Going around to the path at the foot of the mountain, she opened the fence gate.

When Old Man Zheng heard the noise, he walked to the back door.

As soon as Li Xinran saw the person, he handed over the small bundle in his hand.

"This is what Shen Boyuan asked me to pass on to you."

Old man Zheng was stunned and looked at Li Xinran in surprise.

"You know Shen Boyuan?"

Li Xinran subconsciously wanted to deny that she and Shen Boyuan were not that familiar yet.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xinran said matter-of-factly,

"Several times."

Old Man Zheng had a suspicion in his heart. Did he really just know him a few times?

Based on his understanding of Shen Boyuan, he had only met her a few times, but Shen Boyuan would not let her give him anything.

Although Li Xinran noticed Old Man Zheng's expression, he didn't think too much about it.

Her mission was to deliver the things. Now that the things had been delivered, it was time for her to leave.

Li Xinran was about to speak when she realized that she still didn't know the name of the old man in front of her.

After a pause, Li Xinran opened his mouth and shouted,

"Uncle, I'll leave first."

"I will come over again in the future to give you things."

"If you weren't here, I would put it in that corner for you."

Li Xinran said while pointing.

Old man Zheng looked in the direction of Li Xinran's finger and nodded, indicating that he understood.

After Li Xinran received Old Man Zheng's response, he turned and left.

On the way back, Li Xinran picked up a lot of dry branches and went back.

In the evening, she had to cook, but there was not a single firewood in her small courtyard.

It seems that tomorrow, in addition to digging wild vegetables and picking wild fruits, she will also chop some firewood.

After picking up for a long time, Li Xinran picked up a large bundle of firewood and went back.

On the road, an auntie shouted enthusiastically from a few meters away,

"Hey, Xinran, let's collect some dry firewood."

"Isn't that right? We just moved and there is no firewood."

"I'll ask my boy to send you some."

Li Xinran looked up and saw that it was the aunt who sold her the straw hat she met on her first day at work.

Li Xinran clearly remembered the few cents she spent.

The aunt in front of me is so happy, she must be trying to make money from her again.

Li Xinran asked casually while walking with dry branches in her arms,

"Is it free?"

The aunt curled her lips and said, "Hey, it's almost like giving it away for free, a bundle of three cents, do you want it?"

Li Xinran smiled and handed the firewood in his hand to the aunt.

"Auntie, can I sell this bundle of firewood to you for two cents?"

"It's still a dime cheaper than your firewood, do you want it?"

After Li Xinran finished speaking, she looked at the aunt seriously.

The aunt looked unhappy,

"I have a lot of firewood at home, so what else can I buy?"

"Auntie feels sorry for you. Seeing that you are a female educated youth who still has to collect firewood by yourself, she is kind enough to sell you a few bundles."

When Li Xinran heard this, the smile on his face became even bigger.

Is this treating her like a fool?

Who would spend money to buy firewood that is all over the mountains and plains?

She just picks it up a few times a day, and that's enough.

If that didn't work, she would take an ax and go up the mountain to chop.

Anyway, if she has space, she can just throw it into the space after cutting it, and then take it out again when she gets to the village.

"Auntie, you'd better sell your firewood to others."

"I can go up the mountain and pick it up myself." Li Xinran refused directly.

The aunt still said without giving up,

"Li Zhiqing, when winter comes and you need firewood, tell me."

"I'll give it back to you."

It was cold this winter, and she didn't believe that a young educated youth could go up the mountain to cut firewood by himself.

Li Xinran smiled and said nothing.

If she were to buy it in winter, she would really buy it.

The firewood at my aunt's house probably costs fifty cents per bundle.

When the aunt saw that Li Xinran stopped talking, she felt it was boring and she couldn't make any money.

After walking a few meters away from Li Xinran, he quickened his pace and left.

Li Xinran carried dry branches all the way back to the courtyard.

Then, he picked up the bucket and went to the educated youth spot to fetch water.

In the educated youth spot, Wang Xiaoying was cooking. When she saw Li Xinran coming over, she glared at her.

Li Xinran also wanted to glare at her, but in an instant she felt that going back and forth like this was a bit like elementary school chickens pinching each other.

Simply ignore her and let her stare lonely.

Zhao Meijuan and others still treat Li Xinran as before.

Among male educated youths, nothing has changed.

As far as building a house is concerned, the old educated youths knew that Li Xinran was rich.

Besides, Li Xinran has no conflicts with everyone.

Everyone is still an educated youth, so there is no problem if we smile and say hello when we meet.

After fetching water, Li Xinran started to light the fire and cook.

This was her first meal after moving, and she had to reward herself.

After thinking for a long time, Li Xinran decided to make corn pancakes.

She had just eaten a sweet and sour short ribs for lunch, and she didn't want to eat meat that much.

However, she added some refined white flour and some sugar to the cornmeal.

The water used for kneading the dough is water from space.

After the pot is hot, brush a layer of sunflower oil in the pot.

Then, place the pinched corn tortillas into the pot.

The sound of "Zila Zila" immediately came from the pot.

Li Xinran took advantage of this moment to prepare another plate of wild vegetables.

After a while, the golden tortillas came out of the pan.

The aroma immediately filled the entire kitchen.

Li Xinran served it on a plate and put it on her newly bought table.

Another dish of wild vegetables and a plate of tempting strawberries were placed. Of course, the strawberries were in space.

But now she was alone. She took it out to eat and didn't see it.

Li Xinran thought for a while and made another bowl of malted milk for herself.

Then, she sat on the stool and enjoyed her dinner.
