A modern wealthy young woman, Luo Jingyan, accidentally transmigrated to the 1970s, becoming a short-lived minor supporting character in a period novel. Her parents were framed, forcing her to take...
When Luo Jingyan heard Hei Hu report that Zhuang Feifei had hidden a motorcycle and a television in the cave, she couldn't help but be tempted.
She was in a sudden accident and transmigrated. She only got the space after transmigrating, and she had no plans to stock up on supplies. Sometimes she would feel regretful because there were no modern things in the space. She really wanted to go up the mountain now and put all those things into her space.
However, she felt that Zhuang Feifei still hadn't emptied her space. Apart from ice cream, fruits and vegetables, packaged snacks and other delicacies, which had very short shelf lives and couldn't be taken out, there were many other important items in her space, such as medicine, and appliances like washing machines, refrigerators and air conditioners. These things would not only be useful to many people in a few years, but would also be in high demand, allowing her to make a fortune from them.
She chose to wait a little longer, until Zhuang Feifei took out everything she could from the space, before she went up the mountain to clear it out.
In the morning, the sun was warm and cozy. She sat on a stool at the door for a while, and Jiang Manyue and Sun Tiantian, having nothing to do, came to chat with her.
"Jingyan, your house is finished. We haven't been to see it yet. Can you take us to visit it?"
Unable to refuse Luo Jingyan's hospitality, she replied, "Okay, if you're free now, we can go right away."
"We have nothing to do right now, let's go."
"Walk."
Luo Jingyan also planned to rest for a while and then go over there to take a look. After she finished building the house, she didn't abandon it and would go over there to check on it from time to time.
Even if you're not afraid of people deliberately causing trouble, you still have to be careful that some of the more mischievous kids in the village don't go there to play pranks.
On the way, Sun Tiantian said, "Jingyan, we really have to keep an eye on these new houses. I've heard before that some unscrupulous villagers sneak over at night to remove tiles from the roofs of newly built houses when no one is living there, and steal them for their own homes. Also, we not only have to watch out for the adults, but some kids are really naughty. They poop on the newly built earthen beds before the children have even slept on them, and they fill the holes in the beds with clods of dirt and stuff. It's so annoying."
Luo Jingyan was speechless. She could go there to check during the day, but she couldn't stay there all night.
Fortunately, she has two adorable little darlings, Black Tiger and Fatty Tiger, who like to come out at night. At night, she just needs to let them patrol the area more often.
"Full Moon, I've remembered everything you said. I'll spend more time watching over there and try my best to prevent others from touching my things."
As they approached Luo Jingyan's house, they heard a commotion. The three of them looked toward the source of the noise and saw Zhuang Feifei scolding two boys who looked about seven or eight years old in front of her new house.
"You two are really asking for a beating! I just finished setting up the kang (heated brick bed), and you two actually took your poop on it! What kind of upbringing did your parents give you? Did they teach you to do such disgusting things?"
The two little boys lowered their heads and didn't say a word, letting her scold them.
Jiang Manyue and Sun Tiantian both smiled.
"Look, someone pooped on her kang (heated brick bed), hahahaha."
Luo Jingyan quickened her pace, but Jiang Manyue, still wanting to watch the commotion, asked, "Jingyan, why are you walking so fast?"
"You can watch for a while longer, I need to go in and check if my kang (heated brick bed) has been soiled with poop."
She had already asked Zhang Laibao to make the front and back doors. Zhang Laibao reminded her not to install the doors until the house was occupied, in case someone stole them.
At that time, most households used wooden doors. Each wooden door had two pegs. When installing a wooden door, you simply put the two pegs into the grooves in the door frame. As long as you have enough strength, disassembling a wooden door is very easy.
It's not just in this day and age; even in modern rural areas, some people still have their large iron gates stolen.
Luo Jingyan wanted to have Zhang Laibao install the door two days before moving, so she could only monitor the area manually these days.
She went into the house and checked each room. Except for the kitchen area, where there were some small mud figures on the floor, she wondered whose child had been playing there and left them there.
Apart from this room, the other rooms were spotless. The earthen beds in the two bedrooms showed no signs of being stepped on, let alone anyone defecating on them.
After a while, two little boys ran in. They were the same two who had been scolded by Zhuang Feifei earlier. They ran into the kitchen, picked up the mud figures from the floor, and said to Luo Jingyan, "Don't scold us. We promise we'll never come here to play again." Then they ran out with the mud figures.
Luo Jingyan thought that Zhuang Feifei's reprimand of the two children must have worked, because the children were no longer afraid to play at her place.
Jiang Manyue and Sun Tiantian walked in and toured her room.
Jiang Manyue even went to Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian's bedroom first to check: "Jingyan, both of your kang beds are clean and tidy, that's great."
Luo Jingyan laughed and said, "Maybe the kids don't like the kang (heated brick bed) in my house, that's why they don't poop on it."
"Haha, if that's the case, then Zhuang Zhiqing's kang (heated brick bed) was a high-class toilet."
"Hahaha, well said."
After touring the inside, they went outside to check Luo Jingyan's roof. After a quick look, they found that the roof tiles were not missing and there were no signs of tampering, which put Luo Jingyan at ease.
I'll have Fat Tiger and Black Tiger keep a close eye on things at night from now on; there shouldn't be any problems.
The three of them stayed there for a while, and then Sun Tiantian said, "Manyue, Jingyan, the mushrooms on the mountain are very fresh and tender now, let's go pick mushrooms on the mountain."
"OK."
Sun Tiantian's suggestion was unanimously approved by Jiang Manyue and Luo Jingyan.
"We still need to go back to the educated youth settlement to get the basket."
Luo Jingyan's basket was in her spatial storage, making it incredibly convenient to take it out. However, since she was with Sun Tiantian and Jiang Manyue, she had to go back to the educated youth settlement and pretend to be like them.
They went back to the educated youth settlement to get baskets and prepared to go up the mountain. Just as they stepped out of the settlement gate, they bumped into Zhuang Feifei.
Zhuang Feifei noticed that they were all carrying baskets and guessed that they might be going to the mountains to pick mushrooms or dig for wild vegetables.
Because she was hiding something on the mountain, she was unusually sensitive to people coming up the mountain. She smiled and asked, "Are the three of you going up the mountain?"
Sun Tiantian said, "Let's go pick some mushrooms on the mountain."
"I'll go with you."
She had to keep an eye on these three people, fearing they would discover the caves where she secretly hid things on the mountain.
The other two were unaware of Zhuang Feifei's intentions, but Luo Jingyan knew very well that Zhuang Feifei was going to keep an eye on them.
They didn't really want to take Zhuang Feifei with them, but Zhuang Feifei still took a basket and went with them. When they got to the mountain, Luo Jingyan and the others picked their own mushrooms, and Zhuang Feifei didn't notice anything unusual about them. After they finished picking mushrooms, she went down the mountain with them.
Luo Jingyan hadn't been to the cowshed much these past few days because of building a house. In the afternoon, she went to the cowshed to see her parents and Grandma Zhang, bringing them three catties of pork, rice, noodles, and dried vegetables. She spent time with her relatives until evening before going home.
