Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 13 Work, Arrangements

It was already five or six in the afternoon when I came out of the hospital, and there were noticeably more pedestrians on the main road.

There was a cadre with short, ear-length hair, wearing a Lenin suit, who looked anxious and hurried.
Students with braided hair and wearing striped, plaid, or floral dresses were chatting and laughing.

Groups of three or five workers in dark blue overalls were heading to a state-run restaurant for a treat…

Walking down the street, surrounded by all sorts of people, Su Ning felt a rare sense of ease, and her usually tense nerves were relieved for some reason.

"Ice popsicles for sale! Red bean, mung bean, and milk flavored ice cream!"

"Ling ring ring~"

The young man riding the old-fashioned bicycle had a foam box strapped tightly to the back seat.

Mixed in with a group of laughing and playing children, Suning bought a mung bean ice cream and ate it with relish as he walked.

"Little comrade!"

She carried a basket on her back and covered most of her face with a scarf. She wore a gray top and dark green side-belted pants, and her exposed eyes kept looking around nervously.

Su Ning, who understood instantly, followed her to the entrance of a deserted alley.

"Would you like some eggs or roe deer meat, young comrade?"

"How to change?"

"Eggs are one cent each, roe deer meat is one dollar and twenty cents a pound, no coupons required."

The two quickly completed the transaction without exchanging any unnecessary words, and then strode away in the opposite direction.

When she returned to the main street, she had a yellow feed bag in her hand.

Just when you're about to fall asleep, this gives you an even better reason to bring the elderly some nice things.

With a delighted expression, he quickened his pace, thinking about what else he could add from his spatial storage when he was almost there.

……

No. 68 Qinghe Lane.

"Phew~ We're finally here!"

Although she only carried it a short distance, she kept adding more and more until the entire feed bag was stuffed full, and you can imagine how heavy it was.

Immediately putting down the bag in her hand, Suning knocked on the door with erratic breathing.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Come, come, who is it?"

"It's me, Grandpa Fu!"

Upon opening the door, Fu Chenggong saw a pretty young woman standing there, smiling mischievously. As always, he couldn't maintain his serious image in front of his children and grandchildren, and his old face was full of wrinkles from laughing so hard.

"Hurry up and come inside. I was wondering why she hadn't arrived yet. Did you stand this old man up again, you brat?"

"How could I stand you up? You can't just accuse me like that!"

As he stepped aside to let her in, Fu Chenggong noticed that she was carrying a bag with both hands red from carrying it. "What are you doing this time? Give it to me!"

"No need, Grandpa Fu, this thing is too heavy, I can manage."

Not daring to let him actually mention it, Su Ning used all her strength to carry the things and stride into the yard.

The two pomegranate trees in the yard are in full bloom with bright red flowers.

On the stone table under the tree were enamel mugs with the words "Labor is the most glorious" printed on them, and a palm-leaf fan. It seemed that the old man had just been sitting here drinking tea and enjoying the cool air.

The scallions and chives planted in the two rows of fields next to the wall are growing well, and their lush green color is very pleasing to the eye.

"Just leave it here, don't mind the weight, put it down quickly."

"Hey~"

Fu Chenggong frowned and tapped her head lightly with his withered, thin hand. "Have you forgotten what I told you?"

This girl is truly surpassing her teacher, taking Su Ting's old-fashioned formalities to an even higher level. To put it bluntly, he's never considered them outsiders; Su Ting is practically his half-brother.

What's wrong with coming to your own home empty-handed? Why do you have to bring up etiquette and make sure that proper girls follow suit?

The old are like children, aren't they?

Seeing his indignant expression, Su Ning smiled, revealing her dimples, and skillfully coaxed him.

"Oh, of course I remember, but I just can't help wanting my grandpa to try anything good!"

"Hahaha, very well, very well, you little brat, you're full of twisted logic!"

Sure enough, one sentence made Fu Chenggong forget his anger. He then squatted down and said, "Come on, let me see what good stuff this is that made my girl go to so much trouble to bring it over."

"Oh, this is roe deer meat? It's been a long time since I've had any wild game."

Besides half a roe deer, the feed bag contained about twenty or thirty free-range eggs, a chicken, and a duck.

But these chickens and ducks... they look like they were just slaughtered not long ago, the blood is still fresh.

"Girl, you went to the black market?"

"No, no, I just happened to meet him on my way here."

"It better be this way!"

Speculators are common everywhere, and Fu Chenggong knew she wasn't sneaking off to the black market alone, so he let her off lightly.

“Perfect timing. When your Aunt Hehua comes over later, we can have her make you a medicinal meal with this chicken to nourish you.”

"I haven't had this for a long time, and I'm really craving Aunt Lotus's cooking."

With a kind smile and squinting eyes, Fu Chenggong got up and led the man to the study. "That's easy. If you want to eat you, just come to my house more often."

Then he realized that the girl wouldn't be able to stay in the capital for more than a few days. Once she went to Hunan, it would take her two or three days to see her by train.

That old man, how many more trips can he make? How many more meetings will we see him?

Upon entering the house, Su Ning noticed the old man's sudden sadness and dejection. As if remembering something, she instantly understood the reason.

But she couldn't say what the future held, so she could only sigh silently in her heart. Could she possibly tell him: "We, grandfather and grandson, will meet again in southern Hunan and spend many years together?"

"I'm really getting old."

People also become sentimental, disliking separation in life and fearing separation in death.

He made a self-deprecating remark, shook his head, and Fu Chenggong opened the drawer in front of his desk, handing her three envelopes.

The two were deflated, as if they contained a few sheets of paper, while the remaining one was bulging, and it was unclear what was stuffed inside.

"The job arrangements have been finalized. It was also a coincidence that Old Zhang's son was transferred to a job in southern Hunan, and he got these two job positions through him."

"See where you want to go. Save that last spot; it'll be very useful there."

Fearing she might not understand these things, Fu Chenggong patiently explained them to her in detail, how to get along with leaders, and how to get along and work with colleagues.

He was also afraid that she would be wronged or bullied when he couldn't see her, so he had to silently endure it...

Just thinking about it made his heart ache. Fu Chenggong's humble and magnanimous words immediately changed, "Of course, not causing trouble doesn't mean we're afraid of trouble. If someone deliberately picks on you and bullies you, well!"

He slammed the second envelope down hard, the loud thud sounding like he was actually hammering the unfounded person who had bullied her. Fu Chenggong's face was filled with murderous intent.

"Those old buddies looking for Grandpa, if one doesn't work, then two. If two still don't work, then they can just wash up and lie down on the floor! Call Grandpa Fu, I'm coming over there!"

"Ok!"

With a thick nasal tone, Su Ning forced a smile and blinked hard to wipe the mist clinging to her eyelashes. "Okay, with Grandpa Fu here, I'm not afraid of anyone."

"That's right!"

I've been busy with personal matters these past few days, but I'll resume regular updates tomorrow. Thank you, my lovely readers, and please vote for me!
