Chapter 16

After telling his family, Xu Youning took his little cousin to the small fishing village. There is no direct bus from Xingfuli to the small fishing village. The tram from Haishi can only take you half the way, and you have to walk the other half.

After the siblings got off the car, they walked towards the small fishing village. Xu Youning had long legs. In order to take care of her little cousin, she looked around while walking. It's winter now, and it's impossible to see birds singing and flowers blooming on the road. There's even unmelted snow on the roadside.

She walked over with brisk steps, then clicked and stepped on the snow.

The corners of Liu Yiyi's mouth twitched: "Sister, has my snow offended you? It's pretty, clean and white. You put two big footprints on it."

"It ruins my sense of beauty."

"Yeah." Xu Youning said in a serious tone. He nodded casually, with a sinister expression on his face: "You don't know, there is a little devil living in my heart. I want to destroy beautiful things when I see them. Because I have been caught in the rain, I want to tear up other people's umbrellas." "

She thought her little cousin would be frightened by her, but the next moment her hand was held by him: "Hey, I don't believe it. Sister, don't try to lie to me, I'm not a child anymore. I won't be fooled."

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Xu Youning pretended to sigh: "You will know after we get along for a long time, I am not a good person."

Liu Yiyi thought about it . He was a little tangled, his face wrinkled, and it took him a while before he said seriously: "If a good person wants to be bullied, then sister, I hope you will be a bad person."

Xu Youning was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled.

"Don't worry, even for our little one, I won't become a bad guy."

Liu Yi smiled instantly, took Xu Youning's hand and shook it: "My sister and I are the best in the world."

" I am also the best in the world."

Liu Yiyi became even happier and turned into a little fool.

Not far away, someone saw the siblings talking and laughing. After hearing what the two people said, they unconsciously laughed too.

**

The two siblings hurriedly hurried along and arrived at the small fishing village when it started to get dark.

The small fishing village where the Ning family is located was called Zhang Village before it was renamed, because the whole village was originally filled with people named Zhang, and now more than half of the heads of households are named Zhang. Later, when they had a big pot meal, Zhangcun changed its name to Huarong Brigade, which symbolizes the prosperity of China.

However, both the natives of the small fishing village and Xu Youning prefer to be called Zhangcun.

Although the Ning family has a foreign registered residence in Zhangcun, when Grandpa Ning settled down in Zhangcun, he also divided the land for the homestead. Later, when the land was returned to the public, the land was returned, but the homestead was still there. Grandpa Ning, in particular, had the foresight to find not only the homestead of their husband and wife, but also Ning Zhizhi’s homestead in the village. Because Grandpa Ning, his wife and Ning Zhizhi were both martyrs, and they built the house with their own money, so even though Xu Youning was the only one left now, the village still transferred two pieces of land to her.

The foundations of the two houses are quite large, and Grandpa Ning’s house has a complete yard. However, no one has lived in it for so many years. Even though Ning Zhiyan’s family often comes over to help clean and grow vegetables in the yard, it is difficult to resist the decline of the house. .

The original owner used to live in the old house for a while when he returned to the village, and now he is familiar with the house. But when we returned to the village, we still had to visit Ning Zhiyan's family first. However, before they arrived at Ning Zhiyan's house, they were spotted by Ning Tiandong and Ning Banxia, who were carrying buckets home.

Ning Banxia let go of the hand holding half of the barrel and ran to Xu Youning: "Cousin, Yiyi."

Liu Yiyi also ran to Ning Banxia: "Banxia, we came to play with you."

The two children were holding hands and jumping around happily. Xu Youning looked amused, then glanced at Ning Tiandong who was carrying a bucket, and hurriedly went over to help him.

Ning Tiandong did not refuse, and shouted with a smile: "Cousin, you are really lucky. I thought Banxia and I were lucky today, but now that we see this is Haihuo, everyone knows that you and Yiyi are coming. They've specially given us a bumper harvest."

After hearing this, Xu Youning also took a look and saw the sea fish, sea cucumbers, and two octopuses with their teeth and claws in the bucket. She immediately smiled: "Auntie planted some leeks. I'll ask her to make fried octopus with leeks later."

"Yes." Ning Tiandong nodded affirmatively: "My mother's leeks are growing well. She grows them in a wooden frame, so she is afraid they will freeze at night. She even moved it to the kitchen when it was snowing and cold."

Ning Tiandong was very happy: "My mother also planted some chicken feathers and said you like to eat them. She originally said she would send them to you in a few days, but no. I thought you would go back to the village first."

Xu Youning was also happy. Although her space has been arranged for workers to grow her favorite vegetables, this is Zhang Xuemei's intention. It feels very satisfying to have someone care about this kind of thing all the time. She was moved.

At this moment, Liu Yiyi and Ning Banxia were also chasing after them. The two children were chattering around Xu Youning. The older sister and the younger sister were surrounded by Xu Youning. Although it was very lively,...

Xu Youning felt that his head suddenly felt a little buzzing. .

The system's brain was also buzzing, and its milky voice was full of collapse:

——The little human cubs are really scary.

Its host is not a social terror yet.

What if its host has its own cub in the future?

Chapter 17

The arrival of Xu Youning and Liu Yiyi was warmly welcomed by their uncle's family. The octopus picked up by Ning Tiandong and Ning Banxia were fried with leeks that night, fresh sea fish were also cooked, and crabs were made into two pieces. My personal favorite is spicy crab. Because Xu Youning brought rice and noodles, he still had rice for dinner.

Nowadays, there are no pressure cookers or rice cookers, so Zhang Xuemei cooks rice.

Xu Youning especially likes to eat rice soup that has been cooked with rice. She is a sweetie, and sugar is added to the rice soup. She can drink two bowls of the thick rice soup. Liu Yiyi is also a sweetie, but he adds honey. On the contrary, Ningtiandong and Ningbanxia rice soup is added with spicy oil and slag peas, and home-made shredded pickled cabbage.

The debate between salty and sweet has existed throughout the ages, and now people with different tastes still have to argue about what they eat.

However, this scene has never happened in the Ning family, mainly because they have argued more than once before. So far, no one has lost, but no one has won. Anyway, no one can convince anyone. Later, I became numb and chose to eat my own food.

"Auntie, your chicken vegetable is really tender."

