Chapter 22: South Bridge Wants to Go to the Black Market



"How can we understand each other if we don't meet?" Sheng Yanchuan said while walking around Nanqiao with a sly smile.

"If we don't meet, then we won't know each other for the time being. It's not like we will definitely know each other," Nanqiao glared at him and said

"How can that be? I want to see you every day."

"Sister, what are you whispering to brother about?" Taohua, who was walking in front, seemed to hear the two people talking quietly and turned around to ask

"Nothing, sister was telling your brother that Taohua behaved very well this morning and did a lot of homework."

"Yes, yes, my sister also taught me a lot of questions, better than my brother." Taohua said while jumping in front.

"That's great. Does Taohua still need brother to teach her in the future?"

"No, I want Sister Nanqiao to teach me. Sister, you won't find me annoying, will you?" Taohua walked back and took Nanqiao's hand and asked

"Of course not. If you don't know anything, come and ask me."

"Okay, okay." Taohua happily pulled Nanqiao's hand and shook it, which made Sheng Yanchuan jealous...

I wish I could pull Taohua's hand out and hold it myself...

The three of them strolled all the way to the gate of Sheng's yard. When they arrived, Sheng's mother and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Sheng family were already preparing lunch. Shen Nian was sitting in the yard playing with Yaya.

Seeing Nanqiao and the others coming in, Sheng's mother said, "Sit down for a while, the meal will be ready later."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work Aunt Xiumei," Nanqiao said coquettishly, her voice soft and cute.

"Why are you working so hard? Just enjoy your meal. There's nothing special at home. I can give you some tonic."

"Aunt Xiumei, why should I fix my sprained ankle? It will be healed in a few days," Nanqiao said with a smile.

"Well, you have to eat something good. Auntie has made pheasant soup. Eat more at noon." Aunt Xiumei has also spent a lot of money to help her son chase his wife.

"Aunt, you are too polite. I brought two boxes of luncheon meat. Let's have it as a snack at noon." Nanqiao took the two iron boxes from Sheng Yanchuan and put them into Aunt Xiumei's hands.

Luncheon meat and canned meat were rare items in this era. They were usually only available for military supplies, but were rarely seen in the hands of ordinary people.

"Girl, how many times have I told you to bring food with you when you come to eat?"

Nanqiao just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Aunt Xiumei signaled to her son to take care of Nanqiao and went to the kitchen to cook.

Nanqiao sat in the yard and watched everyone busying themselves. She felt unreal sitting idle, as if she was just a passer-by watching other people's lives.

"What are you thinking about?" Sheng Yanchuan asked as he sat down next to Nanqiao.

Nanqiao glanced at Sheng Yanchuan and said, "I wonder if there is another me in this world."

"Maybe there will be, after all, this world is very big," Sheng Yanchuan replied

"I'm going to town this afternoon. I'll bring you anything you need." Sheng Yanchuan asked the little girl sitting next to him.

"Nothing much, I have everything I need to eat and use, but I wanted to go to the town for a walk during my break, but I don't know if the situation will improve now." Nanqiao said with some disappointment. She originally planned to look for a black market, after all, it is a unique feature of this era, it would be a pity if she didn't see it.

Sheng Yanchuan glanced at Nanqiao's ankle and said, "There are still four days until you can rest, which should be enough. But where do you want to go? I'll go with you."

"Well...will you accompany me wherever I go?" Nanqiao asked tentatively.

“That’s natural”

"I want to go to the black market," Nanqiao Dang approached Sheng Yanchuan and whispered

Sheng Yanchuan looked at Nanqiao in surprise when he heard this. Did this girl have to be so provocative right away? "Why are you going there? It's very dangerous!"

“I haven’t been there, but I want to go and see it.”

"Is it that simple?" Sheng Yanchuan didn't believe that she went there just to take a look.

“It’s that simple.”

"Really?" Sheng Yanchuan looked at Nanqiao with doubt in his eyes

"Really? What can I do? My family is very strict and I don't have a chance to see the world." Nanqiao looked away and said without looking at Sheng Yanchuan.

"What's there to learn? Just go to the town. It's not safe there. What if you, a little girl, run into some bad guys?"

"Oh, if you don't want to go, then don't go. I'm just asking out of curiosity. It's not necessary for you to go," Nanqiao interrupted.

As for the black market, she would definitely go there if she had the chance. If something unexpected happened, she still had the trump card of space, so she would not be in danger.

As for Sheng Yanchuan, they had no relationship now, and she couldn't tell him about the existence of the space, so it would be more convenient for her to take him with her.

Moreover, even if she was not satisfying her curiosity, she also wanted to sell some of the supplies she had and collect some jewelry and antiques.

These things are worthless now, but they will be worth a hundred times more in the future. After transmigrating into the book, there is no aunt standing in front of her to protect her and help her manage the family business.

Everything depends on her, so she has to earn a fortune for herself.

Moreover, since she has come here, her family here also needs her to protect her, so she can't just enjoy the comfort of this place.

"What are you two talking about? It seems like you two have been whispering for a long time," Shen Nian came over and asked

"He said he was going to town in the afternoon and asked if we had anything to bring," Nanqiao said, pointing at Sheng Yanchuan next to him.

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Sheng, can you bring me some snacks? Anything is fine," Shen Nian said with sparkling eyes while lying on Nanqiao's legs.

"Okay, I'll bring it back to you this afternoon."

"Okay, okay, then I'll give you the money and ticket tonight."

Sheng Yanchuan nodded and said nothing more, just watching Nanqiao and Shen Nian talking quietly.

"It's time to eat, come quickly," Sheng's mother shouted in the kitchen.
