Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao were resting on the bed after clearing the grass in the field. They didn't plan to get up today. They had been busy in the field all day, and the pain in their bodies would not go away if they didn't rest for a week.
But they also asked Ding Shaoling and Wang Jianguo from the front yard to help bring some snacks from the town. After the glutinous rice noodles came back, they needed to have a good nourishment.
Chen Qing followed Liang Shurui and Zhang Jianjun to the county town. She had recently exchanged a lot of grain and meat in the system and was going to sell them in the town.
He Wan said she was not tired, so she went to the mountains early in the morning carrying a bamboo basket and then walked to the county from the mountains.
She wanted to take advantage of the time when everyone was busy to ship out a batch of goods and add a little more financial resources to her own business.
In order to avoid running into people from the educated youth point, He Wan took out the wig that Yun Shudai had prepared for her last time.
Today we chose the County People’s Hospital, where those who are sick or giving birth need food and supplements.
He Wan was squatting at the gate of the yard, next to a bamboo basket. There were wild vegetables on top of the basket, but underneath were bags of brown sugar and chicken. She deliberately left a corner exposed so that anyone who was paying attention could tell what was inside.
Sure enough, after a while, a middle-aged woman in her forties came over and asked in a low voice: "Comrade, what do you do?"
He Wan glanced at her and said, "My father works at the sugar factory. My cousin gave birth and was hospitalized, but I looked around but couldn't find her."
The auntie rolled her eyes and said, "If you can't find him, he must have been discharged from the hospital. Do you have a lot of candy? My daughter-in-law just gave birth and is in need of this. I can exchange it with you."
He Wan looked around before nodding at her: "You can exchange foreign exchange coupons, wine tickets, watch tickets, or some old items with me."
"How do I change it?"
"No ticket, brown sugar is 1.2 yuan. If you want a ticket, it's 80 cents."
The lady gave her two dollars and four cents and asked for two bags of brown sugar. Seeing that she also had chicken in the bag, she asked, "How much is the chicken?"
"No ticket, four dollars. With a ticket, three dollars." The aunt thought for a moment and said, "I have a drink ticket, please wait for me for a moment." Then she left in a hurry.
Perhaps someone had seen the transaction between the two of them just now, and people came to ask from time to time. In a short while, He Wan sold five chickens and ten kilograms of brown sugar.
By the time the lady came over, she had already sold twenty kilograms of brown sugar and twelve chickens.
"Here, two wine tickets, I want two chickens."
He Wan left two fat ones for her. The old lady was very satisfied and asked her if she had any pig's trotters.
He Wan thought for a moment and said, "It will be in a few days."
The auntie said happily, "My home is the second one in the alley ahead. My last name is Chen. When are you free? Can you come to our home? We have someone there during this time."
"OK."
He Wan stayed in the inpatient department for a while and then left quickly. She went to a few places with a lot of residents. In short, just don't go to the municipal compound, otherwise you might meet the family of a Little Red Soldier and get yourself into trouble.
At noon, she hid in a place, entered the space, and ate a bowl of instant noodles prepared by Yun Shudai. She did not stop eating after finishing it.
He continued his selling journey, but only for a few hours in the afternoon. Everyone bought the items with money, and no one traded their antiques.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he walked towards Dalizhuang embarrassedly.
He Wan doesn't come here every day now. She comes to different places every ten days or so.
It can sell for several hundred dollars at a time.
