My Promotion Story Through Time Travel

Chapter 68 Xiu Mu

"Lin Ziping, you have a day off tomorrow. What are you planning to do?" Xiao Jiazheng asked.

After half a month, it's finally time to rest. What to do? Sleep and rejuvenate, of course! Lin Ziping wished he had a bed right now where he could lie down forever.

"What are your plans, Brother Jiazheng?" Bai Xin asked Xiao Jiazheng.

“My father is coming back, so I can’t go anywhere.” Xiao Jiazheng was somewhat dejected.

Bai Xin said, "That's good. After the break, we'll know who we're working for."

"So fast? It used to take three months!" Xiao Jiazheng asked in surprise.

Lin Ziping also looked at Bai Xin.

"It's all because we did a good job catching the bandits this time. The higher-ups said they'd make arrangements in advance. Ziping, who do you want to follow?" Bai Xin asked Lin Ziping.

Lin Ziping's inner alarm bells rang again, and he smiled and said, "I'm fine with anything, I'll follow your arrangements."

"Anywhere is fine as long as it's not a military camp," Xiao Jiazheng remarked.

"why?"

“Not to mention that Inspector Chai is quite strict, those three shifts not only have to patrol in shifts, but also arrest people and collect taxes. They do all the dirty and hard work. People who came before didn’t want to go.” Xiao Jiazheng explained, “Lin Ziping, I think you’ll probably go to the clerk’s office and work with Lu Shuyin. You won’t have to go out in the wind and sun. Lu Shuyin isn’t fierce, and he’s a scholar. I heard he’ll be going to the prefectural government soon. You can take over his position.”

Lin Ziping frowned. Hearing this, he felt it was for his own benefit, but it felt strange. They were still in the county government office, and this discussion was similar to being overheard gossiping about others in the toilet. He quickly said, "We should let the higher-ups decide where we should go. We shouldn't speculate."

After saying that, Lin Ziping turned and left without saying another word.

"Pretending." Xiao Jiazheng rolled his eyes as he watched Lin Ziping's retreating figure, then looked at Bai Xin and asked, "What do you think?"

Bai Xin pondered for a moment and said, "He is right. The officials will make their own decisions."

“You…” Xiao Jiazheng was somewhat indignant.

Bai Xin sighed: "This is the county government office; you know more about the rest than I do."

After saying that, he left.

Lin Ziping didn't take Xiao Jiazheng's words to heart. He wouldn't work overtime; leaving get off work immediately after hours was the greatest respect he could show to his job.

As for what to do after the internship ends, such personnel arrangements have always been influenced by factors such as ability and the leader's regard. Being far from home and without any interpersonal connections, I can only leave it to fate. I'm more looking forward to tomorrow's rest.

On the first day of his three-day break, Lin Ziping planned to take a nap and wake up naturally, but he was awakened by a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.

Lin Ziping felt a warm flow in his lower abdomen, followed by a cool sensation on his buttocks. He was startled, then sprang up quickly, took off his pants, and saw that... the person who had been with him for more than ten years had finally arrived in another world, albeit late.

Then came another wave of chaos—there were no sanitary napkins here!!!

Lin Ziping took out a menstrual belt that he had swiped from Xiao Ya from the cabinet, frowned and studied it for a long time before he could barely use it.

He lay stiffly on the bed, motionless.

"Young master, shall you get up?" came Zhu Zi's voice from outside the door.

Lin Ziping lay on the bed without speaking or making a sound until he heard the sound of Zhu Zizi closing the door after leaving the house, at which point he slowly got up.

After going out to take a look, I found that Zhu Zi had prepared food and placed it in the kitchen, along with hot water in a pot.

Lin Ziping ate something to fill her stomach, then fetched hot water to clean herself, washed her clothes, changed into the silk skirt she had secretly prepared before, and went out.

These intimate items are all made by the women themselves, but Lin Ziping had zero needlework skills. She went to an embroidery shop and bought a basket of menstrual belts amidst the surprised looks of others, then sneakily left with them.

After changing his clothes and covering his face with a cloth to hide his mouth and nose, Lin Ziping, despite not knowing many people in Fuchun County, continued to dodge and hide along the way, afraid of being recognized.

Turning the corner, Lin Ziping's pupils dilated in surprise. Just what he feared had come true. Who else could be walking towards him on the street but Xiao Jiazheng?

Lin Ziping was secretly annoyed. Wasn't he supposed to be coming back? Why was he wandering around outside at this time?

With his mind racing, Lin Ziping straightened the cloth covering his mouth and nose, adjusted his hair to cover half his face, and walked forward calmly.

Five meters, two meters, one meter—Lin Ziping's heart nearly leaped into his throat.

The two brushed past each other and walked a short distance further. Lin Ziping slowly exhaled and relaxed.

"Hey, wait a minute." Xiao Jiazheng's voice came from behind.

Lin Ziping didn't turn around, pretending not to hear and continued walking forward.

Someone pulled on Lin Ziping's basket: "Lin Ziping?"

Lin Ziping calmed himself down, frowned, and turned around, saying, "Who are you? What do you want? Let go!"

"Lin Ziping, why are you dressed like this?" Xiao Jiazheng asked in confusion.

"Let go! You've made a mistake!" Lin Ziping shouted as he tried to pull the basket back.

At that moment, a warm flow gushed out from below, and a sharp pain shot through his abdomen—that familiar feeling! Lin Ziping gritted his teeth. It was probably because he had been drinking a couple of days ago and his nerves had been on edge that this wave of pain came so suddenly.

At this moment, the two's actions had already attracted some passersby to watch, and Lin Ziping felt that he was about to lose his composure, so he tried to pull the basket back and go back as soon as possible.

With a pull and a tug, the basket was overturned and its contents were scattered all over the ground.

Lin Ziping stared at the things on the ground, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground. Two words flashed through his mind: "Holy crap!"

Xiao Jiazheng was shocked when he saw what was on the ground. He stammered, "Miss...please forgive me."

Lin Ziping squatted down and hurriedly picked up the things and stuffed them into the basket. He stood up, glared at Xiao Jiazheng, punched him hard in the face, and ran away.

Lin Ziping was in a cold sweat when he returned to the courtyard where he lived. He tripped on the threshold as he entered the door and fell to the ground.

Lin Ziping endured the pain and closed the door. She went back to her room, changed her dress, and cleaned herself up before feeling the pain in her knees.

He rolled up his trouser leg and found that his knee was scraped and bleeding. Thinking about everything that had happened since he came to this era, Lin Ziping suddenly felt a surge of grievance and tears streamed down his face.

Lin Ziping woke up after an unknown amount of time. His stomach was not hurting as much, but it was growling with hunger. His eyes were a little swollen and there were tear stains on his face.

After tidying up briefly, Lin Ziping pushed open the door and stepped outside. The sky was ablaze with the glow of the setting sun. He paused to admire the view for a moment. Zhu Zi had found a pharmacy to study medicine and hadn't returned yet. Lin Ziping went into the kitchen and began preparing dinner.
