The next day was Sunday, and Lian Xiaomin didn’t wait until the evening and planned to go to Mr. Qian’s house in Nanluoguxiang in the morning.
She pretended to go out first and brought back half a cart of things, which were two and a half pigs, each in a sack.
There were also two bags of 100 kilograms of white flour and two rolls of army green cotton cloth, each roll was about 20 meters long.
Everything was prepared in duplicate, and there were envelopes that Shen Hanchao and Zhong Min sent to their own homes, each with some money in them, which was the RMB that the two had exchanged gold for from Lian Xiaomin.
She gave all of these to Lawrence Lu and asked him to go to Shen Hanchao’s eldest brother’s house, which was the courtyard of his father Shen Yaowu before, and then gave it to the eldest son Shen Chunming after he left.
Lawrence Lu had been there with Lian Xiaomin the last time he came to Beijing, so he knew the place.
He brought a letter of introduction with him, and nothing would happen if he went there during the day, so he might as well go in the morning.
The two people acted separately.
Lian Xiaomin walked out alone and went to Nanluoguxiang. Maybe it had snowed heavily in the past two days, so there was a lot of snow on the ground outside.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, we arrived at the place and walked into the store at the innermost part of the alley.
I used my mental power to look inside first. Uncle Qian was at home, and Xiao Si seemed to have married. Haha, there were two babies in the house!
Shunxun seemed to have moved out, leaving an empty room with only some miscellaneous items in it.
Lian Xiaomin took out another cart from the space at the gate of the yard, which was loaded with five bags of rice, five bags of flour, and two bags of millet.
There was also half a pig's leg in a sack, with four bottles of liquor and two pounds of tea on top.
Then he knocked on the gate.
Xiao Si quickly came out to open the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that Miss Xiao Ma was here!
In the past, Lian Xiaomin told them the name Xiao Ma. Linzi went abroad, so she, as the boss, contacted them personally.
Xiao Si quickly helped to pull the cart in.
Mr. Qian from the room also came out.
"Ponygirl, oh, long time no see!"
Yes, it’s been a long time since we last met. It’s been a few years. The last time I came, Shunxi was still living here and Xiaosi was not married yet.
Now we have two children, and the younger one looks only a few months old.
"Master Qian, Xiao Si, you are all doing well, right? These grains are for you, put them away."
Everyone quickly pulled it to the backyard and put it in the cellar.
The wine and tea were brought into the house, and Mr. Qian smiled and quickly picked up the kettle on the stove to make tea.
"Little Ma, Linzi knew that I loved drinking tea, so he always gave me good tea. Oh, I miss him a lot. Is he doing well?"
Lian Xiaomin smiled and nodded: "He is fine, but he won't be back for a short time, don't worry."
After the tea was prepared, Grandpa Qian also told her that Shunxi had bought a small courtyard not far away. They were all used to living in this area, so it would be convenient for them to take care of each other.
Shunxi already has four children, and his older brother Shunan has five!
Oh my god, it's really fast~
Xiao Si got married more than three years ago and now has two kids.
The eldest is a girl, two years old, and the second is only four months old.
Xiao Si and his wife Liu Yuexian brought both children over from the next room, greeted and met Miss Xiao Ma.
Lian Xiaomin took one look and found that Liu Yuexian was quite good-looking, tall, about 1.68 meters, with a pair of smiling eyes and a cheerful personality.
When she saw the children, she took out two small golden beans from her pocket, both with thin necklaces, and gave one to each child.
I have made some preparations this time. After all, I am going home for the New Year, so I have to prepare something for the little ones.
Xiao Si put the youngest fat boy in her arms. Oh my god, this fat boy is so cute and soft, and he gave her a toothless smile.
Lian Xiaomin kissed his little hands that were reaching for her hair.
She suddenly remembered the youngest child in her aunt's family, named Nian Nian, the sixth child.
Alas, it’s been more than three years since we last met, and you’re already four and a half years old every year!
…
After talking for a while, Liu Yuexian took the two children back to the house.
Xiao Si ran out and called Shunxi and Shunan over. He had to meet Miss Xiaoma no matter what. It was not easy to meet her.
Lian Xiaomin also said that she would also go to Xiaomao and Errong this time. Is there any message they want to bring?
As a result, Mr. Qian said that they came here again during the Chinese New Year last year!
Everyone was very excited to get together again, and Gu Dazhuang was also here.
Errong also said that there were two courtyards of Mr. Qian in Sandaogou Commune, and nothing was happening now. He asked through his connections and was told that the black market was not being dealt with so strictly now.
It’s been so long since Qian Gui’s incident happened, and no one cares about it anymore. Even if he goes back now, it won’t be a big deal.
To be on the safe side, in a few years, if Mr. Qian wants to go back to his hometown, he can go back anytime. The house will be well taken care of by them.
Lian Xiaomin thought, yes, it is already 1978, things will become more and more relaxed, and it will be even better if we reform and open up in the future.
According to calculations, the college entrance examination should have been resumed in December last year. She will go back and ask Ma Cheng how he did in the exam. If this kid doesn't listen to her and doesn't get into university, she will not let him off.
Mr. Qian originally wanted to keep Miss Xiao Ma for lunch, but even Xiaomin didn't eat. It would be enough for him to just visit everyone. As long as everything was fine, he would feel at ease.
She put down another bag containing 200 mechanical watches. If the supervision was not strict in the future, they could continue to resell them.
When people become richer, the demand for these things will be greater.
It's a waste of space to keep these things, so give them to Mr. Qian to sell. They can split the profits 20% to 80% based on the sales volume, which is a considerable income for them.
Several people were very happy and even brought a jewelry box.
Shunxi Xianbao said: "Miss Xiaoma, although you asked us not to do black market business last time, saying it was too dangerous, we couldn't help it and still exchanged our supplies for some good things."
"After all, you left so much cloth and cotton, which are in short supply. We can't use them all ourselves. That would be a waste. Look..."
The wooden jewelry box was one foot long and half a foot wide. When I opened it, wow, it was filled with jewels, pearl and diamond necklaces, and gemstone rings. There were so many!
"These things will be very valuable in the future. Didn't you keep a few for yourself?"
Lian Xiaomin was very touched that those who helped him had been dedicated and responsible over the years.
Just this box of stuff must be worth at least several million Hong Kong dollars.
Mr. Qian said, "I kept them. Don't worry. I kept two pairs of porcelain vases. I like them very much. I have been with you for so many years, and I have learned a lot. Haha!"
"Miss Xiao Ma, I will continue to keep accounts for these 200 watches when I sell them, and I will continue to help you exchange them for some good things. I know you are definitely not short of money, and you just like these things."
Lian Xiaomin thought that there would only be a few years of shortage of supplies, and it might not be so easy to replace them.
She told Mr. Qian that he didn't need to worry too much and that if the item was difficult to exchange, he could just sell it for the money.
After sitting for more than an hour, she stood up and said goodbye to Mr. Qian and everyone, then left on the cart.
Everyone could only sigh at her hurried coming and going and look forward to seeing her again!
She dragged the empty cart, found an empty alley, and put it into the space.
He changed out a bicycle and rode to the train station, wanting to meet Zhang Biao, the little brother who helped Ma Ye.
