Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 137 Uncle's Message
"Come here and help."

Many hands make light work; one person carried everything off the rickshaw.

Bai Jing paid the fare and entered the courtyard. She closed the gate and ran straight into the main room.

The snow was falling even more heavily.

I don't know if I'll be able to get back soon.

Upon entering the house, one could hear Bai Yong showing off his chocolates.

Bai Jing looked helpless. "Alright, stop showing off. Hurry up and take out your things." She had everything she brought; how could she let Bai Yong keep showing off?

So he stepped forward and handed over a bag containing two packs of chocolate. “These are all chocolates. One pack for each family. Take them, but don’t eat them all at once, or your mothers will beat you. I won’t be able to stop them then.”

While giving them to them, I didn't forget to give them a word of advice.

Everyone knows their mother's temper; who would dare to misbehave?

“We’ll just eat two.” Little Radiance held up her little hand and gestured with two.

Seeing him like this, you could tell he was provoked by Xiao Yong.

"Okay, two, but you can't eat these at night, they'll rot your teeth. It'll look really ugly if you each have a mouthful of rotten teeth."

Bai Jing said in a threatening tone.

The children were clearly frightened and immediately assured Bai Jing, "We won't eat much, we won't eat tonight."

The older Bai Yumeng looked incredulous. "Heh, who put candy in their mouth at night, woke up with the bed covered in candy, and then got a beating?" She didn't forget to make a fool of herself.

Upon hearing this, Bai Guanghui immediately objected, "Sister Yumeng, you promised me you wouldn't tell anyone. How could you lie to me like this?"

The little guy has his pride too.

"Big sister isn't an outsider." Bai Yumeng rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Bai Jing, "Big sister, he doesn't treat you like one of his own."

This girl is quite the little devil.

"Alright, alright, I also brought you gifts, come and see them."

Bai Jing bought some things for everyone; hair clips for the girls and pencil cases for the boys.

Everyone has one anyway.

She distributed the gifts one by one, and after dividing up the rest of the items, she had the older children from both families put them inside.

Anyway, her third aunt and her third aunt knew it at a glance, so she didn't need to bother.

Just as Bai Jing had expected, the snow fell heavier and heavier.

For a time, even their return home became a problem.

Fortunately, my third uncle returned early and told me to ride my bike back to deliver the message that I wouldn't be going back tonight.

The children were overjoyed.

Second Aunt and Third Aunt were also happy, as they had spent less time with Xiaojing since they came to town.

What Bai Jing didn't expect was that her third uncle would give her such a big shock during dinner.

The black market in the commune has been controlled, so Uncle Zhong and Uncle Wang can no longer operate it. The two plan to try their luck in town after the New Year.

They have their own methods, and frankly, they can succeed anywhere. But the black market is something that can't be done in public. However, if they go too far, I'm afraid the higher-ups will intervene.

Because of the crackdown on gambling, the commune dared not let outsiders handle the matter, so Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhong, who lacked connections in the commune, decided to come to the town.

I came to town mainly because I wanted to follow Bai Jing's path.

That's why I wanted my third uncle to ask Bai Jing for her opinion. "Of course, no problem. Once they arrive, I'll take them to meet her."

She didn't know much about the ins and outs of this, so she thought it better to contact Director Shao directly and have the black market act as an informant for the Public Security Bureau.

"Will that affect you?" Uncle Bai looked at his niece with some concern. "If it will affect you, then we'll have to wait a bit longer." He had heard about what was happening at the commune, but he hadn't expected it to be related to his niece.

After all, he didn't believe Qiming and the others when they told him.

Looking at it now, he knows that his niece is now a soaring phoenix.

"It's nothing, just a matter of laying a cable. Whether it works or not is another matter." Bai Jing waved her hand, never making promises about anything.

"When you talk to Uncle Zhong and the others about this, you should also tell them. We can't let them come with hope and leave with disappointment."

"You're right, don't worry, Uncle has remembered it."

At the dinner table, Auntie San looked at this person and then at that person. She didn't interrupt Xiao Jing and her husband when they were talking, but when she heard this, she started to speak up for her husband.

“Your third uncle knows how to distinguish between inside and outside. It’s mainly because Qiming and the others have helped our family a lot that your third uncle is talking to you. If it makes things difficult for you, don’t worry about it. Your third uncle and I will return the favor.”

Third Aunt spoke sincerely; she had no intention of making things difficult for Bai Jing.

"Third Aunt." Seeing that her third aunt was a little anxious, Bai Jing gently comforted her, "What are you saying? We are all family, why distinguish between you and me? Besides, Uncle Zhong and the others have helped my family a lot. I'm just pulling a string, it won't cause any trouble."

She understood what her third aunt was worried about, but she didn't really have such thoughts.

She was happy to be able to help Uncle Zhong and the others, after all, the black market is very necessary these days.

She also has to rely on the black market for many things, as it's not cost-effective to buy them from the system.

She was happier than anyone else to find a place where she could pass through openly.

With Bai Jing's reassurance, Bai Quanshou and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. Before, Xiao Jing hadn't come back, so they couldn't tell her about this.

Now that Xiaojing has agreed, whether it works out or not, they can at least give Qiming an explanation.

That night, the children were very happy. The second and third aunts chatted with Bai Jing about this and that, and they were so excited.

Overnight, the snow had covered the entire courtyard.

Bai Jing had to go to work today, so she got up early. When she saw the snow on the ground, she frowned slightly.

She didn't have a bicycle, and walking back would be quite cold.

Uncle does have a car, but what will happen to him if she takes it to work?
Just as Bai Jing was in a daze, her uncle and aunt came out of the house.

"Such heavy snow! It looks like next year will be a good year." Having been frightened by the disaster before, the second and third uncles were quite happy to see such heavy snow.

As the old saying goes, a timely snowfall promises a bumper harvest. This year's snowfall is quite heavy, so there will definitely be a good harvest next year.

Although they left the countryside and the land, they could never forget their roots after farming for half their lives.

"That's right, as things stand now, those days from the previous few years are over."

My second and third aunts were also filled with emotion.

They were all terrified of being hungry.

"Alright, alright, go make breakfast, we all have to go to work soon." Uncle couldn't hide his smile, but he didn't forget the important matter.

"Xiaojing, have your third uncle take you to work later. It's okay if he arrives a little late. I'll talk to his master about it." Bai Quanlu said to Xiaojing after telling his wife to cook.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing immediately waved her hand, "No need, I'll walk. It's not safe to ride a bike in this weather, and I can't carry anyone." With such heavy snow, she didn't know how deep the snow was on the road.

It's better to walk than ride a bike, so it's not a big deal if she arrives a little late.
