Su Mianmian paid the money, picked up the cotton and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something.
"Sister, do you know where I can buy a stove and a pot?"
The woman slapped her thigh when she heard that, very excited.
"Hey girl! You've asked the right person. Come on girl, I'll take you there."
After saying that, she instructed the man next to her to look at Cotton, and she stood up to lead Su Mianmian.
"Sister, what's your name? Just call me Fat Sister." Fat Sister spoke to Su Mianmian enthusiastically.
Su Mianmian echoed, "Fatty, my name is Su Dani."
The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at a house. The fat lady knocked on the door.
Soon, a thin young man came over and opened the door. He smiled and asked the fat sister, "Auntie Fat, what can I do for you?"
The fat lady pulled Su Mianmian over to her with a smile on her face and said loudly to the young man, "Xiaocheng, this girl wants to buy a stove and a pot. I'll bring them to you."
Xiao Cheng glanced at Su Mian Mian, then said softly, "Aunt, do you want a bigger pot or a smaller one? We just don't have the stove anymore."
Su Mianmian nodded slightly. Now that the stove was gone, she could try her luck in the black market over there after going back to the countryside.
"Just buy a smaller pot, one or two people can use it. If you don't have a stove, forget it."
After hearing this, Xiaocheng nodded slightly and then led the two of them to where the pot was placed.
"Take a look."
Su Mianmian immediately and carefully selected a smaller pot and liked it the more she looked at it.
"Auntie, the price of this pot is seventeen yuan plus three industrial tickets." Xiaocheng said after calculating.
Su Mianmian gave the money swiftly, turned to look at the fat sister and smiled.
"By the way, big sister, do you know where I can exchange bills? I want to prepare some for my daughter."
The fat lady really didn't know, she shook her head helplessly.
However, at this time, the young man named Xiaocheng suddenly said, "Auntie, I know, please come with me."
Su Mianmian had no choice but to put the newly bought small pot at Xiaocheng's house first.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaocheng led Su Mianmian and the fat sister to the second yard next door and knocked on the door gently.
Soon, a middle-aged man walked out from inside. He had a deep scar on his face and looked quite ferocious.
Su Mianmian only took a glance and felt that this man was no ordinary person.
The man said, "Xiaocheng, what's the matter? Come in and tell me."
Su Mianmian and others followed in.
Xiao Cheng pointed at Su Mianmian and explained to the man, "Uncle Yan, this aunt wants to exchange some bills, so I brought her here."
Uncle Yan understood after hearing this and glanced at Su Mianmian.
"Sister, what kind of bill do you want?"
Su Mianmian thought about it for a moment and realized that the bills at home were almost used up.
"Industrial coupons, meat coupons, grain coupons, cloth coupons, sugar coupons—I want some of everything I can use, preferably national coupons."
Uncle Yan walked into the house without saying a word and came out with a stack of bills in a short while.
"Besides the receipts for everyday items, here are also receipts for bicycles and watches. Do you want any?"
Su Mianmian thought for a moment. She had a watch and a bicycle at home. She could exchange them for tickets when she needed them.
So he replied, "I don't need the tickets for the bicycle and the watch, but I want the rest. Big brother, can you calculate the total?"
"Just give me one hundred and twenty-one dollars."
Su Mianmian nodded, took out the money and counted it before handing it to him.
After buying the cotton, Su Mianmian first went to Xiaocheng's house, took the pot, and put the cotton into the backpack.
"Fat sister, I'm leaving!" Su Mianmian said goodbye to Fat Sister.
The fat lady waved her hand in response.
Fortunately, Su Mianmian drank the spiritual spring water and gained a little more strength. Otherwise, according to her previous strength, this journey would be enough for her to endure.
She was walking slowly when she suddenly heard someone shout from behind: "Stop! Don't run!"
Su Mianmian thought to herself that something was wrong, and immediately found a direction and started running wildly.
She stopped only when there was no sound behind her.
She looked around at where she was and found it was a dead end.
Seeing an abandoned house nearby, she walked in.
She was so tired that she didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not and just sat down.
After sitting down, she finally had the leisure to look around. After confirming that there was no one around, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She took advantage of this short period of free time to quickly put the pot and the cotton in the backpack into the space.
After putting it away, she patted her chest lightly. She was really scared. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
Just as she was about to go out, she heard a rustling sound again, and soon she heard someone talking.
Su Mianmian flashed into the space, walked into the villa, and lay down on the sofa.
However, she wanted to see what was going on outside, but she didn't know if she could see it in space.
As she was thinking this, she suddenly noticed that the TV opposite was turned on, and soon the picture of the room outside was displayed.
She saw two people, one tall and one short, walk in and run straight to the window.
Soon, Su Mianmian watched as the two of them found a broken brick, reached out and pressed it, and then a square entrance to an underground secret room appeared there.
Then, Su Mianmian watched the two of them walk away.
Su Mianmian became anxious when she saw that there was no one in the room.
However, the scene in the basement soon appeared on TV again.
The basement is about 30 square meters and contains more than 30 large boxes neatly arranged inside.
What amazed Su Mianmian was that she could still hear the voices of these two people.
"Brother, we came to this secret room secretly. If we are discovered by Director Gao, we will be doomed. Otherwise, let's leave." said the shorter one.
The taller man seemed calmer. "Don't worry, Xiaobao. I overheard the location of this secret room. The only people who know about it are Director Liu and Deputy Director Wang."
Su Mianmian listened to Director Liu. Isn't this the director of the Revolutionary Committee who arrested her parents?
"Brother Dawei, let's take some secretly and leave quickly. I'm scared."
Zhang Dawei thought about it and nodded, "Then we can sell some of the small yellow croakers. Let's see if we have any money or tickets first."
This Brother Zhang was a subordinate of Deputy Director Wang of the Revolutionary Committee. He happened to go to see Deputy Director Wang and overheard their conversation at the door.
