Chapter 101 Arrival
The journey back was smooth and without any setbacks.

For the past three days, whether eating or sleeping, she had been on the train, and Su Nuannuan felt somewhat numb.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. These days, sleeper berths on trains are generally reserved for administrative staff who need to travel on business. For ordinary travelers like them, having a hard seat is already considered a very good privilege.

Zhuang Wen was also feeling unwell, just like Su Nuannuan. Zhuang Wen was clearly a frail scholar, even weaker than Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan only felt a little uncomfortable after sitting for three days. Zhuang Wen, however, turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat—clear symptoms of congenital weakness.

Su Nuannuan couldn't bear it, so she took out a porcelain jar containing wild ginseng from her space, opened it, and gave Zhuang Wen a small piece of wild ginseng to put in his mouth.

"These are wild ginseng slices, which can replenish vital energy. If you hold them in your mouth, you won't feel uncomfortable."

If it weren't for the fact that Zhuang Wen had taken good care of her over the past three days, Su Nuannuan wouldn't have been willing to give him the wild ginseng slices.

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Zhuang Wen took the food without any hesitation and put it in his mouth. Before putting it in, he thanked Su Nuannuan.

"Thank you, Comrade Su."

Seeing the other party's decisive action, Su Nuannuan twitched her lips.

It's really remarkable that this guy has survived until now.

In Su Nuannuan's view, Zhuang Wen truly had no experience of the harsh realities of society and harbored immense curiosity and goodwill towards the people and things around him. He must have been well protected by his family before.

The wild ginseng worked very well. Before long, Zhuang Wen's complexion improved, his face became rosy, and he stopped sweating profusely.

Zhuang Wen could clearly feel his weak body gradually regain its vitality. His eyes brightened, and he spoke to Su Nuannuan in a slurred manner.

"Comrade Su, I'm all better!"

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan nodded with a smile.

She had expected this. Wild ginseng soaked in the spiritual spring water was more than capable of restoring the vitality of a weakened person. Therefore, Su Nuannuan didn't show too much surprise.

Although both were from Heilongjiang Province, they lived in different cities. Su Nuannuan got off the train before Zhuang Wen, left him two slices of wild ginseng, and then disembarked.

Before leaving, Zhuang Wen gave all the food he was carrying to Su Nuannuan. Despite his gentle nature, Zhuang Wen was quite insistent on this matter, and to prevent Su Nuannuan from refusing, he directly saw her off the train and gave her all the food he was carrying.

Su Nuannuan, carrying a huge pile of food, was both amused and exasperated.

Zhuang Wen returned to his seat and waved to Su Nuannuan. A short while later, the train started moving, and Zhuang Wen quickly disappeared from Su Nuannuan's sight.

Su Nuannuan looked at the food in her arms and smiled helplessly. This was her reward for doing a good deed.

The train station was some distance from Su Nuannuan's home. She hadn't contacted her family to pick her up before returning. Therefore, she had to carry all her things by herself on the way back.

Fortunately, when she was packing, she put the heavier items into her spatial storage. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to get home.

After walking for about half an hour, Su Nuannuan finally arrived at the edge of the county town.

This area borders the rural area and the county seat, and villagers usually pass through here to enter the county seat. Therefore, although it is on the edge of the county seat, it is quite lively.

Su Nuannuan was a little tired, so she found a big rock at the intersection and planned to rest for a while.

However, as soon as she sat down, a person appeared in front of her.

She carried a basket on her back, brought her face close to Su Nuannuan, and said.

"You are...you are Su Nuannuan from the brigade leader's family?"

Judging from the voices of the newcomers, they were clearly from Hongqi Village.

Su Nuannuan looked up and saw someone standing very close to her.

Su Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, then leaned back before recognizing the person.

"You're Auntie Niu!"

"hold head high!"

Aunt Niu was very excited when she saw that Su Nuannuan recognized her.

"Nuan Nuan, didn't you go to university? Why are you back?" After saying that, Aunt Niu looked Su Nuan Nuan up and down suspiciously.

Su Nuannuan felt that if she didn't say something soon, some outrageous rumors centered around her would definitely spread in the village tomorrow.

So Su Nuannuan quickly answered.

"It's because the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are here, and the school is on holiday, so I came back."

"Oh, I see."

Despite saying that, Aunt Niu's disappointed expression, as if she had lost some important information, made Su Nuannuan's face darken.

Seeing that Su Nuannuan's expression was not good, Aunt Niu knew when to stop.

She was very happy that Su Nuannuan could come back for the holiday.

Aunt Niu warmly took Su Nuannuan's hand and said.

"Come on, come on, Liu the Cripple is here today, we'll ride home in his car later."

Liu the Cripple was an old man who drove an oxcart in Hongqi Village. He had a limp and happened to own an ox. He would travel between the village and the county town to earn some money for travel expenses.

Hearing Aunt Niu's words, Su Nuannuan got up with the help of her hand. Perfect timing, she didn't want to walk anymore.

When Su Nuannuan and Aunt Niu arrived at the place where the oxcart was placed, they saw many women from Hongqi Village.

They saw Aunt Niu holding the hand of a pretty young girl and wondered who she was. When Su Nuannuan got closer, some of them recognized her.

"It's Su Nuannuan!"

His words immediately drew everyone's attention.

Who is Su Nuannuan?
Su Nuannuan is the first golden phoenix to fly out of Hongqi Village! Since Su Nuannuan was admitted to university and left the village, the Su family's conditions have visibly improved.

Although they didn't see exactly how much grain the Su family had stored, the rosy complexions on the faces of the three Su brothers were undeniable.

They weren't envious of the Su family's good life, since a golden phoenix had flown out of the Su family.

Furthermore, the brigade leader's family had already stopped allowing the three Su brothers to work in the fields and instead encouraged them to take the college entrance exam. This shows that getting into university could indeed improve the family's financial situation.

However, while the villagers outwardly flattered the brigade leader, they were actually all laughing at him behind his back.

Is it so easy to get into university? If the three Su brothers could get into university, they would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?

However, they didn't know that Su Erqiang and Su Sanquan might not have the ability. But Su Daliang certainly did, only his abilities had been delayed before.

When Su Nuannuan arrived, she received a warm welcome. Everyone surrounded her, asking her about her university life.

Ever since Su Jianjun told the people of Hongqi Village about the benefits of going to university, many were eager to try. However, they also clearly understood that university admission was not easy. Therefore, many hesitated about whether to let their children study and take the university entrance exam.

"Nuan Nuan, do you really receive a 20 yuan subsidy every month in college?"

"Nuan Nuan, is it true that you can be assigned a job after graduating from university?"

"Nuan Nuan, is Beijing more lively than our county town?"

……

Su Nuannuan had no time to answer any of the various questions.

It was Liu the Cripple, who was rushing to catch the carriage, who appeared and pulled Su Nuannuan out of the crowd.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? The child has finally come home for a visit, let her go home and rest quickly."

Although Liu the Cripple had a limp, he had three married children. The children were very filial and lived comfortably in the village. Furthermore, as an elder in the village, many people respected him.

Therefore, after Liu the Cripple spoke up, no one bothered Su Nuannuan anymore.
