Jiang Baige was going to go outside the station to take a look, so she put the suitcase at Grandma Meng's feet and asked her to hold it between her legs. She did this because she was afraid that after she left, the suitcase would be left aside and taken away by someone.

"Grandma Meng, I'll be back in a bit. You wait here and don't go anywhere, okay?"

Grandma Meng nodded: "Go! Come back soon."

She was afraid that the girl would go too far and come back too late, and she would miss the train.

After getting Grandma Meng's consent, Jiang Baige walked out of the station.

She just took a look and saw a person with a red armband in the station. Trains are too important in this era and there can be no mistakes, so the security is very tight.

People who don't take a car should not be allowed to come here.

There is a small square outside the station where people who are seeing us off gather to say goodbye.

Because Jiang Baige had already entered with a ticket, when she came out, a man in uniform holding a small red flag raised his hand to stop her and prevented her from leaving.

"Comrade, are you taking a car?"

Jiang Baige quickly took out her ticket and said, "Comrade, my train won't leave for a while. I heard that the state-owned restaurant up ahead sells big buns. I want to go out and buy two for my grandma."

She lied as if it were real, without any fear, staring straight at the man in uniform.

The comrade in uniform lowered his head when he was stared at by her. Who was this little comrade who was staring at a man without blinking?

I didn't see anything wrong with it, because the state-owned restaurant outside the station did sell big buns.

He raised the little red flag and continued, "Don't run around when you get out. If you miss the bus, you can't get a refund for your ticket."

Jiang Baige smiled at him and said, "Thank you, comrade. I'll be back soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, she left quickly. If she stayed here for too long and someone came over to ask something, she would not be able to go.

After leaving the train station, she didn't go to the state-owned restaurant. When she saw the streets nearby, she went there.

The houses nearby were all newly built, and it seemed that the families living there were well-off. So she found an alley and went in.

This place is the same as the high-speed rail stations or subway stations in later generations. Places with convenient transportation are all valuable locations. Rich and capable people will try their best to live nearby. If relatives and friends know that they have bought a house here, it will make them proud.

Jiang Baige came to the alley and looked around. There was a small blue brick and tile house on the second floor, and the ground was paved with clear stone slabs, which was the standard configuration of wealthy areas.

She thought that if she walked on this road on a rainy day, her shoes would not get muddy.

She quite likes this place. It is very convenient to get around, the house is big and spacious, easy to clean, and comfortable to live in.

She came here without anything to sell, but if she could sell some, she wouldn't mind. No one would complain about having too much money.

After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Baige took out two cartons of eggs. There were thirty eggs in one carton, so two cartons would have sixty eggs.

Eggs are a hard currency. They can be exchanged for food, salt, cloth, or anything you want. They are nutritious and delicious, and everyone dislikes them.

She walked in the alley for a long time carrying the eggs and didn't see anyone.

Jiang Baige felt strange and changed the alley.

Finally, outside a house, she saw someone washing clothes in the yard. Seeing that the door was not closed, Jiang Baige raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Auntie, I want to ask, is there a family with the surname Hua around here?"

What she actually wanted to ask was why there was no one around, but after thinking about it, she was afraid that people would be curious about why she asked this.

So I had to find a very niche surname as a starting point to start a conversation with people.

The aunt who was washing clothes heard the sound and turned around to see a very pretty girl.

The voice was deep and deep, "Little comrade, are you visiting relatives?"

Jiang Baige nodded and said, "He's a cousin of mine. He came to the city today to do some business, and my mother asked me to come and see him."

The aunt shook her head and said, "Little comrade, you may have come to the wrong place. There is no one named Hua around here."

Jiang Baige breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that there was no one with the surname Hua. If there really was someone with this surname, she would have to find another topic to lie to him.

Jiang Baige looked embarrassed and said to the aunt, "Really? Then maybe I remembered the address wrong."

The aunt asked, "Little comrade, what do you want to do when you come to visit your relatives?"

Jiang Baige said softly, "My mother asked me to deliver eggs to my cousin's house. If I don't see him, I have to take the eggs back."

When my aunt heard there were eggs, she quickly stood up and wiped her hands on her apron.

"Little comrade, come in quickly and have a drink of water!"

As soon as she saw her expression, Jiang Baige knew that she must have some thoughts about the egg.

She bit her lip and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I'm really a little thirsty."

I followed my aunt in, put the eggs I was carrying on the ground, and then took the bowl of water that my aunt handed me.

She was actually a little thirsty after eating noodles in the morning, so she took the water and started drinking it.

Then the aunt asked, "Little comrade, since you can't find your relative anyway, I guess your mother asked you to send these eggs here to exchange for money!"

"How about you give these eggs to your sister-in-law and send them to your relatives next time you have eggs?"

Jiang Baige said embarrassmently, "Is this really possible? Will it be accused of undermining socialism?"

My aunt laughed and said, "Silly girl, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how will others know?"

"Let's put it this way! These eggs are four cents each at the supply and marketing cooperative, but they all require a ticket. If you're willing to sell them, I'll give you six cents each. That's the same price in the county town. I'm not cheating you."

This auntie really didn't cheat her at this price.

Seeing that the little girl didn't say anything, the aunt thought she was unwilling to sell.

My aunt said, "Little comrade, this price is already the highest. If it's any higher, I can't afford it."

"My aunt's daughter-in-law is going to give birth in a few days, so I want to buy some eggs to nourish her after she gives birth."

Seeing that she was getting anxious, Jiang Baige said, "I can sell it to you. How much do you want?"

My aunt saw the eggs on the ground and asked, "How many do you have here? I want them all."

Jiang Baige untied the rope and picked up the paper shell.

"Auntie, count them. There are sixty of them here. They are all very big."

Following her movements, my aunt also saw it clearly.

Such a big egg, bigger than the ones she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative. One here is as big as two at the supply and marketing cooperative.

And such a big one is only six cents each, which is really a good deal.

Jiang Baige said, "Here are sixty of them, six cents each, which makes three dollars and sixty cents."

When the aunt heard her say three yuan and sixty cents, she quickly gave her the money.

She can also calculate the accounts, but she is slow.

But she was not afraid that the young comrade would cheat her, as this amount was about the same.

She might as well give the money quickly and put the eggs away, so that someone wouldn't see them and arrest them.
