Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1760: Chapter 1754: Visiting Relatives?

“It’s really you! I thought I was seeing things.” Qin Jiale hadn’t expected them to arrive faster than her. They had all left the school gates together, but while she had simply followed her brother home, they had returned to their own homes and yet somehow showed up here, which was truly surprising.

“Lele, turns out you’re not home yet? Perfect timing then, help us carry these things. We were just wondering how to handle all this!” Guan Xiaojun, who could carry more than most, still couldn’t rely on the group of delicate girls, who were not at her level of strength at all.

“Where are you guys planning to go?” Qin Jiale pointed to the stuff on the ground as she asked. Once she knew the destination, she and her brother could help deliver them directly to the house, saving them from having to carry it all over again.

“To your house.” As soon as Qin Jiale finished speaking, four voices answered simultaneously. It turned out Ye Zishu had brought the supplies back.

“What?! You’re coming to my house and you’re bringing this much stuff? Are you guys kidding me?” Qin Jiale looked at them, feeling a bit exasperated—it made her think they were visiting relatives or something, only to be told they were heading to her house instead. This outcome was a little too unexpected.

“Exactly, we’re going to your house.” The four remained in agreement and nodded uniformly.

“Why are you bringing so much stuff to my house? Are you saying we don’t have rice?” Qin Jiale cast a helpless look at the several bags of rice, and it seemed like there were bags of flour too. Was this basically moving everything from their own homes over?

“Hey, don’t blame us! It was all prepared by our parents. They said since we’re coming over to your place, we’d be causing trouble for your family and couldn’t just eat your rice and grain for free. So they packed up all this for us. Don’t tell me it’s not enough—it’s all I can manage to carry!” Cai Wenzhao, who usually only helped out at the shop and wasn’t used to doing heavy labor, had reached her limit with these loads. Asking for more would truly be impossible for her.

“Am I saying it’s not enough? I’m saying it’s too much. You’ve been to our house; why bring so much stuff? Just wait till my parents have their say about this. Hurry up, help me carry this over—it’s getting dark, and soon we won’t be able to see the road home.” They were still at the village entrance, but the Qins’ house was at the far end of the village, quite a walk away. Plus, once the sun set, night would descend in the blink of an eye.

“Put it all on the back seat; I’ll push it along,” Qin Yu said, looking a bit stunned. His little sister’s classmates sure seemed to come from wealthy families—with how casually they could afford to buy all this, it wasn’t easy. To Qin Yu, these classmates surely had pretty solid financial conditions; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to bring this much high-quality stuff.

It was true—during this period, having rice and grains was considered the best. Many people longed for it but couldn’t get their hands on it. So Qin Yu figured bringing these supplies back would definitely unsettle their parents, but with the people already here and the goods right in front of him, what alternative was there?

“Awesome, that means we don’t have to carry it ourselves,” Guan Xiaojun didn’t hesitate at all. Hearing Qin Yu’s suggestion, she tossed the bags directly onto the back seat of his bike.

“Yep, stack it all up,” Qin Yu said, eyeing the piles of bags, roughly estimating that each weighed about 5 kg. Adding the other bags, there were about 20 kg in total, and with six bags, that amounted to about 60 kg. It really was quite heavy for them to carry.

“Amazing, thank you, handsome!” Guan Xiaojun stacked the bags one by one, and honestly, they ended up quite neatly piled.

“Alright, that’s all of it. Now we can relax,” Xu Shaoqin said, delighted by the unexpected free labor, which saved them a good deal of effort.
