"I ran into a mountain where there were more than a dozen families, and each family grew some vegetables."
This is all the land that those dozen or so households could collect; I collected it all.
The dozen or so households deep in the mountains didn't need money or coupons at all. Instead, they were willing to exchange some fabric he got from Meng Ge, as well as daily necessities like salt he bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
They didn't want money at all, because in the deep mountains, money was practically worthless to them.
It seems these people don't usually come out of the mountains.
Fu Hongxing thought for a moment and asked, "Besides the cabbage, do they have anything else in their house?"
The monkey seemed a little confused by the question, but after thinking about it carefully, it nodded and said, "There should still be food. So, being so deep in the mountains, I reckon they haven't delivered any grain at all."
We definitely can't eat all the grain we grow every year.
When they replaced these cabbages, we had lunch with them, and they served us a full serving of rice, without a single grain mixed in.
Fu Hongxing nodded. In fact, the population statistics in many parts of the country have not yet been completed.
Those mountain dwellers deep in the mountains and forests are generally not someone you would deliberately go into the mountains to look for unless they show up on their own.
“Tell me how many grain coupons and money these things cost, and I’ll give them to you.”
Also, don't go there again next time.
I'll find you a way to get a job in the coal mine. You'll start as an apprentice, but I'll figure out how to get you a permanent position later.
Fu Hongxing carried the sacks of cabbages into the room of the old house.
Although a fire wall was built, it's not winter yet, so the room isn't warm without a fire, and there's still no problem storing things there.
Upon hearing Fu Hongxing's words, the monkey was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
Actually, he almost agreed when he was with Meng Ge last time.
I didn't agree on the spot just because I was afraid that Brother Meng might have some thoughts on his mind.
"Brother Hongxing, um... it seems like Brother Meng and the others went to Shanghai to buy goods again."
The monkey thought of Fang Meng and Liu Weidong, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke up.
After Fu Hongxing had moved all his things inside, he paused in his tracks upon hearing this.
He sighed and then said, "Could you pass on a message to them, telling them to be careful?"
If absolutely necessary, saving your life is the most important thing.
While private trading isn't strictly prohibited, it's still not allowed openly.
If caught, the consequences will definitely not be good.
That's why he repeatedly told Ning Jing not to go to the county town to exchange things.
He wasn't afraid of those few families.
Fu Hongxing was afraid that Ning Jing's mind would grow too big and she would start trading on the black market. He had a bad feeling that something bad would happen sooner or later.
On the battlefield, Fu Hongxing narrowly escaped death several times, all thanks to his keen sixth sense.
Monkey didn't know what Fu Hongxing was thinking, but when he heard what Brother Hongxing said, he was overjoyed to hear that Brother Meng and the others were still concerned about him. He quickly nodded and agreed.
He didn't stay any longer, and pulled the flatbed cart that was originally full of sacks out of the Fu family's gate.
The thought of becoming a factory worker fills me with energy.
After returning home, the monkey went straight to sleep. After all, he had almost worn out the soles of his shoes from walking so far to find those cabbages in the deep mountains.
He woke up very early the next morning, as soon as it was light.
He went to Fang Meng's house first, and knocked on the door.
A woman carefully opened the gate, and only when she saw it was him did she open it a crack to let the monkey into the yard.
