Gu Wan ignored them. After putting the dishes away, she searched the bag at the foot of the bed. She had not yet carefully sorted out the things they had compensated her with yesterday.

At first glance, it's all just bits and pieces.

Although it looks like a lot, it is not a good thing.

Among them were some old radishes and sweet potatoes, whose skin had begun to wrinkle and had a smell. There were also some soybeans that had obviously been soaked in water, and some dried wild vegetables.

Gu Wan looked at these things and smiled. Of course, she would not take these things to see the branch secretary again.

After all, the branch secretary has already made the decision for me for a while. If I take these things to the branch secretary again, even if the branch secretary helps me, I am afraid that my impression in the branch secretary's mind will become worse.

Although she doesn't care what others think of her, she will have to live in this village for a long time after all.

It's not like the modern times where you can go on a trip at any time just by being brave enough.

In this day and age, if you don’t have a letter of introduction or household registration information, you can’t even leave the house. Even if you do leave, you can’t stand up to inspection. You’ll be an illegal resident and can do almost nothing.

The branch secretary and team leader who were in charge of letters of introduction became the people she could not afford to offend at the moment.

She picked out a few things, wrapped them in cloth and put them in the cross-body bag she brought with her. When the people on the other side saw this, although they wanted to laugh at Gu Wan in their hearts, because of what happened yesterday, they were not in the mood to do so.

Of course, it was impossible for Gu Wan to really send these things to Fang Ping. She just wanted to find an excuse to find out where the things came from.

So after leaving the educated youth point, she exchanged the contents of the cloth bag for the two pears in the space. The reason for the pears was that pears did not grow in the season she was in at that time.

The pear stems in the box have turned a little black, but they still have plenty of moisture, so that should be enough to fool people.

She only took two. It would be hard to say if she took more. After all, these days, not everyone is willing to spend money to buy fruits.

Gu Wan had finished her work for today, so she walked slowly along the way.

The air in the countryside was very good. Although the sun was out, it was not unbearably hot. On the village roads, there were children sticking their butts out playing hopscotch and spinning top games.

Although the children were wearing dirty clothes, and she even saw that several of them were barefoot, it did not affect their happiness at the moment.

It was the first time for Gu Wan to watch the spinning top game. She watched the whip hitting the top and making it spin non-stop.

The most important thing is that the ground is not particularly smooth. It is yellow mud, so there are naturally fine sand and gravel, but it does not affect the rotation of the gyroscope.

Gu Wan couldn't help but marvel in her heart, and her eyes were sparkling.

The children who gathered together were a little reserved at first. After all, the adults in the village always felt that children playing this game was not doing their job and was just being lazy.

Gu Wan is an educated youth, so won’t they be even more reserved?

Everyone was a little nervous, fearing that Gu Wan would look down on these little country gadgets of theirs and laugh at them.

The child who was playing was so nervous that he whipped the top off-center, causing it to spin twice and start to tilt. A small stone also stopped the top from spinning.

The child's face turned a little red, his eyes rolled around, and he used the corner of his eyes to secretly watch Gu Wan's reaction. At the same time, he picked up the spinning top and whip and gave them to the next kid to play with.

Happy smiles appeared on the children's faces, and those smiles were brighter than the sunlight.

Children are very playful. Seeing that Gu Wan didn't say anything but looked very interested, everyone gradually ignored Gu Wan's existence and started to concentrate on playing and shouting.

"Hey Shitou, you're so useless. You stopped after just a short while!"

"If you can do it, then go ahead. If it weren't for the rock there, I would definitely be able to spin longer."

The child who was playing picked up the spinning top that had stopped on the ground with some reluctance, and walked towards a little girl next to Gu Wan with a whip in his hand.

While walking, he spoke to a boy who looked about seven or eight years old in another direction.

The child curled his lips.

"Tsk, that's just an excuse. The land is still the same. No means no. Wait until my sister is done, and I'll show you. I'll definitely make you kneel down and call me daddy!"

Cao Dongnan's face was full of disdain, but his eyes were exceptionally clear.

The child who was called stone was not annoyed. He stiffened his neck and looked unwilling to admit defeat.

"Tsk, this was an accident. I'll go compete later!"

Cao Dongnan sneered, as if he had already secured victory, and waved his hand in front of him.

"Let's compete. Whoever is afraid of who will give the other party five, no, ten cicada monkeys. How about that?"

"it is good!"

Seeing them like that, everyone also became interested, but they had already agreed that they would take turns playing with the spinning top, so if they wanted to compete, they had to wait until everyone had played a round.

After all, there was only one spinning top. The little girl standing next to Gu Wan took the spinning top. The joints of her slender fingers were a little black, and the pair of red cloth shoes on her feet had turned a little black, with her toes sticking out from the shoes.

Obviously, these shoes don't fit well, so they are still being worn even though they are so broken.

Cao Yanni took the spinning top from Shitou's hand. The children standing nearby, including Gu Wan, all looked at her, waiting for her to start.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yanni took the spinning top and walked two steps, then turned around and faced Gu Wan nervously and said:

"Gu Zhiqing, do you want to play for a bit?"

Everyone was stunned, especially Cao Yanni's brother, who quickly pushed aside the other children and stood in front of his sister, looking like he was protecting his child.

"I'm sorry, my sister is ignorant!"

Gu Wan was a little surprised, as if she didn't hear what Cao Dongnan said. She opened her eyes wide with joy, looked at the girl in front of her, and then looked at the spinning top in her hand.

"I, can I? I'm not very good at it." She said this with some embarrassment and shyness.

"Ah?" Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Gu Wan not only didn't make any sarcastic remarks, but actually wanted to give it a try.

Seeing that the other children all looked dazed, Gu Wan licked her lips embarrassedly and repeated it.

“I’ve never played this before!”

Seeing this, Cao Yanni pushed away her brother who was blocking her way, held the spinning top in front of Gu Wan, and said encouragingly:

"It's very simple, sister, do you want to give it a try?"

Seeing that Gu Wan really didn't mind, Cao Yanni became bolder.
