Quick Travel: Is it OK to recycle yourself?

Chapter 103 The Unlucky Guy in the Historical Literature 45

"I'm used to it. I can't sleep when it's time. Is there anything else to clean up at home?"

"No more. There are only a few things left, such as a small electric rice cooker. I can't take them with me. Aunt Huang will take them back. When my sister Zhi and brother Quan are gone, it will be convenient for you and Uncle Huang to use them."

She took out those small things that could be used now. She didn't plan to take them away, so she just left them to Aunt Huang.

"Okay, Aunt Huang, take it back and use it. You keep these and buy whatever you need when the time comes," he said as he stuffed a roll of banknotes into Qu Nannan's hand.

Qu Nannan quickly put it in Aunt Huang's pocket: "Aunt Huang, you know I don't need these. I'll buy them for Sister Zhi and Brother Quan. When I get craving for things from my hometown, you can just mail me some more local specialties."

Aunt Huang also knew that this girl was not the kind of person who pretended to be polite, so she didn't argue with the child: "Okay, when you settle down, Aunt Huang will send you more mountain products and other things. Be careful in the car, don't talk to people casually, and don't eat things given by others. Remember all that?"

"Remember, I'll call you as soon as I get there to let you know I'm safe."

"Okay, let your sister Zhi and brother Quan take you to the station. I'll clean up here and then give the key to the person."

"Hey, take away everything you can use at home, otherwise you will just give it away to outsiders for nothing."

Aunt Huang was amused: "Okay, hurry up and don't be late, the three of you should go quickly."

Qu Nannan and the other two went to the train station. The small train station in the city was naturally simple, with only a large room as the waiting room. However, there were not many people during the Chinese New Year, so it was good that Qu Nannan was still not used to the dense crowd.

"Uncle Wang? Why are you here?" Qu Nannan suddenly saw a man in military uniform walking towards her and recognized him at the first glance.

"I thought you were leaving today, so your Aunt Wang made some food for me to bring over. Take it quickly."

Qu Nannan took it without any hesitation. These people had always taken care of her over the years, and she had worked hard to maintain these relationships. She would send them some gifts during the New Year holidays. She couldn't just rely on others to be nice to her, because what kind of person would she be if that were the case?

In this small world, Qu Nannan's social skills are much better than in the previous small world.

"Come on, follow me. I've asked someone to say hello. If anything happens in the car, just look for someone you see later. Be sure to pay attention to safety on the road. When you get there, call to let me know you're safe."

"Okay, I'll remember Uncle Wang."

It was not until lunchtime on the bus that Qu Nannan saw an envelope in the bag given to her by Uncle Wang. Inside was two hundred yuan and a lot of military tickets that were valid throughout the country. This was probably collected by those uncles.

The car has been driven away and it is too late to send it back. She can only make up for it slowly later. If it weren't for these people's maintenance and help, her life would not be so leisurely.

The journey was smooth, but the ride was very uncomfortable. Not to mention the smell, it would be strange if it could be better with so many people. The main problem was that it was cold and noisy. The adults and children were shouting and it was like being in a vegetable market.

By the time she got off the bus, Qu Nannan felt much more haggard.

She had just squeezed out of the exit and when she looked up she saw a young man waiting outside holding a sign with her name on it.

Could this... be Uncle Huang’s former comrade-in-arms?

"Hello, I'm Qu Nannan, may I ask who you are?"

Fang Cheng took a look at the girl in front of him and said, "Hello, my name is Fang Cheng. My father asked me to come and pick you up today. My father's name is Fang Minghao."

Fang Minghao? Qu Nannan immediately remembered that this person's name seemed to be written on the note Uncle Huang gave her.

Fang Cheng saw that the other party seemed to know who he was: "Do you want to go directly to look at houses now, or find a place to settle down first? Where is your luggage? I will help you with it."

Nannan was carrying a backpack that didn't look very big and holding a cloth bag in her hands. She didn't look like someone who came to school, as she didn't even have any luggage.

"I've mailed all my other stuff, so I'm just bringing these. If possible, can you come over and look at the house directly?"

"Okay, I found a house near your school. I heard that you like to live in a house with a yard, so I didn't look for an apartment. There are two houses in total. One of them has a small yard but is still occupied by someone. If you buy it, you will have to wait a while before you can move in."

"One is a house that was just returned. No one has lived in it for many years. If you want to live in it, you need to clean it up. But the structure of the house is fine. The main problem is that no one lives in the yard and the house, so it is quite dusty. But the basic furniture and other things are still there."

"The house is also bigger, a standard quadrangle with two entrances. It's a little further from your school than the first house, and the price is also a little more expensive."

"These two are the most suitable ones at the moment. It would be very troublesome to maintain any others."

Qu Nannan nodded: "Let's go see the second one first." She was not worried about getting too tired while cleaning because she had the little robot with her.

Fang Cheng came by car. His father would not do such a small task as finding a house himself, so this task fell on him.

When seeing the car, Qu Nannan knew that the comrade that Uncle Huang was looking for must be doing well, otherwise not everyone could afford to ride in a car in that era.

The first house I looked at is not very far from the school. It takes at most half an hour to walk there, and it is quite close if you ride a bike for about ten minutes.

The houses in this area seem to be all similar, and the environment is very quiet. It may be because of the cold weather, but I didn’t see anyone coming out to talk or chat.

This was the first time that Qu Nannan had seen up close a two-story courtyard house located at the foot of the imperial city. Not to mention the heavy sense of history, even the wooden windows and eaves were carved with flowers, and the layout of the courtyard was also very comfortable.

It's hard to say how big this yard is, but it's much bigger than the house she lived in before, and it's also much more magnificent. She likes it very much. This is a serious old house, but it feels completely different from the retro buildings on Mercury.

The ancient buildings on Mercury always seem to have some other elements, which make them look a bit weird and out of place.

There is also a crank well in the yard, but she doesn't know how to use it yet.

Fang Cheng saw Qu Nannan looking at the well: "This was there before but it has never been covered. But don't worry, there is running water in the yard and floor heating. The house is very warm in winter."

"It's quite nice, but I've never seen it before. How much does this house cost?" I wonder if her money can afford such a nice yard.
