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

Chapter 192 Buying and Selling
"Big brother, Xiao Qi is really lucky! He's lucky to have met such a wonderful girl like Su Ning."

Yan Dong nodded slightly, quite agreeing. "Isn't that good fortune?"

She couldn't help but turn back and look again at the person who was still standing at the door watching them leave. When he turned back, he still waved to her with a cute smile.

"I just hope such a wonderful girl can become one of our own soon!"

"Xiao Qi is more anxious than you. Just wait, maybe we'll receive good news soon."

"Hahaha!"

The two brothers returned to their cell, and Yan Ziyu, who had been waiting for a long time, exhaled a breath of hot air, and her tense nerves relaxed.

Although I had heard the news from Lao Chu and had some guesses in my heart, I was still worried that something unexpected might happen before I saw him in person.

"dad."

"Dad, guess who came today? You'll never guess!"

Before he could even put his things down, Yan Nan asked him a question with great interest, showing that the boy was genuinely happy.

Raising an eyebrow, Yan Ziyu's eyes were gentle, and her face maintained its usual refined elegance. Since there was nothing wrong, she was quite willing to cooperate with her son's rare childish guessing game.

"For you to be this happy, it must be someone you never expected to see but are extremely excited to meet. Xiao Qi and your uncle couldn't come even if they wanted to..."

Brothers or friends from the compound or military unit?

He shook his head inwardly. It was already rare enough that Wang Xu came; not everyone would be willing to wade into such a mess without hesitation.

Could it be...

"Suning?"

"Dad, how could you even guess this right?!"

"Is it really Ningning? Why is she here? Is she all alone? Did something happen to your grandparents?"

Yan Ziyu was initially delighted, but then shocked, and repeatedly asked her two sons questions.

"Dad, don't worry, Grandpa, Grandma, and Xiaoqi are all fine. Su Ning and her brother came to Jilin Province on important business. They stopped by on their way to visit us on Xiaoqi's behalf."

It turned out to be the case.

Nodding knowingly, Yan Ziyu listened carefully to the news brought by Su Ning, relayed by her eldest son.

Only after getting everything he wanted to know did he have the mind to look through the things she had brought.

……

The flowers bloom at two ends, one on each side.

Leaving the reclamation farm, without their heavy bags and bundles, Su Ning and Zhang Ze felt much lighter than when they arrived.

With nothing in my hands or mind, I walked through the thick snow, listening to the crunching sound, and experienced a kind of fun that I hadn't felt on the way here.

"Ningning, you have a very good impression of the Yan family?"

Why would Brother Zhang ask that?

"I can tell you were very happy to see those two brothers."

I said it was on the way, but I actually made a special detour. If I didn't really care about it, why would I go through all this trouble?

Zhang Ze thought of Yan Bei, whom he had only met a few times but who left a deep impression on him.

Previously, he wouldn't have had any particular thoughts about who he wanted to date, as long as that person's character was acceptable.

But now that Yanbei has been chosen, given the Yan family's situation, how could Zhang Ze not worry? Even if this issue is annoying and irritating, he still has to say something.

“I think the Yan family is quite good, but Ningning, if you really want to date Yan Bei, you need to think it over carefully. Their current situation will definitely affect you.”

Even with Mao Qianjin from the commune above him and Su Qingshan from the team behind him, and being the only barefoot doctor in several teams around, he couldn't avoid the prejudice, criticism, and even investigations that came with it.

Fortunately, Yanbei's situation was special, unlike other members of the Yan family. He was receiving education as a poor peasant, not being sent down for reform. Although the two sound similar, they were actually quite different.

It's also because of the nature of his work that if things are handled properly and someone helps him, he could use this as a breakthrough to be transferred to a research group. Even if he's just an ordinary person on the periphery, it would be a great way to achieve multiple goals at once.

If the two of them really get together, then Su Ning's situation won't be so worrying anymore.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, I'll think it over."

Because she trusted him and considered him one of her own, even though the question made her feel a little embarrassed, Su Ning did not choose to brush it off casually, but responded seriously.

"Just know it in your heart."

The young girl was easily embarrassed. Seeing her face, which was as red as her nose, and knowing that his worries were still unresolved, Zhang Ze smiled and naturally dropped the topic.

