After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

After hearing the affirmative answer, Ruolan nodded gently to indicate her understanding.

Then, she asked curiously, "I overheard you say a few things, and it seems like you mostly bought cloth and food. Didn't you buy anything else?"

Shui Sheng responded, "At present, food and cloth can be preserved for a relatively long time, so I have given priority to these two items."

"As for other items, we can add them later."

In fact, he knew very well that there were still two years before the famine occurred, and he had plenty of time to prepare. His most important task at the moment was to make money as much as possible!

Using that magical space, he cleverly traded various goods back and forth, successfully earning a small sum of money.

In order to achieve his goal of making money, he really went to any lengths and tried every possible method.

The purpose of working so hard to earn money is only one thing—to buy as much food as possible.

Recently, due to the implementation of the rationing system, food has become scarce and can only be purchased in fixed quantities at fixed times. To buy in large quantities, one needs connections.

It will become even more difficult to buy food in the future, and this situation will only become more severe.

Shuisheng had made ample preparations in advance for the daily necessities that required ration coupons to purchase and were also easy to store for a long time.

Ruolan gazed quietly at the dimly lit room, filled with all sorts of items, and couldn't help but recall the terrible famine that was about to descend upon them in the coming years.

Thinking of the famine reminded him of Shui Sheng's sacrifice. The person he risked his life to save was an ingrate. Shui Sheng had at least sacrificed himself to save him, but his savior was dead, and he didn't even acknowledge it.

He left behind his wife and young child, Ruolan. Later, when they needed his help, he would stay far away. Ruolan felt sorry for her husband.

Ruolan has told Shuisheng everything she experienced, in the form of her dream, and Shuisheng has expressed his trust in Ruolan.

From then on, Ruolan would cover for Shuisheng no matter what he did.

Although their area was not the most affected by the famine and no one starved to death, everyone was still skin and bones during the three-year famine.

Looking at the ample food reserves before her, she no longer felt fear or unease.

Because her husband had prepared a full load of food! After carefully counting, there were two large sacks of rice, three large sacks of rice, two sacks of cornmeal, half a sack of soybeans, and a sack of wheat flour!

In addition to the usual items, there are also staple food ingredients such as noodles and rice noodles.

Shuisheng also bought some candy, which was specially prepared for Ruolan. Five whole packs of milk candy emitted an enticing sweet aroma, while cigarettes and Moutai liquor were neatly arranged to the side.

The distinct colors of the cured meat looked appetizing, along with several cans of malted milk powder. But the most eye-catching item was the brand-new bicycle!

Upon seeing the bicycle, Ruolan couldn't help but show a surprised expression. She couldn't help but ask, "Why did you buy a bicycle? These things aren't cheap!"

Hearing this, Shui Sheng smiled slightly and explained, "I'm just doing this in case. You never know when it might come in handy. Besides, I happen to have tickets now, so why not buy them?"

At this moment, Ruolan said thoughtfully, "In that case, when we have time in the future, why don't we make a few more jars of meat sauce and chili sauce, as well as canned goods? These sauces can be stored for a long time without spoiling, and we can just take them out and eat some whenever we want. It's so convenient..."

Shuisheng stood quietly to the side, listening attentively to his wife's advice. After Ruolan finished speaking, he nodded repeatedly.

He expressed his agreement: "Yes, that's a good idea. Let's do it together."

Over here, Old Man Xie caught a glimpse of his eldest daughter-in-law slowly walking towards them.

He immediately understood perfectly that his eldest daughter-in-law never had anything good to say whenever she came over.

Sure enough, the eldest daughter-in-law, with a meaningful smile on her face, slowly came over to find Old Lady Xie.

Without saying a word, he got up, turned around, and headed towards the village, intending to find a few old friends to chat and boast.

Anyway, even a fool could guess that his eldest daughter-in-law wouldn't say anything good.

However, before Old Man Xie could even step out of the courtyard, he suddenly saw his sister-in-law leading several villagers toward him.

Judging from their expressions, they've clearly come to chat with Old Lady Xie about gossip and everyday matters.

"Sister-in-law, come here! Have you eaten?" Old Man Xie greeted her with a serious expression.

Aunt Jie looked closely and realized it was Gouwa (Old Man Jie's nickname). She smiled and replied, "We've already eaten. We were just bored and wanted to chat with your wife. If you have something to do, go ahead and do your thing. Don't worry about us."

Without paying any attention to Old Man Jie, the group entered the courtyard chatting and laughing.

Old Man Xie ignored it and went straight out the door.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after breakfast, Shuisheng happily went to ask Aunt Jie for money, as he wanted to take his wife for a stroll in the city.

Looking at her good-for-nothing son, Old Lady Xie was both angry and amused. He was always going against her because of his wife.

“I don’t have any money. If you have money, go ahead. If you don’t, stay home. You’re all grown up, and all you know how to do is join in the fun.”

Shuisheng wasn't discouraged when his mother refused to give him the money. He didn't necessarily need the money; he just wanted an excuse to spend it openly. So he had no choice but to argue with his mother.

Finally, unable to resist her son's persistent nagging, the old lady gave each of her three daughters-in-law a dollar and told them to go and have fun on their own.

It's not easy for children to go to the city; it takes more than three hours to walk there.

Besides, there are too many people in the city during the Spring Festival; nobody has time to take care of these dozen or so kids.

Sister-in-law Jie and Li Xiaocao, however, were reluctant to part with the money they had unexpectedly received, and therefore did not go.

In the end, only Ruolan and her husband went. They had originally thought that since they had been back for more than a month, it would be nice to go to the city for a stroll.

Actually, the village is quite close to the city, but it's farther from the county seat.

After Shui Sheng and his companion walked one kilometer out of the village, he conjured a bicycle from his spatial storage, mounted it, and started riding.

Seeing him like this, Ruolan was a little worried. "You're so careless in broad daylight. What if someone sees you?"

Shuisheng had already observed the area carefully and said confidently, "Don't worry, I've checked everything. There's no one around. We can get to the city faster by bicycle. We can just put the bicycles away when we're almost there."

Once they reached the city, he put away his bicycle. The two looked around to make sure no one was watching, then held hands and happily walked into the city.

They chatted and laughed all the way, it was a rare moment for the two of them to be so relaxed.
