It was still dark, around 3 a.m., when the young couple took half a pig from their farm and prepared to go to town.
The two of them put the things into the space, and then had a hot breakfast there.
After finishing their meal, the two prepared to continue their journey. When they arrived at their destination, it was just getting light. Dressed the same as before, they went to a house that appeared to be relatively wealthy and prepared to knock on the door.
"Sister, I'm from the countryside delivering grain to my relatives. My mother asked me to deliver the grain, and I'd like to ask how to get to Li Jianhua's house."
"Hey young man, are you selling this grain? I see you're carrying so much stuff, are you giving it all to relatives?"
"Yes, my mother said she wanted to exchange some money because my younger brother is sick and we need money for treatment."
When the woman heard him say that, she said, "Young man, sell it to me. What's in your bag?"
"Oh, pork!" the older woman exclaimed in surprise.
"Brother, you must have killed him on the mountain? That's impressive! Come inside."
Jianjun opened the bag, revealing rice, corn, refined noodles, brown sugar, and millet.
"Brother, you're amazing! I'll take all of these. I'll pay you. Next time you have any more of these, sell them to your older sister. You didn't even need a receipt."
This family looks very well-off. In the city, the average wage is about 30 yuan per person, and the amount of grain rationed is limited. Money is useless if it's just sitting there, and it's difficult to buy grain with money these days.
They sold a total of 450 yuan worth of grain. The two of them then started walking further afield and sold a lot more. They walked all day and earned a total of 5,000 yuan.
This was a huge sum of money. The two changed their clothes, washed their faces, and dressed themselves as city workers. They took out bicycles from their spatial storage and prepared to leave quickly. After all, they had sold too much grain today, and they were a little worried and scared.
Fortunately, the two rode away quickly. Just an hour later, people came to arrest them, saying that someone was selling grain, which was a big deal.
People dressed in ordinary clothes come to the town every day to conduct inspections. The investigators are all thinking that they can't just come once; they're sure they'll catch someone by fishing.
According to the person who found him, the man was dressed in clothes covered in patches and said he came from the countryside.
The woman with a birthmark on her face and the man with a limp, who have also been reported in other towns, are both women with pockmarks on their faces.
Based on this objective, it feels like this is a group, and their image might be a disguise; even their feet could be faked.
However, facial disguises are very difficult to create nowadays, so no one suspected anything, but as soon as they showed up, they would definitely be caught.
The two quickly left the city, having prepared 5 jin of wheat flour, 50 jin of corn, 2 jin of brown sugar, and 40 eggs.
There was another chicken, which they put in a bag. They planned to go home after dark. The two of them ate a meal by the roadside in a secluded spot before heading home under the cover of darkness.
When the two returned home, their family members lit candles and were overjoyed to see so much food.
After repackaging and storing all the grains and other items, Old Lady Guo asked, "Why have you changed so many things?"
“Mom, there’s no pork in the city now, and we’re short of oil at home. With the 50 yuan you gave us, we’ve managed to get a lot of grain.”
"Third brother, you're really capable! We can have a good New Year this year, and we can also send some food to your little sister."
