After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Chapter 1868 The entire Stone Village has only two wells

When he returned after shopping, Mr. Jiang dared not take a long detour, even though he only had one suitcase. He couldn't handle the long journey.

To take a shortcut, you have to cross the river.

Knowing that Zhang Ran was generous, He Bo's son waited for them in advance, and together with another motorcycle driver, took them to the riverbank. Then, he had his own father take them across the river, thus earning double the money.

The golden afterglow spilled across the earth, gilding everything with a golden edge, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Although the mountains are poor, the scenery is absolutely stunning.

Fu Qin stood at the school gate, gazing into the distance, her mind preoccupied with worry about why Zhang Ran, who had gone to town to buy groceries, hadn't returned all day.

As dusk fell, she finally saw the two returning and immediately went to greet them.

Just as Teacher Jiang smiled, she saw Fu Qin standing in front of Zhang Ran with a worried expression, taking a suitcase from her. "Why are you only coming back now? I was so worried about you. Did you fall or get hurt on the way?"

Seeing that Fu Qin's eyes were only on Teacher Zhang, and she didn't even glance at him, Teacher Jiang's smile disappeared. She put down her suitcase and said to Zhang Ran, "It's getting late, I'm going home now."

Fu Qin then looked at Teacher Jiang and thanked her, "Thank you for your hard work."

"From now on, we'll be colleagues, no need to thank me." Teacher Jiang smiled, then turned and left wearily.

Hearing the commotion, the principal ran over to help, and the three of them carried the suitcases back to the dormitory.

The principal waved his hand and said, "Come on, everyone, come to my house for dinner. Starting tomorrow, you'll all have to learn to cook for yourselves."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran and Fu Qin did not stand on ceremony and followed the principal to his home.

The principal's wife knew early on that a new teacher was coming to visit, so she went to town in advance to buy fresh pork, cooked a big bowl of braised pork, made minced pork and egg soup, and stir-fried a few side dishes.

After finishing her meal, Zhang Ran said goodbye to Fu Qin and returned to her school dormitory.

The dormitory room had already been cleaned by Fu Qin with water.

As Fu Qin opened the suitcase Zhang Ran had bought, she complained, "I forgot to bring a rag, so I tore up a piece of clothing. This lousy place doesn't even have running water. The principal said that if we want to use water, we have to go to the well to fetch it ourselves."

"There are only two wells in the entire Stone Village: one in the backyard of the village chief's house and the other a public well."

“The public well is close to the school, so the principal took me there to fetch a bucket of water. A lot of it spilled on the way back.” He took out the bedding that Zhang Ran had bought and spread it on the bed board.

Zhang Ran opened her suitcase and saw that Fu Qin had wiped the desk clean. She then took out the cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar and placed them inside the desk or on the tabletop. Seeing that Fu Qin was making the bed, she asked how her meeting with the carpenter had gone.

“I talked to the carpenter and asked him to make a 1.8-meter-wide bed for the two of us! He said he would only charge us 1,000 yuan since we are new teachers. I was thinking that after we leave in six months, the bed can be given to the next volunteer teacher.”

"Okay," Zhang Ran replied. "I'll pay for it."

"Why should you pay? Let's split it in half. Even close brothers should keep clear accounts; we can't let this little bit of money ruin our friendship." Fu Qin glanced at her in her spare time. "Later, you can calculate how much you spent on these things, and I'll pay half too." After all, she would also need to use the things Zhang Ran bought.

Zhang Ran didn't argue with her, thinking that she only had a few thousand yuan with her when she came to teach in the rural area. Now that she had accepted the money, she felt at ease. In another two or three months, when she ran out of money, she wouldn't insist on paying anymore.
