Chapter 56: Get a Letter of Introduction to the City



So he said, "Forget about mine. I ate your food before, and it would be inappropriate for me to take your food again. I will take my comrade's share for him. It just so happens that I have to go to the county to pick up goods for the commune and the supply and marketing cooperative headquarters today, so I can get this done today."

Luo Qiao said, "There's not much food, so let's not argue. I can't just make something delicious and skip you to give it to your comrades. Don't worry, I have enough food. I dug herbs in the mountains and exchanged them for some money."

Now that things had come to this, Lu Yichen had no choice but to thank Luo Qiao.

Just now, when I heard that Lu Yichen was going to the county to transport goods, I asked, "When are you leaving?"

Lu Yichen said, "Leaving soon? Is there something wrong?"

Luo Qiao nodded and said, "I'll take your tractor to the commune later, so I don't have to walk."

She didn't tell anyone about her trip to the city. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. She didn't want the whole village to know about it. She was going to the city today not just to buy a sewing machine, but also to find a place to sell fish.

She had to earn some money to support herself. Although there were many valuable things in the space, they were too expensive. It would be too troublesome for a 15 or 16-year-old girl like her to take out such valuable things if she was targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

Those items are not worth three or five hundred dollars. I'm afraid each one will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Those things really cannot be moved unless it is absolutely necessary. It is better to proceed slowly and safely.

Lu Yichen didn't ask too much, so he said, "Okay, wait by the river."

Luo Qiao put on her backpack and said, "I'm going to the captain's place. If I'm not there by the time you get there, please wait for me."

Lu Yichen nodded.

Only then did Luo Qiao turn around and go to the captain's house.

Gao Jiefang heard someone coming in from behind, and turned around to see that it was Luo Qiao: "So early, what's the matter?"

Luo Qiao said: "Captain, it's like this. I can't go to work today. I have been in the village for a while and wanted to go back to the city. I was in a hurry and didn't say goodbye to my friends who were going back to Ji City with me.

Now that I have settled down in Qingshan Village, I would like to go back. I have some things that I need to bring with me, so I would like to ask the team leader to help me get a letter of introduction.

Mainly because I'm afraid I won't be able to get back at night, and if I need a place to stay I won't be able to stay without a letter of introduction, so I'm just in case."

Gao Jiefang frowned and said, "Luo Qiao, hey, um, uncle wants to say that although our commune is close to the city, is it okay for a little girl like you to go out alone? Besides, don't waste all the money you earned from selling medicinal herbs."

Luo Qiao knew that the captain was doing this for her own good. Firstly, he was worried that it would be unsafe for a little girl like her to go out. Secondly, he was worried that she would not be able to save the money and would have to spend it all, making her life difficult in the future.

He smiled and said, "Uncle Captain, don't worry. I know you mean well, but I have to go this time. I have some things at someone else's house, so I have to go and bring them back this time."

Afraid that the captain would not believe me, he said, "It's like this. The grandparents who taught me knowledge on the farm left some things for me when they returned to the city. I was afraid that my brothers and sisters at home would take them away.

So those grandparents asked me to take some of the things back to Luo's house, and some of the things were stored in someone else's house. It just so happened that that family also returned to the city before the New Year like us, and their home was also in Ji City."
