However, after my parents were sent down to the countryside, the Revolutionary Committee heard from somewhere that my grandfather had left a yard full of treasures for my mother, and eventually all of this money was looted by their people.
The more Su Mianmian thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. She decided that she must take those things back and put them in her own space to be safe.
However, this needs to wait until night time, as it would be too conspicuous during the day.
After going through all these twists and turns, Su Mianmian felt a little tired, so she leaned back in her chair and fell asleep unknowingly.
It was not until she heard the childish voice of her younger brother that she woke up from her sleep.
"elder sister."
Su Mianmian slowly opened her eyes and saw her younger brother standing in front of her, rubbing his eyes with his chubby little hands.
She couldn't help but smile dotingly, stood up and walked over, gently picked up her brother, and then sat back in the chair.
"Are you awake?"
The little guy pouted and said aggrievedly: "Sister, I miss mom and dad."
As he spoke, crystal tears instantly sparkled in his two round eyes, and his little face wrinkled tightly, with a look of grievance.
Su Mianmian patted her brother's back gently and coaxed him tenderly.
"In a few days, we will be able to see Mom and Dad. But you have to listen to your sister and not call Mom and Dad when there are people around. Otherwise, if bad people find out, we won't be able to see Mom and Dad."
The little guy was very sensible. After listening to Su Mianmian's words, although he was a little confused, he did not ask, but just nodded obediently.
Su Mianmian stretched out her thumb and whispered, "Come on, pinky promise. This is a little secret between you and your sister!"
"Okay."
The little guy also stretched out his little fleshy hand and hooked his little finger tightly together with Su Mianmian's.
Su Mianmian was still a little worried and reminded him again.
"Ayan, you must remember this: never call mom and dad when there are people around."
Su Yanshu nodded heavily.
Su Mianmian patted his little head and praised him, "So good."
Su Mianmian raised her wrist to check the time and found that it was only three o'clock in the afternoon. She immediately had an idea.
She hasn't bought the things she needs for going to the countryside yet. Although she has everything at home, she will need them when she returns to the city, so it is better to buy some new things.
Thinking of this, she put shoes on the little guy, took the bamboo basket used for shopping at home, and then took him out.
This time, Su Mianmian planned to ride the bicycle at home. She carefully placed Su Yanshu in the small basket on the back of the bicycle, and then pedaled to the department store.
When she arrived at the department store, she first bought 22 feet of cloth, choosing the most common and popular colors.
After all, in this era, it is better to keep a low profile.
There are not many cloth coupons left at home, so I only bought this much for now.
She plans to go to the black market tomorrow to buy some bills and cotton.
Winters in the northwest are a bit cold, so it’s a good idea to prepare more cotton.
Then, she considered that she would need to work when she went to the countryside, so she bought three pairs of shoes for work.
Gloves for work are also essential, so I bought three pairs.
She also bought herself two sets of clothes that looked tacky so that she wouldn't stand out when she went to the countryside to work.
Her own clothes are brightly colored and wearing them outside can easily get her into trouble.
Then she remembered that after going to the countryside, she and her brother would definitely have to move out and cook on their own, which would require locks, pots, and stoves.
She wanted to buy some stoves and pots as well, but she was afraid that if she bought too many, she wouldn't be able to take them back, so she only bought two locks, thinking that she could go to the black market tomorrow and gave up.
The rest was to buy some White Rabbit milk candies and fruit candies, cakes, biscuits, peach cakes, etc.
By the way, she also bought five cans of malted milk. It wouldn’t go bad if kept in the space anyway, so she bought some more and gave three cans to her parents and two cans to herself and her brother.
Daily necessities were also necessary, so she went on to buy some toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, towels, and two boxes of vanishing cream.
Although the villa has clothes and skincare products, it is still better to buy some so as not to be conspicuous.
I already have a kettle and an aluminum lunch box at home, so I won’t buy another one for now. I’ll just use what I have at home and save as much as possible.
I bought so many things at once that it was a bit difficult to handle them all at once.
Put the clothes into the backpack and carry it on your back.
Then some daily necessities and food were hung on the handlebars and some were tied to the seats.
Su Mianmian let her younger brother hold her sleeve while she pushed her bicycle.
Taking advantage of the time while walking, she secretly put the things on the handlebars into the space.
Anyway, no one knows what she bought specifically, so it makes things a lot easier.
Soon the brother and sister came to a remote alley. Su Mianmian looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one there, she stopped her bicycle.
Then, she took out clothes and shoes from the backpack and put them all into the space.
Then she put the daily necessities such as towels on the bicycle into a bamboo basket and put it on her back.
After doing all this, Su Mianmian looked at her brother with his mouth wide open and quickly made a "hush" sound at him.
The little girl knew the seriousness of the matter well. She didn't say anything, but just blinked her eyes and looked at her sister with admiration, as if to say, "Sister, you are so awesome."
Su Mianmian smiled slightly, touched his head, then carried little Ayan in the basket behind her, got on her bicycle, and headed towards home.
After arriving home, Su Mianmian asked Su Yanshu to stay in the living room while she carefully packed up the things she had bought.
After a while, she saw her younger brother walking towards her unsteadily, his legs twitching.
"Sister, Ayan is a little hungry." The little guy raised his head and said pitifully.
Su Mianmian looked up at the sky and it was indeed time to eat.
Su Mianmian asked Su Yanshu to sit on the chair and wait, while she stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Sister will make noodles for you."
The little guy watched his sister walk into the kitchen, and climbed down from the chair using his hands and feet.
He staggered behind Su Mianmian and went to the kitchen together.
Su Mianmian ignored the little guy following behind him. He felt insecure.
Su Mianmian took out some noodles from the space and skillfully fried two golden eggs. Not long after, two bowls of hot and fragrant vegetarian noodles were ready.
She brought out two bowls of noodles and placed them on the table.
At this time, Su Yanshu excitedly stretched out his little arms. Seeing this, Su Mianmian smiled knowingly and reached out to carry the cute little guy to the chair.
