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

Chapter 44 Qin Dafeng

"Come on, little girl, have some sweet soup!"

"Thank you, Grandma."

Taking the enamel cup with both hands, Su Ning smiled and took a big sip: Mmm, sweet, cloyingly sweet.

The old woman probably wanted to dump all the brown sugar on her at once, which shows how genuinely happy she was.

Although somewhat puzzled, Su Ning did not ask rashly, but instead picked up the bamboo basket she had prepared when she called for people at the gate.

"Grandma, please accept this..."

"grandmother!"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the boy who suddenly rushed in. After thinking for a moment, she put the things back in an inconspicuous corner under the table.

The little boy was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and pants made of several different pieces of fabric, with a small hole worn through at the knee.

The little face, tanned and shiny, was clearly startled when it saw the unfamiliar face in the main room. Then, it grinned and hopped forward without any fear, looking at her with a very curious gaze.

"Call me 'Auntie,' wait, no, you should call me 'Sister'!"

Remembering how she addressed her eldest son as "uncle," Granny Qin immediately changed her address, "Gouwa, quickly greet him."

"elder sister!"

"Ah, sweetie~"

Patting his little head, Su Ning reached into his canvas bag and took out a handful of fruit hard candies and a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from his spatial storage.

"I'll treat you to some candy."

The little guy's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the beautifully packaged fruit hard candies and then the White Rabbit milk candies that he had only heard of but never tasted.

Even though she longed for it, she didn't reach out, but instead turned to look at her grandmother.

"Here you go. Your grandma treated your sister to sweet soup, and your sister is treating you to candy, right?"

Her smiling, double-meaning words made it difficult for Granny Qin to utter her refusal.

Her smile deepened, and the nasolabial folds on her forehead smoothed out. "Gouwa, quickly thank your sister, and share the candy with your brother and sister. Look at me, I'm getting senile. Go to the field and call your uncle to come back quickly!"

"Oh, thank you, sister! I'll go right away!"

……

Gouwa ran swiftly along the paddy field ridge, not worried at all about falling. As soon as he saw the familiar figure, he immediately called out in his high-pitched voice, "Uncle! Uncle!"

"What's wrong, you little rascal!"

"We have a guest at our house, a beautiful lady. Grandma wants you to go home right away!"

A guest? Or is it a girl?
Qin Dafeng put down his sickle and wiped the sweat from his face haphazardly. "Cangzi, ask for leave for me."

"I know, brother!"

With a push of his arms, he leaped over the ridge that was almost half a person high, and Qin Dafeng hurried home with the wind on his feet.

The Qin family members, who were still busy in the fields, were all wondering who had come to their house.

"Doggy, you said she's a pretty older sister?"

"Mmm, it's so beautiful!"

Gouwa blew his nose, wiped it on the weeds in the field, and waved to his older brother and sister as he answered.

When his older siblings came to his side, puzzled, Gouwa carefully took out a handful of candy from his pants pocket.

"Hey, White Rabbit milk candy!"

"Where did it come from?"

"Given by the pretty older sister."

Looking at the candy she had been given, Qin Hehua held it in her hands with great care, and became very curious about the younger brother who called her "beautiful sister" so much, even though they hadn't met yet.

When Qin Dafeng, who had rushed home, saw the pretty young girl sitting and chatting with his mother, he was taken aback.

"Uncle Qin?"

"Who are you, little girl?"

"I'm Luffy, Uncle Luffy..."

Two large, fan-like hands slapped together, and Qin Dafeng, suddenly realizing what was happening, burst into hearty laughter, "Hahahaha, you're the niece Ningning that Lu Dui mentioned, right?"

"Haha~"

Nodding apologetically, Su Ning replied half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Uncle Qin, are you happy to have bothered you?"

"What are you saying? Even if you're from Team Lu, you're still my niece, Qin Dafeng's eldest daughter. What's with all this talk about disturbing her from my uncle's family!"

Qin Dafeng frowned and waved his hand unhappily, "You can't say things like that!"

"Okay, then I'll have to come often from now on!"

"Hahaha, that's right! Come on, you have to come often!"

When Granny Qin saw her eldest son return, she immediately got up and tied her apron back on the table. "Fengzi, you chat with Ningwa for a while. I'll go cook a good meal!"

"Yes, Mother."

"Grandma, no need to trouble yourself. I'm not picky, I'll eat whatever you give me. Just don't..." "Ningwa, you wait, Grandma knows what she's doing!"

The old man rushed out of the house, not giving her a chance to say another word.

The farmhouse didn't have much of a good stuff, so when such a distinguished guest finally came, they naturally did their best to make the most of it.

