "I can't think of any gifts."
Jiang Qingwan looked at her younger brother's cute look just now frowning and racked her brains to think about gifts, and laughed out loud, "If Xiaowei couldn't imagine, then sister will take a look in the county town, and you will like any gifts."
"Okay! Just listen to my sister." Jiang Xiaowei nodded, but he would like it very much as long as it was a gift given by his sister.
Jiang Qingwan took her brother and her own things and took her brother and two puppies to the grandfather's house.
Jiang Laoqi came to find Jiang Qingwan and rushed to the door. There were no neighbors near Jiang Qingwan's yard, so he could only go back and wait in the evening before coming to find Jiang Qingwan.
When I was not thinking about going to work, I heard that Jiang Qingwan had already followed Jiang Shengbing to the county town.
This forced Jiang Laoqi to wait for Jiang Qingwan to come back from the county town before going to talk to her.
Jiang Qingwan took a letter from her third grandfather and an introduction letter with her cousin Jiang Shengbing to the station in the town and got on the ox cart to Yangshan County.
Fengxi Town is not too far from Yangshan County, about an hour and a half drive away.
In this era, Fengxi Town is not very developed and does not have the urban and rural buses that are later generations.
There are also buses, but basically in big cities with better conditions, ordinary people don’t have much chance to take buses.
If you want to go to the county or provincial capital, you can only take a ox cart.
Fortunately, Jiang Qingwan was prepared. After riding in the village's ox cart many times, she was already used to the bumps of the ox cart.
But the one and a half hours of driving time was a bit long after all. In order not to let her butt hurt, she specially brought two small mats stuffed with cotton to reduce the shock of the ox cart.
When he arrived at the station in Yangshan County, Jiang Qingwan got off the ox cart, rubbed her stiff neck and waist, and then looked at Yangshan County. He did not think that the second- and third-tier cities in later generations were full of tall buildings, and basically they were gray-white second- or third-storey flat buildings.
Jiang Shengbing was a little nervous when he got off the car, although this was his second time to come to the county town.
The last time I sent my elder brother to the army with his father and grandfather, but I think it's been a long time since I came here.
There is no one around you now, only a younger sister Jiang Qingwan, who is younger than him.
Before coming, my grandfather repeatedly told me to take good care of Jiang Qingwan.
Although he was a little nervous after coming to the county town, as Jiang Qingwan's brother, he needed to take responsibility and be responsible for this study trip to the county town.
"Daya, let's go to the Agriculture Bureau to find Deputy Director Fang, who was mentioned by grandpa." Jiang Shengbing looked at Jiang Qingwan, who looked calm next to her.
Seeing that Jiang Qingwan was calm and without any nervous look, she couldn't help but sigh. As expected, Da Ya's sister was different. She came to the strange Yangshan County and was not afraid at all.
On the contrary, he, the timid brother, is not as mature as Da Ya's sister.
"Brother Shengbing, let's go to the guesthouse near the Agriculture Bureau first, put our luggage in the guesthouse first, and then sort it out a little to go to the Agriculture Bureau."
Jiang Qingwan felt that they would inevitably have some dust on their bodies when they rode the ox cart.
Deputy Director Fang of the Agricultural Bureau is considered a leader at all, so it is better to have a little rectification before going to see him, as this can increase the favorability of the leader.
After all, they come to learn technology. What if the leader has a bad impression of them and does not teach technology well?
Jiang Shengbing slapped his head, "Daya, you are considerate, you are right, let's go to the guesthouse first. You wait first, I'll ask the people at the station, which direction is the Agricultural Bureau going."
Jiang Qingwan nodded. She just felt the nervousness of Shengbing Ge. It would be good to let Shengbing Ge experience more.
Jiang Shengbing ran to the place where he had just got off the car. The ox cart driver was still in the original place. Wait for the next wave of guests to carry them to Fengxi Town.
A few minutes later, Jiang Shengbing asked about the road from the ox cart driver. The Agricultural Bureau was not too far from the station. He could find a second-floor guesthouse after walking about 10 minutes.
After arriving at the guesthouse, Jiang Qingwan and Jiang Shengbing gave their letter of introduction to the guesthouse waiter.
