I trade in both worlds

Xu Qiwei, who finally saw the big cookie, exclaimed, "It looks delicious."

Xu Zhun waited until his breathing calmed down a little, dragged the big gift bag and said to Xu Xu with a smile: "Sister, sister, let's buy a bag of this."

"Okay." Xu Xu helped put the gift bag on the shopping cart: "This bag has a lot of portions, let's buy one and eat it together when we get home."

Picked out some cookies they liked.

Next, I went to the beverage area and bought milk, yogurt and drinks. Finally, I bought snacks such as melon seeds, potato chips, and meat jerky.

Amid the children's laughter and joy, the shopping cart is filled with more and more New Year's goods.

Finally, the two shopping carts were filled with New Year's goods, with no space left.

Xu Ziqing and Xu Xu were satisfied and took the children to the cashier to pay.

The children were all excitedly circling around the shopping cart, looking forward to going home to open the gift packages and try all kinds of delicious food they had never eaten before.

"Okay, we've finished buying New Year's goods, let's go home now." Xu Ziqing said, pushing the shopping cart towards the elevator.

On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Ziqing drove back to Beijing after breakfast.

Xu Xu brought a few children to Xu Jizong's house. Today, he was going to help Aunt Xu prepare fried cakes, fried lotus root boxes, and fried twisted dough sticks for the New Year.

As soon as Xu Xu and the children walked into the house, they smelled the tempting aroma of oil and food.

"Uncle, Aunt, we are here." Xu Xu and the children lifted the door curtain of the main room, and a warm current mixed with the aroma of flour and the unique cozy smell of the kang blew in their faces.

In the main room, Xu Jizong and his two sons, Xu Youliang and Xu Youyin, were kneading dough for frying sugar cakes, fried sazi and twisted dough sticks. Aunt Xu and Lin Erya were kneading the dough beside them, and Chen Lihua was mixing the red bean paste.

Niu Niu was sitting on the kang, holding a rag doll in her arms, staring at Niu Dan who was crawling around on the kang.

When Niuniu saw Xu Jin, Xu Zhun, Xu Qiwei and Xu Tiantian come in, her eyes immediately lit up.

She jumped up happily, patted the edge of the kang with her little hands, and shouted excitedly: "Uncle Jin, Uncle Zhun, Brother Weiwei, Sister Tiantian, come up and play."

The twins climbed onto the kang using their hands and feet, hugged Niu Niu together, and started spinning in circles, making Niu Niu giggle.

Xu Qiwei looked around curiously, attracted by the lively scene in the main room.

He saw Xu Jizong kneading dough and wanted to try it too. So he broke free from Xu Xu's hand, walked over quickly, and touched the dough with his little hand.

"I want to knead the dough too!" Xu Qiwei shouted excitedly.

Ji Zong couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He picked up a small piece of dough and handed it to Xu Qiwei: "Okay, Weiwei, come and try kneading the dough too."

Xu Tiantian crawled behind Niu Dan, giggling as she crawled.

Xu Jizong waved the flour in his hand and said with a smile, "Xuxu is here. Come on, get on the kang and warm up."

Xu Xu sat down opposite Second Aunt Xu: "Second Aunt, what are you going to do now?"

"Let's fry the oil cakes first. Now, we can start stuffing them."

Second Aunt Xu and Xu Xu and the others divided the kneaded dough into even-sized portions, then kneaded them into round skins, filled them with red bean paste filling, sealed them, and flattened them into pancakes.

After the fried cakes are ready, everyone moves to the kitchen and starts frying them in oil.

After being busy until the evening, Xu Xu finally went home with his child, carrying fried cakes, sazi, and twisted dough sticks, and patting his waist.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, I continued to come to Xu Jizong's house to fry lotus root boxes, vegetarian meatballs, and meatballs.

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Xu prepared a few pieces of beef and a few boxes of cakes as holiday gifts for Doctor He, Shopkeeper Zheng and Sister Feng, and spent the afternoon washing up at home.

On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Xu looked at the New Year's goods prepared at home and wanted to pack some out to send as New Year gifts to Xu Jizong and the clan leader's family tomorrow.

After searching for a long time, I found that the New Year goods I bought were not suitable for showing in Dayunchao. After thinking about it, I decided that I still needed to go to the supermarket again to buy some cakes and meat that I could take out.

Xu Xu looked at the four children. She was afraid that she would not be able to take care of them all by herself. After thinking about it, she decided to leave the children at Xu Jizong's house first and come back quickly.

After sending a few children to Xu Jizong's house, Xu Xu returned to the modern era and opened his phone to look for a taxi app.

It was Xu Ziqi who helped Xu Xu download the taxi app on her phone. This was her first time taking a taxi in such a long time.

After opening the app, she carefully entered the departure and destination, checked them three times in detail, and only clicked on the "Call a Car Now" button after confirming that the addresses she entered were correct.

Next, Xu Xu was a little confused. What should she do? Should she just wait at home?

After waiting for five minutes, no one called her. Xu Xu continued to open the APP, but did not see her itinerary.

She was wondering if she had failed to place the order, and she randomly tapped on her phone with one hand, tapping on everything that was clickable.

She herself didn't know where she clicked, and the itinerary popped up, showing that no driver had accepted the order yet.

At this moment, Xu Xu came up with the idea of learning to drive and buying a car.

She didn't feel much about it before when Xu Ziqing was at home, but now that Xu Ziqing is not here, it is really troublesome for her to go out.

Looking at the order on her phone, she was prompted to choose other more expensive car models to increase the chance of getting a ride.

Xu Xu sighed and checked all the boxes that could be checked. Luckily, the nearest supermarket was only a dozen minutes’ drive away, and even if it was more expensive, it would only be a dozen yuan more.

It's still within her tolerance.

Sure enough, less than a minute after adding the money, someone took the order.

A line of words popped up on the phone screen: "The driver has accepted the order and is expected to arrive in 5 minutes."

Xu Xu packed her things and went to the door to wait. She was afraid that when the car arrived, she wouldn't see her and would leave.

Five minutes later, a white car slowly stopped in front of the gate.

The window rolled down, the driver looked at her with a smile and asked, "Is this the car you called?"

Xu Xu was stunned for a moment, checked the license plate number, nodded, and got into the car carefully.

The car started and drove smoothly on the road, and the scenery outside the window changed rapidly.

After arriving at the supermarket, Xu Xu paid the fare and thanked the driver before getting off.

Xu Xu pushed the shopping cart directly to the fresh food area and bought some frozen shrimps, two frozen yellow croakers, and half a beach sheep.

Then I went to the pastry area and bought two kilograms of osmanthus cake, brown sugar rice cake, walnut cake and almond cake.

She walked around the candy section several times but didn't see any suitable candy. Finally, after thinking about it, she bought two kilograms of maltose in small individual packages.

I plan to go back and cut the oil paper myself, rewrap it, and then give it as a gift.

When she got home, she packed up the frozen shrimps, frozen yellow croaker and half a beach sheep separately, put them in two bamboo baskets, and walked towards Xu Jizong's house.

The remaining candies, cakes, etc. will be prepared for New Year’s greetings after the New Year.
