Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2024 Moving into Dazhou
It's not uncommon for elves from the Elf Forest to work and live in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Basically, all you need to do is fill out a form at the registration window and register. The Great Zhou will generally not refuse you, and the Elf Forest will not hold you back.

However, it was unprecedented for the entire family, like Jenny and his group, to go together, which prompted the staff from the Elf Forest to ask a question.

"Are you all moving to Da Zhou?"

Yes, that's right.

Jenny had clearly sorted out his thoughts long ago, and he was handling these questions with ease.

“My parents and I are going to work in Dazhou, but if we do that, my grandparents will be left in the forest and no one will take care of them. They are getting old, so we plan to take them with us to Dazhou so that it will be easier to take care of them.”

Hmm. That makes perfect sense, and the staff didn't think much of it and approved it directly.

The new apartment in the city center has been rented, and some of the large pieces of furniture that Jenny wanted to take with him were delivered to the new apartment by someone during his break last week.

At this moment, the family of five didn't need to carry much; three suitcases and three backpacks were enough to pack everything.

Originally, Jenny's plan was to simply discard some things, leave them in the old house in the village, and buy new ones in the city later. He would then come back and tidy them up when he had time.

But then he thought that he wouldn't immediately apply to become a citizen of Great Zhou; he would have to give his parents some more time.

Even if he becomes a formal citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he may not be able to find a better job immediately, so he should save every penny he can for now.

After completing the formalities and obtaining their travel permits, the family quickly bought tickets, boarded the train, and arrived in Dazhou city.

"This is it."

When the apartment door opened, Jenny's parents looked somewhat dazed.

Compared to the empty state when Jenny came to see the house, some large pieces of furniture have now been put out, mainly brought from their old house in the Elf Forest, and some from his dormitory.

Now, it does look somewhat like a home.

Their old, moldy furniture looked somewhat out of place in this brand-new apartment.

If it weren't for the fact that his family was facing financial difficulties, Jenny would definitely have replaced all of these old pieces of furniture.

To prevent the musty smell of the furniture from lingering in the house and causing an unpleasant odor right after moving in, Jenny has been keeping the windows open for ventilation.

The buildings in Da Zhou have much better moisture-proof and mildew-proof measures than those in the Elf Forest. In addition, the overall environment is not as humid as in the Elf Forest, so the old furniture is much less moldy. At least there is no obvious musty smell anymore.

Over the next few days, Jenny took leave from the quarry, mainly to help his parents find jobs.

In Da Zhou, as long as you don't get too picky, there are plenty of places that need labor, so finding a job is not difficult at all.

Jenny's father is in his prime and in good health. Back in the Elf Forest, he worked as a miner. Now, like Jenny, he works at the quarry.

Jenny had already spoken to the person in charge; once he arrived, he could start working immediately, and the father and son could look after each other. As for the mother, she wasn't strong enough to do this kind of work, but there were some assembly line factories producing daily necessities nearby, which were closer to the city center.

Jenny took his mother over to ask, and sure enough, she was hired smoothly.

After all, according to the current policies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the elves here are given some preferential treatment, and they are generally not made things difficult for.

After helping his father and mother find jobs, Jenny's next task was to show them around the area.

“There’s a small park downstairs in our apartment building where my grandparents can go for a walk and soak up the sun when they have free time. There’s also a small supermarket outside the building that has almost everything you need for daily necessities. If you want to buy something big, you’ll have to go to the mall…”

The Great Zhou Dynasty now has a very mature approach to urban planning and infrastructure construction.

The surrounding area is usually fully equipped with living facilities, and everything is designed to complement the apartment. When they make the plans, they are not just planning this one apartment, but an entire area centered around the apartment.

The design takes into account almost all the problems that residents may encounter in their daily lives, focusing on convenience so that they can move in with peace of mind and without any worries.

After checking in, Jennie and her family quickly experienced this.

At that moment, even Jenny's parents and grandparents were a little confused. From their perspective, it was hard for them to imagine how all of this could be so convenient.
It's like people who have lived in backward rural areas since birth; they don't actually feel that their daily lives are particularly inconvenient.

Because in their view, this was always how things were, until one day they moved to the city and had a comparison.

Once you've experienced this kind of convenient life, it's hard to go back.

Just like someone who is used to living in the city, when he goes back to the village during holidays, he will only stay for two or three days at most, mainly to experience or miss rural life. But if you ask him to stay for ten days or half a month, he simply cannot stay there under normal circumstances.

For the foreseeable future, the only ones who will still miss village life a little will probably be the grandparents who have nothing to do.

After all, they don't have to go to work. Besides doing some housework, they usually just take walks and sunbathe in the small park downstairs from their apartment.

Because of its size, apart from their family of elves, almost everyone living in this apartment is human.

The humans were very welcoming and polite to them, and often chatted with them, which made the grandparents very happy.

However, most of the people who come to the new district to work are young people. Young people have to work during the day, and when they get off work, they are tired and want to stay at home without moving. It is impossible to always have time to chat with them.

This means that my grandparents are still bored most of the time.

Although the elves are a long-lived race and can endure loneliness, they occasionally think about the other old men and women in the village, and even feel a little homesick.

Of course, their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are important, but the Elf Village is where they have lived for almost their entire lives, so they still have some affection for it.

"Huh? Am I seeing things? I think I see that kid Carter."

Until this day, Carter moved here with his entire family.
