The Little Sister in the Cultivation World

Chapter 9 I Want to Go to the Countryside
"Pfft~" Su Jiaojiao really couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hey~ This wine is so fragrant! Is it the one we drank last time? It's more fragrant than other wines. Old man, give us some too." Grandma Su said as she handed over her large bowl of rice.

Old Master Su: "...Who uses a large bowl to drink? You're such a spendthrift. Jiaojiao, go get some wine glasses." Old Master Su's heart was bleeding. What a loss! What a loss!

"I got it, Grandpa. You guys wait a moment. I'll go get a few wine glasses. This wine has ingredients added to it, so each person can only drink two taels a day, no more." Su Jiaojiao said as she got up and went to the kitchen.

"Ah? You can only drink two taels? Then I'll go get two more jars of wine that Jiaojiao brought before. We must drink to our heart's content today." After saying this, Grandma Su did not forget to push the large bowl in her hand towards her old man, meaning to pour the wine into the large bowl for me.

Old Master Su looked at the bowl in front of him, then glanced at Su Jiaojiao's back. He dared to bet his private money in the hole in the corner that half of the jar of wine already belonged to his wife.

...This debt collector! You are the one who talks too much, and I will pay you two taels per day.

Alas~ Su Jiaojiao was also helpless! She finally got in the mood that day. Seeing that Grandpa Su and Grandma were not at home, she just took a jar of Xiaodu wine. After just two sips, she felt that she should have two more dishes. She went into the space to find Xiaodu to catch monsters together. The jar of wine was left outside...

By the time Su Jiaojiao came to her senses, Grandpa Su had already started drinking.

The meal was full of laughter and harmony, and no one left the table after eating and drinking.

Su Jiaojiao was confused when she saw this. She glanced at Comrade Huang. The speed at which gossip spread was really not slow at all.

"You know everything? I plan to go to the countryside." Su Jiaojiao said indifferently. She really didn't care. She just thought of it as traveling! Anyway, with their family's situation, it wouldn't be difficult for them to come back in three to five years at most.

Before Su's mother could react much, Su's father spoke first.

"My daughter, I'm sorry! It's Dad's fault." If it weren't for the recent busy things, no one would use this as an excuse, and now my daughter wouldn't go to the countryside to suffer. Thinking of this, I don't know if it was because he drank a little too much today, the big man who was over fifty years old and about 1.8 meters tall wiped away his tears.

Hey~ What happened today? Are you crying for me?
He ran over to wipe his father's tears. "Comrade Lao Su, why are you crying? I'm just going to the countryside, not that I won't come back. Don't you know who I am? How could I let myself suffer?"

Suffering? That's impossible! Not in this lifetime. Haven't I suffered enough in the cultivation world? Now I don't need to work hard, so why should I suffer? I plan to live like a salted fish forever.

Seeing that Comrade Lao Su was just staring at the wine glass and wiping his tears, his always straight back bent a little. Su Jiaojiao's heart, which had been lonely for a long time, suddenly felt a little distressed.

With a "Pa~" sound, Mr. Su slapped the table, causing the dishes and chopsticks on the table to clatter.

Old Master Su scolded with a fierce face: "Why are you crying? You are just going to the countryside, not to the war. How can going to the countryside be as hard as we were in the war? How do those comrades who are farming in the countryside survive now?" Father Su didn't dare to be hypocritical after being yelled at by Old Master Su. He just muttered: "My daughter has never suffered from fighting except practicing martial arts since she was a child. I can't bear to send her to the countryside suddenly. I think we should call the second son back. It's okay for him to suffer a little as a man!"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Su snorted coldly and said, "Are you feeling distressed now? If you are, then hurry up and get things done, and then make arrangements to bring Jiaojiao back as soon as possible."

I originally thought that my son was still young and it would not be a good thing for him to be promoted too early, so I had been letting him struggle on his own. Now it seems that I should find time to get together with those old friends. Humph! Or is it because he is useless that he took so long to be promoted.

Now Father Su has no idea that his old father dislikes him. He is now hypocritically enjoying the comfort of his daughter.

"Comrade Lao Su, if your colleagues knew that you were still crying in front of your daughter at home, how long would they laugh at you?" Seeing that her father was not really sad, she began to tease him.

Father Su: ...Who am I doing this for? Ah? Who am I doing this for? I can't keep this girl anymore. Let her go as soon as possible! Otherwise, I'll be pissed off.

"That being said, how can girls today compare to us back then? I will go to your Grandma Wei tomorrow and ask her son to issue you a certificate of premature birth. When you go to the countryside, you can give my certificate to the team leader of the village and ask him to arrange an easy job for you. When does Jiaojiao plan to sign up?" Although Grandma Su was reluctant, the environment was such that she could only try her best to make her granddaughter's life easier.

"As soon as possible." If it is delayed for too long, it might affect Comrade Lao Su.

"Okay, grandma will prepare things for you to go to the countryside. Zhenguo, you can make some arrangements to send Jiaojiao to a place with better conditions." Although they are all going to the countryside, it is different where they go.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Su glanced at his son with some disdain and said to everyone, "Don't worry about this. Just go to Hongxing Town in the Northeast. My old comrade-in-arms is there. His son is the director, and I can ask him to take care of Jiaojiao. Besides, in the Northeast, people hibernate for several months, so it's not that tiring to harvest crops for only one season." I'll call him later to catch up on the past.

Su Jiaojiao tried hard to recall the old man’s old comrades in the Northeast?
"Grandpa! Is this the Grandpa Zhong who came to see you a few years ago regarding his son's work?" Anyway, this was the only old man she had seen from the Northeast.

When talking about those old comrades, Mr. Su's always sharp eyes rarely showed a little smile.

Seeing that his granddaughter still remembered him, he said in a rare gentle tone: "Yes! It's your Grandpa Zhong! I haven't seen him in several years!" When mentioning this Grandpa Su, he couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

"Okay, why bring this up? Can you still go over and chat with him about the past? Don't cause trouble for the country." It would be fine if this group of old guys didn't leave the capital, but if they want to go out, they have to apply and be followed by a large group of people. It's simply a waste of resources and brings trouble to the country!

Because I was a military doctor when I was young, I was no stranger to the old comrades my wife mentioned.
