Zhao Youcai ran towards the door in panic, but found Luo Yiyi standing at the door watching the excitement.

"You... Luo... Luo Zhiqing?"

Zhao Youcai widened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him in astonishment. For a moment, he covered his buttocks, feeling embarrassed and at a loss.

Zhao Youcai's mother, Sun Guixiang, had also caught up with him, panting.

She held a thick wooden stick high in her hand and shouted angrily, "Run, you little bastard, why don't you run?

I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

As he said this, he raised the wooden stick and pretended to hit him.

At the critical moment, Zhao Youcai quickly pointed his finger in the direction of the door and shouted, "Mom, Luo Zhiqing is looking for you!"

This sudden sentence successfully attracted Sun Guixiang's attention.

Sun Guixiang turned her head suspiciously and looked towards the door. Seeing that it was Luo Yiyi standing there, she slowly put down the wooden stick in her hand.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhao Youcai slipped into the house like a loach and quickly closed the door.

Luo Yiyi smiled and nodded to Sun Guixiang, pointing to the yard and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, can I come in?"

Sun Guixiang quickly stepped aside to make way and greeted him warmly, "Of course you can, Luo Zhiqing, please come in!"

Luo Yiyi stepped into the yard, his eyes inadvertently sweeping across the tightly closed door, just in time to catch Zhao Youcai hiding behind the door and secretly looking out through the crack of the door.

However, she just smiled and didn't expose it.

Instead, he turned around as if nothing had happened and said to Sun Guixiang, who had just put down the fire stick, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. I accidentally overheard the conversation between you and your son when I passed by the door just now.

Do you have a lot of cabbage and radishes at home? Can you give me some?

Don't worry, I can exchange it for something else, or buy it with money."

Sun Guixiang asked curiously, "Everyone should have plenty of these things at home, why are you buying more?"

Suddenly, Sun Guixiang seemed to remember something and said seriously, "Luo Zhiqing, if you want to sell these things on the black market, I advise you to think it over carefully.

Don't ruin your future for a little bit of profit."

After all, as an educated youth, if Luo Yiyi was caught speculating in the black market, it would be recorded in her file, and she would no longer have the opportunity to return to the city as an educated youth.

Luo Yiyi knew that Sun Guixiang said this out of concern for her, so she accepted this kindness from the bottom of her heart.

Luo Yiyi explained bitterly: "Sister-in-law, you really misunderstood!

You also know that I married into the Gu family and became the wife of Gu Sihan, the second son of the Gu family.

All the cabbages and radishes that the family had worked so hard to grow were taken away by the Gu family, and now only a few sweet potatoes are left.

It's okay to eat sweet potatoes once in a while, but if you eat them every day, it feels like there's a fire in your stomach, and it makes you feel nauseous and heartburned!"

Hearing this, Sun Guixiang slapped her forehead as if she suddenly realized something, and then she remembered that there was such a thing.

Her eyes as she looked at Luo Yiyi were full of pity and sympathy.

Sun Guixiang hurriedly comforted her, "Good sister, don't worry.

Although I don't have much at home to exchange with you, I can ask the neighbors around you.

See if you can get each household to share a little, so that there will be more or less enough for your family to eat."

Luo Yiyi was deeply moved by Sun Guixiang's enthusiastic help and quickly thanked her, saying, "Oh, sister-in-law, thank you so much!

If it weren’t for your help, I don’t know what I would have done.”

"It's just a small matter. It's only natural for fellow villagers to help each other."

With Sun Guixiang's help, Luo Yiyi quickly bought about 2,000 kilograms of cabbage.

It’s just because private buying and selling is not allowed now, so Luo Yiyi asked them to deliver it to his home in the evening.

Pay the money and get the goods.

Before leaving the Zhao family, Luo Yiyi stuffed a handful of White Rabbit milk candies into Zhao Youcai's cotton-padded jacket pocket.

She is now extremely glad that she likes to eat White Rabbit milk candy, so she always has a large amount of it in her apartment all year round.

In this era of food and clothing shortages, White Rabbit Milk Candy can be used to exchange for almost any daily necessities, and is the first choice for gifts.

Zhao Youcai looked at Luo Yiyi's back in a daze, then looked at the White Rabbit milk candy in his pocket and thought he was dreaming.

Until Sun Guixiang slapped him on the back of the head, "What are you doing, you bastard?

So that you can eat meat, I sold some of the cabbages at home.

If you keep teasing me, I'll spank your butt into four pieces."

After being beaten, Zhao Youcai realized that this was not a dream and showed the White Rabbit milk candy in his pocket to Sun Guixiang.

"Mom, look."

"Look, look, what are you looking at? Is there anything else in your pocket besides dirt every day?

I'll take a look..."

The rest of the words got stuck in my throat.

Then he slapped Zhao Youcai hard on the back, "You little bastard, where did you steal it from?

I have told you many times that a person can be poor, but he cannot be short-sighted, and he certainly cannot steal things.

Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?

When your father comes back, I will make him hang you on the beam and beat you up.

Come on, give it back to me now, wherever you stole it from."

Zhao Youcai finally had a chance to interrupt and quickly explained, "Mom, I didn't steal this. It was given to me by Luo Zhiqing... Sister Luo."
