Chapter 021: Departure

This banquet was to celebrate the title of Zhang Jiabao and Shangguan Naiya's gold list, and Zhang Chuanliang, as Zhang Jiabao's uncle, naturally also attended, and left the venue after only drinking two glasses of wine. secretly used the mother Gu to summon Shangguan Naiya, and I don't know what to say to her.

When the second day of the sixth month arrived, Cao Xiaoxiao and Qi Luomin prepared two big bags full of food for the two children, with food, use, a change of clothes, and some money.

"Girl, you're old. It's a long way to go, take care of Xiaobao. Zilomin kindly instructed. Shangguan Naiya nodded. Cao Xiaoxiao sorted out Zhang Jiabao's appearance, looked here, patted there, stared at his son's mature face, but cried.

"Mother, what are you crying about, don't you go to Fuzhou now, you have to go in mid-August. Zhang Jiabao muttered.

"My son has never been far away, and my mother is worried about you. Cao Xiaoxiao wiped a handful of tears, and her makeup was spent. Wrinkles crept up at the corners of the eyes at some point.

"Didn't my father take me to Beijing last year, which was farther than this trip? ”

"Yes, our son has grown up and can take care of himself. Zhang Chuanzheng comforted Cao Xiaoxiao, put his warm hand on Zhang Jiabao's shoulder, and said, "Son, don't worry, go and see the outside world." Since then, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for birds to fly. ”

Seeing his father's approving, gratifying, and expectant eyes, Zhang Jiabao's nasal cavity was sour, and he hurriedly said "um", turned around and left. This old man is old, and he has become a mother-in-law when he speaks, and he is only in his forties, and gray hair begins to burst out on his head. I really miss how I bullied him back then, smiling and not being anxious or annoyed, as if nothing could crush him. Days, you go slowly.

Yu Bo has been sick due to the heat in the past few days, and a young horseman sent them to the school, and along the way, Zhang Jiabao and Shangguan Naiya had their own concerns and were silent.

Before entering the school gate, the eight big characters of "Guang'an Junior Magic School" came into view from afar. At the beginning of the year, it was novelty and awe, but now it is cordial and reluctant. These eight characters represent a period of years from ignorance to youth.

There are six large magic cars that can seat 30 people parked in the central square of the school, which are specially leased by the school from a foreign-funded institution, and it is said that a car with a driver can be rented for 30 silver dollars a day. There are also 10 horse-drawn carriages, which are borrowed free of charge by the parents of the students, for carrying baggage and carrying a small number of students.

When the sun was about to reach overhead, the graduates gathered in the square and made a noise, causing the junior students in the teaching building who were reviewing and preparing for the annual exam to poke their heads out of the window. There are special instructors who are responsible for collecting the registration fee, which is 50 silver dollars (i.e. 5 gold dollars) per person. The trip will go north from Qingping Prefecture, pass through Yingzhou to Longxin Lake on the border of Xichuan Prefecture, and then follow a manlong river in Longxin Lake to reach the Mingsin Abyss. The whole journey is more than 1,000 kilometers, and it takes 10-15 days to go back and forth. Accommodation and other expenses on the way will be paid by the school.

After lunch in the cafeteria, the excited graduates, urged by the instructor to put their luggage on the carriage, bringing only some belongings and snacks on the magic car, one for each class. Due to the lack of space, some students are arranged to ride in a horse-drawn carriage, and it is also beneficial to take a horse-drawn carriage to get together with three or five friends.

Shangguan Naiya didn't like too many people, and took the initiative to ask to take the carriage. Zhang Jiabao didn't want to be bored with her, so he and Chen Caican sat on the magic car.

As soon as he sat down in the position, Zhang Jiabao felt something on his neck, and it was a piece of paper when he touched it. After reading it, his face was flushed with shame, and he looked up to find the owner of this piece of paper. The round-faced girl was sitting in the place opposite him, nervously looking down with her fingers, occasionally sneaking her eyes at him.

Chen Caican, who was next to him, wanted to ask Zhang Jiabao to eat melon seeds together, but when he looked weird, he snatched the piece of paper away, and read aloud with his eyes protruding: "Brother Bao, in fact, I have liked you for a long time......" Zhang Jiabao wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, but there was no one in the car, and he was anxious to snatch the paper back.

Chen Caican blocked the short-handed Zhang Jiabao with one hand, raised the piece of paper and read word by word: "You are very good, and I am mediocre in my studies and not very good-looking, so I have always buried my love for you in the bottom of my heart." But if you miss this opportunity, you will have to take your Yangguan Avenue, and I will also step on my single-plank bridge, I don't know if there will be a time to meet again in this life. So I decided to speak out boldly or I would regret it for the rest of my life. Brother Bao, no matter what your answer is, I love you. He Xiaoping respectfully. ”

"Hahahaha......" The boys in the car heard such explicit love words, covered their stomachs and smiled. Several girls also pursed their lips and smiled, this He Xiaoping is really bold enough.

"Chen Caican, who asked you to snatch Brother Bao's piece of paper!" He Xiaoping, who had a round face, stood up and glared angrily.

"I'm sorry, I'm so curious. Chen Caican apologized insincerely, and when he heard He Xiaoping call out "Brother Bao" in person, he laughed and burst into tears.

"Quiet and quiet, roll call. Yang Guang, the deputy head of the school, got on the bus to take the roll call, he was the leader and person in charge of this long trip. After confirming that the number of people is correct, the car starts and slowly drives out of the school gate.

"Bao, I'll change seats with He Xiaoping, right?" Chen Caican looked at Zhang Jiabao with a smile.

"Cut, I think you want to hook up with Fang Xing next to her. Zhang Jiabao scolded him. Turning her head to look at He Xiaoping, she was talking to Fang Xing, as if she didn't care about the situation here.

"The sage said: A gentleman has the beauty of an adult. Alright, Po, buddy is also thinking about your happiness. Chen Caican got up anxiously and changed seats with He Xiaoping. Fang Xing has become more and more beautiful in the past two years, why doesn't he use this excuse to be neighbors with beauties? On the contrary, He Xiaoping is fat, and Zhang Jiabao is favored by her, I don't know if it is good luck or bad luck.

"Slug, I don't want to sit with you!" Fang Xing was very resistant to Chen Caican, he had been sloppy since he was a child, and he had a title called slug. He Xiaoping was heavy on color and light on friends, but he was very happy to change seats with Chen Caican.

"The car is bumpy, don't walk around, the school is not responsible if you fall. Yang Guang, who was sitting in front, turned around and said.

"Knowing Yang Zhangxue, that's good. Chen Caican responded, and finally calmed the puffy Fang Xing.

Fang Xing's seat was by the window, only staring out the window and unwilling to talk to Chen Caican. Zhang Jiabao's position was also by the window, and he didn't know what to say because of embarrassment, so he had to look at the scenery outside the window and put He Xiaoping cold.

The hot summer breeze blowing in was very comfortable, but the scorching sun made his cheeks hot, and it didn't take long for Zhang Jiabao to sweat. He Xiaoping thoughtfully closed the curtains, leaving only a crack in the glass window for the wind to blow in. When she bent over Zhang Jiabao's knees to get the curtains, Zhang Jiabao was nervous and inexplicably excited. He Xiaoping is one year older than himself, and he is much taller, almost 1.6 meters. And I am ...... 1.3 meters, how can there be a feeling of pain?
