This author has traveled through time and space in a book!

A very beautiful girl came to the village!

What are you here for?

I heard that he is our new village supervisor.

Xibai Township was already remote enough, but the village Zhou Ran was assigned to was even more remote. How remote was it? Just over the hill was the neighboring city... not the neighboring county, but the neighboring city that crossed provinces, autonomous regions, and independently planned cities.

In short, she will stay in this place for five years, and she may not be transferred so soon after the five-year service period, so let's be conservative and estimate it to be seven or eight years!

As for whether Lao Zhou would ask someone to use his connections to transfer her out, it would be fine if she didn't leave!

It is said to be the most remote place, but it is also the place with the most spiritual energy. Zhou Ran plans to take root here.

Old Zhou will retire in five years, so you can ask him to come to Xibai Township by then!

The only "real estate" project in Xibai Township has 2/3 of its properties unsold so far, and the prices are as cheap as the floor, just over yuan per square meter. The starting price in their county town is over yuan!

Of course, Bao Bao has no money, all her money is in the stock market, so she still has to rely on Lao Zhou himself, hehe!

Because he expected to stay for a long time, Zhou Ran had the idea of long-term rental from the beginning. Now many young people in rural areas have moved out of the mountains, which has resulted in many farmhouses in good conditions being vacant. Later it was revealed that in some places, nine out of ten houses were empty.

The young people moved away and the old people passed away.

With the help of the women's director of her village, Zhou Ran rented a two-story courtyard for 5,000 yuan a year, with a minimum lease of 10 years. It was said that this house was built by the first person in the village to earn 10,000 yuan in the late 1980s. The materials used were very solid, but the owner had already settled down in Shanghai and would not come back.

Fifty thousand yuan in these ten years is really like picking it up for free.

These are the landlord's original words. He said this himself. It was partly a joke, but also, who would be so generous as to pay for ten years in one go when renting a house?

This is what Zhou Ran did. He bought a car for 18,000 yuan, rented a house for 50,000 yuan, and planned to spend a lot of money on repairs.

She also turned over the soil in the small vegetable garden in the yard which had been abandoned for a long time. She planned to emulate the innate farming holy body and obtain the top-grade wood spiritual roots.

Well...the spirit gathering array cannot be wasted!

"Xiao Zhou! Xiao Zhou! Are you home?"

Zhou Ran was planning in the yard when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Hey! I'm here!" Zhou Ran didn't recognize who it was, but everyone called her Xiao Zhou, so they must be from the unit.

Sure enough, when they opened the door, they saw Director Liu, who was in charge of logistics for their village.

"Xiao Zhou, I heard from Sister Wang that you rented a house here. I didn't expect it to be true. Hey, there are not many kids as down-to-earth as you..." Director Liu is also a native of Xibai Township, otherwise, he would have tried every means to transfer him away.

It’s not that there are no young people assigned here in recent years, but they all want to leave as soon as they arrive. Those who can’t be transferred are assigned to positions or seconded here. In short, all kinds of methods and means are exhausted.

As a result, Xibai Township has a much worse reputation outside, and people think it is very xenophobic and cannot retain any young people.

When Director Liu heard about another beautiful young woman, he thought she was just like the others. She was supposed to be able to transfer her family and go home in just two days. But unexpectedly, she was able to get a permanent residence permit straight away!

In Director Liu's opinion, renting a house for ten years is the same as settling down.

"Director Liu, please don't praise me. I just want to stay in the village for at least five, six, seven or eight years, and I want to live more comfortably. I have to thank Director Wang for finding this house for me." Zhou Ran smiled and let the person into the yard.

Looking at the half-tidy courtyard of Zhou Ran, Director Liu felt more admiration. She was a girl who got things done. From what he had seen in her information before, she was clearly a city girl, but he didn't expect that she could do farm work so well.

"Sister Wang is a kind-hearted person. I came here to see if there is anything I can help you with. Oh, by the way, this is rice grown by my family. I brought you 30 kilograms." Director Liu said, and went to the electric tricycle outside the door to pick up several bags of things.

It's obviously not just the rice she mentioned.

"Director Liu, this is inappropriate. How can I take your things?" Zhou Ran only met Director Liu once on the day he reported for work. How could he take his things for free?

"It's not for nothing. Is your father Zhou Zhebei?" Director Liu looked at Zhou Ran jokingly, as if teasing her.

"Ah? Yeah." Zhou Ran looked a little dumbfounded. What did that mean? Dad's out there...

"Well, then it's not wrong for you to call me aunt. Zhou Zhebei and I were classmates in junior high school. When he went up the mountain to chop firewood that year, it was me who carried the firewood down for him..." Once Director Liu confirmed that this was Zhou Zhebei's daughter, his smile became more sincere.

Lao Zhou's embarrassing story? Tell us more!

Just like that, Liu Xuemei talked about the past with Zhou Ran. It was nothing else but that her family was from the mountains, and she had received help from Grandpa Zhou so that she could go to Hongqi Middle School to study in junior high school. It was also because of this that she was able to be admitted to a technical secondary school and later got a stable job.

"Mr. Zhou was a good man. We all admired him back then. Even in difficult times, he was able to ensure that everyone had enough food to eat. Alas..." This was what Liu Xuemei said when she heard the news that the old man had passed away when Zhou Ran was in his second year of high school.

Zhou Ran thought to herself that in another time and space, her grandfather was still alive and well, but in this world, she came a little late, and several of the old people were no longer around.

Liu Xuemei finally left behind dozens of kilograms of rice, homemade camellia oil, and various vegetables.

She had prepared it, but was not sure whether to give it to someone. However, when she saw Zhou Ran, she felt friendly and remembered Zhou Zhebei's name in her file, so she started a conversation.

I didn’t expect that she was really my classmate’s daughter.

The two had actually met several times during meetings in the city, but... male and female classmates didn't have so much to talk about. The amount of things she and Zhou Zhebei had said over the years combined was not as much as what she had said to Zhou Ran.

However, in the courtyard rented by Zhou Ran, Liu Xuemei also video-called Zhou Ran through Zhou Ran's mobile phone. When she learned that her old classmate was working with Zhou Ran, Zhou earnestly asked for help.

You can just pay back the favors you owe later.

Anyway, Mr. Zhou and Ms. Zhou also plan to come and see Zhou Ran during the weekend, and they can just bring some gifts to the Liu family.

When it comes to human relations, there is still the word "intercourse".

Liu Xuemei also told Zhou Ran that she should go over there for dinner in the evening and get to know the place by the way.

Oh, such enthusiasm.

After a while, Ms. Zhou called. When she heard Zhou Ran mention Liu Xuemei, she was not very clear. After all, Ms. Zhou was only one year younger than Lao Zhou and was not familiar with his classmates.

But when she heard that it was the female classmate who carried firewood down the mountain for Lao Zhou, Ms. Zhou knew that even after Lao Zhou became an adult, he was still a thin and tall man.

When he was in junior high school, he was also very thin and could not carry firewood at all. He was the youngest son in the family and had never done any work. He went up the mountain to chop firewood. When he was coming down the mountain, he was not careful and the firewood fell down the cliff. He was standing there, not knowing what to do, when he met Liu Xuemei, who bundled the firewood for him again, invited him to have a bowl of noodles at her home, and finally helped him carry the firewood down the mountain.

Even Zhou Ran had some impression of this story.
