A jinx, me? But I bring good fortune to my whole family!

Nuannuan took out another handful of corn kernels and placed them at the entrance of the mouse hole. "Thank you, little mouse! I'll keep these for myself! Save some good ones for me next time, and I'll come back to you again!"

As Nuannuan spoke, she waved to the mouse, whose eyes were glued to the food.

Let's go, let's go, I want to eat!

Su Xiulan quickly found some things: two broken stools, a broken table, and a stack of newspapers.

There's also a small cabinet; one of the doors fell off, but it can be repaired and still be used.

There's nothing in the house right now; we need to buy so many things.

Several people carried the items outside and then said to the old man, "We'd like to look around outside some more!"

The old man waved his hand, "Go ahead and look! Just don't make a mess of it!"

The group started searching again. Da'an found a lot of electronic parts, but of course, they were all broken.

We've already chosen the most secure option; anyway, the stuff here isn't worth much.

Xiao An and Su Xiulan searched for usable items at home, while Nuan Nuan searched everywhere for treasures.

The little girl has sharp eyes, plus she has Little Green as a cheat device.

However, this is just a small town, and there aren't many good things to begin with at the abandoned sites.

In no time, the four of them had searched almost the entire place and found quite a few things!

Xiao An found a rope, tied it together, and used it to bind all the things together.

"How are you going to carry all this stuff?"

The old man frowned; the three of them simply couldn't carry it all.

As for Nuannuan, she's only four or five years old, and in the old man's eyes, she's not even considered a person.

Su Xiulan laughed, "My son is quite strong! Sir, how much are these?"

"Just one dollar will do!"

Su Xiulan quickly handed it over, knowing that the old man was taking care of them.

Xiao An had already tied it up, bent down to carry it on his back, and turned to walk out.

The old man was so shocked he was speechless!

Only after the group had walked far away did the old man mutter to himself, "My goodness! That kid is as skinny as a monkey, how come he's so strong!"

"I don't think it happened last time either..."

I reckon I must have misremembered.

After they went outside, the group specifically looked for deserted streets. Three of them stood guard while Nuannuan packed up all the items.

The money and tickets are kept separate, so they can be taken out whenever needed.

Even after everything was settled, Su Xiulan's heart was still pounding.

Wow! I really got a great deal today. I must buy the old man a pack of cigarettes next time, otherwise he won't feel right about it.

"It's still early, let's go check out the black market!" Su Xiulan said excitedly, she had made quite a haul today.

These days, the bold get rich, and the timid starve!

Since we've come all this way, we definitely have to check out the black market. Nuannuan said she didn't want to listen to that radio anymore, so she thought she might as well see if she could find a buyer for it.

And a tape recorder!

Anyway, they have Nuannuan as their little cheat device. Whether buying or selling, they can hide the items. Even if they encounter patrols, they are not afraid and can just say that they accidentally passed by.

After Nuannuan arrived, the family's savings skyrocketed.

I bought some fabric last time, so I'll take some time to make new clothes for the kids.

Next spring, when the weather warms up, we'll have to build a few more large brick houses.

Before they even reached the black market, Nuannuan tugged at Su Xiulan's sleeve. "Mommy, shall we buy some seeds?"

"Seeds?" Su Xiulan was taken aback. "It's not planting season yet, there aren't many to buy, and besides, we don't farm!"

Nuannuan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Little Green said he can farm!"

Su Xiulan...

A ginseng spirit growing crops? The image was too beautiful for her to bear.

Inside the space, the ginseng spirit, Little Green Qi, was jumping up and down.

"Outrageous! I am the mighty Ginseng King, a thousand-year-old ginseng, not some old hag toiling woman for you! You little brat, a reincarnation of a ruthless exploiter!"

Nuan Nuan ignored its protests. She knew that as long as she watered Xiao Lü with the spiritual spring water, it would do anything.

She tugged at Su Xiulan's hand and began to plead, "Mommy, please buy them! Just a little bit of radish seeds and cabbage seeds, okay?"

Su Xiulan couldn't stand her daughter's behavior, so she softened and agreed.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it!"

She led the children to the seed counter of the supply and marketing cooperative, where they spent a few cents to buy a small packet of radish seeds and a small packet of cabbage seeds.

Nuannuan took the seeds, stuffed them into her little pocket, and on a whim, tossed them into her spatial dimension.

Inside the space, Xiao Lü looked at the two packets of seeds that had fallen from the sky, her beard trembling with anger, yet she was helpless.

After buying the seeds, the family headed back towards the black market.

The black market was located in a secluded alley in the west of the city. The further you went in, the fewer people there were and the dimmer it became.

Su Xiulan held Nuannuan in her arms, with Da'an and Xiao'an flanking her on either side, and walked forward cautiously.

Just as they were about to reach the alley entrance, Da'an, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

He tilted his ear, listening for any sound.

"Don't move."

Da'an's voice was low and tense, "Someone is following us."

Su Xiulan's heart jumped, and she instinctively hugged Nuannuan tightly.

Da'an and Xiao'an also sensed something was wrong and immediately shielded the mother and daughter in the middle.

"Who is it, Da'an?" Su Xiulan's voice trembled, and her heart was pounding.

Da'an didn't speak, turned his head and looked around for a while, "Maybe I'm just imagining things, there's no one here now!"

Su Xiulan breathed a sigh of relief; perhaps they were from the black market.

After all, they hadn't been here much before, so they were relatively new faces.

This place is already a mixed bag, and the mother and her children stood out a bit.

"Mommy, don't be afraid!"

Nuannuan remained calm, and Xiao An added, "Mom, what are you afraid of? I'm here!"

Thinking of her son's terrifying strength, Su Xiulan finally felt relieved.

However, what Su Xiulan didn't know was that just after the group left, the old man guarding the gate suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Hey, I was wondering why something felt off! Weren't those the guys who took the fire pokers last time?"

The old man had a vivid memory of a woman who came to cause trouble.

Of course, it's also because the fire stick is so distinctive.

He forgot about it!

Remembering that man from last time, who came back and searched for three days with two of his men, almost turning the entire junkyard upside down, but still couldn't find him, I finally asked him to help me inquire!

The old man had been thinking about this for a long time, and today he finally saw some progress.

That person said he would give him 10 yuan if he could help find a fire poker.

The old man immediately closed and locked the door, then ran out to chase after the person.

Ten yuan is not a small amount.
