Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 34 Arrangement
"Splash! Splash!"

The river murmurs softly, accompanied by the croaking of frogs and cicadas in the fields and trees, creating a symphony unique to the night.

Deep in the empty reed marshes downstream of the Lishui River, a relatively flat area, trampled out by human hands, is now bustling with activity.

A group of people silently bought and sold goods at a makeshift stall laid out on the ground.

Zhang Ze, who had stumbled upon this place by chance, paid a two-cent entrance fee and then led Mao Qianjin to explore it from beginning to end.

No matter how much grain was on the stall, it was snatched up by others as soon as it appeared.

Perhaps because it's a mountainous city, wild game is quite common, but it doesn't sell that quickly.

They spent four yuan to buy a wild pheasant weighing less than five jin (approximately 2.5-2.5 kg), and also bought about ten wild duck eggs.

They didn't pay much attention to other items like clothes, shoes, or industrial goods, as they weren't particularly scarce. They quickly left through the exit path after collecting their belongings.

……

At the same time, not long after leaving the Qu family, Su Ning suddenly remembered something and slapped her forehead hard, "Luckily, I didn't go too far!"

When I arrived at the Qu family's house again, I found that Xiao Qu was still holding the blue glazed porcelain bowl with a small crack in both hands, standing blankly on the threshold, looking sullen.

"Phew~ Little Qu, why didn't you close the door and go back inside?"

"elder sister!"

Hearing the sound, Qu Hui looked up with a surprised expression. Seeing the person who had left return, he jumped up happily, ignoring the cold water that had been splashed on him.

"Little Qu, do you have a ladder at home?"

"Yes, wait a minute, sister~"

Huang Shufen, who was in the main room, was feeling uneasy as she was being forced to accept two bags of steamed buns and mantou as gifts. Upon hearing a familiar voice, she quickly grabbed them and hurried out.

"Ningning, this won't do! You must take the things back right away..."

"Grandma, I need the ladder, it's urgent!"

"Oh, yes, then wait here while Grandma goes to get it for you!"

Su Ning took the things from her and nodded obediently. She then hurriedly went to get the ladder while the other person turned away, and quietly put the two bags back on the table inside the room.

The old man and the young man quickly carried the ladder out.

Considering her small stature, Huang Shufen did not take the long ladder used for the roof, but instead placed the short wooden ladder in the backyard that was usually used to hang melon vines.

"Ningning, do you think this height is okay?"

The ladder is about a meter long but less than two meters, which is more than enough. It doesn't look heavy, so she should be able to move it by herself.

Suning took the ladder, and without any regard for etiquette, carried it over his shoulder, passing his head through the middle, and said goodbye to the grandfather and grandson a second time in an urgent tone.

"Hey, Ningning, you have trouble walking. How about Grandma takes you there? Where are you going?"

"No, no, I can manage, Mother-in-law. If there's no time, I'll leave now!"

"Be careful, slow down, Ningning!"

Seeing the anxious look on her face, Huang Shufen figured that something urgent might have happened and it might be inconvenient for an old woman like herself to accompany her, so she stopped insisting and could only give her a few words of advice with worry in her eyes.

After everyone disappeared into the darkness and walked away, and closed the door, they recalled that the girl had left with empty hands.

Huang Shufen led her grandson into the house quickly, and sure enough, she saw the things she had taken out lying quietly on the table again.

It only dawned on me later that I understood why this person was in such a hurry, carrying a ladder and running as if being chased by a dog.

He was immediately amused, annoyed, and heartbroken at the same time. "This girl! Come back here."

"Milk~" "Eat!"

"Hiss~ White flour steamed buns? Big meat buns?"

Qu Huiren was stunned when his grandmother stuffed one into each of his hands. He couldn't believe it and squeezed them hard. The soft, warm flesh was still warm: It's real!
Touching his little face, Huang Shufen's bloodshot eyes were already brimming with tears, but she still smiled, "Hui'er, you must always remember these people who have been kind to us and good to us!"

"Yes, I know. I will definitely repay them when I grow up."

……

Using the ladder, Su Ning easily climbed back to her room at the guesthouse. After putting the ladder away in her spatial storage, she stretched lazily and collapsed onto the bed.

After about ten minutes, the feeling of weakness and numbness in her legs subsided considerably, and she slowly got up.

"Wow~"

I poured half a basin of hot water into the enamel basin that was on the shelf by the door, took out a towel, toothpaste, and toothbrush from the duffel bag containing my toiletries, and then found a change of clothes from head to toe.

Carrying a full load of things, I opened the door and headed to the communal toilet and shower room on the second floor.

After carefully confirming that the door to the small cubicle was locked, I slipped into the Peach Blossom Courtyard with my belongings and took a refreshing shower.

……

"Brother Zhang, Brother Mao?"

With her half-dry hair hanging down and a basin of clean clothes in it, she had just come out of the bathroom when she saw two people with their hands full standing blankly at her door.

He quickly stepped forward to help open the door, put down the basin, turned around to take the lunch boxes and bowls from their hands, and placed them on the only small table in the room.

"Ningning must be starving! Come on, try your brothers' cooking!"

"Stewed pheasant and stir-fried wild duck eggs with scallions, it smells delicious."

Surprised by the steaming food, Su Ning raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled. "Where did these pheasants and duck eggs come from?"

"All the state-run restaurants outside are closed, and the guesthouse only has rice left, but luckily we got a pheasant and a duck egg in exchange."

That place should refer to the black market in the ancient city.

Nodding in understanding, they didn't ask any more questions. The three of them began to eat and chat about tomorrow's plans and the arrangements that followed.

From the bag full of house certificates left by her grandfather, she had found the one in Xiangnan before she set off, and had also studied it carefully with Grandpa Fu.

Besides the two buildings in Xingcheng, there are two separate courtyards of different sizes in Gushi.

In Yong County, which is under the jurisdiction of Gushi, there is a small house in Yazi Town, which has now been renamed Hongqi Commune. The remaining house is the Su family ancestral home located in the Third Production Brigade.

A few years later, Grandpa Fu was sent to the First Production Brigade under the Hongqi Commune in Yong County.

Fortunately, Gushi is not far from Yongxian County, and there are many buses running between the two places, with an average of one bus per hour, so it takes less than two hours to get there.

"So Ningning, you mean one of us will go to the transport team in Yong County, and the other will go to the Red Flag Commune?"

"Yeah, that's right. What do you two think, Brother Zhang and Brother Mao?"

This is equivalent to giving each person two jobs and receiving double the salary!
Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin looked at each other, feeling that doing so would be a dangerous move.

He said he would secretly protect her safety and that there would be many things he would have to do according to her arrangements in the future, but in reality, they both had jobs on the surface, so how could he possibly carry out the protection? And what about the future? How long into the future?
"No way, wouldn't that just let us take advantage of Ningning for nothing?"

"Yes, yes, Ningning, how about this? There's no danger in Gushi right now. I can take turns protecting you, both secretly and openly, with Brother Zhang."

When the other person is resting, they can find some odd jobs.
