Transmigrated to the '70s, I Take My Little Brother to the Countryside to Seek Refuge with My Best Friend

Ruan Mengmeng, who grew up in an orphanage, and her good best friend Zhang Xinxin are a pair of childhood friends who grew up together.

Despite their different personalities, the two girls re...

Chapter 117 Visiting the County

I just thought this girl was a city kid and didn’t know what to add to her living quarters.

"My brother and I have already agreed to eat separately, so we have to buy a pot and a water tank!"

She was really speechless. Something that she could have saved money on had now become something she had to buy.

"Is there a kitchen? And where are the bowls and chopsticks?"

Zhang Sinian on the opposite side frowned and asked.

He had taken a quick look at the layout of the Youth League Home when he helped move things last time. The houses inside were all single-room and there didn't seem to be any extra kitchens.

"There's no kitchen, but I'm going to go back this afternoon and ask someone to build a shed nearby. As for the bowls and chopsticks, I've already brought them in my package!"

Ruan Mengmeng thought about it and told her plan.

There is also the wooden door of the room, which needs to be repaired when the time comes, otherwise it will be so cold in winter that people will freeze to death.

The little girl even brought her own bowls and chopsticks, which showed that she was a person who could live a normal life. Zhang Sinian and the others couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

"Don't waste your money! I have some extra water tanks and iron pots at home. They're all rusty because no one uses them. I'll give them to you when I get home this afternoon!"

Zhang Xinxin was so heartless that she gave away the water tank and iron pot in her home. She wondered if Bai Rong would be unhappy if she knew about it.

"Oh, this is not good!..."

Hearing her careless words, Ruan Mengmeng was instantly confused.

Only she and Zhang Xinxin know about their relationship, and no one else knows.

We just met and you're asking for someone's things. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?

Besides, her brother Zhang Sinian is still alive. He might think that Zhang Xinxin is a spendthrift sister.

"What the hell, it's settled. Consider this as compensation for knocking you over. When I get back this afternoon, I'll have my brother move it over to you!"

Ruan Mengmeng wanted to refuse, but Zhang Sinian on the opposite side just nodded and agreed directly.

This is very mysterious.

Is it necessary to be so overbearing? She hasn't even objected yet, but how come she's been arranged so clearly...

"Why, you don't want to be friends with me anymore?"

Seeing that Ruan Mengmeng was still struggling with the conflict, Zhang Xinxin made a bitter face and asked back in pretended anger.

"Okay, let's do as you say!"

Helpless Ruan Mengmeng could only lie down and accept everything arranged by her best friend.

She had made up her mind that even if she accepted the other party's kindness, she would not give less money and tickets.

Otherwise, how will the other person's family view you?

"Let's go, now that we're here, let's take a walk..."

Zhang Xinxin held Ruan Mengmeng's arm and jumped around happily like a little deer.

Zhang Xinxin and Ruan Mengmeng were walking in front, and the other three men were following closely behind.

Ruan Zilong could see that his sister had a special liking for this new girl.

The brother and sister lost their parents and only had each other in this world.

It would be nice to make a close friend here, so he didn't go up to disturb her.

Zhang Sinian looked at Ruan Mengmeng with a bit of doting in his eyes, while Tian Kai, who was standing beside him, was worried that Zhang Xinxin would fall again, and would occasionally glance at her.

The three of them were immersed in their own world, and no one knew what they were thinking.

So he didn't step forward to interrupt the two of them.

As they walked, the five of them basically toured the entire county town.

After a long journey, Ruan Mengmeng bought a few kang mats, while Zhang Xinxin only focused on food and clothes.

I bought some snacks and two pieces of clothing.

It was the exact same rose red dress.

Both of them are not fat, and they can wear any clothes at first glance.

Zhang Xinxin suddenly had the urge to wear the same sister outfit as Ruan Mengmeng.

Ruan Mengmeng doesn't like wearing skirts very much, and since she has to go to work in the fields starting tomorrow, it's not very convenient to wear one.

But unable to resist Zhang Xinxin's persistent entanglement and constant persuasion, Ruan Mengmeng could only nod and agree.

Zhang Xinxin looked at the clothes on the shelves again and finally decided to pick one for her mother at home.

I bought the same skirt, but it’s dark blue. My mother’s age is not suitable for bright colors.

Ruan Mengmeng did not comment on this.

Zhang Xinxin has a good eye, and the styles and colors she picked out are all very nice.

At least in this era, it is quite popular.

When it came time to pay, Zhang Sinian got there first.

The three skirts were bought without Ruan Mengmeng having the chance to pay.

Ruan Mengmeng decided to go back and secretly give the money to her best friend Zhang Xinxin. She couldn't take advantage of this.

I went to a few more places, but there was really nothing to buy.

I looked at the time and it was already half past eleven, almost noon.

According to the previously agreed time and place, several people walked towards the entrance of the state-owned hotel.

The purchased items were taken by Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai, while Ruan Mengmeng and her best friend came back empty-handed.

The two of them just wandered around and didn't have to worry about anything else.

Ruan Zilong was young and had nothing to buy, so he could only follow behind silently without saying a word.

The state-owned restaurants in the county town are not as big as those in the city.

But in this era, being able to find a place to eat is already very good, and people don’t dare to be too picky.

After all, individuals are not allowed to do business in those days, and most of the businesses are state-owned.

"Let's go in first. They'll probably be here soon!"

Ruan Mengmeng looked towards the door and found that no one else had arrived yet, so she took the initiative to speak first.

Among these new educated youth, she was not familiar with many of them.

My relationship with Xia Xiaojing is okay, but forget about the others.

Zhang Xinxin and others had no objections, and they were even less familiar with these educated youth.

"I heard the braised pork at the state-owned restaurant is delicious. Would you like to try some today?"

Zhang Xinxin recalled that the original owner couldn't help drooling at the taste of the braised pork he had eaten in a state-owned restaurant a long time ago.

I don’t know if it tastes as good as the original owner remembers. I can only experience it myself.

Country people work at home all year round and don't have extra money to spend.

Bai Rong treated her and Zhang Sinian much better than the average family, but it was impossible for them to go out to eat every day.

"Look at how greedy you are!"

Ruan Mengmeng looked at her eyes sparkling and looking like she was about to drool, and she wanted to laugh.

"What do you like to eat? It's my treat today!"

Ruan Mengmeng asked the three people behind her generously as they walked.

"I don't have any dietary restrictions, I can eat anything!"

Tian Kai tightened the things in his hand and replied.

He is really easy to feed, and he is a real foodie. As long as it is delicious, he will eat it.

"Yeah, that's fine..."

Zhang Sinian has been paying attention to Ruan Mengmeng's expression, trying to see if she has any special living habits so that he can remember them.
