Chapter 67: Get the News



After returning to the guesthouse, Bai Guoguo had a nice nap.

She drew so many drawings yesterday, which actually exhausted her mentally and put her under a lot of pressure. She was not a professional to begin with, but she managed to produce a few drawings based on the little foundation she learned in art class.

The information about the energy stove came from the database prepared before the time travel. Since she gave a lot of US dollars, the hacker on the external network downloaded some of everything for her.

When she was printing information before, she had an impression of the information about this energy-collecting stove. She even complained about it at that time, but she didn’t expect to use it now. Thanks to the almighty Internet!

Honeycomb coal is even simpler. When I was a child in an orphanage, the director would take the children to make honeycomb coal every year. She remembered how much water, loess, and coal ash to add.

Bai Guoguo looked at herself in the mirror in the space, made sure her hair and clothes were tidy, and then went out.

It was a rare opportunity for her to go out, so she wanted to find out some information. She asked the waitress at the guesthouse to tell He Gang that she was going shopping when she saw him, and then she left.

This time, Bai Guoguo deliberately broke away from He Gang and acted on her own. If He Gang was around, she probably wouldn't be able to accomplish anything.

He Gang used to be a soldier. In this era when spies are rampant, every soldier is very vigilant.

So I had to get rid of him and act alone to have a chance to find out the information I wanted to know.

Before going out, Bai Guoguo prepared some candies and melon seeds in the army green bag she was carrying. She was going to visit an old friend she had known before.

It took Bai Guoguo more than half an hour to walk to the guesthouse next to the county train station. Friends who have read the previous article know that Bai Guoguo took a bath here when he got off the train for the first time.

As she got closer to the gate of the guesthouse, she saw the older sister who was guarding the counter last time, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that this trip was not in vain.

"Sister, do you still remember me? I just came here more than half a month ago, and you took care of me. So, I came to see you when I came to the city!"

The older sister was sitting at the counter knitting a sweater out of boredom. When she heard someone calling her, she looked up and recognized Bai Guoguo.

"Hey, isn't this the little girl who came to take a bath last time? How are you doing now? It's a rare trip to the city, and you came to see me. It's really thoughtful of you!"

The elder sister was also very happy to see Bai Guoguo. This little girl was generous, capable, sweet-mouthed, and very likable!

Last time, she couldn’t bear to eat the candies and apples she gave her, so she left them for the children at home, making the little ones happy for several days!

I added a little more of the 50 cents and bought a pound of meat to serve as a treat for the adults and children in the family.

"Sister, you still remember me! I'm so happy! Last time, thanks to you for giving me a bath ticket, otherwise I would have been pickled!"

Bai Guoguo came over with a smile, took out a small bag of melon seeds wrapped in newspaper from her bag and put it on the counter.

"Such a pretty girl, how could you not remember? What are you putting here?"

The elder sister was a little curious when she saw Bai Guoguo put a package of things wrapped in newspaper on the counter.

"My boss and I are in town on some business. We won't be back for two days. I happened to have some free time so I came to see you and brought you some sunflower seeds so we can pass the time."

Bai Guoguo opened the melon seeds, pushed them towards his elder sister, and grabbed a small handful to start eating.

"Big sister, please eat it. Don't be polite. I fried it myself and it's delicious."

"Then I won't be polite, big sister. It's hard to buy Mao Ke these days."

People in this place call melon seeds "maoke".

So the two women started chatting about all sorts of things over a handful of melon seeds.

The eldest sister speaks in an interesting, humorous and funny way, and she is very well-informed. She knows everything about the people around her.

Bai Guoguo originally came with the purpose of finding out some information, but unexpectedly, during the chat, she was amused by the elder sister and couldn't stop laughing.

It was not until the eldest sister learned about the physical examination for her neighbor's child to join the army that she remembered the purpose of her visit.

"Oh, you don't know. I heard that they have to take off their clothes for the physical examination when they join the army. They have to take off all their clothes. Oh, it's so embarrassing!"

The older sister covered her mouth with one hand and whispered in Bai Guoguo's ear. While she was saying "it's so embarrassing", there was a dull look in her eyes.

This made Bai Guoguo laugh so hard that she clucked like a hen that had just laid an egg.

After laughing for a long time, I remembered what I should have asked, but I didn't ask, so I pretended to be casual and said:

"I heard that new recruits have to be sent to faraway places. It would be great if I could serve near my home. It would be convenient for me to go home and I wouldn't have to miss seeing my family for several years."

"Who said it wasn't!" The eldest sister clapped her hands.

"My neighbor, Miss Zhao, cried for several days after sending her son away. Although joining the army is glorious, as a mother, she can't bear to leave her child. It would be great if the army could serve near her home. There is a military regiment not far from here!"

"Oh, maybe I just arrived and didn't know, but I haven't heard of it in the village. My elders even told me that if I were to find a partner, it would be best if I found a soldier!"

Speaking of this, Bai Guoguo became excited. She held her little face and pretended to be embarrassed.
