Chapter 12 New Powers



"Girl, you're here again, how many are there this time?"

"30 kilograms of rice, 40 kilograms of flour, and 10 kilograms of millet."

"Okay, I'll take them all."

Aunt Wang took it upon herself to do so. Originally, they didn't need so much food, but food was so hard to get now. Every time food coupons were issued, long queues would form in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, as people were afraid that it would not be their turn.

The key point is that she has never eaten such delicious food. When she has such good stuff, she can't help but share some with her parents, parents-in-law, son and daughter.

There is only a little stock left from what she bought last time, and she doesn’t know when the girl will come next time, so of course she has to seize the opportunity.

The two men quickly completed the transaction, and Xu Niannian walked out of the steel plant with the money he earned.

In order to achieve sustainable development, they took this little money and entered the black market.

After a quick look at the black market, I found that the fastest-selling items were staple foods such as flour and rice, followed by meat.

As for other odds and ends, they are selling more slowly.

She quickly walked to a place selling chicks and asked the shopkeeper to pick out a rooster and a hen. Both chickens were very small and looked fluffy and very cute.

I originally wanted to give them a name, but after giving them a name, I might not be willing to eat them, so I decided to skip the process.

She was about to leave the black market with the two chicks in her hand, but unexpectedly, when she passed by a stall, her wrist suddenly felt hot.

Out of curiosity, she walked forward again, wanting to secretly see what the other party was selling.

The haggard middle-aged man suddenly saw a pretty girl approaching him, and hurriedly opened a corner of the package to reveal what was inside.

Xu Niannian carefully poked his head out and saw that it was someone else's heirloom, a jade stone of very good quality.

After all, this thing can't be put on the table now.

She found that the closer she got, the warmer her wrist became, but luckily she didn't get burned.

The middle-aged man spoke in a low voice, with only a hint of pleading in his eyes:

"My baby was just born and my wife is malnourished. We both have nothing good to eat. I wonder if I can exchange this for something delicious."

It was really shameful for him to come out and complain about his misery at his age, but the premature birth of his child had used up all the family savings, and he watched the child in his arms cry like a cat due to hunger.

He felt very disappointed. Today he took the heirloom item to the black market, but no one was interested in it the whole morning. He had almost lost hope.

Unexpectedly, he met someone who was interested in him, so he had to seize the opportunity. The shame of playing the pitiful role made him hang his head even lower.

As long as he can hold on for another 10 days, he can get his wages.

Xu Niannian thought to herself that what she had was food.

There was also space for two kilograms of millet, two kilograms of rice, and three kilograms of flour that were allocated in the morning.

Pretend to take these things out of the backpack:

"Let me trade these things with you."

As he said this, he lifted a corner of the cloth bag and showed it to him.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he thanked her repeatedly and almost knelt down to her.

Xu Niannian stuffed the things into his hands, then took the jade bracelet and gold ring and ran away.

Not noticing the man behind her, he bowed deeply in her direction.

Then he took the food he had exchanged and hurried towards the hospital. He felt like he was walking on air and everything was hopeful.

Xu Niannian threw the things he had exchanged into the space, and then found a place to change into his normal clothes.

Selling food makes money too slowly.

She rolled her eyes. There were no mountains nearby. It was not safe for a young and beautiful girl like her to take a car to the mountains, and she might not find anything useful there.

As I walked, I came to the door of a Chinese medicine shop.

Others traveled through time and space to pick ginseng from the mountains, but she didn’t have any, so she just went to the pharmacy to buy some ginseng slices.

As soon as he entered the store, the waiter looked up and saw a pretty girl. He immediately stood up:

"Girl, what do you need?"

"I want some ginseng slices."

She wanted some ginseng, but she didn't have the money.

The child took out the ginseng slices. Xu Niannian walked closer and saw that the ginseng slices were all dry. She felt that even though she wanted the spiritual spring water to bring her back to life, it was a bit embarrassing for the spiritual spring water.

But she couldn't afford to buy adult ginseng, so she asked in a low voice:

"Do you have mini ginseng? The smallest kind."

The waiter noticed the girl's embarrassment, but did not laugh at her. He took out a small box from the back:

"This one is five years old and costs 10 yuan."

Xu Niannian gritted her teeth and handed over the Great Unity which was still warm.

"Can you give me a ginseng slice?"

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, but he still had professional ethics:

"No, two cents each."

Xu Niannian took out another two dimes from his pocket and handed it over:

"Thanks."

As soon as she left the pharmacy, she threw everything into the backpack, which was actually thrown into the space. If the ginseng was stolen, her two days of hard work would be in vain.

I took the remaining money and saw Aunt Liu having dinner on my way home.

The youngest son stared blankly at the girl in front of him. Who is she looking for?

He was the only single adult male in the family, and he was a little nervous, wondering if the girl was here for a blind date.

Aunt Liu went out to greet her with a smile:

"You happened to be here. I said if you hadn't come I would have gone to look for you. There are a few guys who are really good. I screened them for you and these three are the best."

Then he took out three photos from the common cabinet:

"Take a look at the appearance first, and see if you like it."

Xu Niannian took them and looked at them one by one.

Aunt Liu's youngest son was winking at her. Xu Niannian was much prettier in person than in the photo, and he was immediately attracted to her.

Aunt Liu saw how worthless he was and knew that her son was not worthy of him.

Don't humiliate yourself.

Xu Niannian finally selected two photos whose looks suited her taste, and she also wanted to hear in detail why these conditions were good.

Aunt Liu took out a photo first:

"This is Gu Yuan. His father is the deputy director of a textile factory, and his mother is an elementary school teacher. His family is very well off. I've asked around, and you can get a temporary job there. Then you can prepare for the exams and get a formal job."

Then I looked at the second photo:

"This guy's name is Xie Yang. It's fate that we meet. His third aunt happened to see your photo at my place. He also happened to be back from vacation this week and will stay at home for two days. It seems like they have a good family background."

"He is now a battalion commander in the army, his father is the director of the power grid, and his mother is a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative."

Xu Niannian looked at Xie Yang in the photo, her eyes and brows gentle yet with a hint of sharpness.

She felt that she couldn't find any fault now, and said to Aunt Liu:

"Excuse me Aunt Liu, please make an appointment."
