Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack! Chapter 125 - 124: Gifts (First Update)

Principal Zhang’s face imdiately turned red.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing more.

What could he say?

That although Gu Xiaoqing was a brave little hero, there’s a possibility of lying?

Who would believe that?

Principal Zhang’s face looked as though he had been slapped hard, looking quite ugly.

What a loss of face.

Feng Yue also stepped forward and said, "Principal, it was that female student who deliberately bumped into Gu Xiaoqing and then pulled us aside to say stuff like wearing a dragon robe doesn’t make you a crown prince, and that she was embarrassing us and making our village look bad. I can prove she was the one who said those words, even pointing her finger at Gu Xiaoqing’s nose while cursing. That’s why Gu Xiaoqing fought back."

Principal of West Peak Town awkwardly thought that his student wouldn’t lie.

This could easily lead to tension between the two principals.

Had to pull Feng Yue aside.

Whispered, "You better say less."

What does this have to do with us?

Feng Yue felt frustrated, thinking that he was wrong for telling the truth.

Principal Zhang turned his head and glared viciously at Gu Xiaofang and the others, scolding harshly, "All of you go back. After tomorrow’s exam, see how I deal with you when we get back. So young, yet learning to lie."

Gu Xiaofang and the boys, feeling humiliated, followed Principal Zhang away dejectedly.

Principal Gu and Principal Wang exchanged a bitter smile.

This is how people are; no matter where you go, there’s always this kind of setting.

This incident was quickly forgotten by Gu Xiaoqing.

Back at the inn, Gu Xiaoqing saw there was still ti and asked Principal Gu for permission to go shopping. Having made a rare trip to the county, Gu Xiaoqing wanted to buy sothing for his parents, sisters, and brother back ho, and also check out the local scene.

After all, at this ti before, I wasn’t staying in the county.

Since I plan to attend high school in the county, it would be best to have my family move here to do business and settle down.

Gu Xiaoqing felt uneasy about leaving things with Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu.

Better to stay away from trouble.

I won’t be ho.

A small slip-up and who knows who could be tricked.

Gu Xiaoqing wasn’t going to repeat past mistakes.

The best way would be to bring the whole family to live in the city.

As for big cities, Gu Xiaoqing hadn’t considered those; the houses are too expensive, and the cost of living is too high.

But the county town is different.

For people from the countryside, this place is already a heaven.

So setting up a ho here, doing so business to support the family, is feasible.

Gu Xiaoqing has confidence in this.

As long as they stay away from those so-called family mbers, Gu Xiaoqing believes their family can live well.

Principal Gu was initially worried; this place was unfamiliar with an entirely new environnt, and letting such a young child wander alone wasn’t a light responsibility if lost.

Later, several students from Principal Wang’s group also wanted to go out.

So Principal Wang approached Principal Gu.

Thus, the two principals brought a group of children out.

Everyone was very excited.

No one had been to the county town before.

Their vibrancy far exceeded that of the town.

Those tall buildings are much higher than those in town.

Much more beautiful and grand.

The streets also had cars passing by from ti to ti, as well as so small cars driving back and forth.

All of these filled the children with wonder.

Principal Gu and Principal Wang led the children to the county’s comrcial street.

This is the most bustling street in the county town.

Everywhere are shops selling clothes, shoes, many cake shops, snack shops, a variety of stores, all kinds of them.

Everyone almost couldn’t take their eyes off the sight.

Gu Xiaoqing and Feng Yue wanted to tag along.

These stores were still those old-fashioned types, lacking bright signs, just people coming and going.

At a few restaurants that looked decent, Gu Xiaoqing could see from the outside that they had many people, but the waiters carrying trays had their fingernails dipping into the food.

I definitely wouldn’t eat there.

Current restaurants were mostly state-owned, with so privately owned ones being small-scale.

It’s still the best ti for doing business.

Gu Xiaoqing bought a pair of leather shoes for his father, Gu Ruhai. Pure black leather, looking quite dignified, though Ruhai probably wouldn’t wear them, Gu Xiaoqing still wanted to buy them.

Such good leather now only costs eight yuan, truly worth it.

Also bought a maroon jacket for Li Xuei, a city trend with two pockets on the sides and a slight lapel, although Gu Xiaoqing wasn’t satisfied with the straight waist—still, it was trendy now, costing twelve yuan.

If Li Xuei were here, she definitely wouldn’t allow this purchase, thinking it’s too expensive.

A large red woolen scarf for Gu Xiaoying, not cheap either, costing five yuan.

Also bought a large bag of milk candies for Gu Xiaojie, reportedly from Shanghai, the first shop selling them here, costing three yuan.

This trip cost twenty-eight yuan altogether.

Gu Xiaoqing toured the whole comrcial street.

Got a feel for everything.

In the future, beside this street and those buildings, a food street will be developed.

By then, all sorts of restaurants and snacks will gather there.

It will be a famous food street in the county for decades to co.

But currently, it’s still filled with bungalows.

All the comrcial value hasn’t yet shown.

Initially, the housing prices here were the cheapest, and people didn’t even want to rent here, complaining about the poor location.

The storefronts were located too far back, and it was too noisy for lodging.

Gu Xiaoqing thought about it; it seed to be sothing happening two years later.

Who would think that later, they would demolish the building in front and directly open it as a county-supported venture city, establishing a food street prototype? To attract investnt, the governnt even waived three years of taxes.

Looks like I should ponder this more now.

Father’s snack stall is doing well; once I finish high school, I can persuade them to move here as well.

Then buy two bungalows; whether converting them into a restaurant or renting them out, both would be worthwhile.

Business that ensures steady profits, with no losses.

In the next two years, I’m sure parents can save quite a bit of money.

This place will be gold everywhere in the future.

Gu Xiaoqing made up his mind, along with Feng Yue and other classmates, to try the famous local sour and spicy noodles.

Everyone ate, sweating profusely, praising how delicious it was.

Only Gu Xiaoqing knew the taste was still lacking quite a bit.

Returning from the comrcial street, Gu Xiaoqing and Feng Yue went to the bathhouse, and after bathing, they rested early.

They needed to rise early tomorrow.

The exam was at eight o’clock.

Principal Gu and Principal Wang specifically reminded everyone tonight.

Gu Xiaoqing slept dreamlessly through the night until dawn. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welco to visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian to read.)
