Chapter 495: Chapter 496 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 13_1

Shen Jianshe and his party arrived home, and after learning from the grandmother about Shen Yuan’s behavior, they were furious.

"I’ve never seen such an outrageous person."

"No matter how much you give them, they never remember the good."

"They don’t even know how to call out to people." Shen Jianshe said irritably as he paced around the house, "I’m going to talk to Shen Jiansheng about this tomorrow."

"Right, tell them we should reduce our interactions in the future." Lady Shen Li reflected on the situation and felt that Shen Yuan’s showing up wasn’t just about failing to announce her arrival.

"I think there’s more to Shen Yuan causing a scene than meets the eye."

"For example, if she’s going to the Northeast to be a ’sent-down youth,’ does she have cotton clothes to wear there or a thick cotton quilt?"

"And will Shen Jiansheng’s family prepare the necessities for her trip to the Northeast?"

"What about the food for the journey, will they prepare that?"

Lady Shen Li glanced at Shen Jianshe, who had lowered his head and was beginning to understand why it was insisted to sign up both children together, "I think this is why Shen Jiansheng sought you out."

"Xiao Jie is easy to talk to; when living together, it wouldn’t be impossible to share, right?"

Whenever Lady Shen Li thought of how this father-daughter pair seemed so easy to bully, her mood soured considerably.

The Shen Jiansheng family probably thought the same – having an elder at home meant thinking ahead, something Shen Jianshe hadn’t even considered until now.

Maybe it was because Lady Shen Li had been too protective, or because he had focused too much on his work, and had not thought much about these domestic issues.

Zhang Yamei immediately understood, "They are really crossing the line."

"Xiao Jie, if she comes to you, don’t let her fool you." The thought of going to the countryside with Shen Yuan, possibly having all the good stuff tricked away by her, made Zhang Yamei very upset.

"Mom, I know, I’m not an idiot."

"I won’t neglect myself just to help them out."

"Besides, I’ll be leaving in a couple of days." Now that the registration deadline had passed, it was clear that departure was imminent.

"Remember to go over there tomorrow and have a good talk with Shen Jiansheng." Even with her own child leaving in two days, it was still necessary to keep a close eye on her.

Shen Jianshe gave an affirmative grunt, while Zhang Yamei turned to discuss the matter at hand, "We can gather all the items by tomorrow morning, so come to my place with Feng Dan then."

Even though she could take everything home in the evening, packing still required time.

Shen Jie had been worried about whether they could procure everything needed, but seeing that all the items had been obtained filled her with joy, "Thank you, Mom."

Gathering everything in just one day was something only Zhang Yamei could manage.

"Thank what, right, go tell Feng Dan to bring Xiao Hui along." The conversation to follow was not suitable for the two children to hear.

Knowing they were being sent away, Shen Jie obediently stood up, pulling Shen Xiaohui with her to Feng’s house.

Feng Dan had been anxious at home today, uncertain if they could gather all the necessary items.

She wanted to go to the Shen family’s house but worried it would seem like she was hurrying them, thankfully relieved by the evening’s response.

"You got everything ready?" Feng Dan was thrilled, knowing today how many people had been rushing to the department store.

It was said that almost everything in the department store had been bought out, with some items not even available.

"Yes, but some items will arrive tomorrow morning. We’ll go and get them together then." After agreeing on a time with Feng Dan, Shen Jie prepared to leave.

The departure was imminent, and there were many things the family wanted to remind her of, not to mention packing.

"By the way, how should we handle the cotton quilts?" Feng Dan suddenly remembered something very important, the matter of the cotton quilts, even if they purchased cotton, it wouldn’t be enough.

"If one quilt isn’t enough, then bring two."

"That’s what I was planning, to bring two." There was cotton at home, but when they went to the place that fluffs up cotton quilts, they found it already fully booked.

Having no other choice, the Shen family decided to let Shen Jie take two thin cotton quilts with her, "We can mail them to us when the time comes."

It’s just a waste of parcel fees, but at least she won’t be cold in the winter. Although there would be a heated brick bed, it also depends on where you live.

The head of the bed would be warm, but the other end would be cold; not having something warm to cover up with wouldn’t work.

Thinking it over, "By the way, if possible, bring an empty brine bottle with you." In the winter, filling it with hot water can really make things a lot warmer.

"Okay." Feng Dan noted these things down, "I feel like I don’t know anything about the Northeast."

Up to now, I am completely in the dark, only aware that the Northeast is truly cold.

"I don’t know much either." Actually, she knew quite a bit, but she couldn’t say, otherwise, she really couldn’t explain.

"I just know it’s cold there in the winter, and there will be a hibernation period."

"They also sleep on heated brick beds, which get very warm when lit in the winter."

"As for anything more, I don’t know anything."

"But I think, certainly, there will be newcomers there, and we can ask them."

The original host was a youth sent to the countryside in the Northeast, with no experience of being sent to a farm. Although she occasionally corresponded with Feng Dan, their chats never went into too much detail.

All she knew was that after Feng Dan and the others initially went to the Northeast farm, it took quite a while for them to adjust.

This life, with one more person—her, it was unknown whether they would be able to adapt more quickly.

"Right, we can ask the youth sent down there." Feng Dan actually didn’t know what kind of relationship they would have with those older educated youths.

"It doesn’t matter, though, Xiao Jie, I am really happy we can be together."

Although unaware of what the future holds and what challenges they will face, Feng Dan knew, as long as Shen Jie was by her side, no matter how many difficulties, they would definitely make it through.

"Yes, I’m also very happy, we were classmates before, and now we’re comrades in the same trench."

Perhaps after the restoration of the college entrance exam, they could become classmates again. In her previous life, Feng Dan got into a good university after the exam was reinstated.

It’s just unknown whether, in this life, Feng Dan would be able to get into the same university.

After Mother Feng finished her chores, she also had a chat with Shen Jie, "Xiao Jie, after you two get there, you must look after each other."

Knowing that the two children had been assigned to the farm, Mother Feng let out a long sigh of relief. No matter what, it was at least better than being assigned to the countryside.

But even being assigned to the farm, one couldn’t be careless. She knew that bad people were everywhere, waiting for an unguarded moment to reveal their sharp teeth.

"Auntie, don’t worry, we’ll be careful."

"We are still planning to go back to the city." Neither the Feng’s house nor the Shen family, even though they had both sons and daughters, and valued their sons a bit more, never completely neglected their daughters.

"Right right, we can’t settle down and marry someone local." Many thought that returning to the city was hopeless and considered finding someone to rely on locally.

They did not consider that, once they married and had children there, even if they had the opportunity to return to the city for work, they might reluctantly have to give up.

"Not us." Feng Dan was very sure. Without the person she longed for in her heart, she wouldn’t marry locally.
