Chapter 10 Visiting Someone's Home Tonight (1/2)

The middle-aged man was clearly taken aback for a moment.

He pushed up his glasses, his eyes full of surprise, seemingly never expecting that this delicate, fair-skinned girl would volunteer to go to the countryside.

"Sit down." He gestured to the chair opposite him, his tone unconsciously softening.

Have you decided where to go?

"The south has many mountains and rivers, a mild climate, and high grain yields. You won't suffer much hardship there."

These words were exactly what Ruan Tang wanted to hear.

The lush vegetation to the south made it an ideal cultivation ground for her "Green Vine Cloud Dew Technique".

Her smile deepened, and she was about to nod.

In his dantian, the usually well-behaved Ruomu sapling suddenly trembled for no apparent reason!

A strong sense of resistance, even tinged with resentment, surged up along the meridians.

Not going south!

Immediately afterwards, a faint yet incredibly clear thought, like a stubborn little arrow, pointed straight towards the northeast direction on the map.

Go there! There's something good there!

Ruan Tang: "..."

Her sweet smile froze for a moment.

I've cursed this ungrateful little tree a thousand times in my heart.

Seeing that she remained silent for a while, the middle-aged man asked again, "What's wrong, young comrade? Is there something you're worried about?"

"N-nothing..."

Ruan Tang had no choice but to change her mind at the last minute, her face showing just the right amount of confusion and hesitation.

She stretched out her fair finger and pointed to the registration form on the other side, her voice soft and sweet: "Uncle, where...is this place?"

"Is this for Jilin Province?"

The middle-aged man was genuinely surprised this time, looking Ruan Tang up and down as if she were a naughty child.

"Young lady, you should think this through! In Laotieshan, Jilin Province, the winter temperature drops to tens of degrees below zero, and the snow can bury a person up to their waist. That place is extremely harsh!"

Ruan Tang smiled bitterly to herself, but on the surface she could only pretend to be innocent and naive, nodding vigorously.

"I've made up my mind!"

"I'm not afraid of hardship! I want to go to Jixiang Brigade!"

This name was also something that little broken tree forced into her head.

Seeing her resolute attitude, the middle-aged man didn't dare to persuade her any further. He could only sigh and pull out a form from a pile of documents, handing it to her.

"Alright, it's good that young people have ambition. Fill out the form."

...

Half an hour later, Ruan Tang walked out of the educated youth office with a train ticket for a train departing at 2 p.m. ten days later and a rural subsidy of 200 yuan.

Before she left, the uncle repeatedly reminded her to prepare thick cotton-padded clothes and quilts, because the winters there are no joke.

Ruan Tang nodded obediently in agreement, but inwardly she didn't think much of it.

With space available, she lacks nothing.

After leaving the educated youth office, she thought for a moment and then turned directly into a bank not far away.

She handed over the savings book with 60,000 yuan from Haicheng.

In this day and age, this amount of money is not a small sum.

The bank clerk spent a long time verifying the information and consulted with his supervisor. Under several scrutinizing gazes, fortunately, the paperwork was complete, and the money was finally withdrawn smoothly.

Holding a large bag of brand-new banknotes wrapped in kraft paper, Ruan Tang quickly turned into an empty alley. With a thought, she put all the money into her spatial storage.

It's always safest to keep your money in your own hands.

When I returned to the courtyard, it was already afternoon.

After a tense morning, her mind suddenly relaxed, and the belated feeling of exhaustion swept over Ruan Tang like a tidal wave.

This mortal body tires far too easily.

My eyelids felt as heavy as if they were weighed down by two weights, and a feeling of weariness and soreness permeated even the very bones of my body.
