In my 40s, the trading system took me flying

"Your mother is pregnant!"

Old Mrs. Xu hugged Xu Xiaoya and brought up a topic that seemed natural to Xu Xiaoya. After all, the couple was busy every night, and if they still didn't win the bid, there would be a problem.

But because there were many children in the family, Old Mrs. Xu was not very happy.

"Xiao Ya, if your mother gave birth to a younger sister, you would be a sister. Would you be happy?"

Old Mrs. Xu was afraid that Xu Xiaoya would be unhappy, so she teased her. However, Xu Xiaoya replied, "Whether it's a brother or a sister, I'm happy!"

But these words changed when they fell into Xu's mother's ears. She thought her daughter was pretending to be an adult and felt a little sorry for her.

Originally, in her heart, she only had one daughter. Her body was injured when she gave birth to Xu Xiaoya, and she thought she would never have children again. Who would have thought that she would be pregnant again in just three years?

Not to mention how complicated Xu's mother's emotions were over there, Xu Xiaoya was only focused on one thing.

"Grandma, after the New Year, can I sleep in a room by myself?"

She wanted to have her own independent space so that she could do things that were inconvenient to tell others, but this proposal was rejected.

"No, you're still young. Although our village is relatively safe, wild raccoons sometimes sneak into the house. What if you're caught by a wild raccoon?"

Xu Xiaoya: ...

Forgot the dangers in the mountains.

"Besides, you live with grandma, and she can help cover for you!"

The grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other, and finally Xu Xiaoya gave up her request for free space.

As usual, the Xu family prepared a lot of delicious food on New Year's Eve, and also made a lot of dumplings, with the main goal of eating their fill.

No one uses a shovel on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Many dishes are prepared the day before, and the dough vat remains untouched until the sixth day, so the family steams a lot of steamed buns and wowotou, as well as dumplings.

Xu Xiaoya and her brothers were burning bamboo in the yard. The burning bamboo made crackling sounds and could be considered as firecrackers. The custom of driving away the Nian beast could not be forgotten.

Old Mrs. Xu was in a good mood watching the children playing. She also distributed some delicious snacks to her daughters-in-law so that they could fill their stomachs when they were hungry at night.

Although people had to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year, not everyone was needed. After all, the old couple Xu were old, so they went to bed early holding Xu Xiaoya, and the remaining four brothers kept watch.

Old Mrs. Xu took out a handful of copper coins and stuffed them under Xu Xiaoya's pillow.

"With this lucky money, our darling grandson will be able to grow up healthy, safe and happy!"

Xu Xiaoya nodded and insisted on stuffing a copper coin under the pillows of Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu.

"Grandpa and grandma also want peace and joy!"

The New Year ends in a cheerful mood.

The next day, the villagers in the village greeted each other and it was quite lively. The men gathered together to chat and drink, and the women also had family matters to talk about. The children were finally not beaten and could play however they wanted.

This also made Xu Xiaoya, who had no good impression of the Chinese New Year, understand that not everyone is like her in her previous life, where there is only a family of three and no relatives visiting. Even if they go out, except for traveling, there seems to be no feeling of celebrating the Chinese New Year.

In Huaishu Village, although poor, everyone is happy.

This kind of happiness cannot be bought with money, and Xu Xiaoya cherishes this feeling very much.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, children all receive lucky money. Although it is only a copper coin, no one is unhappy.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, a married girl has to go back to her parents' home. She doesn't go back on her own initiative, but her brothers from her parents' home must come to invite her aunt, who brings gifts to support her aunt.

The daughters-in-law of the Xu family are all girls from villages outside the mountain. On the second day of the New Year, many people came to the village entrance to pick up the aunts from the family. Even the eldest uncle came and said he wanted to take Old Mrs. Xu back to her parents' home.

Old Mrs. Xu was particularly happy. At her age, being able to visit her parents' home was a kind of happiness.

Because Xu's mother's home was too far away, she did not leave, so Xu's father stayed at home with her to take care of the pregnancy. Since she was already pregnant, she couldn't run around at all.

Xu Xiaoya was taken away by Xu's mother, and she was reluctant to part with Xu Xiaoya.

The eldest uncle came over leading a donkey. Xu Xiaoya and Old Lady Xu sat on the donkey's back. The eldest uncle was holding the rope in front and talking to Old Lady Xu.

They talked about daily things, and no one talked about unhappy things during the New Year.

When she arrived at her uncle's house, Xu Xiaoya became excited and went out to play with Li Goudan.

"Little sister, do you still remember that poor little thing?"

Li Goudan took Xu Xiaoya to play with the neighboring children at the gate of the yard.

Xu Xiaoya nodded. Of course she remembered. She even gave the other person three pieces of candy.

"The madman who beat up the poor little one is dead. They say the poor little one killed him!"

Xu Xiaoya was shocked.

That poor kid wasn't that old, how could he have killed an adult? Even if the adult was drunk, it's unlikely.

"Really? My grandma said it's better for that lunatic to die, so he doesn't have to live like a degenerate. But that poor little kid is so miserable. He was kicked out by the lunatic's family, and I don't know what's happening to him now. They say he's dead!"

Children are children who can empathize, especially the poor little ones who are so miserable.

