Chapter 101 Can't Be Outdone



He could probably guess who sent the things to her. It was most likely her godfather. He was the only one in Heng City who still cared about this helpless little girl.

It seems that after returning to the army, he will have to send more things to Xiaoyu. He can't let himself be outdone by his godfather.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet, but I ate some cookies at home before I went out, so I'm not too hungry yet. Let's eat together after Youyou and the others come back."

Yan Ziyuan usually had no other opinions on what she said.

"So is there anywhere else you want to go?"

"No, this time I came mainly to come to the post office. Do you have somewhere to go? I can go with you."

He went to the town today because Jin Kai insisted that he treat him to a meal at the state-owned restaurant. He was not familiar with other places, so there was nothing interesting to see.

Feeling the weight of the things sent by Xiao Yu's godfather in the backpack behind him, he decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative again.

"If you don't have anywhere else to go, come with me to the supply and marketing cooperative so I can buy some things."

The supply and marketing cooperative and grain store in Lisha Town shared a large shop, one on the left and one on the right, each with a salesperson.

Before they came in, Lai Hongyun was chatting happily with the salesperson in the grain store with a smile on his face.

When he saw Song Fuyu coming, he quickly stood up and greeted her.

"Song Zhiqing, what are you going to buy today?"

Song Fuyu shook his head and pointed at Yan Ziyuan next to him: "I don't buy it, he buys it."

"He's not your boyfriend, is he?"

Lai Hongyun whispered into Song Fuyu's ear and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Sister Hongyun, could you please stop being so gossipy?"

"Haha, I just think you two look very compatible."

Seeing that Song Fuyu was a little embarrassed, she stopped joking.

"Comrade, what do you want to order?"

Yan Ziyuan took out all the tickets he had on him from his pocket. With his current level, he was given 28 kilograms of food coupons every month, as well as some other tickets.

If he was not on a mission, he would eat in the cafeteria, so he had little use for money and tickets.

Since the mission was not in the mountains this time, I brought some extra food coupons with me, which could be used to stock up some fine grains for her.

"Give me thirty kilograms of rice."

Xiao Yu is from Heng City. People there are used to eating white rice and rarely eat pasta.

"Would you like to buy some flour and noodles?"

He turned and asked Song Fuyu who was casually looking at him at the counter.

"Ah? Did you buy it for me?"

"Hmm~"

"You are only given such a small amount of fine grains. I see that you don't seem to like eating coarse grains, so I'll buy you some rice. If you don't want to eat coarse grains in the future, don't force yourself. Don't worry, the money I give you every month is enough to keep you well fed and well-dressed."

Although Song Fuyu didn't show it on his face, his heart was warmed by his words.

"No need to buy it, I'll buy it when I'm done eating."

In the end, Yan Ziyuan still bought her some snacks. The envious Lai Hongyun kept secretly telling her that she had found a good partner.

When the two arrived at the state-owned hotel, Jin Kai and others were already waiting there.

"Why did you buy so much rice? Why not buy some noodles? I only know how to cook noodles."

"Don't think about it, I didn't buy it for you."

"......"

"You are so good, Yan Ziyuan. I have completely seen through you. I must give you a good meal at noon today."

Yan Ziyuan was not panicked at all. The state-owned restaurant had a rule that one person could only order two dishes. If one ordered a staple food such as noodles or wontons, they could only order one dish. Even if he wanted to charge more, there was no such condition.

Although Jin Kai talked a lot before entering, he only ordered a braised pork and a chicken stewed with potatoes.

"Xiao Yu, order two dishes you like, too."

"I'll just have one braised fish, you can order one too, but don't order too much or you won't be able to finish it."

Her godfather had taken her to a state-owned restaurant to order food before. The portions were similar to those of Northeastern cuisine in later generations. The main feature was that the prices were affordable but the portions were incredibly large.

The time they spent on eating caused them to miss the ox cart returning to the village.

Yan Ziyuan carried her backpack with the snacks and rice she bought and handed them directly to Jin Kai, under the pretext of letting him exercise and walk with weights.

"I finally got a day off, but you still forced me to work for you. You are simply not a human being."

"You have the nerve to say that with the little work you do every day, you're not even as good as that little girl."

"Little girl? Only in your heart, she is a delicate little girl..."

He didn't dare speak loudly and could only mutter quietly.

Which little girl, who came from the city to the countryside not long ago, can earn full work points? She works faster than the old hands in the village.

Before she came, Jin Kai earned seven or eight work points every day, which was considered good among the educated youth and was among the ones who earned the most.

As a result, when Song Fuyu arrived, he immediately defeated him.

And he even has time to go hunting in the mountains. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.

I didn’t have to carry my things myself, and the journey back to the village didn’t seem so arduous and was fairly easy to walk.

"What are you going to do this afternoon?"

Based on my previous understanding of her, she is not the type of person who can sit still.

"I plan to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms."

The mushrooms picked before are used to stew chicken or rabbit meat, and the taste is very delicious.

She had only picked them twice. It looked like a lot, but after drying there wasn't much.

The space still needs to be cultivated, mainly because she also enjoys the fun of stockpiling.

"Then I'll go with you and help you pick more vegetables. If you need to eat vegetables later, ask Uncle Lin to bring some back from the supply and marketing cooperative, or you can exchange them with the villagers. It's not safe to go to the mountain alone."

They had searched this mountain and the two connected mountains, and had roughly determined the hiding area of ​​the group.

There was no point in talking to a desperado. He couldn't tell her about the mission, but he also didn't want her to be exposed to danger.

After returning home and sitting for a while, Jin Kai saw Yan Ziyuan taking the largest backpack and putting it on his back.

"Where are you going?"

"Accompany her to the mountains to pick mushrooms."

"Wow, my God, are you devils? You're not tired after walking for two hours?"

They are really two monsters! These two people are not worthy of being a couple, which is a disservice to ordinary people like them.

At this moment, he just wanted to lie on the kang and do nothing, but they were actually thinking about picking mushrooms. How inhumane.

Most families in the mushroom village have some in stock. If you want to eat them, you can just buy some from them. But you actually have to pick them yourself. I don’t understand it at all.

"You, a bachelor who doesn't even have a partner in mind, won't understand my feelings."

"Come on, I don't want to talk to you, go pick your mushrooms!"

Jin Kai was annoyed when he saw him now, and just wanted him to leave quickly and disappear from his sight.
