Outside the window, there is flying yellow earth and blue sky with white clouds. There is no serious pollution like in later generations. There are layers of high-rise buildings, and everything is so vivid.

Shu Wan didn't have many food coupons, but fortunately, transactions were now free, so she used the money to buy a lot of things she needed, such as rice, flour, vegetables, eggs, etc., but the variety was not as complete as that of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Meat was even more scarce, and was sold out almost immediately after it came on the market. Shu Wan arrived late and was unable to get any, and she didn't have any food coupons when she went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Shu Wan thought that she still needed to prepare more money, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to eat meat.

Shu Wan asked several people before she got the meat coupons. To her surprise, she also got some sugar coupons. Shu Wan immediately ran to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought the last two kilograms of meat.

After the purchase, I bought half a pound of white sugar and half a pound of fruit candy.

The fruit candy was bought for Hu Zi. When Shu Wan thought of the original owner's dark history of fighting with the child for the candy, her face became hot unconsciously.

As soon as I stepped out of the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw a man following a little girl.

The man was short, with shifty eyebrows and small eyes darting around. He followed the girl closely, and his hand at his side seemed to be holding something, with a faint cold light flashing.

The girl must be from a well-off family. She had a plastic hairpin on her head, a blouse, and expensive leather shoes on her feet. She didn't realize she was being watched.

Seeing that the time was almost right, the man took out the knife in his hand and was about to take action.

"Weiwei, Bai Weiwei! It's me, don't you remember?"

Shu Wan called out to the girl and chased after her.

"I don't..." The little girl turned around and saw the tip of the knife flash by, her face turned pale with fright.

Shu Wan took a step forward, glanced at the man calmly, then held the little girl's hand and whispered, "Don't talk to me normally."

The little girl immediately retracted her gaze and nodded slightly.

"I'm Sister Shu. I played with you when I was a kid, have you forgotten about it?" Shu Wan said as she put her arm around the girl and walked past the man and forward.

The man didn't continue to chase after her, but stayed where he was with a mysterious look on his face.

After walking a long way and making sure the man hadn't caught up with her, the girl let out a long sigh and said with a burst of fear, "I was so scared. He had a knife. I saw it!"

Then she looked at Shu Wan with gratitude, "My name is Xu Xiaoling, what's your name, sister? Thank you so much for what you did just now."

"Shu Wan, it's just a small favor, don't take it to heart." Shu Wan said with a smile.

Xu Xiaoling recovered now, clenched her fists, and her face was puffed with anger, "It's a pity that I didn't see the pickpocket, otherwise I would have made him pay."

Shu Wan also thought it was a pickpocket at first, but then the man's behavior was inexplicably different. When a pickpocket realized that his action had failed, he would leave immediately instead of standing there and looking at them for a long time.

But this is just Shu Wan's guess, there is no real evidence.

Shu Wan thought about it and said to Xu Xiaoling, "That person has a red birthmark on his right cheek. Be careful next time."

Xu Xiaoling decided to recite it silently ten times every night and keep it in her heart.

Xu Xiaoling was even more grateful. "Sister Shu Wan, why don't you leave the things you bought with me first? You can come and get them when you leave. I'm from Hai City and I'm very familiar with this place."

It was indeed not very convenient to move while carrying things along the way. Shu Wan nodded and followed Xu Xiaoling.

"Do you know where I can buy meat tickets?" Shu Wan lowered her voice.

"I have them here. I have meat coupons, grain coupons, sugar coupons, cake coupons, and cloth coupons. If you want them, I'll go home and get them."

"Do you have cloth coupons?" Shu Wan was delighted. She didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise. Now she wouldn't have to worry about coupons in the future.

Xu Xiaoling's eyes lit up, "Sister Shu Wan, do you want to make your own clothes? I'm an apprentice in a tailor shop, why don't I help you make them?"

Shu Wan smiled and refused, "No, I'm used to doing it myself."
