"I should have asked Xinyi to bring back a few bottles. Oh, and Brother He, Xinyi went back to Haishi with me too. There's no way to persuade her with that temper of hers."

He Chaoyang had never taken the Tian family seriously, so he didn't care when he heard that Gu Xinyi was going back with him. However, he was quite concerned about Chen Shuning's suggestion to bring wine back with him.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's skip Beijing and Shanghai, there aren't many people going back recently. But for Grandpa, some people might be going to Jilin Province soon. Get your things ready, and I'll contact someone to bring them back to Grandpa later."

Jilin Province is actually very close to here. Chen Shuning had always wanted to visit the two kind old people in the original owner's memories, but he had never been able to make the trip.

Since it was Chinese New Year again, it was naturally inconvenient to go. So, they agreed to He Chaoyang's suggestion, went back to the basement of the villa, and took out several jars of sealed wine, waiting for He Chaoyang to ask someone to bring them to their grandparents in town the next day.

The young couple, having nothing else to do, watched a movie and then stayed in the room to sleep.

Whether it was because the air in the space was filled with spiritual energy or not, Chen Shuning was full of energy when she got up the next morning and made breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, the two left the space, planning to go to town to buy New Year's goods. Chen Shuning also needed to deliver goods to Hei Zi before the New Year.

Chen Shuning also plans to buy a bicycle, which will make it much more convenient to go back and forth to town. She didn't buy one before because she didn't want to attract too much attention, but now she's not afraid. With Gao Hongyuan's example, her purchase of a bicycle won't attract any attention.

Hongqi Town was bustling before the Lunar New Year. Even though it wasn't market day, there were still many stalls along the roadside where people were exchanging goods.

Qingshan Brigade is considered a wealthy brigade in this area, so the Spring Festival is not too difficult for any household.

However, there are still many brigades in the surrounding area with relatively poor conditions, and many families cannot even afford a piece of meat for the New Year.

So every year before the Lunar New Year, many people come to town to set up stalls and sell their own produce, so that they can have some meat and vegetables for their families on New Year's Eve.

The things Chen Shuning needed weren't available here, so the two went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Although the space had everything, those things weren't convenient for gifting, so Chen Shuning bought five catties of fruit candy and a few pastries at the supply and marketing cooperative.

During the Spring Festival, we can skip visiting other people's homes, but we absolutely must visit the village head's and Grandpa Yang's homes.

After buying the gifts, the two went up to the second floor to look at bicycles.

Chen Shuning had prepared the bicycle ticket long ago, but Hongqi Town was a bit small. Although the supply and marketing cooperative sold two bicycles, they were both the kind of old-fashioned bicycles for men.

Chen Shuning is petite, so riding this bike is a bit difficult for her. In addition, there is a lot of snow in Heilongjiang Province. She can usually stand up in the first snowfall of winter, and the ground is covered with snow all winter long.

Chen Shuning dared not ride on such a road, so the two of them did not buy bicycles and planned to go to the black market after leaving the supply and marketing cooperative.

The two found a secluded spot, with He Chaoyang acting as lookout while Chen Shuning took out the items she wanted to send to her family from her spatial storage.

Then the two went into the post office and mailed the items. He Chaoyang made two more phone calls, one to his comrade-in-arms who was going back to his hometown in Jilin Province for the Spring Festival, and the other to his friend in Haishi.

Although he had given Gu Xinyi his friend's contact information, he was afraid that his friend wouldn't take it seriously if he didn't make a call.

After all, it's easy to get contact information, and there are quite a few people like them who impersonate others all year round to ask them for favors.

So He Chaoyang had been thinking about making this call since early morning. It was only when Chen Shuning saw He Chaoyang making the call that she remembered that she should also call her older brother.

Even though Gu Xinyi might not need her older brother's help with He Chaoyang's friend's help, what if she does?

So Chen Shuning called her older brother again, and after finishing their business, the siblings chatted about family matters for a while.

Then the two left the post office, intending to go to their last stop of the day: the black market.

To their surprise, the two of them had just entered the vicinity of Chen Shuning's rented courtyard when they saw the person they disliked.

Shen Hongmei and Yang Wanqiu's older sister Remei emerged from the black market hand in hand. Judging from their gait, there must have been quite a few things in the baskets on their backs.

It's hard to say how long this fake sisterhood between the two will last.

Chen Shuning couldn't be bothered with the two of them, but that didn't mean they were willing to let her go.

Chen Shuning saw Yang Wanqiu point in his direction and then tilt her head to say something to Shen Hongmei.

Then they saw Shen Hongmei walk straight towards the two of them.

Seeing that the people had already arrived, if they were to go into the deserted alley where she usually entered the space, it would be easy for the two of them to discover their secret.

So Chen Shuning had no choice but to drag He Chaoyang into the black market.

After all, visiting a black market isn't a big deal these days, and judging from their appearance, they had clearly just come from the black market, so there was no need for either of them to say anything.

When Yang Wanqiu pointed to the tall figure next to Chen Shuning and said that he was Chen Shuning's husband, Shen Hongmei was genuinely jealous.

How could someone as brainless as Chen Shuning find such a tall, handsome, capable, and well-connected man?

She had originally thought that since Chen Shuning's husband came from a good family and she herself was capable, he must not be good-looking, or even ugly.

But the man in front of her was completely different from what she had imagined. The military overcoat that only officers wore made him look even more imposing.
