Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 311: Dried Seafood

"Mom, boo hoo... I’ll be good, please don’t leave me."

The little boy held tightly onto Su Xiaoxiao’s leg, crying with genuine emotion.

People around her looked at her with even more complex expressions.

Su Xiaoxiao pressed her brow and hurriedly explained before anyone could speak, "I really don’t know him. If you don’t believe me, look."

She asked the little boy, "Since you say I’m your mom, then tell everyone what’s my name? Who is your dad?"

As expected, the little boy was dumbfounded by the question.

After all, he’s just a child, even when lying, he can’t do it as swiftly as an adult.

Eventually, the little boy was taken away by the train police, and later, the train staff and police conducted a thorough search, successfully finding two more human trafficker accomplices.

Fortunately, they discovered it in time, successfully rescuing three young girls who were nearly taken.

"Comrade, thank you for your help. May I know where you work? We’ll arrange to give you a banner later."

When Su Xiaoxiao took the train back, the train police looked at her behavior with admiration.

If it weren’t for Su Xiaoxiao’s timely actions against the traffickers, who knows how many young girls would have been destroyed by them.

Receiving the honor offered was unquestionable, Su Xiaoxiao immediately and generously told them her workplace.

Unexpectedly, there was a surprising gain on the way home.

She happily got off the train, exhausted from the journey.

Because she missed her stop, she had to take an extra hour-long train ride back, feeling sore all over when she got off.

Luckily, she had the small storage space, so she didn’t have to carry that huge pile off the train.

Otherwise, sitting on a hard seat and carrying such a large load for the whole trip would have worn her out.

At the train station, following the flow of people, she found a quiet spot and secretly retrieved all the dried seafood.

These were packed in a big burlap sack, carried on her back, attracting many glances along the way.

She, slim and slender, carrying such a bulging sack was quite eye-catching.

Just as she reached the entrance, she saw her elder brother Su Wenbing and second brother Su Fusheng waiting there anxiously.

Su Fusheng, sharp-eyed, spotted her and waved excitedly, "Third sis, over here."

While speaking, Su Wenbing also saw her, and the two brothers immediately strode over.

Su Xiaoxiao, carrying her belongings, walked as slow as a snail, while the two moved briskly, soon reaching her.

Seeing the big burlap sack on her back, Su Fusheng looked surprised, "Third sis, did you go on a business trip or go stocking up?"

Both of them had the day off and came to pick her up early.

Su Wenbing hurriedly took the burlap sack from Su Xiaoxiao, "Let me carry it. Why bring so much stuff? Tired, right?"

With someone to help carry the load, Su Xiaoxiao felt relieved.

"The city supply leaders over there thanked me by giving me some things."

Su Wenbing weighed the heavy sack, paused briefly.

This sack must weigh at least twenty-something pounds, is this ’a little’?

Su Fusheng was a step late in trying to take it from his elder brother, seeing Su Xiaoxiao still carrying her shoulder bag, he eagerly offered, "Third sis, I’ll hold your bag."

With not much inside the bag, Su Xiaoxiao was about to refuse, but Su Fusheng had already taken it with enthusiasm.

When the three returned home, Liu Cuilan and the others were in the kitchen preparing lunch.

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao return, she quickly poked her head out from the small kitchen, "Xiaoxiao, rest for a bit, lunch will be ready soon."

Su Xiaoxiao was exhausted from the journey, sitting wasn’t comfortable on this year’s train hard seats.

She responded, walked inside, and sat heavily on the bench.

Su Wenbing and Su Fusheng followed her inside, placing the things aside.

Su Jianwen and Su Jianwu, curious about the commotion, came out from the room and were intrigued by the big burlap sack on the ground.

"Third sister, what did you bring? It smells fishy."

After speaking, Su Jianwu curiously kicked it, feeling the contents were quite hard.

Su Xiaoxiao took a big sip from the enamel mug on the table, then said, "The leader from Haining City’s supply gave me some dried seafood..."

Before she finished, Su Jianwu quickly withdrew his foot, hastily untying the rope around the sack’s opening, seeing it was filled with dried seafood.

Everything from dried abalone, fish fins, dried shrimp, dried ribbon fish, all rare items hard to find here.

Su Jianwu: "..."

He had just kicked such precious dried seafood with his dirty foot? What have I done!

Even Su Wenbing and Su Fusheng were shocked, their eyes wide open when he opened the sack.

This was all precious stuff inside, their third sister certainly had capabilities.

On the way back, they heard, not only did their third sister still receive her salary from the work trip, but even earned several bucks a day as travel allowance.

Over a week, the allowance itself almost matched their monthly wages, not to mention bringing back these rare items.

Just then, Liu Cuilan came in carrying food, seeing the four brothers staring with wide eyes, frowned, "Why are you all gathering here? Go wash your hands for lunch."

Su Jianwu grabbed Liu Cuilan’s sleeve, startling her, almost dropping the plate she was holding.

"Jianwu, what are you doing? You startled me, why so jumpy?"

Just after speaking, she saw the open sack full of dried seafood, immediately stunned.

"Where did this dried seafood come from?"

This seemed like twenty or thirty pounds, their family hadn’t bought so much dried seafood even in three years altogether.

Especially considering these were all sizable rare items.

Su Xiaoxiao, the calmest among them, explained the origin of the items, also mentioning the increased travel allowance given to her.

Upon hearing, Liu Cuilan’s eyes widened further, "Xiaoxiao, did you save that director’s life or something?"

Otherwise, why would they give so much allowance? And all these things?

Su Xiaoxiao touched her nose, initially not considering these items overly valuable, but seeing her family staring at her in shock, she belatedly realized that Director Liu’s gifts were indeed heavy.

No, the next time meeting him, she’d give him a couple more watches.

While thinking this, suddenly, there was an urgent knock on the courtyard door.

Liu Cuilan frowned; normally, anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t come during lunchtime, who was so shamelessly?

"Wenbing, quickly find a place to hide the dried seafood."

No matter who was at the door, hiding the items was a must.

After instructing, Liu Cuilan raised her voice to the door, "Who is it?"
