Chapter 433 The Miracle of the Small System Nono
Reading Settings
Liu Yanan was in a hurry to go to work, so she went to her workplace after breakfast. After locking the door, Bai Nuo turned around and went back to her space, where she went to the dressing room on the second floor of the pavilion to pick out an outfit.
Back in the countryside, she had made two sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers in advance to wear during the winter in Northeast China. Most people there wear drab gray clothes in winter, but she didn't do anything special. She made herself two sets of thick cotton-padded trousers and trousers using coarse black and gray cloth. The trousers even had suspenders to prevent her waist from getting cold in winter. They were really rustic and thick.
Who would have thought that she would never have had a chance to wear it, so when she left, she sold it directly to Xu Chaonan, who was about the same height as her in the village, also known as Xu Laidi.
Before, Xu Laidi was just a hard-working ox at home. Her parents wished she would just work and not eat. In winter, she wore an old cotton-padded coat that her mother-in-law had taken off years ago. The cotton inside was so hard that it could kill an ox. It was only because Xu Chaonan was hard-hearted that she didn't freeze to death.
Since severing ties with the Xu family, Xu Chaonan, who was already very capable, worked even harder to earn money. Not only did she work in the textile factory, but she would also work in the fields after work to earn work points. She saved up some money and then negotiated with the factory for half a month's wages. With some extra grain, she finally managed to buy the two sets of cotton-padded clothes and trousers from Bai Nuo through Chao Xianhua's connections.
Bai Nuo's two sets of cotton-padded clothes were made with good cotton, making them lightweight and thick. If you wore a sweater underneath, you wouldn't feel cold even if the temperature was 30 or 40 degrees Celsius in winter. Xu Chaonan felt that she had gotten a great deal, so when Chao Xianhua and her friends discussed preparing mountain goods for Bai Nuo, Xu Chaonan also added a lot to the set.
Bai Nuo was standing in her huge walk-in closet when she suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have any winter clothes.
There were quite a few items in the space, but most of the winter clothes were outdated and hadn't been put in the walk-in closet. After the little system woke up, it worked all night with the three household appliances that consume electricity to organize the house inside and out. The thin clothes were washed and put away again, and now the walk-in closet looked empty.
"Stop hesitating, just wear this!" The little system flew in and out again, carrying a set of clothes and handing it to Bai Nuo.
Bai Nuo stopped worrying about it, grabbed the clothes, and went to change.
A white turtleneck short sweater with a white rabbit fur trim around the neckline—soft, cozy, and not itchy—was worn over a thick, windproof, military-green quilted long wool coat. Slightly fitted black wool trousers and dark brown ankle boots that reached just above the calves completed the look.
That's why people always want to flock to big cities, whether it's Beijing or Shanghai. No matter how well you dress, you might get a few extra glances and people might say something like, "This girl's family is really capable," but no one will find it too surprising or unusual.
There are not only several large state-owned department stores here, but also the Friendship Store, which only exports goods. It not only carries clothing imported from abroad, but also items from the port city. If you are lucky and your family is capable, you can really buy a lot of rare items or novel clothes and accessories on a trip.
Seeing Bai Nuo come out after changing her clothes, the little system flew behind Bai Nuo with a green hair tie with small floating flowers in its hand. It tied the little girl's hair into a low bun, and then tidied up the hair on both sides. The hair was smooth, fell naturally, and had a bit of lazy curls, making the little girl look even more lively and lovely.
Bai Nuo's hair has grown quite a bit, reaching past her shoulders when loose. However, her work and daily training are not suitable for long hair, so this is the longest it can grow. As a result, the small system has compiled a large box of hairbands, hair ties, and headbands, but they have no chance to be shown off.
"Alright, I'm practically your miracle Nuonuo now. Have you prepared the fruit I asked you to prepare?" Bai Nuo reached out and hugged the little housekeeper tightly, then turned and walked downstairs.
When winter came, she stopped carrying a bag. Her coat had pockets, and she had her own car, so even if she didn't carry a bag, taking something out wouldn't arouse suspicion. So, once winter arrived, she simply stopped carrying a bag altogether.
"Everything is ready. I specially asked 925 to pick them from the orchard. They are all seasonal fruits that are currently available outside: a basket of oranges, a basket of apples, a basket of pears, a basket of winter dates, and a basket of hawthorns and persimmons."
I also went to the warehouse and got ten pounds of pork, ten pounds of ribs, ten pounds of pork bones, ten pig's trotters, three chickens, two ducks, and two geese. I also got twenty pounds each of beef and mutton. You can take them out after you drive away. See if you need anything else.”
Bai Nuo smiled and rubbed the little system's bald head: "No need, this is enough to last for a while. We can pack another bag of rice and flour. Lao Zhu has been so busy lately that the kitchen at home will probably be empty again in the two weeks I haven't been back."
Once outside the space, Bai Nuo had the little system sit invisible on his shoulder. At this time, most of the people working in the family compound had already left home. Bai Nuo went downstairs and didn't see anyone. He then drove out of the alley from the side.
"Nono, the food, fruit, chicken, duck, fish, meat, and all kinds of eggs in the space are almost overflowing. The three people in the family who consume electricity have been raised for nothing. They are always working except for charging. The food, vegetables, and medicinal herbs in the fields are being harvested one after another. If our space warehouse wasn't so big, it probably wouldn't be able to hold them all by now."
The little system sat on Bai Nuo's shoulder, watching her drive and chatting with her. Its legs swung leisurely and freely, and its tone seemed to be complaining but was actually full of pride.
Bai Nuo smiled and said, "It's okay. If the warehouse space isn't big enough, we can just buy a space warehouse from the Time and Space Mall. Anyway, we have plenty of points, so we're not afraid of building more. When we run out, we can go to the Antique Warehouse and pick out a couple of ugly ones to exchange for points."
We're in Beijing now, so it's not a good time to deal in black market goods. We're not afraid of being caught, but the items we have could affect the flow of goods in Beijing's black market. We wouldn't be afraid of doing this in Liaoning Province, but not in Beijing. Any little movement will attract the attention of the higher-ups, especially with grain, which could directly affect the political situation. We don't need to cause that trouble.
Sending it to my cousin in Liaoning Province wouldn't be convenient. Let's just keep it for now. When the reform and opening up happen, my cousin can open a few chain supermarkets and large shopping malls. We can cooperate with him; he'll be in charge of management and operations, and we'll invest and take shares. Then we can find an opportunity to send our goods over. The once-glorious Wei Family Trading Company will one day reappear in my hands.”
The little system tilted its head, looking at Bai Nuo with confusion: "Nuonuo, you're both a soldier and a police officer now, are you going to go into business in the future?"
"How could that be!" Bai Nuo smiled and glanced at the little system. Since she had nothing else to do, she patiently told it about the Wei family.
