Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran excitedly rode their bicycles to the commune.
Arriving at the commune, Gu Ranran hurriedly made a phone call. She first called her father. When her father's voice came over the phone, Gu Ranran said excitedly, "Dad, I'm Ranran. I have something good to tell you. Don't get excited."
Lu Hai and I were at the movies when we spotted a human trafficker selling a child. Lu Hai and his brother went to look after the child, while my best friend and I rode our bikes to call the police. The police arrived, rescued the child, and apprehended the trafficker.
After the case was concluded, the police came to my brigade in the countryside to hold a commendation meeting for us, presenting us with banners and prizes.”
"Ran Ran, you are very smart. That's what you should do. If you encounter any problems, report it to the police. You have to protect your little arms and legs. Don't go out alone. Go with others. If you can't find anyone, go find Lu Hai."
"Dad, don't worry. I have a companion. I do everything with my good sister.
Dad, I have never won a medal, but I am very happy. I want to send the prize to you so that you can be happy too.
I'll give the big cup to Dad for tea, he loves tea the most. I'll send the washbasin to Mom, she'll be happy to wash her face every morning using my award-winning washbasin. I'll give the face towel to my younger brother, he'll definitely love it."
"Ran Ran, why don't you keep it for yourself? This is your prize, it has special meaning. Besides, if you send it all to us, what will you use it for?"
"Dad, I'm giving it to you because the prize is important to me. Only you are worthy of my prize. Besides the prize, I also have a banner.
The silk banner is now hanging in the brigade office, and everyone in our brigade is very happy. I’m going to hang up first because I have to call my mother.
Gu Ranran said happily as she dialed the phone.
"Mom, I'm Ranran. I'm very happy to get the medal today. If there's a prize, I'll send it back to share with you.
Also, I found some delicious mountain products while I was in the countryside, so I exchanged them with the villagers and will mail them back to you later. I filled in your work address, so you must remember to pick them up."
"Ran Ran, what medal did you win? You don't have to send us the prize, keep it for yourself. You don't have to send us any mountain products either, just eat as much as you like. We have everything at home, so just take care of yourself."
"Mom, I'm living well here, don't worry too much, I'll bring your son-in-law back for the New Year.
I wanted to send you something, so just remember to pick it up. I've already told Dad how I won the prize, so go back and ask him tonight. Now I'm going to send you something, so I'm hanging up."
After Gu Ranran hung up the phone, she happily told Zhang Tiantian, "Tiantian, I'm not particularly happy about winning the award. But I'm really happy to share the prize with my family. Seeing the captain happy makes me happy too."
Zhang Tiantian wanted to find the happy team leader, so she said, "Yes, my dad is the happiest person about our award. He was especially happy to get the water cup. My dad will definitely be happy for a long time because of this."
"Tiantian, let's go find a place where there's no one. Then get some things out and I'll send them to my family."
Zhang Tiantian took a look and said, "Let's go to the alley in front. It's closer to us."
After arriving at the alley and seeing that there was no one there, Gu Ranran asked the system.
"Tongzi, have you brewed the ginseng I asked you to?"
"Ranran, it's ready."
"Tongzi, put the soaked ginseng and 5 jin of chestnuts, 5 jin of walnuts, and 5 jin of hazelnuts in a bag. I'm going to send this to my brother."
"If you're sending it home, fill the wash basin and water cup with chestnuts first. Put these two in separate bags and secure them with the bags.
Take out a big bag and put the washbasin and large cup filled with chestnuts into it, then take out 5 kilograms of chestnuts, walnuts and hazelnuts and put them into the big bag.
Then he took out two large bags.
Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran each carried a bag and went to send it. It was quite expensive to send things, and it cost a total of 6 yuan.
After sending the items, Zhang Tiantian said to Gu Ranran, "Ranran, why don't we go to the black market to sell things? This is a good opportunity. Let's make more money. The two of us don't have much money, not even as much as Lu Jiang and Lu Hai.
The main reason is that I also want to go to the black market. The last time I sold meat, I encountered red armbands and didn’t have time to go to the black market.
"Okay, you can go. But we have to dress up so that our true identities won't be revealed."
"Let's get dressed near the black market. It's more secretive and there are fewer people there."
Zhang Tiantian rode a bicycle with Gu Ranran and came to the corner outside the black market.
"Tongzi, quickly get the equipment we're going to the black market with."
Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran quickly put on the man's clothes, put on a fake beard, tied up his hair, and then put on a hat.
"Tongzi, take out 50 kilograms of wild boar meat and 50 kilograms of apples. I'm touching my bicycle, so put it into the space quickly."
Gu Ranran and Zhang Tiantian went to the black market carrying apples and wild boar meat. They paid 20 cents each at the door and went in.
As soon as we entered the black market, we were greeted by customers. Seeing that there were apples and wild boar meat for sale, they all came to buy them. In that era, meat and fruit were relatively scarce, so the wild boar meat and apples were sold out very quickly.
Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran started browsing the black market. They sold everything, a wide variety of items. However, there weren't many items displayed; they were often carried by hand. This was probably to make it easier to run when the red armbands arrived.
