Become a burden in a period novel

Qin Wangshu had wanted a flashlight for a long time. After all, it was too dark at night in the brigade. It was okay when there was a moon, but when there was no moon, it was almost pitch dark.

Fortunately, she had always worked from sunrise to sunset and did not need to go out. When she delivered goods to Mengge and his men, it was almost always when the moon was out.

But every night when she wanted to get up, she had to light a kerosene lamp, which was not convenient at all.

That’s right, Qianshan Brigade had no electricity at all, or rather, most of the brigades in the entire commune had no electricity.

Now that Mengge asked her to continue delivering goods, she wanted to ask if they could send her a flashlight. With a flashlight, she wouldn't have to grope in the dark anymore.

"I don't know about that. I'll go back and ask Brother Meng. If there is any, I'll bring it to you when I come to pick up the things in a few days." He didn't agree immediately. After all, he didn't know what goods Brother Meng had.

"Okay, if you have any, bring me a few more batteries." Qin Wangshu said and turned to leave.

The man went to the other side, as if they were just random strangers.

When Qin Wangshu found Aunt Luo at the market, she was buying tofu. Qin Wangshu looked at the various soy products on the tofu stall and thought of the snacks he would have in the future.

Qin Wangshu swallowed and walked to Aunt Luo's side. "You're back. What did you buy?"

"I bought some food to eat during the New Year." Qin Wangshu showed off his backpack.

"Okay, I've bought everything here. Let's go sit over there." Aunt Luo straightened up.

"Okay, why don't you buy some more tofu? It will last for a long time." Now that the weather is cold, the tofu can be stored for a long time. You can buy some more and keep them at home.

"No, these are enough. If not, go to Grandma Wang's house to buy some. Her tofu is also very delicious." The Grandma Wang that Aunt Luo mentioned is an old woman in the brigade. She has the skill of making tofu, and the tofu she makes is always delicious.

Now that she is old, her son has taken over the job and continues to make tofu.

"Okay then." Qin Wangshu knew that Aunt Luo would not buy anything else, so he went to rest with her.

After spending most of the day at the market and buying some things for lunch, they went to find a place where the donkey carts were parked.

The uncle driving the donkey cart made many trips back and forth today and brought many people over.

After Qin Wangshu and his friends arrived, a few more people came soon. After they had enough people in a car, they set off.

Everyone was carrying large and small bags, and they were discussing what they saw and heard at the market as they walked. Aunt Luo was also chatting with someone, and Qin Wangshu couldn't get a word in, so he didn't force himself.

She leaned on the donkey cart, listening to Aunt Luo's conversation with others, and her thoughts gradually drifted away. The bumps in the donkey cart did not affect the people's interest in talking, nor did it make Qin Wangshu feel uncomfortable.

After knowing that she could continue to supply goods, Qin Wangshu thought about what kind of goods she could provide this time. She had a lot of things in her space, and she even collected some other fruit trees later, which had now begun to bloom and bear fruit.

Most of these fruit trees were planted from seeds, which took a lot of space and well water, and also took a lot of time.

Qin Wangshu knew that delicious fruits in later generations were generally the result of grafted fruit trees, or several generations of cultivation.

The fruits in her space all rely on the water from the space well. This well water is so magical. I really don’t know what the era was like when that ancestor lived? Is it as exciting as described in those fairy tale novels or TV dramas?

After Qin Wangshu returned, he spent two days preparing the goods. In addition to eggs and hens, Qin Wangshu also prepared red dates, apples and oranges.

There are more red dates, after all, there are many date trees in her space. There are relatively fewer apples, after all, she has just cultivated the apple trees not long ago, as to why she doesn't keep them for herself?

It was too eye-catching. Only if she put this batch of apples and oranges into the black market could these fruits appear in her life smoothly. Otherwise, how could she explain how fruits that were not available in the entire county appeared in her hands?

In addition to apples and oranges, there are some other fruits, but those fruits are not the kind that can be stored for a long time. If they are really taken out, they will probably arouse suspicion.

In the evening, Qin Wangshu went out again after Aunt Luo fell asleep. After taking out the prepared things, she waited for Mengge's people to come and take them.

The wind on a winter night was very cold. Qin Wangshu looked up at the sky full of stars. The Orion constellation above his head was very bright, especially the three connected stars on its belt, which were particularly eye-catching.

Now that there is no light pollution, it seems that we can see such a beautiful starry sky every day.

Qin Wangshu kept looking up at the stars, and time passed by unknowingly.

By the time the sound of wheels hitting the ground was heard, nearly an hour had passed.

"Qin Zhiqing." The visitor greeted.

This was the man who had been coming to pick up the goods. His name was Jianzi, and he was a person Mengge trusted. Mengge also let him handle the communication between him and Qin Wangshu.

It’s not that Meng Ge had never thought about getting the source of goods himself, but after observing for a long time, he still had no idea where Qin Wangshu got the goods from.

Since he couldn't get the source of goods, he could only protect Qin Wangshu, the supplier, so the people who came into contact with Qin Wangshu were the people Meng Ge trusted the most.

"The goods are here. Pay me after you sell them." Qin Wangshu pointed to the baskets and sacks over there.

"Thank you for your trust, Qin Zhiqing. Here are the flashlight and batteries you asked for." Jianzi took out the flashlight and batteries from the bag on his back. "Qin Zhiqing, is there anything else you need? I can bring it to you next time I come."

"No more. The money for the flashlight will be deducted from this payment." Qin Wangshu actually also wanted a radio.

But again, it was too eye-catching. These days, it's not enough to just have money, you also need tickets. Radio tickets are very precious, and she can't get them easily.

"Okay, then Qin Zhiqing, you should go back soon. It's cold outside." Jianzi said with concern.

Although Qin Zhiqing has gained some weight and grown taller during this period, he is still a little thin. It is better for him not to stay outside for too long on such a cold night.

"Okay, I'll go back first. Next time you come over, I'll provide another batch of goods."

"Thank you very much, Qin Zhiqing!" Jianzi said happily.

Originally, Meng Ge didn't take Qin Zhiqing's goods seriously, but the goods he provided became more and more numerous and more and more rare, so they became more and more interested in him.

Fortunately, she had been supplying them with goods and had not thought of looking for anyone else. Meng Ge had already given an order that the matter of Qin Zhiqing must be kept secret and no one else must be allowed to know who supplied them with goods.
