A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Chapter 32 Why is there an exclamation mark in the manor again?

After Shen Jiaren returned to her room, she prepared to wash up and go to bed.

He looked around the kitchen, then his own room and the outer room.

I found that this didn’t work.

why?

Because the coal delivery job was previously done by Liu Hui and Goudan.

And she just found out yesterday that the boy who was carrying coal for her while looking after the house was Liu Hui's nephew, and he was the child she rescued.

If Liu Hui were to send her some commonly used wooden furniture tomorrow, she would be able to see at a glance that her coal consumption was almost zero, because the number of coal balls had not changed, and the most important thing was that there was no kindling, that is, no pine needles as kindling.

Although I carried firewood back home some time ago, I had no tools to chop the firewood, so the firewood was left there where I had carried it.

What’s more important is that there are no signs of cooking in the kitchen, it’s basically all dust.

It can be explained that the operation is done with a coal donkey, but the number of coal briquettes needs to be adjusted, and the most important thing is that there are no pine needles and they need to be picked up.

Shen Jiaren looked up and saw the moonless sky with few stars. She really didn't dare to go out into the mountains to collect firewood.

Shen Jiaren thought again that there was a mountain behind her manor. When she went to Zhang Aihua's house to get something this afternoon, she saw the screen full of exclamation marks of the manor. She guessed that there was some requirement for the manor's mission again.

Shen Jiaren was about to go into the manor to see if she could complete the task that was filled with exclamation marks on the screen, and pick up some pine needles by the way.

As a result, when Shen Jiaren was about to change into work clothes and get ready to enter the manor to start working hard, she found that there was no sugar in her pocket.

It's so embarrassing. My pocket is a little bulging and I didn't even notice it.

I put it in a big bag specifically to give as a thank you gift for the meal, but I ended up taking it out and bringing it back the same way.

Shen Jiaren patted her head and smiled speechlessly. She didn't know what she did when she was eating today. She hadn't been able to give the sugar away for such a long time. Maybe next time.

Or I could wait until tomorrow, when Liu Hui comes over, and ask him to take it back. After all, I was planning to ask someone to ask Sister Su Hongmei from the supply and marketing cooperative to see when I could get the grain and coupons listed in my grain book. After all, after working in the fields these days and seeing the state of the crops, I knew it would probably be harvested in a few days.

If you don't get the things before the autumn harvest, you may not be able to ask for leave from the team leader and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to get the things between the beginning and the end of the autumn harvest.

This will require the trouble of Liu Hui to ask for help. After receiving the food, it may also require the trouble of Liu Hui to take it back.

I don’t know if I will have enough sugar for the return gift by then. If not, I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative and the town next time and spend more time in these two places to get a better understanding of the current market situation and the types of goods available, and see what else can be taken out from the manor.

The only candies I can take out now are the candies I saw last time at the supply and marketing cooperative, which are fruit candies and White Rabbit milk candies. Fruit candies are not easy to take out now because they look different from the fruit hard candies nowadays. The best ones are White Rabbit milk candies because the packaging bags of White Rabbit milk candies do not have the corresponding production information and other information that does not match this era.

Moreover, it looks almost the same as the toffee candies of today, so it won't cause any misunderstanding.

Otherwise, I have nothing now, only the food I borrowed from the brigade warehouse last time. The key point is that the last time I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, I only bought daily necessities, and didn’t buy much food. Without this thing, not only can I not improve my living conditions, I also don’t know what things in the manor I can take out.

The key is that there is no way to return a gift, and there is no way to return a favor.

Shen Jiaren thought about it and felt that it was useless to think so much. There were not so many spectators in life. Even if there were many gossipers, they could not stick to her all the time to see what happened to her. When the time came, she could pay attention to the logic and the preface and postscript, and she would be able to explain it.

After changing her clothes, Shen Jiaren entered the manor.

After entering the manor, Shen Jiaren clicked on the manor's task panel, and there were actually task rewards on it.

Shen Jiaren clicked on it and saw that oh wow, it turned out to be the reward for triggering a random task, which was the reward for saving someone today.

Task attributes: Random task

Mission content: Be helpful and randomly save a child who was suffering from heat stroke.

Mission Rewards: Random rescue reward points can be exchanged for energy to provide energy for the manor's self-operation. The specific exchange points are scored based on the character's completion status.

After reading the task introduction, Shen Jiaren immediately smiled happily.

