Although things calmed down, Xu Nannan went to Xu Gensheng’s house to thank him. This time she didn’t give anything good, just verbally thanked him. She still knows the truth of the long flow. If you give more, it will not be good to raise people’s appetite. The human heart is the most difficult thing to master.
Fortunately, Xu Gensheng also had a grudge. Not to mention that Mrs. Xu was Mrs. Xu, he wouldn’t take this matter to Xu Nannan. No matter what they said, this is also a poor child. He can’t help less, and he won’t hate a child.
However, Liu Dahong patted her chest and promised that she should find them if she had any difficulties in the future, and they would not be afraid of the old lady making trouble.
Naturally, Xu Nannan just listened to this sentence. If you really come to Xu Gensheng for everything, I’m afraid that this road will not work in the future.
Understanding all that, she still shyly smiled, “In the future, there will be a lot of trouble for Uncle Gensheng. My dad and their mine leaders asked me to report to the mine every month. My father and my grandma both know about my situation, so I will come to Uncle Gensheng to open a letter of introduction in the future.”
Hearing this, Liu Dahong was excited, “Do you still meet your dad and their mine leaders?”
Xu Nannan blinked, “When I was a child, I grew up in a mine, and everyone knew me. I went back this time, thanks to the help of these leaders.”
“Oh, this is really a blessing in disguise. In the future, you can enter the city and have contact with other leaders. You have a lot of benefits.”
Xu Nannan smiled, “I don’t care about the benefits. It’s just that those leaders often go to big cities. I wonder if there is something to eat for little Hotou’s head in the future, I can help bring it back.”
Liu Dahong smiled, “This is really great, our little Hotou likes to drink milk powder, we have this good thing in the future, but you can bring it to us.” As for spending money, she doesn’t care about it. How many adults in the family can raise such a grandson, so that the grandson can’t even drink a bite of milk powder?
For Liu Dahong, who loves her grandson like her life, she would rather tighten her belt and let her grandson eat and drink well. He will be a cute, white and fat baby.
Xu Gensheng moved his lips vividly, and was flabbergasted to tell his wife not to be so troublesome.
Feeling that she would have to trouble a girl in the future, Xu Gensheng felt faceless, and walked out with a serious face on his back.
Liu Dahong glanced at him and said to Xu Nannan, “Don’t pay attention to him, he just has a temper.”
Xu Nannan smiled, “Uncle Gensheng is very nice, if it weren’t for his help, I wouldn’t be able to go to town to find my parents.”
Seeing that Liu Dahong was in a good mood, she pretended to say inadvertently, “By the way, my aunt, what does the Uncle He who works with me do? I think he seems to be quite literate.”
When she asked about He Qiusheng, Liu Dahong’s smile disappeared, and she said solemnly, “Little Nannan, don’t associate with this person, or you will be involved.”
Xu Nannan said nervously, “Why, auntie? Uncle He used to be a bad guy?”
“I don’t know if he’s a bad person, but he’s definitely not a good person, or else he won’t be sent here.” She glanced at the gate, saw no one coming, and whispered, “I heard, he was sent from the provincial capital and was a bad guy. And his students personally reported it.”
“Student? Then he used to be a teacher.” Xu Nannan said in surprise.
“Who knows, it’s useless to have culture anyway, bad elements can’t be better off so he has been here for so long, and no one is willing to contact him. Don’t have much contact with him too, I will look for opportunities in the future, and I will let your uncle give you a chance to have a better job.”
Xu Nannan nodded, “Auntie, you are so kind.”
This is true. Although Liu Dahong only helped with her benefits, she did use her heart.
Knowing He Qiusheng’s past, Xu Nannan didn’t reject him more, but felt it was a pity. These things will happen in this old age. If he’s not in the past, He Qiusheng would have been senior intellectuals.
It’s a pity in my heart that she can’t fight against the whole era. She, herself is still struggling now.
Xu Nannan thought that after returning home, the old lady would definitely be making trouble again. Unexpectedly, when she went home at night, and the old lady didn’t make trouble, but the matchmaker came to the door again. She heard that the marriage was finished, and blushed with the old lady. In the end, she didn’t know what benefit she had gained, and left happily.
“Don’t regret it in the future.” The old lady glanced at Xu Nannan quizzically.
