Professor Dong smiled and said, "Aunt, we are a family. My last name is Dong, so you can just call me Siping. These are for my brother and his wife to nourish their bodies. Don't mind. Eat a few every day to satisfy your taste buds." As he spoke, he took out two handfuls of big red dates from the pockets on both sides of his pajamas.
Among so many residents in the family compound, they chose Mrs. Dong's family. Moreover, this old lady has a straightforward personality. She doesn't ask questions that she shouldn't ask, is not stingy, and has good interpersonal relationships. The sisters who come to her for things are all wealthy people. This sales channel is more reliable, so Professor Dong decided to develop them into long-term customers.
"Oh, this is really great! Look at so many dates. It's good to eat them during pregnancy! Thank you Siping." The old lady was very happy.
Dad Guan folded the things and put them into the backpack, ready to go.
"Child, please stay here tonight. It's too late."
"Aunt, I came here with the team's oxcart. The oxcart has been waiting outside our factory. I have to leave quickly. It will be midnight when I get home."
"Okay, I won't keep you here. Leave early and come directly to see Auntie next time."
"Okay!"
After a few polite words, the trio left the textile factory's staff quarters.
The three of them found a deserted place to eat. Dad Guan took the bus to take the things in the backpack to the ox cart of Uncle Qi at the big cart shop, and then came back.
Once again, one person kept watch while the other two shared the load. This time, they filled the backpack directly. The backpack was quite large, easily capable of carrying over 200 pounds. His original incarnation had been a laborer for years, and possessed immense strength. The two things that Guan's father found most satisfying after his transmigration were that he was twenty years younger and that he was exceptionally strong, something that even in modern times, no amount of wealth could change.
The trio continued to the next family compound, and it was the same plot and the same routine. With the experience of the first order, this time Guan's father adjusted the rules and did not accept everything, but was selective.
The second order wasn't as lucky as the last. It's not always possible to find a buyer as good as Mrs. Dong. This time, it was a woman in her forties from the village who came to look after her son's grandson. She barely knew anyone around her and had no business dealing with her friends. The volume wasn't high, and it was too time-consuming. She was very stingy, trying to trade in items she was about to throw away, no longer usable. Being stingy isn't a big deal; trading trash for good rice and noodles is a sign of quality issues. This kind of customer is a one-time deal, and they won't return.
After leaving the shop, the trio estimated it was past 4 p.m., so they walked a few rows ahead and knocked on another door. This time, it was an elderly man pushing a cart, presumably to buy coal. Winter had arrived, and while the daytime temperatures were acceptable, the nights were still a bit chilly, so those who could afford it had started to light their stoves.
This time, it was Guan's father who approached and struck up a conversation with the old man. After a few words, the old man warmly invited them in. It turned out that there was indeed a woman named Yao Cuifen in their machinery factory. She was in her forties, and the child's age was unknown. Because she was the mechanic who worked for his third daughter, the old man was so enthusiastic when he asked Yao Cuifen.
He led them into the house, poured them some water, and moved some stools for them to sit on, while he went to the factory to call for help. Yao Cuifen arrived a short while later. She was short and thin, wearing work clothes and a hat, and looked to be in her early forties. She was stunned when she saw the trio, not recognizing them. The trio pretended to be extremely disappointed even though they knew this would be the outcome. The old man sent Yao Cuifen away, and Guan's father tried to deceive her again. Sure enough, the old man took the initiative to fall for it, or rather, to help solve the problem.
