Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

The next day, after everyone had started work, Yu Nuan packed up her things. She put some bulky items into her spatial storage, and only took two packages outside as a formality.

There wasn't much to do at the clinic today, so Yu Nuan cleaned the house thoroughly. It hadn't been lived in for a long time, and there was a musty smell. Yu Nuan cleaned inside and out, and looking at the newly renovated house, she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will stay here for a few years, and then this will be her private space. Only then did Yu Nuan feel a little sense of belonging.

Yu Nuan began decorating the house, placing items from her spatial dimension in inconspicuous places, and tearing off the labels from those items.

At lunchtime, Yu Nuan took out the snacks she had collected in her previous life from her spatial storage; they were all her favorites.

Yu Nuan now has ingredients but doesn't know how to cook. She never imagined in her previous life that she would come to an era of food scarcity. If she had known, she would have learned to cook.

While snacking, Yu Nuan couldn't help but reminisce about the days when she used to freeload at Gu Meijing's house. Since coming to this world, Yu Nuan hadn't thought much about the people and events of her past life. Now, recalling them was like looking at a faded old photograph—the memories remained, but they were like strangers to her.

That evening, Yu Nuan took two bottles of wine, a bag of pastries, and a bag of brown sugar to the village chief's house. Remembering that the village chief's grandson was also quite young, she also took some candy for children as a thank you gift for the job the village chief had given her. In fact, it wouldn't have been unreasonable for Yu Nuan to take out more things from her spatial storage. She had originally wanted to take a carton of cigarettes as well, but she was afraid that taking out too many things at once would arouse suspicion.

"Is the village chief home?" Yu Nuan knocked on the door of the village chief's house.

The village chief's wife opened the door. She was a little surprised to see Yu Nuan and asked, "Li Zhiqing, is something wrong so late? Come in quickly."

He then stepped aside to let Yu Nuan in.

"Auntie, is the village chief here? I've come to thank him for finding me such a good job. My family sent me some things so I could express my gratitude to him."

Yu Nuan handed the things in her hand to Li Yan, the village chief's wife.

Li Yan glanced at the items in Yu Nuan's hands and noticed that they were all valuable, so she quickly declined to accept them.

"Hey, Li Zhiqing, have you eaten? If not, come in and have something to eat. What kind of thank-you gift do you have? Hurry up and take it back. It wasn't easy for you to come here, leaving your hometown behind. My husband and I will take care of you as much as we can. Besides, you have good medical skills. My husband is doing this for the people of the village."

"Auntie, no need, I've already eaten. Just take these! The wine is for the village chief. I heard he likes to drink, so I had my dad send it to me."

"You kid..."

"Auntie, it's getting late, so I won't go inside. I'll be going now."

After saying that, Yu Nuan turned and left, with Li Yan calling after her, "Be careful on the road."

Just then, the village chief finished eating and came out. Seeing what his wife was holding, he asked, "Who came just now?"

"It's Li Zhiqing who took these gifts as a token of gratitude. They look quite valuable to me. Old man, do you think I should return them tomorrow?"

After a moment of contemplation, the village chief said, "No need. You definitely won't want to go back anyway. Just take good care of me from now on."

After saying that, the village chief picked up the wine bottle and left, thinking that he would ask his eldest daughter-in-law to make some snacks to go with the wine. He hadn't had any wine in a long time, and this feeling was really unpleasant!

When Li Yan saw the old man take the wine inside, she knew his craving for alcohol had kicked in. She abandoned any thought of returning it to Yu Nuan, took the things inside, and pondered how to repay Yu Nuan for the favor she owed her.

Li Yan gave the candy to her eldest daughter-in-law, splitting the bag of brown sugar in half. Brown sugar was a precious commodity for ordinary families these days. It wasn't that Li Yan was stingy, but there was only so much, and she had to keep half to entertain guests when they came. She planned to save the pastries for future gifts.

Li Yan has three sons and one daughter. Now that her children are all married, the elderly couple lives with their eldest son, while the others separated from their families after getting married.

Now, her eldest daughter-in-law is a dutiful daughter-in-law, and Li Yan's life is quite comfortable. However, she doesn't earn much money throughout the year. Although her parents subsidize her, she is only slightly better off than other villagers.

The second son lives in town; both he and his wife work in a factory. The younger son is in the military, and his wife is a doctor, introduced to him by a superior. So neither of them needs to worry.

Yu Nuan returned home, and now that she was alone in the house, she could safely take things from her spatial storage without having to sneak around anymore.

Once inside the space, Yu Nuan checked on the fish, which was still asleep. She tidied up the space, placing usable items in prominent places for easy access when needed, and then came out.

Then, remembering her desire to practice cooking, she found a cookbook. As expected of something from her spatial dimension, this book contained recipes from all ages, including many unfamiliar ingredients. Yu Nuan recalled Yu Yu mentioning the existence of many worlds within this space-time continuum; this might be something from another world.

The novel world that Yu Nuan is currently in may be created by someone from the same world as her, as most of the settings in the novel are the same as the world Yu Nuan lives in.

Yu Nuan woke up to the warm sunlight in the morning. She picked up her watch from beside her pillow and saw that it was already eight o'clock.

Yu Nuan stretched comfortably and sighed, "It feels so good not to have to get up early for work."

There wasn't much going on at the clinic, so Yu Nuan slowly got up, made herself a simple breakfast, heated up a cup of milk, and then took some bread from her spatial storage.

The clinic was right next to Yu Nuan's house; it was just outside the door. It was where Yu Nuan worked. People in the village didn't usually come here for treatment unless they were seriously ill, because they were afraid of spending money on medical care.

Feeling bored, Yu Nuan took out a medical book to read. Although Yu Nuan's medical skills were already quite high compared to the average person, there was no end to learning, and Yu Nuan needed to continue to improve her medical skills.

When they finished work in the evening, Wu Xianya's dormitorymates and the male educated youths who were familiar with Yu Nuan all came over, and everyone brought Yu Nuan some moving gifts.

"Yu Nuan, we've come to see you."

As soon as Wu Xianya entered the courtyard, she called out loudly for Yu Nuan. Hearing that someone had arrived, Yu Nuan peeked out and, seeing her friends, happily welcomed them inside. All the educated youth from the educated youth compound had come, making a total of nine people including Yu Nuan.

"Why are you here?"

"We came to see you and also to congratulate you on moving to your new home!"

Then everyone gave Yu Nuan the things they had brought, saying, "We don't have any nice gifts, just these snacks sent from home."

"It's alright, it's good that you're here. You haven't eaten yet, have you? You can eat here tonight."

"No need, we'll leave in a bit."

Li Yu made an excuse to leave, giving Yu Nuan all sorts of instructions, telling her to be careful when living alone.

Everyone knew that food was scarce at this time, and if everyone ate Yu Nuan's food, it would consume half a month's worth of her rations. However, everyone's worries were unnecessary; for Yu Nuan, food was the last thing she lacked.

"Since you're already here, eat before you leave. Besides, you all brought me gifts, how can I accept them? My dad just mailed me some dried meat, so I'll treat it as a celebration."

Yu Nuan had to use all her persuasive skills to persuade everyone to stay for a meal.
