Chapter 300
The next morning, Yunmian put on her old cotton shoes with dense stitching, and a small cotton jacket that was also a little old but washed very clean and smelled a little like detergent. She sat on the back of her grandmother's tricycle and went around the streets with her grandmother to pick up garbage.
Before leaving, Yunmian compared the temperature of her forehead with that of her grandfather to make sure that the old man was in better condition today. Then she went to the bedside to kiss her mother on tiptoe, and then coaxed her happily: "Mom, stay home and be good. Mianmian and grandma are going to pick up bottles and buy sweet candies for you after selling them."
Yun Mujin felt that his daughter's promise was just like the promise his mother made to Mianmian yesterday to bring back the beautiful little flower. Well, it wasn't very credible.
But Yunmian didn't know that her mother was criticizing her in her heart. She put on the little yellow hat knitted for her by her grandmother, and with the yellow fluffy ball dangling on her head, she set off in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
"Grandma, let's set a small goal first!"
Sitting in the back of the tricycle, Yunmian's childish voice sounded full of life in the snow and wind: "Today I'm going to pick up a lot of bottles and paper cartons, and then sell them for a hundred yuan!!"
One hundred yuan can do a lot of things, and this is the most money Yunmian thinks she can earn now.
Chen Fanghua's laughter and the hot breath from her mouth turned into a hazy white mist in the cold air. She answered a little louder, "Okay, if I can earn a hundred yuan today, how about grandma buying a pair of furry gloves for Mianmian?"
She noticed yesterday that her granddaughter's hands were red after washing the dishes. She must have had some frostbite. It must have been very itchy in her bed at night, but the little girl didn't tell anyone and didn't show any sign of it.
If she hadn't seen the slightly red and swollen little hands when washing her face in the morning, it would have been discovered only after she got frostbite.
"Grandma, I have to buy candy for Mom first, and then buy warm new cotton shoes for you and Grandpa~" Yunmian's little hands tightly grasped the cold railings on the bed of the tricycle. Grandma put a piece of clean cotton cloth on the railings, so her hands were not frozen, but they could not block the cold wind.
The grandparents and grandchildren had beautiful and innocent expectations along the way, and soon arrived at the first place to pick up garbage in the coldest wind of the early morning.
Before entering the community, Chen Fanghua put on an old and repeatedly used mask, and wrapped a thick scarf around his granddaughter's neck, just enough to cover half of her mouth and nose, and then walked into the community with the fire tongs and a few bags.
The community security guard obviously knew her, and it was not the first time he had seen Yunmian, a child who occasionally came to pick up trash with her grandfather or grandmother. However, they still exchanged a few words of greeting for the elderly man bringing his granddaughter out in such a cold weather.
"Aunt Chen, where is uncle? Why is it Mianmian who came with you today? Can the children bear it in such a cold day?" While asking, the guard walked out of the guard booth and without saying a word, stuffed two steaming buns that he had not had time to eat into Yunmian's arms and asked her to hold them.
Before Chen Fanghua had the time to answer or refuse, Yun Mianmian, who suddenly felt the security guard's kindness, reacted quickly.
She stood on tiptoe to return the bun to the security guard, raised her head and squinted her eyes, saying obediently: "Thank you, uncle. I have already had breakfast. My grandfather steamed big and delicious buns for me this morning. I also put two in my pocket, so I won't be hungry."
After that, the child reached out and held grandma's rough fingers, and said softly: "My grandpa has a cold today, so I am here with grandma today. Grandma dressed me in many layers of clothes, so I am not cold at all!"
Maybe the northern part is too cold and too dry. Whenever she spoke, a white mist would appear in front of her. But it could not conceal the purity and happiness in her eyes.
The security guard, a grown man, was so moved by the little girl's sweet answer that he did not force the breakfast on Yunmian. He just told the old lady that if the weather was too cold, he should send Yunmian to his security room to warm herself by the fire so as not to let the child get frozen.
Due to the rules, no matter how kind-hearted he was, he could not invite an old lady, a garbage collector, to warm herself by the fire in the guard booth at the gate. But if it was just a child, no one would say anything.
"Thank you, uncle~" Yun Mian said thank you obediently again, then jumped and followed her grandmother. The old and the young went to the trash cans under each building in the community to look for things that could be picked up and sold.
Fortunately, perhaps out of an intention to take care of Chen Fanghua, a vulnerable group, the community property management rarely evicted her even though they knew she was not a resident of the community. They just turned a blind eye. But just for this, Chen Fanghua was already very grateful.
Arriving at a trash can under a building, Chen Fanghua motioned for her granddaughter to stand and play in a place where there was no snow and no smell, while she used tongs to carefully search through the trash can for the garbage that the residents had discarded that morning.
Fortunately, it is winter now, and the various dry and wet garbage piled up in the trash cans do not produce a strong and pungent smell. It is not like in the summer, even for just half a day, the trash cans emit a foul stench from a distance, and there are even various insects flying around.
Yunmian originally wanted to go over and help her grandmother turn it over, but before she moved, the ball of light that had been quietly squatting above her head flew up.
Yun Mian couldn't help but look up, wanting to know what the system uncle who brought her to this world to carry out the mission wanted to do.
