Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend-Chapter 165: Itβs Raining, Disaster Strikes
Gu Jin took the key from Daliβs hand, placed it into the cloth pouch she carried, and handed it to the silent little kid beside her. π³ππ²ππ πππ»πΌπ§π²π₯.πππ¦
Though this series of actions only took a few seconds, many thoughts crossed her mind.
Gu Jin looked up and jokingly said to Liu Quan, "I wonder if Brother Quan deals in food trade?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Quan looked helpless, "I donβt do that, but I do know someone who buys grains."
Gu Jin shook her head with a smile, thinking that now wasnβt the right time, in another month the price of grains could skyrocket.
She didnβt continue the topic and bid farewell to Liu Quan with the keys in hand.
Upon leaving the black market, Gu Jin didnβt take the little kid out of the town; instead, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
They found out that there were very few goods inside, not to mention meat, even rice, and flour were gone.
After buying some oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, Gu Jin finally took the little kid on a bus back home.
The next day, Gu Jin went to the town again. She didnβt bring the little kid, but went alone to the black market, to the deserted courtyard at the innermost part as mentioned by Liu Quan.
She used the key obtained yesterday to open the old lock.
The gate creaked open, revealing an overgrown courtyard with hundreds of bags of rice and flour piled within.
Gu Jin walked into the courtyard, using her Spiritual Power to scan the surroundings to check for any other presence.
Finding nothing amiss, she approached the piles of rice and flour, with a wave of her hands, the small mountain vanished in a blink, all collected into Gu Jinβs storage space.
After finishing, she left the courtyard, locking the gate and depositing the key on the doorstep of Liu Quanβs residence.
She left the black market without notifying anyone, having informed Liu Quan the day before that she would leave the key there and there was no need to meet.
Sitting in the returning bus, a fine drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Gu Jin leaned against the bus window, gazing at the fine rain outside, her heart sinking heavily.
She knew it had begun; the heavy rain was coming, humanityβs disaster had arrived.
Returning to the Gu Family, Gu Jin was already drenched. Just as she stepped into the courtyard, she heard the complaints of her uncle and aunt.
Harvest would come in another month, and it was raining now, surely reducing the grain yields.
The couple sat in the main room, looking displeased at the heavy rain outside.
Seeing Gu Jin, Chen Hong ran to the door, shouting, "Jin girl, where did you go, soaked to the skin, be careful not to catch cold. Thereβs hot water in the kitchen, wipe yourself down!"
"Got it, Aunt!"
Gu Jin called back and pushed open the door to the east wing room.
As she opened the door, she saw the little kid standing at the entrance, handing her a towel.
"Sister Jin, dry yourself off quickly!"
An Mingjiβs voice was urgent, with a clear tone of worry.
Gu Jin smiled as she took the towel from his hand, drying her hair as she walked towards the wardrobe.
She picked out a set of casual sportswear from the wardrobe, holding the clothes with the towel draped on her head, she headed to the washbasin stand and picked up the basin casually.
"Xiao An, Iβm going to the kitchen to wash up, you stay inside the room and donβt go out, the rain outside looks like itβs going to pour."
"Okay, got it."
Gu Jin stepped out, walking along the wall under the eaves towards the kitchen.
When she finished wiping down and changed into fresh clothes, half an hour had passed.
The little kid was still studying, and Gu Jin, while drying her hair, walked towards him, watching him take detailed notes and mark questions in the book, she smiled with an aunt-like pride.
The little kid was very smart, and she felt comforted.
