1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 58 Enriching Space
Liu Chuxue caught up on her sleep in the space before leaving.

Seeing that it was still early, I didn't rush to the hospital. Instead, I asked around to find out where I could buy a wooden bucket.

Following directions, she found Carpenter Xue's house in an alley about a mile and a half from the hospital: "Young lady, who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, ma'am, is this the Xue carpenter's house?"

The old woman looked Chu Xue up and down: "Yes, what do you need?"

Liu Chuxue smiled and said, "I'd like to change to a different wooden tub. I wonder if there are any ready-made ones?"

When the old lady heard that there was business coming in, she became much more enthusiastic: "Come in, I have a few good ones at home, I'll have someone take you to see them in a bit."

As he walked into the courtyard, he called out into the room, "Old man, we have a guest."

The door to one of the main rooms creaked open and someone said, "You're here."

The old man who rushed out after the first snow nodded.

The old woman standing in the middle of the courtyard said, "This little girl wants a bucket of water. Take her over to get one."

Carpenter Xue nodded to Chu Xue: "Come with me."

On the floor of the side room were some finished wooden basins, buckets, and small stools—small items like these: "Girl, everything is here. Take your pick."

Realizing that the items in his spatial storage weren't suitable for use, he picked out two wooden basins, a small stool, and two wooden buckets. Seeing a reclining chair further inside, he asked, "Uncle Xue, how much is that reclining chair?"

When Xue the carpenter heard her ask this, his eyes lit up: "Miss, I won't beat around the bush with you. That recliner was originally ordered by someone else, but something happened to that person and they couldn't come to pick it up. If you like it, I'll give you a discount."

Liu Chuxue still asked about the price: "Tell me the price, and I'll see if it's acceptable to me."

Carpenter Xue glanced at her: "If you really want it, give me the cost price of eleven yuan, no less." She hadn't actually asked for much of the recliner, and thinking that she could make up for her losses by selling fish later, she gritted her teeth and said: "Fine, I'll take the recliner. How much is it in total?"

Carpenter Xue smiled broadly: "I'll give you two yuan and sixty cents for the wooden basin, and four yuan and eighty cents for the bucket. You can give me eighty cents for the small stool; it's just a small favor."

Chu Xue counted the money and handed it over: "Uncle Xue, could you please take this to the entrance of the alley next door? Someone will come and help me take it away later."

She had already chosen the location when she arrived. It was a dead end with only three households inside. As long as no one came out or moved around, no one would notice.

Carpenter Xue had no objection. After counting the money, he said, "Alright, I'll have a younger member of my family deliver it to you right away."

After shouting towards the main house, several teenagers came out: "You guys help this girl take her things to the entrance of the alley next door."

Perhaps because they were used to this kind of work, none of them complained.

Once the goods were delivered, the group left together.

After waiting a while, Liu Chuxue used her mental power to confirm that it was safe and then put everything into her spatial storage.

He also used his mind to soak one of the buckets in the fresh water in the space so that it wouldn't be so brand new when he took it out to use it later.

When I passed by the state-run restaurant, I bought six large meat buns. Now I've used up almost half of the meat coupons I got yesterday.

She wanted to make soy milk or wontons, but she didn't have a lunchbox, so she had to give up.

Looking at the ticket in his hand, he thought that if his father didn't have any special circumstances, he would have to go to the moat again in the afternoon. At least if something happened in the future, he could say that he exchanged the ticket for fish over there, which would be good for covering up his future actions.

Dear friends, I missed Chapter 55, but I just realized it today and added it. If you're interested, you can take a look.
