Chapter 271 Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi leave Chen Shuning to see them off

Time flies and it’s August soon.

In the early morning, walking in the warm sunshine, the chirping of crickets can be heard in my ears, and crystal dewdrops hang on the grass leaves.

Chen Shuning pushed the bicycle and walked towards the town with Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi.

"Wang Na, Lanzhi, that's great! We're both going to Beijing to study, so we can see each other often in the future."

Wang Na touched her shoulder bag, where her admission letter was placed. A smile spread across her face, and she said happily, "Shuning, I never dreamed that we could go to Beijing to study together."

"Yesterday I went to the county and ran into Teacher Li, who had given us extra lessons." Ma Lanzhi said with a smile, "Teacher Ma said that our scores were the highest among the students who had received extra lessons."

Wang Na echoed, "Xu Qingshan's test scores weren't as good as ours. Lanzhi and I thought about it for a long time, and it's all thanks to you helping us highlight the key points. Otherwise, with my level, how could I possibly have scored over 400?"

"Well, that's not the case. Even if I highlighted the key points for you, you wouldn't have scored so high if you didn't study hard." Chen Shuning explained, "Besides, Xu Qingshan took the science exam, so the questions are different. How many days has Xu Qingshan been gone?"

Ma Lanzhi nodded and replied, "Yes, he's been gone for three days."

Wang Na curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "He had already packed his things. As soon as he got the notice, he immediately went to the village chief to get a certificate, and left early the next morning.

"Shunning, didn't you see how arrogant he was? To be frank, even you, the provincial champion, are not as proud as him."

Chen Shuning walked in the sunshine and said calmly, "Anyway, we won't have any intersection in the future, so let him be!"

"Tsk tsk... it's different when you're from a well-off family." Ma Lanzhi sighed, "Xu Qingshan is really arrogant. There's no revolutionary committee now, otherwise, he would be labeled a capitalist."

Wang Na bent down and brushed the dust off her trouser legs. She sneered, "What's wrong with his family being well-off? Everyone is equal. How can he be so noble?"

Chen Shuning advised, "Wang Na, don't be angry. Whether he's well off or not has nothing to do with us. We don't rely on him for a living."

Besides, no matter how good his family conditions are, Xu Qingshan didn't get them by hard work. He can rely on his parents now, but what about in the future?

Chen Shuning wiped the sweat off his face and said with a smile, "Relying on others is not a long-term solution. Living a good life on your own is what real ability is!"

Turning the corner, the three of them entered Dahe Town, chatting and laughing. They had left early, so Zhou Dajiang's grocery store was the only one open on the street.

Through the door curtain, Chen Shuning seemed to see a familiar figure.

Chen Shuning called Ma Lanzhi and said, "Lanzhi, push the bike. I'm going to talk to my cousin."

"Well, hurry up then! Once we both get on the bus, no one will be watching the bikes."

"Ah."

Chen Shuyi wiped the counter clean, straightened up, and wiped the sweat off his face. The door curtain rustled, and Chen Shuning walked in.

"Sister, you're here early!"

Chen Shuyi put down the rag and said with a smile, "Dajiang pays me a good salary, so I have to work harder. Shuning, what are you doing here so early?"

"Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi are going home, so I came to see them off." Chen Shuning explained, "Sister, do you have anything to eat for the journey?"

"Oh..." Chen Shuyi turned around and glanced at the shelves, saying, "Dajiang bought some canned fruit yesterday, 5 cents a bottle."

Chen Shuyi picked up the cans and put them on the counter. He then took out a few cans of fish from the box at the door and said with a smile, "Canned fish is 7 cents. Let me see..."

"Shuning, I don't have much here." Chen Shuyi fanned the air and continued, "It's too hot, and snacks and other things won't keep well, so Dajiang bought some canned food. It's ten cents cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative, and it sells well."

Chen Shuning took out a handful of change, counted out 2 yuan and handed it over: "Sister, I want two bottles as well. Wang Na and Lan Zhi helped me a lot, I can't let them go empty-handed."

Chen Shuyi quickly packed the cans and handed them to Chen Shuning, saying, "We should thank them properly. My mom said your family is making hairpins, and my aunt asked my mom to go over and help!"

Chen Shuning nodded and said, "Yes, my mother does call me Auntie. This thing is paid by the piece, and the more you work, the more you earn. Now I don't have to go to the fields every day, and when I have free time, I'll be able to add some income to the family."

With the help of Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi, the Chen family's small workshop has officially started operations. Zhou Dajiang took the first batch of goods to the market, and they were quickly sold out. After returning, Zhou Dajiang told Chen Shuning to increase production as soon as possible.

Chen Shuning took the can and walked out: "Sister, the car is almost here, I have to leave quickly."

"Slow down!"

Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi put their luggage away, got off the bus, and stood on tiptoe to look around. Seeing Chen Shuning running in the distance, Wang Na waved her arms: "Shuning, hurry up! The bus is leaving soon."

Chen Shuning quickened his pace, ran to the bus in one go, and stuffed the can in his arms into Wang Na's arms.

"You have a long train ride, so I bought some canned food for you to eat on the way."

Wang Na took the can generously and said with a smile, "Shuning, this can is quite expensive. I'm sorry to have cost you so much! But I won't be polite to you this time. Hehe..."

Ma Lanzhi smiled and stuffed the buns into Chen Shuning's hands: "I just bought these buns, eat them while they're hot!"

Chen Shuning didn't refuse and took a bite. The rich aroma of meat lingered in his nose, and the scalding hot broth made Chen Shuning gasp for air.

"Eat slowly, Shuning." Wang Na said with a smile, "Our school starts in September, a few days later than yours. Shuning, how can I contact you then?"

Chen Shuning thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you an address. When you arrive in Beijing, you can write to me. Then I'll be able to come find you."

"Shuning, you're not going to give us Comrade Guo Junshan's address, are you?" Wang Na looked at Chen Shuning with disapproval and continued, "That won't do."

"We want to be your lifelong friends. It's not appropriate to contact Comrade Guo Junshan."

Chen Shuning smiled brightly. Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi were very sensible and did not drag Guo Junshan into it just because of their close relationship.

"My mom wrote to me saying that the sister next door was poached by her best friend." Ma Lanzhi frowned and said, "We don't want to have any contact with Guo Junshan, lest it affect our friendship."

Chen Shuning smiled and said, "My grandfather's comrades are in Beijing. I'll leave you Grandpa Wang's address. You can address the recipient as Grandpa Wang."

Ma Lanzhi nodded, took out a pen and paper from her bag, and asked, "Go ahead!"

"Wang Simin, East District, Beijing..."

"Who?" Ma Lanzhi tilted her ears and narrowed her eyes, unable to believe what she heard.

Wang Na's eyes widened as she hurried over and asked excitedly, "Wang Simin? He was your grandfather's comrade-in-arms?"
