The county town is so small, and the Liu family and the Yun Huaying family can be considered to be in the same circle. They have some idea of what kind of people Fang Ziqiang and the woman he married later are.
She has had a hard time these years and finally endured until adulthood. Now she has been tricked into going to the countryside. There is no one else in the Yun family to help and support her. It is easy for her to suffer losses if she fights against them alone. Maybe it is a good thing for her to avoid going to the countryside now.
Cadre Liu thought about it and said nothing more.
After arriving at the Housing Authority, the person in charge saw that it was Cadre Liu who was trading real estate, and warmly invited them to the office to handle the matter. After confirming that the real estate certificate provided by Yun Huaying was authentic, he immediately processed the procedures for both parties.
Cadre Liu and his wife were also straightforward people. As soon as the transfer procedures were completed, the agreed cash was handed over to her.
After leaving the Housing Authority, Yun Huaying did some calculations in her mind: "400 + 800 + 500 + 530 for the house, plus the two hundred plus in the passbook, that's nearly two thousand five hundred yuan. It's enough to live comfortably in the countryside for the next year or two."
With cash in hand, the world is mine.
If you have food in your hands, you will not be afraid.
"We have money, but we don't have food."
Yun Huaying found a deserted place and sorted out the bills she had found at home. Seeing how few food coupons there were, she cursed, "No wonder Li Hongxia is fatter than a New Year pig."
The food coupons in hand were only enough to buy about ten kilograms of rice. This time she would be going to the countryside for at least a year. Yun Huaying had never done farm work before and was not sure if she could earn enough work points to support herself. It would be better to have some extra rice and flour on hand, so she went directly to the black market in the county town based on her memory.
It was already afternoon and there were few people walking around here. The few who came were just idle thugs.
Yun Huaying simply ignored these whistling hooligans and walked to the door of a small house at the end of the street. She stopped and knocked on the door three times with neither loud nor soft sounds.
She had never been to the black market before. She knew that special things could be bought here because she heard it from the boys in her class. She came here today just to give it a try and was not sure that she could buy what she wanted.
"Squeak..."
The fairly sturdy wooden door opened from the inside, and a tanned, lean man poked his head out. He looked her up and down and asked cautiously, "What's going on?"
"Do you have rice or flour?" Yun Huaying stood at the door and didn't go in.
"How much?"
The other person did not stare at her face, but looked around the street cautiously, and only shifted his gaze to her after making sure that she was the only one there.
"Fifty kilograms of each, do you have any?"
Yun Huaying actually wanted to buy a little more, but she knew that their daily purchase quantity was limited, and 50 kilograms of each item was already the limit.
Seeing that she wanted so much, the other party whispered the price: "Rice is 14 cents, and we can supply 50 kilograms. Flour is 19 cents, and we only have 20 kilograms."
They are located in the south and don't eat much pasta. The main food crop is rice, and most of the flour is shipped from the north, so the price is much higher.
"Okay, I'll buy it."
Yun Huaying took out the money as she spoke, quickly calculated in her head, and stuffed the money into his hand.
The other party counted the money and turned into the house: "Wait a moment."
He quickly took out the things, all of which were in cloth bags. Yun Huaying easily took them with both hands and lifted them up, saying to him, "I have a friend who needs food. Can you prepare another 100 kilograms of rice for me tomorrow?"
"Can."
With big business, he naturally accepted the order without hesitation. The man took the opportunity to sell: "There will be another batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes coming tomorrow. Do you want some?"
These are also staple foods, they can fill your stomach when it's critical, so Yun Huaying naturally wants them: "Yes, how many?"
"Not a lot, maybe about a hundred pounds in total."
"I want them all." Yun Huaying took them without saying a word and said, "Brother, do you have any way to buy medicinal herb seeds here?"
"Medicinal herb seeds." The other party hesitated for a moment and didn't give a definite answer: "I don't have any in stock here. I'll ask other brothers first. If I can get some, I'll bring them to you. If not, there's nothing I can do."
"Okay, if you have any, get them all for me, no matter what kind of medicinal seeds they are."
Yun Huaying put down the two cloth bags and took out five yuan from her pocket and gave it to him: "This five yuan is a deposit. I will come here to see you at noon tomorrow."
"OK."
There was a public toilet nearby. Yun Huaying carried two bags of food and walked straight towards the public toilet. The smell in the public toilet was indescribable, and it almost made her vomit. However, she put the things into the space when no one was around.
After coming out of the public toilet and making sure that no one was following her, she immediately ran to the main road.
It was rush hour, and the main street was bustling with people. Everyone was dressed very simply. She, dressed in an inconspicuous manner, slipped into the crowd without making any splash.
She did not go home immediately, but hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative again to prepare daily necessities for going to the countryside. She also bought two sets of very simple clothes and two pairs of the most popular Liberation shoes. As for other things, she did not buy them and planned to buy them in Yang County.
The sky was already dyed with the intoxicating red of sunset. Yun Huaying was walking on the street holding something in her arms, feeling as if she was immersed in a dream and couldn't wake up.
Thinking that I would be going to the countryside as an educated youth the day after tomorrow, and would have to settle down in the countryside and do farm work facing the loess and back to the sky like the local farmers, I did not feel any rejection or resistance in my heart, but rather some anticipation.
In her previous life, she had read a lot about the experiences and stories of the educated youth during that period. It was glorious to talk about, but more of it was sad and tiring, and there were many tragic stories that could not be told. She had never thought that after her soul was reborn and merged, she would become one of the educated youth. Now, thinking about this, she felt indescribably touched.
When she returned to the family quarters with her things, the housewives of each household were preparing dinner in the corridor. The clanging of spatulas could be heard non-stop, and many children were chasing and playing downstairs, which gave the atmosphere a unique down-to-earth feel.
Just as she reached the second floor, a neighbor who was picking vegetables at the door saw her coming back and said, "Yun Huaying, you're back! Your family was just looking for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, a girl who looked very similar to Fang Xue came out. This was Fang Xue's twin sister Fang Shuang.
Although they are twins, there are some obvious differences between the two sisters. Fang Xue's face is rounder like her mother, while Fang Shuang's face is longer, a typical oval face. They also have two black braids and two ribbons tied on them. The hostility between their eyebrows is not as strong as Fang Xue's, but there is a gleam in their eyes, and it is obvious that they are much smarter than their sister.
Seeing her come back, Fang Shuang first glanced at the things in her hands. Seeing that they were all daily necessities used in the countryside, a faint smile played on the corner of her mouth: "Sister, you are back."
"Your eldest sister is Fang Xue. You and I have no blood relationship at all. Don't claim any relatives by chance."
In the past, Yun Huaying had to endure it for the sake of survival, not smiling at them, but also not confronting them directly, to avoid being scolded and bullied. But now her other soul core has returned, and she is about to leave here, so there is no need to be nice to these disgusting trash anymore.
