It seemed that she and He Xiaofang informed each other of the news after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Later, on the fifth day of her review, she went to see He Xiaofang.
But Xiaofang was not at home that day, so Du Wanying had no choice but to ask Aunt He to inform Xiaofang that she had been there, and then she went home.
Xiaofang hadn't come to see her until today, and Du Wanying had been busy so she hadn't had time to go to Xiaofang's house to ask what the reason was. Unexpectedly, she met Xiaofang in the county town.
Du Wanying was just about to call He Xiaofang when she saw her turn into a small alley in front.
Du Wanying could only run quickly to catch up. Unexpectedly, it looked like just a small alley from the outside, but it was very winding after entering.
When they reached a fork in the road, Du Wanying could no longer see He Xiaofang. She had no choice but to choose a direction based on her feeling.
I kept walking in this direction, thinking I would see He Xiaofang, but unexpectedly I saw two people guarding the entrance of the alley.
Du Wanying thought: Could this be the entrance to the black market? Otherwise, why are they so cautious, with two people guarding the door?
Thinking of this, Du Wanying no longer had time to look for He Xiaofang. The main purpose of her trip to the provincial capital was to find out where the black market was.
Now that she has found it, she will definitely go in and take a look, and He Xiaofang can only wait until she returns home to visit her.
Although they had arrived at the entrance of the black market, Du Wanying was not in a hurry to go in. She wanted to disguise herself.
In order to avoid letting people in the black market see her true face, Dou Wanying looked around and after confirming that there was no one in the alley, she went straight into the space.
After entering the villa, Du Wanying picked up the cosmetics on the dressing table and began to apply them on herself.
She made herself up like a woman in her forties, and even paid attention to her hands that were exposed outside her clothes, leaving rough marks on them.
After changing into a set of patched coarse linen clothes that had been prepared in the space, he put on the shoes that had been prepared in advance.
After putting on makeup and changing clothes, Du Wanying turned around in front of the mirror a few times to see if there were any flaws on her body.
Believe it or not, she actually found a few small flaws and only left the space after she had dealt with them all.
This time when she went to the black market, she would make everyone in the black market think that she was a woman in her forties, so that even if she sold a large amount of goods, they would not be able to find her.
Since her age and appearance were fake, how could they find her? Even if the black market boss wanted to find her, he would only look for women in their forties.
Who would have thought that the real woman was only in her teens?
Du Wanying had a headscarf on her head and was holding a basket covered with a piece of cloth. She walked towards the entrance of the black market with a hunched back.
The two men at the door stopped her as soon as they saw a stranger approaching. "What are you doing here?"
Du Wanying pretended to be scared and said, "Two young men, I came here to sell rice. My son is sick and I don't have money to see a doctor, so I thought of coming here to exchange some money."
(Du Wanying disguised her voice as that of a woman in her forties.)
The other boy who was guarding the door said, "Open the basket and let's see what's inside."
There is no way, you have to be cautious. After all, selling things on the black market is illegal. If you are caught by the police, not only will you have to eat peanuts, but all the things in the black market will be confiscated.
When Du Wanying heard the two young men wanted to see what was in the basket, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had prepared it in advance.
She carefully removed the cloth from the basket. After the two young men looked inside, Du Wanying asked again, "Young men, can I come in?"
"You can go in, but we have a rule here. Whether you go in to buy or sell, you must hand over 20 cents as our guard fee."
When Du Wanying heard that she had to pay another two cents, she frowned in embarrassment and looked up at the two young men as if casually.
Then he said in a trembling voice: "Okay, wait for me, little brother, I'll get it for you."
Although Du Wanying pretended to be embarrassed, she could actually understand it. After all, this job was so dangerous that one could eat peanuts if not careful, so it was reasonable to charge two cents.
Du Wanying took out the wallet she had prepared in advance from her pocket. It was called a wallet, but it was actually just a bag.
There was a bag inside the bag, and inside that was either paper or bags, a total of seven or eight layers.
This is basically how money is stored these days. People are afraid that the money will fall out, so they want to wrap it in several layers to give them a sense of security.
In this way, Du Wanying opened layer after layer, and finally saw the money in the innermost bag after three minutes.
"Little...little brother, give it to me."
Du Wanying held the money tightly in her hand, pretending to be reluctant to part with it.
If Du Wanying is really a rural woman now, this behavior is correct. After all, people in rural areas basically make a living by farming. They don’t have jobs and no one pays them wages.
Although the young man saw that Du Wanying was reluctant, they still used some effort to take the money away.
It's not easy for anyone to live in this era. If their families really couldn't survive, would they do such a dangerous thing?
"Okay, you can go in."
After hearing what the young man said, Du Wanying hurriedly walked in with the basket. As soon as she came in, Du Wanying discovered that there was a different world inside.
Although the outside is full of winding and crowded alleys, once you come in you will find that there is a lot of space inside.
There were rows of people squatting on both sides. They all came in to sell things. Du Wanying first walked around inside to familiarize herself with the geographical environment, and then she found an empty spot and squatted down.
The basket contained some rice and flour, and Du Wanying had already mixed small stones into the rice.
After all, the rice of that era was full of small stones, and Du Wanying was afraid that it would be exposed if she didn't put some in.
After squatting there for about ten minutes, a customer came over and asked, "Why is the seat inside not so good? When she first came in, many people came to ask about the seat at the door."
Although they left quickly, there was indeed a flow of people. And at the back, you could tell at a glance that it took ten minutes for someone to come and buy something.
People who can come to the black market to buy things basically have no other choice. They have no food at home. If they don’t come to the black market to buy some, the whole family will just starve to death.
Otherwise, who would want to take this risk? That's why many people see what they want to buy at the door, buy it quickly and go home.
A quick solution can reduce the risk, but the longer it is delayed, the greater the risk.