"Haha, it's tender. This is the first meal, and it's all small sprouts." Zhang Xuemei was extremely proud: "Aning, the method you said is really effective. , We also have a lot of vegetables to eat in winter. If we put them on the kang in the north and take out the vegetables..."

At this point, she realized that she was talking nonsense, and she felt a little embarrassed after talking. Naughty.

Xu Youning pretended that she didn't understand, smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yeah, it's good to exchange it with someone for something else, and exchange what you have."

"That's right." Zhang Xuemei nodded quickly: "Just exchange what you have. , Just exchange what you have."

Seeing this scene, Ning Zhiyan couldn't help but laugh. In fact, if we talk about it seriously, although Ning Zhiyan is Grandpa Ning's adopted son, his current conditions are indeed good. He went to school before. During the war, at a young age, he helped Grandpa Ning and others transport supplies, and also protected our comrades. He was also considered a revolutionary.

Zhang Xuemei was the youngest daughter of the village chief. She was a bit fiery and carefree. She was not the kind of girl that most people liked at that time. She is not as gentle as water, nor is she virtuous and gentle. It can be said that having such a little girl makes the village chief and his family worried.

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhiyan and Zhang Xuemei fell in love with each other. In a blink of an eye, they had been married for more than ten years and had two children. The relationship between the couple was quite good, and they could be called a model couple.

Xu Youning was a little envious. Before time travel, her grandparents, parents, and her parents were also a very close couple, but good people don't live long, and she was left alone in the end.

She lowered her eyes, hiding the envy in her eyes.

That night, Xu Youning and Liu Yiyi slept at Ning Zhiyan's house. The house in the countryside is more spacious than in the city, and the Ning family has many rooms. Liu Yiyi liked to join in the fun at a young age and went to sleep with Ning Tiandong, while Xu Youning slept in a separate room by himself.

Although there was no preparation in advance, the bedding in the room had been washed, dried and put away by Zhang Xuemei before. She is diligent and nimble, and she would wash and dry her clothes when there is sunshine. Now there is still a faint smell of sunshine in the quilt.

Well, when it comes to burial spots, it is the smell of dead mite corpses.

But...it smells pretty good.

Xu Youning washed up, lay down on the bed and rolled around a few times, and then he entered his own space with satisfaction.

From the time she got this space to now, she has only been in the space for a short time, not more than two days in total. The main reason is that the big housekeeper in the space is really very capable, and she doesn’t know what the roots of those little cuties in her previous life are. When I was a paper figurine, I gave the big housekeeper a lot of brains and loyalty. Even though he was smart, he was also extremely loyal and would

do whatever .

Giving such a large space to the housekeeper, she only needs to control the overall situation, which is very worry-free.

Now that the original food crops and fruits in the space have been harvested and stored in the warehouse, new crops have been planted on the ground. The only problem is that after these new crops are harvested, her space warehouse will be more than half full. If you plant something again, you won’t know where it will go.

She walked around the space warehouse a few times, looking at the things inside with some sadness. Now that she has not come up with the special value of the Miasma-Breaking Pill, from the perspective of her own interests and that of the Xu family, she must first replace the Miasma-Breaking Pill to cure Xu Minghua. Spiritual spring water is also very important. Compared with people in later generations, people today are really suffering from physical problems. Even if the conditions of the Xu Jianing family are good, there will definitely be some hidden diseases left on the elders.

She can rely on her Marrow Cleansing Pill, and she won't die for the time being anyway, but the first two must not be allowed.

Thinking of this, Xu Youning sighed slightly: "It seems that what my patriotic brain can defeat is my love brain."

- You can't say that.

The system suddenly made a sound, and the voice was sweet and comforting:

- As the old saying goes, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety since ancient times, everyone can understand it. Host, you have done a lot, don’t blame yourself too much.

——It doesn’t matter whether you transfer or not. Even if you don’t travel through time, the countries in this world will make great strides forward. In the future, they will still be very powerful and powerful, and they will be prosperous countries.

"Don't think so much, I don't have emo."

System:? ? ?

No, host, what's wrong with you?

Xu Youning looked at the things in the warehouse, thinking about how to get a batch to donate first, but she was not in a hurry now. She had all the things she needed to prepare, otherwise she was afraid of exposing her secrets. It's just that... the final destination may not be what she thought.

She sighed and walked away with her hands behind her back.

system:? ? ?

No, there's something wrong with that.

**

Xu Youning's worries never stayed overnight. Even if she was still thinking about how to send the extra food out the night before and thought about her bald head, the next day she could still pick up a wooden shovel, a hatchet, and a bucket to follow her cousins. We went to the beach to catch the sea behind us.

At first, she felt that there was something wrong with going to sea in winter. The cold wind was blowing so hard that she would freeze like a fool in the village in no time. But when we really started to catch the sea, the feeling of cold wind was gone.

The group of people were wearing rain boots specially made of thick velvet, and the trouser legs were all stuffed into the rain boots. Even though the shoes did not fit their feet, they were really warm, not to mention that the four of them were having fun at the beach, and everything they saw was A swarm of swarms rushed over, shouting, jumping and clapping excitedly. They were always in a state of excitement. They were still young, so they really didn’t feel much coldness. Anyway, Xu Youning saw Liu Yiyi. Her face was a little red with excitement.

There are really not many people going to sea at this time. There may be a shortage of people in small fishing villages, but the harvest is never short. If you don’t want to have a fresh bite, few people will harvest it so early and so cold. If you run out to catch the sea, more often you go out to sea to fish.

This was an advantage for Xu Youning and the four of them. They were like mice in a rice barn, curious about everything they saw.

Xu Youning was born two generations ago and was a little older, but he was still a little excited when he saw two large yellow croakers in the shallow water of the reef area. She hurriedly waved to the others: "Come on, come on, there are fish."

After hearing this, Liu Yiyi and the other three who were still picking up crabs, small sea fish and small shellfish came over quickly and saw two large yellow croakers. They couldn't help but say "Wow".

Ning Tiandong looked envious: "Cousin, you are very lucky."

Along the way, his cousin really picked up a lot of good things. Being lucky is simply unscientific. It is really like a lucky doll, with all the good things. Jump into her arms.

Xu Youning also felt that her good luck was a bit abnormal, but her luck has been very good since time travel, so she didn't take it to heart. Instead, she smiled and said, "Then I will take you to eat and drink." "

Okay.

