Chapter 171 Cleaned Up
In June, the weather became hotter, and the sun shone through the green leaves, falling on the ground in dots.
Sweat dripped onto the ground, and the soaked clothes stuck to her body. Her forehead was covered with sweat, and beads of sweat slid down her red face. Lin Zisu supported herself on her knees with both hands, gasping with her mouth open, and occasionally wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeves.
Lin Xianwen stood aside with a grin, panting and saying, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Training in the heat consumes more energy."
Lin Zisu: "Physical energy consumption will be greater in cold and hot weather."
Tan Yuanyuan: "Take a break, then we'll go eat. You've graduated, right? Tomorrow is Friday, and you two should come to the outpost tomorrow morning for a day of training. Tomorrow I'll give you a form on your training status, and you just need to go over there and give it to the training teacher."
"Teacher Yuanyuan, I will miss you." Lin Zisu blinked her big eyes and looked at her. She came back to her senses and asked, "How did you know we graduated?" They just got their graduation certificates this morning~
Lin Xianwen: "I will miss you too, and the outpost. But, teacher, you are so well-informed~"
Tan Yuanyuan: "Come on, you two, stop talking nonsense! You know how big of a deal the grades are? The exams and grades are released at about the same time every month. Just ask and you'll know. Are you catching your breath? If you are, go to the cafeteria to eat, and then go back to rest early. Tomorrow is a day of training~"
The two brothers and sisters wailed~
As the sky gradually darkened, the two siblings returned home with full stomachs.
Lin Zisu took out a tape measure from the tool drawer of the RV and measured her height. "I came to Qingshui City, had enough food and slept well. I feel like I've grown a lot taller~"
Lin Xianwen took the measuring tape and measured himself. "It seems so. I am a little taller and a little fatter."
Shen Xianglan: "You are at the age of growing up. You can eat and sleep well. It would be strange if you don't grow."
"You two only suffered a little when you were kidnapped. Although you two did not live the life of a young master or a young lady, you were better off than most. You never lacked food or clothing, and you learned to read and write with your father." Lin Youcai stood at the gate, ready to go out, and turned around and said, "Of course, this is the original body's memory. The lives of the two siblings were pretty good compared to the lives of ordinary people in the Dahuan Dynasty."
Shen Xianglan: "You stay at home, let's go to the village head's yard and talk about our departure next Monday."
After Lin Youcai and Shen Xianglan had dinner, they gave the two siblings some instructions and then headed towards the courtyard of Lin Lizheng's house.
"I'm going to take a shower first. After that I'll write two chapters of the story before going to bed. Oh... I need to save more manuscripts! You're better. It won't take too long to write a short story~" Lin Zisu said as she got into the RV and prepared to take a shower.
"You take a shower, I want to take a shower too. I'm so sweaty, it's uncomfortable. Short stories have their own pressures~" While waiting for his sister to take a shower, Lin Xianwen simply went back to his room and picked up a pen and paper to write a story outline. Every article he writes is worth it. Who would complain about having too much money if he can earn a fee for each article? He will submit two more articles before leaving. It will be Saturday and Sunday soon, so he will have time to write.
At noon, the two siblings went to the newspaper office to explain the situation. The editor of the newspaper expressed understanding, saying that such things are very common in China.
If Lin Zisu's novel or long story is somewhere else, she can just mail it two days in advance. If Lin Xianwen has a short story, he can also send it here. If the editorial department accepts it, we will send him the manuscript fee. Of course, if we don't accept it, we will send the manuscript back to him.
After class the next day, those who hadn't finished their work the day before didn't even have lunch, and made plans to go to the Qingshui government office to do some work. Some outstanding fees were settled, and the immigration registration was done. Everyone's rental period was still more than 20 days away, so they went to the housing center to get the rental form, and they could continue to rent a house there for the remaining time.
If you want to leave the city where you rent a house and move to another city in the country, you can go to the housing center to fill out a form for the remaining rental dates. You take one form, the local housing center keeps one form, and the staff who led them there also has a form.
If the rented house has not expired, and the person wants to leave the country and go to another country, if the remaining rental time is more than one month, half of the money will be refunded. If the rental time is less than one month, no refund will be made, and it will be considered as automatically giving up the rental.
Before renting a house, the staff will explain the situation to the tenants again and again. Every time you move out, the staff will come to check and the house needs to be cleaned. During the rental period, if there is no man-made damage, the house maintenance is also the responsibility of the housing center. During the idle period of the house, the inspection and maintenance of the house require both manpower and money.
Lin Zisu and Lin Xianwen sweated profusely in training at the outpost for a whole day, while Lin Youcai, Shen Xianglan, and others who had completed the formalities yesterday afternoon continued to work and earn money. Those who had not completed the formalities continued to process the immigration procedures.
Except for Li Tiedan, Old Man Li, and Mrs. Zhang, everyone else who came out of Nanlin Village wanted to move together without hesitation and didn't want to leave the group. Liang Laidi, Zhao Mu, their two daughters and their family of four, as well as more than a dozen children, also wanted to move to other cities without hesitation.
Everyone finishes their busy Friday, and goes to work to earn money on Saturday. On Sunday, no one goes to work and gets up early to pack their luggage.
The staff of the housing center came to inspect the yards, and every yard was inspected without any problems. The next morning, I got up, had breakfast, took my luggage and went to the dock outside the north city gate to wait for the boat.
The people from the housing center came to Lin Zisu's yard to inspect the house, and were surprised to see the RV in the yard. After all, there are work principles, so they didn't ask any more questions and went to the next yard after the inspection.
The family of four worked together to install the rooftop tent back on the roof. Lin Zisu observed the energy of the RV. Taking down the solar panels on the roof did not affect the RV's automatic 24-hour replenishment of water, electricity, gas, and oil.
Lin Youcai decided that when he settled down, he could use solar panels at home, and there would be no problem with electric lighting at home. Lin Zisu thought it was a good idea, as it would free up space on her car roof.
Lin Xianwen and Shen Xianglan also thought it was good to have electric lights at home, which would be much more convenient. Although they were using rechargeable lights now, which were also very convenient, they had to go to the RV to charge them. If the RV was not at home in the future, they would be at a loss.
As children grow up, it is impossible for them to stay in one place every day. They have to go out and do their own things.
When they came to Qingshui City, every household had added a lot of things, and everyone had more luggage. Lin Zisu's RV was full, with 4 new quilts, two iron pots, clothes, pants, shoes, etc., as well as the original luggage. Only the main and co-pilot seats were left in the RV, so people could sit.
However, we were not on the road to escape. Qingshui City had car rentals. People who did not have a car could rent a car to take people and luggage to the North Gate Pier. Once we arrived at the new place, we could book a car on the boat to take people and luggage. It was very convenient, and we did not have to worry about not being able to take our luggage.
The prices of various items in the country are clearly stipulated, and the prices are acceptable to the people, not too high or too low. The country has strict control over prices.
Reselling, profiting from the difference, scalping and the like will be dealt with particularly severely. In troubled times, severe punishments are used, and this is not just talk.
We are about to go to the next place, which may be where we will settle down. We are all nervous, expectant, excited, and emotional... We hope that the trip will go smoothly and we can reach the destination safely.
