After the two of them made an agreement, they each went to prepare their things.
In order to increase the success rate, Ji Nanfeng went to find Yu Chengmao and asked him if he wanted to go together.
When Yu Chengmao heard that he could bring his wife with him, he agreed immediately.
He Kun also wanted to go, and he was allowed to go only after he promised to eat less and work more.
Ruan Tang went to the vegetable market and found that even the vegetable stalls were closed. She had no choice but to go to the black market.
There are a lot more dried goods in the black market, all of which are unfamiliar, but the prices are three or four times that of the vegetable market.
Even though Ruan Tang was not short of money, she still felt the pain in her heart when she saw the price.
She bought ten pounds of shelled shrimp and was about to take them when she saw some oysters at the bottom of her basket. An idea struck her. "Are they selling these too?"
"Sell!" the dealer sighed. "I won't go easy on you. If you want oysters, I'll give you 80 cents a pound."
His sister-in-law married in Hongyang County and called to say that the black market price of seafood here was high, and asked him to find a way to get some to sell.
Selling shrimp, salted fish, seaweed, and kelp was a real profit, but the oysters were new to the area, and in two days, I'd only sold half a pound. It wasn't easy for Ruan Tang to ask, so she lowered the price before she could bargain.
"60 cents, I bought them all."
The dealer was afraid Ruan Tang would regret it, so he weighed it immediately and said, "15 jin 3 liang, 3 liang is a gift to you, a total of 9 yuan."
As soon as Ruan Tang saw the dealer's expression, she knew that she had not bargained for the lowest price, and she held on to the ten yuan and was unwilling to give it.
The trader held the other end of the ten-yuan note and pulled it into his hand.
"Don't feel like you've been cheated. I'll give you two more abalone."
When Ruan Tang heard that he even had abalone, she let go and asked, "Let me see how the abalone tastes."
The dealer rummaged through the basket on his back and pulled out two large bags of abalone. "These are my most valuable treasures. I couldn't bear to sell them at such a low price. If you want them, I'll give you a discount of 1.2 yuan."
Ruan Tang glanced at the sincere dealer and thought to herself: She made a loss on the last purchase, so she must not lose money if she bargains this time.
Ruan Tang took a small, cautious step forward. "I want them all. Just name your lowest price."
"Comrade, I see you're a straightforward person. I won't quote you a price, just one yuan. Isn't that straightforward? If it weren't for the profit from the kelp, I'm afraid I'd have lost all my money for the trip."
Ruan Tang silently recited the bargaining formula and started to cut the price in half. "5 cents!"
"No! This is my most precious treasure. I won't sell it for 5 cents."
"If you don't sell it, I'll leave." Ruan Tang put the things into the backpack, took the dime in change, turned around and left.
"Hey, come here, I'll give you 60 cents."
"5 cents."
"Never mind, here you go."
Ruan Tang silently said "yeah" in her heart. She had made a killing. She had actually gotten dried abalone for 5 cents a pound. With all this good stuff, she and Ji Nanfeng could eat one a day and keep their bodies healthy. Why would she worry about not being able to get pregnant?
Seeing that Ruan Tang couldn't carry it all, the dealer thoughtfully gave her the backpack. "Come back in the middle of next month. I'll save some for you then."
Ruan Tang agreed. Turning around, the corners of her mouth turned up, unable to hide their smile any longer.
Who would have thought that the old man behind him would burst into laughter? It was true that city people had too much money and were good at making a fool of themselves. Every household in their village had saved up a lot of these free things, but they didn't expect that in the city, there would still be people who would use the money they would use to buy meat to buy these things.
After she rode her bike to load all the things to the family compound, she picked up two or three pounds of various things and put them into a backpack to take back to the countryside to give to Grandma Ji. https://m.
Because little brother Ji has moved out of the dormitory, Grandma Ji can't eat much by herself.
As soon as Ji Nanfeng arrived, they went to the gate of Hongyang Middle School to pick up Ji Xiaodi.
As soon as four o'clock arrived, the students came out one after another.
Zhao Sanqi and the other three came out laughing and joking. They were all delighted to see Ruan Tang, "Ruan Zhiqing, it's been a while since I last saw you."
Ruan Tang smiled and grabbed a handful of candy from her pocket and gave it to the four people. "Where's little brother Ji? Why didn't I see him come out?"
