Chapter 384 Extra Chapter 45 Going to the Countryside
After returning to the military compound, Lu Tingting went straight to her grandparents' house.

To ensure Jiang Moli's nutrition, Ma Hongmei prepared a variety of dishes every day, providing exceptionally good meals. Jiang Moli would frequently go over to freeload.

I arrived just as it was dinnertime, and the whole family had just started eating.

Lu Tingting went to the kitchen to get a set of bowls and chopsticks and sat down in the empty seat next to Jiang Moli to start eating.

While eating, she told Lu Dezhao and An Hui about her decision to become the custodian of the charitable funds.

The elderly couple were naturally delighted that their granddaughter had such an opportunity to learn and grow, and they showered Lu Tingting with encouraging words as if they were free.

Lu Tingting was flattered by the praise and took out her notebook to explain her work plan.

"Excellent, excellent! This work arrangement is very well done, and all aspects have been considered thoroughly. I didn't realize our Tingting was cut out for a civil service job, haha!" Lu Dezhao was quite pleasantly surprised by his granddaughter's growth.

Jiang Moli peeked into Lu Tingting's notebook and smiled meaningfully: "Hey, you've hired a strategist, haven't you?"

"I want you to manage."

Lu Tingting snorted and closed her notebook, unwilling to let her see it.

……

Time flies, and it's already the end of August.

It was midday, and the cicadas outside the window were chirping loudly and incessantly.

Jiang Moli lay on her side on the bed, idly flipping through Dream of the Red Chamber.

She used to get sleepy after reading only two pages of Dream of the Red Chamber, but that doesn't work anymore; the more she reads, the more annoyed she becomes.

Affection +2

Upon hearing the notification that favorability points had been credited, Jiang Moli closed the book and summoned the system: "What's the mission progress?"

"Host's current mission progress: 9289/10000. Keep it up, host! Just 711 more favor points and you'll complete the mission!"

As soon as the system finished speaking, another favorability point was credited to the account: 'Favorability Points +1'

After making the donation, Jiang Moli stayed at home every day to rest during her pregnancy, but she still continued to receive goodwill points.

Rural people are mostly simple and honest, and they will remember the kindness of those who treat them well.

Therefore, they were extremely grateful to Jiang Moli, the kind person who gave them fertilizer and seeds.

Although the mission went smoothly, Jiang Moli was not in a good mood.

On the one hand, the hot weather was irritating; on the other hand, her body was too heavy and inconvenient, and she needed An Hui and Ma Hongmei to help her with things like squatting in the toilet and taking a bath. In addition, the time to return to her original world was getting closer and closer, so she was always in a state of inexplicable anxiety.

Unlike her listlessness, Lu Tingting has been like a busy little bee lately, working tirelessly from dawn till dusk every day.

"Grandpa, I'm going to Tongxiang tomorrow. Could you ask Jiang Xiaoguang to drive me there?"

Lu Dezhao did not immediately agree, "What are you going to Tongxiang for?"

“I need to go on a field visit and investigation. The first batch of fertilizer and seed supplies has already been distributed. Tongxiang is one of the townships that received the donations, so I need to personally go to the grassroots level to understand the actual distribution situation.”

Although Lu Dezhao agreed with his granddaughter's work approach and direction, he refused to lend her the car.

“Using a public vehicle for private purposes is against regulations. You can take a ride yourself, and I'll pay you the fare.”

"That works too. Give me 10 yuan, and I'll bring two classmates with me, one yuan each."

Lu Dezhao didn't haggle and gave her 10 yuan.

After carefully tucking the money in, Lu Tingting tried hard to suppress a smile.

She didn't really expect Lu Dezhao to agree to drive her; her goal was just to get some pocket money.

She's at the age where she loves to dress up, and her allowance is far from enough; she's practically penniless.

With the money in hand, she happily prepared to go home, but Jiang Moli called her back: "Go to Tongxiang tomorrow and do me a favor."

