Chapter 10 Black Market
Mo Zhicheng poured himself a drink at the dinner table, drinking one cup after another. As the alcohol got to him, his face gradually turned red.
The two children each picked up a piece of food for Mo Zhicheng and Song Yi with their chopsticks, their mouths as sweet as honey.
For the previous eight years, they depended on their mother and had never seen any other relatives.
Now that they can have dinner with their grandparents, the two children are so happy.
Mo Fei looked at the similar smiling faces on the dining table, and her heart seemed to be brushed by a gentle feather, and it softened.
Unexpectedly, the chandelier above the dining table began to flicker. Mo Fei's heart tightened, and his first reaction was that an earthquake was coming.
Song Yi didn't even look at the chandelier and said, "It's an old problem. It flickered a lot before and broke down several times. Ask your dad to fix it tomorrow."
Mo Fei was relieved. She hesitated for a long time and said, "Dad, Mom, I actually have something I want to ask you for help."
Mo Zhicheng glanced at Mo Fei in confusion.
During these eight years, Mo Fei was like a tough nut. No matter how hard life tried, he refused to bow to his parents.
This was only their second meeting after eight years, and Mo Fei already had something to say.
Mo Zhicheng originally thought that Mo Fei wanted to ask for help because of some financial difficulties, but unexpectedly, Mo Fei said that she was going on a long journey tomorrow, which would take at least one or two days, or at most three or five days.
The two children are only eight years old now and have no one to take care of them.
She hoped that Song Yi and Mo Zhicheng could go to her place and help take care of the child for a few days.
Song Yi loved the two children very much. She was worried that Mo Fei would take the children away after dinner. After hearing what Mo Fei said, Song Yi immediately laughed and said repeatedly: "Why did you tell your parents whether to help or not? Let's go! Let's go!"
"Dad, you..." Mo Fei looked at Mo Zhicheng, hoping that he could also express his opinion.
Mo Zhicheng was drunk, his face was red, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or not. He just said "hmm" faintly.
Mo Jianian put down his chopsticks: "Mom, where are you going? Why can't you take me and my sister with you?"
He always remembered Mo Fei's fainting and was very reluctant to be separated from him.
Mo Fei tried to comfort him for a while, and just said that there was something very important that needed to be done concerning the family.
Mo Jianian reluctantly agreed.
The family of five packed up their things in the old house and stayed there until the sun went down and the sky became a little cooler before they prepared to set out for Mo Fei's newly rented house.
The seven-seater car was packed with people.
Mo Fei was stunned.
Song Yi almost emptied half of the kitchen of food, most of which were bacon and sausages.
There were so many cured products that Song Yi and Mo Zhicheng alone could not finish them all. I don’t know why they made so many.
Mo Zhicheng took a nap in the afternoon and felt much less drunk.
He saw Mo Fei's doubts and said dully, "Your mother buys one or two hundred kilograms of meat every year to cook. You have loved eating this since you were a child. She is afraid that if you figure it out and are willing to come back, she can cook it for you."
But in the past eight years, Mo Fei never came back. So every year, the bacon and sausages were spoiled and had to be made again, and then spoiled again, over and over again. Fortunately, he finally came back this year.
Mo Fei was stunned for a long time, and then he said when he started the car: "Eat, I will eat all of this from now on, every meal."
"Jia Nian, Jia Yue, you take grandpa and grandma home first, mom will go pick up the express." Mo Fei said as he parked the car at the entrance of Area D. The things in the car were unloaded, and they took some of them up first, and she would move the heavy ones later.
There were many missed calls and text messages on her phone, all of which were various express deliveries that arrived today. Because the storefront was far away and the property management in the community was crowded, Mo Fei filled in the express delivery address at a restaurant outside the community. There was an empty storefront next to the restaurant, and the restaurant owner planned to contract a Cainiao Express Station here. It was still in the planning stage, and it was unknown when it would be officially launched.