"Having fun with my cousin." The

three little kids cheered happily, and their voices attracted the attention of other people who came to join in the fun.

Someone strolled over and looked at the bucket: "Hey, this is a good harvest."

Ning Tiandong grinned, but what he said was hard to understand: "This is because we have a guest at our house. Here's our gift."

The villagers who came over laughed and pointed at Liu Yiyi: "This is a guest. Aning is not a guest. Aning is one of our own."

In the eyes of many villagers, Xu Youning is their little one . The people in the fishing village are their own people.

Ning Tiandong didn't argue. On the contrary, he was very happy that the villagers would think so. Otherwise, if he had brought people to catch the sea and picked up such good things, he would be afraid that people would be greedy.

The villagers who came to join in the fun also knew that he was worried and patted him angrily: "Grandpa Aning has helped us so much. We are not the kind of heartless people."

As he said this, he glanced at Xu Youning : "

Aning , go back to your uncle's house before you leave. I'll ask your aunt to pack some hairtail for you. Your aunt also dried kelp and shrimp skin. Take some with you when you go back and make soup." The person called 'Seventh Uncle' was familiar, and he was very polite at the moment: "Thank you uncle, I will go to your house to find your aunt later."

After hearing this, Seventh Uncle happily joined in the fun with them, and finally watched After Xu Youning's good luck, he felt a little numb.

When someone goes to sea, large yellow croakers, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins are all found in nests?

So many stranded fish? These fish are too stupid, why don't they have such good luck?

Uncle Seven was in a complicated mood. When he finally left, Xu Youning forcefully stuffed a large yellow croaker and an octopus into his mouth.

Their good luck also attracted many people who had not planned to join in the fun. Suddenly, there were many people on the beach carrying small shovels and buckets to rush to the sea. In the small fishing village, people ranging from ninety-nine to just walking can basically grow up by the sea. When it comes to chasing the sea, ten Xu Younings can't compare to a three-year-old child, but when it comes to luck, thirty children No child can compare to Xu Youning.

However, Xu Youning is not a stingy person. Although this is Ning Zhizhi's hometown, she now has a city registered residence. Even if most of the villagers regard her as one of their own, some will be sour and jealous.

Human nature is what it is and cannot be criticized.

Xu Youning feels that 98% of the people in the small fishing village are very good, but there are always outliers. Neither the original owner nor she wants to cause trouble to her, so now when Xu Youning has gained a lot, she will also bring Take the other children to catch the sea together.

The children shouted excitedly, and Ning Tiandong also took Ning Banxia and Liu Yiyi to send their harvest home first.

Xu Youning took a group of children from the village to walk around the beach and look around. When there was something available, he would call the children over and help them dig together from time to time. The atmosphere was very good.

The parents of children who followed not far away to watch the fun also had smiles on their faces. Some couldn't help joking with their peers: "A-Ning is already a big girl. I didn't expect to be able to play with a group of boys and girls. Look at this." Crazy, if Zhizhi was still here, I would definitely not dare to admit it. "

Zhizhi, how could you let it go in the first place.

Chapter 18

Xu Youning played with other children in the village until lunch before leaving with his younger siblings. When they left, the buckets carried by the siblings were almost full again.

When she got home, Zhang Xuemei disposed of the seafood: "These are all fresh and can't be put away. I'll make them dry goods for you, so you can just take them with you when you leave tomorrow. I'll let Tiandong and the others do it tomorrow morning." Go to the sea and bring you some money."

"Don't be afraid, let your uncle drive you back."

The small fishing village does not rely entirely on fishing, but still has to farm, so there are livestock in the village. Now is not the busy time for farming. As long as you pay some money to the village and feed the animals, you can borrow the village's animals. You can borrow a donkey or an ox if you want, it just depends on yourself.

Normally, Ning Zhiyan and the others would not borrow animals from the village when they went to the Xu family, but Zhang Xuemei thought that her niece and Liu Yiyi would have to bring so many things back. The winter was cold and far away, so the two children were not allowed to suffer like this. .

"Okay." Xu Youning did not refuse, nodded and agreed, and then said: "Auntie, in a week you will ask uncle to drive to my mother's house. I contacted him in Heilongjiang Province when I was leaving the car this time. A person from the mountains can provide me with a batch of food and meat."

Zhang Xuemei's eyes lit up when she heard about meat: "Meat?"

Xu Youning nodded: "Not from the mountains. "It's sold by the meat factory."

"Hey, I don't care if it's from the meat factory. There's so little meat now, so it's good to have meat." Zhang Xuemei waved her hands indifferently. It didn't matter whether the meat was from the mountain or not. From the meat factory. Although there is no shortage of meat in their small fishing village, it is all fish, shrimps and crabs from the sea, which is different from the pigs, cows and sheep running on the ground. Moreover, if you eat too much fish, shrimp and crab, it will taste boring, and there is a bit of lard when cooking, which really doesn’t make it fragrant.

Although their family's conditions are relatively good, they don't have enough meat every day. If they can eat it two or three times a month, they are considered a wealthy family in the village.

To be honest, the fish in their village also have to be sold to the purchasing station, but most of what they get is just money, and tickets are relatively small, let alone scarce things like meat tickets. The tickets I gave you last time were actually urine tickets. Who are you trying to eliminate? Who in the village is still short of urine? Are they short of urine? What is missing is obviously urea. Urea is such a good thing, but instead of getting more of it for their village, they end up with some weird stuff.

If that doesn't work, it would be a good idea to issue some industrial coupons.

It's a pity that these captains' words don't count, it depends on what kind of tickets are given above.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuemei couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It would be great if her Tiandong and Pinellia family could also eat national food in the future.

**

Xu Youning went to a familiar house in the village in the afternoon and returned with some defective towels, soap and brown sugar in exchange for a lot of dry goods. The next morning, I went out to catch the sea and caught a lot of fresh seafood.

Ning Zhiyan borrowed the village's ox cart to pull the two of them back. There was also a dung bag hung next to the ox cart for picking up cow dung.

