Using the basket on her back as cover, Lin Xue, disguised, sold some grain and earned enough money and ration coupons.
However, this wasn't something that could be done in one go; she had to change her outfit several times before selling her goods on the black market.
Finally, with a few hundred yuan and some ration coupons in hand, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a lot of things, took some more from my space, packed them up and mailed them back to Gujia Village.
He also sent a telegram to Liulin Town announcing the date he would be returning home.
Presumably, the Gu family will receive the news and pick her up in advance, so she can take more things back with her and won't have to go through the trouble of carrying them all the way back to the village herself.
