——————
When the three cousins from the Zhang Family were about to leave, Zhang Shan Ni asked them to escort her little aunt to school when it was time for her to return.
Knowing the reason why their little cousin needed protection, the three cousins were adamant in their commitment, thumping their chests in assurance.
Since the day after tomorrow was Sunday, the day for the little aunt to return to school, the children would all follow suit and go to school as well. After that, it would be New Year’s Day.
In the short span of two days, Xie Jingzi didn’t really learn any grappling techniques, but at least she had developed an awareness. Hearing Zhang Shan Ni telling her to exercise more regularly, to gradually improve her physical fitness, was in part to keep her body healthier and in part to better face any unforeseen circumstances.
Xie Jingzi couldn’t vouch for others, but having personally gone through a kind of hopelessness and despair, she felt as if a ticking time bomb was buried in her heart. She was extremely frightened and cautious, acting as if she lacked a sense of security. Whatever the female warrior of her heart, Third Sister-in-law, said, she would follow.
The older nephews, being relatively more mature, recognized right from wrong and cherished the opportunity to gain greater strength, taking it very seriously. It might just be men’s nature to covet powerful strength and desire to dominate others.
Although Zhang Shan Ni realized the differences between this era and the world she originally came from, having the children be conscious about strengthening themselves was preferable to being weak and bullied.
In this era, there wasn’t much entertainment, and Zhang Shan Ni was also preoccupied with worrying about her man in the military, lacking the leisure to enjoy farm life.
Apart from paying close attention to Wang Xiuzhen’s condition, most of her energy was spent organizing the usable medicines and technological tools in the Space.
Wang Xiuzhen had said it would be two months later. On checking, Zhang Shan Ni found that this time would be right after the New Year, before the Lantern Festival.
At this time, her man wouldn’t be able to return home, so Zhang Shan Ni planned to go to the military base to find him.
The X military base, where he was stationed, was really far from her home, basically traveling from the south to the north.
No wonder the Xie Family members all enjoyed spicy food; turns out it was influenced by Xie Jingchen.
After all, people from G province can’t handle spiciness. The climate and geography here meant that the locals couldn’t eat spicy food regularly, as it was easy to cause heatiness.
The X military base was situated right between the borders of two regions, where the winter climate was not extremely cold, with temperatures around minus ten degrees Celsius. Taking a train from her place would require sitting for more than ten hours, depending on whether the train runs smoothly or not, not to mention the time for passengers to get on and off during the journey.
If Zhang Shan Ni wanted to go there, she would definitely be spending New Year’s over there.
X County... The military base is only about ten kilometers from the nearest village, a little further is the town, and then comes the county town, a total of one and a half hours by bus back and forth.
If driving by herself, the whole journey would take about forty to fifty minutes. This is assuming good road conditions, but since she had never actually traveled the route before, these were estimates she could only make about the distance.
Zhang Shan Ni didn’t plan on applying for any universities; she wanted medical books only for self-study, not with the intention of going back to school.
For a woman of her significant assets who has experienced the apocalypse, educational credentials truly aren’t important.
Moreover, she wasn’t interested in working a regular job. Although it might be a bit idle, it was extremely restrictive.
In her opinion, it was unnecessary to confine herself within rigid structures and live a nine-to-five life as long as she had possessions and advanced knowledge.
She was a woman who valued her freedom; a life with strict regulations, a conventional job, did not suit her.
Besides, with one man in the family already working in the military, if she were to take up a formal profession as well, who would take care of the children at home in the future?
