While eating, Wang Wenfeng helped her roll up the roast duck and said, "After you finished your exam, I showed the land deed you took out to Dad. He said you were very lucky. This year, Haicheng is carrying out a 'house ownership survey and cleanup,' and all your documents are complete. It shouldn't be a problem to exchange it for a Haicheng real estate ownership certificate. It's just a matter of time. Then you'll own a small villa in Haicheng."
Zhan Chunlan was very happy. She had been living a happy life all these years and had almost forgotten about the land deed.
One night after the college entrance exam, she dreamed of the "Earth God" who had given her the space. He was still the same ethereal figure, standing in front of her with a hint of exasperation: "You, you begged me for a space, and I went to great lengths to find it for you, but I haven't seen you do anything significant with it."
Zhan Chunlan, fully conscious, stared at her dream self and chuckled foolishly: "Hehe, I thought I could dominate everything with my space, but who knew that a salted fish using a space would become... a salted fish with a space. But I still want to thank you, because of the space, it's much more convenient for me whenever I travel. I don't have to carry so many bags anymore. Tonight I'll go into the space and burn the thickest incense for you! Hehe~"
The "Earth God" couldn't bear to look at her silly expression: "Fine, since you've always made offerings to me in your space, which helped me recover some of my immortal power, I'll help you one last time. But remember, you can't stop making offerings to me from now on."
Then she woke up. Although He didn't say it explicitly, she knew in her heart that what He had helped her with this time was the land deed issue.
So she took out the land deed and gave it to Wang Wenfeng. She hadn't told him before because having only an old land deed wouldn't solve anything. The name on that land deed was someone else's. Even though Comrade Wang Shuo was the top official in Haicheng, there were many people watching him. How could Zhan Chunlan take out the deed and make things difficult for him?
Now things are different. Although the land deed hasn't changed, He has filled in some supplementary information for her. Given the opportunity, she can completely change the name to hers, and she can own a small villa in Haicheng, then she can finally relax completely.
The ultimate dream of a lazy bum... is about to come true.
"That's wonderful! When I come back to Haicheng for the semester break, I'll take you to visit my little villa." Zhan Chunlan held a freshly sliced, hot crispy crust in her hand and dipped it in granulated sugar. The high temperature caused the sugar to melt slightly, and with one bite, it "crunched" and shattered, the oil instantly coated by the sugar granules, sweet and refreshing.
"Do you remember the day I met you when I came to Haicheng to study? We went to see that house. The people who lived there took good care of it and it was very well preserved." Zhan Chunlan reached for the plate of golden-yellow "Sanbuzhan" (a type of Chinese dish) with her chopsticks again, struggling with it.
Seeing that she hadn't been able to pick it up after a while, Wang Wenfeng handed her a spoon: "Be gentle, don't use too much force, it's easier to use a spoon."
"No wonder you didn't even watch where you were going that day. You were so excited about owning a small villa that you couldn't even walk properly!"
Zhan Chunlan was actually a little guilty at the time. She had found the land deed, and although it was also surnamed Zhan, she always felt like a thief. So when she saw the tenant's enthusiasm, she was a little scared and ran away.
Fortunately, she later learned that the original homeowner had no descendants, and that the Zhan family could be remotely connected to her, so she put aside her negative emotions and happily accepted the situation.
Over there, Wang Wenchuan, still on the train, was whimpering.
He didn't plan to bring much at first, but after hearing that his brother would take them to school, Ms. Fang added a lot of thick clothes, and he also bought a lot of daily necessities that college students would supposedly need, filling a big bag.
Then, the third brother got off the train with his sister-in-law in Beijing. At first, he thought his third brother was just helping his sister-in-law take her luggage down, but the train had already left and his third brother still hadn't returned.
He looked at his various packages with a blank expression, feeling like crying but unable to. Who gave him the courage to believe that his third brother had come to see him off?
Moreover, because his third sister-in-law prepared a lot of food, he didn't prepare anything for himself. Now that his third sister-in-law is gone, what about him?
He carefully counted his packages: two large packages, and 1, 2, 3 small packages... wait, why is there one extra?
He looked at the familiar package, quickly picked it up and opened it. Sure enough, it was all food his sister-in-law had prepared for the train. This grown man almost burst into tears while holding the package: "My sister-in-law is the best. As for my third brother, he's like a son who's been married off, water spilled out. He doesn't care about his younger brother at all!"
Zhan Chunlan stood at the entrance of the bathhouse, holding her toiletries, feeling somewhat like crying.
This morning, Wang Wenfeng took the earliest train. She was too tired last night and went to sleep after a quick wash. After spending several days on the train, her clothes had become smelly, so she decided to take a shower.
She had forgotten that this place was full of public bathhouses. Before, when she went swimming, there was always a shower curtain hanging down. Now, seeing all these rows of people made her dizzy. How could everyone be so calm and composed?
"Excuse me, are you coming in?" Another girl came in, and Zhan Chunlan stood at the door, blocking her way.
Zhan Chunlan quickly apologized and stepped aside, saying, "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
The female classmate looked her up and down, noticing her reserved demeanor, and then realized something: "Are you a freshman this year? From the south?"
Zhan Chunlan nodded.
The student, carrying his toiletries, said as he walked forward, "You'll have to get used to it sooner. Look, not everyone here is from the north; many are from the south. You'll get used to it after a few showers."
Zhan Chunlan didn't hesitate for long. She followed the female classmate step by step. When the classmate took off her clothes and put them in the closet, Zhan Chunlan took them off too. When the classmate went into the pool, Zhan Chunlan went in with her. Zhan Chunlan was like a brainless, imitative person. Whatever the classmate did, Zhan Chunlan did too.
Until, the female classmate randomly found another female classmate who was alone, exchanged a few words with her, and then the two started rubbing each other.
Someone noticed her staring blankly at the two of them and assumed she was embarrassed to ask for a back rub, so they approached her and said, "Hi, would you like me to rub your back?"
Upon hearing the content, Zhan Chunlan quickly waved her hand in refusal. Although she had mustered the courage to take the first step, she was not ready to take the second step yet.
She lived for over twenty years in her previous life and over twenty years in this life, totaling over forty years. Except for when she was a child, no one had ever touched her while bathing. This kind of naked honesty was already her limit.
Zhan Chunlan soaked for a short while, then got up. She noticed that no one was near the showerhead, so she quickly ran over to rinse off the soap. Soon, three or four girls surrounded her, taking turns rinsing off.
This was definitely the fastest Zhan Chunlan had ever washed a garment; her hands were practically blurry with each stroke.