The siblings didn't get on the car and walked with Ning Zhiyan. The ox cart only carried their luggage and the 'specialties' they brought from the village. You live in a bucket, and from time to time you can hear the sound of water in the bucket as the seafood moves around. Afraid of splashing water, the dry goods were wrapped in tarpaulin, and even the fresh vegetables given by Zhang Xuemei nearby were covered, for fear of being frozen on the road.

"You have to eat these vegetables as soon as you get back. It's too cold to keep them."

Xu Youning nodded: "I know, I'll fry them when I get back."

"Fried eggs with leeks, and let grandma fry the leafy vegetables with lard. They are very fragrant." Liu Yiyi was excited. He came up with an idea, his little face flushed with excitement, and his eyes were full of greed.

Ning Zhiyan looked amused and coaxed him: "Open it and eat it. If you want to eat later, come to uncle and get it. There are still some at home."

Liu Yiyi hit the snake and put it on the stick, and looked up at Ning Zhiyan with a smile: "Thank you, uncle."

He has a good relationship with Xu Youning, and he always follows Xu Youning to call people from the Ning family. The Ning family also likes this little guy, and they usually treat him as their own nephew, and the relationship is quite good. Now Liu Yiyi is not at all reserved when talking to him, but dares to make small jokes.

"I'll learn from my aunt later."

"Just come." Ning Zhiyan patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "If your sister is not free, find someone to give me a message and I will pick it up." You."

"Okay, I'll go see Brother Tiandong and Banxia to play in a while."

After the two of them talked, Ning Zhiyan started to tell Xu Youning again. He learned from Zhang Xuemei that Xu Youning had a way to get food and meat in the Heilongjiang province. He also knew that although this niece was not talkative, she had a stable temperament and would not do things that she was unsure of, so she wanted to do something about Xu Youning. He would not say no to food and meat. It's just that as an elder, you have experienced a lot, so you still have to give advice.

Xu Youning also listened patiently, nodding in agreement from time to time. Only Liu Yiyi's eyes were rolling while listening.

Although there was nothing going on at home in winter, Ning Zhiyan didn't waste much time and sent the two of them to Xu's house in Xingfuli. After having a cup of tea to relax, they left with the things prepared by Grandma Xu.

Xu Youning sent the person to the door. After watching the person disappear around the corner, she turned back to the yard and entered the kitchen.

In Xu Youning's impression, Grandma Xu's world is the kitchen. As a cook in a state-owned hotel, she didn't say that she didn't want to cook after work. On the contrary, she didn't like others to make trouble in the kitchen. At most, she would ask others to help.

Xu Youning and Liu Yiyi were specially responsible for helping Grandma Xu light the fire. The two of them almost burned Yang Paifeng when they started the fire.

She sneaked into the kitchen, and sure enough she saw Grandma Xu tinkering with her 'baby' behind the stove again.

When I got closer, I saw a sour smell.

Xu Youning took two steps back: "Grandma, is the pickled cabbage this time particularly sour?"

"It has to be so sour to taste delicious."

Xu Youning was shocked and disagreed: "The ones I ate before were not so sour. This one will kill your teeth."

Seeing her wrinkled face, Grandma Xu couldn't help but laugh: "You'll know when I make it for you tonight. It's delicious. Your grandpa loves it. This bite."

Xu Youning understood. Whether it tastes good or not is not the point. The point is that her grandfather likes to eat it.

"Don't be stunned, go dig some flour and bring it here. Let's eat pickled cabbage buns tonight." Grandma Xu directed her granddaughter who was lighting the fire: "Go and let Yiyi come over and light the fire for me, and I'll fry some stuffing for the buns."

After that, she asked again: "Do you want to eat Jiang Xiaoyu?"

"Yes!" Xu Youning immediately turned around to dig out the noodles.

Most of the fine grains of the Xu family are placed in the small granary. Xu Youning held the basin and asked, "Grandma, how much flour do you need to put in?"

"For the dipper that digs flour, you dig three scoops. We will make more today. Tomorrow you and a group of I'll give some to your aunt as soon as I go, and tell your aunt on the way to see if I can get some nice-colored cloth. If so, get some. I'll make you two sets of clothes later."

"Big girl's house. Everyone at home has already gone to work. They usually wear uniforms when they go to work, but they can still wear something nice and bright when they are at home and when they go out." When Grandma Xu said this, she had a big opinion on Xu Youning: "Look at it. You don’t look like a little girl who loves beauty at all.”

Xu Youning was silent and extremely helpless: "Grandma, how many brightly colored clothes are there now? Even if there were, I wouldn't dare to wear them out. Look at me, I look so good-looking. I'm not waiting for people to notice me if I'm dressed too beautifully." " Although

our family's conditions are good,

we have to be careful." Grandma Xu thought for a while, and then said, "Then I'll make two for you to wear on a blind date.

" "

No, grandma, I'm only sixteen. Do you have any misunderstanding about me? I really don't hate getting married!"

Grandma Xu ignored her and waved her hand to let her go dig the noodles, while she went to find a noodle starter: "Don't forget to call Yi Yi in to light the fire for me."

"I got it."

Xu Youning carried the basin and dug out the noodles. Went to meet, and when passing by the corridor, she saw Liu Yiyi in the yard, and she called out casually: "Yiyi, go to the kitchen to light the fire, grandma is going to make pickled cabbage buns."

Liu Yiyi, who was idle and bored, immediately got up and took pictures. Clapping his hands: "Here we come."

"What were you doing just now? Wasn't it peeing and making dumplings made of mud?"

Liu Yiyi was so angry that his sister jumped on his feet: "...I didn't do that when I was three years old!"

Xu Youning laughed and ran away in a flash.

She couldn't help but run away. She was afraid of being beaten after telling her about her little cousin's dark history.

Grandma Xu in the kitchen listened to the noisy granddaughter and grandson. She smiled and shook her head: "How old you are, you are still like a child."

That is what she said, but her granddaughter and grandson have a good relationship, and she is still very happy. Happy. Everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious. She does not favor boys over girls, but it is good for a girl's granddaughter to have brothers and sisters to help her. Otherwise, with a figure and appearance like her granddaughter's, a house and a job, I don't know how many people have bad intentions. People are thinking about her.

Yiyi grew up with Aning since childhood. Needless to say, the relationship between the two of them is natural. Ahyi and Zhenzhen also protect their younger siblings. She is quite relieved about the third generation of her family. The only thing she worries about is that she has been growing up since childhood. It’s the eldest grandson who was kidnapped.

