Chapter 120 Bought a house and moved back

Just when Jiang Yutang thought she would refuse, she suddenly relented: "It's possible, but I have a condition."

"Go ahead! As long as I can do it, it's no problem."

Jiang Yutang agreed without hesitation and even offered, "When I go out, I'll also buy some things for your family, so you won't have to make another trip."

Cheng Daier raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting her to have become so clever and guess her thoughts.

She then stood up straight with her arms crossed, pretending to be self-righteous: "I don't have much money right now, so consider these things a loan from me. I'll definitely pay you back when I get my monthly allowance."

"No need, no need." Jiang Yutang waved her hand. "It's all small money, there's no need to talk about paying it back."

Cheng Dai'er chuckled, "You're quite magnanimous." With that, she turned and went into the tent.

The next day at noon, Jiang Yutang had just finished sorting and storing the dried medicinal herbs at the clinic when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the courtyard.

Upon recognizing Cheng Daier, she immediately dropped what she was doing and ran forward: "Auntie, did you get the token?"

"Um."

Cheng Daier took out a crumpled note from her bosom and handed it to her.

She excitedly unfolded it and saw a crooked but barely legible character "准" written in ink, with a hastily drawn circle next to it.

Her lips twitched, and she asked uncertainly, "This...this is the exit token?"

It should at least look like Indonesia to be worthy of being built!

Cheng Dai'er responded calmly, "Captain Wu said that with this, I can leave the city gate and no one will dare to stop me. If there's nothing else, I'll go back. There's still work to be done at the weapons workshop."

After seeing Cheng Dai'er off, Jiang Yutang immediately went to ask Doctor Xu for leave.

"Dr. Xu, I'd like to go out during lunch break to buy some things and come right back. It won't take too long, is that alright?"

Dr. Xu hesitated, holding his rice bowl, "Going out is certainly possible, but... don't get your hopes up too high."

Jiang Yutang didn't understand what she meant, thinking she was worried that he would delay things, so she quickly assured her, "I'll be right back in half an hour."

She didn't even have time for lunch; she grabbed the token and ran towards the city gate.

Upon arriving at the city gate, Jiang Yutang respectfully handed the hastily written "token" to the guard.

The other person took the note, glanced at it, looked her up and down for a moment, then casually raised his hand and shouted towards the city wall.

Soon, the heavy wooden door creaked open as the soldiers on it slowly pulled it open, leaving only a gap for one person to pass through.

"Thank you, sir." Jiang Yutang quickly expressed her gratitude and walked briskly out of the city wall.

She had only caught a fleeting glimpse of the scene outside the city on her first day of arrival, but now, upon closer inspection, she realized it was even more dilapidated than she had seen before.

She tightened her grip on the silver notes tucked in her bosom and searched along the dirt road for three shops selling cotton quilts, but the quality of the quilts in the shops was unsatisfactory.

The cotton wadding was stiff and heavy, and contained small impurities. The quilt cover was made of coarse linen, which felt rough and uncomfortable to the touch.

Perhaps the climate in Danzhou is unsuitable for growing cotton, resulting in poor quality cotton. Or perhaps the local people are too poor to afford good cotton quilts, so shops naturally don't stock premium products.

Jiang Yutang held a piece of coarse cotton in her hand, hesitating: Should she just buy a few sets to make do?

But then he thought, his family had been exiled from the capital to this place, enduring wind and rain all the way. Now they finally had a stable place to live, so why should they make themselves suffer?

As soon as the idea came to her, she made a decision immediately.

Go back to Hyundai for procurement!

She looked around and quickly found an abandoned, dilapidated house. The door was mostly rotten, and the house was empty. It was perfect for hiding.

Jiang Yutang closed the broken wooden door behind her, took out the pirated book from her pocket, and when she opened her eyes again, a familiar modern room came into view. She subconsciously touched the bag she carried with her...

"Oh no!"

I realized that I had returned in such a hurry that I forgot to bring back the antiques I had exchanged in ancient times.

Jiang Yutang slapped her forehead in frustration, but purchasing supplies was more important right now, so she had to put the matter aside for the time being.

She glanced at the time on her phone; it was noon. She went to the supermarket to buy some fresh fruit before heading straight to the hospital.

She gently pushed open the door to her grandfather's hospital room and found him taking a nap. She quietly placed some fruit down, left a note of concern on the bedside table, and then left to head to the home textile market.

Upon entering the home textile store, she went straight to the counter and said bluntly, "Bring out your best quilts."

Upon hearing this, the salesperson immediately recommended the latest Xinjiang long-staple cotton quilt to her.

She carefully squeezed it; it felt soft and fluffy to the touch and had excellent warmth retention. She immediately ordered twelve sets, left her shop's address, and instructed the shop assistant to deliver them.

After leaving the home textile market, she rushed to the furniture mall with a clear goal: bunk beds.

After browsing several stores, all she saw were children's bunk beds with narrow and low mattresses. She couldn't imagine what it would look like for several tall older brothers to be huddled up on them.

"Excuse me, do you have larger adult bunk beds?" she asked a sales assistant.

The sales assistant looked troubled and scratched his head: "Yes, we do, but they are all unassembled parts, and you need to assemble them yourself."

"no problem!"

Jiang Yutang pinched out a bank card with her fingers: "I can put it in myself, as long as there are instructions."

Seeing her so decisive, the sales assistant immediately and enthusiastically introduced her to a reinforced adult bunk bed with a wide and sturdy bed board and strong load-bearing capacity.

Jiang Yutang immediately ordered four sets, along with four thick mattresses, and requested that they be delivered to the store.

Now that her family is in Danzhou, their meals are provided by the camp, so she doesn't need to buy food separately. She only bought some candy and milk powder.

Afterwards, she went to a pharmacy and bought some commonly used emergency medicines. After completing her purchase, she took a taxi back to her shop.

As soon as Jiang Yutang arrived at the entrance of his antique shop, he was blocked by two trucks parked side by side.

The driver leaned out of the driver's seat and waved enthusiastically: "Are you Ms. Jiang? You bought so many things, we were worried you wouldn't be able to carry them all by yourself, so we waited here for you."

Following the driver's gaze, the truck bed was crammed full of things: packed Xinjiang cotton quilts, large cardboard boxes containing bunk bed parts, and rolled-up beds.

Jiang Yutang's mind went blank, as if struck by lightning, and she felt a sharp pain in her back teeth.

Buying is a momentary pleasure, but it leads to disaster later.

She quickly opened the shop door, and the employees were stunned when they entered. They carefully carried the items inside, afraid of bumping into the antique bottles and jars on the shelf next to them.

Jiang Yutang directed people to move the things to the tea room for entertaining guests, but her mind was already in turmoil.

This is much more outrageous than bringing watermelons back last time. He sighed and helplessly rubbed his temples.

She had never tested how much she could carry at once, and now that she had brought so much, it was uncertain whether she could bring it all back.

Jiang Yutang took a deep breath, solemnly placed the ancient book on the table, bowed to it three times earnestly, and silently said, "Old friend, I'm counting on you."
