Sheng Cheng'an was indeed very busy these two days. Seeing that Sheng An Ning and the three little ones were well taken care of, he began to think about how to deal with Cheng Mingyue.
He doesn't like to drag things out, nor does he like to seek revenge.
Therefore, he wanted to deal with Cheng Mingyue immediately, hoping that after Sheng An Ning was out of confinement, she would not see this family again in Beijing.
Just wait for Cheng Mingyue to take the bait and find him.
After returning, Cheng Mingyue had all kinds of speculations, wondering what Sheng Chengan meant and whether what she had done had been discovered. Although she did not play any role in the middle, she just helped to light the fire. Later, she was afraid of being discovered, so she timidly asked her son to come back quickly, and she and Sheng Hongying stayed in the hospital.
It was not until daytime when he saw that there was no movement that he took Sheng Hongying to see Sheng An Ning. However, he didn't even see anyone and was sent back by Sheng Chengan.
During the two days of the New Year, Cheng Mingzhong's house had many guests. Everyone who came would ask Cheng Mingyue how she had time to come over to celebrate the New Year, which made Wang Da's face become more and more unsightly.
Cheng Mingyue didn't want to eat while looking at her face anymore, so she decided to go find Sheng Chengan. She heard that Sheng Chengan was a teacher at Peking University Medical School and lived in the staff dormitory there.
On the fifth night of the New Year, I discussed with Sheng Dalong and Sheng Hongying about going to see Sheng Chengan.
Sheng Dalong had a little bit of brains and felt that Sheng Chengan would definitely ignore them: "It's useless for us to look for him. Sheng Chengan is good friends with Sheng Anning. If Sheng Anning says something bad about us in front of him, he will definitely not help me."
Sheng Hongying also thought this was very likely: "Mom, do we have to ask Sheng Anning and Sheng Chengan? No, my brother has to take the college entrance examination again."
Sheng Dalong was not happy: "No, that won't work. Do you think the college entrance examination is easy? Why don't we take the exam?"
Sheng Hongying was not convinced and snorted, "How could Sheng Anning get first place in the exam? Isn't her brain a human brain? Can she remember everything she saw? Her grades were not as good as yours before."
Cheng Mingyue was getting a headache from the quarrel between the brother and sister. She pressed her temples and said, "Okay, just stop talking. No matter what, Dalong has to go to school. We need a college student. Hongying, you should study hard too. You've seen in Beijing that this place is much better than our hometown. You can only come to Beijing to work if you study hard and go to Beijing University."
Sheng Hongying fell silent for a moment, mainly because her academic performance was not very good.
Cheng Mingyue looked at Sheng Dalong again: "I know Sheng Chengan may not help us, but we can't find any other connections except Sheng Chengan. Your uncle may be able to help with other things, but he really can't do anything about school."
Sheng Dalong would frown and ask, "Then how are you going to find him?"
Cheng Mingyue gritted her teeth and said, "Spend money. As long as you spend money, you can definitely get things done."
Chuqi went to see Sheng Chengan, who was quite polite and asked Cheng Mingyue to sit down in the dormitory.
This gave Cheng Mingyue hope. During the chat, Sheng Chengan said with regret that everything in the country was good except that he couldn't buy a TV or a tape recorder without a ticket.
From what she heard, Cheng Mingyue felt that Sheng Chengan was asking her for something in a subtle way. After thinking about it, she decided to go to the black market to buy expensive TV tickets.
In the evening, I asked Wang Da where there was a black market in Beijing.
Wang Da was quite puzzled. "Why are you going to the black market? I know there is a ghost market near Panjiayuan. It is called the ghost market because transactions are always conducted in the middle of the night and there are no bright lights. In the past, it was a place where grain and food coupons were sold secretly. What do you want to buy?"
Cheng Mingyue didn't want Wang Da to know yet, so she waved her hands and said, "No, no, I'm just asking out of curiosity. I heard that they sell all kinds of things there, so I wanted to go over and take a look."
Wang Da nodded: "Yes, there are all kinds of things, and the prices are not bad. You can buy things there that you can't buy outside. I have always wanted to buy a Plum watch. I heard that the black market is ten yuan cheaper than the mall. Your eldest brother refused to buy it, saying that those people are not decent people doing business there."
He frowned as he spoke, but there was desire in his eyes.
Cheng Mingyue pretended not to understand. During the few days she had lived here, she had bought many things for Wang Da and the two children. He must be dreaming if he wanted her to buy him another watch.
He smiled perfunctorily: "I just went over to take a look, there's nothing I want to buy. I didn't bring much money this time, so I'm afraid I wouldn't have the money to buy anything I want."
Wang Da curled his lips and warned Cheng Mingyue: "Be careful when you go there. There are all kinds of people in there. If someone sees that you have money, they might rob you or steal from you."
Cheng Mingyue nodded repeatedly: "It's okay, I don't have any money on me, and I'm not buying anything. I won't be noticed if I go over and take a look."
At night, I was worried, so I took Sheng Dalong with me. In case something happened, Sheng Dalong's size would make people feel a little scared.
The ghost market is under a bridge. The lights inside are dim, and there is a scary lantern in front of each stall. People walking inside don't talk much. The quiet and mysterious atmosphere is just like entering a ghost market.
When Cheng Mingyue was in Longbei City before, she had also gone to the black market to buy food rations. That was just a hidden small market, and although the transactions were all done secretly, it was not like this one, which looked a bit creepy.
Unconsciously, he pulled Sheng Dalong's arm with a bit of timidity: "Dalong, let's ask, don't talk nonsense, if it doesn't work, go back quickly."
Sheng Dalong thought it was very interesting: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."
As the two of them walked, someone approached them and asked mysteriously if they wanted a Chinese Overseas Certificate, TV tickets, or US dollars.
Cheng Mingyue didn't dare to say anything, but she wanted to get Sheng Cheng'an to help her as soon as possible. When he asked for a TV ticket, she mustered up the courage to ask, "How much is a TV ticket?"
The other party looked Cheng Mingyue up and down, as if considering whether she could afford it, and finally whispered a sum of money.
Cheng Mingyue gasped when she heard this: "How much is a TV? A ticket costs 260 yuan. Are you trying to rob me?"
The other party was obviously very dissatisfied, staring at Cheng Mingyue with a somewhat sinister look: "My dear sister, you can buy a TV with money, but you may not be able to buy a TV ticket. If you can't afford it, don't come to this kind of place."
Cheng Mingyue was reluctant to leave, so she pulled Sheng Dalong away. However, after asking around, she found out that the TV, air and refrigerator tickets were very expensive, and some would not be available until next month.
The quantity is limited. If you don’t buy it, you don’t know when you will get it next time.
Cheng Mingyue stood on the side of the road and thought for a long time before deciding to grit her teeth and buy one.
She took Sheng Dalong into the ghost market again, not noticing that across the street, Sheng Chengan was holding a cigarette, his hands in his pockets, looking at the two of them mockingly...
