The young man's face fell suddenly, but he did not give up, and said with a smile: "Sister, my family is just me and my grandmother. She is old and coarse grains hurt her throat, so she wants to eat white flour. Please give me some white flour, I won't treat you badly, sister! I have been waiting at the door for a long time, and followed many people, but they are not willing to give me the exchange. Besides, very few of them grind white flour. What I want to buy is fine grains, not coarse grains. If you want to buy coarse grains, just go to the black market."

Business on the black market has been booming lately.

After the summer harvest and autumn harvest, when farmers had grain but lacked money and tickets, they would secretly go to the black market and sell it at high prices. People in the city could not feed their families with commercial grain alone, so they would try their luck, but they mostly got coarse grains and very little fine grains.

"Who knows whether what you said is true or not!" Lu Tianjun retorted.

The young man was stunned, turned sideways, facing the passers-by who did not exist at the moment, and took something out of his pocket to show them.

As the light flashed by, Feng Qingxue saw a gold bracelet inlaid with a ruby.

The young man flipped his hand and the bracelet slipped back into his trouser pocket.

"How is it? This is good stuff!"

Before Feng Qingxue could speak, she heard Lu Tianjun anxiously ask, "Where did you get it from?"

The young man laughed, "Brother, you can't ask me this, right? Where the things come from is just like I don't ask you where the food comes from. You can't ask. No one in the black market would bother to ask. Of course, you are obviously from the countryside. The food must be from this year's autumn harvest. It must come from a legitimate source. In a word, just tell me whether you want to exchange it or not! I didn't show this to those people in front of me. Ten catties, I only want ten catties of white flour, enough to make dumpling soup for my grandma for a month."

Lu Tianjun said, "The bracelets are all in pairs, yours is just one."

After hearing this, Feng Qingxue calmly let Lu Tianjun come forward to talk to the young man. Although she didn't understand why Lu Tianjun was so concerned about the bracelet, she knew that Lu Tianjun would not speak casually.

Perhaps, this bracelet belonged to the Lu family and he recognized it.

That's the only explanation.

The young man scratched his head. "There's only one. I have one in my hand. The other one is with my brother! My brother's family also needs food. If you are willing, I can help you get it later! It's made of pure gold. You won't lose anything if you exchange it."

Lu Tianjun gently pulled Feng Qingxue's sleeve and said, "Aunt, you see, you and uncle never wore jewelry when you got married. Let's exchange flour for a bracelet for you! I think that bracelet is shiny and pretty. Besides, the old lady is quite pitiful. It makes me think of grandpa. At worst, we can eat less white flour in the future. After all, coarse grains can fill our stomachs."

"Okay!" Feng Qingxue agreed without asking the reason.

The young man was overjoyed, and as if he was afraid that they would go back on their word, he quickly took out the bracelet and stuffed it into Lu Tianjun's hand. Then he opened the cloth bag he was carrying, and Feng Qingxue weighed it and poured some flour for him, no more than ten pounds.

The young man took it and weighed it, a very satisfied look on his face, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister! In the future, when you come to the city and meet someone who doesn't have eyes, just tell me my name, Shen Feihong, and no one will embarrass you! There are people who know me in our county and the surrounding cities!"

Feng Qingxue knew who he was as soon as she heard him, "Okay, next time when I have something to do, I will definitely mention your name, brother!"