"He just forgot to bring his lunch box and ran to get it."
Ruan Tang understood and told the four of them to hurry up, as Uncle Yang's tractor was waiting at the south gate to take them there.
When the four heard that they could make tractors, they ran away happily.
After waiting for a while, Ruan Tang saw Ji Xiaodi coming out side by side with two girls.
Ruan Tang could see clearly that one of them was Gao Xingxing, the daughter of Gao Qi, the director of the factory office, and the other one was a stranger to her.
"Sister-in-law, are you coming to pick me up?"
As soon as Ji Xiaodi arrived at the door, he saw Ruan Tang and ran towards her happily.
Ruan Tang touched the top of Ji Xiaodi's head and said, "Well, your brother is here too. Is this your classmate?"
Ji Xiaodi generously introduced Ruan Tang, "Well, this is Gao Jin, her father also works in the machinery factory. This is Wen Xingxing, she's from our neighbor's house."
Ruan Tang greeted Gao Jin and Wen Xingxing with a smile, and took out a handful of candy and gave it to them.
Wen Xingxing is a round-faced girl. Seeing the candy, she happily took it and said, "Thank you, sister. Ji Nanchuan, your sister-in-law is really nice."
But when Ruan Tang handed the candy to Gao Jin, Gao Jin subconsciously took a step back, her head almost hanging down to her chest. "I, I don't want it."
After saying that, she ran away.
Wen Xingxing hurriedly bowed to Ruan Tang and apologized, "Sister, Gao Jin is afraid of strangers... Oh, Ji Nanchuan, please explain to me, Gao Jin really didn't mean it." Before she finished speaking, she ran after Gao Jin.
Ji Xiaodi helplessly spread his hands, "Gao Jin is shy and always stays last after school. It's not intentional to be rude, so don't take it personally."
Could it be that Gao Jin is also afraid?
"Ruan Zhiqing, Ji Xiaodi - come quickly, Uncle Yang is still waiting for you at the South Gate." After Zhao Sanqi put his schoolbag on the tractor, he ran to find them.
It turned out that Zhao San saw that Ji Nanfeng's bicycle was full of baskets, and thought that Ruan Tang would not want to sit in it, so he asked Uncle Yang to wait a little longer.
When Uncle Yang heard that Ruan Tang was also going, he was of course willing to wait.
They chatted and laughed all the way to the village. It was time to get off work, and the villagers all greeted Ruan Tang with smiles.
Ji Xiaodi mercilessly mocked Ji Nanfeng, "Brother, you are not as popular as my sister-in-law. You are such a failure."
"That's my wife. I'm proud of her, understand? Boy!" After Ji Nanfeng arrived home, he moved his things out.
Widow Niu was talking to Grandma Ji. When she heard the noise, she hurried out to take the things in.
Ever since Widow Niu was discharged from the hospital, she'd been sending half of her daily cooking to Grandma Ji. She'd just sent a bowl of food the other day, and was just about to ask if Ruan Tang and his wife would be coming over this weekend. Whoever wanted to come would be here.
When Ruan Tang met Widow Niu, she saw that she had recovered well, and told her to rest more and not do heavy work.
Widow Niu agreed to all the requests and tactfully took Li Tiewa away so as not to disturb the family's meal.
Ruan Tang took out the oysters she had bought and soaked them in water, planning to make some seafood pancakes and cook a pot of seafood noodles in the evening.
Before we knew it, everyone had eaten too much.
Leaving the Ji Nanfeng brothers behind to wash the dishes, Ruan Tang and Grandma Ji went hand in hand with flashlights to digest the food.
After walking for a while, they arrived at Hu Jianshe's house.
Hu Jianshe was just out fetching water. When he saw Ruan Tang and the others, he hurriedly invited them into the house to sit for a while.
Grandma Ji had never been to the Hu family to see Xiaobao, so she pulled Ruan Tang into the house.
Because Liu Weifang suffered a lot during childbirth, her mother-in-law, Aunt Hong, asked her to stay in bed for two months, so she is still in bed.
Aunt Hong brought little Chenchen into the house to show Grandma Ji, leaving Liu Weifang and Ruan Tang to talk privately.
"I heard from Brother Jianshe that you guys are going hunting tomorrow?"
"Do you remember the cave I told you about?"
Ruan Tang blinked and thought, "You mean that sacred place for childbirth..."
