Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 275 New Year Greetings, Sisters Get Together

Lin Qingyan's house was very lively on New Year's Day.

Yu Zhengming and his wife, Ouyang Zhao and his wife, plus the later Tian Bochuan and his son, plus Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi, a total of 8 people, celebrated the New Year together in a lively manner.

At first, the neighbors had other ideas when they saw that there were only two little girls here, but after seeing so many people coming and going during the New Year,

There were even two cases where drivers drove them there, which relieved them of unnecessary worries and saved Lin Qingyan some trouble.

Yu Zhengming and Fang Yuzhen, a couple, did not return to their home that night, but stayed here to accompany the two girls.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family stayed quietly at home. The next day, Yu Zhengming and his wife took Lin Qingyan to visit their good friends.

They asked Ye Yi to go with them, but Ye Yi refused.

After visiting Ouyang Zhao's home to pay New Year's greetings, Lin Qingyan was taken by Ouyang Zhao and his wife to visit their friends.

Lin Qingyan was very busy throughout the New Year holidays. She followed several teachers and met many leaders from various industries.

These connections were of great help to her student life and career after graduation, and Lin Qingyan was so busy that she completely forgot that Gu Yizhou had not returned yet.

On the third day of the New Year, I received a telegram from Wang Lanlan, saying that she and Xu Jianshan had set off for Beijing.

Lin Qingyan calculated the arrival time based on the departure time on the telegram, and went to the train station with Ye Yi to pick someone up.

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi were both wearing the same flowered jacket as Wang Lanlan, the same hat on their heads, the same scarves around their necks, and the same pair of gloves.

Two pretty little girls standing in the busy train station are a beautiful sight, especially since they are wearing the same clothes.

After the train stopped, Wang Lanlan, who had just gotten off the train, saw Lin Qingyan and the other person. She immediately waved to them excitedly.

Xu Jianshan, who was also carrying a lot of bags behind him, ran towards Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi.

Wang Lanlan ran up to the two of them, threw the luggage in her hand to the ground, and walked forward to hug them both with one arm each.

"Qingyan, Yeyi, I finally see you."

"Wang Lanlan, you are finally here."

Ye Yi was also very excited. She had a lot of contact with Wang Lanlan in the past year, even more than Lin Qingyan. Lin Qingyan was often not seen, and she didn't want to explore Lin Qingyan's secrets, so she spent most of her time with Wang Lanlan.

The three girls were excited for a while before Xu Jianshan came over to them carrying more luggage.

"Comrade Lin, Comrade Ye."

Xu Jianshan also greeted them excitedly. When they were in Xishui Village, Xu Jianshan kept calling them Lin Zhiqing and Ye Zhiqing.

Now that the educated youth have been allowed to return to the city, and they have already been admitted to university, he can no longer call them educated youth.

Lin Qingyan felt a little awkward when hearing his address, so she smiled and said to Xu Jianshan:

"We are of similar age and have lived together for several years. We are all very good friends. From now on, we will call each other by our first names, Xu Jianshan. Do you think that's okay?"

"Lin Qingyan, it's OK."

Xu Jianshan agreed with a smile.

Lin Qingyan reached out to help him share some of the luggage, but Xu Jianshan dodged for a moment.

"You guys help Wang Lanlan get it, I can do it myself."

Actually, some of Xu Jianshan's luggage was Wang Lanlan's. He didn't have much luggage of his own. When Wang Lanlan went out,

The village chief's wife brought her a lot of things, but no one knew what they were. Xu Jianshan wanted to shake his arms. The thing in his hand belonged to Wang Lanlan and it was quite heavy.

"Let me take your luggage. Ye Yi has already helped Wang Lanlan with her luggage."

Lin Qingyan reached out and took the bag from Xu Jianshan.

Xu Jianshan hesitated for a moment, then thought of Lin Qingyan's strength, and gave the bag in his hand to Lin Qingyan.

The four of them were carrying large and small bags and followed the crowd to the outside of the train station. On the way, Wang Lanlan looked at the city of Beijing and couldn't help looking around out of curiosity.

The mouth kept saying:

"Jingshi is still the best. The girls in Jingshi look much more fashionable than those in the county town. Even the way they comb their hair is different. The braids they comb look very pretty."

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi followed her line of sight and looked over. It was just a ponytail, nothing special.

Then I heard Wang Lanlan say happily:

"Wow, that girl over there is wearing a headscarf on her pigtails. It looks quite fresh. But Qingyan, I don't think their hairbands are as pretty as the ones you brought, and their hairpins are not as pretty as ours."

There were a lot of people on the bus at this time. At first, a few old men and women heard the little girl from another place chattering, and they glanced at them proudly, thinking that they looked like country bumpkins.

As a result, these country bumpkins actually said that the girls in their capital didn’t have as pretty hairbands and hairpins as theirs. This was unbearable.

There were even two girls from Beijing who glared at them, and then they saw three of them wearing the same large flowered jackets.

Yes, it was just such a coincidence that Comrade Wang Lanlan also wore her big flowered jacket, but the scarf and hat were not the same style.

But the styles of their scarves and hats were something that even the girls in the capital had never seen before. They couldn’t help but wonder in their hearts, could they be new styles from the supply and marketing cooperatives?

No, they must get there before others and get to the supply and marketing cooperative first.

The others who were originally glaring at them could not help but look at their clothes with envy.

The broad-minded Wang Lanlan did not notice these and continued talking. Lin Qingyan sensed it keenly and it seemed that Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan could continue to earn pocket money.

When they got off the bus and walked into the alley, they suddenly remembered that Lin Qingyan said she had bought a house.

"Qingyan, the house you bought is in this alley?"

"Ok!"

"Is it far?"

"It's not far, just a few minutes' walk."

Lin Qingyan walked in front and led them home.

Wang Lanlan became quieter and quieter as she walked, until she saw Lin Qingyan take out a key, open a door and walk inside, then she subconsciously followed her in.

After arriving at the front yard and putting down her luggage, she carefully looked around the house with its blue bricks and black tiles, which exuded an ancient atmosphere.

"Qingyan, you said you bought a small house, is this it?"

"Yes!"

"Ah, you call this a small house?" Wang Lanlan shouted excitedly.

Even Xu Jianshan, who was following behind, felt a little restrained.

When Ye Yi saw their expressions, she finally couldn't help laughing and pulled Wang Lanlan to the backyard.

"Come on, Xu Jianshan, let's take a look together. You just saw the front yard, but there is also a backyard."

After Wang Lanlan and Xu Jianshan finished looking at the backyard, Xu Jianshan stopped talking completely, while Wang Lanlan's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Ye Yi, I also want to buy a house. I must earn money to buy a house like Qingyan's."

Lin Qingyan sat there and said to her with a smile:

"Then you have to work harder. Fang Yunxing said that the price of houses has doubled this year. If you want to buy a house, you'd better do it as soon as possible."

Xu Jianshan was also very excited when he heard this, and the seed of buying a house was planted in the hearts of several people.
