Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village

When talking about his grandson, Grandpa Wang's face was filled with pride and satisfaction. Because his parents died early, his grandson's childhood was inevitably affected to some extent.

These days, as soon as his grandson comes home, he tells him: "What stories did your sister tell them today, and what words did she teach them?"

Children are the least likely to hide their emotions, and Wang Xiaohu's face is always full of smiles. This is because Sister Long praised him personally, saying that he was the best student among the group of children.

After delivering the furniture to the three women, Grandpa Wang left with a smile, his back seemingly straightening a bit.

"Lifan, when are we moving!" The trio's relationship has become increasingly close, and their way of addressing each other has changed without them even realizing it. Moreover, Jiang Nian'an and Hu Lili both refer to Long Lifan as their leader.

Through this period of time together, Long Lifan gained a deeper understanding of the two. Although Hu Lili had some spoiled princess tendencies, she was primarily someone who listened to advice. Well, she was, after all, from a wealthy family.

As for Jiang Nian'an, although she has a cold personality and is indifferent to many things, she is very independent and very patient when teaching those children.

"Let's wait a couple of days!" Long Lifan thought for a moment. "I just checked the pit, and it's not very dry yet, so it's not comfortable to sleep in there."

“Okay, we’ll listen to you!” Hu Lili replied without hesitation. During their time in the countryside, Long Lifan always considered things very thoroughly, and they could learn from her without making any mistakes.

"Should we invite the educated youth to a gathering when we move? The brigade leader and others also helped us a lot in building the house." Long Lifan recalled that when moving into a new house in the countryside, they would always invite relatives and friends to celebrate.

They were all sent-down youth, and the only people they knew here were those from the sent-down youth settlement.

"Can"

"no problem!"

The two thought it over and agreed with Long Lifan's suggestion. As for the expenses, the three of them chose to split them equally, so that no one would be at a disadvantage.

This is also why Long Lifan is willing to become friends with them. Being friends while maintaining certain boundaries is the only way for friendships to last.

So that evening, the three of them went to the brigade leader to ask for leave, saying they would go to the commune the next day to buy some daily necessities. The brigade leader agreed without thinking.

They were also told that they didn't need to count their leave as a day's absence, as long as they completed their tasks by tomorrow afternoon.

The next day, the three of them took Grandpa Chen's oxcart to the commune early in the morning.

They came to buy some ingredients, and after discussing it, they decided to cook two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish. As for the staple food, they chose steamed buns, which is convenient and quick, and they can also cook a pot of porridge to avoid choking.

With such a standard of food, the sincerity of the host is absolutely more than enough.

Of course, the three's first destination was the state-run restaurant, which they had been looking forward to for a long time. Especially Hu Lili, who, who used to refuse to eat fatty meat on the train, actually finished a whole plate of twice-cooked pork.

This truly surprised Long Lifan; it seems time really can change a person. Of course, she also finished one herself, muttering to herself, "I'm different from them; I'm still young, I still need to grow."

Next, the three of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a lot of snacks. It seems to be a shared hobby among the three of them. Sometimes they would share some with the children on the mountain, but the ones they bought last time were long gone.

Finally, Long Lifan suggested going to the post office again, ostensibly to check if there was any mail for her, but really hoping to snag some. After all, she had sent a large sum of money from the post office last time.

"Comrade, I'd like to buy some stamps. Could you please take them out so I can see them?" Long Lifan asked the staff member.

The staff member was the same one as last time. She remembered the young girl in front of her, since it wasn't common for someone to buy dozens of tickets at once.

"Okay, no problem!" the staff member replied with a smile, and then took out all the existing stamps!

"hiss"

When Long Lifan saw a stamp page labeled "The Whole Country is Red," her breathing became rapid.

"Hahaha, it really is!" Overjoyed, she thought, "I only came here to try my luck, but I never expected to actually find it. It seems even the heavens are determined to make me rich."

She knew all too well the value of this stamp; it later fetched a price of over a million at an auction.

"System, how much can you sell this stamp for?"

In her mind, Long Lifan inquired with the system, having already made up her mind. If the system's offer didn't satisfy her, she would definitely not sell it and would keep it as a collectible.

"Wow! I knew you were the most beautiful and kindest host, and your luck would definitely be amazing too...!"

"Stop, stop." Long Lifan listened to the system's unoriginal flattery and said with a knowing look of boredom, "Just tell me how much it can sell for, and I'll tell you I won't sell it for less."

After a while, the system's voice came to mind. "After estimating its value, we can acquire it for 30,000 yuan."

"Thirty thousand? Okay!"

Long Lifan's lips curled up slightly as she murmured these words. According to the system's ratio, she could also get three thousand yuan, which was not bad.

Of course, she didn't have the delusion that the system would acquire it for hundreds of thousands. Her expectation was only ten thousand, and since the price was even higher than she had anticipated, she gladly accepted it.

Long Lifan spent another yuan to buy dozens of stamps. She handed them all over to the system for acquisition, and her account balance successfully increased by 3120 yuan.

Looking at her four-digit balance starting with 3, she was filled with excitement and made a decision: once she moved into her new home, she would definitely buy some delicious food from the system's online store to treat herself.

"gone!"

Long Lifan waved her hand, signaling her two companions to leave, her smile growing wider. It was clear she was in a good mood.

This scene left Jiang Nian'an and Hu Lili completely baffled. It was just buying some stamps, what was there to be happy about? They couldn't understand it at all.

On her way back, Long Lifan brought two steamed buns for Old Man Chen. "You silly girl, have you forgotten everything I told you last time?" Old Man Chen scolded her, looking at her with a disappointed expression.

"Grandpa Chen, there's no one else here, right? Don't worry, we've listened to everything you said!" Long Lifan smiled and urged him to accept the food. She was especially happy today, so she bought meat buns for Grandpa Chen.

"Hey, you..."

Old Chen had no choice but to accept it, carefully putting it in his pocket. Then, waving his whip, he slowly drove the oxcart home.

In the afternoon, the three of them arrived at the mountain early to start working. After all, each of them still needed to collect two baskets of pig feed. Fortunately, the children arrived one after another, so their task was completed easily.

Tomorrow is the moving day, so they need to go back in advance to prepare. In order not to trouble others, they have already started moving some things into their new home.

"Long Zhiqing, when are you planning to move? Do you need our help?" Chen Hongjie asked the three of them as he returned from work.

"Thank you for your kindness, Comrade Chen, but I think we don't need it!" Long Lifan and the other two had already made several trips back and forth that afternoon, and now there wasn't much left at the educated youth settlement.

"All right!"

Chen Hongjie was somewhat frustrated. Since this group of educated youth arrived, he had clearly felt that his authority as the head of the settlement was gradually diminishing.

It's not that anyone wanted to take his position; it's just that the new educated youth were all opinionated and wouldn't inform him of anything they wanted to do.

"By the way, Comrade Chen, to celebrate our move to our new home, we plan to invite everyone from the educated youth settlement to a gathering tomorrow night. Could you please tell the old educated youth?"

"Okay, we'll definitely all come!" Chen Hongjie seemed to have suddenly found the confidence he needed as a team leader, almost patting his chest to make a promise.

As for the Yang sisters and the brigade leader? Long Lifan plans to invite them personally.
