Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 24 - 0 Outshined by His Dad

——————

"Old Xie, you're up!"

After sending off a few older kids to school, Zhang Shan Ni just got back to the kitchen and saw Xie Tiesheng and Xie Jingchen sitting opposite each other eating breakfast. She happily greeted the elder first, without even giving Xie Jingchen a glance, and excitedly went to the small pot to pick up the spicy and sour potato strips she made after Mrs. Xie left.

It was because of this dish that the three boys had their bellies full before grabbing their backpacks and heading off. She followed them all the way, worried until she saw their faces only showing satisfaction without any signs of discomfort, then she turned back.

After making it, she purposely divided it into two portions: one for the growing boys as a supplement, and the other for her future in-laws and husband.

"Old Xie, try this with your porridge, it's really appetizing."

Xie Tiesheng looked at Third Son's Wife in surprise, glanced at Third Son gripping his chopsticks tightly, and obediently picked up some with his chopsticks. He was immediately conquered by the refreshingly spicy taste and said with satisfaction, "Indeed, not bad!"

At that time, the spicy and sour taste was not popular locally, and in that era, having food to eat was already good, taste was just the icing on the cake. People pursued filling their stomachs above all.

Therefore, Xie Tiesheng genuinely took the time to taste the special dish Zhang Shan Ni brought. He, being an old man with a preference for strong flavors, found the novel sour and not-too-spicy flavor quite to his liking.

Moreover, how could he, as a father, not understand his own son? Xie Tiesheng glanced somewhat proudly at his third son, savoring his breakfast with pleasure.

Hearing this, Zhang Shan Ni smiled. This gesture from Old Xie made her feel even more a sense of belonging—just like her own dad loved to have that with his porridge in the morning, and now so did Father Xie! It's a pity there wasn't any meat here; with some sliced meat, it would have been even tastier!

She happily watched Old Xie enjoying his meal, only then realizing Mrs. Xie was not around. She turned her head and asked Xie Jingchen, "Brother Chen, where's mom?"

"..." Xie Jingchen widened his eyes, realizing Zhang Shan Ni cared more about his parents than him, he felt a bit stunned. Was this black-skinned girl trying to please the wrong person?

She was too blunt about it, wasn't it? Waited until Old Xie ate almost half the plate of spicy and sour potato strips before she noticed his existence? And realizing his mom wasn't there?

"Your mom went to feed the chickens and pigs, don't wait for her, you better eat quickly and head to the town, today is market day, it will be crowded."

"Okay." Seeing Old Xie gave the order, the starry-eyed, admiring black girl obediently agreed.

Zhang Shan Ni immediately picked up one of the bowls of watery rice and started to drink it up, seeing Xie Jingchen looking at her a bit dazed. She looked down at herself, nothing was off. She looked back puzzled, her face almost spelling out: What's the matter?

"Cough." Xie Jingchen suddenly snapped back to reality, lowering his head to drink his porridge.

He would absolutely not admit it, was he outdone by his old man? Yes!

His wife was actually decisively pleasing his dad, not him, her husband! orz... What a failure.

Zhang Shan Ni saw that he had nothing to say, and didn't care much about it; the porridge had cooled down, and she drank it quickly.

After all, she was very hungry early this morning, and since her body was still in the development stage, she secretly ate two marinated eggs and a small piece of pig trotter from her Space. These were food items she had stored in large quantities in her Space in her previous life. Since her Space remained unchanging where things didn't spoil, she had prepared a lot of ready-to-eat food and placed them in one area, so she could immediately have something to eat whenever she was hungry.

Thus, her stomach wasn't very hungry; after drinking just two bowls, she went to tidy up the stove and wash the dishes. Behind the kitchen door, she saw several cloth bags, picking two relatively larger and sturdier ones to pack up, ready to take them out when she left the house.

Just before seven o'clock, both of them left the house, still using the back door. Mr. and Mrs. Xie also knew about their son's fighting power; Qing Mountain is a small mountain, though connected to Daqing Peak, there really weren't any big wild animals.

Even wild boars had not been seen for several years, so they were not worried at all about the two taking the trail. Besides, they knew Zhang Shan Ni knew the way, which made them even less worried!

Although the original owner had never been to the town, she only knew that walking the main road took half an hour, which was calculated starting from Shanglin Village. It took about half an hour just to get from Qingfeng Village to Shanglin Village. To really take the main road, it would take at least an hour for the two!

That would just be a waste of time!

Using the main road, the original owner had never properly been to the town, but she was very familiar with the mountain trail! Do not look at her as a young girl; when she was extremely hungry, she didn't care about fear, with a daring little figure, she would bravely grab a woodcutting knife and head up the mountain to hunt wild game to fill her stomach.

Of course, the original owner still knew to avoid people.

Above Qingfeng Mountain is the Qingyun Mountain range, the mountain connects to the borders of Shanglin Village and Old Lin Village. In front of the mountain lies a vast field belonging to Qingshan Team; all along the way, there are boundless fields. To go around these fields and pass through Qingyun Mountain gets you to the town, which is called Qingyun Town.

Chasing horses by the mountain, it looks close but is actually far when walking. Qingyun Town lies on the other side of the Qingyun Mountain range. The town's permanent population is about 50,000, and it's still called a commune. However, the trading of tickets isn't strict anymore, except for special industrial goods which still require tickets, many items can be bought in the black market with some silver — perhaps a bit pricier than state-run stores, but with better service and choice of goods, comparing it to the service attitude of state-run stores is like day and night!

Through the original owner's memory, Zhang Shan Ni took Jingchen on the mountain path, not only because it was a shortcut and time-saving, but also because she wanted to hunt some wild game for trade in the black market.

Over these years, the original owner had climbed Qingyun Mountain countless times, and Jingchen had also grown up walking in the mountains since childhood; the two were truly a great match—

Zhang Shan Ni used her spiritual power to cheat, sensing all movements within a hundred meters. She didn't do much, as long as it wasn't a large and highly intelligent creature, she could use her spiritual power to encompass it for a minute; any longer, and she would easily get tired. In reality, she didn't need a minute, just a few seconds to make a bit of noise would suffice.

At that moment, when Jingchen heard the noise, he immediately collaborated to kill using a military dagger. Originally, Zhang Shan Ni was truly using a stone to kill, but who knew Jingchen would react so effectively, not even waiting for her move, he flashed like silver light and swiftly charged forward!

After about half an hour, both of them had hunted enough to fill two bags of game, and Zhang Shan Ni satisfactorily retracted her spiritual power. At this time, her complexion also looked slightly off, but because her skin was dark, one wouldn't notice unless they looked closely.

This is also why black and ugly people can't be the 'white lotus'!

If someone is ugly and dark, who would look at them. Without anyone looking, who cares what expression you have... It's a vicious cycle, so if one is ugly, they ought to be content.

Oh, thinking too far. Seeing Jingchen walking back, Zhang Shan Ni hurriedly retracted her spiritual power, not daring to cheat any longer.

Really, in just this short period of time, both had caught quite a bit of prey. If she continued to cheat, it would clearly expose something improper.
