Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

"Dongning, you've had a great harvest of bamboo worms today!" Tongxing helped her catch some and put them in the box in her hand.

"Ha, would you believe me if I said I cut down bamboo because I wanted a new mat?"

"Haha, there are plenty of bamboos that can be used to make mats, but bamboos with bamboo worms are not so common. You could sell two mats just from the bamboo worms in one of these bamboos."

"I...I...I'll sell this bamboo to you. I'll make mats out of all the bamboo I cut down for you. I'll find someone in the safe zone to make them to your measurements," Ding Jiajia quickly said, seizing the opportunity.

"Okay then." Chang Dongning gave her the one he had just picked and lent her the box as well.

After catching the bamboo worms, Ding Jiajia was in a good mood and disposed of the bamboo she had cut down. She cut it to a length that would be easy to store in her space, and then had Chang Dongning store it in her space, adding her contact information.

"Go back and give me the dimensions you need. I'll have the craftsman make a winnowing basket for you if there's any leftover. Also, do you have any empty cups? I'll give you some supernatural water; you can give it to the kids when you get back."

Chang Dongning took out a thermos, and Ding Jiajia filled it up.

In one afternoon, Chang Dongning found bamboo worms from three bamboo plants, eight edible bamboo shoots, and six bamboo fungus.

Yan Xin: "When we go back to collect the energy stones from the pika, you come here."

"Yes, yes, you're really lucky," Tong Xing chimed in.

"Won't it be very late?" Chang Dongning asked with some concern.

"Bring the kids over, we'll have barbecue tonight. You can also have the cafeteria staff fry your bamboo worms for you; just pay a small labor fee. Frying them at home uses too much oil."

"All right."

It was not yet five o'clock when they returned to the safe zone. Tong Xing changed to a smaller electric vehicle and took Chang Dongning home to pick up her child.

"Xuanxuan, Mommy's back."

Xiao Changxuan was playing in the yard when he heard the sound of the lock being opened, so he stood at the door waiting for his mother.

"Mother."

"Okay, wait a minute, Mom will lock the door and take you out."

"Go see the uncle who gives out candy?" Lately, when he goes out with his mother, they always see that uncle first, and then go to buy things.

"No, I'm going to see my mom's colleague."

"Colleague? What's that?"

"It's like working with Mom, um, the uncles and aunties who collect and test samples."

"A very fierce uncle?"

"Yes, that's Uncle Yan. He looks fierce, but he actually likes kids a lot." Chang Dongning locked all the doors and windows of the house, gave Xuanxuan the last two candies, and led him onto the energy vehicle.

The eldest son across the hall stood at his own door, staring intently at Chang Dongning as she took her child out to get into the car, whether he hadn't gone to collect the produce or had returned early.

Chang Dongning pretended not to see it, but his mother pulled him into the yard and slammed the gate shut.

Tong Xing: "Your neighbor is quite interesting."

"Just a family of people who like to entertain themselves," Chang Dongning said casually.

The original owner never liked the eldest son of that family. In fact, after discovering his feelings, she carefully kept her distance. I don't know what that aunt was guarding against. The original owner was so poor that she even wanted to participate in the official matchmaking event, but she never thought of having a relationship with the neighbor across the street.

Official matchmaking events attract wounded veterans and outstanding young people from shantytowns. Even someone like the original owner, who owns a house in the safe zone and has a son, is highly sought after.

"Once you've accumulated enough contribution points, apply for a courtyard in the family area. The neighbors there will be more polite because of our working relationship," Tong Xing comforted him.

"Yes, I'll try my best." For Chang Dongning, it didn't matter where she lived; it was just an annoying neighbor. But for Chang Xuan's safety and future life, she still wanted to move to the family quarters.

"Xuanxuan, this is Uncle Tong."

"Uncle Tong." Chang Xuan tugged at his mother's sleeve and greeted her softly, while looking around the car with curiosity.

"Hello, Xuanxuan." Tong Xing said to the child with a smile, "Uncle will grill some meat for you in a bit."

Chang Xuan looked at his mother.

"Say thank you, Uncle Tong," Chang Dongning taught him.

Throughout the journey, Tong Xing kept talking to Chang Xuan. Tong Xing had a kind face and a gentle voice. In less than ten minutes, the little boy was already able to have a back-and-forth conversation with him.

As soon as Chang Xuan got out of the car at the Fifth Regiment's supply depot, Yan Xin came over and asked, "Little Xuan, do you still remember your uncle?"

Chang Xuan quickly turned around, hugged his mother's leg, and remained silent.

Zhao Yuan saw her from afar and came over with a food storage container in her hand.

"Dongning is here, Xuanxuan. Look what Auntie brought you." Inside the box were several sweet and fragrant pastries.

"Sister Zhao, this is too precious, you should keep it for yourself."

"Oh, don't be so polite. I made this myself, it's nothing special."

"Your cooking is really good, but..."

"No buts, how could I not afford a few pastries? All the children here today have some, and the rest of the children have already received theirs. This is something I specially saved for Xuanxuan."

Chang Dongning took out a small box from her spatial storage and emptied the food container from Zhao Yuan's hand.

"Xuanxuan, thank you, Aunt Zhao."

After he finished speaking, I gave him a piece of pastry to eat.

Chang Dongning first took out the highly radioactive pika and the edible locust leg from his space.

Then I took the bamboo worms out of my basket to test them, picked out the edible ones and took them to the head chef in the cafeteria. I paid a labor fee to have them fried for me.

The cafeteria has already started preparing pika and locust thighs, and the aroma is irresistible.

After leaving the canteen, she went to the outside of the supply warehouse, found an open space, took out a dagger, and prepared to cut open the chest to retrieve the energy stone.

Hmm? It's hard. Chang Dongning used a dagger to cut open his intestines and took out a yellow stone the size of a baby's fist.

"You got the energy stone on your first try! I told you you had good luck!" Yan Xin said, sitting opposite him with blood on his hands and eyes full of admiration.

Chang Dongning tossed the energy stone into the empty basin beside him: "Just a coincidence."

The yellow energy stone doesn't contain a lot of energy, but it's not small. If she puts it in her refrigerator as an energy source, it can run continuously for a year.

I wonder if I'll get any energy stones this time. The winters in the wasteland are unusually cold, and there's a high chance of power outages. All the appliances in my house can be powered by energy stones.

She needed to save some money. Putting everything else aside, the temperature regulator absolutely could not be turned off; she didn't want to have to keep the fire burning day and night in the freezing cold.

In the original owner's memory, the power would go out several times every winter. If there were no energy stones, the three of them would gather in one room and take turns burning firewood and heating the kang (a traditional heated bed) to maintain the temperature in the room.

Chang Dongning's output rate is very stable; he can get one energy stone out of about ten. Although his output rate is not the highest, it is still among the top few.