I originally thought it was a planting mission or some other mission, but it turned out to be a mission reward.

Although I didn't think about any rewards when I was doing it, I just wanted to do my best, but it would not be a bad idea if there could be subsequent rewards.

After all, the captain said there would be rewards. Although I was not very looking forward to it at that time, it is not a bad thing to receive the reward from the manor now. I am very happy.

As for the reward the captain mentioned, although we don’t know what it is, we can still look forward to it.

Shen Jiaren thought about it and decided to forget it. If the threshold is lowered a little, it will be more of a surprise. If the threshold is too high, then the original intention of saving people will be lost.

The most important thing is that now there are benefits. It can provide energy for the manor, which is more practical at present. At least when you take something out of the refrigerator, you don’t have to worry about not being able to take it out, and you can still eat the food you want.

After Shen Jiaren finished reading the task introduction, she closed the task introduction panel contentedly. After all, it felt good not to have to work. Moreover, there were no exclamation marks all over the sky of the manor, and there was no more pressure to complete the task. This relaxed feeling was even better.

Shen Jiaren felt that she was probably the kind of person who couldn't withstand strong pressure, especially when she saw the task status and the screen full of prompts. She really had a feeling of avoiding it. She wouldn't do it immediately unless it was necessary, and would at least delay it for a day or two.

Shen Jiaren left the manor and walked towards the place where rice was planted at that time, wanting to see how the rice was growing and whether it was about to mature.

If it is cooked, it means that their own food rations, fine grains such as rice, will not be in short supply.

When she hibernates in winter, she can eat delicious rice. When she thinks about the rice bowls, egg fried rice, clay pot rice, etc., Shen Jiaren feels like her mouth is watering.

Although there is rice in the manor, and although Shen Jiaren lives alone, she would rather eat new rice than stale rice.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren thought about it. Can the rice in the manor warehouse be sold? Can she earn some money so that she can go to the recycling station at this time, or pick up a bargain when wandering around the town?

After all, when I was in modern times, I particularly liked antiques, ancient buildings, gold, etc.

Shen Jiaren couldn't help but laugh again when she thought of this. She found that since she had this manor, this habit of daydreaming in her mind was becoming more and more incoherent.

Whatever I see, I can think of a lot of things, and after thinking, I can continue to associate a series of things.

Especially before I see the newly planted rice fields, I have already started thinking about selling the rice in the warehouse after the rice harvest, and then using the money to buy these worldly things.

When Shen Jiaren thought of this, she couldn't help but want to laugh. She was right. It didn't matter if vulgar people bought vulgar things and had more of them. The most important thing was whether she could really find and collect the messy things that she liked at that time, and whether she could get what she wanted.

After a while, Shen Jiaren arrived at the planting field.

While Shen Jiaren was dreaming about getting rich, she was looking at the lush green rice growing in the mission field.

Shen Jiaren looked at the rice growing in the fields. You know what, this manor cheat is really a cheat. It’s only been planted for a short time and it’s almost ripe.

It’s great, there are no diseases and I don’t need to weed myself. I can just wait until the rice is ripe and then harvest it.

Shen Jiaren looked at the land and thought about it. It was nothing more than that everyone loved to daydream, and everyone wanted to get rich by taking some shortcuts.

It’s really too easy and too relaxing.

Look, in the real world, I am also working hard for rice. Now, just to weed the rice that is about to mature, my hands and waist feel so tired. And this is still a life of intermittent work, without any real work to do.

On the manor, after the rice is planted, there is no need to worry about it anymore.

This kind of difference and contrast really makes me like the manor more than reality.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren felt that she should get used to the outside world as soon as possible. If she kept wandering around the manor, or developed the habit of eating directly in the manor, would she still be able to get used to it if the manor was no longer there in the future? ?

You can be lazy at any time, but you can't be diligent all at once.

Although people in later generations often say that the best time to plant a tree, apart from ten years ago, is now.

But in this day and age, everyone is digging for food in the soil and adapting to the four seasons. If you miss one crop, you will miss all the crops.

By then, there might not even be enough time for the northwest wind to drink.

In addition, the autumn harvest is just a few days away. If we don’t get used to this intensity of labor before the harvest, it will be really bad if it affects the storage of grain when the harvest comes.

After all, farming is really hard work, and the food is related to the food and drink of the people in the village, so we cannot be too lazy.

