Lian Xiaomin looked at the watch and realized that they had to wait for half an hour. Well, everyone could stop the car and rest for a while. She had nothing to do, so she planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
This is the area of Hebei Province, and I'd like to take a look at the different goods in the supply and marketing cooperative.
I walked out of the state-owned hotel and asked an uncle for directions. It turned out I was going in the right direction and it was not far away.
We soon arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative. I felt that the facade looked similar, so since we were already there, we might as well take a look, so we walked in and planned to buy something.
Anyway, there is a pile of bills in the space, which I don’t need at all, so I seldom come to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
There is only one floor here, but the area is quite large and there are quite a few people inside. It may be that during the Chinese New Year, people from various villages and towns come here and are willing to spend some money.
She walked around the counters and bought five pounds of egg cakes at 75 cents per pound, a total of three dollars and seventy-five cents, including the pastry ticket.
I'll give them some to eat on the way. After they've finished spending, there's really nothing left to buy, so I'll just pass it on.
As I walked out of the door, I saw an auntie pulling a child of four or five years old against the wall outside the door.
People on the street thought it was a woman teaching her own child a lesson, and no one paid any attention.
Lian Xiaomin couldn't help but pay attention. As a modern person in 2023 before the time travel, she read too much news and was particularly alert to things like child trafficking, so her attention was naturally focused there.
He released his mental power to listen carefully to see if it was a kidnapper or not. He heard the ragged little boy trying to snatch things from the other person's hand.
"I won't trade with you, give it back to me..."
The woman, who was about 40 years old, stared at him with a pair of dead fish eyes and said in a low voice, "If you keep yelling, I will report you to the Red Squad. The two old men in your family and you, this little brat, will be paraded through the streets and criticized!"
After saying these words, he raised his voice slightly, pretending to scold his ignorant child.
"Be obedient. If you don't, go home and let your dad beat you!"
There was no way the little boy could defeat such a man. He could only let go of the other man's clothes and sob as he watched the man snatch his things and was about to leave. He had no way to stop him.
Lian Xiaomin thought to herself that it looked like the man was not a kidnapper but a swindler, so she strode over, grabbed the woman by the shoulders, and dragged her into an alley nearby.
The other party was stunned, not knowing who he had met, but he quickly reacted.
It was obvious that the woman was used to doing farm work and had a strong body. She was trying to swing her arms and strike out like a shrew, so as to scratch the other person's face and get away quickly.
Lian Xiaomin went up and twisted her arm, forcing her to kneel on the ground with a thud.
"Ouch! You, what are you doing? I don't know you."
The little boy behind saw a big brother suddenly appear, grabbed the woman, and quickly ran over with his legs clattering.
When I entered the alley and saw this scene, I quickly said, "She said she could exchange my things for food, so she cheated me out of them, wuwuwu..."
After all, the child was too young, and only after Lian Xiaomin's questioning did he explain the matter in bits and pieces.
His grandparents are both sick and can't even get up from the kang. His brother was taken away by people wearing red armbands, saying he was going to be criticized and would be released after ten days, but he hasn't come back yet.
There was nothing to eat at home, so the little boy took a gold bracelet hidden by his grandmother and wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find someone to exchange it for money or food.
This woman was not an easy person to deal with. When she saw the little boy exchanging things, she found out that there were only his grandparents at home, and they were too sick to get out of bed. So she pretended to give him money in exchange for the bracelet, and then she took the money and left.
I was so happy. What else could I give? This was free. I came to the supply and marketing cooperative and picked up a big gold bracelet for free.
The woman saw that the situation was not good and tried to break free and run while the two were talking, but Lian Xiaomin kicked her hard again.
"Take the things out! Still want to run?" The kick was so heavy that the man fell to the ground, holding his stomach and begging for mercy in pain.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me...I won't do this again."
Lian Xiaomin simply reached into the pocket of her cotton-padded jacket, pulled out the bracelet and handed it to the little boy.
"Here you are. You are too young. Don't take out these valuable things again."
She looked at it and found that the gold bracelet was quite heavy, weighing over 50 grams. A small yellow croaker only weighed 31.25 grams and was worth more than 200 yuan.
This big bracelet is almost as big as two small yellow croakers. If a little kid like this takes it out, there will definitely be people coveting it.
He led the little boy out of the alley, not caring whether the woman could get up or not, so that she would remember this lesson well.
He walked some distance away and said, "Let me take you home. Where is your home?"
Don't let anything bad happen to you while carrying such a valuable item.
The little boy raised his tear-stained face and said in a baby voice, "I, I will exchange food for grandpa and grandma...they won't die..."
Lian Xiaomin sighed and glanced at the watch. There was still time. Let’s go and take a look.
"My backpack is full of food. Please take me there quickly. I need to be taken to the hospital if I'm sick."
The little boy took the initiative to grab the big hand of the older brother who was helping him, and tried his best to move his short legs forward.
In order to save time, Lian Xiaomin simply held the egg cake she bought in one hand, picked him up in the other, and ran quickly according to the direction the child pointed, and soon found his home.
The gate opened as soon as I pushed it. As soon as I entered, I heard some noise in the house and a boy of about twelve or thirteen came out.