Qin Dafeng noticed her hurried demeanor, as if she was afraid people would misunderstand or that she had some kind of burden on her mind. He lowered his voice and explained, "Your Grandma Qin is genuinely happy."

It wasn't just targeting her; any of his ZYs who came to his house would receive such enthusiastic treatment.

This is the Qin family's heartfelt gratitude for the life-saving food that was mailed from all over the country during the most difficult years.

Whenever there's an opportunity, I think about giving back double or even more.

"So just relax and eat and drink well, she'll be even happier."

No matter how many times I've heard of this kind of sentiment, I still feel an indescribable sense of admiration and emotion.

He smiled and nodded to indicate that he understood, but Su Ning was thinking about how to leave something behind without anyone noticing.
The bamboo basket contained only a few kinds of fruit; this meal must have consumed a considerable amount of the Qin family's food supplies.

"What brings you here, Ningning? If you need Uncle Qin's help, just let me know."

"Indeed, I have something I'd like to ask Uncle Qin for help with."

"Oh? Tell me, what's the matter?"

Qin Dafeng had initially thought it was something troublesome, but after hearing what she said, his serious expression quickly disappeared.

It's just a matter of finding a few trustworthy, tight-lipped people to transport the goods; it's that simple!
His younger brother and nephew are both quick and efficient workers, not many people, and they keep quiet. With him supervising them, there will definitely be no problem.

"Where is the day after tomorrow?"

"Fengzhu Ridge, the exact location... I'll wait for you at that intersection when the time comes."

"Okay, six o'clock the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, I made an appointment with someone at that time."

After Su Ning finished explaining with a smile, and seeing that he said there was no problem and readily agreed, she changed the subject.

"By the way, Uncle Qin, everyone who goes to move the goods gets twenty yuan, which can be used to exchange for goods. In short, you can't do it without taking it."

If you don't agree... sigh... I'm a complete stranger in this place, where am I supposed to find someone who can help me?

"You little rascal, you were just waiting for me here, weren't you?"

Immediately realizing the veiled meaning in those words, Qin Dafeng, who had been outmaneuvered, shook his head with a smile, clearly annoyed.

Twenty yuan, that's a month's wages for a city worker!

But thinking about how his elderly mother was getting older and how her bones ached terribly on rainy days, he couldn't bear to spend money to go to the hospital for a checkup.

My nephews Jianguo and Hehua are both of marriageable age, so we need to hurry up and renovate and rebuild the house.

It all adds up to a lot of money, but the little they save from toiling in the fields all year round is hardly enough. They'd be lucky if they could even feed their whole family.

He accepts this favor!

"Just as Captain Lu said, what a good kid! Ningning, thank you, Uncle."

"I asked you for help, Uncle. How can you thank me? Of course, I should thank Uncle Qin."

"Alright, alright, let's skip the formalities, hahaha~"

With the deal settled, as the noon bell rang in the village, Granny Qin prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

Besides the fresh, seasonal vegetables and melons grown on their own land, the eggs they saved to exchange for money, they slaughtered the only remaining rooster and even cut a whole piece of the cured meat that they only took out to eat during festivals.

They were eating sweet potato porridge, but they specially substituted rice for her.

With such a large family, how could they not have treated her well? Su Ning, her eyes red, ate until she was so full she could barely walk. Even after leaving, the warmth in her heart lingered for a long time.

"Ow~"

"Dog Boy, stop barking nonsense!"

"Grandma, Uncle, Father, Mother, come quick!"

Having just dropped someone off and arrived home, before he could even catch his breath, Qin Dafeng heard Gouwa barking incessantly inside and followed his mother into the main room.

Gouwa was squatting on the ground by the table, with peaches, black grapes, a tin of malted milk powder, and two loosely laced cloth bags in front of him in a bamboo basket.

One bag was filled with thin, white egg noodles, and the other contained red and white striped pork belly that looked so appetizing.

"When was Ningwazi brought in?"

Granny Qin looked at the things on the ground and quickly grabbed her eldest son's hand, "Where is he? Has Ningwa gone far away?"

"I asked Dazhu to take her to town in the team's oxcart, they've probably all left by now."

"Tell me, how come this kid is just like your ZYs, sneaking around hiding things? How much money must it cost for someone this old!"

Qin Dafeng was both amused and exasperated by his mother's words. "Mom, we'll treat Ningning properly next time she comes."

"Alright, when you go to the ancient market after the autumn harvest, bring some new grains, vegetables, and other good things from home to Ningwa!"

"Okay, I'll definitely go!"
