“Go buy one kilogram of meat. Let’s make dumplings when we get home.”

“Okay!” Su Jin Long held the money in his hands and eagerly ran without knowing he had just been ordered.

More people came over to inquire but when they saw the white furniture, they shook their heads and walked away. The sun was about to set, but they were not able to make more sales.

On the way back home, Su Jiang Hai sat in the front without speaking.

After only selling one piece of furniture, Su Mian knew he was feeling depressed, but everything had a step by step process, “Dad, don’t worry. The villages do not know much about Western furniture. It’s better if we take our time.” Su Mian comforted her father. She thought about how all those people who came to inquire were older people. If they were able to encounter more young people, selling things should be easier.

“I know. I’m thinking that we should make more designs when we return.” Su Jiang Hai continued to drive the cart. He could not help but blame himself for not being as calm as his daughter.

When they made it home, He Qin already prepared the meal. Hearing their voices, she immediately came out.

“Is it cold?” He Qin spoke while pulling on Su Mian’s hand. Su Mian wore woolen gloves and was not cold at all.

On the other hand, He Qin’s hands were ice cold. Su Mian lowered her head and looked that they were red and swollen. Her hands were frostbitten.

The winter temperature was minus 30 degrees Celcius. It was easy to get frostbite if you did not pay attention to protecting yourself. There was no effect now, but once the temperature becomes warmer, it would become painful and itchy. If one becomes used to it, they would have frostbites every year.

He Qin was busy in and out of the house. Her hands would frequently be moist with water. The sheepskin at home was only enough for three people. It was just enough for her husband and children.

She usually did not go out, so she did not need it.

Su Mian did not say anything but felt sorry, wishing that there was some frostbite ointment.

While thinking about this, words appeared in front of her eyes.

You only need 1 kindness point to exchange for a frostbite ointment. Want to exchange? Want to exchange?

This manner of speaking made Su Mian want to vomit blood. Was it acting like a baby towards her?

Can you not read everything in my mind?

Su Mian only had to think for a bit and she could exchange for frostbite ointment. Then she thought to ask for a pair of medical-use scissors!

Just as expected another row of words appeared again.

1 kindness point, want to exchange? But you will also get this as a reward for a future mission, it isn’t worth getting it now!

Su Mian was surprised and happy. She felt that the tower space would even help her consider things.

Su Mian did not hesitate and exchanged for frostbite ointment.

She now had a total of 7 kindness points. After exchanging she now had 6 points left. However, if it was for He Qin, she would not feel so sorry about it.

“Mom, I’m fine. This is for you.” Su Mian gave the remaining 18 eris and the frostbite ointment that randomly appeared from her pocket.

“This is?”

“Frostbite ointment. I bought it for you. Your hands have already frozen. Quickly apply it after going back in. It should be fine after a few days.

“Little Mian…” He Qin looked at the frostbite ointment and did not know what to say.

Little Mian is growing up to be more understanding. Not to mention helping the family earn money, she is now very considerate.

“There is also this!” Su Jin Long carried a kilogram of meat and swayed it in front of He Qin. With glittering eyes, he said, “Mom, I want to eat dumplings!”

“I’ll wrap some tomorrow.” He Qin sniffled. Her children were becoming more understanding. Her days were becoming more full of hope.

After eating, Su Mian entered the tower space once again. The medicinal ingredients she planted yesterday had already sprouted. It had a thin stalk with grain-sized leaves, appearing extremely cute.

Su Mian watered them and began her second mission, to find the small white rabbit.

Su Mian raised her head. The mountain was quite large and its sides could not be seen easily. Finding one small rabbit was not easy at all.

Her eyesight and hearing ability were several times better compared to ordinary people. Two hours had already passed before she found the small rabbit’s traces.

Su Mian ran to the point where she had to gasp to breathe. The small rabbit appeared to be playing hide and seek with her. It bounced and ran a dozen meters ahead of her. When Su Mian ran a bit slower, it would stop and eat the wild vegetation by the side. When Su Mian ran faster, it would continuously make long jumps and maintained a distance from her.

Su Mian felt helpless. She thought that once she catches the rabbit, she would make a stew out of it.

Another two hours passed. Su Mian followed the little rabbit and almost explored the entire mountain. Moreover, the more Su Mian ran the more energized she became as if the wind had appeared under her feet.
