After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

The journey from the Gannan Soviet Area to Jiangcheng was much smoother than the journey Tong Jia and Tao Junle took here.

Tong Jia, Tao Junle and Tian Ma were taken directly to Yongchang Railway Station by a car from the Southern Jiangxi Soviet Area. They took a train from Yongchang Railway Station to Yuzhang, and then took a boat from Yuzhang Wharf to Jiangcheng.

Every time they arrived at a stop, someone would hand the ticket to Tian's mother, and there was almost no wasted time in transit.

The whole process took only three days, which is very rare nowadays.

After the three of them arrived in Jiangcheng, they did not delay and went directly to the address arranged for them in advance according to the address given by Sister Zhao.

The rickshaw driver who took them there from the dock was the liaison officer arranged for them by the organization in Jiangcheng.

After arriving at the place, the rickshaw driver Lao Qian took the initiative to take the three people into the house to check while helping to move the luggage, and introduced: "We were notified at the last minute by the higher-ups, and time is too tight, so we can only find this yard.

Although it's a bit small, we cleaned it up and it was quite tidy.

It is a separate house with neighbors around, but they are still at a certain distance.

These neighbors rarely interact with each other, so even if someone comes to investigate whether you have always lived here, others won't be able to say for sure.

The most important thing is that this place has another advantage, that is, it is not far from Jiangcheng University, only about fifteen minutes' walk.

My last name is Qian, you can just call me Lao Qian.

Before people from Shanghai came, I would come to take Mrs. Yang to school at 8 o'clock every morning, and wait for her at the gate of Jiangcheng University at 11:30 in the morning.

Because Mrs. Yang likes dancing, she won't go to school even if she has classes in the afternoon. You can have free time in the afternoon.

If there is any news, I will tell you during these two time periods."

Tian's mother nodded, indicating that she understood. But Tong Jia and Tao Junle were confused.

Tong Jia asked, "Who is Mrs. Yang? Do I need to meet her?"

Old Qian glanced at Tian Ma, then turned his gaze to Tong Jia and said, "You've been on the road for three days. Haven't you adapted to your current status? Mrs. Yang is naturally you.

You are studying English at Jiangcheng University. Starting tomorrow you must report to classes on time. If you can recognize your classmates, then recognize them. If you don’t, it doesn’t matter.

Although we had made arrangements, we were not sure who would be sent over. The difference in appearance was too big, so the person we arranged was only there to sign in at first. Later, the teacher checked the classes strictly, so we changed people every few days.

Many children from wealthy families do this, so it’s not unusual.

Just know what you are doing, and when others ask you about it, answer it perfunctorily if you can, but if you can't, get angry."

"Okay, I get it. Anyway, I'm a woman who was abandoned by her husband on her wedding night. After finally finding that unfaithful man, he justified the separation by allowing her to continue her studies.

Since she is a nagging wife, it is good that she does not cheat on her husband. She just eats, drinks, and has fun, and does not work properly. Her daily life has only one purpose: to squander the money given by her husband.

Is this the character I need to create now?" Tong Jia reacted very quickly and immediately found her own position.

On the way here just now, Tian Ma and Lao Qian communicated some things in the mountain city dialect. Tong Jia understood it, but did not interrupt.

She heard that after this operation was over, she might really have to return to her hometown to rebuild the organization that had been destroyed many times.

Since she was going back, she didn't want her image to be too different.

Regarding the people of the Yang family, whether it was Grandma Rong's evaluation of them in their previous life or her own personal experience in this life, Tong Jia came to a conclusion.

The Yang family members all bully the weak and fear the strong, including Yang Jixia.

The more unreasonable you are, the less likely he will dare to provoke you.

But the more virtuous and patient you are, the more you will be finished. Anyone can bully you, and after bullying you, they will scold you and say you deserve it.

Therefore, since she hasn't met the Yang family for more than three years, and this is not the original Rong Xintong, no matter how much she pretends, it will be easy to be exposed. It is better to just pretend to be severely hurt by Yang Jixia and change her temperament drastically.

Lao Qian said, "As for how you two are going to get along in the future, you can discuss it among yourselves.

I just moved my luggage in, it would be bad if I kept it in for too long. The things in this room are all half new and half old, and I see that everything I need for daily household use is complete.

Take a look around, and if you need anything, go out and buy it yourself. You can also get familiar with the surrounding environment."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards Tian Ma, and even Tian Ma was stunned.

Old Qian curled his lips and said, "I'm going to do the whole show. I'm pulling the cart, so you guys have to pay me."

Just as Tian Ma was about to take the money, Tong Jia held her hand and said, "Old Qian, what's the monthly price for a rickshaw in Jiangcheng Market right now? We can just pay you on a monthly basis. Wouldn't that make more sense?"

