"Okay, okay, thank you for your trouble."
Five minutes later, right? Okay, okay.
OK."
...
"Who is this Grandma Su?" the phone booth operator asked.
“A friend of mine,” Aunt Hong replied absentmindedly.
He had that oily rag wrapped around his hand, twirling it around his thick fingertips.
A few minutes later.
Aunt Hong called again, but the other end replied that the person was not there.
They sent one of their grandsons to visit their in-laws.
…
Su Ruobai and Fei Ge got into the tricycle.
At Fei Ge's request, they arrived very quickly, like lightning.
Su Ruobai took out a few small bills to pay.
"Brother Fei riding in my car is a great honor for me, how could I possibly accept money?" The man said with a fawning smile.
He waved his hands repeatedly, refusing to accept it.
"Alright, let's go, Brother Zhang is getting impatient." Fei Ge had a filtered cigarette dangling from his mouth, probably craving a smoke.
But it didn't ignite.
Just keep it in your mouth like that.
The cigarette trembled as soon as I spoke, almost falling off.
Su Ruobai saw that neither of them had any objections.
She didn't want to get entangled any further.
"Thank you!" she said, nodding as she got out of the car.
When he got off the bus, he slipped a two-cent bill into the gap in the handlebars.
The two-cent coin depicts a light green bridge against a light red background.
It says "two cents" on it.
Su Ruobai quite liked the design of this banknote; it was beautiful.
Unlike the apocalypse, where survival is the primary motivation, everything is simple and brutal.
It was mostly a barter system.
…
The money is usually not visible to passengers; it's only noticed when wiping the car.
...
The two hurriedly entered the Shanghai Housing Management Bureau.
It was already 11:40.
We haven't even entered yet.
A middle-aged man with a square face came forward to greet them.
"Well, Fei, you've finally arrived. You only said one sentence and made me wait, without explaining anything clearly." The newcomer laughed and began to exchange pleasantries with Fei.
"Hey, isn't this urgent? This is my sister, she has an apartment that she needs to transfer ownership of urgently."
"This means we'll have to trouble Brother Zhang again."
Fei held Zhang's hand with one hand and patted his back with the other.
He was all smiles.
"Alright, alright, let's hurry up. Young comrade, have you brought everything?" Brother Zhang turned to look at Su Ruobai.
He paused for a moment, then recovered.
The other two were too fast to catch it.
"Everything is ready, thank you for your help." Su Ruobai patted her crossbody bag.
“Alright, let’s go.” Brother Zhang was quick on the uptake.
He turned around and led the two of them toward the office.
However, his expression was slightly serious.
Upon arriving at the destination, Fei Ge handed Su Ruobai 300 yuan and said, "Count it."
At this point, the largest denomination was ten yuan.
Three hundred yuan is thirty bills.
It was a small stack, not very thick.
Su Ruobai took the money.
There was no politeness involved.
They started counting right in front of Fei Ge.
No more, no less, exactly 300.
Then he put the money in his bag, effectively smuggling it into the small villa in the virtual space.
Su Ruobai handed over various documents.
The property ownership certificate is just a piece of paper!
Brother Zhang took the seal and stamped it all over the place.
The house then became Fei Ge's.
"Brother Zhang, if you need a house, come to me. 620, same price as always." Before leaving, Fei muttered to Brother Zhang.
"Okay, kid, hurry up and get going. I'll treat you to dinner." Brother Zhang was also happy.
This kid earns half of the money.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so dedicated.
"Let's go, let's go, little sister, want to grab a bite with me? My treat." Fei, who had just acquired a house, invited Su Ruobai to dinner with great enthusiasm.
"No, Brother Fei, the house hasn't been cleaned yet, I have to go back. Would it be alright if you took possession of the house tomorrow morning?" Su Ruobai thought for a moment and then declined the invitation.
She has more important things to do now.
"That's right, alright then, little sister, just let me know if you need anything. In our Haishi area, mentioning my name is a good idea." Fei patted his chest with one hand.
After the photo was taken, he even made a fist with four fingers, only showing his thumb.
He looked smug.
"Okay, Fei-ge, I got it. Fei-ge, I'll be going now."
"Brother Zhang, I'm leaving." He said goodbye to both of them.
I waved goodbye, got on the bus home at the door.
She decided to go to the countryside.
Go to Northeast China.
The area is vast and rich in resources.
This is the perfect disguise for me, a wood-type ability user.
In the city, they're too easy to spot.
This batch will leave tomorrow.
She had to go back and pack her things.
Rural areas will certainly lack various industrial products.
She needs to bring more.
After arriving home, I greeted the grandmothers who had already eaten.
Su Ruobai then went into her own home.
She took out her father's large suitcase and began packing.
This one was already patched up with so many patches that Grandma Su managed to keep it from being taken away.
This house has already been ransacked by the original owner's grandmother.
All the good stuff is gone.
The original owner's father and the original owner's watch are gone.
There wasn't a single penny of cash left in the house.
The pressure cooker is gone. The gas stove and gas cylinder are gone. The kitchen knife—not a single good one remains, only a chipped one.
The radio is gone, and so is the bicycle.
The original owner and his father's decent clothes and bedding were gone.
All the good tables, chairs, and benches were taken away.
