Su Xiao carefully handed the painting to Banxia: "Banxia, please put it away for me, so it won't get damaged by accident when there are many people around."
Banxia put the painting into her spatial storage and continued strolling around with Su Xiaofang and Yunyun.
The price of gold is indeed very low, but it is said that the government is also buying up a lot of precious metals, so it is more expensive than she expected. One tael of gold is worth about two kilograms of rice.
Fang Yunyun and Su Xiao let Banxia choose first, and she chose the heaviest solid bracelet without hesitation: "I want this one."
Fang Yunyun and Su Xiao divided the remaining gold jewelry among themselves. The stall owner, seeing the three of them spending so generously, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, and whispered, "I have a few gold bars at home that I'd like to exchange for baby formula. Do you have any?"
Fang Yunyun and Su Xiao shook their heads slightly: "Sorry."
Of course, they had prepared baby formula, but that was for Fang Yunyun and Su Yao's future child. And because babies are fragile, they dared not feed them expired formula, so they didn't buy a large quantity when stocking up, and naturally, they couldn't exchange it.
The stall owner wasn't disappointed. He just asked casually, since the group didn't look very old and didn't seem like they had children.
Banxia didn't understand why the stall owner didn't ask her, so she took the initiative to say, "I can switch with you."
"Really?!" The stall owner's face lit up with surprise, then he lowered his voice and emphasized, "Miss, I want baby formula, the kind for six-month-old babies, not adult formula."
Banxia frowned slightly, sensing the stall owner's suspicious gaze: "I have stage 2 formula, would you like to switch?"
"Change, change, change!" The stall owner knew she was an expert when she heard her say "second stage," and greeted her warmly, "I didn't expect you to have a child at such a young age. How old is your baby?"
Banxia: ...
If you can't speak well, there's no need to force yourself to.
"Pfft," Fang Yunyun couldn't help but laugh, "Don't talk nonsense, my sister hasn't had a baby yet."
"It's my fault! It's my fault! I was talking nonsense, please don't mind!"
The stall owner slapped his mouth in frustration, fearing that his loose tongue would cause the transaction to fail, as his little daughter was still waiting for food to fill her stomach!
“It’s alright,” Banxia interrupted deliberately when she saw his lips were red from slapping them, “When shall we make the deal?”
The stall owner hesitated for a few seconds: "I'll go back and get the gold bars now, but there are too many people and too much noise here, so I'd like to move to another location..."
He glanced cautiously at Banxia and the others, "Is it okay to trade in the small park in the villa area? If you're not comfortable with that, you can also trade in front of the supermarket!"
As far as he knew, there were at least twenty or thirty infants under one year old among the survivors of Miaomiao Mountain. If others discovered that he had switched the formula, he would likely become the target of public criticism. Whether he could survive then was uncertain!
Banxia nodded indifferently: "Okay, see you at the park in an hour."
The small park is located in the very center of the villa area. There isn't much foot traffic, but it's not exactly a remote place either. However, even if the stall owner had any ideas, she wouldn't let him succeed.
"My name is Chu Shao," the stall owner said, quickly stuffing the rice the group had given him into his travel bag. "I'm going back to get the gold right now, you absolutely have to come!"
"rest assured."
Fang Yunyun watched the stall owner run away quickly, then looked at Banxia with a hint of curiosity: "Do you have enough milk powder? Don't trade away your baby's future food supply."
"What baby? Banxia is pregnant?" Su Yao walked over unnoticed, turned around and frowned at Nanxing, "Are you crazy? How could you let Banxia get pregnant now?"
Cai Yuan and Zhao Xuan both frowned as they looked at Nan Xing. In this day and age, it's hard to even find a reliable obstetrician and gynecologist. Getting pregnant and giving birth is no easy feat. If something goes wrong, there's no one to turn to for help.
Nanxing wasn't this unreliable before!
Nanxing looked completely innocent: "My wife isn't pregnant."
Does he think his surgery was for nothing? Besides, how could he, his inseparable bedmate, not know whether Banxia is pregnant or not?
Fang Yunyun, looking embarrassed, grabbed Su Yao: "Don't believe everything you hear, Banxia isn't pregnant!"
He then explained the misunderstanding.
Su Yao coughed lightly, a little embarrassed: "Sorry, bro!"
Cai Yuan and Zhao Xuan also looked at Nan Xing with slight apologies; they had also misunderstood.
Nanxing put his arm around Banxia and said generously, "It's alright, you're just worried and confused."
Banxia grew up alone, without any friends or relatives. Now, Su Yao and the others are treating her like a younger sister and caring about her health, which makes him overjoyed.
Banxia noticed the slightly awkward atmosphere and took the initiative to change the subject: "Nanxing, Yao-ge, Yuan-ge, Xuan-ge, did you guys get anything good in the exchange?"
With a face full of excitement, Su Yao pulled two jade bracelets out of his bag and handed them to Fang Yunyun and Su Xiao like treasures: "I traded them for a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets that are said to have been passed down from the Song Dynasty. One for each of you!"
These jade bracelets are made of fine jade with a warm white hue and a lustrous, oily sheen, clearly indicating they are top-quality jade. Furthermore, they have been passed down from the Song Dynasty; if they had been made before the end of the world, they might have fetched hundreds of millions at auction, making them a true heirloom for future generations.
Fang Yunyun and Su Xiao held the jade bracelet and touched it again and again, reluctant to put it down. After a while, Fang Yunyun finally remembered: "What did you exchange it for?"
Su Yao and Nan Xing only carried a backpack containing ten kilograms of rice and several cans of beef. This amount of stuff probably wouldn't be enough to buy such an exquisite bracelet.
Su Yao mumbled, "Just rice and canned goods..."
What is the exact quantity?
Fang Yunyun could tell from his expression that he was feeling guilty, and her heart skipped a beat.
