"Uncle Degen, I remember that we all agreed to go to the county town to do some shopping the day after tomorrow, right? Remember to call me then."
Although there is a serial killer in the county town, everyone still has to live their lives and it is impossible to avoid going to the county town at all. So they agreed on a time to go together, which is much safer.
In fact, Li Miaomiao was not worried about her safety in broad daylight, but Pei Guoan repeatedly warned her, and in order to reassure Pei Guoan, Li Miaomiao would not go out alone. Besides, nothing in this world is absolute, and safety comes first.
"Okay, I'll remember it."
Li Miaomiao greeted Zhang Degen and went to Old Lady Pei.
"Mom, I'm going to the county town with everyone the next day. If you have anything for my fourth sister-in-law, I'll take it with you. Her belly should be quite big by now, and it's a pity that she has to deal with something like this."
"Okay, I'll go prepare it right away. I was just thinking that with such a big thing happening in the county, I'm afraid the situation in the city must be very tense as well. It's best not to go out right now. It's definitely a good idea to prepare some extra things for them."
"Then send me here when you're ready."
This time, Li Miaomiao not only prepared things for Pei Guoqiang and his wife, but also prepared some things for her third and fourth brothers' families on her mother's side.
Although I don’t know what the situation is like there, who would complain about having too much food?
Especially since her third and fourth sisters-in-law from her mother's family all have children, I'm afraid no one would be willing to go out too often at this time, so she would prepare more things and send them over. Whether they are needed or not, they are all a token of her thoughtfulness.
With this in mind, Li Miaomiao prepared three portions of food: a can of milk powder for each family, followed by milk candy, vegetables, and pickles she made. In addition, she also prepared a duck, two kilograms of meat, ten kilograms of flour, and fifty eggs for each of her third and fourth brothers' families.
She also brought a lot of soap and her homemade radish and meat sauce.
In the evening of the next day, Old Mrs. Pei prepared the things for Pei Guoqiang. She was afraid that it would be difficult for Li Miaomiao to carry them, so she didn't prepare too much, just some mountain products and thirty eggs.
Li Miaomiao didn't ask any more questions and put it away. The next day, she carried a few huge backpacks, rode a bicycle, and took Zhang Ying with her, slowly heading to the county town with everyone.
Even when going to the county town, Zhang Ying carried the same equipment as that day and looked very safe.
When they arrived at the county town, someone saw Zhang Ying in this outfit and their eyes lingered on her for a while. They were obviously a little surprised, but they didn't think it was strange.
Two murders have occurred in succession in the past few days, and the murderer has still not been found. Not to mention women, even other people are reluctant to go out unless they have nothing to do, for fear of encountering the murderer and accidentally becoming unlucky.
Arriving at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhang Degen reminded them again: "Everyone must remember what we said in the village. Don't separate. Stay together in groups of at least three or five. This way it will be safer."
Li Miaomiao was going to deliver something, so it was naturally impossible for her to go to the supply and marketing cooperative with them.
However, she brought Zhang Ying here in advance just to facilitate the operation.
"Uncle Degen, I have to send some things to my fourth brother, and I also have to go to my brother's side on my mother's side."
"Okay, go ahead and come back early to reunite with everyone."
With Zhang Ying around and it being broad daylight, Zhang Degen had nothing to worry about. He just told them to finish their work quickly and come back early.
Li Miaomiao rode a bike with Zhang Ying to deliver the things for Pei Guoqiang first.
Arrived at Pei Guoqiang's residence
"Wait for me here. I'll bring the things to the door and come down right away."
It was difficult to carry so many things, so Li Miaomiao put some of them in the system space. Naturally, she couldn't let Zhang Ying know what she had given, otherwise it would be exposed.
No matter how big the backpack is, there is a limit to what it can hold.
"Okay, I'll wait here."
Zhang Ying held the bicycle for Li Miaomiao
As Li Miaomiao spoke, she ran to the door of Pei Guoqiang's house. It was Liu's mother who opened the door. Li Miaomiao just put the things down, said which ones were given by her and which ones were given by her mother-in-law, and then went downstairs with the basket on her back without any delay.
"That's good! With these foods, I can take care of Linlin for a few days. I was thinking it would be inappropriate to prepare food for her separately at this time."
Liu's mother didn't dare go out alone these days. After all, the murderer was so cruel that she was scared just thinking about it. Especially since her daughter was pregnant and needed to eat nutritious food. Some things could not be bought in the supply and marketing cooperatives unless she went to the black market or made a private transaction.
But she doesn't dare to go to these places now.
"I was thinking about this situation as well. While the villagers are here shopping today, I'm going to send some things over to my fourth brother and his wife."
Liu's mother originally wanted to ask Li Miaomiao to stay for lunch, but after hearing what Li Miaomiao said, she didn't want to keep her.
"That's fine. I won't stay here at this time. You must be careful."
After leaving Pei Guoqiang's place, Li Miaomiao went to her third and fourth brothers' homes on her mother's side. Their two homes were not too far away from each other.
But when Li Miaomiao arrived at her third brother and sister-in-law's house, they had all gone to work.
Li Miaomiao had no choice but to go to her fourth brother's house. Her fourth brother had gone to work, but her fourth sister-in-law was at home.
Li Miaomiao and her fourth sister-in-law had an average relationship before, so it was a bit awkward for them to meet each other now.
However, although Li Miaomiao's fourth sister-in-law didn't know that her sister-in-law had returned, at this time, seeing such a beautiful young girl appear here alone, she hurriedly pulled her into the house.
"Why did you come here alone? Do you know how dangerous it is now?"
Li Miaomiao's fourth sister-in-law's tone was not very good. If it were the original owner, she would have been angry before, but Li Miaomiao could hear the concern in her fourth sister-in-law's tone.
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law. I came here with a fellow villager. She's waiting outside. I'll deliver the things to you and then go back to reunite with everyone in the village."
Li Miaomiao said this as she put down the backpack and took the things out of it.
"One of these two bags is for you, and the other is for Third Brother's family. But I just went there and Third Brother and his wife went to work. Please ask Fourth Brother to deliver it when he comes back."
"Why did you suddenly send so many things?"
The fourth sister-in-law of the Li family was really surprised. She thought that her sister-in-law came to her house because of some difficulties, but she never expected that she came to deliver something.
"This isn't a big thing that happened in the city. I was afraid that if you had any trouble buying things, I sent you some food and vegetables to prevent your parents from worrying about you."
Li Miaomiao's words almost made Li's fourth sister-in-law flattered. When did her sister-in-law become so considerate and caring towards them?
"Sister-in-law, my fellow villagers are waiting outside, so I won't delay any longer. Your brother-in-law is at the county public security bureau now. If you have anything, go to the public security bureau and find Pei Guoan and ask him to send me a message."
Li Miaomiao said this and left in a hurry, leaving Li's fourth sister-in-law looking at two large sacks of things, still feeling a little unreal.
