The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

When Chao Yao showed his hand, no one else dared to speak.

She really knows how to fight!

After being beaten like this by him, it might take ten days or half a month to recover. Who would be so stubborn as to continue to provoke her?

The body may be subdued, but the mind may not be subdued.

The seven of them hated Chao Yao even more.

In the past, their hatred was expressed on their faces, but from then on, their hatred was directed behind their backs.

Chaoyao continued to live in school as before, and it was time for winter vacation after the end of one semester.

The New Year in the countryside is extremely lively, and various customs have been preserved intact.

Chao Yao looked at the happy faces of the people and immersed himself in the festive atmosphere.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of Liu Fufeng and those children.

In the past, every Chinese New Year, she would prepare the house inside and outside to make it festive.

The family sat together and had a reunion dinner, telling each other about things happening around them and their plans for the coming year, while others listened quietly and gave some advice and help from time to time.

Now everything has changed. She has arrived in another time and space and has a different destiny.

Forget it, I don't want to.

It may also be because she has only been here for a short time, so she is still thinking about the past.

After a long time, and after traveling through more worlds, maybe you won't feel so many ups and downs in your heart.

Chaoyao quickly became friends with his family. His younger brothers and sisters especially liked the Chinese New Year. Every time the Chinese New Year came, his parents would buy them new clothes.

There is also Chaoyao.

Although these clothes are relatively cheap and of not very good quality, they are what children look forward to all year round and are the happiest thing for them.

"After studying for a year and a half, Yaoyao can go to work, right?"

A neighbor suddenly asked Chaoyao's father.

"Yeah yeah."

Having said that, Chao Yongjun couldn't help but smile.

It’s a good thing that my daughter will grow up and earn money, and the burden on the family will be reduced.

Others expressed their congratulations. For these people, having a new breadwinner in the family is something worth congratulating for the entire family.

Chao Yao listened quietly to other people chatting and did not participate.

The second sister Chaoxia and the third sister Chaoyuan gave Chaoyao each a handful of candy, which were the few New Year candies the family bought from the streets in the village.

"Big sister, have some candy."

Chao Yao took the candies from his two sisters with a smile and took out a few snacks from his pocket.

These snacks were made by the chef in her previous life. She usually eats little and only has them as a snack occasionally.

It’s quite interesting to take it out and use it to entertain my younger brothers and sisters now.

"Wow! Big sister, what is this?"

"I only bought this little snack from the city, and I saved it for you. Take it and eat it. I'll buy you more when I make more money later."

"Thank you, sis."

The two sisters ate snacks while asking about what was happening in Chaoyao City.

Chaoxia ate some snacks and asked vaguely:

"Sister, is the city better or our countryside better?"

"If we talk about life, the city might be better, after all, everything is more convenient. Everyone has their own living habits, so maybe for rural people, the countryside is better; for city people, of course the city is better. There is no comparability, because these are different living environments, and they cannot be compared. We can only say whether we live comfortably or not."

Chao Yuan nodded and agreed very much.

"Sister, you are indeed a person with good academic performance. You speak so knowledgeably. Although I don't know why, I just think what you said makes sense. I also like the countryside more. I have lived here for ten years and have long been accustomed to life in the village."

Chaoyao touched Chaoyuan's head. Her hair was a little dry and yellow, which was due to malnutrition.

"The world will never stay the same, and everyone wants to move up. There will be fewer and fewer people in the countryside, and everyone will want to move to towns and cities. The only way we can live better is to constantly adapt to the new environment."

Zhaoxia nodded and said, "I just want to go to the city. It would be best if I could live in the city forever. I heard that the city is very clean. The floors of the houses are all tiled, which are very shiny and can be wiped clean with a mop. The most important thing is that in the city we can eat snacks like the one my elder sister gave us. We have never seen these in the village."

After she finished speaking, she continued, "It must be the best in the city! But with my current grades, I may not be able to pass the exam. My eldest sister was ranked first in the school but she couldn't go to high school, let alone with such grades. When the time comes, I will go to a vocational school like my eldest sister, and graduate in two years. Then I will stay in the city and not come back."

Chao Yuan quickly retorted: "Second sister, you still have to come back. Everyone has to come back during the New Year. I still want to see you!"

"Then I'll come back to see you during the New Year."

Zhaoxia looked at Zhaoyao again, "Sister, you will continue to stay in the city in the future, right? Then I will rely on you, so that we two sisters can take care of each other."

Chaoyao smiled and nodded. Chaoxia’s grades were not good, but she was always very motivated.

If she starts a business in the future, Chaoxia will definitely be a great helper.

She has only seen a limited amount of the world now, but once she sees more of the outside world, she will grow very fast.

There are many children in the family, and if everyone helps out, things can be done quickly.

The three sisters chatted about this and that, and when the Spring Festival Gala came, the whole family sat together again and watched the unclear color TV.

Listening to crosstalk and laughing along with what’s happening on TV.

Watching the exquisite and grand dances on TV, I would smile silently.

"This guy sings well and acts well."

"The host looks very generous. You can feel his cheerfulness as soon as he opens his mouth."

The family members were commenting on the characters on TV one after another, but Chaoyao just listened and did not participate.

She didn't know what to say, and it seemed like there was nothing to comment on.

The lively New Year passed just like this.

As soon as Chao Yao opened his eyes, he began to listen to the arrangements made by his elders, such as whose house to eat this meal, whose house to eat the next meal, and which family needed help.

Everyone stood together and chatted about gossip, or discussed each other's children with others, and at certain points, they would praise each other.

Chaoyao has always been the one who does things quietly. While others are gossiping, she is cooking and adding firewood.

She never makes any comment about anyone, and if anyone asks, she will only say good things.

The vocational school started late, so after the Lantern Festival, she also went to school.

Walking on campus, she clearly felt that many people looked at her with ill intentions.

Occasionally someone would stand in the distance and point fingers at her.
