Chapter 143: Quite a Few Good Things



Yu Yuneng is a figure from textbooks, a second-in-command, and his father was a founding father of the nation.

The Yu family had four brothers, all of whom followed their father in the revolution. However, three of them died in the war more than 20 years ago, leaving only the youngest, Yu Yuneng.

The old man of the Yu family should be retired now, but his influence should not be underestimated. Yu Yuneng's position in the military should also be quite high, probably at least a division commander.

Lu Yuan smiled and replied to Yu Shaoheng, "Your parents' names are indeed beautiful. How old are they? Do you have any other siblings?"

Yu Shaoheng answered truthfully, "My dad will be 39 next month. My mom is a year younger than my dad. I am an only child and I don't have any other siblings."

Wow, a 39-year-old division commander is really young.

With three older brothers who had sacrificed their lives at such a young age, and only one son in the family, it's no wonder that his family cherished him so much and couldn't bear to let him suffer.

An only child is a precious treasure in any family!

There's just one thing I don't understand: why don't families like theirs have more children? Yu Yuneng is the only one left in his generation, so logically, he should have had more children, right?

However, this was their private family matter, and he couldn't keep asking.

After the three of them washed the dishes and tidied up the kitchen, Lu Yuan led the two to their room, where Wen Moxue had already prepared a lot of things and put them in the cabinet.

Lu Yuan locked the door and opened the cabinet, letting the two of them choose whatever they wanted.

The two of them stared wide-eyed at the dazzling array of items in the cabinet.

"So many!" Yu Shaoheng exclaimed.

"Shh!" Lu Yuan gestured for him to keep his voice down.

"Take whatever you want. If you don't have it, just tell me and I'll get it for you later."

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow. Judging from his tone, this guy had connections. No wonder he was able to get so many good things.

Yu Shaoheng's eyes lit up with excitement, and he started picking and choosing.

First, they asked for two enamel basins, and gave one to Xiao Fan.

"You need this too."

Then I took a towel, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and even a box of face cream.

Then came the food: White Rabbit milk candy, malted milk powder, glutinous rice strips, biscuits, canned mandarin oranges, chocolate, etc. He took a portion of everything that was available.

Soon the basin couldn't hold any more, so Lu Yuan quickly found a new luggage bag for him.

"Would you like this bag? It's perfect for packing your things."

Yu Shaoheng nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

This bag can be used to store things normally, and it's also convenient for packing luggage when traveling. He liked it at first sight.

Lu Yuan smiled as he put the things into his bag, then looked at Xiao Fan and asked, "Do you want them?"

Xiao Fan thought for a moment and nodded.

Lu Yuan's smile widened. He had gotten the bag from the Space Mall, specifically choosing one that was similar in style to this era, so it cost nothing.

The supply and marketing cooperative wants to sell it for fifteen or sixteen yuan, so it's not unreasonable for him to sell it for fifteen.

I can earn 30 yuan today just from making two bags, which is almost a month's salary for an average worker.

Xiao Fan also asked for towels, toothpaste, and soap, but not face cream, and also took a thermos.

When Yu Shaoheng saw him take the thermos, he realized that he should get one too, so he quickly grabbed the other thermos that was left in the box and hugged it to his chest.

Xiao Fan didn't take many side dishes, as he doesn't like sweets and most of these side dishes were sweet.

He asked, "Are there many rabbits and pheasants?"

Look at this question! In this day and age, which family doesn't lack food, let alone meat? Yet, none of them seemed to think there was anything wrong with it.

"How many do you want?" Lu Yuan asked.

How much can you come up with?

Lu Yuan laughed, "If you two can't finish it, why don't you name a price?"

This means he has a lot.

Xiao Fan was surprised. Had he underestimated his strength?

He tentatively replied, "Four a month."

"No problem, one a day is fine."

Yu Shaoheng's eyes widened. "Really, we can eat meat every day?"

"Of course, as long as you're not afraid of being too flashy."

Lu Yuan and his family eat meat every day, but since their home is far from the village center, no one knows they eat meat at every meal.

Eating meat every day is indeed too ostentatious, and even if Yu Shaoheng is naive, he knows that it is inappropriate.

He swallowed hard, and finally agreed with Xiao Fan, saying, "Four a month, whether it's pheasants or rabbits."

"In addition, I need four more each month to send back home."

"no problem."

Lu Yuan grinned from ear to ear. The two of them had twelve pheasants and rabbits every month, which, at four yuan each, amounted to nearly fifty yuan.

There are plenty of wild chickens and rabbits in the space now, so it can be considered a risk-free business, and this money is earned for free.

After the two had chosen their items, Lu Yuan gave each of them a list with the names and prices of the items. In the end, Yu Shaoheng spent 102.3 yuan, and Xiao Fan spent 58.2 yuan.

Lu Yuan rounded down the price for the two of them.

Xiao Fan readily paid the money, Yu Shaoheng gave him ten yuan, and wrote an IOU for the remaining 92 yuan.

As the two finished packing and were about to leave, Lu Yuan asked again, "Do you need blankets? The weather is getting cold soon, you'll need thick quilts."

He then opened the wardrobe door and showed the two of them the two new quilts inside.

The large cotton quilts were all covered with quilt covers. These quilt covers weren't hand-sewn with needles and thick hemp rope in this era; they were made of a plaid fabric found in the space. This kind of plaid fabric was quite common and wouldn't arouse suspicion.

"The duvet cover was made by ourselves from fabric we bought, so it's easy to remove and wash."