“Haha,” Xu Nannan smiled.
At dinner, Xu Xiaoman also went to the table. Now she can’t pretend to be sick anymore, Xu Nannan feels that there is no need to pretend if things are up to this point. Anyway, when she goes to the farm in the future, she will definitely bring Xu Xiaoman with her. She happened to be able to teach Xu Xiaoman to read and write in her spare time. When Xiaoman goes to school in the future, she will not be too far from others.
After eating, Xu Nannan didn’t wait a moment, and took Xu Xiaoman back to the room.
After they flicked hot water from the kitchen, the two of them washed and soaked their feet. Xu Nannan poured the foot wash and found that Xu Xiaoman was not asleep, and is holding something in her hand. There are candles in the room, but the light is not very bright, so only the paper is visible. She put the tub on the shelf, took off her shoes and went to bed, “Xiaoman, what are you looking at? I’m not going to sleep yet.”
“Sister, you see, here are the tickets for our trip to the city, as well as the tickets for the return. This is my first time in the city, I have to keep it.” Xu Xiaoman showed the ticket to Xu Nannan.
For Xu Nannan, who used to run around in a car, the ticket is really not a rare thing. Xu Nannan was not interested in this before, but seeing Xu Xiaoman so happy, she became a little interested, and took it over to take a good look. The ticket at this time is still handwritten, which is too simple compared to the tickets of later generations.
She had used this kind of ticket before, but the price was not high. Xu Nannan remembered her old profession.
“Oh, it’s a pity that you can’t put it in the store for sale, but you can recycle it.”
“Sister, what are you talking about?” Xu Xiaoman looked at her and said.
“Nothing.” Xu Nannan immediately replied, feeling that she still can’t miss the previous days, or else she would be even more sad.
As she was about to return the ticket to Xu Xiaoman, she suddenly felt that what was in her hand was missing.
The ticket is gone!
She subconsciously searched on the quilt, but didn’t find it.
“Xiaoman, where’s the ticket?” She looked up at Xu Xiaoman.
Xu Xiaoman wondered, “Didn’t I give it to you?”
Xu Nannan looked at Xu Xiaoman, and then at her empty hand. Did this ticket disappear out of thin air? She quickly opened the quilt and looked around. She doesn’t believe that things can disappear out of thin air. But where can this thing go?
One-third of the candles on the table have burned. Xu Xiaoman feels distressed. Although she wants to find a ticket, she is even more distressed about the candles that can bring her light. “Sister, look for them tomorrow, the candles are almost gone.” After speaking, she blew a few times at the candle with her face puffed up, and soon the candle went out. The room was dark.
The two sisters covered the quilt and laid in bed. Xu Xiaoman was worried that Xu Nannan was still reading about the matter, and persuaded, “Sister, it’s alright if you lose it. You can keep it for me next time that you enter the city.”
I just want to know, where did the ticket go?
For Xu Nannan, when this thing suddenly disappeared, it made her feel too weird. She feels numb all over when she thinks about it.
Forget it, I shouldn’t have thought more about it.
Xu Nannan comforted herself, closed her eyes and entered the Taobao store, ready to check her current income before going to bed. Since knowing that the things in her Taobao store can continue to be sold, she will pay attention to her sales from time to time every day. She hoped she can make more money.
“!”
Only this time when he entered the Taobao store, Xu Nannan almost yelled. It’s not because of making money, but because… the ticket in her previous hand actually appeared in front of her. It’s in the first column of all her products for sale. You can see it at first glance.
Xu Nannan carefully enlarged the picture of the product several times and finally determined that it was the ticket Xu Xiaoman gave her before.
The handwriting, the date, and the style of the ticket are exactly the same!
A bold conjecture appeared in Xu Nannan’s head.
In order to verify it more accurately, Xu Nannan got out of bed secretly, found a piece of torn clothes she had worn before, and said silently in her head, “Put this in the store.”
The clothes in her hands suddenly disappeared. She went to the Taobao shop again, and there was an extra piece of clothing inside.
At this time, Xu Nannan’s mood was no less than when she first discovered that she had taken a Taobao shop through.
For a long time, she thought that her Taobao shop was a non-renewable resource, but she didn’t expect to give her so many surprises. Taobao stores can not only continue to sell the products that are already in the store, but also put real-world things in and continue to sell them.
