Chapter 17 Black Market Transactions



"Thank you, Director Chen. I've already made an agreement with Doctors Li and Wang. They'll take turns covering my shifts."

There are five days left at the end of the month, plus the one-day holiday for Mid-Autumn Festival, so I can have a total of five days off.

"No problem, just make your own arrangements."

"Doctor Xiao Jiang, I remember hearing that the house allocated to you by the street office is in the house in East Lane, right?"

"Yes, they are the two rooms in the middle courtyard."

"How is your stay there? If you have any problems, please report them to the hospital immediately. If there is anything that is not suitable, the hospital will find a way to solve it for you."

"Thank you, Director. The house over there is quite nice. It's quite spacious for me to live in alone now."

Director Chen nodded and said, "I've heard of that place before. The original owner of that house was a wealthy businessman, and the materials and engineering used when building the house were very good.

Originally, the hospital should have solved your housing problem, but since the street office has already allocated you a house, it's difficult for the hospital to allocate another one, so the hospital has given you 150 yuan. You can go to the finance department to collect it later. The hospital won't cover these during the first three months of internship, but once you become a regular employee, the hospital will give you the same amount. Think of it as your housing allowance."

Jiang Mengxue didn't expect to receive such a big surprise after this trip, and she thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you, Director. I will do my best. As long as I am in this position, I will be loyal to my duties, save lives and heal the wounded, uphold medical ethics, develop comprehensively, and be loyal to the people and the Party."

Director Chen was stunned by Jiang Mengxue's words and took a few seconds to react.

"Hahahaha, good, good, good. Comrade Xiao Jiang is right. The hospital needs young people like you. Remember what you said today. Be a person and do things worthy of the white coat you wear. Work hard. Young people have a bright future."

"It's all thanks to Director Chen's leadership."

With Director Chen's assurance, the work will go smoothly in the future.

After leaving the director's office, she went to the finance department to get the money. If she saved up a little more, she could buy the two rooms she lived in now. How could Jiang Mengxue not be excited?

After a leisurely afternoon, when it was time to get off work, I picked up the holiday gift I received at noon and left the hospital with my small bag on my back.

Of course, it was impossible to go home directly at this time, so I found a public toilet and put all my things into the space.

She put on yesterday's old lady's makeup, wrapped her hair in a headscarf, and put a lot of things in her backpack just like yesterday.

There are just as many people in the black market today as there were yesterday, and it's even more lively.

Many people who had bought things from Jiang Mengxue yesterday came over to her when they saw her coming.

The old lady was already waiting here yesterday.

Fortunately, Jiang Mengxue didn't forget the thermos that she had promised the old lady.

Seeing the old lady's nervous expression, I knew what she was worried about.

She said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I didn't forget your thermos. Wait for me to get them one by one."

The thermos and eggs on the top, ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of flour at the bottom, and today there are also ten bags of moon cakes weighing one kilogram, ten pieces of pork belly, three old hens, and three big roosters.

The combined weight of the stuff weighed dozens of kilograms, and it felt heavy on her back. Fortunately, Jiang Mengxue still had some strength left.

I handed the thermos to the old lady first. She didn't dare to hesitate and gave me the money happily.

I also bought an old hen and two strips of pork belly, probably preparing meat dishes for the festival.

A thermos costs 12 yuan, an egg costs 1.95 yuan, ten pieces of pork belly cost 14 yuan, six chickens cost 24 yuan, a mooncake costs 12 yuan, and rice and flour cost 12 yuan.

I sold dozens of dollars today, and nearly two hundred dollars in the two-day holiday.

She packed up and prepared to go back, but was stopped by someone before she even left the house. Jiang Mengxue immediately looked unfriendly and turned to see who it was.

"Sister, don't get me wrong, it's me, Guan Hongjun, the gatekeeper."

Seeing Jiang Mengxue's unfriendly look, the visitor lowered his head embarrassedly.

Nowadays, when you walk around shouting, it’s either about the Red Army or about building an army and a nation. This is the characteristic of this era.

But Jiang Mengxue didn't want to have too much dealings with them: "What's the matter?"

"Sister, I just want to ask, our boss really wants to trade with you. Don't worry, the price won't be lower than if you sell it alone."

Jiang Mengxue thought about it and decided that selling them piecemeal like this would not work. She said that she didn't know how many people had noticed them during these two times on the black market.

She had originally planned not to come here again, but she didn't mind making a little extra money.

"That depends on how much your boss can offer."

Guan Hongjun's face lit up with joy: "I'll take you to talk to our boss. He lives not far away, just around the corner."

Guan Hongjun pushed open the door of a house at the end of the alley and shouted into the main hall, "Brother, brother, I've brought the person here."

After a while, a man who looked very similar to Guan Hongjun walked out of the main room, with the same dark face.

Guan Hongjun introduced them, "Sister, this is my elder brother Guan Hongqi. If you have any conditions, just tell him directly."

Then he turned to Guan Hongqi and said, "Brother, this is the elder sister I told you about yesterday."

Guan Hongqi nodded: "I wonder what you can exchange for it?"
