The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

They ate leftovers from last night for lunch and dinner, along with some steamed rice. Lying in bed, they chatted about their experiences during the day.

Liu Mengting remarked, "Life in the countryside is tough, but it also has its joys."

Xin Yi nodded, "Yes, as long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to adapt to life here."

They believe that the future will get better and better.

When Xin Yi and her companion were almost asleep in bed, the others returned to their room, as they needed to prepare dinner quickly and couldn't do it as fast as Xin Yi and her companion.

Sensing someone entering, Xin Yi and the other person stopped talking and pretended to be asleep.

Xin Yi, who was pretending to be almost asleep, suddenly felt someone staring at her. She squinted and looked around. It turned out to be Mei Zhi, who was looking at her as if she was plotting something.

After a few quiet days, Xin Yi remained wary of Mei Zhi, feeling that Mei Zhi was involved in Fang Yi and her partner's affair, but she had no evidence. Oh well, she would find out eventually.

Having thought it through, Xin Yi closed her eyes.

I've been in Dahe Village for several days now, but my lightning abilities haven't improved at all, and the village still doesn't have electricity.

In my previous life, I could use the core beads of zombies to enhance my abilities, but there are no zombies here for me to harvest.

There are quite a few core beads in my own space, but the space itself has not been opened yet. I have treasures, but I can't access them.

Using electricity directly to enhance one's abilities is feasible, but there's no electricity in the village. Does that mean I have to go and attract lightning?

What if a bolt of lightning strikes and I meet the King of Hell?

It seems I need to find a way to disperse the lightning, otherwise I'll be asking for trouble.

Xin Yi racked her brains trying to come up with a solution, blaming herself for not studying science in her previous life and for not knowing these basic common sense facts.

Sigh, never mind, I'll just go to sleep first and talk about it when the thunderstorms come.

Time always seems to fly by when I'm asleep; it feels like I've just closed my eyes when the drums and gongs start beating overhead.

"Ok!"

Xin Yi struggled to open her eyes, patted Liu Mengting beside her, and then dragged her tired body to her feet.

The thought of having to make breakfast herself made Xin Yi feel resistant; these days were really hard to endure.

After working for four days, thanks to the tempering and strengthening of her body by her lightning powers, Xin Yi became more and more accustomed to normal work and found everything easy to handle.

Poor Liu Mengting, after four consecutive days of work, she was exhausted. In her own words, she felt like she had lost a lot of weight, and the thought of going back to work made her want to quit.

But today there is good news: Xinyi's house is finally completed. She will find time in the next couple of days to prepare the pots and pans, heat the kang (a heated brick bed), and then she can move the pots and pans inside.

The thought of having her own space filled Xin Yi with energy, and she finished a whole day's work in half a day.

Although Aunt Zhang said she could help her find pots and pans in the village, they were still used by other people.

Perhaps it's a modern habit, but Xin Yi felt that moving to a new house would definitely require buying new things, and she didn't need to make herself suffer like that since she didn't need these few things.

Besides, who knows if others have infectious diseases? What if they do? Given my current health, it shouldn't be a big problem, but it's still unpleasant to others.

Thinking of this, Xin Yi couldn't help but smile. There should be very few infectious diseases in this era. She was just worrying unnecessarily.

But I just want to spend money, so what? Money can't buy my willingness!

The conditions in Dahe Village were not very good. Xin Yi asked around but didn't hear of anyone owning a bicycle.

Finally, Xin Yi decided to run to town by herself, just to get some exercise.

Perhaps because she had worked hard all day and exhausted a lot of energy, Xin Yi was already out of breath after running for about half an hour.

However, she did not choose to stop and rest, because she knew that if she persisted a little longer, she could break her physical limits, just like in her previous life, which would be of great benefit to her physical exercise.

As it turned out, Xinyi's idea was correct.

Before long, Xinyi felt an inexplicable energy bursting forth from her body, which enabled her to run all the way to town in one go.

She went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if she could buy everything she needed; if not, she would think of other ways.

At first, Xin Yi planned to buy three sets of bowls and chopsticks, but then she thought that it wouldn't be appropriate to have to bring her own bowls and chopsticks if friends came to her house for dinner.

Besides, accidents happen in every household. If a bowl breaks and there's no spare, how are we supposed to eat?

Xin Yi finally decided to buy five sets of bowls and chopsticks, a ladle, and two iron basins.

The bowls and chopsticks cost two yuan, a ladle cost fifty cents, and two iron basins cost eight yuan, for a total of ten yuan and fifty cents plus some receipts.

Unfortunately, the pots at the supply and marketing cooperative were sold out, and the reservation would have to wait a week, so I had to give up.

It seems the only option is to go back and ask Aunt Zhang for help, and search around the village.

I also bought some oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and other condiments, which cost me six yuan.

Having bought almost everything, and considering that she only had two hands and would have to walk back, Xin Yi had to give up the idea of ​​browsing the black market.

Xin Yi carefully carried a bunch of things as she walked. Just as she left the town, she saw the village's oxcart.

Suddenly, I slapped my forehead and realized, "Am I stupid? Why don't I just put the things on the oxcart and ask Grandpa Liu, who drives it, to keep an eye on them?"

Xin Yi, carrying her things, came to the oxcart. "Uncle Liu, do you recognize me?"

After observing him carefully, Grandpa Liu said, "You must be one of the educated youth who came to the countryside a few days ago!"

"Uncle Liu, you have a good memory. My name is Xin Yi, and I'd like to ask you for a favor!"

As he spoke, he took out two fruit candies from his pocket and handed them to Grandpa Liu.

"Uncle Liu, sweeten your lips first!"

Grandpa Liu didn't continue, saying, "Why don't you tell me what it is first?"

"Uncle Liu, I'd like to take a stroll around town. As you can see, it's inconvenient for me to carry all this stuff, so I was wondering if I could leave it with you and ask you to look after it for me!"

Grandpa Liu suddenly realized, "Oh, that's what it is. No problem, feel free to leave your things here. But you have to be back before 6:30. We can't keep everyone waiting for you!"

And there you have it, the problem is solved!

"I understand, Uncle Liu. I'll definitely be back on time and won't make things difficult for you!"

He then stuffed the candy in his hand into Grandpa Liu's pocket and turned to leave.

Xin Yi estimated that she had about an hour and a half left. If the shopping went smoothly, she could go to a state-run restaurant for a nice meal so she wouldn't have to cook for herself when she got back.

Xin Yi suddenly thought of something, touched the ground a few times, and then quickly smeared it on her face until she could no longer recognize herself before stopping.
