Chapter 10

Xu Di and Xu Jun stayed at their grandfather's house for another morning. After lunch, they took a bus back to the city.

Xu Di’s trip was not in vain this time, as he not only got various vegetable seeds from his grandmother. I also asked my grandfather for a handful of rice, a handful of wheat and a handful of corn.

Xu Di made the excuse that her classmates had never seen these things, so her grandfather grabbed a handful for her from the warehouse at home. This is only Xu Di. No one else can be replaced. That’s food.

Xu Di also bought more than ten kilograms of fruit from his second grandmother using her private money.

Grandma filled another basket with potatoes, beans, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers...

In the city, you have to pay for these vegetables with vegetable coupons, and they are not fresh.

The brother and sister staggered back home carrying so many things. It was mainly Xu Jun, who was only ten years old and didn’t have much strength, so it all depended on Xu Di.

"Oh my god, I can't do it anymore. It's too heavy."

"Sister, take a break. I'll go upstairs to see if anyone is home."

Xu Jun saw that his second sister was sweating, and he didn't have much strength left.

"Mom, are you home?"

"Why are you yelling? Where's your second sister?"

"My grandma brought quite a lot of food. My second sister is exhausted and is taking a rest downstairs."

When Xu's mother heard this, she hurried downstairs.

"How come your grandma still has such tender vegetables?"

"The second crop of vegetables my grandmother planted is about to fall off the shelf."

When Xu Di saw Xu's mother, she felt relieved, otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to do anything.

The mother and daughter carried the vegetable basket upstairs. There were not many people in the family compound at that time, otherwise they would be envious and jealous.

"Xu Di, pick some of these fruits, beans, eggplants, etc. and send them to your Aunt Wang."

"Auntie Wang, which Auntie Wang?"

Xu Di was confused for a moment. There was no aunt named Wang among her close relatives?

"She's the grandmother of the little boy you saved. Who else could it be?"

"Mom, this isn't good. We're not even familiar with each other."

Xu Di thought that this matter was over and they would have basically no contact in the future.

"You are such a blockhead, kid. Didn't you hear what others told you to do? Move around more."

"Mom, they are just being polite, can we take it seriously?"

Xu Di had seen many similar things in his previous life. Generally, the families who were rescued, especially those with good conditions, were afraid of being relied upon, so they basically bought out the rescued family members in one go.

"I think they are very sincere, especially your Aunt Wang. There is nothing we can do about it. You will graduate next year, and we have to consider your job.

They all work in good companies, so we don't expect much. We just think that if we go around a little, if there is a job opportunity, wouldn't you be able to know in advance? ”

Xu Di knew that her mother was afraid that she would not be able to find a job and would eventually have to move to the countryside.

Her sister has gone to Yunnan Province and won't be back for a while. Her mother didn't want her to go to the countryside because it was too hard.

"Okay, I'll go and take a look. If they don't want to associate with us, forget it. I'll try my best to stay in the city and not go to the countryside."

Xu Di compromised, if for no other reason than because of her mother's loving heart.

Xu Di packed some eggplants, peppers, beans, tomatoes and autumn fruits in a basket... He took some of each of the vegetables his grandma brought and carried them out.

The last time Aunt Wang and her family came over, they left their home address.

Xu Di knew how to take the bus. After getting off the bus, he carried the basket and found the address Aunt Wang gave him.

"Auntie, can I ask how to get to Building 3?"

Xu Di wandered around here for a long time. The family housing estates here were all next to each other, and she was a little confused.

"This girl is quite sweet. Why call me auntie or grandma? I am so old now."

"No way, you look full of energy, you don't look like a grandma at all."

"Haha...my grandchildren are older than you, and I even have great-grandchildren."

The old lady was amused. It had been a long time since she had been called auntie by such a little girl.

"Let's go, I know the place you're talking about."

The old lady carried a basket of vegetables and led the way. Xu Di hesitated for a moment and followed her.

