Chapter 61: Domestic Violence in the Era 16

The two chatted all the way and staggered for an hour before arriving at the county. On the way, they met a few grandmothers from the neighboring brigade who wanted to hitchhike. Because Li Qingshan wanted to charge three cents for the fare, they chased and scolded them, making Lin Xia once again feel the terrifying fighting power of the elderly.

When they arrived at the gate of the county town, Lin Xia got off the car, and they finally agreed to meet there at 12 noon. Then Li Qingshan drove to the county town station.

Lin Xia went straight to the hospital to sell the Chinese medicine she had prepared during this period. The price in the hospital was good, much better than that at the purchasing station. In the end, she walked out of the hospital gate with 23 yuan in her hands.

Hey, what did she see?

An old lady and a young man carrying a basket obviously didn't know each other, but they talked about relatives and walked to the corner of the alley.

Is this the black market? No wonder she couldn't find it.

Lin Xia approached silently, watched the old lady walk away, and immediately appeared in front of the young man.

"egg?"

The young man had a very sharp eye and knew at first glance that Lin Xia was a potential customer.

"If you have a ticket, it's 6 cents each. If you don't have a ticket, it's 11 cents each." The young man spoke very quickly and softly.

"1 cent." Lin Xia tried to bargain.

"Sister, it's all this price." The other party shook her head firmly.

"I want them all. Can you give me the basket instead? I'll carry one to give away when the time comes." The basket was woven much better than hers.

"At least 70, do you really want them all?" The other party opened her mouth slightly, her eyes full of disbelief. The stall was closed just after she set up today. She was so lucky.

"Hurry up, I won't lie to you."

In the end, I counted 74 and rounded off the amount to spend 8 yuan.

After Lin Xia paid the money, she asked him, "Do you have a ticket?"

When dealing with big customers, people are particularly attentive. In order to make them pay, they must serve them well. "Sister, you can just call me Heizi."

Lin Xia silently liked the name in her heart. It was indeed quite dark, but there were many dark people these days.

"Sister, what kind of tickets do you want?"

"I want tickets for everything. Do you have tickets for watches?"

"I can manage with the other tickets, but I have a hard time with the watch ticket."

After negotiations, Lin Xia finally bought 18 yuan worth of tickets from him, including grain tickets, oil tickets, meat tickets, sugar tickets, pastry tickets, industrial tickets, etc.

Facing potential customers, he introduced his range of activities to Lin Xia. He was usually outside the hospital, so if she needed anything, she could come to find him. If he was not there, she would be on the black market.

The location of the black market is in a residential area and it changes every month. She can come to him to ask about the new location. She can't get in without an introduction. If she finds a place, she can sign up as a "black market".

But the market is not open every day, it is only open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

Lin Xia remembered that the last time she came to the city was on Monday, no wonder there was no trace of her.

Finally, Lin Xia returned with a full load and put a basket of eggs into the backpack, which was actually put into the space.

Now that she had money and tickets, she boldly walked into the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a bunch of things, such as a kettle, a mirror, vanishing cream, rubber shoes, aluminum lunch boxes...all together she spent more than 20 yuan.

Passing by a cloth counter, she saw the newly released white fabric with yellow floral patterns, which immediately caught her heart.

However, her love for florals doesn't seem to match her cold personality.

No matter what, buy it!

Considering her age, she is an old lady who should like prosperous things. In her previous life, she mostly wore black, white and grey clothes. She must change her style in this life. Life can't remain the same, right?

Don't add restrictions to yourself while you are alive.

After taking the cloth, Lin Xia returned to the snow cream and picked up a lipstick of this era.

I touched my face. I just bought a mirror and it was only then that I could see my appearance clearly. The bronze mirror I used before was quite clear, but it was coppery yellow in color. It seems like a filter is on, not very real.

The original owner had a handsome appearance, with good bone structure. Although her face was not as good as the one in the previous life, it was still good looking.

She was just so badly treated in the past few years that she looked awful. At 20 years old, she looked the same age as Sun Changjian. Her complexion was dull, her skin was covered with aging spots, and even the boy selling eggs called her "sister" when he saw her.

She no longer cared about her appearance and didn't want to be an ugly girl. She would give herself a beauty mask when she got home today, otherwise she would be too embarrassed to wear the beautiful clothes she made out.

After buying the things, Lin Xia asked the teller the time and found out it was only half past ten. She turned around and went to the state-owned restaurant, just in time for lunch to be served.

Today’s limited dishes: braised pork and short ribs in soy sauce.

When the other guests saw it, they immediately ordered the braised pork excitedly.

As soon as Lin Xia saw the huge crowd, she knew the food was delicious, so she ordered two limited edition dishes and a vegetarian dish.

The bad-tempered waiter would not allow Lin Xia to order only one meat dish and one vegetable dish.

At this moment, she wanted to beat someone up, but when she looked at the slogan "No beating of customers without reason" posted above her head, she thought, eating is the most important thing in the world, and if they quarrel or fight, they will only delay her meals.

I had no choice but to take a step back and order a braised pork and shredded cabbage.

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Xia was satisfied when she took the first bite of the braised pork. It was really delicious, fatty but not greasy, and melted in her mouth.

She ate all the food with great enjoyment, and before leaving, she shamelessly ordered a portion of braised pork to take away. This time, the waiter didn't say anything, but just muttered that Lin Xia was a big eater despite her small body.

Lin Xia looked at her, and she realized that her gossip was heard. Her face turned red, and she asked the chef to fill Lin Xia's lunch box with food, as if she was embarrassed and guilty.

Lin Xia was very satisfied. She carried her lunch box and went out with a full stomach. She walked slowly to the fork in the road. Seeing that no one had arrived yet, she wandered around nearby to digest her food.

Half an hour later, Li Qingshan came with two men and one woman driving a ox cart.

"Xiao Lin, have you been waiting for a while? Come up quickly." Li Qingshan stopped the ox cart and greeted Lin Xia warmly.

"It was only a few minutes, not long."

Lin Xia glanced at the three people as she spoke and found that they all looked very good.

The girl was bright and elegant in a green military uniform, a boy had a tough square face and wore a white shirt and black pants, and the other gentle and elegant "pretty boy" wore a gray bleached jacket.

From their clothes, we can tell that the girl and the guy with a square face come from well-off families, while the pretty boy comes from an average family.

The girl's face was slightly pale, but when she saw Lin Xia she smiled slightly and moved a spot to the side of the luggage.

Lin Xia came up, sat down, and thanked the girl.

Li Qingshan introduced her to the three people, "Her name is Lin Xiaoqing, she is also an educated youth. If you have any questions, just ask her."

Lin Xia:......

Captain, you are so rude.

The pretty girl spoke first, "Hello, Comrade Lin, my name is Zhong Wenyue."

Square face: "Li Lixin."

Pretty boy: "Guo Wenzhong."

Hmm... it seems like she has mixed in with the male protagonist. I didn't expect that the place where the male and female protagonists went to the countryside was their brigade. It's fate.

Lin Xia secretly glanced at Guo Wenzhong. He was quite handsome and fair-skinned.

"Hello, my name is Lin Xiaoqing."
