In my 40s, the trading system took me flying
Chapter 3 Is the ancestral teaching true?
Old Mrs. Xu and Old Man Xu's expressions changed drastically, and they looked at Xu Xiaoya in shock!
But reality tells them that the rumor may be true!
Can the Xu family still be saved?
After what happened in the ancestral hall, Xu Xiaoya became the treasure of everyone in the family. After many experiments, the Xu family found that Xu Xiaoya would only barter when she was on the altar.
After this situation happened several times out of nowhere, the Xu family also understood.
What Xu Xiaoya can exchange for is completely random. As for what she can exchange for, that is also random. Sometimes it is something to use, sometimes it is something to eat, but it is definitely better than the tribute they provide.
Because Xu Xiaoya couldn't communicate, Old Lady Xu told Old Young Xu about this matter: "Xiaoya is the lucky star of our family, but she can't let anything happen to her!"
Because of this, Old Mrs. Xu was worried about the youngest Xu and his wife, so she simply took her granddaughter to her side to take care of her. She really spoiled her to the utmost.
But within a week, the Xu family knew that in the Xu family, Xu Xiaoya was definitely the little ancestor!
When the whole family was eating vegetable steamed buns, Xu Xiaoya drank rice oil made from rice and ate egg custard. If she was not only one year old, all the good things in the house would probably only be given to Xu Xiaoya.
Even though Old Lady Xu was so partial, the twelve grandsons of the Xu family were not jealous. Instead, they tried to find ways to please Xu Xiaoya.
Who made them all witness Xu Xiaoya's magic?
However, Xu Xiaoya was not able to exchange for good things often, and every time she exchanged things, she would sleep for a whole day. As a result, Old Lady Xu did not allow anyone to secretly let Xu Xiaoya go to the altar to exchange things.
In the cold winter, the Xu family became much more lively because of the appearance of Xu Xiaoya.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, the snowstorm had long stopped. After the men of the Xu family had their cotton-padded clothes reinforced with the cotton from the big quilt, they all went to the city to do odd jobs.
The remaining women began to prepare New Year's goods.
Living in the mountains, there is actually no shortage of food, otherwise the men in the Xu family would not all be so tall and strong.
In the past, we had to be very frugal and send all the food we saved to the city to exchange for some daily necessities, so we could live a tight life.
In order to welcome Xu Xiaoya this year, Old Mrs. Xu expressed her wish for a good New Year and instructed her daughter-in-law to process the wild game stored at home, fry a lot of New Year's goods, and roast a lot of dried fruits.
Xu Xiaoya was lying on the kang, being fed egg custard by her mother.
A bowl of egg custard a day is Xu Xiaoya’s unique treat.
Xu Xiaoya still can't say many words. Apart from calling grandma, she speaks one word at a time. She doesn't like to cry, but loves to laugh. She will pout when she is hungry, and will remind adults when she has defecated or urinated.
She was so easy to take care of that the Xu family wives all praised her highly. They had never seen such an easy-to-take child. If she didn't like to ride on her brothers' necks from time to time, they would have thought she was not a baby.
Because the New Year was approaching, they didn't go into the mountains to hunt, and there was no work in the fields. They could only stay in the fields for the winter. The whole family would make a lot of noise when they got together, so Old Mrs. Xu told her grandsons to make Xu Xiaoya happy.
Look, from Xu Xiaoba to Xu Twelve, none of them were yet ten years old, but they came up to Xu Xiaoya and watched her eat egg custard.
If Xu Xiaoya was really a baby, she might not feel anything, but her tiny body contains the soul of an eighteen-year-old who has just reached adulthood. Although she has been loved and spoiled by her parents since she was a child, she is an only child and has no brothers or sisters. She cannot get along with this group of children.
Xu's mother is also a shy person and doesn't know what to say to her nephews.
"My dear grandson, why don't you eat anymore?"
When Old Mrs. Xu entered the room carrying a bowl of grease residue, she saw that Xu Xiaoya was not eating the egg custard as she had done in the previous few days. She thought that she was tired of eating egg custard, so she picked up a piece of the hot grease residue in her hand and handed it to Xu Xiaoya.
Xu's mother did not stop her. Xu Xiaoya had grown a lot of teeth and could eat some meat scraps.
“Does it smell good?”
Old Mrs. Xu held Xu Xiaoya in her arms. Whenever she appeared, Xu Xiaoya had to be in her arms.
Xu Xiaoya nodded.
Even though she can't talk much, she will respond to what others say, which is why the Xu family members cherish her.
"Today is Laba Festival, I'll give you some eight-treasure porridge later!"
