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

Chapter 232 Winter
Although Nannan was gone, Xiaoqiu and Ningning were here. Zhang Fu felt that it would be wonderful if the family could have a truly meaningful reunion for the New Year.

As for his son's work?
Ah, every year during the Lunar New Year, I'd barely stay for two days before getting busy again.

Leaving those two elderly people at home is just a waste of time; it's a rare opportunity to put down work and spend quality time with family.

Good job closing the mountain!
No entry, no exit, hey, you can't escape even if you want to!

Thinking of Zhang Fu's face, smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum, and the way he happily rubbed his hands, it was just like he was about to ask his in-laws for another drink.

"What are you saying? Come inside and eat!"

"Hey, here I come!"

……

A big bowl of tomato and egg noodles is delicious and warms the stomach.

He stroked Xiao Qiu's fluffy head, which looked as content as a kitten, and then stroked the little circle of fur that was tugging at his trouser leg at his feet, seemingly vying for his attention.

Only then did Su Ning get up and help Hu Yingtao clean up the dishes. After they finished their work, Su Ning pulled her back to her room.

“Godmother, it will be even colder when the snow melts. I still have some cotton left over from when I finished fluffing the quilts last time.”

I'd like to ask one of the skillful older women in the village to make another warm coat for both of you, my godfather and godmother.

As he spoke, he pulled out two thin burlap sacks tied with cotton rope from a large cabinet by the wall. The sacks were bulging inside.

One of the bags contained cotton, which she had grown herself in her paradise. The other bag contained fabrics that she hadn't missed whenever she saw something nice while browsing the supply and marketing cooperative department store.

“We have enough clothes, and we don’t need to make any more military overcoats. As for you, you don’t need to ask your godmother in the village to make you two thick new cotton-padded coats. We can take turns wearing them for the New Year.”

"Godmother, I have so many clothes, look at this whole closet, are you going to give me some..."

"Alright, alright, I'll handle it. You still have to go to the clinic, right? Go quickly, leave everything to me!"

Without a word, she was pushed out of the room and a wool scarf was wrapped around her several times. Suning was both amused and exasperated.

She took these things out of her space to make new cotton-padded coats for them, but how did she end up taking them for herself?
Fortunately, there was still plenty of cotton fabric left in Taoyuan besides the ones that had been 'handed over'; she could just secretly smuggle some more out.

He shook his head helplessly and walked out of the yard, but on the way to the clinic, he kept thinking about who he should ask for help.

……

She trudged through the thick snow to the clinic. Wu Meng seemed to have just finished cleaning the yard, with piles of snow half a person high in the corners and along the walls.

The small room that was used to store wooden shelves and pharmaceutical tools has been converted into a bedroom.

After the bed was placed against the wall and a double-door wardrobe was added, it felt quite cramped, but Wu Meng and her daughter felt it was enough and were quite satisfied.

After arriving here, Wu Meng's previously lifeless eyes slowly regained some light.

"Sister Wu Meng, I was in such a rush last night that I didn't have time to ask if those two quilts were enough? Do you need me to bring another one over?"

"Enough, enough... Su Su."

"Yes, that's enough. Ningwa, don't move any more!"

Unlike her home, which was deeply ingrained in her being, Jin Hua, who couldn't see, had to adapt to the new environment and dared not move around freely, so she could only carefully explore.

He quickly stepped forward and, together with Wu Meng, each held one of her outstretched arms.

With a few strands of gray hair hanging down her face, Jinhua smiled and took her hand, "Ningwa, have you eaten yet?"

"We ate before coming over. Auntie, how about you two joining the Mao family next door?"

"Okay, the Mao family is all doing well, very well."

Thinking of Old Mrs. Mao's probing remarks last night and her teasing this morning, Jin Hua, who had been honest for most of her life, looked visibly uneasy.

However, they had already caused her a lot of trouble, and neither Jin Hua nor Wu Meng wanted to cause her any more trouble over such a trivial matter that could be discussed briefly.

"Su, Su...don't worry."

Su Ning noticed something was wrong as soon as he glanced at her expression, but he didn't immediately press her for details.

When the two of them moved in, the furniture and everything else were easy to arrange; the carpenter had the goods in stock. The only problem was getting the cooking done.

