It took half an hour to ride out of the city, and Xia Youyou saw a BJ130 parked at the city gate.
"You want to load this truck with grain?" How much will it take?
"Yes, it can hold two tons."
Xia Youyou took a breath and said, "You wait here, I'll go find my brother." Big business!
Qi Siling watched her run toward the cultivated fields. It was a bit strange. It was already winter, so why would anyone start growing vegetables? What were all those sheds for?
Xiao Hai got out of the car and followed his gaze. "Brother Qi, did you find someone?" He had just dozed off and woke up when he heard the voice. Looking at the small black figure still running in the distance, he touched his shoulder.
"Found it. There's hope." More than just hope, the little girl didn't refuse outright, which meant there were so many goods! Maybe there were even more!
Xia Youyou ran to the temporary house built by Cao An and looked out the door. She happened to see Cao An looking at the door. She smiled and waved at him, "Brother!"
Cao An was tickled by his sister's delicate color and wanted to pinch her! "Why are you here?" When he walked over, he saw that the little girl was dirty. "What did you do? How did you get like this?" Her hair was all messed up!
Xia Youyou let Cao An re-comb her hair. She glanced around, making sure no one was around, and whispered, "I was in danger just now." She reached out to calm him down, grabbing his wrist as he was about to explode. "I'm fine. We've already taken care of it, and we've even got Brother Li Zhao to arrest that guy. He said he had a grudge against you, and that's why he wanted to kidnap me and threaten you."
"Who is that person?" The veins on Cao An's forehead stood up. He clenched his teeth. If he came looking for him, he would come at him. Who was he to go after a child?
"I think it's called Scar. Brother Li Zhao said so."
"Okay, wait for me to go back and deal with him!" After saying that, he was about to walk out.
Xia Youyou quickly grabbed him and said, "Brother, I didn't come here to talk to you about this."
Cao An turned around and looked at her in confusion. Isn't this a big deal?
"That man in black came to me again to exchange food. This time he wanted a lot, and I didn't know whether to trade with him, so I came to you."
"The man in black? The one with the big yellow croaker?"
"right!"
"Where is he?"
"He said he had just arrived in Bao City and his car was parked at the city gate."
Cao An remembered seeing a truck parked at the city gate from a distance. Pulling Xia Youyou out of the temporary house, he asked, "Is that it?" He looked at the truck in the distance. There were two people standing next to it. It was too far away to be clear.
"Hmm! Do you think we should sell it? He said he only had yellow stuff and no money."
"That depends on you. You work so hard selling grain, isn't it just for the money?" Cao An felt helpless. The grain was all hers, so why was she still asking whether she wanted to sell it?
"No, I'm not doing it for the money. I sell it because I can use it later. Even if it's garbage, I don't care."
Cao An patted her head in amusement. This girl had been taking better care of herself recently. Her hair had gradually regained its luster and become much smoother, very pleasant to the touch.
"Let's go over there and meet him."
Qi Siling watched as a large figure and a small figure slowly approached. There was a strange sense of dissonance between the two: one as strong as an ox, the other as delicate as a rabbit. But the man was like a lion ready to hunt, while the girl was more like a cunning and malicious fox.
Cao An and the other man stopped in front of the two men and took a closer look. It was obvious that the taller one was the one in charge.
"My name is Cao An, and this is my sister, Xia Youyou." She stretched out her hand in front of the taller man.
"Qi Siling, this is Xiao Hai." Qi Siling shook hands with Cao An. He looked at the two men, one tall and one short, in surprise. Why did they have two different surnames?
The two men clasped hands tightly and then let go. Cao An shook hands with Xiao Hai again, and this marked their formal acquaintance.
"How much food do you want? How do you want to exchange it?"
"This car can tow two tons. If there is any, it will take two tons. As for how to exchange it, you can do it. But I don't have any money. I do have yellow goods and jewelry."
"Can I ask where you got these things? You know we won't be safe with them."
"To be honest, they belong to our ancestors, buried underground, and haven't been confiscated." Since the other party was sincere, Qi Siling would not hide it. Besides, he had already told the little girl the whole story before, but she just didn't believe it.
Xia Youyou, who had been silent all this time, tugged at Cao An's clothes, signaling him to lower his head.
Cao An lowered his head in confusion, moved closer to her, and listened to what she said in her ear. A hint of doting appeared on his fierce face, and his big palm like a palm fan rubbed her soft hair.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I forgot." Xia Youyou had just heard Qi Siling say that it was something from her ancestors, but she forgot to tell Cao An about it.
Qi Siling watched the two interacting, and a tingling itch welled up inside him. He also wanted to rub that little head. This little girl was completely different from the little ones in the yard. He calmly turned his gaze away, watching them coming from the fields, and asked in confusion, "What are you planning to grow here? Can you grow anything in winter?"
Xia Youyou nudged Cao An with her elbow and said, "My brother has come up with a way to grow vegetables and is trying it out here."
Seeing her defensive stance, Qi Siling felt amused and stopped asking. "Do you want to discuss how to exchange food?"
Cao An put his arm around Xia Youyou's shoulders and pushed her aside. "Please wait here for a moment. I'll talk to her."
Xia Youyou was pushed along, and only after making sure that the people over there couldn't hear their conversation did they begin to discuss it seriously. "Brother, how much do you think we should ask for?" Her hand unconsciously tugged at his shirt. "Do you think there's other jewelry? Can we take a look first?" She kind of liked sparkly things and wondered if he had any.
"If we exchange one yellow croaker for 100 kilograms of gold that day, that would be 4,000 kilograms, or 40 pieces. If he can show you other jewelry, take a look first. If you like any, we can talk to him later."
Xia Youyou nodded vigorously, okay, okay!
Qi Siling, who was far away, found the little girl nodding her head so adorable. The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously. Xiao Hai accidentally saw it and felt like he had seen a ghost.
"Brother Qi, did you laugh just now?"
"No, you're dazzled."
Xiao Hai's face was filled with disbelief. He couldn't be wrong! Suspiciously, he followed his gaze and looked at the two people whispering in the distance.
After a while, Cao An and Xia Youyou walked back. After stopping, they faced Qi Siling.
"My sister likes jewelry. Can I show it to her first?"
Qi Siling looked down at the little girl and asked, "Come with me?"
Xia Youyou blinked her big eyes, a hint of excitement in them. "A wealthy family! There must be something good!" She was secretly delighted and nodded to Cao An before following Qi Siling.
