Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 90 Ink Jade
"These tickets must have been left by Xiao Ning."

Granny Yan took the ticket and other items from her daughter-in-law's hand. It was unlikely that her daughter would give Youyou such large items.

"Then, what should we do? Send it back to Xiaoning?"

Only the brigade leader's family in the team had a bicycle, so it would be a lie to say that Qian Hongmei wasn't tempted by the bicycle and radio tickets.

My eldest son, Yan Wen, is sixteen this year. At seventeen, he should be able to find a girlfriend and get married in another year or two.

With these two essential items, even the team leader's daughter would dare to put in the effort and have the confidence to do her best.

However, despite being tempted, she wasn't so shallow as to take advantage of a young girl who was both her savior and her lover.

Even if yesterday's two meals consisted of rice and meat, it wouldn't even amount to a fraction of the cost of these two tickets!

"Keep it for now. Judging from what Da Xi said, Xiao Ning and her brothers will most likely come back together for the Mid-Autumn Festival. We'll find an opportunity to return it to her then."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Qian Hongmei nodded without hesitation, spreading out the remaining bills in her hand. "These things?"

"It must have been Xinwa's idea that Youyou gave it to. Take it. As for Xiaoning's ten yuan, take it with this ticket."

……

The two people who had successfully arrived at their stop and disembarked walked out of the Gushi Bus Station.

Luo Shuangshuang had to rush to the department store because she had to go to her afternoon shift later.

Still worried, he handed her the meat his uncle had given him and asked repeatedly, "Ning Baogai, are you sure you can handle this by yourself? Am I really leaving?"

"Absolutely, you should hurry up and go, or you'll miss lunch at the cafeteria."

"Okay, I'll be going now~"

After she walked away, Su Ning carried the 20-30 jin (approximately 10-15 kg) hind leg meat to a secluded spot and quickly stored it in her spatial storage.

Since she had some free time after arriving at Beizheng Street, she decided to visit Xiao Qu again.

The last shipment of grain wasn't much; I estimate that the grandfather and grandson's several grain bins are almost empty.

Furthermore, she also wanted to visit scrap yards and flea markets to see if she could find a batch of handy carving tools.

Since the jadeite rough stones at the bottom of the spring have such magical effects, she still needs to practice her carving and polishing skills.

Even if these jade pieces are not suitable to be given away after the experiment, she can carve a few styles that she likes and wear them herself.
Thinking of this, Su Ning subconsciously reached into her pants pocket. She had already figured out the uses of the blue and purple jadeite, and today she had brought the black jadeite with her.

If one day isn't enough, try taking care of them for several days in a row; eventually, you'll figure them all out.

Although it's a clumsy method, it's the simplest and most direct.

Passing by the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, I thought for a moment, then turned and stepped inside.

"Excuse me, excuse me! Sorry, comrade, you're in a hurry, please let me through!"

Upon hearing this, she instinctively turned to the side and took several steps back, glancing at the people who were still crowding towards the counter, their bodies laden with bags and packages.

Judging from her clothes and the amount of daily necessities she bought, she must be a newly arrived educated youth preparing to be sent to the countryside.

Meeting her smile, which was a mixture of apology and gratitude, Su Ning returned the smile.

"Thanks, comrade!"

"Ouch, watch out!"

Two voices rang out, one after the other.

Sensing something was wrong, she immediately turned around and saw that she had retreated to a corner where goods were temporarily stored in order to avoid them.

The large snakeskin bags piled up above her head, their contents unknown, were about to fall down on her.

"Boom~"

There was no time to react at all, but strangely, one or two large snakeskin bags that slid down and fell seemed to automatically avoid her, grazing her body at an extremely close distance.

"Click——"

At the same time, an almost inaudible cracking sound came from her pants pocket.

"My goodness, little girl, are you alright?"

"Comrade, how are you? Did you get hurt anywhere?"

"What happened? Who piled things up here and injured someone? Who's responsible?!"

"Oh dear, this woman is really lucky; she almost got buried in there!"

With such a commotion, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative rushed over immediately.

Upon discovering that the near-accident was due to their negligence, they sincerely bowed and apologized to Su Ning and the crowd, then immediately arranged for the goods to be disposed of. After thanking those who showed concern and inquired, and declining the supply and marketing cooperative director's suggestion to go to the hospital, Su Ning walked away from the crowd with a cryptic expression.

