Chapter 32: Beginning the Inventory of Dimensional Supplies

Page 1/3

Zhou Xiaoxiao spread out the densely filled sheet of paper before her.

On it was a unique “Preschool Enlightenment Plan” tailored specifically for An’an, crafted with her expertise as a pediatric nutritionist and an inheritor of traditional Chinese medicine, combined with the most advanced early childhood education concepts from the future.

The plan was divided into five parts:

1. Health and Nutrition Plan.

This was Zhou Susu’s specialty. She meticulously listed the nutritional elements An’an would need at each stage over the coming year, along with corresponding meal plans.

Brain-boosting deep-sea fish oil (available in the space), immune-enhancing probiotics (also stocked), calcium tablets for bone development (also on hand) — everything was arranged clearly and precisely.

Goal: Within one year, to raise An’an into a healthy child with height and weight all meeting standards, robust health, and a hearty appetite!

2. Language and Cognitive Enlightenment.

Zhou Susu pulled from the space a large collection of children’s picture books, literacy flashcards, and sound books that respond when pressed.

She planned a fixed hour each day of “parent-child reading” time, using storytelling and games to expand An’an’s vocabulary and cultivate her language expression skills.

Goal: Within six months, for An’an to hold fluent daily conversations and recognize over one hundred commonly used Chinese characters.

3. Art and Sensory Development.

Painting, playing with clay, listening to music, crafting — these were considered “frivolous” activities in the 1980s. But to Zhou Susu, they were crucial for nurturing imagination, creativity, and aesthetic sensibility.

The watercolor pens, clay, and children’s instruments stocked in the space would last An’an a long time.

Goal: To help An’an find at least one artistic hobby she loves and boldly express her emotions and ideas in various ways.

4. Social and Emotional Development.

This was the most challenging and critical part. Zhou Susu planned that upon arriving in the capital, she would not rush An’an into kindergarten. Instead, she would first take her to parks and youth centers crowded with children, letting her start with “observation” and gradually encouraging her to try making “one-on-one” friends.

She also retrieved a set of highly popular future children’s books on emotional management, such as “My Little Emotion Monster.” She wanted to teach An’an how to recognize her feelings and properly express anger, sadness, and joy.

Goal: To teach An’an to actively engage with others and handle her negative emotions correctly, becoming a strong-hearted, sunny, and cheerful child!

5. Life and Self-Care Skills.

Dressing herself, eating independently, tidying toys — Zhou Susu believed fostering independence was the first step in building confidence.

She wanted An’an to understand she was not a helpless little child, but a capable and wonderful one.

An’an looked at the unfamiliar words on the paper and at the cute simple illustrations her mother had drawn alongside — like a little figure brushing teeth by herself, another putting on shoes — with a somewhat puzzled expression.

“Mommy, if I do all this, will I become smart?” she asked in her soft, childish voice.

“Yes,” Zhou Susu kissed her forehead, her eyes full of love and hope. “Not only smart, but also the happiest, bravest, and best little girl.”

“Mommy will always be with you.”

Looking at the small girl in her arms, who seemed like the most precious treasure in the world, her heart brimmed with boundless motivation.

For this child, she was willing to give everything.

She not only wanted to make sure An’an was well-fed and warmly clothed but also to give her the best and brightest future.

But to achieve all this, relying solely on Lu Zhan’s allowance and that “dowry money” was far from enough.

She needed money.

Lots and lots of money.

Zhou Susu’s gaze fell to the back of the paper.

Behind An’an’s “growth plan” was a money-making plan she had drafted for herself.

It was the first time she had systematically and seriously inventoried the “billions of resources” in her vast space and pondered how to convert these futuristic assets into the capital she needed.

Imported snacks, coffee, high-end seasonings from the food section…

Luxury skincare, cosmetics, perfumes in the personal care section…

Trendy ready-to-wear clothing and fabrics in the apparel section…

Various special-effect medicines and health supplements in the pharmaceutical section…

And in the bookstore, the “wealth codes” recording decades of future economic trends, technological developments, and fashion…

Looking at the dense notes she had written, Zhou Susu felt her blood beginning to boil.

She knew she possessed more than just a space.

…

Late at night, the house was quiet.

An’an was already asleep in her little bed, dreaming sweet dreams.

Lu Zhan had not yet returned, having gone to a temporary meeting at the regiment headquarters.

Only Zhou Susu remained at home.

This was her best opportunity.

She locked the door from the inside, drew the curtains, then focused her mind.

In the next moment, she vanished from the modest 1980s bungalow.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself inside a brightly lit, spotless modern shop.

— Her “Fortune Shop” space.

Since her time travel, although she had been using items from the space as needed, she had never taken the time to thoroughly and systematically inventory her “little treasury.”

Tonight, she decided to conduct a complete “asset audit.”

Standing in the center of the shop, she looked around with an indescribable surge of pride.

This was no mere shop!

It was clearly her greatest confidence and stronghold in this unfamiliar era!

This space had been rented before her time travel as a “front store with rear warehouse” large shop intended for her private kitchen.

The front was a finely decorated shop of about three hundred square meters, which she had transformed into a hybrid “supermarket and bookstore.”

The back was a nearly thousand-square-meter massive warehouse, neatly categorized and filled with carefully stockpiled supplies.

“All right, let’s start from the supermarket section!” Zhou Susu rubbed her hands, like a soon-to-be wealthy young lady, proudly pushing a shopping cart as she began her “inventory journey.”

First stop: Food and snacks area.

Before her eyes were three full rows of shelves, dazzling with all kinds of “divine snacks” only available in the future.

On the left was the potato chip section — Lay’s, Calbee, Pringles… from original to cucumber flavor, from tomato to barbecue, all fully stocked.

In the middle, the candy and chocolate section — Dove, Ferrero, Lindt, Alps, White Rabbit, various brands and flavors enough to make any sweet tooth swoon with happiness.

On the right, the biscuit and pastry section — Oreos, Chocopies, egg yolk pies, tiramisu, meat floss cakes, all beautifully arranged.

“Tsk, tsk, if I sold these now...” Zhou Susu casually picked up a pack of Oreos, her mind already racing with calculations.
