Chapter 418 70 The Little Cub's Last Wish 10
It didn't feel like that just now. Chang'an vaguely entered another realm, but she herself didn't realize it.
Chang'an walked around the village holding an oil-paper umbrella. The village had changed, but it also seemed that nothing had changed. Most people were still as lazy as before, and some people had begun to secretly hide food outside.
Some people are skeptical about what they see in their dreams because they feel that they cannot tell others about it and that it may not be true.
Those who are quietly transferring food are the ones who believe in dreams, but they are a minority. People like Zhao Erleng and his friends prefer to believe it exists rather than not.
It would be best if nothing happens, it would just be an extra effort, but if there is a problem then it would save their lives.
"Who the hell stole my sweet potatoes and potatoes? Nearly half of them are missing. This is killing me," Old Mrs. Zhao jumped up and down in the yard and cursed.
Zhao Erleng transferred the grain secretly, and he only took his share. It was not as exaggerated as Old Lady Zhao said.
His name is Erleng, but he is not stupid at all. He is a smart guy.
In his mind, he divided all the things in the house into four parts, and then quietly took away his own part. He did not take the big items in the house. Apart from food, he took only his own clothes and some daily necessities.
When Mrs. Zhao saw Zhao Erleng coming back from outside, she rushed over and grabbed his ears, asking viciously, "What were you doing sneaking around today? Did you steal the food from home to raise a vixen?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? Who in the village doesn't have sweet potatoes and potatoes? They're not gold or treasure, who would want to steal yours?" He freed his ears, and the man who had always been honest in front of his parents suddenly changed his expression.
Zhao Erleng is the youngest in the family. His four older brothers are all married. He originally had two younger sisters, but they were drowned by his parents.
They thought their daughter was useless and a waste of food, so they threw her into the water tank in the backyard as soon as she was born and let her drown. He was not at home at the time, and when he came back to save her, it was too late. What he fished out was his sister's body.
He has been feeling guilty all these years. If he had been at home when his mother gave birth, would he have been able to save his younger sisters?
His nieces at home had the same dream as him, but his two nephews did not.
He cleverly discovered the problem. Anyone who had done bad things would not receive warnings in dreams. His brothers and sisters-in-law had their own daughters' lives on their hands. He originally had ten nieces, but four died, leaving only six.
God is unwilling to bless those who despise life.
When Mrs. Zhao saw her son, who had always been easy to bully, give her the cold shoulder, she immediately cried and wailed as if her husband had died, "My son is so unfilial, I can't live anymore."
Zhao Erleng frowned and watched for a while. It was too noisy. He pulled the old lady back to her room, locked her in the room, then went to the kitchen, took some things that he might need on the mountain, and left through the backyard to go up the mountain.
The dream gave a hint of which mountain would not be affected by the mountain torrents, and they all went to that mountain tacitly. Time was urgent, and it was definitely too late to build a house, but they could build a thatched hut.
In order to avoid the disaster, everyone was very united. There were only about ten people, and after filtering out those scum, these dozen people all had good character.
Zhao Erleng's six nieces were also silently making plans for themselves. They had no attachment to the old Zhao family, and they had never thought of telling their parents.
They are all poor little ones in the family. Not only do they have to endure the abuse of their parents, but they also have to endure the beatings and bullying from the two glorious ancestors of the family. They have no feelings for their family members at all.
The Zhao family has six nieces, the oldest is fifteen years old and the youngest is eight years old. They want to fight for themselves.
While the villagers were busy figuring out their way out, Gu Yinnian was also arranging a new life for him and Chang'an.
It’s not easy to rent a house in the city. Housing is tight for every household these days, and it’s really hard to find a way without some connections.
It took me seven or eight days to rent a suitable house. It was a small bungalow with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a utility room. There was no toilet, so I had to go to the public toilet at the end of the alley.
"The rent is five dollars a month. The landlord works in the armed forces department. I heard that he rented out the house because he was transferred to another place for work. This is all I know and I didn't ask anything else," Gu Yinnian explained to Chang'an while putting his luggage away.
They left the village in the evening, and it was already night when they walked to the town. Gu Yinnian found his friend, borrowed his bicycle, and rode for another hour to reach the county town.
Changan wasn't interested in who owned the house. The fact that Gu Yinnian could rent it meant there was no problem. They could afford the five yuan a month rent. She wanted to ask on the way, "Dad, why do we have to move at night?"
Not in the morning?
Not in the morning?
Gu Yinnian scratched his head stupidly and said, “I was just so happy that I wanted to move here as soon as possible, so I didn’t pay attention to the time.”
Besides, it would be nice to move at night. No one would see them leaving the village and they wouldn't have to explain to anyone.
Chang'an:...
"It's too late, let's put it away tomorrow."
The father and daughter settled down in the county town. After tidying up the house, Gu Yinnian went out to look for a job.
There is only one job for each person, and it’s not easy to find a job.
Chang'an saw that he went out full of energy every day and came back dejected, so when he went out to look for a job again, he gave him a good luck charm with a validity period of three months.
If you still can't find a job in three months, then there's no need to look for it. You don't need that money anyway.
"Dad, you should go and get your junior high school diploma first. The factory has recruitment requirements, and the minimum requirement is a junior high school diploma."
Gu Yinnian retracted his foot that was about to leave and said, "I'll review for a few days before taking the exam."
He works very hard and learns quickly. He has already learned all the knowledge required for junior high school. However, he has been too busy these days and has not had time to take the graduation certificate exam.
Changan found that everyone she met was a genius in learning, and she was the only one who was a poor student in college.
"Tong, do you think my brain has been eaten by zombies?"
996: ...
What is His Majesty doing now?
[Your Highness, don't worry, there is no.] You haven't grown a brain yet, so the zombies can't eat it.
996 was also very puzzled. How could such a highly intelligent monster like the Lord God give birth to an egg with such a mediocre IQ? Genetic mutation?
Chang'an stretched out her chubby little hands, hugged her big head and shook it twice. She seemed to hear the sound of the sea.
[Your Highness, what are you doing? ]
Brain shake?
Changan: "Shaking IQ".
996: ...What should I do? Before it was sealed, it could still see some cleverness, but now it only sees stupidity.
Gu Yinnian studied at home for a week and then went to take the exam. As expected, he got his junior high school diploma. While he was looking for a job, Chang'an urged him to learn high school knowledge.
Maybe it was the lucky charm that worked, because he saw a job advertisement in the corner at the back door of the textile factory. It was torn down less than ten minutes after it was posted. Who would have thought that someone would post a job advertisement like that?
Do you want to recruit or not?
"It should be an internal appointment, the job posting is just a formality."
Another person who came to see the recruitment, Youyou, spoke, then walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back.
