The two men stopped at the corner ahead and looked around vigilantly.
Qin Anning and Lu Cheng quickly hid in the space and were not discovered.
"What shameful things are these two trying to do? They look so sneaky that one can tell there's something fishy about them at first glance." Qin An Ning complained, holding his chin.
Lu Cheng looked at her helplessly and dotingly, "Just read on and you'll know."
They were already very careful, and the location they chose was quite hidden. If they didn't have the space to cheat, there would be no way for them to eavesdrop.
"Look at how much money I can give you this time." Lu Xingbang took out a small box from his pocket, which contained three small pieces of gold that had been preliminarily refined.
The man picked it up, looked at it over and over, weighed it in his hand, and threw it back into the box in disgust. "Your gold is not pure. I can't give you much money. At most one hundred."
"one hundred?"
Lu Xingbang raised his voice in displeasure, then thought of something and looked around, lowering his voice to bargain, "One hundred is too little, you should add a little, those last time were only two hundred."
"You brought more than this last time. Anyway, I'll give you a hundred. If it works, I'll pay you. If not, ask someone else."
The man leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets, looking like he didn't care whether he sold it or not.
"This is not the first time we've worked together. It's not easy for me to make these. I'll give you a little more. I'll send you everything I make in the future."
The man glanced at Lu Xingbang, thought for a moment, and held up two fingers. "At most, I'll give you another twenty."
Lu Xingbang gritted his teeth and spat out two words, "Deal."
The transaction was completed and the two men dispersed in two directions.
Lu Cheng and Qin An Ning watched the whole process and understood what they were doing.
Qin Anning asked in confusion, "Aren't there troops stationed at the gold mine? How did Lu Xingbang steal the gold?"
"Who knows where they got the loophole, and this isn't their first time trading."
Seeing that the two people had walked away, Lu Cheng took Qin An Ning out of the space and walked along the path.
"It seems that Lu Xingbang is not doing well now. He has even set his sights on the gold mine."
Lu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "We took away all the treasures his father had hidden. Maybe he took this risk because he had no money left."
Nowadays, farmers can’t save much money in a year just by farming, and families with few laborers and large populations don’t even have enough food.
“Now that we have encountered it, we can’t just ignore it. Greed knows no bounds.
Steal a little today and a little tomorrow, and when the matter gets out of hand one day, you never know what will happen.
Go back and ask for Pei Qian's contact information and tell him first."
They couldn't get in touch with that side, and they didn't know whether Pei Qian's troops were still stationed there, but no matter whether it was or not, Pei Qian should be able to get in touch.
"Then let's follow him and see where that person is staying."
Like Ningning said, since we have encountered it, we can't pretend not to see it. So we should do a good thing and provide more information.
The two hit it off immediately and decided not to go to the riverside park. Instead, they turned around and chased in the direction the man had gone.
Because there was not much time difference between the two, and the man did not disappear in a hurry, but walked at a normal pace, the two of them quickly caught up with him.
After following for a while, they saw the man enter a yard, and then they returned.
After strolling in the park for a while, taking a few photos of each other, and asking a passerby to help take two group photos, they leisurely went to the state-owned restaurant for dinner.
There are many rivers in Yi City, so the restaurant serves a lot of fish. The chef has good skills and the fish is very delicious.
After dinner, they went to the department store to buy things.
Today is a holiday, and there are a lot of people in the department store, some are buying things and some are just browsing.
"What do you want to buy?" Lu Cheng stood beside Qin An Ning to protect her from being squeezed by the crowd.
"You've almost finished buying everything. Let's buy some cups, bowls, and plates. We have to socialize when we're married. We can't have guests over and not even have bowls and chopsticks."
"Okay, let's buy some." Lu Cheng led the people upstairs. "Since we're here, let's go look at some clothes first."
Qin An Ning chuckled and suddenly remembered the eight forgivenesses that were often ridiculed by netizens.
"Since you're here, give me some face. You're still a child. This is for your own good. Just get used to it. It's a big holiday. It's not easy for us at our age."
In fact, aren’t they all excuses people come up with to achieve certain goals?
"I have a lot of clothes already, so I don't need to buy more."
Lu Cheng would buy her things wherever he went, including clothes, fabrics and delicious food, so she really had nothing to lack.
Besides, thriftiness is a virtue at this time. The fact that her clothes have no patches is already eye-catching. If she changes her clothes every day, she will probably be reported for her capitalist behavior.
"I can't just come here and buy some plates and bowls. My parents will scold me when I get home."
Lu Cheng got a headache when he thought of Wang Qiufen pulling his ear and nagging him. "I have to buy something else anyway." Just treat it as a way to deal with his mother.
"Well, then I'll buy you two sets of clothes. You don't have many clothes, and then buy something for Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu."
Lu Cheng curled his lips, "Whatever you buy for them, they save it and are reluctant to spend it."
The new clothes he bought for me before have never been worn and have been kept in the closet.
When asked, he said that it would be a waste to wear new clothes if he worked all day, and he would wear them when he went out.
The key is that they can only go out a few times a year.
I can't bear to eat the malted milk and other things in the tiaozi cake because the tiaozi cake has grown mold.
Later, he found out and forced them not to keep it, otherwise he would throw away everything they bought and the two of them would eat it.
Qin Anning's eyes fell on the radio on the counter. She pointed with her slender finger and said, "How about buying that? They can listen to the radio when they have nothing to do at home."
Lu Cheng was a little surprised. He knew Ningning was generous, but he didn't expect that she would be willing to spend so much money to buy a radio for his parents.
The daughter-in-law bought such an expensive thing for her parents-in-law, which is unique in the village.
The cheapest radio nowadays costs fifty or sixty yuan, while expensive ones like the Peony brand cost at least one hundred and fifty or sixty yuan, and there are even some that cost three or four hundred yuan.
However, due to the movement, the Peony brand radio was changed to the Red Flag brand in April 1967.
Qin Anning rolled her eyes at Lu Cheng and asked, "What's that expression on your face? Am I that stingy?"
Lu Cheng takes good care of her grandparents, uncles and aunts. Love for her family extends to them, so is it strange that she treats his parents better?
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Lu Cheng quickly apologized, "It's just that I didn't know you wanted to buy this for your parents, so I only brought a ticket for the radio."
"That's perfect, I'll buy it for Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu."
"No, this is the three-turn and one-ring thing I'm going to buy you. Other people have these things when they get married, so we must not miss out on anything."
Qin An Ning thought about the three things that were turning and making a sound at that time: the bicycle, the watch, the sewing machine and the radio.
I counted on my fingers and told him, "We've already bought the watch, and the bike only takes me ten minutes to walk to work, so I don't need it at all.
I don’t know how to use a sewing machine, so why should I buy it?
As for this radio, it's worth buying one so I can listen to the news and stuff."
