Chapter 19

Xu Di was scared to death because he was almost caught by the red armbands yesterday.

In her previous life, she was not a daring person, otherwise, she would not have quit her job at such a young age and returned home to go on a blind date and get married.

In the morning, Xu Di went out reluctantly, and when he saw the people wearing red armbands, he shivered uncontrollably.

It’s no wonder Xu Di is timid. She has seen these people holding criticism meetings, and it’s really scary.

Come to think of it, it was just a few days before the winter break.

On their way home from school at night, they encountered a group of people who were arguing and shouting, "Down with the bad elements," "Shameless, adulterous, and have bad behavior."

There was so much pushing and shoving that Xu Di couldn't hear clearly what was being said.

A group of people were so excited that they blocked the road. Xu Di and her friends could not get through and were forced to watch a criticism meeting.

Because she didn't want to witness such a scene, Xu Di stood outside the crowd with her head down, waiting for them to finish reviewing before she went over.

She couldn't bear to see such a thing, but she was powerless to do anything.

After the crowd slowly dispersed, Xu Di looked up and saw the woman kneeling in the middle of the road.

When he was in his thirties, his hair was shaved into a yin-yang style, with half of his hair shaved off and the other half left.

The barber's skill level was not good, the hair was shaved long and short, and some places even bled.

The woman had a numb look on her face, a pair of worn-out shoes hung around her neck, and her clothes were torn to shreds.

Xu Di was frightened. Those eyes, those lifeless eyes, made her afraid from the bottom of her heart.

"Come on, let's go quickly."

Yang Dani dragged the dazed Xu Di and trotted away from this place of trouble.

It’s been a while since this happened, but when Xu Di thinks of the woman with a shaved head, wearing worn-out shoes, and those eyes, he feels a chill in his heart.

On this day, Xu Di did not sell anything. Instead, he found a good location, carefully scouted around, and prepared an escape route.

Xu Di found two such places in a row and felt more at ease. Tomorrow, he would be active in these two places. Now that we have an escape route, we have nothing to fear from anything else.

After hanging around outside for a short day and looking for two more places in the afternoon, Xu Di went home.

There has not been much change in the Xu family. There are no conflicts among the family members. They understand each other and their relationship is still good.

Xu Di played with his nephew for a while, and seeing that he was sleepy, he carried him to find Mrs. Xu.

"Sister-in-law, An An seems sleepy and keeps rubbing his eyes."

"It's time to go to bed. Give it to me. Thank you, Xu Di."

"You're welcome, we're family."

Xu Di felt that Mrs. Xu was a good person. No matter who helped take care of the children at home, she would say thank you. Even Xu Jun did not forget to say thank you and bought some delicious food from time to time.

The child is yours, and no one is obligated to help take care of the child.

Mrs. Xu would not take it for granted that she would order them to help look after the child, as she believed that the child belonged to the Xu family and it was the responsibility of the grandparents, aunt, and uncle to help look after the child.

As human beings, if we respect each other, we can get along much more harmoniously.

The next day, Xu Di set off again.

When I arrived at the family compound that I had inspected yesterday, I first went to a secluded place to enter the space, disguised myself, and came out carrying a basket.

This time it went smoothly. There was no need to go to a second point and the buying and selling continued uninterrupted.

She lied that she had connections and went to pick up goods several times in a row, selling a lot of eggs and leeks. Looking at the sky, it was almost three o'clock, so I packed up the stall and left.

After leaving the family compound, Xu Di jogged all the way until he was out of strength, then he found a public toilet, went in, and used the toilet first.

There was no one inside, so I went to the toilet and slipped into the space.

One advantage of her space is that she can see what is happening within five meters outside.

I sat on the ground and rested for a while, then I picked a tomato, sat on the ground, and ate it in a short while.

There were still some peach cakes left, so I picked a tomato and took a bite of the peach cake and then a bite of the tomato. My stomach was half full.

Food without oil and water will not make you feel hungry. In the previous life, which little girl could eat two big bowls of rice in one meal?

After eating and taking a rest, Xu Di began to count money. This was the happiest moment of the day.

I'm lucky today and didn't miss anything. I have a lot of banknotes and coins.

Xu Di has now trained himself to be very fast at counting money. In a short while, he has sorted the various banknotes into categories, counted them quickly, and added them together.

Oh my god, this is so unexpected, it’s more than 90 yuan, a record high.

These days, it has increased straight from over 20 to over 90.

Xu Di wrote down the amount of money he had today, a total of more than 700 yuan.

I put the money and account book away, changed my clothes, combed my hair again, and looked outside. There was no one outside.

Xu Di left the space and left the public toilet.

In the following days, I had good luck and didn’t see any red armbands or even any customers with ink marks.

On Saturday night, after dinner and clearing the dishes, Xu Di went back to his room to read a book. He heard no more noise in the living room, so he thought everyone should have gone back to sleep.

After the door was locked, I prepared to enter the space to fill it with soil and then pull out some leek roots.

If the leek roots are planted in the soil and the temperature is high enough, a crop will grow in a few days.

There were plenty of leek roots in her space, and Xu Di didn't dare to pick too many. In this era, in this season, too much is abnormal.

She found some vegetable seeds and planted some green vegetables, letting them grow until they bloomed, bore fruit and then grew old again.

The seeds saved in this way retain the original taste of the vegetables, which is incomparable to those high-yield ones.

Everything was ready, Xu Di went out with confidence and prepared to lie down and sleep.

In the morning, the Xu family got up.

Father Xu and Brother Xu had a rest yesterday and have to go to work today.

Mrs. Xu wants to take Xu Ping'an back to her parents' home because the child's grandmother misses him.

Xu's mother was going to see her sister. Back then, Xu's mother and her sister depended on each other. They ran away from their hometown and never went back.

Xu's mother never told her children the specific situation. Xu Di and her friends only knew that her mother's only relative was her aunt.

"Mom, I'm not going to my aunt's house with you today. You can take Xu Jun with you. I'm going to the library to read."

"Okay, go ahead."

Xu's mother knew that Xu Di didn't want to go to the countryside, and since he was discharged from the hospital, he has become more interested in studying.

Xu's mother and the others had all left. Xu Di was not in a hurry, but he could not go to Liang's house too early.

Xu Di washed the dirty clothes first, only her own.

Xu's mother washes the clothes of Xu's father, mother and Xu Jun herself.

The clothes of Brother Xu's family of three are washed by Sister-in-law Xu, and Brother Xu does the washing occasionally.

This kind of thing is rare in the entire residential compound, as every family has women doing the laundry. If she is either a daughter or a daughter-in-law, they will have to wash them in basins one by one.

A family of one, one for each person, no matter old or young.

Xu Di was once again thankful that he had traveled to the Xu family.

After washing the clothes and tidying up the house, Xu Di locked the door and set off.

The Liang family’s home is not very close to the Xu family’s home. It takes forty to fifty minutes to get there by car. Fortunately, there is no need to reverse.

Xu Di got off the bus one stop earlier again, found a secluded place and took out his things.

Half a bag of soil is quite heavy. Xu Di wrapped the seeds and leek roots in newspaper and put them in the bag he was carrying.

It was too heavy. Xu Di carried it to the station with great effort. She decided to take the bus. It was only one stop away and she couldn't carry it. It was too heavy.

When Xu Di staggered off the bus, she actually saw Sister Yan waiting at the stop, and there was a man, who should be her man, but Xu Di couldn't remember clearly.

Fortunately, she got on the bus again.

Xu Di secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sister Yan had already seen her and walked over.
