Chapter 12: A Dark and Windy Night


0

Watching Wu Qiulan's back disappear, Qian Xiaolan curled her lips in sarcasm.

The educated youth sites have been really chaotic in recent years.

A group of educated young people who wanted to pursue freedom of marriage and boldly pursue love said they were going to the countryside to build the motherland, but in fact they did not do much serious work. They spent their days either feeling sad about the passing of time or performing one drama after another.

What you love me, I love her, she loves him, he loves her.

Tsk tsk tsk, how could such a mess happen?

Even operas don’t dare to perform it this way.

Wu Qiulan thought she had hidden it well, but she didn't know that the original owner had already seen her being infatuated with Gu Yanqing.

Qian Xiaolan sneered. He was playing tricks on her. It was like an old man hanging himself - he was too old to live!

Alas, what a pity. No matter how hard she tries, she still can’t remember Gu Yanqing’s face.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember, you’ll know when we meet again.

If he was really him, she would live a good life with him.

If he wasn't him...

Anyway, she couldn't bear to die now, so she ended her relationship with her fiancé, and then worked hard to make money and searched every corner of the world.

This is what she owes Gu Yanqing.

After returning home, she went for a walk in the mountains first, but found nothing in the traps today.

She was not disappointed even though she didn't get any harvest. She picked off a bunch of bamboo shoots and went down the mountain.

There was also a pheasant picked up in the morning in the space. Although it died when it was thrown into the space, time was still in the warehouse, and the pheasant was still warm.

Qian Xiaolan thought of the people she met in the mule shed yesterday, all of whom looked pale and thin, so she wanted to send them some delicious food.

But one pheasant was too few, so she went to the trading room, turned on the big screen, clicked on the lonely name, and contacted Wenxuan.

Wenxuan was very excited when he learned that she had pure wild pheasants, and asked her what she needed.

This pheasant weighed at least three kilograms. According to the prices of the next few decades, Qian Xiaolan ordered five plates of eggs, five kilograms of lard, two kilograms of pork belly, and two kilograms of brown sugar.

Wenxuan agreed, and in the blink of an eye his figure disappeared into space.

Not long after, he came back panting with something.

After the transaction, Wenxuan took another look at Qian Xiaolan's clothes and asked tentatively:

"Miss Qian, what era is it now? You need tickets to buy things, right?"

Seeing Qian Xiaolan nod, he was delighted and asked again:

"Do you have any extra coupons? Food coupons, cloth coupons, bicycle coupons, or stamps, like the "The Mountains and Rivers Are All Red" stamps and the "Monkey Stamps"? And..."

Under Qian Xiaolan's calm gaze, Wenxuan shut up awkwardly.

Qian Xiaolan chuckled, took out a handful of tickets from her pocket and handed them to him.

"These are all the tickets I have. I'll give them all to you. Whatever tickets you take, just return them to me in triple the amount."

All these tickets were obtained from Sun Honghua, including two two-foot cloth tickets, two taels of oil tickets, one catty of cotton tickets, five catties of grain tickets and one catty of sugar tickets.

Wenxuan took the ticket and looked at the date 1976 on it, feeling a little disappointed.

These tickets reflect the social outlook of an era and some have collection value, but they are not worth much.

But he took them all anyway, if for no other reason than to help the girl in front of him who looked malnourished.

Qian Xiaolan told him to prepare everything and put it on the shelves of the trading mall, then left the space to prepare dinner.

I cooked half a pot of rice, stir-fried a large pot of bamboo shoots with pork belly, and made some loofah and egg soup. That was it.

Qian Xiaolan had a hearty meal and put the leftovers into space for tomorrow’s meal.

She didn't deliver any food to the mule shed today. In her opinion, no matter how good the relationship was, she couldn't deliver food to someone every day.

Otherwise, if she stops sending gifts one day, others will easily feel disappointed. If they meet a heartless person, they will blame you instead.

It's just not worth it.

After finishing her meal, Qian Xiaolan took out two kilograms of brown sugar from the space, crushed it, wrapped half a kilogram in oil paper and put it in a rattan basket, then took out twelve eggs and put them in.

When it was completely dark, she carried the wicker basket to the mule shed.

Rong Qian and the others had already finished their meal and were now sitting at the door to enjoy the cool air.

Seeing Qian Xiaolan coming again, Rong Qian scolded her:

"Xiaolan, why are you here again? We are fine here, don't come here all day, it will be bad for you if someone sees you."

Qian Xiaolan smiled and said, "It's okay, the Gu family is only about a hundred meters away from us.

Besides, even if their family saw it, they wouldn’t say anything.”

That's true, but everyone still told her to come over less often if she doesn't have to, as it would have a bad impact on her if someone saw her.

Qian Xiaolan nodded in agreement and handed the brown sugar and eggs to Xu Wanting:

"Grandma Xu, please keep these things. I'll make each of you an egg with brown sugar every morning to nourish your bodies."

Xu Wanting refused to accept it. The two pushed and pushed each other for a while. Finally, Qian Xiaolan looked at Rong Qian helplessly:

"Aunt Rong, if you don't persuade Grandma Xu to accept it, I will never come here again."

Rong Qian saw her serious expression and panicked, so she quickly said, "Aunt Xu, please accept it. When we have the chance in the future, we will repay Xiaolan's kindness."

Mr. Qian and Mr. Rong also persuaded her, and Xu Wanting finally accepted the things.

After chatting with everyone for a few words, Qian Xiaolan glanced at Qian Rongsheng, who had been silent all day, and said goodbye.

Qian Rongsheng stood up silently and saw her out, and followed her from a distance, watching her arrive at the door of her home.

Qian Xiaolan had already noticed that something was wrong with Qian Rongsheng tonight, but she was not the kind of person who meddles in other people's business, so she wouldn't ask any questions unless they said anything.

She even stood at the door and waited for a while. Qian Rongsheng didn't say anything, so she pushed the door open and went in.

Before falling asleep at night, her figure flashed and re-entered the space.

The first was to take out the things that Wenxuan had changed for her.

Second, there is a new message notification, this time a new customer has arrived.

Compared to Wenxuan's long and rambling nonsense, the other party's language was concise, with only a dozen words in one line:

——Can I exchange the Type 56 submachine gun for some anti-inflammatory drugs, wound medicines, antipyretics, cold medicines and some dry food?

Wow!

This is a bit of a big deal!

But she likes it.

Gun control was not strict in this era, and many people still had guns, so Qian Xiaolan was not afraid of what would happen to her after she switched.

Without saying anything, she started a conversation and asked the person:

"How much medicine and dry food do you need?"

The other party seemed to have been waiting for it. When he saw the message, he immediately replied: "One gun for five days of supply for ten people."

Qian Xiaolan agreed and asked him to wait. She then left a message for Wenxuan, asking him to prepare some medicines for injuries, anti-inflammatory drugs, antipyretics, and various dry foods for travel, and then left the space.

Now that she had nothing to exchange, she brought her previous plan forward.

It's a dark and windy night, perfect for doing bad things, hehehe.

Qian Xiaolan changed into Qian Changfu's old clothes, put on a hat, and went around the back of the village to Qian Changcai's house.