In other words, she can use this Taobao shop to sell things from the 1960s into the future!
Xu Nannan clenched her fists in excitement. If it weren’t for fear of being heard, she would have wanted to shout a few times.
Sure enough, the mountains and rivers are nowhere to be doubted, and there is another village in the dark.
Excitedly staying up all night without going to bed, Xu Nannan got up and searched for things that could be sold in the store when it was dark the next day. It’s a pity that her room is so rudimentary that she can’t find anything that can be sold as a commodity.
“Sister, why did you get up so early, are you going to work?”
“It’s okay, you can go to bed again.” Xu Nannan shrugged her shoulders.
Xu Xiaoman also got up from the bed and said, “I won’t sleep anymore. You will definitely call me to work later.”
Now the whole family knows that she is well, but she can’t rest in bed as before. Otherwise, if the old lady is going to curse, it is very likely that she will beat Xiaoman.
Xu Nannan said, “What are you doing? You will go to work with me later. This time I went to the street and bought you school equipment. You will go to the mountains so I can teach you to read and write when I am free.”
Xu Xiaoman’s eyes lit up when she heard that there were learning utensils, “Sister, where are they? Where are the learning utensils?”
Xu Nannan certainly can’t take it out at this time, “I hid it on the mountain yesterday, and I will give it to you later when I go to the mountain.”
Xu Xiaoman couldn’t wait to get something from the mountain. But when she thought of the old lady, she was a little scared, “Sister, what about the grandma?”
“It’s okay, she can’t control you, don’t listen to her.” Xu Nannan said nothing.
In order to prevent the old lady from encountering it head-on, Xu Nannan decided to take Xu Xiaoman out early, to see if there were anything that could be sold in the store.
When the Xu family got up, Xu Nannan had already taken Xu Xiaoman up the mountain. Zhang Cuiqin went to call someone, but didn’t get a response, and when she pushed the door, there was no one inside.
Zhang Cuiqin immediately ran to the old lady Xu excitedly, “Mom, Erya and Siya are gone again. Are they going to the city again?” If this dead girl goes to the city again, the old lady will definitely not forgive her.
The old lady put on her clothes and went out, “What are you talking about?”
“Mom, Erya and Siya are gone, they are probably in the city.” Zhang Cuiqin endured excitement.
Liu Qiao washed her face, wiped her face and walked over, “It shouldn’t be possible, they just came back. So how will they go to the city?”
Granny Xu snorted, “Why do you care so much? Go to work. No matter where she goes, she’s not flying with wings.”
Zhang Cuiqin was still thinking about filing a lawsuit and letting the old lady make another trouble. But she didn’t expect the old lady to ignore it. Seeing the old lady coming back to the house again, she curled her lips unwillingly and asked Liu Qiao, “You said Mom didn’t react at all. If Erya really goes to the city, isn’t this ruining her old face?”
Liu Qiao smiled, “Mom won’t let us take care of it, so let’s leave it alone and go to work.” After talking, she smiled and called his man to go out to work.
Seeing Liu Qiao’s behavior, Zhang Cuiqin spit, “What are you going to do? I don’t believe you are not in a hurry.”
Of course Liu Qiao is not in a hurry, she is the person who knows the old lady best. Naturally, she also know the mind of the old lady. Erya’s affairs only calmed down yesterday. If Erya really went to the city today, even if the old lady was holding onto Erya this time, even the eldest brother Xu Jiansheng would have no reason to control Erya.
So no matter if Erya is leaving or not, the old lady doesn’t need to worry. Zhang Cuiqin is a foolish woman who fears that the world will not be chaotic and messed up.
On the mountain, Xu Nannan was mowing hogweed, depressed.
All the way from the village, she didn’t come across anything that could be sold in the store.
Now that she thought about it, the family is poor and furniture and utensils are family property. So if they really disappeared, they will be able to scold the ancestors all over the village. The reason why she was able to buy these things before was because they were no longer useful as antiques. Now she wants to buy them, but she has to exchange them for something better. But she can’t expose her own things. It seems that she still has to look for opportunities to find sources of goods.
Why don’t you buy some stamps next time you go to the city? What are the more valuable stamps in the 1960s?