Thinking of Xu Changan, the smile on Grandma Xu's face fell again.

**

At the same time, Aunt Xu also came back with two pieces of brightly colored cloth. One was apricot and the other was floral. They were both defective products from the factory. Some of them she bought with her own quota, and some she bought with someone else's quota. She cobbled together and managed to get two pieces together, but with this effort, she no longer had to think about getting cloth from the factory in the short term.

But the problem is not big. She works in a cotton spinning factory and can still get some cloth all year round. Not to mention that her daughter-in-law Lin Hui works as a salesperson and has more connections than others.

Xu Zhen was at home during the winter vacation and was a little surprised when she saw the cloth brought back by Aunt Xu: "Mom, why did you bring so much cloth back?"

"Isn't Aning working now? She is a big girl now, so I thought about making two sets of clothes for her. "Aunt Xu put the two pieces of cloth on the chair as she said, "It happens to be of bright color, and it looks good on her."

Xu Zhen didn't like it, but came over to give her ideas enthusiastically, and then said, "Mom, ah. Ning definitely won't like this floral one, it's too fancy. But this apricot-colored Aning will like it. Why don't you use this to make her dress, forget it."

"What do you know?" Aunt Xu patted her angrily: "Little girls, they have to wear brighter clothes."

Xu Zhen: "...This is too bright!"

"Aning is good-looking, she can hold it down. "

Xu Zhen: "..."

Xu Zhen was convinced.

"You go and cook. I'll take advantage of this time to cut out the clothes and wait for you to send them over tomorrow."

"Okay." Xu Zhen nodded and continued cooking.

But she didn't expect that before she even went to deliver clothes to Xu Youning, Xu Youning had already brought Liu Yiyi over with a bag of pickled cabbage buns and some dried seafood.

Xu Youning also didn't expect that before she asked her aunt to make cloth for her, her aunt had already made clothes for her.

"I told you that you wouldn't like this floral pattern, but my mother didn't believe it." Xu Zhen made a cup of malted milk for each of the two of them, and leaned against the door frame to make trouble for Aunt Xu: "This little floral pattern is really stupid. "

The little cousin had a different opinion: "I think it looks good. "

It has both flowers and leaves. How beautiful it is."

Xu Youning was speechless looking at the two siblings who were arguing again. She took the floral dress and compared it with herself. The size was quite suitable. Thinking about it, Aunt Xu usually made a lot of clothes for the original owner. Aunt Xu was very handy and had a sewing machine at home. It was easy for her to go to work, but she only had the time to do busy work after get off work. Not only the original owner, but also most of Liu Yiyi's clothes were made by Aunt Xu.

Neither Xu Zhen nor Liu Yiyi could convince the other. They both turned to look at Xu Youning: "Sister (A Ning), tell me."

Xu Youning: "..."

Chapter 19

Xu Youning worked two more shifts and ushered in the Chinese New Year.

Now is the "revolutionary Spring Festival", there will be no holiday during the Spring Festival. It's not just the railway system. Every worker in the Xu family doesn't have a holiday during the Chinese New Year. But Xu Youning is lucky. She happens to be off duty during the Chinese New Year and can stay at home to celebrate the New Year. But this also means that most of the work at home has to fall on her and Liu Yiyi. Cleaning and sanitation are all basic operations. The difficult thing is to grab various New Year supplies.

During the past few days at home, Xu Youning felt that he had no rest.

But Liu Yiyi was not too panicked. When he saw his sister, he called her: "Sister, let's go."

Xu Youning sighed, put the basket on his back, picked up the bag and pushed it on the bicycle: "Can we really do it?"

"It has to be done even if it doesn't work. "Liu Yiyi pulled her clothes out: "Let's go, we are already very late."

During the Chinese New Year, there are more supplies than usual. For example, there are fruits from the south and mushrooms from the northeast. Mountain products and seafood are also available in larger quantities than usual. In this era of shortage of supplies, even if it costs a little more, as long as there is supply, more people will be willing to buy it. Otherwise, why would there still be high-priced items on the black market?

Xu Youning locked the door and patted the back seat: "I'll jump in later."

"Understood."

Liu Yi nodded, watching Xu Youning ride away, he jogged a few steps, supported the car and jumped in skillfully. The eight-year-old child was already a little heavy. Xu Youning almost lost his grip on the handlebars, and the car twisted a few times before it was right.

Liu Yiyi screamed in fright, fearing that he would fall off the car: "Sister, sister, be careful, or we both fall."

"Don't worry, it won't happen. I know it."

Liu Yiyi With a sad face: "I don't know."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, if I fall, I will be at the bottom, and I will never fall to you."

Liu Yiyi: "..."

Then I won't have to be beaten more?

He sat on the back seat of his bicycle with his heart in his hands, and when he arrived at his destination, he immediately jumped off the bicycle and prepared to queue up. Xu Youning grabbed him with quick eyes and hands: "You watch the car, I'll queue up."

"I'm lucky!"

Liu Yiyi hesitated for a moment, then took the bicycle: "I'll wait for you, sister."

His sister was lucky, she came back yesterday Finally, I went out with my family's food book and bought all the food and meat for this month. Today, the main thing is that a new batch of supplies arrived at the department store, and tomorrow there will be new supplies at the grocery store.

Liu Yiyi was waiting aside while pushing his bicycle. The queue in the department store was moving slowly, and he would stamp his feet from time to time.

Xu Youning stood in line with eyes blank, and his mind arranged for the housekeeper to handle the output in the space. There were many fish in the fish pond that had grown up. There was really no shortage of aquatic products in Haishi. Previously, Xu Youning produced a fish in Heilongjiang Province. Batch, I still have quite a few on hand now.

He had a large amount of supplies in his hand, but he had to do it secretly every time he wanted to use it. Xu Youning was also a little irritated.

The growth of things in the spirit house space is the same as in the real world, but it is really too big to hold it. With a thousand acres of land, thousands of acres of orchards, huge fish ponds, and vast breeding farms, the output inside is astonishing.

Let’s put it this way, we have to pick up thousands of chicken and duck eggs every day. Although it won't break if placed in the space warehouse, but... now in order to grab two kilograms of eggs, she has to turn a human head into a dog's head, which makes her feel sour and happy.