Before she went to bed last night, she had heard Uncle System say that she came to this world just to become number one in the live broadcast room of the money game, number one in popularity in the world outside the small world, and number one in money in this small world.
Yun Mian didn’t know how to quickly become number one on the list, but she was not in a hurry. The system uncle said that she still had fourteen years to complete this task.
The child tilted his fair face up, and his clear and clean eyes curiously watched the ball of light flying in the air. He watched the orderly glow of light coming out of it, and he stood obediently in the sheltered place waiting.
Occasionally, Chen Fanghua turned around and saw her granddaughter looking up at the sky, and she just thought that she was looking at the beautiful winter snow falling in the sky.
About five minutes later, the system flew down and landed on the host's shoulder, unfolding a large light screen panel in front of her eyes.
"Look, Mianmian." He listed all the things he had scanned from the trash cans in the community that could be used or sold on the panel: "The ones at the top are the most valuable and useful. Let's go find these first, otherwise we won't be able to pick them up when the community starts collecting and processing trash every day."
Yun Mian stared carefully at the light screen unfolded by the system uncle. There were not only words on it that she could not understand, but also pictures that allowed her to see the appearance of that thing clearly.
The first row is a big plush bear. Although it is dirty, you can take it home, wash it and dry it and continue to use it.
The system flew up and touched the host's face, and said with a little pride: "Don't worry, Mianmian, the things I scanned and selected must be safe. There will be no hidden danger of infection. Many of them can be picked up and washed and can be used again."
In fact, these things are also what Chen Fanghua and Yun Yuanzhe would pick up when they encounter them, but they mostly pick up cardboard bottles that can be sold for money, so sometimes they ignore the value behind some things.
Looking at the things on the screen, Yun Mian's eyes lit up little by little.
The system flew up and showed her the direction of the plush bear. Yunmian ran out, reached out to pick up a few cloth belts that her grandmother had placed aside, and told her grandmother that she would go find another trash can. Then, ignoring the old lady's obstruction, she ran into the wind and snow.
Chen Fanghua watched her granddaughter's back as she ran away, thinking that she was bored being alone and wanted to go to the amusement facilities in the community. After reminding her from a distance to be careful, she continued to pick out cardboard stained with kitchen waste from the trash can.
Yunmian ran to the destination under the guidance of Uncle System, but when they arrived, Yiqiu and Yizai were dumbfounded.
The trash cans were very high. Even if the plush bear was placed across two trash cans, Yunmian, with her current short stature, couldn't reach even a single hair of the plush bear even if she stood on tiptoe high enough.
"Uncle, what should I do?" Yun Mian stood in front of the trash can in a daze.
The system also became dazed: "How about... finding something to poke it down?"
Just when they were caught in the "Fluffy dilemma", in the live broadcast room outside the small world with Yunmian as the main perspective, some comments that were different from usual flashed across the screen.
[…To be honest, why does this child look so silly?]
[I didn’t laugh when I saw players throwing money at others to get slapped in the face. I didn’t laugh when I saw players cheating others to make a lot of money through illegal means. I didn’t laugh when I saw people selling their organs for money. But when I saw this little guy standing in front of the trash can and staring at the stuffed bear, I couldn’t help but laugh. Am I sick?]
[No, I too...]
[This live broadcast room is really poisonous. Yesterday I wanted to see when this little girl would succumb to money and power, but she looked too pitiful and too optimistic. The way she stared at the stuffed bear was actually more beautiful and cute than the greedy desires of other players when they looked at money and beauty.]
[Forget it, I'll go watch other live broadcast rooms to refresh my eyes. This kid is really weird. I can't help but want to laugh when I see her. It's just a stuffed bear. She really has never seen the world!]
Along with these words, a large reward from the viewer in the live broadcast room flashed across the screen.
The next second, before the kid could figure out how to get the stuffed bear off the trash can, he heard a cold reminder: "Congratulations, you have received 100 stuffed bears from the audience. After paying the platform fee, your income is: 9,000 star coins."
Yunmian: “???”
Startled by the sudden sound, Yunmian looked up at the misty and snowy sky in a daze. After seeing nothing, she tilted her head in confusion and thought about it. Although she still didn't see anything, she still politely said to the sky in a soft voice: "Thank you sister for giving me so much money."
The system uncle said that the money was of no use to her now, as it was money from another world. However, after completing the mission and leaving this world, it would negotiate with that system and ask the other party to put the money into a fixed account. In this way, if she had the opportunity to go to that world in the future, the money would be very useful.
At the same time, the people in the live broadcast room who had just said they wanted to leave, looked at the silly child on the screen who was turning his back to the camera, looking up at the sky and saying thank you, and inexplicably lost the desire to leave.
Although they said they were leaving, they actually stayed quietly in the live broadcast room. Some people started discussing how the little one in the camera should get the stuffed bear off the trash can, or how much she and her grandmother would harvest today, and whether it would be enough for them to buy ten eggs at the market.
Because I want to work hard on my six-word week in August, the two chapters updated in the morning and evening are not counted as extra chapters, but normal updates. I will slowly pay back the extra chapters I owe in addition to the 6,000 words.
