The Journey to the Countryside (6)

Wang Gang thought for a moment after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words. Then, he smiled and said, "No wonder Old Zhang said that you're worthy of being the child of those two people. You have better perspective than many adults in such a small matter. Let's do as you say. I'll tell the captain when we reach the Victory Labor Team. Do you have anything else?"

When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Wang Gang's words, she remembered that she really had something else that she needed Wang Gang to do. Originally, she had planned to do it after familiarizing herself with the countryside. Now that someone was helping her, it couldn't be better. Moreover, Wang Gang's words carried much more weight than hers.

After organizing her thoughts, she said, "Uncle Wang, I want to find a house in the Victory Labor Team to live alone. If I live in Zhiqing, there will definitely be many problems. If everyone takes turns cooking and carrying water, I won't be able to do it. It's fine for a day or two, but no one will be willing in the long run. They will definitely think that I'm a burden to them.

If I live alone, I can use my things to exchange for firewood from the captain's house or give money to buy it. However, this method won't work if I live with them. In the end, it will only make things difficult for everyone."

When Wang Gang heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, he thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, but you have to be careful living alone. There are some things that I can't tell you tomorrow with so many people around."

When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Wang Gang's words, she immediately sat up straight and looked obedient.

After Wang Gang glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao, he said to Lu Xiaoxiao with a serious expression, "Listen carefully. Don't think that everyone in the village is simple and kind. If it's for benefits, anyone can be more scheming than the other. When you join the team, I'll get the captain to find a better house for you and buy it directly. Then, I'll get someone to build a high courtyard wall for you. You have to pay more attention to the other aspects. You can't trust anyone completely. No matter how well others treat you, you have to be careful."

"Especially since you're young, it's easier for others to bully you. If you need anything, look for the captain. I'll explain it to him. If he can't settle it, call me."

When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Wang Gang's words, her heart warmed. No matter if it was in her previous life or in this life, there were too few people who treated her well. No matter what the reason was, the person who could treat her like this on their first meeting was worthy of her same level of treatment and respect.

After dinner, Wang Gang sent her back to her place and said that he would travel to the countryside with her the next morning.

After Lu Xiaoxiao returned to her room, she took out a blanket from her space and laid it on the bed before entering her space to take a shower.

After taking a shower, she dried her hair and left the space. She lay in bed and thought about how she had been here for almost a month. She felt as if several years had passed. It was less than a month before the new year. She did not know what the countryside looked like during the new year… As she thought about it, she fell asleep.

The next day, Lu Xiaoxiao was woken up by a knock on the door. Lu Xiaoxiao heard the big sister knock on the door and say that she should get up quickly and pack her things as they were about to set off. Otherwise, they would not be able to reach the village that night.

When Lu Xiaoxiao heard her say this, she immediately got up and placed the blanket in her space. Then, she entered the space to wash up. She took the time to drink a glass of milk and eat a piece of bread before transporting out of the space. Fortunately, her luggage from the day before had not been opened. She could just take it and leave immediately.

When she arrived at the entrance of the hotel, she saw Wang Gang standing with the big sister and the others. When she walked towards them, Wang Gang handed her the bun in his hand and took the things from her.

Lu Xiaoxiao and the others took the shuttle from the city to the county. After swaying for two hours, they finally arrived at the county. After everyone got out of the car, they headed for the county's Zhiqing office.

When the big sister arrived at the county's Zhiqing office, she asked the staff members about the directions to Tianshui Village. After a while, she saw the people from the Zhiqing office bring three middle-aged men over and say to us, "These three people are from the Tianshui Village labor team, Team One, Team Two, and Team Three. They're in charge of picking you up. Just see which team to join and follow them."
