On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many children came to our house, with Tiger leading the way.
Tingting went inside and grabbed a lot of roasted chestnuts for the children. After all, sugar isn't so easy to buy these days, so it's best not to waste it. Our main focus is on stability.
Tingting's belly isn't very big yet, and it's not obvious that she's pregnant, but she's already three months along. Worried that there might be something wrong with the baby, the two of them are planning to go to a hospital in the city to check on things.
Before dawn, the two wanted to go to the city to earn some money for baby formula, since they were eager to earn more.
Once it opens up, we'll prepare more houses for our children. As parents, we both have a strong desire to earn money.
I arrived in the city before dawn, remembering the place the older woman had told me about last time. I went inside and saw many people setting up stalls.
Seeing that someone was watching at the entrance, Jianjun told Tingting to wait for him at a distance so that everyone would think he had come alone. When he saw the person collecting tickets at the entrance, he prepared to ask about the situation.
"Hey young man, do you buy fish or wild boar? And rice too? Wow, you have such good stuff. Let me take you inside to see our boss. Come on over."
"Hello, the guy upstairs wants me to ship a batch of goods. How much can you buy?"
“How much do you have? We have 3,000 catties of fish, 1,000 catties of top-quality rice, 5 large wild boars, 10 wild rabbits, 500 catties of top-quality white flour, and 10 bundles of noodles.”
"We'll accept it, we definitely will."
“We want both the gold and the money. We’re open to either deal,” Jianjun said.
"Let's agree on a time and place."
"It's just 3,000 meters to the east, down that hillside, at 11 p.m. There's hardly anyone there."
"Okay, no problem, it's settled then."
After finishing their errands, Tingting and Jianjun went to the hospital. "Doctor, this is my wife. She's pregnant and wants to see how the baby is doing."
"Okay, I understand. Go pay the money and get a scan taken." After the scan came out, Jianjun immediately asked, "How did it go?"
"It's nothing serious. I don't think my wife's belly has gotten any bigger yet, so don't worry."
"It's only been 3 months, and all the nutrition is going to the baby. Eat more so the baby can grow faster."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
The two walked out of the hospital and, seeing that everything was alright, found a secluded spot and ate six large steamed buns for lunch. Now that Tingting is pregnant, she gets hungry easily and has a big appetite.
Just before the transaction was about to take place that evening, the two went to the transaction site and dumped the items from their spatial dimension onto the ground.
No one comes out after 11 pm. Lights and candles are expensive, so people go to bed early. There's no one watching over the hillside.
When the time came, the group took a look at the goods and were surprised to find that there were so many. They paid 6,000 yuan and received 5 small yellow croakers. After checking that everything was correct, they started packing up. Jianjun then ran towards Tingting's direction.
After the men here loaded the goods, they gave their subordinates a meaningful look. After all, it was a huge sum of money to be able to take it all, and they were making a killing. As for whether they had anyone behind them, they didn't care. If they had people, why shouldn't they have their own?
When Tingting saw a lot of people carrying sticks coming out from behind Jianjun, she knew something was wrong; her worst fear was about to come true.
They quickly released the car from the space. It was their private car from before they traveled through time, and it had enough gas. Jianjun saw Tingting making hand gestures in the distance, which was the secret signal they had agreed on at noon.
After all, it was his first time making such a transaction, and he was afraid. Getting caught would be a major incident that would implicate his whole family, so he ran forward as fast as he could.
Upon seeing the car, Tingting quickly got in, started the engine, and drove off at top speed. After all, things could go wrong if she didn't wait, and no one knew if such a large target would be discovered.
The people behind thought that even if this person had a group of men, so what? They had more people. But they didn't expect to see the person drive away in a car.
He reported to his boss that he had driven off in a car, and the boss got angry, saying, "Are you all useless? Hurry up and go back to get rid of the goods first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
The two drove quite a distance, and when no one was paying attention, they put the car back into their spatial storage, took out a bicycle, and Jianjun rode in front, with Tingting on the back.
Luckily, we were both careful. Money can be a powerful motivator. Jianjun, I was just thinking about that too.
6,000 yuan plus 5 goldfish, although the weight is relatively small, is still a considerable sum of money. Nowadays, a worker earns more than 30 yuan per goldfish, which is 20 years' salary for a worker.
Jianjun understood, but he was angry and couldn't swallow this insult. They were slandering us. We'll think of a way and wait.
The two did not go home. Fortunately, their disguise was good and no one discovered their true appearance. They wrote a letter in a handwriting that was not their own. They saw a child give them a dollar and asked them to take it to the police station.
After seeing him go inside, Tingting and Jianjun quickly rode their bikes home. When they reached the village entrance, they returned to their space, ate their meal there, and then went home as it got dark.
Their home was far from the village, so no one paid any attention to the two of them.
