Chapter 23 Informs of Preparations for Going to the Countryside

Bai Nuo waved goodbye to the saleswoman at the state-run restaurant with a smile, then walked briskly toward the supply and marketing cooperative. As she passed through an empty alley, she quickly put the buns in her hand into her spatial storage, afraid that they would get cold and the taste would change if she waited any longer.

After entering the supply and marketing cooperative, I took a walk around and bought a pound of mung bean cake and a pound of peach shortbread. These two items can be eaten by children, the elderly, and adults. I also bought half a pound of milk candy and two bottles of concentrated fresh orange juice.

These are just ordinary gifts for visiting relatives in Shanghai, nothing valuable, but they are quite appropriate as a thank-you gift for the police officers.

After buying all that, he glanced at his watch; it was almost 7:30. He figured Deputy Director Xiang should have already gone to work by then, so he headed towards the local police station.

The watch she wore today was the same one that Ma Xiaomei had snatched away before. Bai Nuo originally didn't want it anymore, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was the first watch her grandmother had given her, which cost a lot of money and included a watch voucher. This was even more valuable than money, so she forced the system to use its technological methods to disinfect and refurbish it before she could wear it again.

I must say, the system technology is amazing, it's like new.

Bai Nuo had just arrived at the police station with her things when she saw Deputy Chief Xiang and her niece, Xiang Shangchong, walking in one after the other. Bai Nuo quickly sprinted over on her short legs.

"Uncle Xiang, Sister A-Chong."

"Nono, what brings you here? Are you feeling better? Remember to change your dressing tomorrow." The policewoman turned around and saw Bai Nuo. Her serious and aloof face immediately softened into a gentle smile.

"Okay, don't worry, sister. I have some medicine at home. I can change it myself at home. I'm much better now." Bai Nuo stood obediently in front of the two of them, then quickly placed the things in her hands on the table behind them, took two quick steps back, and bowed.

"Thank you, Uncle and Sister, for saving my life and paying my medical bills. Not only that, but you also helped me get justice. I will never forget your kindness."

"Oh dear, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Xiang Qianjin hurriedly had his niece help the little girl up, his heart warming with gratitude.

They became police officers not for anyone's thanks, but out of love and responsibility for the profession. But when faced with such a warm and grateful young girl, their hearts are warmed, and they feel that their efforts have not been in vain.

“Take these back with you. You’re still young and injured, so you need to take good care of yourself. Your uncle and sister have everything you need. From now on, you’ll be living on your own, so take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just come to your sister, Ah Chong. Didn’t I tell you your home address before? Going there will be the same thing. Don’t keep it to yourself, understand?”

They knew there was no one else in the house now, but since the girl was already sixteen, they couldn't just take her home directly. They could only keep an eye on her and make sure she wasn't bullied by those young rascals outside.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. Also, I signed up to go to the countryside in Northeast China. There is a relative of mine there. I didn't go before because I thought it was too cold there, but I contacted him yesterday. Don't worry about me when I get there. Besides, my mind is better now, and I'm all grown up. I can take care of myself."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Nuo told them about his upcoming trip to the countryside and even created a relative out of thin air, so as not to worry them if he suddenly left in a few days.

"Going to the countryside?"

The two were startled upon hearing this.
