Chapter 35: He really did have an older sister.

The next morning, Bai Nuo was woken up by a knock on the door. She hurriedly came out of her space and was immediately shoved with a bag of things and a bag of meat buns by the person outside.

"Get up and get ready quickly. We need to go to the post office to mail a package and then rush to the train station to pick up our train tickets. I brought over the car that my dad's company assigned to him, so I can give you a ride. Hurry up and go wash up and change your clothes."

Bai Nuo was pushed into the room with a bewildered look on her face. Before entering the room, she turned her head and glanced at the tall figure squatting in the living room helping her check her package, and smiled slightly.

It's really great to have an older sister like that. I hope they'll have a chance to meet again in the future.

After returning to her room, Bai Nuo changed her clothes. The place she was going to was Kaiyuan City in Liaoning Province, which would take more than 30 hours by train. In addition, Shang Xiangchong had repeatedly told her not to flaunt her wealth, but also not to appear too poor so that she would be bullied. Therefore, she put away all her nice clothes and put on a blue work uniform that she had found in Warehouse No. 8.

This outfit must be the uniform of a state-owned factory from before the apocalypse in her previous life. The logos on it have been worn off, and the fabric is the same kind of work cloth available in this era, only more durable and resistant to dirt.

She found these work clothes in a factory's logistics warehouse. There weren't many, just over 500 sets each for men and women, in only three sizes: small, medium, and large. Bai Nuo found a small size set last night and altered it to be a bit smaller. It was slightly loose but fit her well.

He wore a white polyester shirt under his work jacket, and on his feet were a pair of black cloth shoes with red and white floral patterns and a single buckle, paired with a pair of yellow-brown cotton socks.

This outfit made her look simple, but it also proved that someone in her family was a leader in the factory. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy for a child to get such a set of work clothes. Her conditions might not be particularly good, but they weren't bad either. She should meet the standard of striving for advancement.

Bai Nuo looked at herself in the mirror in the space with satisfaction, then took her toiletries and went to the bathroom outside. After quickly washing up, she braided two small braids with a blue floral hair tie.

Yesterday, she asked 925 to cut her hair a little shorter. Now, her braids are just right in the middle of her neck. Paired with her delicate, fair, soft, and cute little face, and her height of 1.55 meters, she looks even more petite and adorable.

In this way, there shouldn't be the danger of being pestered to find a partner, which is what I was worried about when I went up to him. After all, as the system said, there shouldn't be that many perverted pedophiles.

After Bai Nuo finished packing, carrying her military green semi-circular handbag, a leather suitcase she had brought from Beijing in one hand, and a dark blue Type 65 Liberation Cap in the other, she walked out of the room just as Shang Xiangchong stood up, turning around and speaking.

"My mom boiled some eggs this morning, my second aunt made some scallion and egg pancakes, and there's a box of braised pork and braised beef that my second uncle made early this morning. There's also a military water bottle, which I asked my brother to have someone send back from the army. It's full of water for the journey, and I'll keep the bottle too. It keeps things very well, so it'll be convenient to take with me when I go to the countryside to work in the fields. I put it all in this cloth bag for you. Eat on the train, remember to eat by yourself, don't be stingy, or you'll attract attention, you know? And..."

As he was speaking, he took a closer look at the girl in front of him and twitched his lips speechlessly: "Why are you dressed up so nicely? Have you forgotten what I told you?"

"Sis, this is the face I'm born with. I've already let my bangs down, which cover half of my face. If they grow any longer, I won't be able to see where I'm going." Bai Nuo said helplessly.

She's not afraid. If anyone offends her, who knows who will be the unlucky one? It certainly won't be her.

But she didn't want the people who genuinely cared about her to worry, but... that's just how she is.

“That’s true!” Shang Xiangchong sighed helplessly, then said, “I called my classmate yesterday. She’s a police officer in the county where you went to work in the countryside. If you need anything, just go to her. Don’t be afraid of the trouble. She’s my best friend.”

So that's why this woman sometimes speaks with a strong Northeastern accent; she has a close friend from Northeast China.

"good!"

Bai Nuo smiled and nodded, revealing two sweet dimples that made her naturally charming smile even more outstanding.

"Why!"

He sighed and pinched the little girl's cheek; the smooth and delicate texture was addictive.

What should we do?!

"Sis, remember what I told you: if anyone bullies us, kick them in the groin, then run away and call the police. Don't talk to anyone on the way, understand?"

"Okay, I got it. Don't worry, sis, I'm pretty good too. I can kick him back in one go."

"……That's good!"

The two sisters drove to the post office first and mailed Bai Nuo's two large bags of things. Inside were two sets of bedding, both of which were just right for the season, and a set of pots and pans. The items were not actually heavy, but they seemed particularly large, so the postage was not much.

From Shang Xiangchong's perspective, her sister has money and tickets, so if she's missing anything over there, she can just get them replaced. From Bai Nuo's perspective, she can just find another opportunity to take them out of her space and bring them back to the educated youth settlement as packages.

Upon arriving at the train station, Bai Nuo got off the train, took down his suitcase, placed his cloth bag on top, put on his liberation cap, and slung his small satchel over his shoulder. This set of belongings was definitely considered light for a journey of educated youth going to the countryside.

Bai Nuo didn't let Shang Xiangchong take her to the station, since it wasn't safe to come in a government vehicle without anyone watching her.

Carrying her belongings, she waved goodbye to Shang Xiangchong with a smile. Seeing her red-eyed eyes and her words of advice, Bai Nuo felt a mix of sadness and warmth in her heart. This was the first time she had felt this way; it was very special and memorable.

"Sister, don't worry, I've remembered everything you said. I'll write to you as soon as I get here. Be careful at work. There are some things I left for you and Uncle on the car seat. Remember to keep them safe and keep them with you at all times."

Bai Nuo smiled and turned to walk into the station. She wondered if there were any local specialties in the rural area where she was going. She would get more and mail them back to her sister and the others later.

She felt that she would come back and they would meet again.

This was the first person to give her warmth after she regained consciousness; she had to keep that person.
