After Lu Qi nodded, An Hongdou asked him again, "Do you want all the money, or do you want to exchange part of it for food?"
"I need some food, but I'd better trouble my sister to send it back home for me, otherwise I won't be able to explain where the food came from."
Lu Qi thought that his cousin and his wife didn't have an easy life either. His cousin worked alone to support the whole family, and his cousin's wife had just given birth to a child.
The most important thing is that food is hard to buy without food coupons. My sister is leaving soon, and if I don’t take the opportunity to save some food, I will have no way to buy it in the future.
"Sure." An Hongdou said, "I'll charge you 2,000 yuan for these things, and the food is another price. Is that ok with you?"
An Hongdou went to the black market several times and only earned more than 10,000 yuan in total. He didn't lose money by paying 2,000 yuan to buy these things.
Although the value of these things in the future is immeasurable, times have changed. In this period, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are very cheap, and even giving them away will only cause trouble.
An Hongdou dared to say that, apart from herself, few people in this small county would use the huge sum of 2,000 yuan to exchange for Lu Qi's things.
Even if there is, Lu Qi can't get this opportunity, or dare not take the risk.
When he heard the 2,000 yuan, Lu Qi's eyes lit up instantly and he nodded hurriedly.
Then he added, "I have something else I would like to ask for your help."
An Hongdou: "Go ahead."
"I want to keep one thousand yuan for myself, and please keep the remaining one thousand for me, sister." Lu Qi looked at An Hongdou pleadingly.
An Hongdou smiled and patted his head. "You really trust me. Aren't you afraid that I won't return your money?"
"Sister will never do that." Lu Qi looked at her with her big, sparkling eyes, revealing a bit of sincerity and dependence.
He knew that if his sister really cared about him, she could just take these things away without giving him a penny. But since they couldn't be seen in public anyway, he didn't dare tell anyone.
Of course, grandma once said that people will change. He feels that his sister will not lie to him now, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
Lu Qi had no choice. The only grandmother he could trust was no longer alive. If his sister really denied admitting after taking the money, he would have to suffer the loss in silence.
"Okay, I'll leave you 1,000 yuan, and I'll keep the rest for you. Let's put it this way. When I get to Jiangcheng, I'll write to you and tell you my address. Pay attention to the letter, and we'll keep in touch if you have anything to say."
To be honest, An Hongdou felt quite complicated being trusted by such a little kid.
After seeing Lu Qi's joy, An Hongdou picked out a few gold bars from the box and climbed over the wall under the pretext of going outside to get something.
When she came back, she was holding a sack and a smaller wooden box.
There were mostly jewelries in the box. To prevent them from being accidentally bumped, An Hongdou packed the wooden box into a sack, leaving only a few gold bars.
In addition, she took out a thousand yuan from her pocket and handed it to Lu Qi, saying, "Do you want me to help you bury the gold again?"
Lu Qi nodded, took out 200 yuan from the 1,000 yuan and put it in his messenger bag, and handed the other 800 yuan to An Hongdou, "Sister, please help me put these together with the gold ingots and bury them. Don't bury them too deep this time, otherwise I won't be able to dig them out when I need them."
"Okay." An Hongdou smiled and did as he said. She was afraid that the money would get damp and rot if buried underground, so she wrapped it in plastic wrap and then wrapped it with several layers of oil paper.
There were obvious traces of digging next to the tree. Before leaving, she avoided Lu Qi and activated her supernatural powers, and new grass soon grew in the dug space.
As it grew taller, its green leaves turned yellow and its thin branches withered, becoming no different from the other dead grass in the yard.
An Hongdou was not afraid that Lu Qi would find out.
This place is outside the town. Lu Qi lives in the town and usually travels between school and home. He probably has little time to come here.
After sending Lu Qi back, An Hongdou agreed with her to come and deliver food later, and then she rode away on her bicycle.
After calculating the time and walking around the town for a while, she found a secluded place nearby, took out two large bags of flour from the space and piled them on the back seat, and also got a 50-jin bag of rice and placed it in the front.
Fortunately, the load-bearing capacity of the 28-meter-long bicycle these days is good enough, and she is strong enough, otherwise it would be really difficult to get these things.
After all this trouble, it was already mid-afternoon when An Hongdou returned home.
Shen Xiangzhi was already at home. When he saw her come in, he asked her, "Mom said you went to town? What did you do?"
"I'm leaving tomorrow. I don't have anything to do at home, so I thought I'd go for a walk." An Hongdou said, "By the way, when did you come back? Were the babies obedient when I was away?"
"I came back around noon. The children were asleep and mom went home." Chen Xiangzhi asked her again, "Have you eaten? There are still noodles left in the pot."
Having said that, An Hongdou was really hungry.
"Not yet. I'll go heat it up myself."
"I'll go heat it up for you, go wash your hands first." Shen Xiangzhi said and stood up.
While eating, An Hongdou learned from Shen Xiangzhi that he had bought a train ticket for tomorrow afternoon.
Looking at the house that I had just built and hadn’t lived in for long, and thinking about leaving here suddenly, I felt a little reluctant.
An Hongdou told Shen Xiangzhi to leave the house to Er Gouzi to take care of it, and Shen Xiangzhi suddenly thought of the secret between her and Er Gouzi.
"No problem. I'll do as you say." This is how Shen Xiangzhi replied.
An Hongdou was puzzled. "I let an outsider take care of my house, and you didn't ask why?"
After all, the Shen family is not here, so it is reasonable for them to take care of the An family, after all, the An family is An's maternal family. But Ergouzi is just a cousin, and their relationship is not that close.
"Then tell me, why did you let Brother Da Lei take care of the house?" Shen Xiangzhi's question followed the topic, but it seemed more like a response.
An Hongdou replied angrily, "Because I want to."
She was wondering if she had accidentally let him know what was going on between her and Ergouzi. Otherwise, how could he be so calm?
Although I didn't intend to hide it deliberately, it was really uncomfortable to feel that someone had figured me out but I still didn't know what the other person felt.
Shen Xiangzhi looked at her in confusion, not understanding how he had offended her again.
He stood up with a disgusted look on his face and walked towards the house.
Forget it, he went to see the kids.
If he can't afford to offend him, can't he just hide away?
As soon as it was light, An Hongdou got up and put everything that could be collected into the space, leaving only some light ones to cover up their tracks.
The An family knew that they were leaving today, so they all came early in the morning.
