With a cheat code, she travels through the 40s and hoards goods to take her motherland to new height

Soon, all the pre-departure arrangements were completed.

Shu Ran knelt down and put a delicate light yellow straw sun hat on An An's head, then tidied up her backpack.

"An'an, are you ready? We're about to set off."

An An shook her little head, looking reluctantly at the few animals behind her.

Songye sat obediently on the ground, tilting his head with his signature smile on his face.

The others were also happy in their own way, looking much more excited than usual.

Songzi, in particular, practically urged An'an to hurry up and leave.

Their intention to get rid of people was quite obvious.

"Mom, can't I really bring the pine nuts along?"

Shu Ran shook her head: "An'an, my darling, Xiao Song and the others have a tough task: they have to stay home and guard the house..."

"All right……"

An'an opened her chubby arms and gave each of the furry creatures left behind at home a hug.

"I'll think of you all, and if I find anything delicious, I'll eat more for you..."

Their reluctant farewell was so endearing that it was hard not to smile.

"Wang Wang-"

The matsutake mushrooms enthusiastically smeared saliva all over An'an's face, and the pine needles swayed like propellers.

And then there are the little pine and pine cones, obediently letting the little king of the house ravage them.

After An'an said goodbye to her family and the furry friends, she reached out her hand to Shu Ran and Yun Xi and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm ready, let's go!"

With their suitcases in hand, the group got off the car and boarded a passenger ship bound for the mainland.

When we arrived in Shanghai, it was already close to evening.

Considering the long journey, there was not much small talk, and they were directly taken to a hotel to rest.

"You've all had a long journey and need to rest..."

The group led by Shu Ran was composed of Li Jiening and two of her colleagues from the department.

After leading the group to the back, he stepped back to make room.

"Okay, thank you."

Shu Ran nodded, thanked her, and then carried An An into her room.

When traveling, the family of three decided to stay in one room.

The main concern is that I'm worried about An'an. She feels safer in an unfamiliar environment when she's with her parents.

The others also went into their own rooms and spread out around Shu Ran's family.

As the door closed, An'an was placed on the ground.

An'an ripped off her bunny ear hat and looked around the accommodations with curiosity: "Mom, is this a hotel? It's not as cool as home!"

It's a bit small too.

The hair under the hat was slightly messy, and because of the hot weather, the ends of her hair were slightly damp and stuck to her face.

Shu Ran remained silent. With a thermostat installed in the house, it was certainly warm in winter and cool in summer!

In addition, loungewear is made of temperature-regulating fabric, so temperature changes are not very noticeable at home.

"Is An'an hot? She's probably tired from traveling. Shall we take a shower? She won't be hot after that."

After showering, change into your pajamas to keep the temperature down and make it less unbearable.

"Okay, I'll wash!"

For An'an, taking a bath is almost like playing in the water, and she immediately nodded in agreement.

After checking the entire room, Yunxi nodded to Shuran and said, "You guys go take a shower, I'll pack my things first."

"Okay, I'll grab my pajamas and toiletries and take An'an inside."

Shu Ran walked towards the door, where three rather large suitcases stood quietly, containing the three people's most visible belongings.

He quickly took the items out and held them in his hands, then pulled An'an into the bathroom together.

Seeing the two enter the bedroom, Yunxi also began to pack her things and tidy up the room.

Following Shu Ran's usual practice, she first gave the room a dusting treatment, and then changed the sheets and duvet covers to the ones she had brought herself...

We didn't stay in Shanghai for too long. Our main destination was Sichuan Province. After resting for two days and letting An'an experience the local customs, food, and scenery of Shanghai, we boarded the train to Sichuan Province.

I was in a sleeper compartment on the train, a deluxe version, which looked like a compartment from the Republican era depicted in a TV series.

Li Jiening and his colleague were responsible for safely transporting Shu Ran and her group to Sichuan Province, where they were handed over to the reception staff.

"It's quite a coincidence; this might be the last trip for this train."

"What do you mean? Does this mean trains are going to be phased out?"

Shu Ran was puzzled, and her hand, which was peeling the orange, paused.

Li Jiening started talking: "Those of you who aren't in the mainland might not know, but the trains are also going to be upgraded. I heard that they've already started using them in the north of the city, and Shanghai will be next..."

Is development really this fast?

Do we already have the money and technology to upgrade the trains?

Yunxi casually took the half-peeled orange, broke it open, and handed it to An'an, who was watching eagerly.

Shu Ran didn't pay attention and had already started chatting with Li Jiening.

Including Li Jiening and her other colleague, not counting An An, there were a total of eight people, which occupied two private rooms.

The private room where Shu Ran and her family were staying was occupied by Li Jiening.

After listening to Li Jiening's explanation, Shu Ran exclaimed, "The development in the mainland is so rapid, it's almost beyond our expectations."

Sure enough, even in a port city, news is somewhat delayed.

An'an swung her little legs, ate the orange bite by bite, and observed the scenery outside the window.

Blue skies, green fields, and clear water; occasionally passing through farmland and villages—everything was attracting An'an's attention.

After safely delivering Shu Ran and her group, Li Jiening and his companion didn't linger and immediately said goodbye to Shu Ran before leaving.

"This must be Comrade Shu! I've heard so much about you! This is your wife, she's a perfect match for you... Please come this way!"

The flattery was blatant and undisguised, which seemed quite out of place coming from a thin, middle-aged man in his forties.

"You flatter me. Are you Director Chang?"

"Yes, look at me, I'm so excited I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Chang Zhuo, the director of the Sichuan Provincial Wildlife Park. Just call me Lao Chang, don't call me Director Chang anymore."

Chang Zhuo smiled broadly, thinking that he had finally found someone willing to invest in the zoo, and he had to make the most of it.

"You've had a long journey, please go and rest for a while. As per your request, I've cleared out a few staff dorm rooms in the park for you. They're very close by, but the conditions are rather basic..."

"It's okay, as long as we're close by."

It was agreed from the beginning that we would stay within the park, which would be convenient for our inspection and also closer to the area.

The main reason is that the zoo Shu Ran chose is really big, almost encompassing several mountains behind it.

The report stated that they had rescued giant pandas on the mountain behind the zoo.

If there weren't wildlife nature reserves, this definitely wouldn't be called a zoo.

And these are precisely the two points that Shu Ran values.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group split into two groups and boarded the cars that had come to pick them up.

It was a jeep that Chang Zhuo temporarily borrowed from the ministry, plus a domestically developed and produced multi-seat passenger vehicle, similar to a minivan in later times.
