Most of the people in their community have just borrowed work points from the government to barely afford to eat, so where would they find the spare money to buy expensive ice cream?
"Mom, we don't lack work points. You cook and do housework every day, plus you have to take care of the vegetable garden and the fields from time to time. You're already tired enough. Where do you have the energy to do business?"
After being reborn, Xu Lai's only goal is to ensure her family lives well, just like they do now.
As for a life of great wealth and luxury, she neither expects nor envies it.
"Sigh, I just wanted to do my part for the family. Think about how hot it is, and how you, a young woman, are out early and back late looking for business for the family. I just wanted to ease your burden!"
"Yes, we'll go with you to deliver fruit tomorrow!"
Grandpa Xu stopped scooping ice cream and said to Xu Lai.
"I'm going too!"
"I want to go too!"
Xu Haiguo and Xu Chao also expressed their opinions.
After listening to everyone's words, Xu Lai was both moved and somewhat helpless.
What's touching is that since her rebirth, no matter how the external environment changes, the hearts of this family of five have always been united, and they have always been a warm family that cares for each other.
This gave her the strength to persevere no matter what difficulties she encountered.
For example, the day she learned that Xu Yongqing and Xu Zhen had died in a remote mountainous coal mine in City C was actually the same day in her previous life when she and her brother were killed by Xu Zhen's family.
In other words, memories of the previous life also end on that day.
From that day onward, how would the environment change? What major events would occur? Xu Lai had no idea.
Although she had a mysterious space as her backing, she was actually somewhat apprehensive about the future.
What if another major earthquake happens sometime? Or what if another ice age apocalypse?
Either way, it would be extremely dangerous for them.
That's why she needs to make thorough preparations in advance, so that if the next apocalyptic disaster strikes, she will be able to escape with her whole family.
Since the whole family couldn't fit on her electric tricycle to deliver fruit, Xu Lai only let Xu Haiguo come along.
The next morning, Xu Lai got up early. She first called Chen Cheng to arrange a time, and after eating two bowls of chicken noodles made by Song Qiu'e, she went downstairs with Xu Haiguo.
The two got on the electric tricycle and found a secluded spot. Xu Lai then used her mind to place all the fruit she had stored in her spatial storage into the back of the tricycle.
After putting the fruit out, Xu Lai took out a heat insulation cotton sheet from Cong Jian and Xu Haiguo covered the fruit in the back of the electric tricycle tightly.
Despite the extreme heat, many people got up early, and the two of them rode along in an electric tricycle.
The fully loaded cargo compartment of this tricycle attracted the attention of people who were out early to make a living.
Many people even considered robbing the electric tricycle because it only had a young girl and a middle-aged man on board.
Sure enough, three young men strolling on the street not far away noticed Xu Lai, Xu Haiguo, and the goods on the tricycle. The three of them immediately stopped and exchanged meaningful glances.
"Brother, there's definitely something good in the back of that electric tricycle!"
The shorter man spoke excitedly to the tallest man.
"Putting everything else aside, this electric tricycle alone is worth a lot of money!"
The man of medium height, wearing a black vest and covered in tattoos on his arms, also looked very happy.
If they could steal this electric tricycle and secretly sell it, it would be enough to feed the three brothers for a long time!
"Okay, we'll wait in this alley. Once the tricycle arrives, we'll get to work quickly!"
The tallest and thinnest of the three men gave instructions in a low voice.
"Okay, big brother, we'll get ready right away!"
The three walked less than ten steps forward and came to an alley. As soon as they entered the alley, they immediately took out the daggers that were at their waists.
Xu Lai was riding his electric tricycle a little over a hundred meters to the left of the road where the three of them had just strolled.
"Dad, something's not right at the alleyway ahead. Let's get the stun guns ready!"
Xu Lai observed the three men's every move.
Her face darkened, and she quickly reminded her father sitting beside her.
"Okay, Lai Lai, when you get to that alley, speed up and rush through. I'm all ready here!"
Upon hearing his daughter's words, Xu Haiguo immediately became anxious.
He took out the extendable stun gun he always carried with him from his pocket and swung it around, ready to fight.
Xu Lai actually wanted to take out the gun from the space, but the army stationed in City C is now strictly controlling firearms.
If she fired at the enemy and happened to run into patrolling soldiers, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.
Xu Lai also hates trouble the most.
Xu Lai gripped the handlebars of the electric tricycle tightly with both hands. As the tricycle drew closer to the alley entrance, Xu Lai tightened his grip on the tricycle's speed with his right hand.
"Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters, seven meters, six meters, five meters, start accelerating!"
Xu Lai silently recited this in her heart.
"Dad, sit down!"
When they were about five meters away from the alley entrance, Xu Lai reminded her father and then suddenly accelerated the electric tricycle to its maximum speed.
Sitting on the left side of the driver's seat of the electric tricycle, Xu Haiguo hurriedly gripped the stun gun he had already swung away with one hand and held tightly to the back handrail of the driver's seat with the other.
"Here we come, charge!"
