Chapter 036
"Old Hong, I'm here to bring you food." Annie carried a rice bag and came down from the west easily, carrying a hare in her other hand.
"Bao girl, are you back?" A singular old man in his sixties walked out of a yellow mud thatched hut.
When he saw Anne, he was a little surprised. Especially when he saw the food on her shoulders, a smile appeared on her firm face.
"It's really time for you to come back. The food you left behind last year was eaten up two days ago, and we old guys were still worried about going hungry."
The energetic old man, that is, Mr. Hong, who was in Annie's mouth, took the rice bag, held it in his hand and weighed it, and smiled, "That's right, I should be able to hold on until the summer harvest."
"Is it the girl Bao coming?" Another old man who was about the same age as Mr. Hong walked out of the house, but he looked gentle and elegant, obviously looking like a scholar.
"Professor Lan, Mr. Hong, can you stop calling me Baoyao? Those who don't know would think that your two names are Xue Baochai." Annie rolled her eyes and said helplessly.
"Oh, Baoyao also caught a hare, haha, I can finally get a meat dish today." Old Hong seemed to have not heard Annie's protest and handed the rice bag to Professor Lan, and saw the hare in Annie's hand at a glance.
"Fatty Du, why don't you come out quickly, it's time for you to show your skills." Mr. Hong shouted excitedly.
"Fatty Du? Old Hong, is there a newcomer?" Annie was very cautious. She was willing to help these decentralized "bad elements" within her ability, but she must not implicate herself.
Professor Hong and Professor Lan were sent to Anjiabao in June last year. Annie also carefully tested it several times before gradually getting into relationships with these two people.
"Don't worry, Fatty Du is just a chef. Because his ancestors were imperial chefs and were reported by his enemies, he was sent here. He knows the importance of it." Professor Lan said softly.
Anne is cautious, why aren't they the same?
The series of accidents last year were like nightmares, relatives plotted against each other, and couples turned against each other. They had experienced too many betrayals. If they were not a friend of life and death, they risked their lives to get them to Anjiabao, they would either be tortured to death or could not stand the humiliation and ended themselves. Just like many of their comrades and classmates!
With such a tragic experience, they were more careful than anyone else.
When Anne came here, her intention was obvious and she wanted to exchange things with them.
Anne had food, and she also had cotton coats and quilts to keep warm. Mr. Hong and his friends had money (or valuable things) and bills, but they had no food or bedding and clothes.
In order to show that he did not give preferential treatment to those bad elements, Andewu threw it directly into the West Mountain wasteland, whether it was the first rightist or the subsequent Black Five.
I gave me a few rations, seeds and simple farm tools, so I stopped caring about them and let them "reliance themselves".
Of course, Andewu would still secretly send some food and bedding to avoid starving and freezing these intellectuals, and come to see them from time to time.
In fact, Andewu was really worried. Those people basically survived from the old society, and even those with wealthy families had suffered.
They are not afraid of hardship at all, they are afraid of being discriminated against and trampled upon.
Anjiabao seems cold, but for bad guys who have seen more tragic scenes, it is already a rare Pure Land.
Therefore, after a brief panic and uneasy, the rightists quickly adapted to the life of land reclamation. Except for the fact that there was no harvest in the first half of the year and had been hungry for a few days, the other time was still very good.
Mr. Hong, Professor Lan and others also followed this example.
However, Professor Lan was injured when he came, needed medicine and fine grain. As a brother-in-law who came with him, Mr. Hong did not want him to die.
At this moment, Annie bumped into it and replaced a Swiss gold watch worn by Mr. Hong with ten kilograms of flour, five kilograms of millet and some trauma medicine.
With this contact, it is convenient to make a transaction from time to time.
From childhood to adulthood, the relationship between the two parties has changed from strangeness to intimacy. In just two months, Annie became a person that Professor Lan and Mr. Hong trusted more.
After all, it's soft-hearted.
And Annie is not without gains. The tractor she built for the village was actually done by Mr. Hong.
Thinking about it, Mr. Hong was able to escape under such a chaotic situation and be arranged to be "labor reform" in the provincial capital of J City, which shows his energy.
You should know that there is a military district in J City, and Anjiabao is a military airport ten miles west of it. Although Mr. Hong, a veteran in the army, has been in trouble for the time being, he still has some connections.
"I won't eat your food and rabbits in vain," Fatty Du, who had already lost his skin and bones, looked at Anne and said stiffly, "I can teach you a dish, or keep a book for the time being, and I will return it twice in the future."
"Okay, then please ask Master Du to teach me how to cook." Annie knew that these people who had experienced the disaster were very cautious. If she gave them food without any reward, they would rather starve to death than accept her kindness easily.
It is better to pay money and goods.
"How is the capital?" He hid the food, Old Hong pulled Annie to the inner room and asked in a low voice.
"..." Annie's face suddenly became a little ugly when she recalled the crazy and chaotic scenes, "No, not very good."
Old Hong looked at the direction of the capital city in a slight manner and sighed quietly.
"I have asked the person you asked me for, and I am no longer in the capital." Annie said again.
"It's better not to stay in the capital." Mr. Hong was a little disappointed, but still murmured.
"Professor Lan, I'll help you find out what you asked me to inquire about. Your son divorced, he was sent to Liaodong, and his daughter-in-law took your grandson to remarry."
