Chapter 115 Once a land of cultural relics, now a land of plenty.
Aha, haha, hahaha!
Qiao Manman saw the words "full of complaints but no words" on Luo Xiuhe's face!
"Well, I wish you success!"
Qiao Manman nodded, her shoulders shaking as she tried to suppress her laughter.
Luo Xiuhe led the way, muttering to herself, and even offered a lot of advice based on her own experience.
Qiao Manman listened and thought it made a lot of sense.
Before long, the two dug up osmanthus trees, walnut trees, pear trees, as well as raspberry, bayberry, and citrus trees.
Regardless of whether there were any outside of Hangzhou, Luo Xiuhe dug up seedlings for Qiao Manman, supporting her wishful thinking with practical actions.
Qiao Manman felt warm inside, and during her lunch break, she took out some meat buns to share with the other person.
The two sat under a tall tree, looking at the mountain stream not far away, and felt a cool breeze.
"Comrade Xiao Qiao, where are you from?"
"From Shaanxi Province!" Qiao Manman said, referring to the address on her forged letter of introduction.
"What kind of life do they have over there? Is it as good as it is in Hangzhou?"
"That place has a rich historical atmosphere; it was the capital of many dynasties. The climate there is relatively dry; summers are not so hot, but winters are windy and dusty."
"It seems we're doing pretty well here."
"Yes, it used to be a land of cultural relics, now it's a land of fish and rice, and in the future it will be a paradise on earth!"
Luo Xiuhe was delighted by the compliment: "Really? It's so nice here!"
"Of course! It's only because we're not allowed to wander around now that we can, otherwise brothers and sisters from all over the country would want to settle here!"
Of course, she's an exception. Summers here are hot and winters are cold; she can't stand it.
She still prefers the cool nights in the north and the warm kang (heated brick bed) in winter.
The two chatted for a while longer before continuing their journey into the mountains. They didn't stop exploring until 3:30 p.m. and began their descent.
The searching and digging up the mountain took up a lot of time. With a clear goal in mind, we quickly reached the foot of the mountain on the way down.
However, the sun is setting in the west, and it will probably get dark soon.
Luo Xiuhe went home and packed some pre-Qingming Longjing tea for Qiao Manman, and then took her to the pond to pick some water shield seedlings.
Looking at the full basket of haul, Qiao Manman took out five yuan from her canvas bag: "Auntie, thank you!"
Luo Xiuhe was taken aback by Qiao Manman's generosity and said, "You, this, you don't need five yuan. Just give me a dollar and eighty cents!"
"Consider the extra money as payment for this basket!" Qiao Manman waved with a smile, slung the basket over her shoulder, and walked towards the last rays of the setting sun.
Luo Xiuhe's eyes were a little sore, and she kept muttering, "How can I not want her to leave after only knowing her for a day!"
Watching Qiao Manman walk away until only her blurry figure remained, she hurriedly shouted at the top of her lungs, "Little girl, come play again next time, and Auntie will treat you to a meal!"
Qiao Manman didn't turn around, but raised her right hand and waved. She stepped into the night.
After walking several kilometers, it became completely dark.
Qiao Manman saw a bush by the roadside, amplified the surrounding signal, confirmed that there was no one within a five-mile radius, and then slipped into her spatial dimension.
I plopped down on the recliner and rested while drinking juice.
I've been busy all day, and I'm quite tired.
When I took off my shoes, wow, my fingernails were all black.
Qiao Manman shook her head and poured water to soak her feet.
After resting enough, I made a delicious bowl of noodles with the mutated wheat, then went to the field and planted the seedlings I had dug up in every nook and cranny.
However, the empty space was too small; she didn't finish planting before there was no more room.
Qiao Manman sighed and continued to swing her sickle to harvest the wheat.
After working hard all night, some space was freed up.
Qiao Manman planted the saplings, watered them, and then left the space.
"The stars twinkle, the moon draws a question mark..."
Qiao Manman hummed a little tune as she walked towards West Lake, and just then she saw the mist rising from the water at sunrise.
Qiao Manman slowed her pace, savoring the tranquility of the moment. She felt she had come all the way to Hangzhou and would never want to leave.
After laughing and walking around the lake for more than half an hour, Qiao Manman decided to leave and go shopping at the department store.
Two jin of the highest grade West Lake Longjing tea, please. Five bolts of premium silk, please!
Qiao Manman wasn't flustered when she saw everyone staring at her. After all, she was disguised, so nobody recognized her!
"Oh, and those silk scarves, give me ten of them."
What else? Ding Sheng Gao (a type of sweet rice cake), right? It's a good omen, give me twenty packs!
"Comrade, you're asking for way too much!"
Qiao Manman asked, "Is there a purchase limit? Then give me the largest possible amount!"
The sales clerk smiled and shook her head: "No, it's just that I think you're buying too much, and it would be a waste if you couldn't use it all!"
Seeing her good attitude, Qiao Manman explained, "There are many people in my family, so they cherish these things. Don't worry, they won't go to waste!"
"It's difficult for me to carry all this by myself. Could you please help me deliver it?"
The sales clerk smiled and said, "Sure, where would you like us to deliver this to?"
Qiao Manman gave an address casually.
The sales clerk looked at her in surprise: "Are you sure, sir? That place is a bit out of the way!"
Qiao Manman nodded: "My family is waiting for me over there!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the silk wrapped up on the counter.
The sales clerk understood and called someone over to move the goods.
Two large men came up from the first floor, carried her belongings out, and put them on a cart.
Then, without saying a word, she pulled her things and walked towards the place she had mentioned.
Qiao Manman kept a close eye on the two of them and their surroundings, fearing that they might have bad intentions.
The two were quite upright; they put their belongings in the designated spot and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Qiao Manman took out two yuan: "Thank you both for your hard work!"
The man hesitated for two seconds before accepting the money.
He hesitated for a moment, then reminded Qiao Manman, "Girl, your behavior just now was too conspicuous. You might have already been targeted! You have to be careful in this desolate place!"
Qiao Manman nodded: "Thank you for the reminder. My family is nearby, so those thugs probably won't dare to do anything!"
Seeing this, the man didn't linger any longer and pushed the cart away.
Seeing the two walk away, Qiao Manman amplified the surrounding signals. She scoffed, "They really know how to keep their cool!"
He followed her all the way without getting tired, and only after the deliveryman left did he exchange a glance with her and "pounce" on her.
Unfortunately, it's a bit far from her, maybe five or six hundred meters away.
Qiao Manman deliberately chose a blind spot where no one was around, and entered the space with her belongings: "Bye-bye!"
He sat down in the recliner, looking quite content, and asked, "Master, can you amplify the outside audio signal?"
"Host, the system will continue to monitor the external situation for you!"
As he spoke, he amplified the audio signal.
Qiao Manman clearly heard the man's footsteps approaching from afar, finally stopping right next to her ear.
"Where's that little wench? Did she run away?"
"There's so much stuff, even if she ran, she couldn't take it all with her! Hey, this is weird!"
"Hurry up and look for him! Stop talking so much nonsense, he might be hiding somewhere!"
Qiao Manman nodded. She answered correctly, but there was no prize!
There was no rush to go out; I took some ingredients to make lunch.
Thinking that it's good that people can enter the space, look, it helped her avoid disaster!