Mo Fei directly gave the restaurant owner 500 yuan and asked him to help receive the express deliveries that arrived in the past half month and pile them all in this empty storefront. She would come to pick them up in the evening.
The restaurant owner smiled from ear to ear and agreed without hesitation, handing Mo Fei a key to the storefront. But he added at the end: "I open the door at 8 am and close it at 8 pm. You can only take care of it. If you lose anything, you can't look for me."
Mo Fei had no objection. Among the things she bought, the deliveries of camping tents, shovels, electric drills, and folding beds were relatively large and conspicuous, so even if someone wanted to steal them, they would have to think twice. As for the smaller ones, such as toilet paper, towels, toothpaste, candles, canned food, etc., she bought a lot of them.
She was too lazy to sort out what had arrived, and would just put everything into her space after receiving it.
She drove to the restaurant. Because the occupancy rate was low and there was no business at night, the restaurant owner closed the restaurant at eight o'clock. It was pitch dark in the place. This was exactly what Mo Fei wanted.
She inserted the key into the lock and opened the door. She didn't even turn on the lights in the store, and started to sweep with the help of the light from her phone. Anyway, the store was full of her express deliveries, which she would slowly unpack after scanning them into the space. After unpacking the items in the space, they would not only be automatically classified, but the garbage would also be uniformly sorted into the "express bag" category. Mo Fei could then take them out and throw them away.
After making sure that all the piles of express deliveries were collected, Mo Fei locked the door and got in the car. With a thought, she disappeared from the driver's seat.
It took more than 40 minutes to open the package. This was considered fast. Because the packages of rice and flour were only labeled, so there was no need to open them. Moreover, Mo Fei felt that his strength was much greater than before, and it took no effort to tear open a tightly packed package.
Some of these deliveries were daily clothing and bedding for all seasons for men, women, young and old, as well as sportswear, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats, fire blankets, sweat-wicking socks, trekking poles, and climbing ropes bought from some of the largest outdoor sports stores in China. They even bought some moisture-proof matches, camping lanterns, water filters, alcohol stoves, and two rubber boats.
When she placed an order on the online store, perhaps because she kept buying, the customer service staff even sent her a large coupon in a pop-up message, saving Mo Fei several hundred yuan. Another pile of scattered express deliveries were basic medicines that can be bought in major pharmacies across the country, such as alcohol, iodine, vitamin C, cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, Band-Aids, gauze, etc. These medicines were limited in purchase, and Mo Fei had to buy a little bit from each store to get a barely enough amount.
In addition to the arrival of clothes, bedding, outdoor supplies and medicines, what made Mo Fei happiest was the arrival of three second-hand platform computers and two 16T solid-state hard drives.
Mo Fei's tablet is filled with recipes, planting techniques, breeding techniques, self-defense, escape knowledge, first aid knowledge, and various encyclopedias. For the children's tablets, she will download online courses from elementary school to high school, as well as escape, first aid and self-defense knowledge. Of course, some necessary anime and TV series are indispensable.
It would be meaningless to live without some entertainment.
Not enough, absolutely not enough. Mo Fei felt like a hamster, suffering from hoarding addiction.
She drove into the community.
Song Yi and Mo Zhicheng said they were going to come to Mo Fei's house, and they were a little worried that the old couple wouldn't be able to stay. As soon as they entered the house, they found that their room was right at the entrance.
Mo Fei threw all the things in the original utility room into the space, reinstalled the air conditioner, and equipped it with a large bed and a soft four-piece bedding set. He even put in a massage chair that looked expensive.
"Look at you. You were still worried about this and that before you came. You wanted to bring this and take that. Our Feifei has already arranged everything." Song Yi sat on the soft bed for a while. She was so satisfied that she couldn't be more satisfied.
Mo Zhicheng snorted, but couldn't find any fault with it.
"Grandpa, I'll take you to see it. Mom also bought you a set of tea sets!" The obedient Jiayue took Mo Zhicheng's hand and led him to a corner of the living room to see it.
