Sun Kaicheng... Don't think you're trying to make fun of me. I didn't see that coming. I'm just not going to bother arguing with a little girl like you.

Everyone calls him that, and he didn't really think much of it. However, he felt a little ashamed when Teacher Fang called him that. He's an adult, and it's childish to call him that.

Qian Xiao gave Sun Kaicheng a teasing look, and it was only then that she realized something was wrong. She remembered that this kid was a little unhappy last year because he was shorter than her. What did he eat to grow so fast? He looks as tall as her now.

It's a difference of half a head! The thing is, she's grown taller this year too. I'm a little jealous, I wonder if she'll ever grow to be 1.7 meters tall.

Or, try to get some milk to drink; wouldn't that be best for growing taller?

Qian Xiao is quite generous with money when it comes to expenses. She paid half a year's rent upfront, and if nothing unexpected happens next semester, she will just pay for another half year.

A deposit is required for the furniture, but the rent is very cheap. It includes a wardrobe, table, chair, and two boxes. The monthly rent is only one cent. However, the furniture is very old and looks like it has been around for many years.

That's the good thing about having Sun Kaicheng with me—I can use his connections! We borrowed a trolley right there and pushed all the furniture back together. Furniture from this era was truly made of solid wood, and it was quite heavy.

With Sun Kaicheng's help, they made three trips to move all the furniture upstairs. After the furniture was arranged, they realized that many usable items were still missing.

For example, with buckets, you can't just fill them with water one basin at a time, right? And before you even put them in the water, you have to carry them downstairs to empty them.

For example, there are many small items like washbasins. They may not seem like much, but you need to use them every day. Living alone is really troublesome, so setting up a home for them is almost the same as providing a home for them.

Sun Kaicheng also noticed that many things were still missing: "How about we come back to clean up later? I'll take you to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative first to get the missing items?"

"Okay, let's grab a bite to eat while we're at it. Are there any places to eat around here?"

“Yes, but almost all the teachers and students here eat in the cafeteria,” he said, glancing at his watch.

"This is the perfect time to eat. If we go shopping first, it will be a bit late. I'll take you out to eat first, and tomorrow I'll come over and show you around the school. From now on, you can eat all three meals in the cafeteria. Did you bring your lunchbox?"

Qian shook her head. She looked like she had brought a lot of things, but when she actually needed them, she realized that there were still many things she hadn't brought. She also blamed herself for thinking that bringing too many things would be troublesome.

She patted her pockets and transferred some of the receipts from her storage space into her coat pocket: "Okay, we'll do it your way."

Sun Kaicheng could sense the changes in the space. He glanced at Qian Xiao's pocket and nodded: "Then let's go. Did you bring all the bedding and stuff?"

"I brought all of those, except for some household chores like washing and eating utensils."

Thinking of something, Qian Xiao even took out a urea bag and put it on. At this time, there were no plastic bags; you had to prepare your own basket to carry the things you were sold.

After Qian Xiao finished showering in the space and lay down on the creaking wooden bed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. This guy was such a handful; just thinking about how he would keep bothering her during summer and winter vacations gave her a headache.

When will we have high-speed rail like in the future? Riding the train now is too much of a pain.

Seeing that Qian Xiao had brought a lot of things, it turned out that there wasn't much left after unpacking. The small room still looked empty, but Qian Xiao was already quite satisfied. At least the room still had white walls, which was much better than her own house, which was covered in dust.

Tomorrow she needs to get to know the school environment better. She can't keep asking Sun Kaicheng for help with everything. Grandma Zhou said Sun Kaicheng is very busy, doing research with a group. She doesn't know what he's researching, but he's very capable.

"Host, this will be our home for the next four years?"

"Yeah, how's it going? Not bad, right? Once I figure out the surroundings, we'll go get a tin stove. It's in the north, so winters aren't as cold as back home, but they're not warm either. We can't just rely on our body heat."

"And coal briquettes and stuff, I don't know if we can buy them. Shuangdan, can you check if there are any national coal coupons or anything like that in the box in your space? If not, we'll have to find a way to get some coal coupons back."

"Oh, and remind me to send a telegram home tomorrow, otherwise my grandparents will worry about me."

Double Egg was seriously recording its host's instructions. After waiting for a long time without any sound, it looked outside and saw that its host was already snoring softly. It was really tired. It buried its head in the big box containing the money and tickets. It wanted to help its host sort out the various receipts inside.

When Sun Kaicheng returned home, he saw his family sitting and talking in the main room.

"Chengcheng is back. Did he pick up that girl?" It was Sun's mother's voice.

"Yes, everything's arranged. You guys were waiting for me?"

Sun Cheng leaned closer to her younger brother: "Little brother, what does that girl you mentioned look like? Is she really younger than you? How come her family felt comfortable letting her come alone?"

Sun Kaicheng pushed his third sister's head away. Why was she getting so close when she was talking? As someone who had returned from the apocalypse, it was hard for him to control his urge to retaliate. He might accidentally hurt his third sister one day.

Sun Kaicheng also felt that there was nothing wrong with talking about this matter, and he just felt that his family members were too curious.

"Comrade Qian Xiao is quite good-looking," Sun Kaicheng said. "He's a man who, unlike other men, never tried to seduce women during the apocalypse. He's very straightforward."

The Sun family was waiting for more, and that was it? The family looked at each other in bewilderment. Although their Chengcheng was still young, they couldn't help but worry. With a personality like that, would he really be able to find a wife in the future?

Sun Cheng didn't give up. This was the first girl her younger brother had ever really cared about. He wouldn't even say a word to the girls next door or his parents' colleagues, let alone pay attention to them.

It's strange, why do all those girls like to hang around their younger brothers? She can't see anything good about her own brother, he's just a little kid, not manly at all.

"How good-looking are they? Do they have a good personality? How tall are they?"

Sun Kaicheng glanced at his third sister strangely. Why was she concerned about this?

Sun Cheng knew her younger brother's quiet nature well: "I was just asking out of curiosity. Just tell me, she's a young girl who came all this way to study, and we're the only family we know. We should know more about her so we can help take care of her in the future."
