In my 40s, the trading system took me flying

The situation in Hai City is much worse than that in the city where Xu Xiaoya lives.

This is the seaside and there is a port. The Japanese will definitely not let it go, so there will be a lot of patrols and checks here.

Xu Xiaoya went out with Comrade Xiao Zhao and Old Lady Xu. Fortunately, they were all women, and Old Lady Xu and Comrade Xiao Zhao disguised themselves well. Even though Xu Xiaoya looked too blessed, her face looked sallow and sickly after being wiped with something by Xiao Zhao, so no one paid much attention to them.

In order to let Xu Xiaoya remember the layout of the city, Xiao Zhao took Xu Xiaoya around in a planned way. If Xu Xiaoya was tired, they would call a rickshaw and take a slow ride.

Xu Xiaoya always has snacks in her hands, and Xiao Zhao also likes Xu Xiaoya so much that he wants to give her all the snacks he sees.

This is a coastal city, and what it has the most is all kinds of seafood, so there are many snacks made from seafood, such as dried fish, grilled dried fish, etc.

And because the price is cheap, Xiao Zhao can afford it.

Old Mrs. Xu also bought some and put them in her backpack. She also asked Xu Xiaoya to remember where to buy what. They planned not to go out with Xiao Zhao the next day and do some big shopping.

After a day, Xu Xiaoya was exhausted.

After returning to her residence, Xu Xiaoya fell asleep.

Old Mrs. Xu felt very distressed. She also thought that Xu Xiaoya was really working hard to record. Little did she know that Xu Xiaoya was simply full and tired, so she left all the recording to the system.

After a nap, it was already dark. Old Mrs. Xu thought she could sleep all night, but Xu Xiaoya reminded her: "Grandma, there is no place to put the milk. We need to get some wooden barrels to put it in!"

It turned out that the cow in the space had engorged its milk supply, and the system reminded her, so Xu Xiaoya had to get up.

Now that she was up, she couldn't fall asleep, so she simply started to depict all the places that were lit up by the system.

This time, Xiao Zhao and Lao Wang were watching from the side.

Since they couldn't see the system, they naturally couldn't see the lines projected by the system on the white paper. Xu Xiaoya only needed to draw according to the lines. However, because she was not a professional cartographer, Lao Wang and Xiao Zhao frowned every time she put pen to paper.

Later, other people came back and gathered around to observe.

The result is predictable, just like a foreigner writing Chinese characters, you never know where his next stroke will be.

Xu Xiaoya was fine. She just wanted to draw the picture and naturally didn't worry about the adults' doubts.

After she flicked her wrist, she looked up at Comrade Lao Wang.

"Uncle Wang, I'm done!"

Xiao Zhao beside him nodded: "She has drawn it all. She has drawn all the streets we walked on today, and even marked the shops on them!"

Lao Wang looked at the words on it and said, "Little girl, do you recognize all these words?"

Xu Xiaoya shook her head decisively. She was just a child and shouldn't be too rebellious.

"I just had their shop signs in my mind, and I drew them exactly as they were. I can read, but not many!"

Taking traditional Chinese characters alone, Xu Xiaoya does need time to adapt. It is true that she recognizes some of them, but there are still many that she does not recognize.

Old Lady Xu nodded beside her: "There is an old man in our village who opened a school, but this girl never goes to class properly and only skips classes!"

Comrade Lao Wang sighed: "She's still too young. Xiaoya is a good child. We can't delay her. How about this, we arrange for someone to teach her!"

Xu Xiaoya was shocked and her face changed.

She wanted to study every day in her previous life and studied so much that she vomited. So in this life, she wanted to release her nature and just play. Now she has to arrange one-on-one tutoring. It would be strange if Xu Xiaoya was not anxious.

"Uncle Wang, I'm still a child. You can't treat me like this!"

Xu Xiaoya protested, but the old lady Xu who always doted on her patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's such a good thing, and you don't even want to cooperate!"

Xu Xiaoya stared.

Studying was too painful and she didn't want to recall it.

"Grandma, you don't love me anymore!"

Old Lady Xu ignored Xu Xiaoya and turned to Old Wang, smiling, "I've spoiled this child too much. If we were to find a husband for her, could we find someone with a gentle temper? She's very naughty. What if she irritates the husband and causes him to do something bad?"

Old Wang smiled. If he could leave here, he would have gone to Huaishu Village to take Xu Xiaoya with him personally.

"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely arrange everything!"

After comforting Old Mrs. Xu, Old Wang asked Xu Xiaoya to have a good rest. The next day, they would take Xu Xiaoya to some important places.

Xu Xiaoya ignored Lao Wang's arrangements and stared at Old Lady Xu: "Grandma, you can't abuse me like this, I'm your granddaughter!"

Old Lady Xu closed the door, extinguished the oil lamp, and asked her to take her to the space. Then she scolded her: "You child, you said you have such a treasure and can exchange it with the ancestors. If you are not smart enough, who will be able to help you after I die?"

Xu Xiaoya: ...

She didn't want to hear that.

Until now, Xu Xiaoya has taken a casual attitude towards everyone here, but she has really invested a lot of feelings in Old Lady Xu and truly believes that Old Lady Xu is 100% good to her.

Old Lady Xu hugged Xu Xiaoya and said, "Silly child, grandma is old. How many more years can I stay with you? When you grow up, all these treasures of yours will become prey to others if you don't have the ability to protect them. They can do whatever they want to you."

Old Mrs. Xu was thinking only of Xu Xiaoya, and Xu Xiaoya would understand that.

Her rejection of learning was a result of her disgust for the torture she suffered under the exam-oriented education in her previous life, but the things that Old Lady Xu asked her to learn were all practical and could save her life, so she was indeed overreacting.

"I listen to grandma!"

Xu Xiaoya quickly adjusted herself and went to the trading system to exchange some fish and shrimp for some large buckets. She asked Old Lady Xu to milk the cows while she began to try to find a gas tank and a gas stove, preparing to buy a set of kitchen utensils in the space.

In the future, you can cook in the space, and the milk can be boiled in the space. The excess can also be made into dairy products, whether it is tofu, yogurt, or butter, nothing can be wasted.

Fortunately, I was lucky enough to find a set of kitchen utensils, which I exchanged for a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Although they are not equal, Xu Xiaoya still likes him.

Xu Xiaoya taught Old Lady Xu how to use the gas stove. Old Lady Xu sighed, "There's such a wonderful thing in the world! Won't we no longer have to burn firewood?"

It’s a pity that I can’t take it out and can only use it in space.

Xu Xiaoya wanted to tell Old Lady Xu that in the future, every household would be able to use these things, but she didn't dare to say it. She could only say, "Once the Japanese are driven away, we'll build a factory and produce these things. Let Uncle Niu make the kitchen utensils, and I'll sell them!"
