After the three girls had eaten together at the state-run restaurant, they parted ways again. Bai Nuo rode her bicycle back to her small courtyard, tidied up her things, and then took out a can of kerosene, a piece of blue printed cotton cloth, and a piece of light purple printed cotton cloth from her spatial storage.
There were several large pieces of fabric in those two packages yesterday, enough for the next while.
Then he took out a basket and filled it with 30 jin of rice, 20 jin of flour, 10 jin of dried sweet potatoes, 2 jin of melon seeds, and 2 jin of raisins.
Finally, she counted the fifty catties of eggs she had won in a lottery in Shanghai, totaling 625 eggs. She picked out twenty-five of them, wrapped them in a cloth bag, and placed them on top of her basket.
Bai Nuo looked around, then found a long, narrow glass bottle, filled it with ten catties of soybean oil, and stuffed it into his basket.
"Take some white sugar and brown sugar back with you too," the system reminded, checking again as if to reassure the user.
"Oh, right."
Bai Nuo then took out two large glass jars and filled them with five jin of white sugar and five jin of brown sugar respectively.
The glass jars, like the oil bottles, had bag-shaped lids, and the lids were made of wood; there wasn't a single element out of step with the times.
These were all things she collected in a small market in Yiwu in her previous life. In any case, she collected things from several large shopping malls and warehouses into her space. Since she got 925, everything has been sorted and organized. Otherwise, she would never have known what was in her No. 8 Era Warehouse. The things were just a mess when she collected them, and she was too lazy to organize them.
This house really can't function without the 925, which consumes a lot of electricity.
She only had ten jin of white sugar, but quite a lot of brown sugar. She had smuggled a whole box of it back from that fat pig director's house, with bags of it weighing a total of thirty jin.
Bai Nuo finally pulled out two more bags of milk powder and a can of malted milk powder, thinking that her height could still be compensated for.
She also had plenty of milk powder and malted milk powder. The large boxes she smuggled back from the fat pig director must have been specially made, they were especially big. There were sixty bags of milk powder and more than seventy cans of malted milk powder in total. She thought she could drink until she vomited.
Now the two large baskets were full. After securing them to the back of the bicycle, the mysterious large bag that had been picked up from the post office that morning was also secured to the back of the bicycle. Finally, the only slightly older old-fashioned sewing machine in the storage space was taken out, disassembled, and put into a wooden box. Then it was tied to the large bag, and that was it.
I have to say, the quality of this bicycle is really amazing; it held up perfectly even with so much stuff on it.
Bai Nuo took another stroll around the courtyard and checked it out. During this time, she also heard her neighbors talking about the sounds of someone returning to the house.
However, she ignored all of this. Anyway, with the vines taking care of her, she only came over occasionally and had no interest in maintaining harmony with her neighbors.
Besides, she wasn't a harmonious person to begin with.
After locking the doors and windows, Bai Nuo took a nice nap in the space. At 2:30 pm, she washed up, got dressed, and left the space.
She wasn't wearing makeup this time, but she was still wearing the same tattered clothes as in the morning, with a black coarse cloth fisherman's hat on her head. Behind her was a tall, large, expressionless, and fierce-looking humanoid figure.
The items to be sold had been prepared in advance, and the system had placed a clone program there, so Bai Nuo wasn't in a hurry to go there early; she arrived right on time.
I saw Old Man Yu sitting by the roadside as soon as I turned the corner.
"You were criticizing me before, why are you sitting on the ground now?"
"A girl from the south, why would she learn a Northeastern accent? Doesn't it feel awkward?"
Old Yu slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Bai Nuo with disdain.
“You’re from Beijing, huh? I think you’re quite right.” Bai Nuo stopped pretending to be a Northeasterner and spoke with a Beijing accent.
However, the old man glanced at Bai Nuo indifferently and chuckled: "Little brat, you're putting on an act with an old man again. When did the Wei family's daughter become a person from the capital?"
"..."
Bai Nuo's expression gradually calmed down. She tilted her head and quietly looked at the old man. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows slightly and chuckled softly.
They're targeting her!
However, both the old man and the young man stopped there and did not continue this overly sensitive topic.
Bai Nuo didn't investigate further because she knew she wouldn't get anything out of her. Threatening would only lead to violence, and there were at least two hidden agents around, each a master. A fight would definitely cause a huge commotion, which she felt was unnecessary and not the right time.
The old man seemed oblivious to everything, walking leisurely into the old, run-down street with his hands behind his back.
"Hurry up, you're so young and you're already so slow, what will you do in the future?"
Bai Nuo rolled her eyes and followed: "Are you being unreasonable? How can my short legs be fast?"
[Answer: You're being unreasonable! How can my short legs go fast?]
Hearing that familiar tone, Old Man Yu smiled gently, turned his head to look at the little girl's face, which was seven or eight parts similar to his memory, and in that instant, an uncontrollable longing burst forth in his eyes.
Her personality is unlike that of her maternal grandmother and mother; rather, it's more like that of her great-aunt.
Old Bai, that old fox, knows how to find a place; he actually sent this girl to him, clearly convinced he wouldn't abandon her.
"Old man, you've passed this door. This is the door."
"You brat, I told you to call him Grandpa."
When did you say that?
Bai Nuo looked at the old man speechlessly. Why couldn't he just call him grandpa? Why did he insist on calling him maternal grandfather? Didn't he even ask if the two big knives in her maternal grandmother's hand agreed?
While the old man and the young man were bickering, they walked into an old, dilapidated house and saw dozens of bags of rice and flour and seven wooden boxes piled up against the wall.
Old Man Yu didn't even check it; he simply handed the cloth bag in his hand to Bai Nuo.
“These things cost a total of 2390 yuan. 2300 yuan is in cash, and I’ve exchanged the rest for local daily ration coupons. You can use them to buy anything you need. Come back to me when you run out of coupons.”
Is it free?
Bai Nuo didn't feel embarrassed at all. She happily took the cloth bag and looked at the rolls of 100 yuan bills inside. Her smile became even brighter.
Old Yu was so angry he was panting heavily. He looked speechlessly at the brat who looked like a little money-grubber, and rolled his eyes at her: "You think you're short of money?"
That's the biggest joke he's ever heard.
Is the only daughter in this generation of the Wei family short of money?
Even if her surname is Bai, just because her maternal grandmother's surname is Wei, she is the only heir of the Wei family now!
"What are you saying? If I didn't need the money, would I be out here doing this deadly business? I'm a pitiful nobody now, with no one to rely on and my family in ruins. How could I not need it?"
Bai Nuo said this with such confidence and self-assurance, and then tugged at his tattered coat, making Old Man Yu's teeth ache.
"Get out of here! Get back to Qishui Brigade right now. Don't go to the city unless you have to, and don't wander into the mountains. If you need anything, just send a message to the scrap metal recycling station."
Bai Nuo paused, looking down at the cloth bag, and blinked gently.
The old man's position... seems to be on her side.
Not sure, let's wait and see!