Xu Xiaoya knew that she could not help the poor little thing, and that the poor little thing might have died, but she always felt uncomfortable, so she dragged Li Goudan to the broken haystack where the poor little thing often hid.

Everyone thought they would not see him as he had been missing for a long time. As a result, Xu Xiaoya saw a corner of the haystack move, and her intuition told her that there was something there.

Most likely, he's just a poor little guy.

Xu Xiaoya was about to pick up the weeds with a stick, but Li Goudan stopped her: "Sister, don't move. What if it's a snake?"

Xu Xiaoya was speechless: "It's winter, snakes won't come out!"

Li Goudan scratched his head. He felt a little embarrassed. How could he have forgotten about this?

Xu Xiaoya pulled away the weeds and saw the poor little thing.

"He's not dead, is he?"

Li Goudan was very scared, but Xu Xiaoya said, "No, he just moved a little and went to call the adults!"

Since the person is still alive, it is not good to watch him die without helping him, but Li Goudan reminded Xu Xiaoya: "Sister, you can't call the adults, the adults won't care about him!"

Food prices are rising sharply now, and no one is well off. One more person means one more mouth to feed. Who would be willing to do that?

Xu Xiaoya squatted down and patted the poor little guy. Maybe because there was no drunkard to beat him, the injuries on the poor little guy's body had mostly recovered, but he looked even thinner.

The poor little guy was indeed not unconscious. He struggled to get up, looking at Xu Xiaoya without saying a word.

"Here, eat it. This is a New Year's gift. You have to return the favor when you grow up!"

Xu Xiaoya took out snacks and candies from the small backpack that Old Lady Xu had sewn for her and piled them in front of the poor little thing.

As if afraid that the child would have too strong a sense of self-esteem, he told him that he had to pay it back.

"My name is Xu Xiaoya, and I'm from Huaishu Village. You can't forget me when you grow up!"

Xu Xiaoya stood up after she finished speaking, and was about to leave with Li Goudan, when she heard a pitiful little voice behind her: "Zhou Linchao!"

Zhou Linchao?

Xu Xiaoya turned around and looked at him: "Is that your name?"

Zhou Linchao nodded.

"My name is Zhou Linchao! Chao, which means surpassing everything!"

It was the first time Xu Xiaoya heard someone introduce herself in this way, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, Zhou Linchao, I'll remember you! Remember to stay alive so you can return the favor!"

This time Xu Xiaoya really left, but she didn't take it too seriously. The most difficult thing was to survive, not to mention that she was an orphan.

Zhou Linchao held the snack and watched Xu Xiaoya and Li Goudan disappear from his sight.

He didn't know if he could survive, but he knew that if it weren't for Xu Xiaoya's kindness, he might have died.

He must repay this favor.

Xu Xiaoya asked Li Goudan not to tell Old Lady Xu about this matter, for fear that Old Lady Xu would think too much.

The visit to relatives was only in the morning, and they had to go home in the afternoon. It was still the uncle who sent Old Mrs. Xu and Xu Xiaoya back.

On the way back, the uncle asked Old Lady Xu to take Li Goudan with her. "Sister, I won't say anything else to you. Goudan is our family's only child. If anything happens to him, our family will be extinct. Your village is deep in the mountains, it's safer!"

Old Lady Xu felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but she also knew what her brother meant. She didn't refuse, but simply said, "Goudan, come back with me. I'll treat you like my own grandson. Don't worry, brother!"

Li Goudan had no objection to living in Huaishu Village. As he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, a sharp sound suddenly appeared in the sky.

This voice was one that Old Lady Xu and the others had never heard before. They all looked over, but Xu Xiaoya's face changed drastically.

Ever since she knew the time period of reincarnation, she has been worried about this matter. In addition, everything has been very chaotic recently. Although she had guessed that the current situation would occur, she still found it difficult to accept when it really happened.

"Grandma, Grandpa is hiding!"

Xu Xiaoya screamed sharply, her face pale.

Old Mrs. Xu always believed in Xu Xiaoya's words, so she didn't hesitate at all. She pulled her uncle and hid behind a haystack.

With the cover of the haystack, at least no one would see them, mainly from above.

Xu Xiaoya picked up some weeds and threw them on herself, and also pulled some onto Old Lady Xu and the others.

The uncle asked in confusion: "Xiao Ya, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Xiaoya pointed to the sky and said, "That's a bad guy!"

She couldn't explain what it was, but anyone familiar with history knew that it was a bad thing. It brought not only the sun pattern on its body, but also bombs.

I don’t know why this plane appeared here, but one thing is certain, it must be in trouble somewhere.

My uncle still couldn’t understand it. The alarm sound was too special. Why did it sound like a whistle?

I stretched my neck to see clearly, but saw something suddenly fall from the plane.

"Oh my! Something even fell off! That big bird is not a good thing!"

The uncle also commented that Xu Xiaoya's face was pale. Fortunately, the place where the thing fell was far away from Xu Xiaoya, at least it would not affect them. But when Xu Xiaoya saw that the place where the thing fell was a village at the foot of the mountain, she threw herself into the arms of Old Lady Xu.

"boom!!!!"

A loud explosion drowned out my uncle's voice and also destroyed the relaxed expression on his face.
