Feng Qingxue looked around but didn't find Shen Feihong, but met her eldest cousin Wang Dachun from her uncle's family.
Wang Dachun was carrying a shoulder pole with bamboo baskets hanging on both ends.
The heavy bamboo basket bent the shoulder pole. He also saw Feng Qingxue. They lived in the same production team and often visited each other. He had seen Feng Qingxue making an ugly scene before, so he recognized her at a glance.
He shook his head at Feng Qingxue and didn't speak to her.
Feng Qingxue understood very well, so she didn't go up to greet him and pretended to be a stranger.
Wang Dachun quickly negotiated the deal with the other party, and they left the black market one after another, definitely finding a deserted place to do it.
Feng Qingxue didn't see Shen Feihong and was about to leave when an old woman carrying a backpack walked up to her and whispered, "Girl, do you still recognize me?" As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the backpack behind Feng Qingxue.
Feng Qingxue had done business with so many people that she couldn't remember them all.
So, she shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I have a bad memory, please bear with me."
The old woman didn't find it strange and whispered, "Last year under the old elm tree, I exchanged a diamond ring for eight kilograms of coarse flour from you."
Feng Qingxue thought about it and it seemed to be true.
During that period, she often changed her clothes and shuttled between various black markets, exchanging food for a lot of things, such as diamond rings, jade pendants, and jadeite bracelets. She also exchanged them for an authentic painting by a famous artist and a clay inkstone.
"Do you want to ask me something?" Feng Qingxue neither admitted nor denied it.
I looked down and realized that it was no wonder that I was recognized. It seemed that I was just wearing some of my old clothes.
The old woman didn't care whether Feng Qingxue admitted it or not, as long as the other party had food, "Can you...can you exchange some food for me? Coarse grains, coarse grains will do, as long as I can fill my stomach."
Feng Qingxue sighed.
Although Wanglou Brigade had a good harvest, the situation in other places remained not optimistic.
"Come with me."
Feng Qingxue left the black market first, wandered around for a while, and walked to a place where no one noticed her.
After a long while, the old woman hurried over, breathlessly stretching her hand in front of Feng Qingxue. In her palm was an emerald pendant with a platinum base, a circle of white diamonds and an emerald of extremely pure and beautiful color in the middle.
In the sunshine, it is dazzling.
"My daughter, look at how much food you can get." Keeping this thing is good for looking at but not for eating, and she has to worry every day, afraid that her house will be raided. The old woman tries to go to the black market to exchange food during the period after the autumn harvest, so that she doesn't have to worry about the winter. In the past two days, she has exchanged some food and brought it home, but who would complain about having too much food? She exchanges as much as possible and stores it at home.
Feng Qingxue directly took out a bag of cornmeal weighing about ten kilograms from her backpack and said, "This is all I have."
The old woman's eyes lit up, "Change, change!" It was beyond her imagination.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Yesterday, she used a gold ring inlaid with a ruby to exchange for 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes, fresh sweet potatoes, not dried ones.
She was afraid that Feng Qingxue would regret it, so she quickly stuffed the emerald pendant into her hand and said expectantly, "My girl, this pendant also comes with a pair of earrings, a ring, and a brooch. They are all good things. They were brought from overseas by foreigners before liberation. Can you get me some more food? I'll give all those jewelry to you and no one else."
"Let's talk about it when we have a chance. Food is tight in our family." Feng Qingxue put away the pendant and poured the cornmeal into the bag she brought, but did not agree immediately.