With the heavy snow falling, it's not easy to set up a simple shelter and there isn't enough time, so I thought of finding a few nearby families to share a meal with for a few days.

While she was thinking about it, the three of them had already entered the house.

There was only a small stove in the room, which must have just been lit, as some of the damp wood was still emitting a lot of black smoke.

“Sister Wu Meng, I have already spoken to my uncle about your matter. You and your aunt can transfer your household registration here at any time.”

"Once the weather gets warmer, we can choose a plot of land and build a wooden house, then we'll truly have a home in the team." "You'll help out at the clinic most of the time, and we'll tell everyone you're my apprentice. As for your salary, how about I pay you ten yuan a month?"

"That won't do!"

"No...no!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Hua and Wu Meng, mother and daughter, spoke up excitedly at the same time.

"Ningwa, it's only right and voluntary for my daughter to help you. How can I ask you to pay her? That won't do!"

This saved two lives, no, we should also add her own old life, that's a debt of gratitude for three lives.

I'd be so afraid of not being able to pay back my daughter's money even if she helped me here for the rest of my life, how could I possibly take her money?

I heard that the barefoot doctor in the team doesn't get paid, only counted as full work points, but she gets paid for helping out. What kind of situation is this!

“Ningwa, we have money. Tie Niu, oh, that’s Niu’s younger brother, my son, sends us a stipend every month. It’s enough for the two of us to eat and we’ll still have some left over.”

Before, there was no news of her daughter. She was a blind old woman at home, and she was afraid that the money and tickets would cause trouble, so she dared not take them out easily. She just wanted to make herself look miserable, but it wasn't that she really couldn't survive.

As if afraid she wouldn't believe her, Jin Hua hurriedly reached into her inner pocket and pulled out a handkerchief wrapped in a plastic bag.

"Auntie, I believe you, I believe you. Please keep this money safe and don't open it."

Grasping her trembling hand as she prepared to take out her money, Su Ning thought for a moment and decided to try a different approach.

"How about this? I won't give you a salary, I'll just give you food rations instead, like the adult subsidy in the city, thirty catties a month."

"You little rascal..."

“Let’s do it this way. Either ten yuan or thirty jin of grain. We can’t refuse both, otherwise I won’t be able to ask you, Sister Wu Meng, for help.”

How can we let people do things for free? That would be taking advantage of their kindness.

Seeing that her attitude was firm and there was no room for further discussion, Wu Meng and Jin Hua had no choice but to nod in agreement.

“Su Su…no need…so much, ten…ten catties.”

Wu Meng's injury had almost healed thanks to her medicine, but...

She still has scars on her body and face, but even knowing that there are scar removal medications available, she refuses to remove them.

Especially the line on her face, which went straight down from the middle of her left eyebrow to her nose, ruining her originally beautiful face.

I don't know if it's because I'm traumatized and afraid that my face will cause some trouble after it heals, or if it's something else.

She frowned, making the scar look somewhat ferocious. "Otherwise... I won't help either..."

At most, she'll find another way to repay him.

With one person taking a step back, everyone was happy.

Just as the matter was finished being discussed, the courtyard gate was pushed open from the outside.

"Ningning, are you there?"

Is that the old man's voice?
"here I am."

He quickly stood up and walked out of the pharmacy, where he saw Su Qingshan wearing a straw raincoat made of bamboo leaves and covered in snow.

"Grandpa, what brings you here? What happened in this heavy snow?"

“I’m not at home, I’m at the village office. It’s just a few steps away. Someone called and said they were looking for you. Call them back in five minutes.”

Did they say who it was?

"He didn't say, but judging from his voice, he seemed to be a young man."

A young man who is not very old?

Only a handful of people knew her contact information. Was it Tingzi, Xiaoqiao, or her younger brother Xiaotongqian who were looking for her?

After quickly turning back into the pharmacy and saying goodbye to Sister Wu Meng, Su Ning and Su Qingshan went to the village committee office together.

The clinic wasn't far away, less than 200 meters away, and by the time the two arrived at the office, the phone hadn't come through yet.

About a minute later, the phone rang. Su Ning, who was standing nearby, grabbed the receiver and held it to her ear. "Hello?"

"Is this Suning? This is Jiang Xiaojun."

"Yes, it's me, Brother Jiang. What can I do for you?"

"Ningning, we're ready to go. We bought tickets for 4 PM today."
