Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

Chapter 3 Preparations Before Going to the Countryside (1)

“I can’t not go. There are a lot of people watching me right now. They’re all waiting for me to make a mistake. If I make a mistake, then my position… our whole family… not only will Nannan go, but Guokang will also go next year.”

"I'll say this," Shang's father sighed.

"Then let's go. We'll just give you extra subsidies," Mrs. Shang said, making up her mind.

"But don't worry, our daughter is a lucky child. Have you forgotten what that monk said when she was little?" Father Shang comforted Mother Shang.

When Shang Yanfang was three years old, she still spoke slowly.

He does things at a slower pace than most people.

Just when her family was worried, an old monk passed by her door and asked them for a bowl of water.

Grandma Shang immediately led the people into her home.

Upon seeing Shang Yanfang, the old monk remarked, "Is this girl rather slow-witted? I observe that she is missing one of her three souls."

"Abbot! What should we do? My granddaughter is still so young."

"Take good care of the child these next few years, and once she comes of age, her soul will naturally return to its rightful place. After that, she will have a smooth and prosperous life."

After hearing the old monk's words, Grandma Shang was immediately stunned.

After sensing that her grandmother was in a daze, Xiao Shang Yanfang gently patted her grandmother's back with her little hands.

Seeing her granddaughter's adorable antics, Grandma Shang made up her mind: she must raise her granddaughter well and not let anyone bully her.

When Shang Yanfang recalled her childhood, Shang's mother was stunned for a long time.

"Old Shang, do you mean that this time our daughter might be experiencing a blessing rather than a curse?"

"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided."

"It is profound and unfathomable," said the old man.

"Go to sleep! Don't think so much."

After comforting Shang's mother, the two prepared to go to sleep.

Early the next morning,

After waking Shang Yanfang up, Shang's mother went to cook.

After washing up, Shang Yanfang went to the kitchen to learn how to cook.

In her past life, she knew how to cook, but in this life, Shang Yanfang doesn't.

So she still needs to learn.

"My dear daughter! You should learn to cook porridge first! Cooking porridge is the simplest thing," said Madam Shang.

"Okay, Mother," Shang Yanfang said, her voice still slightly tinged with excitement.

"My dear, I've taken the day off today. I'll go with you to buy some things you'll need for our trip to the countryside."

"Okay, Mom, where am I going to be sent to the countryside?" Shang Yanfang asked curiously.

“My dear, where in Northeast China do you want to go to work in the countryside? There’s plenty of food there, and you don’t have to work every day.”

When the ground freezes in winter, there's no need to work.

The battalion commander there was your dad's comrade-in-arms.

"However, it's quite far from our home. It takes two days and one night by train."

"Take less luggage with you, I'll send the rest back to you." Shang's mother nagged at her daughter who cooked as if it were child's play.

Breakfast was prepared with Shang's mother's nagging and Shang Yanfang's help.

"Mom, I'll go call them, I'll go call them." Shang Yanfang said as she ran out of the kitchen.

She was really afraid that her mother would recite the mantra to tighten the headband to her again.

Shang Yanfang fled the kitchen as fast as she could to call her second brother.

As for Shang's father, he had already returned from his morning run.

Shang Yanyan also woke up when she heard the call.

Soon, all six members of the family had arrived.

Breakfast was simple: a bowl of porridge and a pancake for each person, along with a small dish of pickled vegetables.

After breakfast, those who needed to go to work went to work, and those who needed to go to school went to school.

Only Shang's mother and Shang Yanfang remained at home.

Help Shang's mother clean up the kitchen.

The two decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the things they needed in the countryside.

Upon arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, the two went straight to Shang Guoqiang's office.

The office of the director of the supply and marketing cooperative

"Second son, your sister is going to the countryside. This piece of paper contains things that your sister needs. Please prepare them for her." Mrs. Shang said to Shang Yanfang with great reluctance.

As she spoke, Fashion Mother handed a shopping list to Second Brother Shang.

Shang Erge saw a long shopping list, which included everything from food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

"Okay, Mom, I'll bring the things home when I get off work today," Second Brother Shang assured him.

"Alright, then you get ready! I'll take your sister to the mall to buy some other things." Seeing that her second son had agreed to get things for her, Shang's mother said.

As she spoke, Shang's mother hurriedly led Shang Yanfang out.

Upon arriving at the mall, Shang's mother took Shang Yanfang directly to the third floor, where the four major household items were sold.

Back then, the four essential items were: a watch, a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a tape recorder.

“My dear girl! Your sister bought her a watch when she was working. Now that you’re going to the countryside, I’ll buy you one too, so you can keep track of the time when you’re there.”

As she spoke, Shang's mother pointed to the watches on the counter and said, "My dear, choose a watch that you like."

Shang Yanfang looked at the various watches on the counter. She chose a silver watch with a thin strap.

Even from her perspective in her previous life, she found the watch to be very fashionable.

Seeing that Shang Yanfang had finished choosing, Shang's mother immediately took out money and a ticket and gave them to the sales clerk.

This surprised Shang Yanfang.

The watch costs 180 yuan and a watch ticket.

In her past life, the watch she bought only cost a little over fifty yuan. But upon closer reflection, she realized that the watch she bought in her past life broke down in less than six months.

According to the original owner's memories, the watch she bought this time should last for about ten years.

After buying the watch, she was taken by Shang's mother to buy two ready-made clothes.

The two of them wandered around and bought a lot of things.

They went home with their spoils.

I got home after dinnertime.

Shang's mother simply cooked two bowls of noodles.

After finishing their meal, the two rested for a while.

"Mother, Mother, please save your son! I'm exhausted!" Shang Erge's wailing voice came through the room.

Upon hearing her second brother's voice, Shang Yanfang, remembering that everything had been prepared for her, went out to meet him.

The Shang family lived in a two-story building. There were many rooms, but they all preferred to sleep with their brothers and sisters and didn't have their own rooms.

Seeing that the children in the family were close, the parents were happy to let them sleep alone.

When he ran from the second floor to the first floor to pick up his second brother.

My second brother has arrived at the door.

The second brother didn't break a sweat at all, and remained as roguish and handsome as ever.

When Shang Guoqiang saw his younger sister come to pick him up, he immediately said, "Sister! Open the door for me."

His hands were completely full. He was worried he wouldn't be able to open the door when his little sister appeared in front of him, bouncing and skipping.
