Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

With scarce supplies and a family of four who were all pampered, they were reluctant to put down their dignity and squeeze in with others. Therefore, in order to maintain the rent of the house, they could only work as hard as they could.

So far, among the four members of this family, except for Xu Jiaojiao, who has the ability of space and can go out to work and earn money, the other three have no special abilities.

Zuo Chun's situation is relatively good. After all, he comes from a rural background. Although he has been pampered for so many years, he can still do some basic work.

Xu Xiu couldn't stand it. Ever since she hooked up with Zuo Chun, she never did anything herself and even left all the housework to the housekeeper.

Asking her to go out to work now, or do basic physical work, is absolutely impossible!

Therefore, Xu Xiu’s explanation was that since a family lives here, they must find someone to take charge of all the housework, otherwise the others will not be able to go out without worry.

As for Xu Jiaojiao's younger brother Zuo Hanyun, he is still young and can only stay at home. It's good enough if he doesn't make trouble.

So the burden of the whole family fell on Xu Jiaojiao alone. Although she had known about this matter before, Zuo Zhizhi still felt a little angry when she actually saw it.

Xu Jiaojiao's ability is not too outstanding, it's just an ordinary space. When other people need to go out to collect supplies, they will invite people with space abilities to follow them, so that they can bring back as many supplies as possible.

But for Xu Jiaojiao, she is extremely picky when choosing a team.

If the captain is ugly, don’t choose him. If the captain is incompetent, don’t choose him. If the captain’s level is low, don’t choose him.

Neither this nor that, Xu Jiaojiao was trapped outside alone, and could only occasionally join other people's teams in exchange for a crystal core life.

But Xu Jiaojiao was reluctant to really take a step back and join those teams with poorer qualifications.

After all, in her heart, her life shouldn't be like this. Even if she is not a pampered young lady, she is definitely the protagonist who is loved by everyone. She should not be hiding her identity in those mediocre teams.

Therefore, the family can only barely survive, and this is under the premise that Xu Jiaojiao has the aura of the heroine and occasionally obtains extra supplies.

In addition, after Zhuo Yunting unified the entire Ping'an Base, he made certain adjustments to the income of each team in the Ping'an Base. Therefore, they could no longer maintain their previous dignity and rent that three-bedroom, one-living-room house.

The family has moved to a slightly worse house, but even in this case, they chose a slightly smaller two-bedroom, one-living room house.

Because Xu Jiaojiao's situation was well-known in the base, it didn't take Zuo Zhizhi long to learn about it.

But after listening to it, I couldn't help but shake my head, "This family is really a match made in heaven!"

As children, it is not easy to talk directly to our elders about their problems, but some things will not disappear if we don’t say them!

Zuo Chun was originally a Phoenix man. He chose to marry Tan Wanqing for a better living condition, but he could not let go of his inner pride and secretly supported Xu Xiu.

From this we can see that what Zuo Chun wants is a good life, and love and family affection come after that.

Xu Xiu was even simpler, a completely vain person. To obtain a better life, she would rather bear the stigma of being a mistress and her child the stigma of being an illegitimate child.

All the wealth was reshuffled before the end of the world, and the two people had no special skills, so they placed all their hopes on Xu Jiaojiao.

If it weren't for Zuo Chun and Xu Xiu's repeated conversations, Xu Jiaojiao might still have chosen another team and lived a normal life.

After checking their family's information, Zuo Zhizhi didn't think about getting to know them. After all, the scene of Xu Jiaojiao's sarcasm towards her was still fresh in her mind, so she naturally couldn't go up and make herself miserable.

However, Zuo Zhizhi did not take the initiative to look for him, but fate made them meet.

Because many people from the base have come here recently, the streets are more lively, and Zuo Zhizhi will also go to look for what she wants.

After all, I will travel to the next world, so I can exchange food and other things that I don’t really need for jewelry, handicrafts and calligraphy and paintings.

It was under such circumstances that she and Xu Jiaojiao met unexpectedly.

Seeing Zuo Zhizhi's brief moment of daze, Xu Jiaojiao took the initiative to step forward and greet her, "Sister, I didn't expect you to be here? We've been looking for you for a long time, but there's no news of you at all. Where have you been?"

Zuo Zhizhi was startled by Xu Jiaojiao's sudden question. After turning around and seeing it was her, she forced a smile and said, "I was out before and just came to Ping'an Base recently!"

Xu Jiaojiao was originally in a bad mood. Seeing Zuo Zhizhi wearing half-new clothes and walking around the street for a long time without anything in her hands, she immediately concluded that she was not living a happy life.

Adhering to the principle that if others are not doing well, I will be doing well, I quickly said loudly, "Sister, if you are not doing well, come to our house. Don't worry, I am here at home!"

Zuo Zhizhi looked at Xu Jiaojiao with interest. Seeing that she was trying to save face, she couldn't help but tease her, "Oh, that's great. After all, the place I'm renting now is very expensive, and I'm afraid I won't be able to live here for long!"

Xu Jiaojiao's face froze. She hadn't expected that Zuo Zhizhi, who had always been at odds with her, would actually climb up the pole. Shouldn't she be very angry and push her away and yell, "I don't need your things"?

Now that the other party had taken the initiative to speak, she didn't know what to say, so she could only continue, "It's a pity that our family is squeezed into a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment now. Don't worry, when I find a better job, I will definitely move to a bigger house and take you in to live with me!"

Hearing her say this, Zuo Zhizhi nodded naturally, "Then it's settled. I live nearby. When you move to a bigger house, you must take me over!"

When Xu Jiaojiao heard this, even if she had some doubts before, they had disappeared without a trace. She just wanted to get rid of Zuo Zhizhi as quickly as possible, so she chose to leave on the pretext of having something to do.

Zuo Zhizhi looked at Xu Jiaojiao's fleeing back and couldn't help but smile, then continued to look for what she needed on the street.

After all, it’s not a good idea to stay here all the time. She will naturally leave after the exchange meeting.

Therefore, the best way is to take this opportunity to search Ping'an Base for things that may be used later.

After all, for people in the end times, those handicrafts are dispensable, but food and vegetables are essential for everyone.

In this way, both parties in the exchange get what they need and everyone gets what they want.