The eight-treasure porridge had been simmering in the pot overnight and was very hot. Old Mrs. Xu was worried, so she filled a bowl and placed it on the table to cool.
Several boys couldn't help but cheer and ran to drink porridge.
Only then did Xu's mother have the opportunity to talk to Old Lady Xu.
"Mom, the little girl is always drowsy. This is not a good thing. Do you want to find a doctor to see her?"
After all, she is her only child, and Xu's mother dotes on Xu Xiaoya very much.
Old Mrs. Xu knew that her son probably had not yet told his daughter-in-law about Xu Xiaoya's peculiarity. She was very pleased with her son's tight-lippedness, but she also knew that other daughters-in-law might not know about it, but Xu's mother could not be ignorant of it.
"You come with me!"
Xu's mother carried Xu Xiaoya in her arms and took her into her own room. Ever since Xu Laoya came back with his wife, no one in the family slept on the same kang anymore.
Each son has his own room, except Xu Xiaoya, who sleeps in the main room with Old Man Xu and his wife.
Now we have entered the main house of the old couple. The temperature in the house is still very high because they heat the kang every day.
Old Mrs. Xu put Xu Xiaoya on the kang, then set up the small altar that she treated like a treasure, and placed a plate of fried meatballs on the altar.
Mother Xu didn't know what Old Lady Xu meant, but when she saw Xu Xiaoya crawling to the altar using her hands and feet, and reaching out to touch the plate on the altar, the meatballs in the plate disappeared.
Before Xu's mother could exclaim, a piece of floral cloth appeared on the plate, which made Old Mrs. Xu very happy. She hugged Xu Xiaoya and kissed her.
"My dear grandson, you're so amazing! You even got some floral fabric! I'll make you new clothes when spring comes!"
As Old Lady Xu finished speaking, Xu Xiaoya yawned and fell asleep.
Xu's mother was dumbfounded and had no idea what was going on.
Old Lady Xu obviously saw through her confusion. She placed Xu Xiaoya in the cotton quilt that was reserved for her and then explained to her mother, "Did you see? Xiaoya is not an ordinary person. You are her mother. I can't hide this from you. But if you don't want to kill her, you can't tell anyone!"
Mother Xu nodded with a pale face.
She was not an ignorant woman. On the contrary, her life experience was rather complicated. In order to survive, she concealed her identity and married Xu Laoya.
"Is she still a little girl?"
Xu's mother had never seen such a magical thing before, and she thought a lot at the first time. She looked at Xu Xiaoya who had fallen asleep, her fingers trembling and not daring to touch her, but she also asked about the fear in her heart.
Old Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes at her and said, "You gave birth to your own child, don't you know if she is real?"
This sentence woke her up. There was nothing strange about Xu Xiaoya at all. If there was anything wrong, it was that she suddenly called grandma. After returning to her hometown, she no longer had the life-and-death experience that she had in the city. Everything seemed normal.
Having said that, she looked at Old Lady Xu and said, "Grandma, how could Xiaoya..."
She couldn't say anything else, but Old Lady Xu told her: "No matter how she did it, she is still your daughter. You are her mother and you must take good care of her!"
The Xu family does not favor boys over girls. On the contrary, Xu Xiaoya is absolutely the treasure of the Xu family.
"But how can such a thing be concealed?"
This can be exchanged for things out of thin air. Although I am not sure what they are every time, they are all good things. If it is discovered by someone with ulterior motives, I don’t know how they will treat Xu Xiaoya.
Old Lady Xu snorted coldly: "Why can't you keep it secret? Every household here lives far away from each other. As long as our family doesn't say anything, no one will know!"
The world outside is in chaos nowadays. As long as they don't go out and show off, at least there will be no problem in ensuring Xu Xiaoya's safety.
After knowing why Xu Xiaoya was in a coma, Xu's mother was no longer worried about Xu Xiaoya's health, but she felt an unrelieved sorrow.
Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. With such great ability, it's no wonder that God always wants to take Xu Xiaoya's life.
Regardless of what the Xu family thought, Xu Xiaoya's condition at this time was not as bad as the Xu family guessed. On the contrary, while her body was in a coma, her soul was very excited.
Her golden finger turned out to be a trading system.
However, this system is a bit too rigid. Not only can she only exchange one item for another, but the items that can be exchanged are also very random each time. It all depends on what choice the system gives her.
Every time she put the items she wanted to trade into the system, options for items of equal value would appear in front of her, and the three highest-valued ones would be selected for Xu Xiaoya to choose from.
