Li Xianglu boiled some noodles, and after everyone had a bowl of chili oil noodles, the two elders stayed home to play chess, while Li Xianglu decided to go out for a walk. Grandpa warned her for a long time before letting her go.
As soon as Li Xianglu stepped out of the door, she found her mask and put the basket that was hanging on her arm into the Storage Ring, then started wandering aimlessly on the streets.
Remembering she still had some food tickets, she first went to a state-run restaurant and bought twenty big meat buns, then used a thirty-centimeter diameter stainless steel basin to buy five big servings of wontons and stuffed them all into the Storage Ring before happily walking out.

Hearing this, Li Xianglu anxiously looked around, wondering where to find more people to help. Then, as if by some telepathic connection, she actually spotted a familiar figure and excitedly shouted, "Brother Qin!"
