Chapter 87: Contentment
Ding Gui realized he had lost his composure and quickly retracted his thoughts: "Yes, yes, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure when I came here. Now that I'm here, the food isn't as good as before, so I can't say for sure if my high blood pressure will go down. But I still need to pay attention to my emotions and not let them fluctuate too much."
Ding Xiaodie stared at him with her big watery eyes. He was burning newspapers to appease her. She couldn't see that there was something wrong with him, but she just didn't expose it in front of her mother!
Seeing the father and daughter about to study the map, Zhang Xiu turned around and said, "Okay, you guys watch, I'll go find my sisters and make some more straw sandals."
As soon as her mother left, Ding Xiaodie began to interrogate the old man: "Dad, what's wrong with you? You're not so excited after seeing the map, are you hiding something from us?"
Anyway, we are not in the same space now, and my daughter will definitely be on my side.
Ding Gui told the story of how he was cheated out of 20,000 yuan in his previous life. He was so sad after saying that. Was it easy for him to save that 20,000 yuan?
"What do I do?"
After listening to this, Ding Xiaodie patted his shoulder and said, "As a man, it's normal to secretly save some money even when your wife is very strict. It's good to have money. How about this, I'll give you some now, so that when our family has money in the future, we don't have to hand it over to my mother. Then you won't have the chance to save it even if you want to."
"Where do you get the money?" Ding Gui didn't take his daughter's words to heart, but he was a businessman and had been doing business all his life. It was true that he would feel uncomfortable without some money.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Xiaodie took out ten copper coins from her pocket: "Here, ten copper coins, keep them!"
This was what she exchanged for black truffles and space last time. She never needed it, and it would be difficult to fool Wang Dafeng if she suddenly said she had money, so she kept it secretly on her.
It came in handy right now. Ten copper coins couldn't buy much, but it was worth it if it could make my old father happy.
As expected, Ding Gui was very happy. This was the first time he saw what the money of this era looked like, and to him, wasn't it an antique?
"Where did it come from?" He quickly took it and studied it, blew into it, and then put it to his ear to listen like in TV dramas.
"Where else could it be?" Ding Xiaodie said, "While I have nothing to do now, I'll go in and take a look."
She would take some time every day to go into the space and take a look, because later she stored some more black truffles in it, and the number of things she wanted to exchange for increased, but they could only be stored in the storage room of the space, because there was no place to exchange things in the current reality.
So she really couldn't take anything out rashly. Fortunately, she had food and drinks now, so she might as well make do with it for now!
Taking advantage of this time to enter the space, Ding Xiaodie temporarily placed the cuckoo machine in the storage room.
When she saw the reactions of the villagers near the well, she knew that she couldn't move the cuckoo machine for the time being, so it would be safer to leave it inside.
Ding Xiaodie walked around the supermarket and found that the amount of mineral water had increased significantly. There was also a bag of rice and a bag of flour, as well as a bottle of rapeseed oil. What was even more unexpected was that there was also a bag of chocolate.
Oh my god!
Ding Xiaodie quickly tore open a piece and put it in her mouth. The taste of chocolate melted in her mouth. She had missed this damn sweet taste for too long.
beep!
At this moment, the TV screen suddenly responded, and Ding Xiaodie hurried over and called out, "Xiao Ding Xiao Ding, why is the reward so small today? I used the Cuckoo Machine to pump water and saved so many villagers. Isn't it worth your reward?"
Unexpectedly, a string of words flashed across the TV screen: Prize, that map is it.
"What? You got the map as a prize?"
Ding Xiaodie was completely confused. Now she no longer dared to say that she was lucky. It turned out that when good things happened, it was the system that was causing trouble, such as bumping into the rabbit at her feet.
The TV screen flashed again: "Come on, I'll give you a chance to win a prize."
This time the big disc was very impressive, with a lot of prizes written in each column. As long as it wasn't a thank you for patronage, she could have just turned it around with her eyes closed.
bite!
The turntable slowly stopped, and the red light around one of the columns kept flickering.
"Two heads of Chinese cabbage, two pounds of steak, a can of chili oil, a bag of tofu skin..." Ding Xiaodie flashed the words above. Not bad, not bad. Isn't this a perfect dish combination for boiled pork slices?
After reading these big words, she found another line of small words. She moved closer to see it clearly: a goat!
So good, a goat?
I thought I had gotten a great deal, but then I quickly looked at the other pens: a cow, a horse, two sheep, and twenty chickens!
When Ding Xiaodie saw that the other pens were better than her own, she almost became autistic. It turned out that one sheep was the least.
Never mind, having something is better than nothing anyway, so she thanked Xiao Ding with a smile, then took all these things from the shelf to the storage room and counted them: twenty bottles of mineral water of various sizes, two ten-kilogram bags of rice and two ten-kilogram bags of flour, a bottle of rapeseed oil, a cuckoo machine, and now two heads of Chinese cabbage, two pounds of steak, a can of chili oil, and a bag of tofu skin.
Yes, rich, rich!
Just when Ding Xiaodie was thinking that something seemed to be missing, meow!
Suddenly, a sheep's cry was heard behind her. She turned around and saw a half-grown black sheep rolling its eyes at her. This scared Ding Xiaodie, but soon some evil thoughts flashed through her mind.
For example, lamb skewers, lamb hotpot, etc...
The black sheep looked at her coldly, as if seeing through her.
Ding Xiaodie quickly laughed, pushed it into the storage room and closed it, then instructed Xiao Ding: "The environment I'm in right now doesn't allow sheep to come out, so I'll leave it here with you for now!"
This sheep would soon be targeted if taken out, and she had seen how the villagers reacted when they saw water.
So what will a group of people who have not had enough to eat for a long time do when they see a sheep?
It would probably put the Ding family in danger. Besides, it was so dry now that she couldn't find food for it if she took it out.
So Ding Xiaodie took the chocolate and left the space.
When she told her father about the food and the black sheep inside, Old Ding drooled: "It would be great if your mother and I could also enter the space. The three of us could have a hot pot in there."
"There's nothing we can do about it!" Ding Xiaodie broke off a piece of chocolate for her father: "Eat it quickly!"
The chocolate was rectangular. The father and daughter ate half of it and left the rest for their mother. Of course, Ding Xiaodie also secretly left some for Ding Xiang.
As for Wang Dafeng, he had to wait for the right time because he was afraid that she would become suspicious.
"Dad, what do you think after looking at the map?" After hiding the chocolate, Ding Xiaodie sat in front of her father.
Ding Gui scratched his head and said, "I see that the county town is not far from Yangliu Town, about fifty miles away. I wonder what the county town is like now."
"Yes, I think the same. We need to move on and see how much impact this place called Wo County has suffered. This step will have to be taken sooner or later."
