Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 947: Doesn’t Want to Attract Attention

Xinyan didn’t shop in town; some items were only available at the department store in the county, so she decided to buy everything there.

After all, Uncle Shanzi had just returned, and he wouldn’t be leaving Malan Town anytime soon. Her grandparents had always lived a luxurious life, and she wanted them to be comfortable.

When she arrived, there were still seats available on the bus. She quickly found a place to sit down and started calculating what she needed to buy in her mind.

The buses at that time were still all publicly owned, so there was no situation where they wouldn’t leave on time or yell to pick up passengers along the way.

As soon as the departure time came, the driver got on the bus.

The conductor shouted, "Everyone, sit tight."

As soon as she finished speaking, the bus started moving. She stood up to close the door and sat back down, shouting symbolically out the window, "Anyone else going to the county?"

The bus slowly started moving and accelerated after driving fifty meters.

Along the way, if someone flagged the bus down, it would stop. For those who got motion sickness, it was truly unbearable.

Sure enough, when someone ahead waved, the bus had just stopped when a girl in the back couldn’t take it anymore and vomited on the bus.

It wasn’t just those nearby who were affected; even Xinyan, seated a few rows away, found it unbearable. The smell was truly hard to describe.

Xinyan thought to herself that she should find another way to return next time; she was worried it would affect her again.

Finally arriving at the county, Xinyan hurried off the bus. The moment she breathed in the fresh air, she felt alive again.

She regretted sitting on the aisle side instead of by the window, which made her quite uncomfortable. If it weren’t for the Space Stream Water, just hearing the "urp, urp" sounds from behind would have been torture enough.

Without delay, Xinyan headed straight for the department store.

In Beijing, she had already taken stock of the items in the space.

During a previous southern procurement trip, she would buy suitable household items for storage in the space.

She had already organized whatever she could use.

Blankets, sheets, and toiletries were all available in the space, so she didn’t need to buy those.

After circling the department store, she bought three ready-made bedding sets for emergencies. She thought of taking some cotton and cloth from the space for Granny Zhang to make a few thicker quilts. Winters in East Province were really cold, and she was worried her grandparents wouldn’t adapt, so it was better to be prepared.

She had originally wanted to buy a television, but then worried that too many curious onlookers would gather, disturbing their peaceful life, so she dismissed the idea, thinking she would discuss it with them face to face later.

By midday, she had purchased everything she needed.

East Province gets cold early, so refrigerators aren’t very practical, and to avoid drawing attention, she only bought one washing machine for large items, to reduce workload in the winter; after all, Uncle Shanzi was strong.

After purchasing everything, Xinyan found He Jinxuan’s comrade’s younger brother, who had been introduced to her by He Jinxuan on a previous visit, in case she needed help.

And indeed, she did need help.

At first, the man didn’t recognize Xinyan.

Xinyan felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Hello, Comrade Jiang Rongqing, I’m He Jinxuan’s fiancée; we met briefly once before."

Jiang Rongqing slapped his forehead, "Oh, it’s you, sister-in-law. I apologize!"

Actually, the first time they met, it was too dark to see clearly, and with He Jinxuan’s domineering behavior, Jiang Rongqing didn’t dare look closely at Xinyan, so he hadn’t really seen what she looked like. With so much time having passed, it wasn’t surprising he didn’t remember.

Now, seeing her clearly, he couldn’t help but think to himself: No wonder she wasn’t allowed to be seen; sister-in-law is so beautiful.

Once he regained his composure, he asked a bit bashfully, "Sister-in-law, what brings you here today?"

Xinyan quickly explained her request.

After listening, Jiang Rongqing asked, "Sister-in-law, why didn’t you come to me earlier?"

Xinyan laughed and said, "I really didn’t want to trouble you, but things didn’t go as planned, and now I really need your help."

If the department store clerk hadn’t told her the goods couldn’t be delivered today, she wouldn’t have come to bother anyone.

The department store had home delivery service for large items, provided you paid for the transportation, which Xinyan didn’t mind.

But the clerk said they could only deliver tomorrow morning, not today, as they only did one trip per day and wouldn’t make a separate delivery just for her.

Xinyan thought it would be best if the goods could be delivered today, arriving at home just as it got dark, to avoid drawing attention with too much activity.

Also, Uncle Shanzi and her grandparents were arriving in the next few days, and she wanted to have everything settled before they got there.

Jiang Rongqing replied, "Sister-in-law, just wait a moment, I’ll go talk to someone about it."

Xinyan knew that this wouldn’t be too difficult for Jiang Rongqing, which is why she sought him out.

She was planning in her mind how to invite them for dinner once she got home and give some southern fruits from the space as a thank-you gift; after all, she couldn’t let them help for nothing.
