Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland

Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Quadrangle_1
 

After eating, it was getting late, so Meng Yunhan heated some water for old man Zhao.

“Dad, you should go back to your room and sleep. You must be tired from riding the train for several days. Have a good sleep tonight, and we’ll go look for a house tomorrow.”

Old man Zhao, of course, had no objections. He handed over Little Huzi to Meng Yunhan and went back to his room.

After a day’s search, Meng Yunhan finally found a decent house. Most houses at the time were siheyuan courtyard-style homes.

There were two to three families living in this siheyuan. Apart from a somewhat inconvenient lavatory, everything else was fine.

Meng Yunhan went out to shop.

Her space came in handy at this time.

She took out grains and other food directly from her space, as well as some vegetables, and even bought a couple of chickens that laid eggs, along with some dishes and chopsticks.

“Hanhan, why did you bring chickens home?”

Meng Yunhan put down the groceries, accepted the warm water old man Zhao handed her, and began to drink.

“I heard that these chickens lay eggs, so I bought them for Little Huzi to eat.”

Upon hearing about the laying chickens, old man Zhao started setting up a place outside the house to keep them. After all, sometimes it was hard to buy chickens.

Meng Yunhan helped tidy things up, glancing at her son sleeping on the bed.

“Wait a moment, I need to go out and buy a coal stove.”

That was going to cost a fair bit.

Meng Yunhan left the house again. While she had been shopping earlier, she had taken notice of the black market. Now, she was heading out to sell things.

Of course, she disguised herself a little.

Winter in Kyoto was, indeed, quite cold. She wrapped a cloth around her head, leaving only her eyes visible. As long as she spoke with a nasal tone, no one would recognize her.

There were no surveillance cameras in those days.@@novelbin@@

So, Meng Yunhan sold several hundred pounds of rice and dried noodles at a reasonable price.

Then she went to buy a stove.

She just didn’t know where to buy coal, as it seemed every household had a quota.

She could only buy a gas cylinder and stove instead. As for the stove, she could burn wood in it until she managed to buy coal briquettes.

Meng Yunhan kept making trips back and forth from the house, carrying various items, which made old man Zhao a bit heartbroken.

But all these things were necessary.

“Dad, I couldn’t find any coal briquettes, so I bought a gas cylinder and stove.” The gas cylinder was, of course, delivered by someone else.

Now that she had brought everything back home, Meng Yunhan started cooking.

Finally, their family was able to eat a home-cooked meal in Kyoto.

“I saw a cart earlier. I’m going to chop some bamboo nearby to make one for Little Huzi. Later, we just need to find a few wheels.”

“That’s what I was thinking too. A baby carriage would make things easier. Little Huzi weighs over 20 pounds now.” Holding him for too long was tiring.

“It looks simple to me. I think I can finish it in two days. People in Kyoto are so clever, they even thought of making children’s cars.” Old man Zhao marveled.

“Then, I’ll draw the blueprint. We’ll make a smaller one. That children’s car we saw was a bit large.”

Old man Zhao agreed firmly, “Alright, let’s make a smaller one.”

At the Magic City military base.

“Captain Yunhao, please report to the office. Captain Yunhao, please report to the office.”

With the broadcast, Yunhao patted the dust off his clothes and headed to the office in high spirits.

“Xiaoyun is here. Your wife called just now. She’ll call back in ten minutes.” Commissar Gu said, and then teased, “Xiaoyun, your wife has only been away for two months, right? She’s already made several calls.”
