"Ah Shen, that girl has a lot of clever ideas, so don't worry about her."
"Come, sit down, I want to talk to you." Old Master Xia beckoned Gu Shen to sit next to him.
Gu Shen glanced at Xia Anyan, then at Old Master Xia, and finally sat down.
Xia Anyan smiled, then turned and left.
Gu Shen wanted to follow, but the old man stopped him. He knew what his granddaughter was going to do, so of course he couldn't let Gu Shen go with her.
Although she knew that this kid was on her side with her granddaughter, letting him know and not letting him know were two different things.
"Grandpa, is it really okay for Ayan to be like this?"
Grandpa Xia glanced at him, knowing that the young man was genuinely worried about his granddaughter. He smiled and said, "You rascal, don't you trust your wife? She has her own abilities. Let her do whatever she wants, and she will definitely protect herself."
Since Grandpa Xia had already said so, Gu Shen couldn't refuse and could only nod.
After leaving home, Xia Anyan quickly slipped into her spatial dimension, changed her clothes and put on makeup, transforming back into the appearance of that woman.
She found the black market and went to see Boss Xiong.
When Xiong Laoda heard that the man had come looking for him, he was somewhat surprised.
Recently, he went to the designated location at the designated time and indeed picked up a lot of goods there.
These goods were exactly as he had seen them before, with no other ingredients mixed in, which pleased him.
So when he heard that she had arrived, he was very happy and had someone bring her in directly.
"Hey little sister, what brings you here today? Is there something you need to talk to me about?"
It has to be said that this Boss Xiong is indeed very smart. Before Xia Anyan could even say anything, he had already guessed it.
Xia Anyan smiled and didn't keep them in suspense.
When dealing with this kind of person, you have to be direct and honest. The more you beat around the bush, the more dissatisfied they will become, and it might even backfire.
"Brother, it's like this, I came to you this time because I want you to help me get a pig."
“My younger brother is getting married and taking a wife. The bride’s family is very nice, and my family likes her, so we’re thinking of making the wedding a grand affair.”
"We can't take anything out right now. Besides sending the bride price to the bride's family, we've decided to get a pig so everyone can sit down and have a taste and have some fun."
“Our whole brigade comes from the same place. We all work together, and we got this pig to feed the people in our brigade. Our brigade leader approved it. But we can’t make this ourselves, so we had to come to you.”
After hearing what she said, Xiong Laoda's smile broadened.
It's rare to see someone so extravagant as to ask for a whole pig these days.
But this person is different from the others.
She didn't know how she managed to get so much grain at once, and it was better than grain from other places. He didn't do it for any other reason than to befriend such a person in the future, and he wouldn't refuse.
Besides, he made a lot of money after working with this person.
In order to earn a little more money, he also had to coax people.
"Sure, young lady. This is the first time you've asked me for help, so I'll definitely do my best to get it done for you."
“But this live pig is not easy to handle. Here’s what I’ll do: give me a few days. Once I’ve found out what’s going on, I’ll go to that place and leave you a message to contact you.”
Xia Anyan thought for a moment and nodded.
Since she was asking Boss Xiong to do something, she would definitely have to give him a reward.
She took out some pretty fabrics from her storage space and put them into the bamboo basket she had brought.
She lifted the cloth off the bamboo basket and placed it in front of Xiong Laoda.
"Brother Xiong, I didn't come empty-handed this time. This is a gift I brought for you. These fabrics are all from Shanghai. Do you like them?"
Boss Xiong was indeed very interested when he heard her say that.
He took out the bolts of cloth and examined them carefully, growing more and more fond of them with each look.
"Young lady, you're amazing! I've tried so many ways to get this stuff, but I couldn't. I never expected you to bring out so much at once."
“Big sister, you’re amazing,” Boss Xiong said, giving a thumbs up. “I’ll give you the highest price on the black market for this stuff. Let’s keep things separate. You’ve done me a huge favor by bringing me this good stuff. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely handle the pig matter with all my heart.”
Xiong Laoda didn't want to owe anyone a favor. Xia Anyan was going to spend money on this pig. If he took the cloth for free, how would he ask for money later?
Xiong Laoda had a clear plan in mind, and Xia Anyan was also very clear about it.
She agreed.
After Xia Anyan returned, she simply nodded to Grandpa Xia, knowing that the matter had been settled.
When Zhang Junan and Liu Wangchun returned, Grandpa Xia told them about the matter.
"You two are not getting any younger, and it's not a good way to keep going like this. I think you two are quite interested in each other, so why don't you just get married already?"
Zhang Junan and Liu Wangchun exchanged a glance before quickly looking away.
Liu Wangchun blushed, lowered his head, and remained silent.
She wanted to marry Zhang Jun'an as soon as possible, but she was a woman after all, how could she be so proactive?
As a man, Zhang Junan certainly wouldn't let a woman take the initiative in this kind of thing.
So, he coughed lightly and turned to look at Liu Wangchun: "Comrade Liu, after spending this time together, I... I want to become your revolutionary partner, and I hope you will agree."
Liu Wangchun's face flushed red instantly. She nodded, and although she didn't say anything, her excitement was evident.
Grandpa Xia laughed heartily: "Good, good, good. Since you two agree, I'll go and have someone prepare the banquet for you."
"Although we don't know many people here, we still need to have everything we need."
Liu Wangchun looked up at the old man, hesitating to speak.
"Comrade Liu, please speak your mind. We'll be family soon, so there's nothing to be shy about."
Zhang Junan also looked at Liu Wangchun, waiting for her to speak.
Whatever Liu Wangchun wanted, he would do his best to make it happen.
"Grandpa, actually... I'm a divorcee, so I don't need to prepare those things. I'm already very happy that you don't mind and are willing to let me be with Jun'an."
Grandpa Xia and Zhang Jun'an both frowned, clearly displeased.
Liu Wangchun thought he had said something wrong, and his heart skipped a beat.
She was even more worried that Zhang Junan might not want to marry her anymore, and her eyes reddened.