There is also a time limit, giving Xu Xiaoya only five seconds to choose each time, which causes her to just take a quick look and choose the thing her family needs most to trade.
For a one-year-old baby, this kind of extreme selection is very exhausting, which is why she always falls asleep.
But after summarizing her experience after several transactions, Xu Xiaoya discovered that this trading system was not random, and it really took care of her. At least the items it provided for trading were slightly higher than the items she provided.
To put it bluntly, it's like protecting a novice, at least ensuring that she can survive.
Because this trading system was too rigid, Xu Xiaoya could only see the traded items and no other information. After she got excited a few times, she tried to review the information of each transaction, hoping to find more valuable information, but unfortunately there was still too little.
After all, she only knew how to study in her previous life and lacked experience in social life, which led to her not being able to see much.
Fortunately, she was already familiar with the plot of the book and knew that the person who disliked the heroine the most was her grandmother, and that her grandmother was very wise. At least when her grandchildren got into trouble, she could still drag her old body to cause a lot of trouble to the heroine.
As for such a wise old lady, Xu Xiaoya thinks that she just needs to hold on to her grandmother and the family. At least before she grows up, she will be well protected by her grandmother and the family. She just needs to help the family live a good life.
Xu Xiaoya is content and has no sense of shame about being taken care of. On the contrary, she feels at ease being pampered by her family every day.
Half a year passed in a flash, and by the summer of the following year, Huaishu Village became lively.
The Xu family doesn't care what happens outside the mountain. They live at their own pace. At this time, they can go into the mountains to hunt and dig wild vegetables.
The men of the Xu family went to work in the fields, and the women were not idle either. They began to take apart and wash the bedding in the house, while Xu Xiaoya was taken by Xu Xiaoba and others to play in the yard.
This was the first time Xu Xiaoya went out to play after returning to the old house, and she was very excited.
Xu Xiaoba carried Xu Xiaoya on his back and didn't dare let her go to the field because the ground was too dirty. If they got Xu Xiaoya dirty, grandma would punish them.
In the past six months, Xu Xiaoya has been fed up by Old Lady Xu and has become fat and white. She has become familiar with her cousins, but she can only speak one or two words at a time.
Fortunately, everyone understands what is being expressed, just like now.
"Hit and eat!"
She pointed at the sparrows flying overhead and uttered two words clearly.
Although there was no logic, Xu Xiaoba understood it.
Xu Twelve immediately took out the slingshot in his hand, "Sister, you want to eat roasted sparrows, right? Brother Twelve will shoot sparrows for you!"
The sparrow was very small and didn't have much meat on it, but the child didn't care about that. Even if there were only pieces of meat the size of a toothpick, it was still meat.
Xu Xiaoya nodded vigorously.
Correct!
Xu Xiaoya had eaten roasted quail in her previous life, which was particularly crispy and fragrant. Now that she saw sparrows, it was okay to make do with them.
Seeing his sister's affirmative response, Xu Shier immediately got excited. He found a lot of stones on the ground and prepared to play mahjong. Xu Xiaoba next to him was speechless.
Although they all knew how to use slingshots, Xu Twelve's slingshot was just for fun. It couldn't hit any birds at all, it could only scare them.
Without waiting for Xu Xiaoba to remind him, Xu Shier had already let go of the slingshot leather. Sure enough, the stone did not hit the sparrow, but scared it away.
Xu Shier was very depressed and embarrassed in front of his sister.
But Xu Xiaoya didn't look down on him, and even said to him: "Hit him!"
Perhaps realizing that the two were just fooling around, Xu Xiaoba also joined in. Summer was here, and there was a grape vine in the yard that was full of grapes, and these sparrows couldn't be driven away at all.
So there is no need to worry about having no goals.
Xu Xiaoya doesn’t care whether she can really hit the sparrow or not, she cares about the process of playing.
Maybe it was because she studied every day in her previous life, and her mother was a super-competent person, and there was no playing time in the schedule she arranged for her. As a result, she now spends the whole day watching people playing with slingshots.
Although the children threw a lot of stones, they only hit two sparrows. They handed them to Xu's mother, who processed them and roasted them for Xu Xiaoya to eat.
The children did not wait at the kitchen door, but asked Xu Xiaoba to carry Xu Xiaoya on his back and rushed to the gate because they heard the noise of Xu Dazhui and others returning from hunting.
But this time he didn't return with prey as usual. Instead, Xu Dazhui and the others appeared at the doorstep, covered in blood and supporting each other.
Xu Xiaoya, who was lying on Xu Xiaoba's back, looked at Xu Dazhui and the others, and said something with a strange expression on her face.
