Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

Zhou Nuannuan quickly pushed Zhou Yanchen out of the house, smiling broadly. She even patted her bulging pockets and raised an eyebrow at Zhou Yanchen.

Zhou Yanxing quickly ran over to fawn over him, "Third Brother, let me push you."

Lu Yan was amused by the two of them and took Lu Yaguang's hand as they walked out.

After the group came out, they ran into Liu Jiabao, who was leaning against the wall next door, smoking a cigarette.

Liu Jiabao spotted Lu Yan walking behind him at a glance. He paused, his cigarette dangling from his lips, and slowly straightened up. He stared intently at Lu Yan's figure, licked his lips, and a frivolous smile appeared on his face.

That woman has a huge ass; no wonder that cripple likes her.

Sensing the gazes from the side, Zhou Yanchen and Lu Yan simultaneously looked towards Liu Jiabao.

Faced with Zhou Yanchen's menacing gaze, Liu Jiabao was so frightened that he quickly turned his back and pretended not to have seen anything.

Lu Yan glanced at Liu Jiabao's back, snorted disdainfully, and said to Zhou Yan in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Hearing the jeep drive away, Liu Jiabao slowly turned around, a wicked glint in his eyes.

His mother was right, he really is a hottie.

He had never seen a woman with such fair skin in his entire life. If he didn't take advantage of such a sexy woman, wouldn't he be missing out?

Ten minutes later, Lu Yan and her group arrived at the temporary stall set up by the state-run store.

The stalls were arranged in two rows, and the place was packed with people, making it very lively.

Zhou Yanxing pushed Zhou Yanchen, while Zhou Nuannuan walked in front, keeping the people in front of her away so as not to bump into her third brother. Lu Yan held Lu Yaguang's hand, looking around.

Lamb, pork, shrimp, and all kinds of dried fruits, snacks, and dried vegetables—it has everything!

Similar to going to the market in later generations, the festive atmosphere of the New Year immediately came.

Zhou Yanchen's gaze swept over the live shrimp in the basin. "Stop for a moment."

Zhou Yanxing: "Brother, what do you want to buy?"

Zhou Yanchen pointed to the ground, "Buy some shrimp."

Lu Yaguang tugged at Lu Yan's hand, "Mom, this is your favorite food!"

It was indeed Lu Yan's favorite food. She loved seafood, but seafood was scarce in this era.

Zhou Yanxing glanced at his third brother, then squatted down and said, "Comrade, weigh out ten jin for us."

The boss immediately laughed upon hearing this, "Okay!"

After weighing the items, Zhou Yanxing carried them, Zhou Nuannuan paid, and they continued walking. Lu Yan saw cigarettes and liquor, but since they hadn't come to buy New Year's goods, they only looked at many things without buying anything.

Suddenly, Lu Yan noticed the sesame paste placed next to the sesame oil.

Lu Yan: "Comrade, how much is the sesame paste?"

"One yuan and sixty cents per pound."

Lu Yan: "What's the maximum number I can buy?"

In those days, sesame paste was rationed according to the food ration book, and you couldn't buy more. When Lu Yan went to eat hot pot before, she was only allowed to buy one ounce.

"Comrade, the quantity is currently limited, so you can buy more if you like."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan quickly said, "Give me two jin, oh, no, five jin."

"Okay."

Zhou Nuannuan came closer and said, "Sister Yanyan, you don't need sesame paste in winter."

They only use it in the summer when eating noodles or cold dishes; they don't need so much when it's cold.

Lu Yan: "To go with hot pot."

Zhou Nuannuan remembered the taste of hot pot again and quickly handed over the money.

Lu Yan didn't rush to pay; instead, she took the prepared bottle and put the weighed sesame paste inside.

Lu Yan also bought tomatoes, green peppers, winter bamboo shoots, yams, dried bean curd sticks, dried wood ear mushrooms, and dried shiitake mushrooms.

Don't be surprised, northern Beijing is indeed northern Beijing; the countryside doesn't have so many kinds of vegetables.

"Mom, let's go take a look over there!"

Suddenly, Lu Yaguang pulled Lu Yan towards the stall.

Seeing the firecrackers and toys on the ground, Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh. It's true what they say, people worry about things they don't know. If her son hadn't dragged her here, she would have noticed these little trinkets.

Lu Yan squatted down. "Choose one."

I just got my salary yesterday, and I have to fulfill my son's wish.

"Mommy, I want a steel whip, and firecrackers..." Lu Yaguang pointed his chubby little hand at the stall, "And marbles!"

Lu Yan, with her deep pockets, exclaimed, "Buy it!"

Zhou Nuannuan ran over to pay, but Lu Yan stopped her. It was for her son, so of course she should pay for it.

Holding the firecrackers, Lu Yaguang jumped for joy, "Mom, I want to set them off as soon as we get home!"

Lu Yan rubbed his head. "Okay."

At this time, the whole country is promoting the transformation of customs and traditions, and one of the five prohibitions is that firecrackers are not allowed. There are no firecrackers or fireworks sold through regular state-owned channels, only the low-risk ones that Lu Yaguang has.

After browsing for a while, Zhou Nuannuan exclaimed, "They've actually let farmers set up stalls here this year!"

Since individual businesses were banned, apart from the black market, no one dares to openly sell things on the street.

But today, people from rural areas on the outskirts of Beijing are setting up stalls here.

Lu Yan had just noticed that it was 1976, and the overall situation was better than in previous years. Especially now that the New Year was approaching, farmers were going out to sell some things to supplement their income, so the patrolmen turned a blind eye.

Zhou Nuannuan had always been compassionate towards the weak, so she ran over and asked, "Grandpa, did you catch the fish yourself?"

The old man could tell from Zhou Nuannuan's clothes that she came from a wealthy family, so he smiled at her and said, "Yes, this fish is delicious. There are also eggs laid by my hen over here. These two rabbits were hunted by my son in the mountains, and they're very plump."

Lu Yan stood to the side looking at the rabbit with its legs tied on the ground. Suddenly, she glanced to her left.

Nothing unusual was found in the area that was in sight.

Lu Yan frowned, feeling that someone had been looking in their direction just now.

Lu Yan looked ahead again, thinking that she must have been mistaken because there were too many people. She looked down at the rabbit on the ground and glanced at a couple next to her. There was a little girl standing next to them, looking timid and scared.

Lu Yan glanced at it and then looked away.

Zhou Nuannuan glanced at the dusty rabbit, then at the old man whose nose was red from the cold, turned her head and bit her lip to look at Zhou Yanchen, "Third Brother, let's buy them all."

The old man is too old to stand the cold. After they finish buying the goods, he can go home.

Zhou Yanchen nodded calmly. "Buy it."

Zhou Nuannuan immediately smiled, "Grandpa, we'll take them all. How much are they?"

The old man was overjoyed and quickly got up to hand her the two rabbits. "One rabbit is fifteen yuan, two rabbits are thirty yuan, eggs are seven cents each, and these two fish are two yuan and fifty cents. That's thirty-three yuan and sixty cents in total."

The rabbit looked to weigh seven or eight pounds, and since no fare was required, the price seemed reasonable.

Zhou Nuannuan paid and handed the items to Zhou Yanxing.

Zhou Yanxing looked at her and said, "My dear lady, we haven't bought any clothes yet. If you keep buying like this, I'll be exhausted."
