The alley they came from happened to be the public toilet of this street. It was summer now, and the toilet was very smelly, so basically no one came here.

Jiang Baige felt a little sorry for the old lady by dragging her along.

"Grandma Meng, please wait here for me! I'll go in for a while and come out right away."

"Oh, you must be holding it in! Go quickly!"

When Grandma Meng smelled the smell, she thought the girl was going to the toilet.

When she came to the public toilet, she didn't want to carry a bundle of cloth around. If she didn't buy food at this time and spent money on cloth, if she was seen by others later, they might think she was trying to make a profit.

I have to go eat soon, and it’s not convenient to carry these cloths to eat lunch.

Seeing that there was no one around, she instantly threw the cloth on her shoulder into the space.

Putting his hands on his hips, he sighed, "Oh, this cloth is really heavy."

A moment later, she ran out of the bathroom.

"Grandma Meng, let's go! It stinks here."

Following her footsteps, Grandma Meng asked, "Girl, why don't we go back? This cloth is too eye-catching!"

Jiang Baige smiled: "It's okay, now let's find a place to eat!"

"Ah! Let's eat there. What shall we do with all the cloth?"

"Don't worry! I've put them all away."

Jiang Baige helped Grandma Meng out of the alley while telling her.

Grandma Meng reached out and touched her shoulder, swallowed, thought for a long time, and then came up with a bold guess.

She thought, "The fairy is really amazing. She can make anything she wants. This thing should be hidden in her sleeve!"

Grandma Meng had such an idea because she had heard about it in mythological stories in her childhood.

After the reform and opening up, after the campaign to destroy the four olds, there were so many ghosts and superstitions that no one dared to mention them anymore.

Now that there is a little fairy in her house, she has to keep her mouth shut, otherwise she might get hurt.

A witch in the village was beaten to death by those people.

This thing in her house must be protected well and not let others harm it.

Thinking of this, she tightly grasped Jiang Baige's sleeves.

The two of them came to a state-owned restaurant, and Jiang Baige ordered two bowls of noodles. They had drunk porridge in the hospital this morning, and they felt empty in their stomachs after walking for a while.

They just want something to fill their stomachs, and noodles are the fastest and cheapest.

After the noodles came, Jiang Baige handed a bowl of noodles to Grandma Meng.

"The noodles are here, Grandma Meng, please try some."

Grandma Meng didn't hesitate and took a bite of the noodles with chopsticks.

He smacked his lips carefully and said, "Mmm, this is much better than what I cook."

"Girl, how much is a bowl of noodles? Is it expensive?"

Jiang Baige took a mouthful of noodles before replying, "Not much, five yuan a bowl."

Hearing her words, Grandma Meng suddenly burped.

This was the first time she had eaten such expensive noodles.

"Girl, this is too expensive. Why don't we just have one bowl? It's such a waste for each person to have one bowl!"

There wasn't much noodles at home, and one bowl wasn't enough for two people.

Jiang Baige ate noodles and said, "One bowl is not enough. Don't worry, just eat!"

The noodles weren't very good to begin with, and if they talked any longer, they would become clumpy.

Grandma Meng hadn't eaten out for many years. When she heard that this bowl of noodles cost five yuan, she not only ate the noodles but also drank up all the soup.

Eat and drink your fill, then put down your bowl and chopsticks.

Jiang Baige said to Grandma Meng, "I'll take you back to the guesthouse in a while. I have to go out this afternoon for something."

Grandma Meng nodded and said, "If you have something to do, go and do it yourself. I'll wait for you to come back."

The two people returned to the guesthouse. When the older sister saw them, she took out the thermos and placed it on the counter.

"You're back. The hot water is ready for you."

"Thank you, comrade."

Jiang Baige smiled at her, holding the kettle in one hand and supporting Grandma Meng with the other, and went upstairs.

After opening the door and entering the house, he sat Grandma Meng on the bed.

Jiang Baige cooled a teacup of boiling water for her and placed it on the table.

I was afraid that she would be bored in the house, so I gave her a bag of melon seeds.

After doing all this, Jiang Baige said, "Grandma Meng, I'm leaving now. I might be back a little late this afternoon, so don't worry."

After thinking for a while, she took out another box of bread.

"There's some bread on the cupboard. If you're hungry later, eat some to fill your stomach. I'll get you something to eat when I get back."

She said this as if she was coaxing a child.

Grandma Meng took off her shoes and lay on the bed. "Well, you go ahead! I won't go there either."

Seeing that she was fine, Jiang Baige closed the door and prepared to leave.

Then he turned around and said, "By the way, if you want to go to the bathroom later, just ask the big sister downstairs for help. I will talk to her later."

Grandma Meng closed her eyes and said, "Just go! I understand."

Jiang Baige didn't think of anything else to say, so she closed the door and left.

When they arrived on the first floor, Jiang Baige saw the older sister sitting there in a daze. She took out two handfuls of bulk melon seeds and placed them on the counter.

"Sister, I have to go out to do something this afternoon. My grandma is still sleeping in her room. I'd like you to keep an eye on her for a while. If she needs help, please help her."

She was generous, and the two handfuls of melon seeds were a big pile, at least two taels.

The elder sister smiled happily when she saw this: "Oh, comrade, if you have any problems, go ahead and don't worry! I'll take care of your grandma for you."

Jiang Baige smiled at her and said, "Thank you, big sister. I'm leaving now."

Having said that, he turned and left the guesthouse.

When the elder sister saw her leaving, she quickly put the melon seeds into her pocket. Melon seeds are very expensive now, one or two catties cost 20 cents, and these would cost at least 50 cents. She saved them for her children to eat at home, and the children would definitely like them very much.

For the sake of these melon seeds, she reluctantly helped out and looked after the old lady upstairs.

After leaving the guesthouse, Jiang Baige went straight to the post office. She had received a letter from her brother a few days ago. He said he liked to eat dried meat, so she decided to send some back to him.

We can't make them rich now, but at least the dried meat can keep them full.

From then on, she would send some meat back to Jiang Baiyang every month. Meat was hard to buy outside, so as long as she had dried meat, she could satisfy her family's cravings.

After turning a corner, she suddenly had a bag of things in her hand.

Inside was some beef jerky, a few pieces of bacon, and two cured fish.

Jiang Baige prepared 20 kilograms of dry goods, which would be enough for them for a month even if they ate them every day.

I also prepared a 20-jin bag of millet. Millet is nutritious and grows longer than rice. It doesn't take much to cook a large bowl of rice.

I went to the Laidu Post and Telecommunications Office and the same staff member was there as last time.

Seeing that she was dozing off, Jiang Baige knocked on the counter with a smile.

"Hello, big sister!"

After rubbing her eyes, she saw the person in front of her and recognized her at a glance.

"Sister, you're here, come here quickly."
