Although Ye Ling's words were brief, Zhao Guodong's mouth spread into a wide smile, his eyes narrowing into slits. Seeing this, Ye Ling felt a bit petty and averted her gaze without saying much more.
Zhang Linong smiled lightly at this scene, while Wang Ping seemed to breathe a deep sigh of relief. These two finally reconciled; otherwise, watching Dongzi sulk every day for the past half year made Wang Ping feel quite uncomfortable. If he got close to Ye Ling, Dongzi was upset; if he spoke ill of Ye Ling, Dongzi was also upset. Nothing seemed right, but now it was finally clear skies.
Before arriving at the train station, Ye Ling also went to the grain store and used the ration coupons she exchanged from Wan Li to buy thirty pounds of cornmeal and ten pounds of white flour. Zhang Linong exchanged a glance with the other two but said nothing more, simply helping Ye Ling up onto the berth. Ye Ling also breathed a sigh of relief.
