He Wan responded with an "oh," and only relaxed her guard when she saw that he meant no harm.
He took out a bag of flour and two pounds of pork from his basket, then gave him a hundred yuan and a few daily ration coupons.
"Uncle Xu, I have to make another trip for the rest of the rice and noodles. You wait for me at home."
Uncle Xu nodded, watched her leave from the doorway, and didn't go back in.
He Wan ran to a secluded spot, took out a bag of rice and seven or eight kilograms of noodles from her spatial storage.
But it strained her back; it was too heavy.
If I wasn't afraid of arousing his suspicion, I would have just taken it from the basket with my mind.
"Uncle, the houses around your place look pretty nice. They must be occupied by workers, right? Haven't you thought about finding a job or something? Even a temporary job would be fine. It's better than staying home alone."
Uncle Xu looked around and said, "These houses around here used to belong to my family too, they..."
In the end, he gave a self-deprecating laugh and said nothing more.
He Wan understood a little and said, "Uncle, you seem very refined and learned. If you have nothing to do at home, you can try submitting articles to the newspaper. It will keep you from being bored at home and you can earn some money to make a living."
This proposal clearly shattered Xu Yan's understanding. He was knowledgeable, but submitting articles? He hadn't even considered it. Besides, would anyone be willing to accept someone with his background?
"Just by looking at the uncle's expression, I can tell he's never tried it before. I heard that newspapers pay for articles they publish, and they might even give you foreign exchange drafts."
I've also seen bookstores recruiting people who speak foreign languages, saying it's for translating books or something, and they pay them. Does this uncle even speak a foreign language?
“I would, but... they probably wouldn’t be too willing to hire someone like me.”
"How will you know if you don't try? Uncle asked me for paper and pen last time. Oh, I brought some this time. Here's a fountain pen and a bottle of ink. I didn't get any paper, but you can buy some at the bookstore. I have some book vouchers here."
"Thank you, Comrade He."
"You're welcome, I'll be going now."
"Will you come again next time?"
"Come on, I still need to make money, whenever you need it."
Yes, I come often.
He Wan chuckled. If she came often, she might just collect all the antiques in the backyard.
Next time, remind him to keep it.
After leaving Uncle Xu's house, it was almost seven o'clock, and the sky was slowly getting dark. I slowly made my way back to the village by myself.
When there's no one on the street, I'll take my electric scooter out of the storage space and ride it for a while.
When they saw someone coming from afar, they switched to bicycles.
In short, it only took half an hour to get from the county town to the village.
After returning, I went into my spatial dimension and told Lao Yun, then went to find the Party Secretary.
“Secretary Li, my aunt doesn’t let me bring too many people. If there are too many people, he won’t be able to entertain them. Also, this medicine was obtained through the factory’s business manager, which is considered going through the back door. The fewer people who know about it, the better. In addition, she doesn’t let me get too much medicine, and they can’t give me too much.”
"It's alright, give us as much as you can. We're worried about you going alone since there's so much medicine."
"Uncle Party Secretary, don't worry. Just like last time, my aunt will have the factory staff bring it along when they ship the goods. It will be delivered directly to the logistics department at the train station. I won't need any introduction or proof. After all, they ship nationwide. I just need to coordinate with them."
Just like last time, when I arrived, I called ahead. This time there's a lot of goods, so I'll have to trouble Uncle Party Secretary to pick me up at the city train station.
"That's no problem. But I need to discuss this with the people from the commune tomorrow and see what they say."
"Okay, Uncle, I'll head back now."
