Chapter 55-“Shanghai’s Spring Tears: A Woman’s Absence in the Haze of Wine and Wanderlust”
After the New Year, the streets of Shanghai were once again flourished, and the city’s huge machine began to operate again. Groups of workers flocked to Shanghai. They needed knowledge to arm themselves and change themselves. In rural areas without knowledge, it was like a pool of dead water. The usual traveling cost from Rhoka Town to Shanghai was ¥50, which increased by ¥200 during the Spring Festival. If there was rain and snow, it would rise to ¥300.
The train arrived at Shanghai in the middle of the night, and the train slowly entered the station. The train began to move, and the interior of the train was in a mess. The train skidded across the snow, and Xiao Xiaoxiao’s heart swam forward with every movement.
The night in Shanghai wasn’t as bustling as it used to be. Instead, it was mysterious and the air was extremely wet. Xiao Xiaoxiao carried his bag and walked out of the station. The magnificent Shanghai station made him look up. He only had a few clothes in his bag, and he also had his tuition fees and living expenses for the past six months. There was a total of 2,500 yuan, and 2,000 yuan was borrowed from Xiao Changhe.This was all he had this year. He would never have the chance to go home again. The cab fare was enough for him to live for several months. In order to complete his studies, he had to save every cent.
