Chapter 91 Selling Food (asking for monthly ticket)
Chen Yi didn’t know whether they would live well, but she did what she could.
She is not a philanthropist, and she is not supporting the two sisters for nothing.
Now that she has been given the opportunity, it is of course very dangerous.
People have to earn their living. How could this space, which she had exchanged her life for, come out for nothing?
Nowadays, it’s okay to ask for help from others, but who would give someone food for free?
That afternoon, Chen Yi gave her five kilograms of millet and asked her to sell it.
Although these five pounds are not a lot, it is not a small amount in the eyes of others.
It was the first time for Liang Xiaoju to do such a thing, so she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
She cautiously came to the black market and found her friend, Wang Zhongjie.
"Xiao Jie!" She waved to a thin and dark boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old.
Wang Zhongjie is sixteen years old this year, two years older than Liang Xiaoju. The two have a good relationship, mainly because they share the same suffering.
He smiled and said, "You can still come to see me? I happen to have time. Come on, I'll take you to eat noodles."
Wang Zhongjie's conditions are pretty good. He can earn more than 20 yuan a month on the black market.
Of course, it's also dangerous.
Liang Xiaoju shook her head. She had already taken other people's things many times, so what would it be like if she ate more?
Let’s just forget it.
"Xiao Jie, I came to see you today for something." She said, taking out a cloth bag and opening it.
"Help me sell this."
When Wang Zhongjie saw what she was holding, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Did you steal things from the house?" He asked with disbelief in his tone.
Of course, he had his doubts.
Liang Xiaoju usually just stole some steamed buns for Liang Xiaohua to eat, but this was the first time she stole something and sold it.
Hearing this, Liang Xiaoju rolled her eyes, "Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?"
She then said, "It's like this, my neighbor has a sister who has a back door to buy things. So she asked me to bring it to you and sell it to me, and then give me some benefits."
"Neighbor sister?" Wang Zhongjie frowned and said worriedly, "Will this work?"
This is not an ordinary matter. This is too dangerous. You may be caught at any time in the black market.
Liang Xiaoju nodded seriously, "Okay, they are very helpful to me and often give me food."
She has a particularly good impression of Chen Yi and likes this sister very much.
Wang Zhongjie heard her say that and didn't ask any more questions. "Okay, you wait for me here. It's not safe to go in."
Liang Xiaoju nodded and stood obediently at the door waiting.
Not long after, Wang Zhongjie came out and handed her two dollars and fifty cents.
"Fifty cents a pound, that's two dollars and fifty cents. You should go back quickly." He hurriedly asked Liang Xiaoju to go back. What if something happened?
Liang Xiaoju smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll leave now!"
She packed the money and trotted back.
It was almost dark when she got back. She knocked on the door and Chen Yi came out.
"So soon?" When Chen Yi saw her coming back, she immediately let her in.
Liang Xiaoju solemnly took out some money from her pocket and handed it to her, "Sister, one pound is fifty cents, this is two dollars and fifty cents."
This was the first time she carried so much money, and she was afraid someone would rob her on the way back.
Chen Yi took it with a smile, and then said: "This is a secret between the two of us. No one can tell it except your friend."
"Don't worry, sister, I know." Liang Xiaoju nodded seriously.
She still knows this. She is already in her teens, how could she not know this?
Chen Yi asked her to wait at the door, then she went into the house and came out with a dark blue backpack in her hand.
"This is for you, take it back."
Liang Xiaoju looked at the bag and shook her head, "You've already given me something today, I can't ask for it again."
"Hurry up and take it!" Chen Yi said, "I gave it to Xiaohua this morning. This is a benefit for you. You deserve it."
Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaoju also laughed. Isn't this just a disguised way of giving herself more things?
She knew that Chen Yi would take care of her, so she nodded in agreement and just asked her to help with more work in the future.
Chen Yi saw her out, closed the door and went home.
She had put some dry food and two twisted dough sticks in the bag just now.
When He Mingcheng came home from get off work in the evening, she didn't tell him about this because she hadn't thought of an excuse for where the thing came from.
It’s the same thing if you think of an excuse later.
After a few days, she saw that the time was almost up, so she gave Liang Xiaoju some more rice. It was not the best, but better than the current one.
This time there are ten kilograms of rice. If there is more, Liang Xiaoju might not be able to carry it. I’m afraid she can’t carry it.
After two times, Chen Yi felt relieved and said to Liang Xiaoju: "Xiaoju, I want to meet your friends, is that okay?"
Liang Xiaoju thought about it, then nodded and replied: "I'll tell him when we meet."
Chen Yi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it after noon tomorrow. I have time."
"Okay, I'll bring him to you when the time comes." Liang Xiaoju nodded in agreement.
Chen Yi refused, "I'll come find you guys tomorrow, let's make an appointment."
Once two people make an appointment, it’s settled.
In the evening, He Mingcheng came back and said after dinner: "I will take you to a colleague's house for dinner tomorrow night so we can get to know each other, okay?"
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment. Why were they having a meal during such an unusual festival?
"Why are you still eating?"
Hearing this, He Mingcheng smiled and said, "There's someone about my age who just got married. I gave him a gift some time ago. But no one went to dinner because they were all on business trips."
"Now that I'm back, I'll treat everyone to a meal."
Chen Yi nodded, "Then wasn't it this colleague's fault that you went out to eat some time ago?"
"That day was for everyone to come back and get together, eat and drink." He Mingcheng didn't say that before.
Chen Yi did not object, since she would be fine after work anyway.
At noon the next day, Liang Xiaoju brought Wang Zhongjie to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative near the black market, and the three met.
"Hello, young comrade? My name is Chen Yi." Chen Yi greeted with a smile.
Wang Zhongjie nodded, "Hello, my name is Wang Zhongjie"
He didn't expect Chen Yi to be so beautiful and quiet.
The two people greeted each other and went to a place where there was no one around to talk.
"I have a lot of things, but it would be inconvenient to let Xiaoju take them all by herself, so I want to ask you." Chen Yi stated her purpose directly.
Wang Zhongjie didn’t think she had a lot of stuff, no matter how much.
"Well, what do you want to sell?" he asked.
"Fine grains, rice and flour."
"How much?"
"Just a few hundred kilograms." Chen Yi thought about it and decided that he couldn't sell too much, so a few hundred kilograms would be enough.
"How...how many hundreds of pounds?" Wang Zhongjie looked at her in surprise. Is she kidding?
Chen Yi looked at him in confusion and asked, "Are you not going to accept several hundred kilograms?"
Is it too little or too much?
Wang Zhongjie smiled awkwardly, "Haha... OK, take it."
Asking for monthly tickets, throwing a tantrum and rolling around asking for monthly tickets (.)
