Dalizhuang
The weeds in the field had just been cleared, and Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao were resting in bed. They didn't plan to get up today; after working in the fields all day, their physical pain wouldn't heal without a week's rest.
However, they also asked Ding Shaoling and Wang Jianguo from the front yard to bring back some snacks from town. They need to eat some glutinous rice strips when they get back.
Chen Qing went to the county town with Liang Shurui and Zhang Jianjun. She had recently exchanged a lot of grain and meat in the system and planned to sell them in town.
He Wan said she wasn't tired. Early in the morning, she carried a bamboo basket and went into the mountains, then hiked from the mountains to the county.
She wanted to take advantage of everyone's busy schedule to ship a batch of goods and further boost her finances.
To avoid bumping into people at the educated youth settlement, He Wan took out the wig that Yun Shudai had prepared for her last time.
Today we chose the county hospital, where sick people and those giving birth all need food and supplements.
He Wan squatted at the gate of the courtyard, next to a bamboo basket. The basket was filled with wild vegetables, but underneath were packets of brown sugar and chicken. She deliberately showed a corner of it, so that anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was inside.
Sure enough, a moment later, a woman in her forties walked over and asked in a low voice, "Comrade, what do you do?"
He Wan glanced at her and said, "My dad works at the sugar factory. My cousin is giving birth and is hospitalized, but I've looked everywhere and can't find her."
The woman's eyes lit up and she said, "If you can't find it, you've probably been discharged from the hospital. Do you have a lot of candy? My daughter-in-law just gave birth and she needs some. I can trade you something for it."
He Wan looked around before nodding to her: "You can exchange foreign exchange certificates, wine coupons, watch coupons, or some old items with me."
How do I change it?
"No ticket needed, brown sugar is 1.2 yuan. Ticket needed, 0.8 yuan."
The older woman gave her 2.4 yuan and asked for two packets of brown sugar. Seeing that there was also chicken in the packets, she asked, "How much is the chicken?"
"No ticket, four yuan. Ticket, three yuan."
The woman thought for a moment and said, "I have wine tickets, wait for me a moment." Then she rushed away.
Perhaps because someone had seen their transaction, people kept coming over to ask questions. In no time, He Wan had sold five chickens and ten catties of brown sugar.
By the time the older woman arrived, she had already sold twenty jin of brown sugar and twelve chickens.
"Here, two wine tickets, and I want two chickens."
He Wan left her two fat ones, which pleased the aunt. She then asked if she had any pig's trotters.
He Wan thought for a moment and said, "It will be available in a few days."
The woman was delighted and said, "My house is the second one in the alley ahead. My surname is Chen. When are you available? Could you come to my house? We have someone at home these days."
"OK."
He Wan stayed in the inpatient department for a while and then quickly left. She went to several other places with many residents. In short, she just wanted to avoid the municipal compound, because she might run into a family member of a young soldier and end up being taken advantage of.
At noon, she hid somewhere, entered her spatial dimension, and ate a bowl of instant noodles that Yun Shudai had prepared for her. She didn't stop eating after finishing the meal.
He continued his sales journey, but after spending several hours in the afternoon, he bought everything with money; no one traded antiques for his wares.
Seeing that it was almost time, he sheepishly headed towards Dali Village.
He Wan doesn't come every day anymore; she comes every ten days or so to different places.
They can sell for several hundred yuan at a time.
