Chapter 83 Who is blind?

"Hehe, my Ranran is still smart!"

Liu Zhaodi's face, which was previously indignant, quickly brightened up and she was happy: "You are smart for once. Just hold this money in your hand. Even if your parents-in-law give some to the three elders, the bulk of it will be in your hands in the end. Just pretend you know nothing."

"Yeah, I think so too. Mom~"

Huang Xinran also laughed.

She went back to her parents' home to avoid the limelight. She just didn't believe that the brothers from the Lu family could still chase after the Huang family.

As long as she could get through these few days and wait for Lu Yunchen to complete all the formalities, she could set off at any time and take her two children with her to join the army.

But before that, she had to exchange all the fabrics in her hands for money as soon as possible.

It takes someone to look after children and adults in confinement. Fortunately, Yaya and Maomao are very sensible. They follow Huang Xinran around and help her do a lot of things.

However, Huang Xinran only let the two children do some small things, such as picking vegetables and sweeping the floor.

Perhaps because there were fewer people around to disturb them, Huang Xinran was more adept at her work and made clothes faster. She and Liu Zhaodi could make about 20 to 30 pieces of clothing a day. Sister-in-law Wenying wanted to help, but they wouldn't let her. They just let Wenying lie down and rest more to avoid postpartum illness.

Without waiting for any news from the Lu family, Huang Xinran went into the city with Huang Hongyi again and sold clothes.

This time the sales are even better than last time!

Almost all the clothes I brought were sold out. After asking around, I found out that a small fashion trend has swept the city. Bell-bottom jeans with a shirt and curly hair have become the most popular fashion style.

Huang Xinran saw this and discussed with Huang Hongyi. They decided to go into the city again the next day to sell all the bell-bottom jeans they had.

Compared to the prices ranging from eight to twenty yuan on the first day, the prices on this day became more and more stable, and later stabilized at twenty yuan per piece, allowing the two to make a lot of money.

And at this moment, it was just noon.

"Sister, you are really capable!"

Huang Hongyi was so happy that his teeth were showing. He pulled Huang Xinran to go to the state-owned hotel for dinner, "Are you hungry? Come on, big brother will treat you to dinner~!"

"Okay, big brother, you have to treat us to this meal!" Huang Xinran said.

"Don't worry, it's okay!"

Huang Hongyi patted his chest loudly and pulled her away.

However, they didn't notice that there was a figure following them.

Little Tail didn't run away quickly until he saw the two of them enter the state-owned hotel.

In fact, I didn’t feel it in small rural areas, but when I came to the city, the appearance of the city in the 1980s had changed a lot compared to the previous years.

The biggest difference is that there are more small shops on the street, and even a few more food shops. However, the shops are not big, and they are a bit sneaky, and they will quickly close down at the slightest sign of trouble.

In a short period of time, Huang Hongyi had a lot of money in his hands, which made him stand up straight and dare to stare at the meat dishes in the hotel. "Sister, how about this braised pork intestines and lamb tail? One portion of each? And another portion of braised pork with rice."

Huang Xinran also took a look at the prices of the meat dishes. Braised pork intestines cost RMB 1.50 per serving, lamb tails cost RMB 1.80 per serving, and braised pork with pork belly was slightly cheaper at RMB 1.20. The lamb tails here actually refer to fat cut into strips, coated with starch, deep-fried in a pan until the oil is drained out of the pan, and then coated with sugar. For people these days, this dish is really a must-try, not to mention how popular it is.

"Okay, that's all."

It's just a few dollars, and the siblings don't care about it now.

"Okay, that's all! Two more bowls of rice!"

Huang Hongyi was very hungry, and his whole mind and eyes were filled with the thought of filling his stomach.

Huang Xinran was also hungry, but she was fine, as she had already eaten a pancake on the way here. Even so, when the meat and vegetables came, she couldn't help but drooling, and she picked up the bowl and started eating.

The two of them were eating happily. Huang Xinran nearly choked. He raised his head to take a sip of water, but was keenly aware of a pair of gazes staring at him. He subconsciously raised his head to look, but saw nothing.

Is it because I am dazzled?

She shook her head and buried her head in her food again. In the end, she was a little more cautious.

When it was time to pay the bill, Huang Hongyi rushed to pay the bill: "Don't rush, sister. We agreed that big brother will treat us. Don't compete with me." He laughed happily.

This is not a big deal, but the terrible thing is that when he settled the bill, he actually took out a lot of money from his hand, and took out small amounts of money, meat coupons, and grain coupons, which made Huang Xinran's forehead throb.

"Brother, please put the money away..."

She hurriedly tried to cover it up, but Huang Hongyi didn't understand what she meant and looked at her with confused eyes: "What's wrong with my sister?"

"It's OK."

Seeing her brother casually stuffing the money into his trouser pockets and even covering it with his hands, the thick stack of money pushed one side of his trousers high, she could only sigh inwardly.

Forget it. It's what it is.

"Brother, I have a stomachache. Let's go quickly."

"Sister, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital? This place is very close to the hospital, we can get there quickly..."

"Stop talking! Brother, let's go."

Huang Xinran didn't want to hear this at all, so she pulled him and ran quickly to the street, choosing places with a lot of people. When they came to an alley, she pulled her brother into the alley and said, "Quick, take out all the money you have and give it to me!"

At this point, Huang Hongyi also realized something was wrong: "Sister..."

"Don't say anything, don't ask anything, just come to me quickly."

Huang Hongyi obediently gave it to her.

Huang Xinran quickly took off his shoes, stuffed the money into them, and tied up his shoelaces. It was just a makeshift solution, but there was no other way.

She put the rest of the money directly into her pocket and said, "Let's go separately! After we get out of the alley, you run to the main road. We'll meet at the place we agreed with Wang Hongjun in the morning. Don't stand there like an idiot, run!" After saying that, she pushed Huang Hongyi, turned around and ran into the alley.

But soon, he was caught up by the people behind.

Huang Xinran then saw clearly that they were actually two young thugs.

"Hey, you run really fast, little girl!"

The other party was obviously obsessed with money. After failing to steal, he even thought of robbing by force.

Huang Xinran looked around and saw that there were two passers-by who also ran away when they noticed the thug's fierce look. He felt relieved at that moment.

No one is good!

She could do what she wanted only when no one was around. Otherwise, if she scared someone, how could she survive in the outside world?