Old Qian nodded and said, "That's true. The monthly price for a rickshaw is sixty dollars a month, and that's the full-day price."

You keep saying it's only in the morning, only in the morning and at noon, so how about I give you a discount, twenty-five dollars?"

Because rickshaw drivers also have to pay a membership fee, if the fee is any less, it will not be enough to cover Lao Qian's own expenses.

Tong Jia glanced at Tian Ma, and Tian Ma gave Lao Qian twenty-five silver dollars and sent Lao Qian away.

When Tian's mother came back, she changed the way she addressed Tong Jia and Tao Junle from Xiaotong and Lele to "Madam" and "Young Master of the In-laws".

Tong Jia and Tao Junle were both helpless about this title, but they had no choice but to accept it.

Tian Ma said, "Madam, let's go in and look at the house and see how to arrange the accommodation."

Tong Jia nodded and signaled Tao Junle to put the luggage on the dining table at the entrance on the first floor, and then began to tour the house.

Old Qian was right, the yard was not big and the house inside was even smaller.

On the first floor, as you enter the door, there is a dining room on the left and a staircase on the right. Next to the dining room and the staircase is a long and narrow room which is the kitchen.

Tong Jia was very surprised when she saw the kitchen. This small building not only had electricity, but also running water. It seemed that houses close to the university had advantages over other places.

There is another room inside the dining room and next to the kitchen, which contains a single bed, a chest of drawers and a bench.

Tian Ma said, "This should be the servants' room. I'll stay in this one on the first floor."

Tong Jia nodded and asked Tao Junle to hand over Tian Ma's bag.

She said, "Mother Tian, pack your things first and we'll go up and take a look."

Going up the stairs, Tong Jia was even more surprised to find that there was a bathroom on the second floor corresponding to the kitchen on the first floor.

There is a washbasin, a toilet, and a bathtub, and the floor and walls are covered with mosaics.

Tong Jia guessed that the original owner of this place might be a foreigner, otherwise it would not be decorated like this.

The area of the first floor has basically determined the number of rooms on the second floor.

The bathroom on the second floor corresponds to the kitchen, the small room on the second floor corresponds to the small room on the first floor, and the room with good lighting on the second floor corresponds to the dining room on the first floor.

Tao Junle chose a small room with a single bed, which was opposite Tian Ma's room upstairs.

There was only one room with a double bed left, and that was Tong Jia's. A two-story small courtyard (the picture is too small) The three of them didn't have much luggage, especially Tong Jia and Tao Junle. The important items were all in Tong Jia's RV, so they packed up quickly.

Mother Tian finished cleaning first. She carefully checked the cabinets in the kitchen, the dining room, and the utility room.

After she finished the inspection, Tong Jia and Tao Junle also packed their luggage and came down from the stairs.

Tian Ma said, "Madam, this house has everything we need. The rice, flour, grain and oil are enough for us to eat for a month, but we don't have meat or vegetables.

How about I knead the dough and make some five-spice pancakes for lunch?"

Tong Jia said, "Forget it, we've been traveling for several days and we're all tired.

Let’s not bother with that today. When we came here, I saw that there was a restaurant not far away at the intersection ahead. Let’s go to the restaurant.

After eating, ask where the vegetable market is and buy some vegetables and meat.

By the way, Mama Tian, do you have a jar at home? Something a little bigger.

Let's pickle some vegetables and make some meat. No matter how long we can live here, we have to live a normal life, right? "

Tian Ma nodded and said, “I looked, there are two large jars in the utility room, and four small jars in the cabinet behind the dining room.

In addition to meat and vegetables, I'll buy some chicken, duck, and goose eggs, and pickle a jar of eggs, and then I'll feel more like I'm living a normal life.

Please wait a moment, I will go back and get the money."

Tong Jia glanced at Tao Junle, and Tao Junle took out ten silver dollars from his pocket. When Tian Ma came out of the room, Tao Junle handed the ten silver dollars to Tian Ma.

Tian's mother said, "What's this for? Shouldn't we pay for this from the activity funds?"

Tong Jia said: "Buying meat, vegetables, eggs and so on will all be paid from your funds, I won't argue with you.

Lunch is on me. I hope our mission goes smoothly."

Funds were limited, so Tian Ma looked at the silver dollar in her hand, then looked at Tong Jia, and finally nodded and accepted the silver dollar.

After lunch, Tong Jia and Tian Ma went their separate ways.

Mother Tian gave Tong Jia a few instructions and then went to the vegetable market by herself.

