The supermarket was quiet everywhere, in stark contrast to its original bustling appearance.
Jiang Manyue walked around the supermarket several times but didn't see a single person. Apart from her, the only living things in the supermarket were the fish, shrimps and crabs in the seafood section.
Could this supermarket be the golden finger given for traveling through time?
Jiang Manyue tried to pick up a pack of instant noodles at hand and said to herself, "I want to go out."
The next moment, Jiang Manyue's eyes blurred and she couldn't help but close her eyes and open them again, only to be faced with darkness in the room.
After getting used to the darkness, Jiang Manyue used the moonlight to see clearly that she was now sleeping in the same bed as before, except that she had a pack of instant noodles in her hand.
Jiang Manyue was so excited that she quickly closed her eyes and silently said "I want to go in" and came to the supermarket again.
Looking at the dazzling array of goods in the supermarket, Jiang Manyue couldn't control herself and burst into laughter.
In this era of food shortage and material scarcity, the supplies in this supermarket are her greatest reliance.
After Jiang Manyue calmed down her excitement, she walked around the supermarket again and inspected her territory and assets.
But when she walked near the cashier counter, she found that the space outside the cashier counter was the same as in the supermarket, everything was normal but there was no movement.
Jiang Manyue tried to open the checkout door and walked towards the shopping mall space outside the supermarket.
Without any hindrance, Jiang Manyue walked to the atrium of the mall, and looking up she saw the six-story mall dome.
Does this whole mall belong to me?
Jiang Manyue's eyes lit up. She had been to this mall several times and knew that there were two gold shops, as well as high-end pharmacies, watch and jewelry stores, and other shops.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Manyue picked up something from the mall and returned to the room.
The things she took from the mall were still in her hands, which meant that she could indeed use everything in the mall at will.
Jiang Manyue rolled over on the bed excitedly. Now she not only had daily necessities to exchange for money, but also had two gold shops as a reserve of wealth!
With excitement in her heart, Jiang Manyue strolled around the mall until midnight. Finally, she was so sleepy that she managed to calm down and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Jiang Manyue woke up, got dressed and prepared to go to the county town.
Her task today was not only to find books, but also to find out where the black market in the county was.
Jiang Manyue once heard an old man tell a story. He said that in the 1960s and 1970s, you had to have a ticket to buy anything, but there were only so many tickets, not enough for a family, so many people chose to trade privately. Over time, a place similar to a market was formed.
This kind of market is not allowed by the authorities, so it is called a black market.
In the original owner's memory, she had also heard people talk about the black market, but she only heard that someone's things were exchanged from the black market, and she had never heard of the specific location of the black market.
Jiang Manyue didn't know whether this black market was easy to find, but if she wanted to make money by taking advantage of the situation in recent years, she had to deal with the black market.
In the yard, Li Guifen was chopping grass for pigs to feed the chickens. Seeing Jiang Manyue packed up and ready to go out, she didn't care and just thought she was going back to her parents' home again.
Jiang Manyue casually greeted Li Guifen and left without saying where she was going.
Li Guifen looked at her back and always felt that she seemed to have changed her personality since she fainted yesterday. Not only did she not lose her temper last night and also gave a long explanation, but she also knew to say hello to people when she went out today.
"What's wrong with her? Could it be that she guessed that Lao Lu and I were going to ask A Lin to come back and divorce her, and she's just putting it on display?"
Li Guifen couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She had made up her mind anyway: Jiang Manyue and A Lin were not suitable to be husband and wife at all. It would be better for them to divorce early, so as to avoid becoming enemies in the future, which would be bad for both families.
Shortly after Jiang Manyue left, Li Guifen finished feeding the chickens and prepared breakfast. Lu Qingyou took leave from the team leader's house and came back. He quickly finished his breakfast and rushed to the county town to send a telegram.
"Remember, don't talk nonsense. Just say you're going home for the holidays to get a divorce. Here's the address, keep it."
Lu Qingyou carefully placed the note with the address of Lu Lin's unit in his chest pocket and assured him, "Don't worry, you've read it several times, I remember it. It's just a few words, how could I forget it?"
Li Guifen thought for a moment and gave him some more money and notes. "After you send the telegram, go buy Jun'an a can of malted milk. The one at home is almost finished."
Lu Qing nodded to show that he understood. Just as he was about to leave, Li Guifen stopped him again, "Please bring back some cakes when you buy malted milk. Don't let people say that we only gave all of Ah Lin's money to Jun An."
Lu Qingyou knew exactly what Li Guifen meant. He couldn't help but sigh and went out.
Li Guifen looked at it worriedly for a long time before turning back to continue doing housework.
Jiang Manyue had already arrived at the county town, and taking advantage of the fact that many people were buying vegetables and rice at that time, she randomly found someone to ask for directions.
"Sister, my mom asked me to go out and buy food, but we've already used up all our food coupons. I want to ask, do you know where I can buy food without using food coupons?"
As soon as Jiang Manyue asked, the older sister looked at her warily and said, "I don't know of any place where you can buy food without food coupons."
"Okay, thank you, big sister. It's okay if you don't know. I'll ask someone else to see if anyone knows where I can buy food without food coupons."
Jiang Manyue's eyes were full of loss. She stood there helplessly, looking at the people coming and going.
The older sister felt sorry for her because she was still a young girl. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Did your mother ask you to find a place to buy food without food coupons?"
Jiang Manyue nodded at her. "I have many brothers in my family, and the food coupons are really not enough to spend. My mother heard from someone yesterday that there is a place where you can buy food without food coupons, so she asked me to go out and ask around. If I can buy some food and take it home, we won't have to go hungry."
Seeing that Jiang Manyue was very sincere, the elder sister pulled her aside and showed her a clear way.
"If you want to buy food without coupons, just walk straight down this road to the end and then turn left. Go into the second alley. There's someone guarding it. Tell them that rice is 10.40 yuan a pound today, and they'll let you in. Next time you want to go there, just calculate what day it is and change the price."
Jiang Manyue quickly thanked the kind elder sister with a look of surprise, and followed the direction the elder sister pointed to and went to the black market.
When she reached the entrance of the second alley that her elder sister mentioned, Jiang Manyue hesitated for a moment but didn't go in. She turned around and found a deserted place to enter the space.
She had to change her clothes before going in, otherwise if she met someone she knew, she would be confused.