"I won't do it." Lu Tingting refused without even thinking.

Jiang Moli: "I'll give you 20 yuan, will you do it?"

Lu Tingting: “…”

The 20 yuan was certainly tempting, but she wasn't blinded by greed. In fact, alarm bells rang in her head, and she felt that Jiang Moli had ulterior motives. "You don't want me to do anything bad, do you? Don't even think about it."

"You're going to Tongxiang for a visit and inspection tomorrow, so could you help me promote this? Just tell the villagers that all their fertilizer and seeds were donated by me, Jiang Moli."

Lu Tingting was somewhat incredulous, "It's that simple?"

Jiang Moli nodded. "Hmm, so, are you going to do it or not?"

For such a small thing, she actually owes her 20 yuan. That woman must have lost her mind from pregnancy.

Fearing that Jiang Moli might change her mind, Lu Tingting hurriedly said, "Give me the money first!"

Jiang Moli was too lazy to move, so she asked An Hui to go to Lu Tingting's room and get her 20 yuan.

With the money in hand, Lu Tingting left happily.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but mock Jiang Moli: "Others do good deeds anonymously, but you're the opposite, as if you're afraid people won't know. It's absolutely true that you're vain."

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "Of course! I love hearing people praise me. The more they praise me, the happier I am."

……

We arrived in Tongxiang the next day.

Before conducting door-to-door surveys of the villagers, Lu Tingting told Wu Meixia and Gao Mingchuan, who were accompanying her, what Jiang Moli had asked her to do.

Gao Mingchuan was a male classmate of hers in the same grade.

Song Ke had something to do today, and Lu Tingting was worried about the safety of her and her two female classmates, Wu Meixia, when they went to the countryside, so she specially asked Gao Mingchuan to come along so that they could look after each other.

She took out two 5-yuan bills and handed them to Wu Meixia and Gao Mingchuan.

Neither of them felt comfortable accepting the money.

For students from ordinary families, 5 yuan is far too much.

In the end, Lu Tingting insisted on giving it to the two of them, and they accepted it.

Having received such a generous reward, Wu Meixia and Gao Mingchuan worked even harder.

Thanks to the three people's efforts in promoting her, Jiang Moli's name quickly became known and praised by the people of Tongxiang, and goodwill towards her continued to flow in.

In the evening, the sun sets.

After a day of visits, Lu Tingting and her two companions sang songs as they walked back to the city in the afterglow of the sunset.

I came out of the bus station just in time for dinner.

Thinking that she had received more "hardship allowance" than Wu Meixia and Gao Mingchuan, Lu Tingting decided to treat the two to something nice to make up for it.

After some discussion, the three decided to go eat Zhong Dumplings.

They chatted and laughed all the way, and when they were almost at the dumpling shop, Wu Meixia suddenly pointed across the street and called out to Lu Tingting.

"Tingting, look, a handsome guy is coming!"

Lu Tingting looked up and saw that it was none other than Anniversary.

"Anniversary!" She waved happily to Anniversary.

Zhou Nian stopped three steps away from her, his gaze subtly sweeping over Gao Mingchuan beside her, and smiled slightly.

What are you planning to do there?

Wu Meixia, knowing the situation, answered first: "So you two know each other? We're going to eat dumplings, why don't you come with us? Tingting's treating."

"No, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

Anniversary was gone so suddenly that Lu Tingting didn't even realize he was already far away.

Wu Meixia linked arms with her and gossiped, "So he's Zhou Nian! He's really young and promising, but he's so aloof and arrogant. He's just like your third uncle."

Lu Tingting watched as Zhou Nian's tall, slender figure gradually disappeared into the night, pursing her lips without saying a word.

Today's anniversary is very different from previous ones.

In the past, the other person had always shown tolerance and consideration, giving her a sense of warmth like a friendly older brother next door. But today, he was unusually cold and distant.
