Chapter 185 Unknown Land
Finally, Li Manping prepared a six-meter-long red cloth, a ten-meter-long dark yellow cloth, a pair of black leather shoes bought in the capital, a thermos bottle and some candies and pastries as wedding gifts to Zhou Qiao.
She didn't know much about weddings in this era, so she didn't know what to give. She could only give something similar to what she had done later.
In the past few years, she had only attended one wedding. As a relative and friend of the man, she followed him to pick up the bride. She did not understand more details of the wedding.
However, she still knew that it was not fashionable to give big gifts now, so she always went out to eat and drink with the gift money. The food on the banquet was common in rural areas and was not very expensive.
The wedding was held in the late spring of 50. It was her cheap master Song Tianlin who married his wife. After he arranged the weddings of his brothers in full swing, on a whim or jealousy, he also married a beautiful widow as his wife and had a wife and children. Hot days on the kang.
At that time, Li Manping was already very rich. Because she had a good relationship with Master Song, her brothers also used their savings to give her a big gift, so she gave her a lot of things.
But they were all given in private, not in front of others.
Thinking of this, she added two more pieces of fabric inside. No matter what, Zhou Qiao was her first good friend in this life.
She didn't say what the future would be like, and she was still doing what a friend should do before they were completely unfamiliar with each other.
After thinking about their relationship clearly, Li Manping left the space. She was not in the mood to take care of the space today, so let's leave it at that.
Lying on the warm kang, listening to the sound of snowflakes falling on the roof outside the window, I fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, after breakfast, Li Manping was ready to set off in the snow, but her uncle stopped her because the snow was soft.
It seems to be flat outside, but once you step down, half of your legs are trapped in the cold snow. There are also some potholes and ditches that have been blown by the strong wind and covered up. As long as people step on them, they will sink to the bottom. The place can easily be completely flooded.
Li Manping is a person who listens to advice, so she didn't argue with her uncle, but she still didn't give up and decided to try it herself to see if the snow had hardened enough to bear her weight.
Shivering, I walked out of the courtyard gate and looked at the world outside which was completely white. Except for the sound of falling snowflakes, the world was silent.
It only took half a day and one night of heavy snowfall, and it felt like the outside had completely changed.
Li Manping walked out of the threshold cautiously, placed a tentative foot on the snow in front of the door, and stepped on it slowly and hard. After hearing a slight squeak, she raised her foot and there were deep footprints under her feet.
Sure enough, there was not enough time. The snow on the road was now fluffy and we could not walk on it. We had to wait for the snow to solidify or clear a path.
"Take your time. Don't rush to your friend's house. Wait a few days. It's been so long anyway, so it doesn't matter if you continue to wait."
Li Yilong advised Li Manping that it is really difficult to travel under the current situation. It is okay to clean the short distance in front of the door, but long distance is impossible.
"Okay, I understand. I will wait at home for a few days until the snow freezes."
Li Manping is not really stupid. She knows she can't do something but still does it when conditions don't allow it. She is not that kind of person.
Since there was no other way, Li Manping went home and lay down again. It was a cold day and there was nothing to do. What else could she do except stay in bed?
Li Yilong was relieved to see that she was honest and would no longer think about taking risks to go out. He was worried that she would lose her temper and not listen to advice and insist on going out. Fortunately, she had always been an obedient person.
Li Manping was lying on the kang out of boredom. It was freezing and snowy outside, and there was nothing good to do to kill time. But she had been lying there for more than a month, and she really didn't want to lie down anymore, so she just wanted to do some activities. Move your muscles.
After hiding in the room and closing the door, Li Manping entered the space. After her consciousness was busy in the space for a while, she came to the traversable jade slab with her dizzy head.
She really wants to try other places!
Even though it was a cold winter in the whole country, she still wanted to see it.
Whatever she wanted to do, Li Manping took a deep breath and went to visit the place. She would be back here in half a day at most.
After comparing on the stone slab, Li Manping chose an unfamiliar place, closed her eyes and reached out to touch that point, and then traveled through it.
In fact, the jade boards are all unfamiliar countries and regions, places she has never set foot in in her two lives, so whether she chooses them carefully or not, they are all the same, and there is no big difference.
When the momentary trance passed, Li Manping found that she had arrived in a strange place through the space wall where she could see the outside world.
It was a quiet space outside, and no movement was seen or heard. It seemed like he was in an empty room.
Li Manping looked around the space and didn't see anything dangerous. There were all big boxes outside, and she didn't know what was inside.
After being mentally prepared, she appeared next to a box. She did not open the wooden box rashly, but reflexively looked around several corners to see if there was any monitoring equipment.
Looking around, there was nothing in the corner. She was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing, and she slapped herself funnyly.
She forgot that the popularity of monitors in China was after the development of computers. It may have been earlier abroad, but maybe not so early. In the 60s and [-]s, everyone was already aware of it, or everyone could use it.
After quickly searching around inside and confirming that it was a safe environment, she could see no machines with similar characteristics. She breathed a sigh of relief and was able to look around.
This is a space that is dozens of square meters larger. There may be people coming in and out frequently, or there may be a ventilation device that she doesn't know about. Anyway, the air inside is not turbid.
Except for the tightly wrapped wooden boxes and wooden shelves on the floor, there were only lamps on the surrounding walls. She looked at them and saw that they were powered by electricity instead of oil, and their appearance was similar to the wall lamps used in China decades later.
She believed that the powerful people in China must have beautiful lamps in their homes, but she had no access to or use them at the moment.
Li Manping wanted to pull out two of them. When she was studying in the capital, she usually saw small round light bulbs, which were not bright enough and were dim.
She was quite attracted to this kind of old-fashioned foreign electric lamp. She could still use it when she took it home and used it when she was alone, so she considered it romantic.
In the end, Li Manping gave up the idea. Imagine how embarrassing it would be for her to go abroad and bring back two lamps that others didn't like!
Even if no one knew about it, she was still unhappy. It was good that she liked exquisite and beautiful things, but she didn't plan to steal them. She wanted to wait for Hua to make the things themselves. By then, she would have seven or eight of them in one room. Guaranteed to look good.
