After finally graduating from university, she booked a tour group to 'reward' herself for years of hard study, but unexpectedly ran into falling rocks and was killed. Her wonderful life had...
"Girl, everything is here. Please check it!"
The next afternoon, as soon as Lin Xue drove her car to the main entrance, she saw the old man selling snails waiting there with several large baskets on his back.
"Sir, didn't we agree on delivery at 3 o'clock? Why are you here so early?"
Worried that the other party would arrive early, she set off half an hour early, only to find that the other party was already waiting there.
"We just arrived too. Look, my son hasn't finished unloading this truck yet!"
Looking at the flatbed cart that had been sitting to the side, with ropes scattered everywhere, it seemed that things had just been unloaded from it.
"That's good! I thought you'd arrived a long time ago!"
Lin Xue opened the trunk, and the two men carried the four baskets of screws into her car.
"Girl, your car has a lot of space inside."
Looking at the trunk, the old man recalled the car his nephew drove. He had assumed all cars were like that, but he hadn't expected that the car had more space.
"Don't let the small size of my car fool you, it's packed with space inside!"
"Sir, here's the rest of the money for you. Count it and see if it's correct!"
Lin Xue gave a casual reply before quickly changing the subject. This wasn't an ordinary car; it was a flying magical artifact that had been conjured up.
It's definitely different from ordinary vehicles on the market; we can't let the conversation linger on that.
"Yes, perfect!"
"Here, these are homemade 'wife pancakes'. My youngest son is getting married soon, so I'm sharing them with you two to bring you some good luck!"
After calculating the payment, the old man took out a bag from the flatbed cart, which contained several round cakes that were a little bigger than the palm of his hand.
This "daughter-in-law pancake" is made with eggs, peanut oil, and flour; not a drop of water can be added.
They have a custom here that you must eat "wife cake" when you get married.
Lin Xue happily accepted the wife cake handed to her by the old man, then opened the driver's seat and took out a bag.
"I didn't know you were getting married, so I didn't prepare anything. Here, sir! This is a towel from our factory. I thought it was too red and never used it, so it's perfect for your wedding!"
Lin Xue stuffed the bag into the old man's hand. The old man saw the bright red color inside the bag and swallowed back the words he was about to say in refusal.
After Lin Xue left, he took out the towel and looked at it. This towel was much larger than the towels commonly found on the market.
It's wide, long, and thick; it'll probably last seven or eight years without breaking.
"Dad, this towel is really good quality. I've never seen anything like it on the market!"
The youngest son, who had finished tidying up the flatbed cart, came over and was immediately drawn to the two bright red towels.
The best part is that there are two big "double happiness" characters on the towel!
"This is a benefit the factory provides to its employees. It's probably custom-made and you definitely can't buy it on the market!"
"Here, take it!"
"This is perfect for you two. After the bride is officially brought into the house in a couple of days, using such a festive towel will surely bring you a prosperous and happy life!"
The old man simply rubbed the towel in his hands a few times before handing it to his youngest son.
"Hey, thank you, Dad!"
The younger son carefully put the towel away and fastened the bag to the flatbed cart handle.
The father and son then pushed the cart home.
After leaving the father and son, Lin Xue didn't rush home, but instead drove all the way to the county.
The county town is much more lively than before. Even in the afternoon, there are still many people, shops on both sides are open, and there are many food stalls.
I wandered around the streets and bought a lot of delicious local snacks, multiple portions of each. After getting into the car, I stored everything in my spatial storage.
Many of the specialty snacks from the 1980s are no longer available in later generations, so she has to take this opportunity to buy more and store them.
If she comes across something that particularly suits her taste, Lin Xue will order some. After all, her storage space has a preservation function, so no matter how long it's been stored, it will always be hot and fresh when taken out.
Besides places selling food, she also visited local shopping malls, department stores, dance halls, and shops selling home appliances and furniture.
I mainly wanted to relive the unique features of this era and also stock up on some supplies.
During her stroll, Lin Xue noticed that many young people were wearing bell-bottoms, and some were even carrying portable speakers. They would find an open space and start dancing in groups.
All of this provided direction for her industry.
He didn't drive his car home until it got dark.
"Where have you been all afternoon, you little brat? Don't you know it's dark and you should come home for dinner?"
When Lin Xue returned home, the meal was already prepared, but no one touched their chopsticks first; it seemed they were waiting for her.
"Didn't I tell you to eat first? I told you not to wait for me!"
He kicked off the cotton cushions on his feet and sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Dad, give me some space on the kang (heated brick bed). It's so hot it'll burn my bottom, but I'm thick-skinned and don't mind the heat!"
Her words successfully ousted Old Man Han, but earned her a glare from Old Mrs. Han.
"I've never seen a girl as shameless as you! Aren't they saying young people are full of energy? How dare you compete with your father for the warm bed!"
Grandma Han rolled her eyes at her little girl, and then handed her a chess piece cake the next second.
The flag-shaped cake is actually made in a similar way to the wife cake, using eggs, flour, and peanut oil.
However, the "daughter-in-law cake" has another meaning; it is usually made when there is a happy occasion in the family.
