Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine

Days passed by, and before they knew it, the day Xia Mingwei and her father had agreed to go to the market arrived.

That morning, Xia Mingwei was woken up by her mother while she was still asleep.

"Daughter, wake up! It's getting late, we need to get ready to go to the market!"

Xia Mingwei rubbed her eyes, looked at the gray sky outside the window, and sighed, "Mother, why do we have to go to the market so early!"

"This is late! Get up quickly, or it'll be too late!"

Hearing this, Xia Mingwei reluctantly put on her clothes.

"Mother, why are you all dressed up too? Are you coming with us?"

Xia's mother gave Xia Mingwei a reproachful look, "It's all because you were so eager to go to the market. I was worried that your father wouldn't be able to take care of you while he was exchanging grain for you! That's why I decided to go with you! That way, I can look after you both!"

Hearing these caring words, Xia Mingwei felt a warmth in her heart. No wonder the original owner wished for such wonderful parents to live a happy life! If she were in their shoes, she would have done the same!

It was still dark, which Xia Mingwei considered quite early. But what could she do in those days when transportation was so scarce? Without suitable means of transport, she had no choice but to walk!

To get to the market, I have to get up really early. If I'm late, not only is it risky, but I might not be able to buy what I want!

Now that things have come to this point, it's clear that Xia's father wasn't going to a legitimate supply and marketing cooperative, but rather the black market.

Not only were the goods at the supply and marketing cooperative expensive, but they also required grain coupons. Sometimes, you'd encounter rude or unscrupulous shop assistants, leaving you with nowhere to turn for help.

However, the market demand for various goods is enormous, making the black market the only viable option. Many people even take the risk of engaging in trafficking.

To eradicate this market chaos, the government imposes severe punishments on black market dealers. Fines and public humiliation are minor offenses; some have even been shot and killed. However, no matter how severe the punishments, they cannot compare to the allure of money! For the enormous profits, people still flock to these black market dealers.

It took a long time to get from Xia's father's village to the nearest town market. Without modern cars and motorcycles, Xia's father and his two companions had to get up early to go to the market!

And so, with her father carrying the heavy load of grain and her mother holding Xia Mingwei's hand, the group set off in a grand procession toward the town's market.

To Xia Mingwei's surprise, she had overestimated the strength of her body.

Not long after setting off, Xia Mingwei felt a pain in her foot.

Therefore, she had to slow down her pace. She squatted down and rubbed her calves to relieve the soreness in her feet.

She thought all of this was well hidden, but naturally, nothing that happened escaped Xia's mother's eyes.

She sighed, walked to Xia Mingwei's side, and squatted down very naturally.

She patted her back and said helplessly to Xia Mingwei, "Why didn't you just have your dad bring it to you? You insisted on going to the market by yourself, and now you're tired! Come on, Mom will carry you!"

Xia Mingwei is, after all, an adult, and she felt a little embarrassed by her mother's enthusiasm.

So she made her refusal clear to Xia's mother, waving her hand, "Mom, no need! I'm a grown woman, why would I need someone to carry me? It would be so embarrassing if people saw me like that!"

Upon hearing this, Xia's mother frowned and urged Xia Mingwei, "Hurry up and come up, or we'll be late!"

Seeing that her mother was determined to do so, Xia Mingwei could not persuade her otherwise and had no choice but to obediently climb onto her mother's back.

Seeing her clinging to her back, Xia's mother continued speaking to Xia Mingwei, "Daughter, no matter how old you get, you'll always be my child! So don't worry too much about what others think, just be my little girl!"

Hearing these heartwarming words, Xia Mingwei felt her eyes well up with tears. She knew it was the lingering emotions of the original owner of this body at work. Such a good mother, yet she met such a tragic end. She was filled with hatred for those people, and she wanted them all to receive their just deserts!

She patted her chest and said reassuringly to the original owner of this body, "Don't worry! I will definitely not let your parents suffer such a fate!"

Only after Xia Mingwei finished speaking did she feel the anger in her heart slowly dissipate.

Seeing this, she finally felt at ease and nestled onto her mother's back. Her mother's back wasn't nearly as broad as her father's, but Xia Mingwei still felt safe and secure on it. With each steady step, Xia Mingwei let out a big yawn and drifted off to sleep again.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Mingwei felt a jolt on her back and woke up again.

Xia's mother turned her head and said to Xia Mingwei on her back, "Daughter, wake up, we're in town!"

Upon hearing her mother's words, Xia Mingwei shifted her body and slid off her back.

She looked around at everything and examined it carefully.

For Xia Mingwei, who had witnessed the bustling metropolises of later generations, such a market was far from being described as merely lively. But for people of this era, it was already a rare and wonderful place.

The surrounding villages come here to buy whatever they need. From weddings and funerals to everyday household items, this small market is indispensable.

"Daughter, aren't the houses in this place big?" Xia's mother said to Xia Mingwei as she looked at the houses in the town.

Xia Mingwei, of course, wouldn't deny it, so she nodded obediently. She then said to her mother in a conciliatory tone, "Mom, this place is so big! I'll definitely work hard in the future so that Dad and Mom can live in a house this big too!"

Hearing this, even though Xia Mingwei's mother didn't believe everything she said, she was still incredibly happy. She patted Xia Mingwei's head and said gently, "We don't usually come to this place. Let's have a good look around today. If you see anything you like, Mom will buy it for you!"

Xia Mingwei had seen most of the things here before, so nothing really piqued her interest. However, this didn't stop her from pretending not to know anything in front of her mother, acting like a curious child.

She looked left and right, but didn't ask Xia's mother for money. She knew perfectly well how difficult it was for farmers to earn money, and didn't want Xia's parents to pay for it.

After some investigation, Xia Mingwei had a different idea about the goods at the market. If others could make money, so could she!

After all, she wanted to earn her first pot of gold before her father got injured. This would greatly benefit her future plans.
