She also had chestnuts in her space, but only about 100 jin (50 kg). The space was originally only 100 square meters, but she filled it to the brim. Chestnuts, which weren't particularly important, were only taken as a snack.
The space contained 100,000 jin of rice, 50,000 jin of flour, 5,000 jin of cornmeal, 3,000 jin of sweet potatoes, 1,000 jin of purple sweet potatoes, 3,000 jin of dried noodles, 1,000 jin of handmade noodles, 100 boxes of instant noodles, 200 tons of water, a well-equipped and modified off-road vehicle, and a large amount of gasoline.
These already occupy more than half of the space.
In addition, there are 20,000 jin of pork, 20,000 jin of mutton, 10,000 jin of beef, 20,000 jin of slaughtered chickens, ducks and geese, 10,000 jin of fish and seafood, 5,000 jin of eggs, and 1,000 jin of preserved eggs and salted duck eggs.
Cotton quilts, cotton-padded clothes, various commonly used clothing and fabrics, important books, wilderness survival equipment, solar panels, commonly used medicines, some Chinese medicinal herbs, three bicycles, two lightweight electric vehicles, two well-equipped and modified motorcycles, some electrical appliances, lighting equipment, self-defense weapons, etc.
What's left are some non-staple foods.
500 jin of tofu, 300 jin of bean sprouts, various kinds of dried tofu and bean curd sheets, supermarket snacks, various whole grains, and some children's clothes, quilts, medicines, milk powder, etc., in case she has children in the future, all of these will be useful.
They also have their own skincare products, hygiene products, toiletries, toilet paper, and so on.
She bought all sorts of condiments, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, pots and pans, cakes, milk, cigarettes, alcohol, beverages, and all sorts of other miscellaneous items. She even bought small commodities from Yiwu, though not in large quantities.
The SUV was stuffed full of toilet paper. These things take up space but aren't heavy, so they won't add weight if you need to escape in case of danger.
She filled the 100-square-meter, 5-meter-high space to the brim.
If she had known she was reborn back to the 1970s, she wouldn't have stockpiled so much water; it took up too much space.
He stored the twenty-odd kilograms of chestnuts into his spatial storage and continued walking into the forest. Along the way, he picked a lot of mushrooms and wood ear fungus. Finally, at the foot of a relatively remote mountain, he chose a place with a water source and sprinkled diluted spiritual spring water around it.
Only by cultivating a good environment here can we attract all kinds of small animals.
It was almost time, so Meng Fuyan packed her things and went home.
The basket contained five pounds of chestnuts, some fresh wild vegetables, some pine nuts, and mostly mushrooms and wood ear fungus. They also caught two pheasants, a very fruitful haul.
I grabbed some firewood and headed home. When I got to the educated youth settlement, I found that the Wu siblings had returned.
It looks like they brought back some supplies; they're already cooking, and the smell of meat is wafting out.
Seeing Meng Fuyan return carrying two pheasants, Wu Meixiang snorted coldly.
Presumably, he was too scared to do anything else after being beaten last night, so Meng Fuyan didn't take it to heart. She went to ask Xu Jing where Gu Tingzhi worked, as she wanted to visit him tomorrow.
Xu Jing raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "You want to go see him? He works in a government unit. I'm going to see him tomorrow too. I'll take you."
Meng Fuyan nodded and agreed.
The next morning, after the siblings finished breakfast, Meng Yunji was about to go to school. He glanced in the direction of the Wu siblings and said to Meng Fuyan, "Sister, why don't I go by myself? The three of them are all at home. Besides, it's only just begun, so they probably won't do anything to me. It's too tiring for you to pick me up and drop me off at school every day."
Meng Fuyan insisted, "No need. I just beat them up, and they'll probably find a chance to retaliate. This is the only time we'll go. You can bring some good food to eat at school for lunch. I might not be back so soon. I'll go to the county to buy a bicycle and pick you up after school tonight."
I prepared lunch for my younger brother, took him to school, and when I got back, I made braised pork belly, reheated yesterday's spicy rabbit, put everything into a thermos, and also cooked a serving of rice.
It was almost time. Meng Fuyan, carrying a cloth bag similar to a canvas bag from later times, which she had sewn herself from fabric, went to the county town with Xu Jing.
It takes about an hour to walk from Banqiao Brigade to the county town, but fortunately, once you leave the village, there is a newly built asphalt road, which is easy to walk on.
When they arrived in the county town and found Gu Ting, it was exactly ten o'clock.
The Gu Tingzhi before me was different from the one I had seen before. He had taken off his military uniform and was now wearing a Zhongshan suit with a pen in his jacket pocket.
Yes, that's a very typical outfit.
Meng Fuyan smiled and said, "Brother Gu!"
Gu Tingzhi looked at her smiling face, so radiant in the sunlight. He smiled slightly, then noticed the dust on her shoes and frowned slightly. "You walked all this way?"
Meng Fuyan nodded, "Yes! There are no cars from the village to here, so we have to walk."
"I'll buy you a bicycle. You can ride it wherever you want, or just call me. A girl shouldn't walk on the street for long periods of time; it would be terrible if she ran into a kidnapper!"
Meng Fuyan: "..."
Xu Jing: "..."
No way!
Are bicycles so common these days?
They just gave it away like that?
Meng Fuyan was still quite sensible about such a large purchase. "Thank you, Brother Gu, but you don't need to deliver it. I came here today to buy a bicycle. It will be more convenient to travel to and from the county town. I've sent my younger brother to the commune primary school, so it will be much easier to pick him up and drop him off in the future."
"Yunji is in school?"
"Okay!" Meng Fuyan nodded. When you're not familiar with someone, you have to get to know them little by little. That's how you gradually become familiar with them.
“He was too young, and there was no point in leaving him at the educated youth settlement. Children need to go to school, so I simply sent him to the commune primary school. The brigade leader wrote a letter of recommendation for him, and he got in easily.”
Gu Tingzhi nodded. "He really should go to school. Do you have a bicycle ticket?"
"some."
Meng Fuyan handed over the food in her hand, "Thank you for taking care of me all the way. I don't know how to repay you right now. This is something I made myself. Try it and see if it suits your taste. I'll repay you when I have the chance in the future."
Gu Tingzhi raised an eyebrow, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes. "A gift for me?"
Meng Fuyan nodded, "Yes! I made it myself, it's lunch I prepared for you."
Gu Tingzhi took it, a smile playing on his lips, clearly quite happy. He glanced at his watch and said, "I get off work at 11:30. I have time at noon, so you can go and have some fun first. Come back at 11:30, and I'll take you to my house to get acquainted with the place. We can also have lunch together. I have some good stuff there."
Meng Fuyan wouldn't miss the opportunity to get in touch with the big shot, so she immediately nodded, "Okay, I'll go buy a bicycle first and come over later."
"Um!"
Xu Jing seemed to have something to say, so Meng Fuyan left first. Watching the girl's departing figure, Xu Jing stroked his chin, "Ugh, she didn't even acknowledge me the whole time, unbelievable!"
Gu Tingzhi looked up at him and asked, "How do you want me to talk to you?"
Xu Jing: "..."