Mo Zhicheng looked at his little granddaughter, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said yes repeatedly.
He always felt that his grandson was not very close to him, and at such a young age, he was as serious as an adult. Fortunately, his lovely granddaughter was very attached to him. Thinking of this, Mo Zhicheng couldn't help but show off to his wife proudly.
Song Yi was too lazy to pay attention to him.
After a while, Jianian, who had poured water for grandpa and grandma, came over and said, "Grandma, can I give you a back massage? My mom said I'm very good at back massages."
"Okay, okay. Our Jianian is so well behaved, just like your mother when she was a child." Song Yi was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
When Mo Fei returned home, he saw the happy scene of grandparents and grandchildren, and Mo Fei smiled.
Her flight tomorrow morning will go directly to the black market in northern China, which is known as the Black Land.
There are large areas of black soil in the black market. Black soil is a humus soil formed by the accumulation of a large number of dead branches and leaves. It is the most fertile and most suitable land for farming in the world.
Food! There are countless high-quality food there. Even if she can't set up a stall to make money for a while, Mo Fei has to go to the black market first.
Mo Fei did not tell her family where she was going or what time she was going.
But when she was about to go out with a backpack at 7 o'clock in the morning, she found a bank card and a note at the door of her room.
The handwriting on the note was vigorous and powerful, and it was obvious that it was written by an elderly man.
Just ten words: 500,000, password 384421
Mo Fei was stunned for a long time before picking up the note and bank card, and walked to the door of his parents' room. It was quiet inside.
Parents' love for their children is always silent and unreserved.
The original owner's parents were just ordinary cadres and employees. I'm afraid that this 500,000 yuan was all the savings that his parents had accumulated over the years.
They didn't keep a penny and gave it all to Mo Fei. Although they didn't know what Mo Fei was going to do, they chose to believe her.
With his parents' unconditional love, Mo Fei landed safely at Taiping International Airport.
Being in a completely unfamiliar city, Mo Fei did not run around like a headless fly.
She contacted Luo Chao, a college classmate whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Luo Chao is a native black market guy, a sunny and cheerful black market guy.
The year the original owner dropped out of sophomore year, he basically lost contact with all his classmates.
But Luo Chao was not her classmate, but a junior who was one year younger than her.
At that time, she was still in the News Department of the Student Union. Luo Chao had just joined the News Department and was assigned to work under Mo Fei to participate in activities together.
Except for class time, the two are basically together, either taking pictures, interviewing or writing articles. They are known as the golden pair. Their work photos have even made the headlines on the campus network's homepage.
Luo Chao had said back then that he was a black market guy, his family ran a grain processing plant and several farms, and he had invited Mo Fei to the black market several times.
But Mo Fei didn't make it, and later he dropped out of school and disappeared.
The golden duo has since broken up, and the two have not been in touch for eight years. The only reason they can be in touch now is because Luo Chao has not changed his mobile phone number.
When Luo Chao received the call this time, she only heard Mo Fei say "Excuse me, is this Luo Chao?" and then she recognized her voice, which made her very surprised and happy. Mo Fei did not see Luo Chao through the phone and even jumped up from his chair.
After knowing that Mo Fei would come to the black market, Luo Chao immediately decided to accompany Mo Fei to have fun in the black market for a few days. He didn't know that Mo Fei came to the black market just to purchase things, and he was looking for him purely because he was unfamiliar with the place and wanted to find a guide.
Mo Fei checked the weather on the black market. This place is located in the north of China. Even when the temperature starts to rise everywhere, the weather is still normal. Mo Fei simply wore a white shirt and a pair of dark blue nine-point jeans. She tied her hair up high and carried a backpack.
This outfit reduced the aura of the original owner that was overwhelmed by life. Mo Fei now looked like a college student who was still studying.
But her height of only 1.65 meters made her stand out among the black market crowd, where the average height was over 1.75 meters. She was almost invisible.
"Senior sister!!!" An extremely enthusiastic voice sounded behind Mo Fei.