Professor Lan looked miserable and his lips squirmed, "It's all my fault, yes, I'm tired of the child."
"I have found the box of things you gave me. I have left a few small yellow croakers for your grandson. I think he is very smart and there should be no accident. By the way, your grandson asked me to tell you that he will be fine and wait for you and your son to go back."
"Okay, okay! I knew my grandson was a good child!" Professor Lan's face finally showed a hint of relief.
Then, he solemnly thanked Annie, "Bao girl, thank you for your thanks."
Annie hurriedly avoided and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, Professor Lan, don't do this, I'll give you errands, you've also paid for it." A box of gold, silver and jewelry, which is worth tens of millions in future generations.
And she asked about the system, she could bring back the real world with such gains.
When Annie thought of having such a huge fortune in vain, she felt that she could not help but feel guilty when she just helped Professor Lan run away.
That's why she gave all the gold bars in the box to the boy in the Lan family. It was not that she was generous, but that she wanted to buy peace of mind.
"No, it's not just this. Anyway, I thank you." Professor Lan said sincerely.
The box of jewelry was originally given to Annie. He ate the food sent by Annie, but he never gave money. The box was buried in the deserted house in the suburbs of Beijing. It was her ability to find it. Even if Annie took it away, it was her right. He never expected that Annie would give her grandson gold bars.
Professor Lan thought that with those gold bars, his grandson would be able to live a better life.
"What dish do you want to learn? If you want to learn, bring the ingredients and seasonings to you another day." Fatty Du quickly peeled the hare, washed it, cut it into pieces, and then threw it into the pot to blanch it.
After doing this, he wiped his hands and walked towards Anne with a cold face.
"I like to eat braised pork, why don't you teach me this dish?" Annie said with a smile.
Fatty Du was stunned. He thought Anne would ask him to teach Du's secret recipe dishes, but unexpectedly, she just asked him to teach braised pork. This dish is already a home-cooked dish.
"...Okay, come over with some seasonings such as pork belly and star anise cinnamon." Fatty Du's expression was not that cold, and he said lightly.
Seeing that there was nothing else for a few people, Anne said goodbye and left.
"Old Lan, Mr. Hong, you are right. She is indeed a good child." Fatty Du looked at Annie's back and whispered.
"Of course, Baoyao is kind and smart. It is definitely the luck of us to meet her." Mr. Hong said proudly. Looking at his honorable appearance, as if Anne was his granddaughter.
Fatty Du looked down on Mr. Hong's appearance and snorted coldly, "How are you happy? You're not your child!"
Mr. Hong glared, "What's wrong? At worst, I'll ask my grandson to marry Baomei home. In this way, wouldn't she become a member of my Hong family?"
Feng Che, who was lying on the roof of the room, twitched his lips and thought to himself: In order to order food, this old man can even give up his grandson.
Old Hong's ears moved, pretending to go there, and left the house and came to a secluded corner.
"Come out." Mr. Hong suddenly said.
"Grandpa, you are living a good life." Feng Che said slutty words with a cold face.
"Okay, you guys, you actually came here too? By the way, how did you get out?"
"My name is Feng Che now, and I am a educated youth who actively responded to the leader's call."
"Feng? Not bad. When I was doing intelligence in the enemy, I was named Feng Guoan." Mr. Hong talked about the past, and a trace of aftertaste flashed across his face.
"When I was in the capital, I found someone inquiring about our family, so I went to check it out. I found some interesting situations, so I followed me to City J."
Feng Che thought of the information he found, and couldn't help but curl his lips: It's really a fate. The original owner was entangled by a woman named An in his previous life. Unexpectedly, after he came across it, he became interested in a woman named An.
What is this called?
fate?!
...On the other side, Anne went up to the west and prepared to catch another hare.
While she was stroking around, she asked the system, "Since I returned to Anjiabao, I felt a strange feeling, as if I was being stared at. Can you check it for me and see what went wrong?"
"..." The system was silent for a while, and then hesitated, "There is indeed a problem in this small world. Our top-quality system seems to overlap with other systems--"
Annie hurriedly asked, "You mean that this world is also built by another system? What system is it? Will it affect me?"
"This is not sure." The system said slowly, "I don't know what system the other party is, and I don't know if this system will affect you."
"..." Anne was speechless.
The system seemed to feel a little embarrassed and hurriedly said: "Because there are unknown variables in this task, this system decided to increase the difficulty coefficient of this task--"
"Speak of human life!" Anne said gritting her teeth.
"In short, the points of this mission have doubled. Dear, as long as you complete the mission, you can get 6 merit points. If you double the faith value, it will be 12 points." The always-cool system suddenly turned into a funny guy, like a crappy promoter, lobbying hard-
"Dear, with these points, you can not only pay off your debt, but also have 4 surplus. 4 pm, a full 4 pm."
"You must know that in the Tiandao Mall, you can exchange elixirs for bone washing and marrow removal at 1 point, you can exchange elixirs for life-long prolonging medicines, 3 points for merits for various martial arts, unique skills from ancient and modern times, and 4 points..."
The system talked endlessly, trying to arouse Anne's ***.
However, not only was Annie not confused by those magical objects, she became more uneasy and vigilant.
