Chapter 56: Looking for Treasures



“Wife, I’ve prepared this letter of introduction. I’ll just use it as an excuse to go to the hospital to have Zhu Zi’s health checked, saying that the child has diarrhea.”

"You've really made it this day. Let's go to the hospital and take care of these details to avoid trouble. We won't be afraid of them checking up on us."

"That's true. When you lie, you have to cover it up, or you'll be found out sooner or later."

The two walked to the hospital, got some medicine, and then decided to go to the scrap metal recycling station.

"Grandpa, I'd like to see if you have any notebooks like this. I want to take a look so my child can practice writing."

"Okay, go ahead. We'll weigh it by weight, so pick whatever you like."

Tingting rummaged through the things, looking at all the good stuff inside. "Honey, what is this? It looks like a wine glass. I stored it away using my spatial storage."

This bird-patterned item looks like a good thing too. All the vases with complex patterns and those similar to things from old TVs were put into the space.

The two of them spent the afternoon picking out items, and when they felt they had enough, they took a lot of notebooks and all the tables, chairs, and benches with special patterns.

"You two want so much, you even want this wood?" the old man asked in surprise.

“Grandpa, these are all supplied now, aren’t they? This stuff would be good for firewood,” Jianjun replied.

"Okay, that'll be 5 yuan in total."

Neither of them knew how to appraise these old items. If something looked good and they could openly take it, they would buy it; otherwise, they would store it in their spatial storage. Anyway, they didn't plan to come back again, and no one would notice all the things here.

Tingting hummed a song, feeling very happy, after all, this was also a source of income. The two of them secretly put all the items into their space when no one was looking.

Back home, we had a little wine, some braised pork belly, some Mapo tofu, and two bowls of rice. It was delicious. We were both hungry, so we started wolfing down our food. Moving out was so liberating and convenient!

Tingting started packing the old items in the space into boxes, separating the larger items so they would be easier to find later.

"It's so cold in the middle of winter," Tingting exclaimed.

After finishing their meal, the two lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) to prepare for the winter. Their only task was to sneak into town to exchange wine, but they had to do it secretly so they wouldn't be afraid of being caught later.

"Honey, this juice is so delicious! Chipping it with snow makes it even more refreshing."

"Finally, I feel free. I'll shovel snow tomorrow morning. I can rest in this house today."

"Wife, in two years people will start going to the countryside. It won't really start until the 66th year. What should we do?"

“I think the first thing my husband should do is get away from this educated youth settlement. This place, where people read novels, is bound to be full of trouble.”

"Secondly, let's see if there are any other time travelers. Since the second one has already appeared, how far away can the third one be?"

"Third, since our son won't be able to go to school then, we'll use the books from our recycling station and the books from our space to educate him."

"Fourth, we should continue hunting in the mountains. In addition, we should hunt more game and earn more money in the next four years. We should be able to save up 100,000 yuan to build up a family fortune for our children and allow us to retire early."

"Fifth is collecting wine, rare medicinal herbs, old objects, and things like goldfish."

"The sixth and most important point is to survive."

"Wife, your summary of the day is spot on."

"You're practically our family's female Zhuge Liang, so farsighted."

Tingting laughed when she heard him teasing her, "You just know how to make fun of me all day long."

"I'm not just teasing you. I'm being sincere from the bottom of my heart. Look, it's really true."

Tingting rolled her eyes at him. "I'm impressed by you. You're too talkative."
