Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Seeing someone and showing three-part smile_1
“Yes, sir.” Having conducted business for so many years in her previous life, Meng Yunhan knew that a welcoming smile would leave a good impression on others.

“Proceed then.” She smiled and entered the place.

Inside was a large warehouse, but it was rather messy.

Meng Yunhan didn’t seem to mind. She bent down and started to search, sneaking a glance at the elderly man in a small house outside. Seeing that he had gone back into his room and stopped paying attention to her, she started sorting with a divided focus.

When she found unique items, she put them into her storage space, a skill she had practiced many times at home.

Meng Yunhan selected a few items from the haphazard pile. There were many impressive items in this town, which were already difficult to come by.

It would be best to visit the county town once.

But she could only apply for that opportunity next time.

“Old man, these are all. How much do they cost?” Meng Yunhan handed the books she had picked out to the elderly man guarding the gate to evaluate.

He glanced at them and waved his hand, “You don’t need to pay. If you feel obligated, just bring me a pound of liquor next time.”

Meng Yunhan readily agreed, “All right, I’ll bring it to you when I come to town next time.”

The old man tied up the books for Meng Yunhan, who thanked him and left with her findings.

“If my son hadn’t left, he could’ve married by now. This girl is indeed beautiful.” The old man lamented.

Meng Yunhan found a secluded area to put the books into her storage space. Then, she headed to the supply and marketing co-op to buy some yarn for herself.

Some items in the co-op required both ration coupons and money, but for some less common things, no money was involved.

Like this yarn.

Few people usually bought it.

So, Meng Yunhan bought five pounds in one breath. These could be used to knit two sweaters, but since these items didn’t require coupons, they were naturally a bit expensive.

After buying the items, Meng Yunhan headed for Qingzhao village on foot.

Even though she had had a few days to recover, her physical strength still couldn’t match a man’s. So when she returned home, it was already past one o’clock.

“You’re back.” Seeing a thin layer of sweat on Meng Yunhan’s forehead, Yunhan’s mother brought out the food from the pot for her.

“Thank you, Mom.”

While eating, Yunhan’s mother continued making shoes.

“What’s that?”

“These are books I found at the salvage station, not many. I’ll ask the village chief to take a trip to the county in a few days to see if I can get more. Then, the children can have books without having to buy them.”

Meng Yunhan knew that in these days, many people were trying to stretch their pennies. After the tuition fees, some books and notebooks were reused, and the latter could only be used twice at most.

“That’s a good deed.” The village teacher also used to go to the salvage station to find books. The more Yunhan’s mother looked at Meng Yunhan, the more satisfied she felt. She was someone who knew how to make a living.

Previously, at fifteen or sixteen, she was alone in this unfamiliar place, which could make people defensive.

Having finished her meal, Meng Yunhan tidied up and bade farewell to Yunhan’s mother before going back to her room.

She was ready to visit her storage space and see what good stuff she had found at the salvage station that day.

Once she had closed the door, she couldn’t wait to enter her storage space.

Looking at these odds and ends, she arranged them one by one and put them neatly in the thatched cottage.

She was so happy that she was all smiles.
