Chapter 7: Aunt Li

After Aunt Li left, Zhou Yi explained to Song Xi, “That person just now is Aunt Li from next door. She’s not a bad person. If you have anything you don’t understand in the future, you can ask her.”

Song Xi nodded thoughtfully.

Zhou Yi had grown up here and had definitely interacted with Aunt Li for a long time.

Since he said that Aunt Li was not a bad person, she was definitely not a bad person.

It was acceptable to have some small problems. After all, no one was perfect.

After breakfast, Zhou Yi sent Song Xi back to her room and reminded her worriedly, “Wife, rest at home. I’ll go see if there’s anything to do. Don’t be afraid when I’m not at home. I’ll be back soon. I’ve also placed tea on the table for you. This way, if you want to drink water, you can reach out and bring it over.”

“Got it.” Song Xi turned her back to him and really felt embarrassed.

He actually treated her like a child, even though this body was seventeen years old.

But she was a big sister who was almost 30 years old!

After Zhou Yi left, Song Xi lay on the bed for about ten minutes.

After confirming that Zhou Yi would not be back for a while, she got out of bed and used all her strength to drag the bamboo chair behind the door.

Then, she leaned against the door and sat there. This way, she was close to the courtyard door and could come out of the Space Supermarket immediately when she heard voices.

She was afraid of exposing her space and scaring others if she suddenly appeared.

When everything was ready, Song Xi entered the space again to explore her daily supermarket.

She was the boss of this supermarket and knew the layout of the supermarket the best.

She could accurately find what was inside and what area it was with her eyes closed.

As for why this supermarket had transmigrated with her and become her golden finger, she did not know what was going on.

But did it matter?

This was not important. What was important was that from now on, her standard of living could infinitely approach her standard of living in her original world.

This was because Song Xi’s supermarket in the original world was located in a place where the urban and rural areas met.

Many things inside were actually prepared for the nearby farmers.

It was cheap, affordable, and useful. The nearby farmers liked it.

Song Xi sorted out some clothes, shoes, candles, flashlights, scissors, kitchen knives, chopping boards, cutlery, spoons, rice, flour, food, oil, and other daily necessities that suited this era.

She placed it where it was within her reach.

She planned to take it out after Zhou Yi brought her to the commune’s hospital for a checkup.

When the time came, she would tell Zhou Yi that she had bought it. Zhou Yi would probably not suspect so much.

Then, she took a few watches without words.

She even used a transparent bag specially used by the supermarket to store 20 catties of rice, 20 catties of millet, and 20 catties of peanuts.

She also took 20 packets of brown sugar and 20 packets of white sugar. She planned to see if she could sell them for some money on the day she went to the commune.

She did not know much about this era, but she had seen many era novels and television dramas.

Knowing that there was a night market in this era, they could trade secretly. As long as they were careful, it would be fine.

Without the night market, countless people would starve to death.

The entire supermarket was hers. She could take whatever she wanted without anyone’s permission.

She’ll take out the things in the supermarket and exchange them for money in this era.

According to the prices of goods in this era, it did not seem worth it.

But she had to exchange it for the money of this era.

She could not always let Zhou Yi take care of her. It was hard for Zhou Yi to earn money.

Although she and Zhou Yi were not really husband and wife, she wanted to help Zhou Yi relieve the pressure since he treated her so well.

After that, Song Xi also took a pile of fruit and vegetable seeds.

She took ten packets of each.

She also went to the fishing gear area to get lobster nets, round shrinkable fish cages, and bait for fishing.

After Song Xi came out of the space, she immediately removed the wrapper of the seeds and wrapped them in her old clothes and hid them in the wardrobe.

When her body recovered, she would plant it according to the season.

The reason why she took these things was mainly because she was afraid that the supermarket would suddenly disappear.

However, with the seeds of fruits and vegetables and modern fishing tools, she could definitely live a good life in this barren era.

After all the work, Song Xi was tired and hot. She used a towel to reach into her clothes and wipe herself before lying down to rest.

After a while, she fell asleep again with a smile on her lips.

Although her house, car, and money from the modern times were all gone.

There were only so many goods in the supermarket. They might be gone after taking them.

But Song Xi was still happy. This was simply timely help. How could she not be happy?

At least her life for the next few years was guaranteed.

Besides, she and Zhou Yi would work hard for life. It was not like they were sitting around and eating into their savings. She was not afraid at all.

It could be said that the sudden appearance of the supermarket gave Song Xi great courage and confidence.

The future would definitely be better.

Ping’an Village was surrounded by mountains on all sides. There were many mountains and few paddy fields.

They had just finished rush-harvesting and rush-planting. There was nothing much to do in the paddy field now. Everyone was busy on the mountain.

Zhou Yi was weeding attentively when someone suddenly patted his shoulder.

He looked back. It was his friend, Zhou Ping.

He was still a single man and he was not anxious. His parents were biased towards the other children, so they were not anxious for him as well.

“What?” Zhou Yi asked indifferently.

“It’s the time when frogs are fat. Why don’t we go to the fields and rivers at night to catch frogs? Frog porridge is not bad. It can nourish your wife’s body.” As Zhou Ping spoke, he raised his hand to wipe his mouth. He was almost drooling.

Everyone was poor and had no meat to eat. Frog was also a good choice.

Stewing porridge with frog and a little salt. The taste is really not bad.

However, he did not have a single grain of rice at home now. He could only wait for when they distributed food in the autumn.

However, their village did not distribute paddy because paddy was used to deliver tax grain to the state.

At that time, he could only use coarse grain to exchange for some paddy from the villages outside.

Even if they exchanged, they would not be able to exchange for more than a few catties. If they shedded the husk and turned it into rice, it would be even less.

Many families could not bear to eat rice. Rice was saved for special periods, such as when someone in the family was sick or when there was someone new in the family.

“No, my wife doesn’t like to eat these strange things.”

Zhou Yi could already tell that his wife did not like to eat wild boar meat.

Then she definitely didn’t like to eat wild animals either.

Although things like chickens and snakes tasted delicious, he knew that his wife would definitely not eat them.

He would not eat it in the future, in case his wife despised him.

“Yo, yo, yo!” Zhou Ping teased with a smile. “It’s only been a few days, and you’re already calling her your wife. It seems like your wife has won your heart. It’s not in vain that you spent so much money to marry her, but her health…”

Everyone in Ping’an Village knew about Zhou Yi’s wife.

Everyone knew that the Song Family had sent their seriously injured granddaughter over. Everyone pitied Zhou Yi.

They had thought that Zhou Yi would give up, but they did not expect him to persevere. He was quite loyal.

Everyone could see how tired Zhou Yi was those few days.
