Ji He walked quietly among the crowd, trying not to attract attention.
Even though everyone seems to be in good spirits, they all look a bit miserable.
When the weather is hot, hair tends to become oilier, and many people's hair sticks to the scalp in clumps.
It’s okay if boys have short hair, but girls basically tie their hair up and scratch it from time to time.
Even though the water outage has only been a short time, the inconvenience in our lives has already been noticed.
Not far in front of Ji He, there was a middle-aged man with his upper body naked, chatting excitedly with the people next to him about children.
Very loud voice.
Ji He had no choice but to hear it.
"I'm telling you, I almost beat my brat to death yesterday! He was a gifted person but he didn't tell me! If the government hadn't issued a notice yesterday, I wouldn't have known about it! Usually, any trivial matter is publicized and known to everyone, but this matter was kept secret!"
"Why are you fighting? Are you unhappy that your son has made progress? If my little brat was also a gifted person, I would be overjoyed!"
"Oh, there's nothing to be happy about. I heard that their missions are also very dangerous. I don't want this. As long as my son is safe, that's all I want."
"Brother, can you elaborate?"
"Brother, what abilities does your son have?"
"Yes, big brother, I heard that gifted people have a portable shopping mall with all kinds of supplies. You can buy whatever you want."
"It's real. My son showed it to me. You can buy things on it."
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
Even though the uncle said he was not happy, the smile on his face never faded and it was almost reaching his ears.
"Then, big brother, will you let our son register?"
"Register, why not register? This is a matter of honor for our family. Since the country has called for it, we must respond. Didn't you see that I have taken out the household registration booklet? I will accompany my eldest son to register in a while!"
"This is a great thing. I heard there's a chance to become a public servant. Not only will I be provided with meals every day, but I'll also be paid a good salary."
"Haha, I don't want that. I don't want that."
The uncle had his hands behind his back. Even though he was sweating profusely, the expression on his face was as beautiful as a flower.
His eyes were all gone from laughing.
There were quite a few people surrounding the uncle asking questions, and some strangers even came up to congratulate him.
The few people separated when they reached the intersection. Ji He and his group went to Meihua Supermarket, while the uncle and his group went to the street office to register.
At this time, the people around were not as dense as before, and there was a little more space. Ji He also felt that he could breathe a little easier.
He just lowered his head from time to time, put his mouth to his arms, and secretly drank a sip of water through a straw.
Even if she stuck to Pralan, in this environment, it was extremely exhausting and made her thirsty very quickly.
After taking a sip of warm mineral water, Ji He silently told himself that he must make some ice cubes when he got home.
She really wants a cold drink!
After finally arriving at the Meihua Supermarket, Ji He just got off the car and looked down at his shoes. It seemed that the soles were a little burned. He had to pay for a pair of shoes for this trip today.
She had never expected that the shoes would wear out so quickly due to the hot weather.
It was already dark at this time, and there were many street lights on around, making the surroundings almost as bright as daytime.
Ji He saw many armed police officers patrolling nearby.
The lights in the Meihua Supermarket were on, and many people were queuing at the door to buy things. Some people even brought water and small stools, and it was obvious that they were prepared for a long-term battle.
Ji He just took a glance and then looked away.
It doesn't matter to her how long the line is.
She has no money.
It doesn't even meet the minimum standard.
Ji He walked slowly in the crowd and soon found the big brother selling gasoline.
My brother has a lot more white hair on his head in just these few days, but he smiled brightly when he saw Ji He.
Ji He asked his eldest brother to help pull the gas tank to the next street, and his eldest brother readily agreed.
The two men handed over the money and the gas tank. The elder brother helped put the gas tank on the ground, turned around and rode away on his bike without any reluctance.
Ji He was not the only one who came to him to buy gas tanks today, but Ji He was the first to arrive. After selling this order, he still had to deliver goods to others.
Ji He stood in the dark, looked around to see that there was no one around, and quickly put all the gas tanks into the space.
Only then did we slowly move towards the free trade market.
The location of the trade market was originally a large square, and there used to be a fountain in the middle of the venue. But now it is hot and water is precious, so there is naturally no fountain.
Ji He walked to the entrance and saw from a distance that a lot of people were gathered in a circle, discussing something.
She walked over and tiptoed, only to find that there was a sign in front of her.
It states the rules of the free trade market.
1. You need to pay a handling fee for setting up a stall, half a pound of rice per day.
2. Theft, robbery and other acts are prohibited in the market. Once discovered, they will be dealt with severely.
3. All transactions on the exchange are based on the principle of voluntariness. The official is only responsible for safety. Please be cautious, buyers.
4.……
It turns out to be an explanation.
The main point is that the government only provides a venue where people can shout and buy and sell things, and is responsible for safety, but does not care about other quality issues.
If you are not sure about the quality, you can go to the Meihua Supermarket next door, which is officially opened and the quality is guaranteed.
Ji He had no money anyway, so he just wanted to take a look.
The Free Trade Market is not like the Meihua Supermarket, there is no need to queue here.
Ji He followed the crowd and slowly walked towards the market.
There are also street lights here. Although they are not very bright, you can still see clearly what is placed on the ground.
They sell everything.
There is no food for sale.
Things are both new and old.
The old ones are second-hand things that some people bring from home, hoping to exchange them for something useful.
These people have everything on their stalls, and the prices are not too expensive. Basically, they don’t charge any money, and they just accept barter.
The new thing is that some vendors used to set up stalls in shopping malls. Now that the weather is hot, the shopping malls are closed and they don’t know when they will be able to resume business, so they bring their goods here to set up stalls to sell.
This will also help clear out some inventory, right?
With so many goods piled up, they would have no money to buy food if they didn't sell them.
Ji He saw many people pushing tricycles and selling goods, including clothes, shoes, socks, underwear, pots, bowls, and portable stoves.
They sell everything.
People are in pretty good condition. Although they are out of vegetables and meat, at least they still have a lot of instant noodles and biscuits stored at home. At least there are no major problems in the past two months, and they are not particularly anxious.
Ji He picked out several pairs of sneakers, but she estimated that the shoes she was wearing would be scrapped when she returned home.
“How much do these shoes cost?”
"Girl, this is a famous brand. It used to cost 1,000 yuan in the mall, but now it's only 500 yuan. You can take it."
Ji He stood up and left without saying a word.
