As someone who just came back from abroad, she was like a cheat. She knew what would happen next, so she made good use of it.

Of course, winning the prize doesn’t matter.

Taozhi walked into the house, fastened the bolt, and then used a door-locking stick to hold the door shut.

Sure enough, just as I finished doing this, someone knocked on the door.

Luo Cuilian's cold voice came from the door: "Xia Taozhi, come out, Mom has something to tell you."

"Luo Cuilian, what's the matter?" Taozhi didn't call her mother, because this was not her mother.

She opened the window so she could stick her head out and run away if the situation became urgent.

Of course, she also had to avoid Luo Cuilin looking for her through the window.

Luo Cuilian continued: "Open the door, I want to talk to you."

Taozhi sat on the bed: "I have nothing to say to you."

Naturally, she would not tell Luo Cuilian that she wanted to leave the Xia family, mainly because she was worried that she would cause trouble. After she had negotiated the terms with the village party secretary, in this era, she could move her household registration without Luo Cuilian's consent.

It wasn't as strict as it was later, as long as the villagers were willing to help, it was fine.

Luo Cuilian kicked the door and said, "Xia Taozhi! Get out of here! Do you hear me? Don't wait for me to get angry. I'll burn you to death!"

Taozhi had long anticipated that she would kick the door, and she was mentally prepared for the sudden loud noise.

"Burn me to death." Taozhi sneered.

Luo Cuilian kicked the door hard, but it was sturdy and there was no movement for a long time. She was worried about waking up her grandchildren, so she left cursing.

Taozhi pretended not to hear, but she knew in her heart that there was no place for her in the Xia family.

Even if the village gave her a place to build a house, she would not be able to build it in just a few weeks.

She lay on the bed and fastened the window latch, but did not lock it. It could not be opened from the outside, but it was also easy to open from the inside.

She really had to get to know someone in the Agricultural Bureau, to avoid the villagers asking around and finding out that her grain was uneven for no reason. That would be a serious problem, and she couldn't tell anyone about her space.

The Agricultural Bureau...she knew there was one.

-

The next day.

Taozhi went out at dawn, and when Luo Cuilian got up, she had no intention of going anywhere.

Because I had a note from the Party Secretary, I could take a passing tractor at the village entrance to go into the city.

There are tractors early in the morning, and many people work from dawn to dusk.

Besides her, there were several uncles and aunts sitting on the tractor. They all lowered their heads and closed their eyes to sleep.

The road into the city now is not a flat cement road, but is full of potholes, like a washboard. The moon in the sky has lost its brightness and has become like a painting hanging in the sky.

Frogs and cicadas chirped along the way. The mountains on both sides of the road were planted with trees, which now emitted fresh air. Dew wet the grass on both sides of the road. When the tractor passed by, the mud splashed out covered the grass again. Everything was silent, but all things were revived.

It took almost an hour of staggering to reach the city, and it was just dawn.

Taozhi got off the tractor. Fortunately, she was from the countryside and her body was still strong enough. If she were 30 years old, she would probably fall apart.

After saying goodbye to the tractor driver, she walked into the city.

At that time, the county town was not very prosperous. Pingzhou City was a small county town that could not be ranked. There were no high-rise buildings, and traffic was not common.

"Where are you, girl? I'll give you a ride!" There were people riding trailers at the station who asked enthusiastically when they saw her coming.

Taozhi shook her head and walked away quickly.

It didn't take long to walk to the county town. Since she had bread, she didn't eat at the street stalls.

There is still a difference between urban development and rural development. In that closed mountain area, people are still living the life of the 1960s.

Here, it is no longer the era of the big pot. You can earn money and also make a living through labor.

She found the Agricultural Bureau. It didn't look very impressive. The sign at the door was clean but a little faded.

She looked inside and waited for the person she was waiting for to come out.

The person she was waiting for was a woman, a little older than herself, who had just started working at the Agricultural Bureau.

However, she was not on the staff of the Agricultural Bureau. She was a liaison between the Agricultural Bureau and the Grain Seed Research and Development Laboratory. Her name was Song Xiaoxi.

She later worked with a famous rice engineer to develop a very powerful rice variety.

But now her grain varieties have not been recognized. She once said this in the newspaper, so she remembers it.

The product Taozhi plans to get is the one she developed.

Then he would bring the products back home, mix them with the ones in his own space, and sow them in the village.

This is the only way, and it is also the compromise she has thought about for a long time. Whether it can be accomplished depends on luck.

It was almost time for work, and Taozhi was looking at the door when she heard a cry of "Robbery!!"

She was stunned for a moment when she heard that, and a man with shifty eyes ran towards her.

Without saying a word, she picked up a brick nearby and smashed it over the wall.

The man didn't see who hit him until he fell down and fainted.

Taozhi's heart was pounding. She glanced at her hands and asked, "How could I be so powerful?"

"Ouch, I'm so tired!"

Taozhi was just beginning to suspect someone when she saw a woman bent over and panting sitting down in front of her.

She pulled her purse out of the thief's arms and looked up at Taozhi: "Thank you, young lady."
