Chapter 3
Qi Huan eagerly tore open the delivery box, unwrapped the old newspapers packed tightly inside, and surprisingly found cabbages inside!
In her previous life, in order to save money, she had often bought fruits and vegetables from group buying websites, so seeing these cabbages made her feel a sense of intimacy.
Most importantly, there would be fresh vegetables to eat!
Happily, Qi Huan put the cabbages back into the box and dragged it behind the firewood pile to hide for the next meal.
Afterwards, she dusted off her hands and headed to the toilet, following the original owner's memories. Yet she was shocked by the simple toilet facility in front of her.
What's more astonishing was that there was no toilet paper, only a few small wooden planks that served as toilet tokens.
Qi Huan had no choice but to take the newspapers used to wrap the cabbages in the delivery box to use first. She secretly made up her mind to work hard to earn points and order delivery items as soon as possible, especially toilet paper!
In order to earn points, before noon the next day, she was already peeking to see if Yan Qinghe had arrived.
When she saw Yan Qinghe appear in her line of sight, it was as if she saw walking points waving at her.
When Yan Qinghe was right in front of her, Qi Huan held up the cabbages on the cutting board, showing them off, "There are cabbages to eat today!"
"How do you have such big cabbages?!" Yan Qinghe asked in surprise.
"When Doctor Qi unfortunately passed away, you asked Xiu Wen to sell grain to buy him a coffin. We thought you didn't even have food to eat. So every day Xiu Wen asked me to bring you meals."
As he spoke, he scratched his head awkwardly, "I originally wanted to repay Doctor Qi for helping treat A Shu's leg. I didn't expect that now I have to share your food..."
Realizing that he was about to refuse, Qi Huan quickly interrupted, "I'm also very grateful to you for helping me bury my parents. This food is from my heart. My family still has a cellar... You go start the fire."
As she spoke, she tore off a few cabbage leaves and cut them into even strips.
With yesterday's experience, the two quickly cooked a pot of rice together.
Unlike yesterday, there were some vegetables in today's stewed wontons.
After helping Yan Qinghe pack up the food, Qi Huan couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else I can help with?"
Facing her enthusiasm, Yan Qinghe hesitated.
Seeing an opportunity, Qi Huan pressed on, "I'm idle at home anyway. With no one to talk to, I feel terribly lonely. If there is anything I can help with, please let me know. I would be happy to do something for you."
"To tell the truth, these last few days, the steward has suddenly become stricter. A Shu and I originally didn't need to work, but yesterday they suddenly notified me that I have to go to the logging field too."
Speaking of this, Yan Qinghe sighed, "But I'm really worried about A Shu. His legs are inconvenient. Being alone at home, even getting a cup of hot tea would be difficult for him."
When Qi Huan got home, the System immediately prompted, "Doing good +4, Points +112."
"System, please exchange all of it for me!"
"Alright, host."
Whoosh Whoosh -
Two delivery packages landed in front of Qi Huan.
She picked up the closer one, tore open the package, and found two towels inside.
"Cut one towel in half, use one half to wash my face and the other half to wipe my feet, and save the other towel for bathing."
But in the current environment, bathing could easily lead to death from the cold. She would make plans for that later.
After happily muttering to herself, she looked at the second package. Using a fruit knife, she cut open the tape and unboxed it layer by layer. Inside was an adorable Pikachu thermos.
It was desperately needed for the frigid winter!
"System, I love you!" she exclaimed excitedly.
"Don't love me, there's no future. I'm just a system without emotions... But the host's luck is indeed quite good."
Qi Huan didn't care. She regretfully said, "It's a pity I only got one thermos. If I had gotten another one, I could have given it to Li Shuchen so he could also drink warm water whenever he wanted. That way, I could have gotten an extra hundred points."
The System was silent for a moment before responding, "If the host gets eliminated at the start, I would lose too much face. However, I respect the host's decision... Because I also fear poverty."
Qi Huan also fell silent.
After a while, she added, "We don't need to fret about hypotheticals since I only have the one thermos. I can't bear to give it away for now."
"Host, I forgot to tell you that the System has a repurchase function."
System told Qi Huan, "Host only needs to pay an extra 10% proxy fee to repurchase the same express delivery item you want. This thermal mug costs 80 points. Host only needs to save up another 88 points to own it again."
Qi Huan was shocked, "You are the shadiest proxy buyer I've ever seen. 10% proxy fee, why don't you just go rob someone?"
"Host can also choose not to proxy purchase."
After some careful thinking, Qi Huan gritted his teeth and decided, "Proxy purchase!"
"But Host, your points are currently zero!"