"Hey? There seems to be a big market up ahead, shall we go check it out?"

"What great luck! Come on, Brother Zhang, let's check out the market here!"

"Okay." In the surrounding villages, the commune would organize occasional fairs to facilitate the trading of daily necessities for villagers who did not have much money or coupons.

The main reason for the decline of the towns and villages in southern Hunan is that the area is mostly inhabited by ethnic minorities, and holding market days is a traditional culture passed down for generations.

After several discussions among the leadership, it was decided to retain it in due course. However, changing from individual buying and selling to collective buying and selling by the team still required the commune to take the lead and act as guarantor.

Suning once went to a market when he was in the brigade, and the lively scene was truly unforgettable.

I wonder what the differences are between this place and the rest of Hunan, where most products are handmade bamboo crafts and cotton and linen products.
……

Perhaps due to the time constraints, when the two arrived at the market, they found that there weren't many people there, and many stalls were being packed up and taken back.

At first glance, the stalls displayed a variety of wild game, furs, nuts, and dried mushrooms.

No wonder so many people still engage in profiteering behind the scenes, even at the risk of being eaten alive.

Simply by exchanging and selling things that are unique to the North and South, one wouldn't have to worry about making a lot of money.

With just these furs, wouldn't the nuts be scrambled for in the southern black market?

"Brother Zhang, shall we buy some and ship them back?"

"Okay."

He also carries the factory's certificate with him, so he doesn't have to worry about buying or selling.

Purchasing goods in the name of the textile factory's transport team is something these truck drivers often do; it's an unwritten rule.

“Perfect timing, the New Year is just around the corner, I’ll buy some more dried meat for your sister-in-law and the others to take back home.”

"These furs and nuts are also good."

After showing the identification, the person standing guard with a red armband did not say much or even ask any questions.

Zhang Ze started taking her on a shopping spree.

He mainly buys various kinds of wild game, while Suning is obsessed with nuts, such as walnuts with thin shells and large kernels, oily and plump pine nuts, and hazelnuts with hard shells and fragrant and delicious kernels that are so good you can't stop eating them.

They stopped only when the market closed, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.

Zhang Ze made several trips to load all the purchased items onto the mule cart they had found, and they returned to the nearby small county town, laden with their purchases.

After mailing everything back, I made a few phone calls at the post office.

They then went to a state-run restaurant to fill their stomachs, and the two returned to the guesthouse to rest, satisfied.

……

The Fu family in Qinghe Lane, Beijing.

After dinner, Li Hehua, with her pregnant belly, moved around as usual with Fu Ying's help.

After a few sets of exercises, I was sweating, but the stiffness had lessened considerably, and I felt quite relaxed.

"Dad!" "Grandpa!"

Fu Ying looked at her grandfather who had returned and asked with a happy expression, "Was it Sister Ningning who called?"

"Right, right? Where is Sister Ning now?"

She wasn't the only one who couldn't sit still and was anxious; Fu Ting was too. He darted over from under the eaves in a few steps, grabbed his arm impatiently, and shook it vigorously, urging him on, "Grandpa?!"

"You little brat, get out of my way and be as filial as your old man!"

This little rascal is shaking himself to pieces!

He glared at him irritably, and after he seemed to come to his senses, he immediately put on a silly, goofy grin. Fu Chenggong then stopped keeping him in suspense and said, "It was Ning girl on the phone."

"Where could the person be if they're not in Jilin Province right now? They said they're preparing to return tomorrow."

"Dad, is something wrong with Ningning?"

Unlike the two children who were overjoyed and happy when they heard it was Ningning, Li Hehua noticed that there was something slightly off about the look in his eyes.

"Ningning is fine, don't worry too much, just take care of yourself."

Fu Chenggong waved his hand, clearly not wanting to say more. He glanced around at them and instructed, "When that brat comes back, have him come to my study."

After saying that, she limped towards the study, leaving the mother and her two children looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Something's wrong with the master."

"Aren't you talking nonsense!"

Every time I receive a call from Sister Ningning, I'm so happy my beard practically flies off. But this time, after the call, my face fell, which is definitely not right.

"Could something have really happened to Sister Ningning?"

"What exactly happened? No, I have to go and find out!"
