Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

the next day..

Ma Hongwei and Xia Weiwei first went to the city to find Yin Weimin, Tingquan, and the buyer from Beijing to conduct the transaction.

Incidentally, Ma Hongwei went to the bank to retrieve the 32 100-gram gold bars he had bought.

After returning from the city, the two continued their busy work.

Instead of returning to the village, they went to a detached house near the road on the outskirts of the village.

This courtyard belongs to the relatives of Ma Hongwei's childhood friend. Their whole family has moved to Beijing and may not even come back for the Spring Festival.

Ma Hongwei felt that this place was close to the highway and convenient for unloading goods, so he temporarily rented the courtyard.

He later bought compressed biscuits, which were all stored in this secluded courtyard.

Ma Hongwei initially wondered if it was a bit of a waste.

I never thought I'd actually need it now.

Now that his mother, Zhang Aiying, has returned, he certainly can no longer keep storing those supplies at home, nor can he cross over from his house.

And this house near the village became the best location.

Ma Hongwei said, "Let's leave it like this for now. As the space gets bigger, we'll have to rent a warehouse."

He felt that it wasn't enough to just rent a warehouse.

You also need to buy a house.

In that case, it's safe to travel through your own home.

Otherwise, if she stays at other people's houses all the time, and the owners come back, Xia Weiwei will need to travel back in time, which would be very troublesome.

Ma Hongwei looked at Xia Weiwei and added, "Also, Weiwei, I'm planning to buy an apartment in the city!"

"Buy a house?"

Xia Weiwei shook her head and said, "Didn't you say a house costs hundreds of thousands? We're not even going to live there, so why would we buy one?"

"Who said we're not staying? We can both stay there sometime!"

Ma Hongwei raised an eyebrow and said, "Then it will be our private space, where we can do whatever we want!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Weiwei immediately became wary and said, "You bad person, you're thinking about naughty things again, aren't you?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Ma Hongwei said righteously, "The main reason for buying this house is to give you a safe place to travel through time. Otherwise, it's not good to keep traveling through other people's houses."

"Even if we don't live there, we can arrange for my mom to move in. It would be best if she lived in the same neighborhood as my sister's family. That way, she can take care of my sister's kids and look after the house at the same time."

"That's true!"

Xia Weiwei thought about it and felt that what the other person said made a lot of sense.

Before Ma Hongwei's mother returned, she could travel through time directly from home.

However, after the other person goes home, she will have to travel through time to someone else's house.

Fortunately, she could change her travel location, otherwise she would have been in real trouble.

……

That evening.

The three of them were having dinner.

In their rural area, dinner is usually very simple.

Zhang Aiying cooked corn porridge with an old pumpkin that had grown in her own yard.

I stir-fried a large plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes, and the main dish was fried dough sticks bought from town.

"Auntie isn't a good cook; she can only make these simple home-style meals."

Zhang Aiying asked, "Xia, can you get used to the food here?"

"Yes, Auntie!"

Xia Weiwei nodded.

She experienced life in northern Shaanxi and the Taihang Mountains, and suffered a lot. She is no longer the pampered urban capitalist's daughter who never lifted a finger.

The food she eats now is infinitely better than what she ate in the Soviet areas and the anti-Japanese base areas.

After all, there are no fried dough sticks to eat there.

"real?"

Zhang Aiying said, "If you really can't get used to the food, you can ask Hongwei to take you to a restaurant."

"No need, Auntie, what you made is delicious."

Xia Weiwei quickly said, "Although my family is from Jinling, I have worked in remote mountainous areas and experienced some hardships."

"Oh?"

Zhang Aiying asked curiously, "You went to participate in the 'Three Supports' program? I wonder if you went to teach or provide medical support?"

"Support the doctor!"

Xia Weiwei answered.

She was a medic in the Eighth Route Army, so this could be considered a medical support mission.

"Hello doctor, you save lives and heal the wounded."

