The scene she had just witnessed was deeply imprinted in Yunling's mind. She had to be careful in her actions and not be arrogant just because she was a time traveler. She had to integrate into this era. With the outside world in such a tense atmosphere, she had to keep a low profile.
Besides, in this era, even if you have money, there's nowhere to spend it. You might as well eat more melons and use up some resources from the system.
"What do you want to eat?" Qin Chuan suddenly asked.
Yunling looked at the wooden board by the door that listed the dishes for the day. She thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat braised pork. What would you like to eat?"
Two dishes should be enough for two people. I heard that at this time, state-run restaurants served very large portions of each dish.
Qin Chuan glanced at it and said, "I'm not picky, you order!"
Yunling: "Can we order another dish of stir-fried pork with chili peppers?"
"Okay, I'll go order. You find a seat," Qin Chuan said.
Yunling nodded.
There were quite a few people eating, and the window seats were all taken, so she randomly chose a seat and sat down.
Qin Chuan put down what he was holding. After a while, the shop assistant stood at the window and called out, "Braised pork and stir-fried pork with chili peppers are ready."
Qin Chuan got up to serve the dishes, and Yun Ling followed, bringing over two bowls of rice.
I must say, the portions are really large. The rice, in particular, comes in a big bowl and is packed very tightly. The braised pork and stir-fried pork with chili peppers are also served on a large plate, piled high, with plenty of meat in them.
Yunling was very satisfied and said to Qin Chuan, "Eat up!"
Qin Chuan picked up a large piece of braised pork, which melted in his mouth, rich but not greasy, with a soft and sticky texture. Paired with rice, it tasted absolutely amazing.
The last time he ate such delicious meat was two years ago when he graduated from high school.
Yunling ate half a bowl of rice and was full. Watching Qin Chuan eat heartily, she ate a little more, taking small bites. She still had a third of the rice left, while the dishes on the table were almost finished.
Qin Chuan looked up and asked, "Are you full?"
Yunling nodded. She had really tried her best; her belly was starting to bulge.
Without saying a word, Qin Chuan took Yun Ling's rice bowl, poured the remaining white rice into his own bowl, and also poured the remaining broth from the braised pork into the bowl. He stirred it, not minding at all, and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Yunling was stunned for a moment, then realized that in those days, grain production was low and very precious, and many people couldn't get enough to eat.
Qin Chuan did the right thing.
However, the next time she eats at a state-run restaurant, she will bring a lunchbox so that she can take the leftovers home if she is not full, in order to avoid wasting food.
Yunling was a little too full, so she rested for a while. Then Qin Chuan took Yunling to the post office, which was a red brick and gray tile building with the words "Post Office" pasted on a pillar next to the entrance.
Yunling searched through the original owner's memories and retrieved the package following the proper procedure. It was enormous, too big to even lift, and contained a thick letter.
I touched it; it was a thick stack of bills, and I could tell there were banknotes and denominations inside.
She was already inhabiting the original owner's body, and the original owner's parents treated her so well, so she should also take on the responsibilities that belonged to the original owner in the future.
Qin Chuan weighed the package; it wasn't too heavy. He hoisted it onto his shoulder, picked up the package from the ground, and said to Yun Ling, "Let's go back!"
Yunling hurriedly said, "Give me the bag you're carrying, I'll carry it myself."
"It's alright, it's not heavy. Let's go to the oxcart first," Qin Chuan said in a low voice.
The oxcart was parked on the edge of the county town, next to the police station, and there were two stone lions at the entrance, so it felt very safe.
Qin Chuan put the package on the oxcart and said to Yun Ling, "I'm going to Qian Mingda's house. You stay here and wait patiently, don't wander off."
Yunling: "Am I the kind of person who doesn't understand things? Don't worry, go ahead!"
After Qin Chuan left, Yun Ling had nothing to do, so she wandered around the area.
"System, is there any gossip to share?"
[Yes, but this time the juicy gossip needs to be revealed by the host.]
"What do you mean?" Yunling asked curiously.
The previous tasks were very simple; you just needed to understand the ins and outs of the matter and ask questions to complete the task.
[The system has some juicy gossip here. The host needs to inform the person involved. Do you accept the task?]
"Did you tell Zhao Wu about Lin Ting's affair?" Yun Ling guessed.
[No, Zhao Wu already knows that Lin Ting and Zhao Wen are together; there's no need for the host to inform him.]
"What?" Yunling was stunned.
[Does the host accept the mission? ]
Yunling nodded: "I accept."
She was still a little curious: when did Zhao Wu find out?
Zhao Wu went home for the holidays yesterday. If I had known, I would have noticed that there was no noise from next door.
She's still looking forward to what happens next.
[Ding! Mission: Tell Qian Mingda about your background.]
There was a long string of text below.
Yunling looked closely, her pupils dilating. How could there be such a hateful person in the world?
It turns out that Qian Mingda is Aunt Qian, also known as Fan Chunjuan, who stole the child. Fan Chunjuan's child was born with weak breaths, and after the doctor's examination, he said that the child needed to be carefully cared for.
Fan Chunjuan knew that the Qian family didn't have the means, so that very night she swapped babies with the woman in the next ward, and the next day she was discharged from the hospital with her newborn.
"Why didn't that woman recognize her own child?" Yunling asked curiously.
The system remained silent.
Yunling continued, "Oh, I see. Who is that pregnant woman?"
