Xiaomeng logged onto an organic food sales website in Beijing—basically, a grocery store—that the manager of her regular jewelry store had recommended. The manager said the organic food company there sold high-quality, expensive produce, and that many wealthy people bought their groceries there.

After logging in, Xiaomeng didn't even look at the prices and just started clicking around.

Ten pounds of imported New Zealand beef, please.

I need one organically raised free-range chicken.

Five pounds of pork to accompany the vegetables.

Five pounds each of organic radishes, cabbage, broccoli, and tomatoes. To keep them fresh, it's best to buy more only after you've finished eating them.

I bought 2 jin each of bok choy and lettuce. My sister is from the south, and she can't eat without green vegetables every day, so I have to buy leafy greens.

Finally, there's rice, which is the staple food.

I won't buy Wuchang rice; it's too conspicuous. My sister will nag me for wasting it. I'll just buy some long-grain fragrant rice instead; it's less than 10 yuan per jin (500g). We eat rice a lot at home, so I'll just stock up on 20 jin (10kg), which should last for about a week.

Buy one bag each of dried noodles and vermicelli.

I also bought a kilogram of flour, because Aunt Fang likes to make her own noodles and other pasta dishes.

Buy one 5-liter bottle each of peanut oil and olive oil. ...

In short, I bought a lot of grains, oils, rice, noodles, vegetables, and fruits, spending a total of over 20,000 yuan. The online store arranged for delivery personnel to carry all the purchased items to my home.

Xiaomeng felt relieved after replenishing the family's rice, flour, and cooking oil supplies. However, she worried that she might not be able to replenish some other daily necessities in time. Her sister was currently unemployed and probably short of money.

So she withdrew all the five or six thousand yuan in royalties from her social media account and transferred it to her sister's bank account.

The message told the sister that if there was anything she urgently needed to buy, she could go and buy it herself.

"What's wrong with Xiaomeng? Why did you suddenly transfer so much money to me? You don't need to send me any more money, I still have savings in my account." Her sister quickly replied to her message.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought that the cost of living in the capital is relatively high, and I was worried that you were being too frugal and that Dou Dou would feel wronged."

Consider this money a loan; you can pay me back when you earn money later.

"Then you don't need to give that much. One or two thousand is enough. We don't lack anything at home. We just need to buy some groceries. We don't need much at all."

"It's alright, here you go, just take it. By the way, if it gets too cold, take out the down jacket from your closet and wear it. Winters in Beijing are really cold, we southerners have to be extra careful."

"Okay, I know everything. I've seen all the clothes in the closet."

"Why did you buy so many clothes for DouDou? How can she possibly wear all of them?" CuiLing asked reproachfully.

Xiaomeng was a little embarrassed, haha, she dared not tell the truth. She was completely captivated by those cute little clothes and accidentally bought too many.

"It's nothing, I just bought a few things that I thought looked good."

Children play on the floor and get dirty, so you need to change their clothes. Therefore, you need to buy several different clothes.

"By the way, houses in the north still have heating in winter. Let me know in advance when the heating fees are due." Xiaomeng said a few more words to her sister before hanging up.

Sigh, if it weren't for the fact that the system's task funds could only be used for consumption and not transferred to others, Xiaomeng would have already transferred 10 or 20 yuan to her sister's card so she could spend it without worry.

Xiaomeng currently has over 6 yuan in cash, but it's not deposited in the bank; it's just stored in the system's storage space, so she can't transfer the money there.

……

"Xiaomeng, are you free today? I'm planning to invite some friends to Guangzhou Amusement Park. Do you want to come along?" Tang Yulun, a new friend, sent Xiaomeng a voice message.

Tang Yulun is a fun-loving college student who acts like a child. Xiaomeng finds it interesting to listen to him talk. Plus, he comes from a good family and is knowledgeable, so Xiaomeng is willing to treat him as a close friend and hang out with him.

Xiaomeng has never been to an amusement park before, so this is a good opportunity for her to check it out.

Thinking about how I haven't finished my work tasks for today, and I've only spent a little over 50,000...

Okay, let's go have some fun first. If we're not done by the afternoon, we'll just randomly pop into a jewelry store, hehe.
