Chapter 42 41. Vase [asking for monthly ticket]

Huaiyu was not panicked at all.

She said slowly, as if complaining: "My brother didn't tell me..."

"Oh." Thinking of her wasteful behavior of spending cents to buy those dates last time, the middle-aged man suddenly understood again, and smacked his lips with satisfaction:

"Anyway, that clothing is specially made. It's not easy for you to wear that kind of clothing, girl. Explorers sometimes buy some damaged or defective clothing, but they won't suit you, so just give up."

Huaiyu nodded, staring at the other person's hands that were slowly shoveling beans, his eyes gradually becoming dazed.

The middle-aged man didn't notice it at all. He picked up the bag and felt it. "I didn't ask how big your planting area is? I estimate that there are ten kilograms. Is it enough?"

"Leguminous plants are cheap, only three cents per pound. If you are brave enough to plant them, try the method I mentioned. Don't skimp on this, it's not necessary."

Huaiyu nodded without saying whether it was enough or not: "Thank you, uncle."

After she got the bag in her hand, she suddenly asked, "Does the garrison often go to the wilderness alone to carry out missions?"

"Who knows?" The middle-aged man carried the bag to the cashier: "It all depends on the battle plan. But the wasteland is so dangerous, so they usually work together... If you go alone, ah! I guess your mutation value will break through..."

He suddenly stopped talking, then slowed down his pace and looked at Huaiyu seriously: "Sister, did someone from your family go there on their own? A garrison soldier? Or an explorer?"

Huaiyu paused and nodded: "The garrison troops."

The other person's expression suddenly became sad, as if he couldn't bear it, but also seemed to have pity and respect.

After a while, he whispered, "It's okay. I guess there are some instructions from the higher-ups... Well, don't worry about it. Just save some points and live a good life."

He took Huaiyu's bag and put it on the scale first. He wanted to say that he would get a discount if she brought her martyr certificate, but this girl seemed to be so well protected, and her brother had tried his best to keep it a secret, so he shouldn't say anything.

So he sighed and kept silent.

Huaiyu picked up the bag but did not leave immediately. The seed shop still had many vegetables that could grow quickly in 20 days, and also came with planting instructions.

She picked and chose and selected a few more.

But when I was checking out at the door, I saw the middle-aged man's back walking away, and for some reason, I looked a little dazed again.

She could probably guess what the other person wanted to say.

Lin Xuefeng said that once the mutation value exceeds the critical value, people will go crazy and then die.

He also said that it would be romantic to have roses accompany you in the wilderness.

It goes without saying why he walked alone through the rose corridor on a rainy night.

"A total of 132 points." The seed shop owner casually took out the transaction ring. Huaiyu came to his senses and quickly paid the bill.

What a pity.

She was carrying a backpack, looking at the dark clouds in the sky with a bit of melancholy, then looking at the people coming and going on the pedestrian street. She couldn't help but think once again of the other people in snow-white uniforms, smiling helplessly at her in the rain, and her heart was filled with infinite sadness.

…

But no matter how sad you are, life must go on.

Huaiyu cheered up and after much thought, decided to buy a quilt, a pillow and a bed sheet.

After all, it was uncomfortable to use a sleeping bag every day, which restricted her hands and feet. Now that she had no urgent survival needs, she would use the points to improve her life! But before that, she went to the store that sold rice, flour, grain and oil.

"How much is a pound of rice? Good quality ones."

The shop owner lazily raised his head and said, "The price has increased. A pound with a mutation value of 13 is 35 yuan."

"The best mutation value is 14, 32 points."

Huaiyu suddenly felt that he was not so rich anymore.

But she was really greedy, so she said, "Give me two kilograms of the worst rice and flour."

The boss didn't even raise his head: "What do you use to put it?"

Huaiyu: ...

She then went next door and bought two kimchi jars. Although they were plastic, the ceramic jars were really heavy, so she had to make do with them for the time being.

I also bought ten plastic bags, which can be used for rice and flour.

After thinking about it, I turned around and bought a stainless steel lunch box with a lid - this one was the most expensive because it could be heated directly on the fire, and it cost me 35 cents.

"Two kilograms of fresh pork fat! Two kilograms of the 10-cent rice and flour."

Since I can purify myself, I would rather be a little tired, just in case I can save some points.

After thinking for a while, he added: "Weigh the dried chili pepper for me too..."

She wanted to say half a catty, but when she saw the price was 185 per catty, she quickly changed her words and said, "Weigh two taels."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Another packet of salt."

After looking around, he decided that it was enough to eat for now, so he stuffed the food into the backpack with satisfaction and prepared to go buy a quilt.

The 810 points I had just earned were reduced to 338 points in an instant. Adding the more than 200 points before, my deposit successfully returned to 570.

It’s just that the things in the backpack are too heavy, weighing more than 17 kilograms in total. She is really afraid that she will not grow taller because of the weight.

But a round trip into the city takes four hours. Although Huaiyu doesn't want to carry a lot of bags every time, this is the reality. She still has to carry heavy things to buy bedding and clothes.

After all, it was too humid, and the clothes couldn't dry after washing. I could only watch them dry by the fire, which was really troublesome.

A set of brand new underwear costs 50 cents. Huaiyu listened to the customers chatting in the store. It seems that the price has increased after the rain, and according to the forecast, it will continue for three or four days...

So even though everyone complains, they still have to buy it.

A four-jin silk cotton quilt costs 168 points, and an old coarse cloth bed sheet costs 40 points. After much persuasion, the other party finally agreed to give her a pillowcase.

She looked around the store for a long time and finally bought herself a more comfortable set of home clothes.

She didn't buy second-hand clothes, so she lost 80 points again.

On rainy days, I can only stay in the tree house, so I still need to find a way to make myself more comfortable.

But after all this shopping spree, the points in my hand returned to 232 points.

She sighed silently and accepted that her savings would never exceed 300 points.

With a backpack filled with bags of all sizes and a vacuum-packed quilt, sheets and pillowcases in his hands, Huaiyu looked at the time and saw that it was already past noon, so he took one last look at the pedestrian street and turned to leave.

A moment later she returned and spent 10 cents lavishly at the grocery store, buying a small, cute, tall white porcelain vase.

The grocery store owner was a tall, thin lady. Seeing her carrying bags full of daily necessities, she advised her, "Girl, choose a big vase so you can hold water or other things. Your vase is too small. Although it's cheaper than others, it can't do anything. It's not worth it. It's not worth it."

Huaiyu shook his head: "Thank you, Auntie. I don't have much to share. This is all I want."

She put the vase away under her boss's disapproving gaze, then put the heavy backpack back on and turned to leave Hongsheng Pedestrian Street.