Nothing else, it’s just that the gap is too big.

There were too many people. Liu Yiyi stood aside pushing his bicycle, keeping his eyes on Xu Youning. His sister seemed to be distracted in the crowd, but strangely, when the crowd moved, his sister also moved, closely following the person in line in front of her, not falling behind at all.

Liu Yiyi: "..."

This skill is awesome.

Xu Youning, who was so arrogant, had good luck. Because there were too many people, they were afraid of causing a stampede, so the staff of the department store also arranged experienced people to stop people at the door of the department store and let them in batch by batch.

Xu Youning felt that she had not waited long before she arrived. When she entered the department store, she bought the special supplies for the New Year with a clear purpose. Seeing that she still had bills and money in her hand, and there were other supplies on the counter, she immediately paid for it. I bought two more pounds of brown sugar and two pounds of white rabbit. Chicken cakes are also available, but Xu Youning is not tempted. When she came back last time, she went to find bricks and mud, and asked her grandfather and uncle to help her make a bread kiln. If she wanted to have snacks during the New Year, she could bake them herself.

She didn't need the bright red cloth, but she bought it. Wherever the material of this color is placed, there are a lot of people rushing to get it, and it will be used one day. You know, even if Aunt Xu works in a cotton spinning factory, it is very difficult to get bright red cloth. After all, everyone wants it.

She bought her things and squeezed out of the crowd with large and small bags. Liu Yiyi immediately pushed the bicycle over, and the two of them put the purchased items into their backpacks together, and then pushed the bicycle to the grocery store and vegetable store.

Xu Youning didn't waste any money on buying dried seafood from the grocery store. He bought a piece of freshwater fish that was supplied during the Chinese New Year, some tempeh, sesame oil and balsamic vinegar.

Most of the vegetables supplied in the vegetable store were potatoes, radishes and cabbage. Xu Youning didn't mind it and bought this month's supply before taking Liu Yiyi home.

"Yiyi, I have to go out. You can pack the things you bought at home."

Liu Yiyi ate the white rabbit his sister gave him and looked up blankly: "Aren't you finished buying everything you want?

" I just went out for a walk. "When she was alone in the past, she always had instant noodles or frozen dumplings to entertain herself during the Chinese New Year, but this time she didn't think so. In her first year here, And with a family who loves her, she doesn't want to live a simple life.

Although, the Xu family's New Year may be considered prosperous in the eyes of others.

"You raise the fish, don't die."

Liu Yiyi has always been suppressed by Xu Youning's bloodline, and after hearing this, he could only nod with a flat mouth.

When Xu Youning saw that he agreed, he turned around and left. Before going out, he even locked the courtyard door from outside.

Liu Yiyi: "..."

He won't sneak away.

Xu Youning didn't care so much, and quickly left Xingfuli to take the tram back to the house at the train station. Probably because it's close to the train station, the black market there is much larger than the black market in Xu's area, and there are more and richer things bought and sold there. Now that the New Year is approaching, the black market is much busier than before. But similarly, there are a lot more people patrolling.

Now that Thousands of People and Thousand Faces have not yet been obtained, even the Miasma Breaking Pill is still short of two special values, so Xu Youning can only rely on his own efforts.

Soon, a girl who was dressed a little rustically, with a lot of patches on her clothes, her face was a little red and peeling from the cold, and there were freckles on her face next to her nose, appeared around the black market.

Before entering the alley, a dark-skinned and honest-looking farmer stood next to two old men playing chess, acting as a strategist.

Seeing someone coming, the black man stretched out his hand to stop him: "Buy or sell?" "

Sell."

"Two cents."

Xu Youning: "..."

Is this really the case with price increases during the New Year? It usually sells for 10 cents and buys for 5 cents. Now the selling price has doubled. But there is no other way. At this time, I have to bow my head. Besides, after the black market has collected money, it doesn't mean that I will do nothing. Not to mention that when the patrol comes, the people from the black city will remind them. It is said that the boss of this black city has someone. Usually the patrol people will turn a blind eye to this black city and just pass by. . It is also for these reasons that Xu Youning usually comes here when he comes to the Black Market after returning to Haishi.

Safety!

She sighed inwardly, paid two cents, and at the black man's signal, carried her big basket on her back into the alley of the black market.

After entering the alley, Xu Youning looked around, found a place and put the backpack he was carrying on the ground. He opened the backpack and the newspaper covering the basket, revealing the chicken, duck and fish in the basket and the eggs in the basket.

This thing would be quite explosive on the black market.

Sure enough, after she opened the newspaper, a group of people gathered around and started asking the price.

"Pork is worth two pieces per pound, chicken is worth five pieces per pound, duck is worth six pieces per pound, and fish is worth one piece per pound."

"Eggs are worth $1.2 per pound, and duck eggs are worth $1.5."

"Any ticket is fine."

Xu Youning felt that he was very conscientious, and all The prices of the items have only doubled, and there is no stipulation on which type of ticket will be used.

"If you don't have a ticket, add 50 cents more."

Emotional headline system: ...

- Host, your price is simply poverty alleviation. I used to read novels where some people sell things in the black market, and a pound of meat costs five or six yuan. , and in the end, you only doubled it. Your plot is going in the wrong direction. Why don’t you earn 100 million first?

Xu Youning took out the newspaper with the price she had written in advance, weighed it out, and replied in her heart: "I am not short of food, drink, and money. This is my hobby."

After saying that, she squatted down to deal with the purchase. stuff people. There is no shortage of people to bargain with at any time, but Xu Youning feels that she is quite conscientious, so she will not bargain with the price at all. Besides, all the things she brings out are good. If you don't buy this, you will still buy that. The aunt who originally wanted to bargain saw that one was buying a chicken and the other was buying two kilograms of meat. Now she no longer asked Xu Youning to make it cheaper. She was ready to reach out to get the meat for Xu Youning to weigh.

Xu Youning stretched out her hand to stop her: "Aunt, which piece of meat do you want, I'll weigh it for you."

If the black claws dig into her flesh, she will lose the remaining meat. Others still want to buy it, which will kill many people. I don’t even know where this aunt got her dirty hands.

"Hey, you little girl, do you have any business like this? If you don't see me clearly, how can you know which piece I want... Oops, who pulled me."

