Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"Wife, I don't mean anything else. I'm just afraid that you will dislike me."

"Wife, you are so capable, but I am useless except for my strength."

"Wife, I just want to make life better for our family."

Gu Zhen explained hurriedly, but the tears that Shi Yan shed, which were stimulated by her few supernatural powers, were not so easy to take back.

Shi Yan cried until her eyes were red and swollen before she finally stopped crying.

"If you really love me, you should stay at home."

"Besides, those who have money have their own way of living, and those who don't have money have their own way of living. If you were not at home, we, an orphan and a widow, would not be able to survive at all."

"I have no objection to my younger brothers and sisters going to school. I have always envied those who are good at studying. It's just that I am too old now and I can't learn anything if I go to school."

"My younger brothers and sisters will definitely have a better future if they learn more knowledge."

"Tomorrow I will go to town with you and sell all the refined rice and flour. Together with the money given by the commune, it will be enough for the two little ones to go to school this year."

"Don't share yours and mine with me. Just work hard, and when you become successful in the future, let me live the good life of an official's wife."

Knowing that this person is still not able to come to terms with the situation, based on her opinion of Gu Zhen, he is down-to-earth and hardworking. Even if he does not achieve great success in the future, his life will not be too bad, not to mention that she is there for him.

The college entrance examination will be resumed this year, and the individual economy will gradually open up next. You will always find a way out then. Even if you don’t have a space for yourself, you will only suffer for two years at most.

And Gu Zhen had no idea what Shi Yan was thinking. He just felt that this daughter-in-law was worth marrying and was particularly touched.

No matter whether he can achieve great success in the future, he must still treat his wife as his ancestor.

"Wife, I will listen to you from now on. Let's go to the town tomorrow. I will ask the village chief for another day off this afternoon."

Shi Yan and Gu Zhen, the young couple, reached a consensus, while on the other side of the village, Shen Nanci was applying plaster to Ye Beiyu who had leg pain.

Because Ye Beiyu's leg injury had not healed, and he was depressed because he could not return to the army, even though the two had been married for some time, they had never had any intimate contact.

At this moment, Shen Nanci's face turned red, and she kept avoiding Ye Beiyu's gaze on her.

"Brother Beiyu, Xiaoman and I picked a lot of herbs in the mountains today. I plan to bring them to town tomorrow morning to exchange for some herbs that may be useful to you."

"I got a prescription earlier that can extend the meridians and fix bones. Once I have all the herbs, I will give it to Brother Beiyu."

"Brother Beiyu, I will definitely find a way to cure you."

When Ye Beiyu retired and returned home, he suddenly had a wife. He couldn't say he was disgusted, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

Shen Nanci is indeed a good girl, but his leg injury is somewhat of a burden. Now when he heard the girl say that she wanted to cure herself, although he knew it was impossible, he still had some hope.

"If you need to buy anything, you can tell me. When I was demobilized, the army gave me some money. You can use it. The mountains are not safe. I am worried about you, a female comrade, going up the mountains."

"My legs are not convenient right now. If anything happens to you, I, a half-crippled person, won't be able to help you."

Shen Nanci took the stack of big unity notes given by Ye Beiyu. Although he was surprised that Ye Beiyu had so much money, he thought that he would have to spend money in the future, so he still had to find a way to make a living.

Otherwise, she rarely worked in the fields before she got married, and the work points she earned now would definitely not be enough for her family to live a good life.

Two couples who were getting married in exchange for marriage at the same time met on the main road into the city early the next morning without any discussion.

Shi Yan was carrying a small basket on her body, which contained the two-grain flour pancakes and roasted sweet potatoes covered with soil that Gu Zhen had prepared early in the morning.

As for the things that needed to be exchanged for money on the black market, they were all in Gu Zhen's backpack.

When Shi Yan saw that Shen Nanci's head and face were covered tightly with a scarf and he was wearing extremely shabby clothes, she knew that Shen Nanci's purpose of going into the city must be not simple.

And Shi Yan had guessed correctly. Although Shen Nanci told Ye Beiyu that she was going to the pharmacy to exchange herbs, she actually brought a lot of chestnuts picked yesterday and planned to sell them on the black market.

The three of them got together and discussed it, and realized that they were all going to the black market. Shen Nanci immediately suggested that they go together, and Shi Yan was naturally 100% willing.

Follow the lucky heroine to the black market, and you won’t have to worry about anything happening.

The three of them went into the alley where the black market was located. Because they would be too obvious if they came out together to sell things, the three of them simply separated.

Shi Yan, who didn't sell anything, stood at the head of the alley to keep watch, while Gu Zhen and Shen Nanci stood in the middle and end of the alley, one respectively.

When they arrived at the alley, it was not yet fully light, so apart from the people who were huddled against the wall with things in their hands trying to sell them, no one came forward to ask for the price.

Shi Yan stood at the entrance of the alley and could see at any time whether there were people passing by on the street. Shi Yan had nothing to do, so she simply took out a lump of mud from the hurdle.

She exerted force with both hands and broke the clod of earth into two pieces. The outer layer of dry soil fell to the ground and soiled Shi Yan's black cloth shoes.

But when the yellow roasted sweet potatoes came out, an overbearing sweet fragrance wafted out, and the fragrance drifted to the noses of everyone in the box with the wind blowing in from the alley.

Some people had gotten up early to reserve a seat and were now dozing off while huddled up to reserve a seat. However, when they smelled the fragrance of the sweet potatoes, they all woke up.

Shi Yan didn't know that there were many people with empty stomachs in the alley, and at this moment they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Shi Yan was eating happily at the moment. People who got up early to go to work in the factory saw her and couldn't help but glance over here when they passed by.

Finally, a smartly dressed young female comrade couldn't help but walked towards Shi Yan. There was still some embarrassment on her face, but her eyes could not leave the sweet potato in Shi Yan's hand.

"Comrade, do you have any more sweet potatoes? I'm in a hurry to go to work, so I just want to eat something warm and soft. If you have any, please share one with me. I'll give you money to exchange it for one."

Although this lesbian used the word "exchange", it actually meant "buy", just to make it sound less taboo.

Shi Yan was eating happily, and she was very happy when she heard someone asking about sweet potatoes.

The vendors in this alley haven't opened their shops yet, and I was standing guard here, but someone noticed me even though I was eating a sweet potato.

But if someone wants to buy it, Shi Yan is of course very happy.

"Our sweet potatoes come from the private plots of each household, and we choose the sweetest and most glutinous ones to plant every year."

"It's not a rare thing, and I won't ask for an exorbitant price. I just want to earn some money for firewood. Three cents a piece, and I don't need a ticket. How about that?"
