"Hahaha! Let's go back! I'm at the guesthouse."
Gu Qingmeng slipped away from under the man's armpit before he could react.
"Haha! There are still more than forty days, just wait, little one." Pei Xinghe whispered, with a smile between his eyebrows.
Then he followed Gu Qingmeng and sent her to the door of her room before turning around and going downstairs back to the hospital.
When Gu Qingmeng knocked on the door, she saw Su Xue with a messy hair and red eyes, as if she had been crying.
"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you to come back and sleep? You're still blurry-eyed!" Gu Qingmeng felt uncomfortable seeing her best friend like this.
"It's okay, I just had a dream. I dreamed that Pei Weidong died! And then I got pregnant. This dream was so fucking weird!" Su Xue was speechless about her dream. It made her so pitiful.
She has a best friend at her side, so even if she is a widow, her life will be very comfortable. From now on, she will have a little wolfdog in her left hand and a little puppy in her right hand, and she won't think about that bastard Pei Weidong at all.
How could Gu Qingmeng not see her best friend's fear and worry about Pei Weidong? She hugged her and sat on the bed to comfort her. After she calmed down, she asked, "Xuebao, what happened?"
"Well, they went to the hospital yesterday and started cleaning the wound. Although there was no internal damage, there was rust on the knife. The doctor said it was very dangerous. If it became inflamed and festered... Luckily, the people on the military vehicle yesterday helped get imported anti-inflammatory drugs."
Su Xue felt like she was holding back some anger. She was in so much pain! Pei Xiaocao was already dead, so it didn't matter whether she hated him or not.
If she hadn't died, she could have gone back and scolded him! She could have kicked him a few times to vent her anger, but now she could only hold her anger in with nowhere to vent it.
"There are post-operative anti-inflammatory drugs in the space. I'll give them to Pei Weidong after he's discharged from the hospital. Don't worry, he'll be fine! He won't get inflamed."
Gu Qingmeng sighed. Maybe she herself didn't even realize how important Pei Weidong was to her right now without her best friend realizing it.
"I'll go to Lijia Village and ask what unit they're from. They left after helping me yesterday, and I didn't even have time to thank them. I have to send them a thank-you letter and a banner!"
The thank-you letters and banners at this time are particularly valuable and may be helpful to the people who helped, and they will be given priority for promotion. Su Xue also wants to write a thank-you letter and send it to the newspaper. This is the most effective way of repaying someone she can think of.
Su Xue didn't know that her thank-you letter actually helped the soldier get promoted. It was because of the thank-you letter and the report that a country soldier who was facing retirement was able to stay in the army he loved.
Of course, this is all in the past.
"Mengmeng, I'm in pain. The only way to save me now is to make money. Let's go to the black market tonight!"
Su Xue felt that she had to do something to keep herself busy, otherwise she would keep thinking about random things.
Gu Qingmeng: "...That's fine!"
She couldn't quite follow her best friend's train of thought, but since she wanted to make money on the black market, she decided to go with her.
In the middle of the night, the two men went to the black market in Xiai City fully armed. They originally planned to go to the black market near the train station because the train station was closer to the guesthouse where they were staying.
But Su Xue remembered that she had promised the big brothers last time that she would go there when she got the goods, so she stopped abruptly and pulled Gu Qingmeng to go to the black market they had been to last time.
"Let's go to the black market we went to before!"
Gu Qingmeng doesn’t care. Her purpose is not to make money. It doesn’t matter where she goes.
In the dark, two people each carried a backpack. They found a suitable place in the black market, put the basket down, looked around, and then started to take things out.
They were also a little scared. What if they were caught in a swarm? They couldn't just perform a magic trick on the spot, so they had to have a way out.
As soon as they squatted down, many people came over to ask what they had. When they heard that there was food, they swarmed around the two of them. Eight out of ten people who came to the black market wanted to try their luck in buying food, and it was a great fortune to come across someone buying fine food.
Some people saw the basket of eggs placed at Gu Qingmeng's feet. The eggs inside were big and clean, so they started to buy them. Some bought one kilogram, some bought two kilograms, and some wanted to buy them individually.
Gu Qingmeng simply sold them for 20 cents each. There were about ten eggs in a pound, so she didn't have to weigh them. She could just count them and collect the money.
The supply and marketing cooperative sells eggs for one yuan per catty, but you need an egg ticket. She sells them at two yuan per catty on the black market, which is considered a normal price.
Watching people packing food into bags, everyone was very careful. Occasionally, a few grains of rice would fall and they would carefully pick them up and put them into their pockets. It made people feel sad.
Everyone’s life is so hard now!
Before Gu Qingmeng could feel sad for long, she heard Su Xue arguing with an aunt.
"Auntie, give me back my flour bag. I don't want it!" Su Xue held the flour bag's hand and refused to let go no matter what. Their flour bags were made of cloth from the space, which was different from the cloth at this time. It was difficult to see clearly in the dark, but the abnormality could be seen at a glance in the daytime.
"Why are you like this? They're all bags of flour. What's the difference between yours and mine? How much flour will be wasted just by tossing it around? What if it spills?"
"Auntie, our flour bag is too big to exchange with you. If you want it, just pour it in. If it spills, it's ours. If you don't want it, give it to the next person. This is all the white flour we have."
There were many people waiting to buy flour. Seeing the woman hesitating, many people came forward with flour bags, trying to snatch the flour from her hands.
"Hey, I didn't say I didn't want to buy it, what are you guys fighting over? I want these last five pounds! Go away behind closed doors."
"You woman, you've already bought the flour, but why didn't you tell us earlier? You've made us wait in line for nothing. How about you buy two pounds less, just enough for one meal, and give me two pounds? Maybe there'll be cheaper flour tomorrow."
"Then wouldn't it be better for you to wait and buy the cheaper ones tomorrow? I want all five pounds anyway, so I can't give any to you."
After that, she didn't talk about changing the flour bag anymore. She quickly took out her own flour bag and poured the flour into it, holding it tightly in her hand for fear that someone would snatch it away. Her family was waiting for the flour to be cooked! She didn't know where the child's father was?