The strong man behind her pulled her with a look of displeasure: " I said, aunt, that’s enough. Look, you’re so picky, you’re bargaining, and you’re asking a little girl to give you eggs. You’re the one who’s so embarrassed.

” Let's go, we're still waiting."

After saying that, without waiting for her reaction, he directly pulled the person behind him. People waiting to buy things crowded over. In an instant, the aunt's head was no longer visible. Xu Youning could only hear her cursing voice. I don’t know what happened later, but the cursing sounds disappeared.

Xu Youning: "..."

This is Zhenbiao.

But it's good. With their help, I don't have to face annoying people.

Xu Youning quickly weighed and collected the money and receipts from the buyers. The things she brought were in short supply. After a while, the people in front of them all carried their bought things and left with satisfaction. There were only a few people in Xu Youning's stall. There is only one skinny duck, two fish and a few pig bones left, and the chicken and duck eggs have long been sold out.

It was getting dark now, and she was just about to pack up her things and close the stall to go home when a man squatted in front of her stall again.

"Comrade, how do you sell these?"

At the same moment, the emotional headline system dinged.

[Laughing to death, a popular gay man was kicked out of the house by his grandfather because he was single and lived in the underworld | In the city, the female stall owner gave an order and a million-strong army welcomed the gay man home...]

[Click for details to see the headlines]

Xu Youning: "... "

I don't know why, but she suddenly had a bad premonition.

Chapter 20

Xu Youning stared at the virtual light screen in front of him, then quickly lowered his head and ignored it. Instead, he said to the 'popular gay man' in front of him who was also disguised: "A duck costs six yuan, and a fish costs a pound. Bones are cheaper, 40 cents per pound, any ticket is fine. If you don’t have a ticket, add 50 cents.”

The popular gay looked at the things on the ground and said, “You are a bit skinny.” Xu Youning said, “ Not skinny

.”

You think you can still stay.

"I want it all, but can you give me the basket too? I'll pay for it."

Xu Youning: "...two cents for the basket."

Popular gay man: "...ok."

- Host, don't you want to read it?

"I'll look at it later. I always feel like...there's something wrong with your headline."

System:...

In the end, the popular gay man brought the basket and bought all the remaining things. When paying, he asked: "Will you come again tomorrow?"

Xu Youning became wary and said nothing.

The gay man didn't pay attention to her vigilance and said calmly: "If you come again, can you leave me a chicken and a few pounds of pork belly?"

Xu Youning: "...I won't come tomorrow."

She doesn't want to show off for the Chinese New Year tomorrow. stall.

She took the money, counted it once, and then put it directly in her pocket, using this action to put the money into the space. Then without any delay, he picked up his backpack and walked out of the black market.

It was getting quite dark now, and Xu Youning felt that if he didn't hurry up, he might not be able to catch the last tram. By then, she would have to walk back to happiness on her own. It was probably the Chinese New Year, and the tricycles secretly pulling people around would no longer be willing to work.

As Xu Youning walked, he clicked to see the details.

Sure enough, it was similar to what she thought. The headline this time was really outrageous. Xu Youning felt like he had watched some outrageous drama. Regarding the popular gay man being kicked out of the house, Xu Youning saw it at a glance. After all, she had no interest in this gay man. She didn't like to gossip about other people's love lives. But the content that followed [the female stall owner gave an order, and millions of troops welcomed the gay men home] really made her feel like a lump in her throat, like thorns in her back, and on pins and needles.

Yue.

Disgusting, so disgusting.

"System, aren't you a headline system? Since when did you become a rumor-mongering system?"

The system was a little confused when it saw the emotion value it received - 89.

Although it is a disgusting value, but... it has 89 points. Xu Youning usually needs four headlines to have such a high emotional value, but now he only has one headline. This is really surprising.

The system murmured:

- I seem to have found a secret recipe that will make you, the host, rich.

Xu Youning: "..."

Please let me go.

——Besides, what is spreading rumors?

——Entertainment headlines are also a type of headlines.

Xu Youning: "...then I thank you."

- You're welcome.

"I'm not complimenting you."

- Hehe.

Everyone was bickering, Xu Youning was walking very fast, but suddenly her steps slowed down and she quickly turned around and took action.

Eye poke.

Steal peaches.

Put down your legs.

Asshole.

Popular gay man: "..."

The popular gay man who fell to the ground didn't know whether to cover himself forward or backward. At that moment, he thought he heard the sound of eggs breaking.

Xu Youning retreated cautiously: "Who are you and why are you following me?"

The man on the ground stretched out a hand with difficulty: "I don't mean any harm, I just want to ask you when you will come to the stall again. I want to give you something." The old man at home bought some chicken, duck, meat and eggs to make up for it. I want to book a time with you."

"My name is Jiang Yu'an, and I am the director of the Propaganda Department of Haishi No. 1 Power Plant."

"..."

This one is in the headlines . She finally knew the name of the popular gay man.

"You followed me all the way."

"It's unfair. I really wanted to order something from you, and I even called you several times." Who knew this girl was so ruthless, she almost broke her hand.

——Host, he really screamed.

Xu Youning, who had been talking to the system and distractedly reading the headlines: "...you didn't even remind me."

- Hey, I'm fascinated too.

Xu Youning: "..."

Blame me.

Who's a girl who isn't scared when someone is following her? If she doesn't blow his head off in a minute, that's because she's showing mercy. She also takes it for granted. Although there are many red armbands patrolling the streets now, walking around and looking around, and the sentences for hooliganism are very serious, it does not mean that it is safe now.

She should be taught a lesson.

Xu Youning pursed her lips and said nothing, while Jiang Yuan tried his best to stand up by holding on to the wall, his whole body still slightly bowed, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Comrade, are you still here to set up a stall?"

- Host, he is too persistent.

——Do you sell it?

Xu Youning stared at Jiang Yuan and said, "Wait for me for a few minutes."

After that, he turned around and left.

Seeing her leaving, Jiang Yu'an didn't hold on, and sat down on the ground. Then he raised his painful butt, and his whole body gasped, and his handsome face was also a little distorted.

Although he knew that his behavior of following him was indeed not good, this aunt was really evil. Poke the eyes, steal the peach, lift the legs, and explode the anus. These moves are so consistent that it is enough to imagine how many people have fallen for her moves.

A little too skilled.