No one knew that when danger struck, she, who looked terrified, actually felt an inexplicable peace and tranquility inside.

It's... that indescribable feeling.

"Are you alright, comrade? What do you need to buy?"

The sales clerk had witnessed the scene clearly, and it was she who suddenly spoke up to remind them.

Seeing that the young girl still seemed a bit dazed, he assumed she was too frightened to react and asked in a rare gentle tone, his voice lowered a few octaves, "Comrade?"

"Oh, I'm fine, thank you. Do you still have malted milk powder and tinned cookies?"

Yes, yes, we have some. How much do you want?

"A box of malted milk powder, a box of biscuits, a pound of fried dough twists, two pounds of steamed egg cakes, and a bag of brown sugar."

Su Ning pulled out her money and grabbed her things, bracing herself against the burning gazes from behind, and quickly walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

She didn't know why, but she had a gut feeling that her safety and the strange feeling in her heart were related to that piece of black jade.

Right now, she is eager to prove whether her idea is correct.

Arriving at a quiet, deserted alley, I slipped into the space behind the corner wall.

He quickly placed what he was holding on the stone table in the courtyard, then took out the black jade from his trouser pocket and examined it carefully.

A crack suddenly appeared on the smooth black jade surface, and the color lost its luster and translucency, appearing somewhat dull.

He touched the crack with his fingertips, "The ancients said that black jade could ward off evil and bring peace..."

The black jade that has been passed down is usually made into jade plaques or pendants for protection.

She didn't know if the other protective jade amulets were effective, but the jade from the bottom of the spring... it really could ward off evil and bring good fortune.

Unconsciously rubbing the jade in my hand: This black jade is quite suitable as a gift for close relatives and friends.

After all, it's a common belief that jade has a spirit and black jade can ward off misfortune and ensure peace, so if something really happens, people won't make any other connections.

"pretty good."

A little over a month should be enough time for her to learn basic jade carving and polishing, right?
I just don't know if the function of this piece of black jade in warding off disaster is a one-time use, or if it will crack and break completely after each ward.

He picked up the black jade with two fingers and brought it close to his eyes. Judging from the size of the crack and the slightly dimmed luster, the latter guess was more likely.

The exact number of times will become clear in the future.

After putting the black jade back into his pocket, Su Ning turned and went to the underground storage room.

This time, she not only packed a 20-jin bag of rice for the Qu family, but also some peanuts, mung beans, and soybeans.

Yesterday's "good luck" that I stumbled upon by Ziyu at the foot of Baoshan Mountain was all put in the kitchen. I picked out a large wild pheasant and a fat rabbit, plus a basket full of wild duck eggs. That should be enough.

They are old and young; if they don't eat nutritious food, I'm really afraid that the future scenario will repeat itself, and they will be gone before they can live to see the person they long for.

Suning took out a basket, stuffed everything inside, and then carried the basket out of the space.

……

Last time I came, it was dark and the road was hard to remember, but thanks to my excellent memory, I still managed to find the Qu family's house smoothly.

"Sister Ning!"

Qu Hui, who ran to open the door, saw a bright light flash before her eyes, "Grandma, it's Sister Ning here!"

"Ningning is here?!"

Huang Shufen, who was still in the house taking care of the old man, immediately left him and hurriedly went out of the room.

He had already entered the courtyard and was talking to Xiao Qu when he put down the basket that was pulling hard on his shoulders.

"Why did you bring so much stuff with you?"

Seeing the items she was taking out of the basket one by one, Huang Shufen's smiling face immediately turned serious. "Ningning, no, this won't do!"

The young girl has only been in Gushi for a short time, and her salary is probably not even enough to cover these expenses. Her mother doesn't have the nerve to accept these things once or twice.

After she passed away last time, her husband discussed it with her. Although he sincerely hoped that things would turn out as she said, there was a high probability that their son's fate was still unknown and there was no news of him.

These things are just being used in his name to better help them.

If that's really the case, then they can't just pretend they don't know anything and accept it; wouldn't that be deceiving such a kind-hearted girl?

"Ningning, stop talking, we know everything."
