After saying that, Jiang Mengxue left alone, and the goods were naturally left to them to deal with.
After Jiang Mengxue left, footsteps could be heard faintly around her, and low voices could be heard from the direction she left.
Guan Hongqi felt uneasy and felt that there was indeed someone behind him. Fortunately, he paid the money readily, otherwise he and his group would at least be beaten up.
Guan Hongjun didn't think about this at all. He just crouched down, turned his head around, and said in a low voice, "Brother, let's run quickly. There seems to be someone around."
Guan Hongqi simply didn't want to pay any attention to this mentally retarded brother. He walked up and slapped him on the head, "If you knew someone was here, why didn't you grab your things and leave quickly?"
Jiang Mengxue took off her makeup, changed her clothes, took out the things given by the hospital and went home.
Of course, there was no real person talking just now. It was just the audio she had recorded from her mobile phone in advance, and it was coming out from under her clothes.
She just wanted to scare them and remind them that she also had someone behind her, so they should stop plotting against her behind her back, otherwise they would have their legs broken.
If it were any later, the yard might have been locked. It would have been nice if there was a door in the middle yard, but it seemed like there were residents all around the house, and opening the door would have meant entering someone else's yard.
Many of the small courtyards around are private, and some of the confiscated courtyards are divided among several families to live together.
I don’t know if those vacant residential plots can be sold. If I can build a house myself, I don’t have to give up this small room now.
It was already eight o'clock when I got home, mainly because it took some effort to walk.
The yard was pitch black, and kerosene lamps had to be bought with money, so everyone ate and worked before it got dark, and went to bed when it got dark.
She didn't meet anyone when she entered the yard, which was exactly what Jiang Mengxue wanted.
When I got home, I didn't even bother to eat. I sat on the bed and started counting money.
I sold it at Guan Lao Da for more than 2,000 yuan, and I also sold it twice on the black market for about 200 yuan. The housing allowance given by the hospital is 150 yuan. After working for the past few months, apart from paying for the family and rent, I only have a few dozen yuan left for my daily expenses.
I now have a total of about 2,500 yuan.
The main thing is the watch, but Jiang Mengxue plans to show it again later because it is too eye-catching.
The greatest shortage in the next few years or even decades will be food.
According to the history that Jiang Mengxue looked at, starting from the second half of this year, grain supplies have decreased across the country.
The three years of natural disasters in 1959, 1960 and 1961 can actually be seen from this year.
Even for the next ten years, food was the most important thing.
Although the drought and water shortage will not cause people to die of thirst, large areas of land in rural areas will suffer reduced production due to water shortage.
It is the autumn harvest season recently. If the grain yield is reduced during this harvest, life will be difficult both in rural areas and in cities.
I can see the future clearly, but I cannot change the present situation.
Although Jiang Mengxue has a lot of food in her space and can sell a lot of it on the black market, it is still a minority after all.
She doesn't have that much ability, all she can do is protect her family through these difficult years.
I was no longer in the mood to cook. The hot water was kept warm on the stove, and the air vent cover at the bottom of the stove was lightly covered, so the fire was not big.
Pour the hot water into the stove and put the honeycomb coal in an iron bucket to store it in a safe. Take it out when you need it to avoid starting a fire next time.
I drank the bowl of dumpling soup left over from the morning, cleaned the table, and took out the large bathtub from the space to take a bath.
The weather is not too cold now and I can take a shower at home, but in winter I will have to go to the bathhouse.
There is a warm tent in the space, hung on the ceiling, and the bathtub is placed inside, so it is very warm to take a bath in it.
Finally getting a good night's sleep, Jiang Mengxue slept until after eight o'clock the next morning.
I got up, changed my clothes, and went to the yard with a basin to wash.
Aunt Liu from next door was carrying a basket and looked like she was going out.
"Auntie, are you going out?"
"Doctor Jiang, get up. Aren't you going to work today?
I made an appointment with your Aunt Zhang in the front yard to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Yesterday I heard that the food factory had shipped a batch of mooncakes, but by the time we found out, they were all gone. So I planned to go check it out early today."
"Then you should go quickly. There will definitely be a lot of people this morning. If you go too late, you won't be able to get in line."
"Well, I have to leave quickly."
As he said this, he trotted to the front yard with a basket to find Aunt Zhang.
The well water is ice-cold, and putting a towel on my face makes me feel much more energetic.
"Doctor Jiang just got up. If you ask me, what girl would sleep until the sun is shining on her butt before getting up? If she doesn't get up early in the morning to wash clothes, cook and serve the whole family, she will be called a lazy woman by her in-laws when she gets to her husband's house."
As soon as Jiang Mengxue heard the voice, she knew who was coming without even looking.
"Really? Aunt Cao, why didn't your Yifei come to help you wash your clothes? She's such a grown-up girl, can't she wash her own clothes?"
"My daughter Yifei is going to take the college entrance exam. After graduation, she will have a stable job. I and her sister-in-law are at home, so there is no need for her to do these things."
"Really? Unlike me, I left home to go to school at a young age, and finally graduated from college. Now I work on my own and don't rely on my parents. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to do the laundry or cook, and I could just go home and eat ready-made meals every day."
