"Xiao Jing, you're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Grandma Su asked as she entered the door.

"Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry." Sun Jing was afraid that his grandma would worry, so he held Grandma Su's hand and smiled.

"It's good that he's okay, it's good that he's okay. Grandma was so worried." Grandma Su cried with joy when she saw her grandson wake up.

"This time it's all thanks to your sister Xiaoxi. If she hadn't saved you, grandma wouldn't know what to do." When Grandma Su mentioned Linxi, her eyes lit up.

Sister Xiaoxi? Who is that? Is she here to steal his house again?

No, he couldn't let his grandmother be deceived by this man named Xiaoxi.

"Who is that?" Sun Jing's tone was full of vigilance.

"Come here, Xiaoxi, my grandson Sun Jing has woken up." Grandma Su couldn't wait to introduce him to Lin Xi who had just entered the house.

"Hello! My name is Lin Xi, and I'm an educated youth who went to the countryside." Lin Xi looked at Sun Jing and introduced himself.

She didn't really regard the eight-year-old child in front of her as a child. She could tell at a glance that the child was mentally mature.

Sun Jing looked at Lin Xi in front of him warily, as if he wanted to see through her purpose of coming here.

With a "puchi" sound, Lin Xi couldn't help laughing. He was obviously just a child, but he pretended to be so serious. It was really hard to laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Sun Jing was a little angry.

"I'm not laughing at anything, I just think you're cute!" Lin Xi pinched Sun Jing's right cheek, thinking to herself that he was cute, but a little thin, and not easy to pinch.

Afraid that Sun Jing would be unhappy, Lin Xi only pinched his hand for a second before letting go.

"You..." This woman was too bold. She actually dared to pinch him. Sun Jing puffed up his face angrily.

"Xiao Jing, this is the sister Xiaoxi who saved you that I told you about. Come and say hello to her." Seeing her grandson sulking, Grandma Su hurried out to smooth things over.

"Sister Xiaoxi." Sun Jing called her reluctantly. If his grandmother hadn't asked him to, he wouldn't have called her!

Lin Xi was not angry either. She would not be angry with a kid.

"Hurry up and thank your sister Xiaoxi." Grandma Su was a little angry.

What's wrong with this kid? He is usually very polite, so why is he so ignorant of etiquette now?

"Thank you for saving me." Sun Jing put away his temper and thanked him sincerely.

"You're welcome." Lin Xi was a little confused by Sun Jing's seriousness. He knew how to bend and stretch at such a young age. He was really a talented person!

After Sun Jing thanked him, there was no further words and the room was filled with silence.

"Xiaoxi, let me take you to see the room!" Grandma Su broke the awkwardness.

"Okay, thank you Granny Su." Lin Xi followed him out with a swagger.

See the room? Is she going to live here?

Sun Jing was anxious to get to the bottom of things, but he felt exhausted after just waking up. He could only lie back in bed to recuperate, planning to find an opportunity to ask his grandmother for clarification.

After looking around, Lin Xi chose the most remote room, farthest away from Grandma Su and the others.

"Xiao Xi, isn't this place too remote? Don't worry about Xiao Jing, I will explain it clearly to him." Grandma Su thought that Lin Xi chose this place because of her grandson, and she didn't want to let Lin Xi down.

What to explain? Lin Xi was full of questions.

"Granny Su, I chose this place because I like it here. I like the quietness." Lin Xi didn't want to create a rift between the two dependent grandparents and grandchildren because of herself, so she quickly explained.

"Is it really because of this?" Granny Su was still a little uncertain.

"Of course, I like it here, Grandma Su, don't let your imagination run wild." Lin Xi explained again and again.

"That's good. I won't disturb you anymore. You should have a good rest. I'll go see Xiaojing." Seeing that Lin Xi didn't feel reluctant at all, Grandma Su left with peace of mind. She still had to have a good talk with her grandson!

Finally they left, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She was still not very suitable for dealing with people. In the end times, she was a socially anxious person. Her only friend was Chu Ran. The creatures she dealt with the most were zombies, but they were the kind that could be killed one by one.

Looking at the clean room in front of him, Lin Xi felt that this was how people should live.

"Xiao Jing, you were so rude just now. What did your grandma teach you?" It was the first time that Grandma Su got angry in front of Sun Jing.

"Grandma, I'm sorry!" Sun Jing lowered his head and admitted his mistake. He didn't want to make his grandma angry as her health was not very good.

"Xiao Jing, Xiao Xi is a good person. If it weren't for her, you probably wouldn't have woken up yet." Grandma Su felt sad to see her only grandson like this, and her tone softened a little.

"Grandma, I understand." Although Sun Jing agreed verbally with his head down, he actually did not let down his guard. He planned to observe carefully whether Lin Xi was as good as his grandmother said.

"That's good. You have a good rest. Grandma will go out first." Grandma Su planned to buy some delicious food to thank Lin Xi properly, but she didn't know if she could buy it. After all, there was not much money left in the house!

"Okay, grandma." Sun Jing lay down obediently.

After Grandma Su went out, she went into the next room and searched for a while, and finally found a bracelet in the cupboard.

Judging from the quality, it is top-quality imperial jade. If it were put in modern times, it could buy two houses!

Granny Su looked at the bracelet in her hand and felt a little worried. She wondered if she could exchange it for some money, otherwise she would have no money to buy food.

Grandma Su wrapped the bracelet in a half-worn handkerchief, said something to Sun Jing, and went out.

This kind of thing can't be taken out casually now, so she can only take it to the black market and try her luck to see if anyone will buy it.

Granny Su wrapped herself up carefully, leaving only her eyes exposed. After walking around for a while, she came to an alley and walked in cautiously, not noticing a sneaky figure in the corner not far away.

Grandma Su went to the black market in the city. The city was experiencing a food shortage right now, so the people above her turned a blind eye to the black market. However, it would be a different matter if someone reported it.

After entering the black market, Granny Su was not in a hurry to sell the bracelet. Instead, she secretly observed from the side to see who would have a greater chance of buying it. After all, this bracelet could not be bought and sold openly at the moment.

Lin Xi, who was at Grandma Su's house, went out after taking a short rest. Her destination this time was also the black market.

She thought that since she was in the city, she might as well go to the black market and see if she could sell some supplies. She had enough money anyway, so she decided to go and test the waters first before making a decision.

However, before going to the black market, Lin Xi still found an empty alley and slipped into the space. When she came out, she turned into Xiao Dongzi again, but this time she covered her face with a scarf, so the original owner's family probably wouldn't be able to recognize her.