He began to guess in his mind how many people had suffered from the other party's four attacks.

However, he was quite happy to be able to protect himself. From his standpoint, he hopes that everyone has the ability to protect themselves.

While Jiang Yu'an was thinking about it, Xu Youning had already returned with another basket.

She did not walk up to Jiang Yu'an, but stopped when he was five steps away.

Xu Youning placed the basket covered with newspapers not far from Jiang Yuan: "This is for you. Next time..., I'm not sure if I can still get something, and I'm not sure if I will come out to set up a stall again. You can Also think of a way. If it doesn't work, you can go to the countryside and ask."

After saying that, she turned and ran away, almost as fast as a rabbit, and disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

"Hey..., wait a minute."

Jiang Yu'an stretched out Erkang's hand: "...I haven't given you the money yet."

**

Xu Youning, who had already run far away, did not catch the last tram, so he could only find a tricycle in melancholy, and shuddered all the way back with the things he had smuggled over.

"After working for most of the day, I earned three months' wages. I also lost two chickens, two ducks, five pounds of meat and two pounds of eggs." If this was not a business without capital, I would be able to say yes today. no good.

The system was laughing like crazy and teased her:

——You don’t have to pay compensation.

"Forget it, I did it myself. I still know how hard I used it. He probably can't even get up now."

——Hey, Dandan's sadness.

——Oh, I don’t have any of those, hahaha.

Xu Youning feels that this small system is really lacking.

——By the way, host, you haven’t seen his appearance today. He is really handsome. It’s a pity.

"Uh..., that's not important." Anyway, she doesn't want to see the other party again in the short term, and presumably the other party doesn't want to see her again in the short term. It's okay that she disguised herself,

and the other party also covered most of his face with a scarf, otherwise it would be embarrassing if they met by chance next time.

"Besides, I have also experienced the era in the entertainment industry in later generations when beauties were everywhere and handsome men were as numerous as dogs. Even if I didn't meet those celebrities in person, I still watched their news and dramas. Now I only have uncle circles. The male god can attract me."

——Oh~.

While they were talking to each other, the middle-aged woman riding a tricycle reminded: "Girl, we're here."

Xu Youning immediately came to her senses: "Okay."

She got off the tricycle, picked up her own basket, picked up the basket, and then took it out of her pocket. She took out a huge sum of one yuan and fifty cents and gave it to the other party: "Auntie, thank you."

The auntie took the money and smiled with crow's feet at the corners of her eyes: "You're welcome, if you want to take a bus next time, come and see me."

Xu Youning agreed . With a sound, I sighed secretly in my heart.

One dollar and fifty cents. Her monthly salary was only over thirty yuan. It cost her one and a half yuan to make a small three-wheeler. The starting price of a small motorcycle at the time she traveled through time was only five yuan. However, she has walked more than ten miles, which is not close. Besides, it is approaching the New Year, and it is still a rickshaw, which is understandable.

It’s just...the wallet doesn’t quite understand.

In the future, if I can catch up with the train, I still have to take the tram. Riding this tricycle twice more will cost me money.

She went home with large and small bags. The door of Xu's courtyard was still open, probably waiting for her to come home.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back."

The old couple sitting in the living room warming themselves by the fire laughed instantly: "I'm back."

Liu Yiyi had already rushed out: "Sister, you are finally back."

Xu Youning immediately held his hand . A basket was handed to him: "Carry it."

"What is it?" Liu Yiyi had already opened the newspaper when he spoke, and the next moment he screamed excitedly: "Apple,... Strawberries, big oranges. Sister, where did you get them?"

Xu Youning, who had been selling apples all day just after returning yesterday, said, "Don't worry about it, just go and eat the apples."

"Okay. "Liu Yiyi carried the basket into the house excitedly, and Xu Minhua and Liu An came out to help pick up the other basket and the backpack. Xu Youning was very tired from the whole day, so she didn't fight with the two people, and obediently gave them the backpack and basket.

"Wo oh, why is it so heavy? An Ning, how did you get it back?"

"There is no tram. I found an old lady's rickshaw and brought it back." Xu Youning followed into the house, and Liu Yiyi had already thoughtfully served the puppy legs. I came over with a cup of brown sugar water. Grandma Xu and Grandpa Xu also brought over the warm food in the pot: "Are you hungry? Come and eat. It's still warm."

Xu Youning nodded: "I'll wash my hands."

The little cousin had already brought it . The hand washing water is here.

"Yiyi, you are so considerate."

"Hey, sister, wash your hands and eat quickly. I'll go and see what else you bought."

Everyone in the family knows that Xu Youning will be dumping things outside. After all, fine grains, meat, eggs, etc. The fruits were not brought by the strong wind. These things are in short supply now, and I don’t know what route Xu Youning took to get so many good things.

Xu Youning nodded while washing his hands, wiped his hands and sat down at the table to start eating.

The Xu family had a pretty good meal in the evening, including braised tofu, stir-fried minced pork with sour beans, and stir-fried pork with radish. The staple food was two-thirds rice mixed with one-third sorghum. Xu Youning really couldn't get used to eating this kind of food at first. Now that she has been here for more than a month, she has gotten used to everything she should and shouldn't get used to.

"Hey, this is mutton. A whole sheep must cost a lot of money."

It didn't cost a penny.

"This piece?...Beef, my dear, it weighs almost ten kilograms. An Ning, you can do it. You can get it all."

Compared with beef and mutton, pork, chicken, duck, goose, fish and eggs are nothing. Of course, the basket of eggs and duck eggs was really spectacular, but luckily I didn’t break them on the way.

"It's all luck." Xu Youning ate his meal with a smile on his face, looking like a little fox that had stolen fish: "I will go out again tomorrow morning, and then I will stay at home to celebrate the New Year." "

Mom and I will go up at noon tomorrow You can come back in the afternoon, and you will have time to prepare." Xu Minhua looked at Xu Youning and said, "Aning, there is enough food at home, so you don't need to go out to take risks." "

Don't worry, sister, I know what's

going on." "Okay . Ah, Aning is a big girl too." Grandpa Xu looked at Xu Youning: "As long as you know that we will worry about you, don't take any risks."

Xu Youning nodded: "I know, grandpa"

Xu Youning patted her lovingly. on his shoulder, urging her to eat quickly to avoid the food getting cold.
