Chapter 104 Material Exchange (33)
Lan Qiaoqiao nodded obediently, "Okay, then mom, hurry up, Qiaoqiao is a little hungry."
"I'm hungry."
Lan Jin left breakfast, lunch and snacks for Lan Qiaoqiao. She would eat them on her own when she was hungry, but it was normal to be hungry after such a long day.
Lan Jin suddenly had an idea and brought a small cake to Lan Qiaoqiao. After handing it to her, she said, "This cake isn't very big. You can use it as a cushion. Mom's going out now. I'll come back to you when I'm done."
Ran Qiaoqiao responded happily, turned around and found a place to sit down and eat the cake in his hand.
There were naturally some for Lan Qiaoqiao as well as some for Nana. After Lan Jin opened a can for it, it left the space.
After leaving the space, she was busy again. Finally, she handed a large bag of Isatis root to Ling Jiang at the door and asked her to put it back first. Then the two of them agreed to go upstairs together.
It's not that Lan Jin was particularly generous with the Isatis root. She could have simply not given it or just given a few small packets, and Ling Jiang would have accepted her favor.
There was only one thing: Ling Jiang asked her to exchange the isatis root for him not for himself but for Grandma Ling.
Grandma Ling is a warm-hearted and enthusiastic grandmother. After knowing that she was raising the child alone, she would ask Ling Jiang to come and help her whenever there was any movement at home.
Of course, she herself had offered to help her, but Lan Jin really had no such need, so she had already actively refused several times.
But Lan Jin still accepted Grandma Ling's kindness and enthusiasm. No matter how the future would develop, people were treating her well now. As long as she didn't touch her bottom line, it was nothing for her to give something back.
When people get along with each other, isn't it just like this, with give and take?
Another thing is that she has a lot of Isatis root in her space, so much that she really doesn't want to be reluctant to give up this bag.
You know, there is no purchase limit for this stuff. When she went to buy medicine, she would buy 5-10 packs in almost every store she came across. In addition, she bought medicine for 2 or 3 months, so this stuff was piled up in her space like a mountain.
…
Lao Gao’s family.
In order to distribute the supplies more evenly, the four of them sat together and made a classification of the supplies, putting water and drinks together, candy and chocolate together, snacks in a separate pile, and food to fill the stomach in a separate pile.
Finally, the sorted food was distributed equally among the four of them.
I have to say that the distribution of supplies in this way was really fair. No one took advantage of anyone else. In the end, there were 2 extra candies left, but none of the three wanted them and they were finally stuffed into Lan Jin's bag.
Lan Jin was a little confused, "No, why are you giving this to me? We divided it equally."
The other three shook their heads. Not only did they refuse the two candies, but they also took two more bags of snacks from their own allotment and gave them to her. Ling Jiang said, "While the supplies are precious, the isatis root is also a valuable medicine. We can't just drink your medicine for nothing."
“But this is too much.”
"It's not much. We got the better deal. Your Isatis root is quite concentrated. I've been soaking in rainwater all day and there's no hot water for a bath. I'm really worried about catching a cold. If something really happens, it will affect my performance." After Ling Jiang finished speaking, he threw the remaining things into Lan Jin's big bag. As for the performance she mentioned, there was no need to guess what it meant.
They had so many supplies at home, she really didn't believe that those people in the building wouldn't come and take their house.
Now that the supplies have been distributed, there's no need to stay at Lao Gao's house for long. After a tiring day, it's time to go home and get some rest. Lao Gao said, "Go back and get some sleep before it gets dark. Someone might come and pry open the door in the middle of the night. Be careful. If anything comes, contact us through the intercom and we'll come and help."
"Okay, let's talk about everything after tonight."
After saying that, they left Lao Gao's house.
In the safe passage, Ling Jiang stopped and took out several supplies from his bag and stuffed them into hers, saying, "This is the supply I need to exchange for your bag of Isatis root. It was inconvenient up there just now, so it's safest to give this to you privately."
Material exchange is very common, and Lan Jin would naturally not refuse, but the things she just stuffed in were too much.
But Ling Jiang didn't think so. "Yes, yes, I'm worried that I didn't give enough. Okay, let's go back quickly. If you're tired after returning home, you can take a nap first. I don't know the situation in the building here at the moment. If it was where I lived before, these people would definitely take action tonight.
If anything happens tonight, call me. If you can't handle it, call the two people upstairs down. Since we're allies, these are all part of our responsibilities. Don't be shy."
Lan Jin nodded to show that she understood, but when it really came to night, she didn't need Ling Jiang anymore. She could handle this kind of thing by herself.
…
After returning home, Lan Jin entered the space with the supplies. Lan Qiaoqiao, who had just eaten a small cake, was not very hungry at the moment. Instead, she was extremely tired after a crazy day in the space. Lan Jin boiled water in the RV, and the mother and daughter took a bath and washed up before going to bed.
When they woke up again, it was already 10:30 in the evening.
The sky outside was completely dark, but the heavy rain continued, even heavier than during the day.
Lan Jin stood in front of the screen door for a while and found that the temperature seemed to have dropped a little. She hurried to the balcony and took a look at the thermometer. Sure enough, the outdoor temperature had dropped to 33 degrees. With the raindrops falling on her body, Lan Jin still felt a hint of coolness. She shivered for a while and hurried back to the house.
Lan Qiaoqiao, who was still half asleep, finally came to her senses. She glanced at Lan Jin, then at her belly, and asked, "Mom, I didn't have dinner."
Lan Jin laughed, "You little thing, you want to eat as soon as you open your eyes. Are you awake? If you are, let's start dinner."
Lan Qiaoqiao climbed down from the bed by herself, followed Lan Jin into the living room, moved a small chair and sat down obediently.
In the middle of the night, Lan Jin didn't take any fancy food, but took out a box of lunch that she had bought but not eaten before.
The lunch box is nutritious with a combination of meat and vegetables, and it is still hot when you take it out, which is just the right time to eat it.
After a busy day and a good sleep, the mother and daughter were both very hungry when they smelled the delicious food. But when they were happily eating, Lan Jin suddenly remembered something. She happened to be going out today, but she actually forgot to throw away Ren Xing and Meng Ying on the way.
But to be honest, the four of them have been together today. Even if she wanted to throw them away, she wouldn't be able to find a chance for a while. But she couldn't keep these two in the space forever.
