Ever since she was ejected from the supermarket that day, Xia Wenhua has tried to enter the supermarket again, but has always failed.
In the past, although she could only take things once a week, if she wanted to go in and inspect her empire every day, there was no problem at all.
The portable space that came with her cheat ability was always available before. After that day, she could still take out the things she had stored in her portable space, but she couldn't put anything else in it anymore.
Xia Wenhua had tried every possible method, but her "golden finger" seemed to have never existed; no matter how much she called out, there was no response.
It's something mysterious and elusive, so since there's no way to deal with it, Xia Wenhua simply stopped thinking about it.
Life goes on. No matter what the inside story of her time travel is, having an extra lifetime is a good thing, and she can't waste this precious time.
Xia Wenhua is never one to make things difficult for herself; she simply puts aside problems she can't solve.
It's already Mid-Autumn Festival, and right now everyone is focused on working hard to create value, so no one is taking a holiday early in the morning.
All units will continue with normal work hours, but the afternoon closing time will be one hour earlier than usual to allow everyone time to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Everyone in Commander Yin's family has a job, and no one was there when we arrived early in the morning. We arranged to go together in the evening. During the day, Xia Wenhua and Pei Ying packed the gifts together.
Xia Wenhua had previously said that she would prepare the gift herself, but Pei Yinggang was unable to leave the house after recovering from his illness, so he had to leave the matter to Xia Wenhua.
If it were anything else, she trusted Xia Wenhua to handle the matter herself and never asked any questions. But visiting her long-lost brother's home was a big deal for Pei Ying, so after finishing her preparations, she couldn't help but ask about the gift Xia Wenhua had prepared.
Hearing Pei Ying mention the gift, Xia Wenhua couldn't help but think of the exasperating supermarket, and her expression subconsciously turned somewhat unpleasant. She paused for a moment.
Pei Ying had been observing Xia Wenhua's expression and, seeing this, assumed that Xia Wenhua had forgotten, so she quickly comforted her.
"It's alright, you've been too busy lately. We can still go buy it now. They haven't closed yet, and the supply and marketing cooperative might have some good stuff today!"
While she was in the hospital, Xia Wenhua cooked meals at home every day and delivered them to the hospital. She also had to pick up and drop off her two children at home.
The old ladies in the same ward all envied her for having such a good daughter-in-law. Pei Ying was a person who cherished her blessings and never thought that Xia Wenhua had any bad qualities.
If it weren't for this daughter-in-law's willingness to tolerate her, and if Xia Wenhua had been like the other daughters-in-law in the family, she probably wouldn't have been able to find her brother, and would probably have died from her illness long ago.
Yin Yu said that although her stomach ulcer has not yet developed into stomach cancer, her condition is already very serious.
If left untreated, it will eventually develop into stomach cancer and threaten life.
In Pei Ying's eyes, Xia Wenhua was not only her daughter-in-law, but also her savior.
Not wanting Xia Wenhua to be unhappy in the slightest, she immediately tried to comfort her. As she spoke, she was about to get dressed and leave when Xia Wenhua, who had come to her senses, stopped her.
"Mom, what are you saying? You've told me so many times about going to Commander Yin's house. How could I forget? I was just thinking about something else. Don't worry about it. I'll go get the gift right now."
Even though she was preoccupied with the supermarket issue these past two days, Xia Wenhua didn't neglect her work at all.
She had already packed the gifts for the Yin family: pastries from the supermarket, white and brown sugar from her previous stock, and some peach shortbread from the local supply and marketing cooperative.
Add in other odds and ends, and it would take up a whole bag.
Pei Ying was planning to buy more things when she went to her brother's house, but even so, she couldn't help but be amazed when she saw what Xia Wenhua had prepared.
"I can't let you pay for this, I'll give it to you."
Xia Wenhua's preparations were much better than she had imagined; many of them were high-quality items that money couldn't buy, making them very impressive gifts.
Upon seeing the gift, Pei Ying's initial trepidation instantly subsided.
She didn't know what kind of temperament her brother-in-law, whom he hadn't described in detail, was, but politeness was never a bad thing. She had already taken so many things; a normal person would certainly not cause any more unpleasantness.
Pei Ying took out three ten-yuan bills from her pocket and handed them to Xia Wenhua without any hesitation.
"Wenhua, you've prepared this well. Besides the money, you must have used a lot of coupons. I don't have any coupons here, so I can't make up for it for you. I'll just give you some extra money instead. Take it."
Xia Wenhua certainly couldn't accept the money. She snatched it from Pei Ying's hand with lightning speed and then stuffed it into her pocket.
"Mom, we're family, don't talk like that. If I need you to give me money for a gift when I visit relatives, what kind of person would I be? Hurry up and put it on."
Even if these things were to be bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, they wouldn't cost thirty yuan. For her to charge Pei Ying thirty yuan was pure bullying.
Pei Ying had never mentioned giving money for normal household expenses, for fear of becoming too distant from her daughter-in-law. But the gift she prepared this time was an extra expense, and it must have cost a lot of money. She felt that she couldn't just accept it without a clear conscience.
"I'm not being polite with you. You always pay for everything, and I don't have anywhere to spend money. It would be a waste for me to keep the money. You can take it."
Xia Wenhua was impatient with the back-and-forth with Pei Ying. If Pei Ying was the kind of mother-in-law who didn't know how to handle things and caused trouble for her every day, making the house uneasy, she wouldn't give her a gift, no matter how much money she had.
Pei Ying has a good personality and had helped the original owner a lot in the past.
Pei Songbai wasn't here after we came from Hongshan Village. If Pei Ying hadn't helped take care of the two children, she would have been in a lot of trouble.
This amount of money is nothing to her, not to mention that a lot of it comes from supermarkets, which is essentially a risk-free business, so she really doesn't need to take money from Pei Ying.
“Mother, Songbai is your son, so he has a responsibility to be filial to you. Now that he’s gone, his salary is with me, and it’s your share of it.”
"I'm offering you money now, but you won't take it. You certainly won't have to pay for everyday household expenses. Just pretend you don't need anything, okay? Don't be polite with me."
Xia Wenhua spoke earnestly, and as she spoke, she rolled up the money back into the same way she had taken it out, and Pei Ying didn't take it out again.
Hearing Xia Wenhua mention Pei Songbai, she paused for a moment, then sighed.
"The festival is coming soon. I wonder where Songbai is celebrating it, and whether he is having a good time."
This made Xia Wenhua feel a little down.
Xia Wenhua only spent a few months with Pei Songbai, but his responsibility and care still left a mark on her heart.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunion, Pei Songbai, who is busy away from home, is probably doing something. Is he homesick?