Zhang Aiying praised.

People generally have great respect for teachers and doctors.

"Oh, right, Auntie!"

Xia Weiwei suddenly said, "I have a former roommate from my school days who lives in Ancheng. I'm planning to go to Ancheng to visit her for a couple of days tomorrow afternoon."

This was the excuse the two of them had agreed upon today.

Since Xia Weiwei is coming back, using the excuse of returning to her hometown of Jinling wouldn't be a good solution.

"You're going to Ancheng? Hongwei will take you there!"

Zhang Aiying preached.

After spending a short time together, she came to approve of Xia Weiwei.

First of all, the other party is very diligent and attentive to their work.

When they see that I'm cooking or doing housework, my partner will offer to help.

She is nothing like a pampered "young lady" from the city.

Zhang Aiying had also seen what her niece looked like.

I never cook for myself when I'm at work; I either eat out or order takeout.

After returning home, he did not do any housework.

She stays up late at night and doesn't get up early in the morning. Her mother has to cook and bring her food over, and she eats it on the bed at a small table. After eating, she goes back to sleep.

She had previously visited her niece and stayed for a few nights.

The floor wasn't mopped, and the room wasn't tidied up; it looked messy.

Most importantly, the food in the refrigerator has all grown moldy, and they haven't bothered to clean it up.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that their niece was the city person, while Xia Weiwei was a country person.

Zhang Aiying thought to herself, "If this girl can settle down and live a stable life with Hongwei, then Hongwei will definitely be happy for the rest of his life!"

Now, she feels that her son is not good enough for the other woman.

……

Soon, it will be almost time for Xia Weiwei to travel through time again.

Ma Hongwei had already driven the bread truck out of the garage.

Xia Weiwei packed a backpack, which Ma Hongwei had bought for her yesterday when she went to the city.

Ma Hongwei originally wanted to buy a suitcase, but Xia Weiwei said she didn't have much stuff and refused to let him buy one.

"Auntie, I'm leaving!"

Xia Weiwei said to Zhang Aiying, "You must take good care of yourself!"

Zhang Aiying said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm still young and healthy."

As they passed through the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhang Aiying picked up two boxes of Telunsu milk and handed them to Xia Weiwei, saying, "Xia, you're going to your classmate's house, so you'll definitely need to bring a gift. Take these two boxes of milk with you, and you won't need to buy any gifts."

"Auntie, I won't take it, you can leave it there!"

Xia Weiwei refused.

She's going back to the Republic of China era, not actually visiting relatives and friends.

Zhang Aiying forced the item into the other person's hand, saying, "Just take it. Our family runs this business, so our purchase price is definitely cheaper than if you bought it yourself."

Ma Hongwei also tried to persuade them, saying, "Just take it; two boxes of milk don't cost much."

He knew his mother well; when she was kind to someone, she was incredibly kind, but when she didn't get along with someone, she was like an enemy.

Now that her own mother has feelings for Xia Weiwei, she'll definitely treat her even better than her own daughter.

"Well... thank you, Auntie!"

Xia Weiwei had no choice but to agree.

She gave Ma Hongwei a wink, intending to leave quickly, fearing that the other party's mother might give her more things.

Soon, the two arrived at the house outside the village.

Xia Weiwei said, "Hongwei, I won't take those two boxes of milk back. You can take them back later!"

"That won't do!"

Ma Hongwei shook his head and said, "If I take it back, my mom will definitely nag me endlessly, and I don't want to listen to her nagging anymore."

"Since it's been given to you, take it with you and have a drink. You can share it with the leaders."

Xia Weiwei nodded and said, "That's the only way."

Then, she activated the hyperspace teleportation.

"I'm going back now, bye-bye!"

As Xia Weiwei spoke, she stepped into the spacetime ripples.

As for the compressed biscuits, sulfanilamide powder, chocolate, and gold bars that Xia Weiwei needed to bring this time, she had already put them all into her storage space yesterday.