For a moment, the word "human trafficker" flashed through her mind.

Later I thought that this was the 1970s, and no one was bold enough to kidnap people in the housing estate.

"Lan Zi, are you off work?"

"Aunt Qian, are you back from shopping? Oh, Xu Di, come quickly, come quickly, isn't it hard to find Aunt Wang here?"

When Wang Lan saw Xu Di following Aunt Qian, she greeted him enthusiastically.

"You know each other. Is this girl looking for your house?"

"Aunt Qian, this is Xu Di who saved Kang Kang. I told you about him."

Aunt Wang introduced it happily, she was really happy.

"Oh, such a little girl, I didn't expect it. You said it was a little girl, but I didn't expect it to be so small."

"Xu Di, this is Aunt Wang's old leader, you should call her Grandma Qian."

"Hello, Grandma Qian!"

Xu Di quickly greeted her, she really is a grandmother.

"I think I should call you grandma. This girl is a good match."

Although it was the first time that Grandma Qian met her, she quite liked this little girl.

"Auntie Wang, I went back to my grandmother's house in the countryside yesterday and brought back a lot of vegetables. My mother asked me to send some to you to try."

Xu Di felt that in front of these two people, their little thoughts were clearly visible.

"This dish is really fresh. It's rare to find such tender dishes at this time of year."

Aunt Wang saw that Xu Di was embarrassed. He was still a child and didn't quite understand what happened to adults.

In fact, how could Xu Di not understand? In her previous life, she had done many things like this for her son.

It's not that she became pretentious just because she traveled through time, but I feel that most people in this era are simple and honest, and it's a bit embarrassing for her to do this.

"This is the second crop of vegetables my grandma planted. The yard is big in the countryside, so it's quite convenient."

Xu Di silently adjusted his mindset. They didn't threaten him with favors, they just wanted more opportunities, some chances for fair competition.

In this era, in order to prevent their children from moving to the countryside, many units and factories recruit internally and do not disclose the information to the public.

"It's really convenient to have relatives in the country at this time, isn't it, Aunt Qian?"

"Of course. We used to be self-sufficient in everything, and the enemy set up blockades one after another."

Grandma Qian couldn't help but think of those days and the people who had left forever.

"Okay, Lanzi, take the child to get familiar with the place. I'm going back now."

"Aunt Qian, slow down. I'll come find you later."

Grandma Qian waved her hand and went home.

Aunt Wang pulled Xu Di inside. They both carried a basket of vegetables, which was quite heavy.

"Auntie Wang, the food has been delivered. I will go home first. It will be dark soon."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'll take you to the car later. Aunt Wang really likes you, and it's not just a courtesy. I don't have many relatives in my family, so please come more often in the future. We have a connection, so we can treat each other as relatives."

Xu Di felt that Aunt Wang was speaking from the heart and was not being perfunctory.

"Got it, Aunt Wang."

Xu Di was not a shy person, so he agreed readily.

The two chatted for a while, and Aunt Wang sent Xu Di to take the bus. She came back early today, and her son and daughter-in-law had not finished get off work yet.

After seeing Xu Di off, Aunt Wang went home, took some vegetables, and went to see Aunt Qian.

"Aunt Qian, I'm coming in."

"Come in, the gate is not closed."

Aunt Qian knew that Lan Zi would come over and they got along well.

"Thinking of the people and things from the past again?"

"Alas, when I get old, I always like to reminisce about the past."

"What do you mean old? Don't you still have to help Chaoyang take care of the children?"

"Look at the kid, he doesn't even have a partner."

When talking about her second grandson, the old lady became energetic again and talked to Lan Zi about finding a partner for her grandson.

Xu Di returned home safely and just in time for dinner.

She thought that she had harvested a lot of seeds today, so she had to hurry up and plant the crops. She had not yet figured out the process of planting crops in space.

The road ahead is long, so don't be in a hurry, just take it step by step. In this life, she will never be in a hurry again.
