Marrying Leng Libing Wang and having four children, traveling back to the 70s

Tsk, leaving Aunt Tian mumbling, she slowly opened her eyes, and then looked - embarrassed.

"This child is really scared of being locked up in the compound."

"Oh! It's been hard for such a well-behaved girl these days."

Aunt Tian put away the embarrassment on her face and talked to herself leisurely.

Little did people know that this pretty girl Su Nianxi had been going to the black market to make money every morning, rain or shine, and now she has become a wealthy woman.

"Hey kid, look at my cabbages. Look, the cabbages at Auntie's house have all white stalks and green leaves. They taste the best and have the best texture. Would you like two, kid?"

The lady selling cabbages called out to Su Nianxi who was standing beside her stall, looking around.

"The cabbage stalks are all white! Well, this cabbage has grown well and looks to have the right amount of moisture. The leaves are green, indicating that the cabbage leaves are young and nutritious."

"Wow, this color of Chinese cabbage makes it crispier and more tender when cooked, making it a truly delicious addition to any family dinner table."

Su Nianxi, with the pockmarked face, turned around and stared at the two baskets of cabbage. His slender eyebrows were twisted into two hemp ropes, and his elastic and smooth face was wrinkled into an ugly orange. He crossed his chest with his left hand, touched his chin with his right hand, and muttered to himself in deep thought.

Well, Su Nianxi, who loves food in the 21st century, does have some knowledge about vegetables.

"Delicious food is delicious, but I don't want to buy cabbage. I just want to buy a courtyard house! Auntie..." Su Nianxi muttered secretly in his heart while touching Hua Xi's chin.

Aunt Feng, who was selling cabbages, looked at Su Nianxi in confusion as her face was wrinkled into an ugly orange and she stared at the cabbages in the basket without saying a word.

Uh, Aunt Feng, I just don’t understand this girl at all.

"Oh! What should I do? I'm unfamiliar with the place, and Beijing in the 21s didn't have the powerful real estate agents of the st century. Where can I find a siheyuan for sale right now?"

"Brainburning——"

Su Nianxi, with her pockmarked face, was so anxious that her red lips pursed into a pufferfish-like mouth, and she began to mutter to herself again.

"Auntie Feng, why are you still selling cabbages here? Aren't you supposed to follow your wealthy eldest son down south to settle down and enjoy a peaceful life?"

"Oh, right, Aunt Feng, didn't you say you were leaving in the next two days?"

Before Su Nianxi could answer Aunt Feng who was selling cabbages, two of Aunt Feng's regular customers came over and started chatting with the simple Aunt Feng about their family matters.

"Oh, don't mention it. Three months ago, Aunt Chen's nephew came to see our courtyard house. He was very fond of it. Aunt Sun's nephew persuaded our Beizi to sell the courtyard house to him."

"Well, he's worried that my Beizi might change his mind and not sell it to him. On the 15th of last month, he even had Aunt Chen bring three pounds of eggs to our house and told us to wait a few more days. He said he'd come to Beijing on the 15th of this month to pay the money and complete the transfer procedures."

Aunt Feng, who was selling cabbages, simply stopped shouting and stopped doing business. She held a cabbage weighing three or four pounds against her chest and started pulling at its length.

"Wow, Aunt Feng, it's almost December now!" An older sister with a rougher look asked in a low voice.

"Who said it wasn't true? It's been postponed for more than ten days, and Aunt Chen's nephew still hasn't given a definite answer. When I asked Aunt Chen what was going on, she just hemmed and hawed and couldn't explain it clearly."

"My business in the south of Beizai couldn't be delayed any longer, so luckily I went there first."

"The day before yesterday, I bought three pounds of eggs and gave them back to Aunt Chen. She said she wouldn't wait for her nephew and would continue looking for another buyer."

"Oh, it's also my fault for being such a mouthy old woman. My son Beizi originally said that a friend had introduced someone to buy it, but I kept trying to persuade him that if he wanted to sell it, he should sell it to his neighbor Aunt Chen's nephew first. That's why it was delayed."

……

Aunt Feng kept talking, cursing, and complaining.

"Okay, Aunt Feng, we'll keep an eye out for you and spread the word. We'll let you go with your filial son Beizi to the south where it's spring all year round to enjoy a peaceful life." The auntie who was about 1.54 meters tall said in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, we will help you pay attention and promote it." Another rougher older sister also echoed.

"That's great. Thank you both." Aunt Feng, who was selling cabbages, said gratefully.

"Come, Aunt Feng, give me three cabbages." The aunt, who was about 1.54 meters tall, continued.

"Me too, four trees please." The rougher older sister echoed again.

"Okay, I'll pick the best ones for you now--" Aunt Feng, who sells cabbages, said with a smile.

***

After a while, only two cabbages were left in Aunt Feng's two baskets, lying round in the baskets.

Meanwhile, Su Nianxi stood there silently.

Aunt Feng looked up at Su Nianxi, whose face was covered with pockmarks.

"Hehehe..."

Seeing that Aunt Feng, who was selling cabbages, finally had time to pay attention to her, Su Nianxi showed her neat and white teeth to Aunt Feng and chuckled politely.

“Ouch—”

"This kid? Stupid?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Look at what this girl is wearing—"

"But this——"

"Have you been standing by this stall for too long? And you haven't said a word yet? How stupid is that?"

"Silly boy, are you trying to rob me, an old woman, of the money I make from selling vegetables?"

The more Aunt Feng thought about it, the more crooked she became, and the more frightened she became, with her facial expressions changing constantly. Aunt Feng was like a frightened horse, and she instantly tightened her purse in her hand, as if someone was trying to rob her.

Su Nianxi: “…”

"The expressions on this lady's face are quite rich, aren't they?"

"There's this move?"

"Why do you treat me like..."

As perceptive as Su Nianxi was, she immediately noticed that the cabbage selling lady was highly wary of her.

"Well, that, Auntie, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not what you think." Seeing Auntie Feng's expression, Su Nianxi hurriedly explained.

"Not what I thought?"

"Baby, you're not stupid?"

"You've been standing there for so long without saying a word. You've made me, an old lady, feel scared."

Aunt Feng explained hurriedly.

"I'm sorry, Auntie. At first, I was distracted by the big, plump cabbages in your basket."

"Then the two aunts came over and had a long conversation with you. I was too slow to get a word in, but I was deeply interested in what you were talking about."

"To be honest, I've been looking for a siheyuan these days. I want to buy one in Beijing. I just heard you and the others talking about siheyuans, so I just stood here silently listening and waiting for you."