The main thing is that they can't stay separated. No one would want the wife to accompany the servants to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

In order to fit the dancing-loving persona that Lao Qian and the others had created for themselves, Tong Jia took Tao Junle to visit shopping malls, tailor shops and various clothing stores.

When returning home, Tao Junle was carrying a bag full of clothes and shoes.

What they brought back was just the tip of the iceberg. These were only the ones that could be brought back. The majority of the clothes needed to be customized by hand and only had the sizes measured. They would need to be picked up after a week or half a month.

There was no way. Tong Jia couldn't help it when he saw the exquisite workmanship of the master craftsmen.

Since I was spending my own money and it didn't require any funding, I just bought it.

When I was almost home, I saw a dim sum shop and ordered some of each kind.

Tao Junle really couldn't take the snacks, and Tong Jia also wanted to let everyone around know that there was a family like theirs living nearby, so he left his home address and asked the people from the snack shop to deliver the snacks back home.

In short, Tong Jiacai had been in Jiangcheng for less than a day when he had already let almost all the tailor shops, clothing stores, and pastry and snack shops in Jiangcheng know that there was a Mrs. Yang near Jiangcheng University who spent money like water and was a big customer who had to be treated well.

Tian's mother, who had already started making jar meat at home, was so shocked when she saw Tong Jia bringing back so many clothes.

After the dim sum shop clerk left, she immediately closed the door and questioned Tong Jia, "Madam, don't forget that we came to Jiangcheng to carry out a mission, not to enjoy ourselves.

Buying some food is a daily necessity, why are you buying so many clothes? We don’t have that much money for activities! "

"Mother Tian, don't worry. The money I used to buy clothes, shoes, and snacks doesn't come from the activity funds. These clothes were all bought according to my own size, and some were even tailored to my figure. No one else can wear them except me, so how can they be used from the activity funds?"

I'll pay for this myself. Don't worry," Tong Jia reassured him.

"You pay for it yourself? Where did you get so much money?" Tian's mother also knew that Tong Jia had stayed in the Soviet area for two years.

The Soviet area did not give her any opportunity to make money, so how could she have so much extra money out of thin air?

Tong Jia explained, "When I was in Shanghai, didn't I teach others how to put on makeup? I saved this money back then.

When I first arrived in the Soviet area, I mentioned to Sister Zhao that I wanted to hand over the money to the government.

But Sister Zhao said that it was the income from my personal labor and did not need to be handed over to the government.

You know, there is not much place to spend money in the Soviet area, so I kept this money with Lele and almost forgot about it.

If I hadn't been out on this mission, I wouldn't have known I was actually a wealthy woman."

Tong Jia used a lot of coaxing and deception to dispel Tian Ma's doubts about the source of her money, and also convinced Tian Ma of the importance of preparing these clothes and shoes to complete the task.

She said: "A wife who is full of resentment towards her husband, if she cannot cheat and cannot find her own purpose in life, the only thing she will do is squander the money her husband gives her.

Doesn’t Yang Jixia give the outward impression of being a businessman?

The more money I spend, the more established his image becomes.

These clothes not only help him establish his character, but also help me establish my character.

When you go to Shanghai in the future, you will be able to help me a lot.

Aunt Tian, think about it, when we go to Shanghai, whether we are rich ladies or official wives, our clothes will definitely not be cheap.

If I want to fit in, I can't be too shabby.

There was no time today, so I only bought clothes and shoes.

Tomorrow, you come with me and we'll go pick out some decent jewelry."

Tian Ma said, "I know what you said makes sense. But... you can't pay for it all.

Your savings are yours. If something happens to you in the future, then...

No, tomorrow's jewelry payment should be paid from the budget."

"No, Aunt Tian, you can't use the funds for jewelry. Those jewelry are made of real gold and silver. I can wear them when I'm on a mission, and after the mission is completed, I can sell them and they will appreciate in value.

This is a sure-win deal for me. If I lose the funding, how do you calculate the profit?

Don't worry that I will suffer any loss. I am smarter than a monkey. No matter who else suffers, I will not suffer any loss. Don't worry.

Okay, you continue frying the meat, and Lele and I will go wash the vegetables." Tong Jia bought the jewelry to store in the RV as a treasure.

The craftsmanship of many jewelry today is not as good as that in ancient times, but it is still very good compared with later generations.

If she loses the funds and has to pay them back to the government later, then all her efforts will be in vain.

For the next three days, Tong Jia showed up at school in the morning and took Tao Junle shopping in the afternoon.

During these three days, she bought all the jewelry and cheongsam fabrics that interested her.

Anything that was too expensive was put directly into the RV, and the rest was taken home intact.

Except for accompanying her to buy jewelry, Tian's mother never went out at other times. Now they have made all the preparations and are waiting at home for someone from Shanghai to pick them up.
