Chapter 24 The Ma Family Parade
Reading Settings
"Going to the countryside?"
The uncle and nephew were stunned. They really didn't expect that the girl would sign up for the rural assignment so quickly. However, if they had reliable relatives around, it would be much safer than staying in Shanghai alone to guard the house and money.
"Is your relative reliable?" Shang Xiangchong still looked at Bai Nuo with some unease.
The Ma family are distant relatives, aren't they? If they were reliable, they would have killed this girl.
Bai Nuo smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, sister. My relative works in the military there, so he's absolutely reliable. Before, I had mental issues, and he was busy with work, so he was worried that I wouldn't be able to make it there. But now I'm not afraid anymore. Even if I go to the countryside, I can take good care of myself."
"That's true. Although it's cold there in winter, I heard that you don't have to work in the fields in the countryside during winter, so it's easier than farming in the south. I have a classmate there. Remember to write to me when you get there, okay?" Shang Xiangchong pinched the little girl's braids reluctantly and worriedly.
"Okay, don't worry, sister, I remember, I definitely won't forget." Bai Nuo nodded with a smile, and then said, "By the way, Uncle, Sister A Chong, I want to sell my house, but I don't know if there are any suitable people. My previous situation has left me with no one to know, so I can't find anyone suitable."
Bai Nuo smiled somewhat embarrassedly. What he said made sense; how would a fool who rarely went out know who needed a house?
This didn't surprise the Xiang family uncle and nephew much. Since the girl was going to the countryside, the house would definitely need to be dealt with. Renting it out would be troublesome, but selling it would save a lot of trouble and leave the girl with more money. Even if she couldn't rely on her relatives in the countryside, she wouldn't go hungry if she had money in hand.
Although private sales are not allowed now, secret transactions still happen. You can just go to the housing management office and say it's a transfer and name change by a relative.
Only when there was no one in the hall did Bai Nuo dare to speak directly.
"I'll ask about this for you after get off work today, and then I'll have your sister A-Chong come to your house to find you." After all, Xiang Qianjin is the deputy director of the police station, so he has a wide network of connections and a few reliable and trustworthy comrades, so getting things done is naturally not difficult.
"Thank you so much, Uncle. I'm sorry to have troubled you." Bai Nuo smiled gratefully, then quickly glanced at the bag of things she had brought.
"Oh, right, there are some ordinary snacks inside for Uncle and Sister to have a little something to eat when they're busy at work. There are also two hair clips that are specially for the Xiang family's younger sister. I made them from some flawed fabric at home. Uncle and Sister, please don't refuse them. Then I won't disturb Uncle and Sister's work any longer. Goodbye, Uncle and Sister."
Bai Nuo quickly finished speaking a series of words, giving the two people no chance to refuse, and then turned and ran away.
These were the only two acts of kindness she had encountered since arriving in Shanghai. If the other party's profession hadn't been special, she could have given them something even better.
Her teacher once said that she has a somewhat extreme personality. She can tear apart people she hates or has a grudge against without batting an eye, but she can also be warm and gentle to people who are good to her, and she is even willing to give them food.
The two men watched as the little girl ran quite fast with her short legs, and smiled helplessly. They turned around and glanced into the net bag, where they found something wrapped in a handkerchief. When they opened it, they found money, which happened to be the amount for medical expenses.
He smiled and said, "This little girl..."
"She's a polite and grateful girl. Arrange for more people to patrol her neighborhood these next few days. When you have free time, go visit her in your uniform." Xiang Qianjin took out the little flower hair ties from inside and handed the rest to his niece.
"Don't give me the medical bills, okay? Don't worry, I would have gone even if you hadn't told me. Keep some food for me, and give half of the milk candy to my sister. That girl really buys a lot." Xiang Shangchong took out a milk candy and put it in his mouth, feeling the sweetness reach his heart.
After leaving the police station, Bai Nuo headed straight for the council meeting on the next street, where the parade started, and it was about time.
When Bai Nuo walked over, there were already people standing on both sides of the street. Before she could even see clearly, a notification sound appeared in her mind.
"Ding, the Gehui office building on Fuyuan Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai has been detected as a check-in location. Do you wish to check in?"