After thinking so much, Shen Jiaren touched the rice in the field to see if there were any grains in it and whether the grains were edible.

What Shen Jiaren was thinking was that after picking the green millet and peeling the rice, she could cook porridge tomorrow so that she would have something to eat when she got home from work.

This way, you don’t have to eat noodles or the fast food left in the manor.

I hope that we won’t be so dependent on the manor anymore. I always think of going to the manor to solve problems.

Shen Jiaren touched the rice and found that it was still a little shriveled and could not be eaten yet. Shen Jiaren planned to go to the restaurant of the manor to find some brown rice and make some rice soup tomorrow. She also hoped that she could remember it and drink rice soup tomorrow.

After looking at the rice fields, Shen Jiaren turned back to the manor, went to the warehouse to get a bag, and prepared to go to the mountain next to the manor to pick some pine needles.

As soon as he walked to the foot of the mountain with the bag, a warning sound appeared in the sky above the manor.

"Nighttime is the time when nocturnal animals are active. It is recommended not to go into the mountains at night to avoid encountering nighttime dangers."

When Shen Jiaren saw the slogan, she thought, "Okay, there's no need to pick up pine needles anymore. Let's go back and have a rest."

There may be wild animals on the mountain, so please be careful.

After all, we only have one life, and everything else is subsidiary. Life is more important.

Shen Jiaren took the bag back to the manor and put the bag back to its original place in the warehouse.

After washing up at the manor, Shen Jiaren returned to the house and prepared to go to bed to rest.

Shen Jiaren left the manor and checked the kitchen, outer room, and the east and west rooms of the main house to see if there were any things that should not appear in this era and were easily exposed.

After Shen Jiaren took a look around, she was suddenly glad that she didn't have to cook very often. She just cooked noodles, instant noodles and fast food, which made it easy to destroy the body and at the same time she could eat and drink her fill.

Shen Jiaren went to the kitchen and collected some of the coal briquettes and firewood into the warehouse of the manor. Then she began to check if there was anything out of the ordinary.

After Shen Jiaren looked around and found nothing unusual, she went to bed. After all, she was exhausted after a day's work, especially after saving someone in the afternoon. She was exhausted physically and mentally, and was very tired.

After Shen Jiaren got on the kang, she fell into a deep sleep without even turning over.

The next day, after Shen Jiaren woke up, she made a cup of egg water, ate some snacks, and then went out to work.

When Shen Jiaren was walking alone on the road, she didn't feel anything. But when she started to meet up with the educated youth, she heard people discussing her. Some were praising her, while others were saying that she was arrogant and didn't even say hello when they saw her.

When everyone arrived in front of the brigade's warehouse, the discussion reached its climax, especially Aunt Zhou who had worked with them a few days ago.

Maybe because he had spoken to Shen Jiaren a few days ago and felt familiar with her, when he saw Shen Jiaren coming to the front of the warehouse, he called out, "Shen Zhiqing, Shen Zhiqing, come over here, I have a vacant seat, come over here."

Before Shen Jiaren could answer, she heard Liu's aunt Zhang Aihua say, "What are you yelling for? What are you yelling for? Aunt Zhou, do you know her? You're just yelling at her. What do you want to do? You look so gloating. You just can't hold back your fart. What do you want to do?"

When Mrs. Zhou heard someone talking back at her, she immediately responded, "My name is Shen Zhiqing, how can it bother you, an old woman? You care so much, you are just eating radishes and worrying about other people's business. Do you have nothing to do with it?"

Zhang Aihua was furious when she saw Mrs. Zhou still accusing her of meddling in other people's business. She immediately retorted, "She saved my grandson. What's wrong with that? Is that not okay? Just because she saved my dog's life, I can't watch you bully her."

When Mrs. Zhou saw Zhang Aihua's voice suddenly become higher and she stood up, as if she was about to come over, she curled her lips and said nothing more.

When Shen Jiaren saw this situation, she nodded and smiled at Aunt Zhang Aihua, then stood in the team of educated youth and did not move again.

Shen Jiaren listened to the team leader Liu Dashan saying that the autumn harvest would be possible in less than half a month. The specific time was to be determined, depending on the weather conditions and the condition of the rice in the fields. Everyone should be prepared for the autumn harvest.

After saying this, he dismissed everyone and told them to quickly receive their work points and get back to work.

After all, working time waits for no one, and autumn harvest also waits for no one, so it is important to do the farm work in the fields as soon as possible.
