Daxingtun is not far from the county town, but not too close either. There is an ox cart at the intersection, which runs twice a day and the ticket costs only five cents.
The original owner had a bad relationship with the people in the village and usually walked for an hour to get to the county town.
When Song Li arrived at the intersection, the ox cart was just full of people.
Because of Song Li's kindness in sharing the meat with her, someone actually took the initiative to greet her this time.
"Li Yatou, you're going to the county town too. Hurry up and get on the bus. We can still squeeze in."
"What the hell, don't you see how big your butt is? If you want her to get on top, get off!"
As soon as Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she was interrupted by Aunt Zhang.
Seeing Aunt Zhang's look of disdain for her, Song Li smiled at Sister Wang and said, "No need, sister-in-law. I can just walk there."
"You are such a fool! Li Yatou has never offended you, yet you always have to scold her every time you see her. If you have the guts, don't eat the meat that Li Yatou has divided."
After Song Li walked away, someone in the car started to speak out in dissatisfaction with Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang's face drooped. "You think you're being bribed by a piece of meat? Don't you think about what she did before? I feel so bad for eating her meat!"
"Hehe, isn't it just that Song Li is lucky, He Linyuan will live with her no matter what she does, while your Feng Zhu was divorced by Sun Zhiqing."
We are all from the same village, and everyone knows what Zhang Chun'e is thinking.
It was said that Zhao Fengzhu married Sun Zhiyuan because Song Li schemed to get He Linyuan a good marriage. Aunt Zhang was jealous and also let her daughter marry an educated youth.
However, not every educated youth who went to the countryside was He Linyuan. When the country resumed the college entrance examination, Sun Zhiyuan used the Zhao family's connections to get a place, and filed for divorce from Zhao Fengzhu right after the exam.
The speed at which they destroyed the bridge after crossing it made the Zhao family a laughing stock. Zhao Fengzhu couldn't stand it and cried at home every day, and Aunt Zhang also hated Song Li because of this.
......
It took Song Li almost an hour to reach the county town. Songbei is next to a forest farm, the economy is relatively developed, and the department stores have a relatively complete range of goods.
But now you need tickets to buy anything, and the tickets sent by He Linyuan were all spent by the original owner. Now she can't even buy a needle and thread.
Song Li turned and walked towards the back of the machinery factory.
"Comrade, I just got a batch of beef jerky. Do you want some?"
The original owner was an acquaintance on this street. While others used their tickets to exchange for food and clothes, she exchanged them for expensive snacks that didn't fill her up, and many traders were eyeing her.
As soon as he came in, he was stopped by someone.
Song Li looked at the dark-skinned young man in front of her and nodded slightly, "Change."
The boy's eyes lit up and he pulled her to the corner.
This bag of beef jerky has been sitting in his hands for half a month, and finally someone bought it.
"One pound of dried meat can be exchanged for two pounds of meat coupons or three pounds of grain coupons. Other cloth coupons and industrial coupons can also be exchanged."
"I'll exchange this for something." Song Li took off the backpack and opened it to show him.
The backpack was filled with lipstick, rouge, pearl earrings, necklaces, and printed soap, all of which she had picked out on the way.
There are no marks, so it won't arouse suspicion. Moreover, space and time are still, and these things are still the same as when they were first put in. As soon as the backpack is opened, you can smell the faint scent of soap.
"Where did you come from?"
Xiang Qian's breath stopped. He had been a dealer for quite some time, but this was the first time he had come across such a good product. He had already imagined how well it would sell.
"I know someone who works in the south. He sent this to me. Can you eat it? If not, I'll ask someone else."
Many people in Songbei came from the Northeast, and they might have relatives and friends from all over the world. In addition, Song Li is pretty, so Xiang Qian actually believed what she said.
"Yes, yes, I want all of these."
Xiang Qian was afraid that she would change her mind, so he took it all in one breath.
Lipstick and rouge were both two yuan each, the pearl necklace was two yuan and a half, the earrings were fifty cents, and the soap was one yuan and a half, for a total of one hundred and fifty yuan. After deducting the five yuan for the dried meat, she still had one hundred and forty-five yuan left.
"Do you know where to get the best deal here? I want to buy some food, meat, and vegetables, as well as malted milk and powdered milk for the kids."
Song Li received the money and before she could even hold it warm in her hand, she started thinking about spending it.
Xiang Qian wanted to build a good relationship with her, so he changed his address and said, "Sister, if you trust me, just wait here and I'll buy it for you."
"Okay, thank you very much." Song Li did not refuse and counted out a hundred yuan to him.
Xiang Qian moved nimbly and quickly bought everything for her.
I bought two pounds of white flour, ten pounds of sorghum flour, two pounds of rice and millet each, two pounds of pork, a piece of tofu, five radishes, two heads of Chinese cabbage, two cans each of malted milk and milk powder, a bag of White Rabbit milk candy, and a portion of other oils, salt, sauce, vinegar, and sugar.
All in all, she had almost spent all her money.
"Sister, can your friend still send it to you?"
Watching Song Li buying things, you can tell that she is a loose-handed person, and she stepped forward to try to tighten the thread.
He was young and could not compete with other traders. The goods he received were all difficult to sell. Today, he grabbed Song Li just to find a sucker, but he never expected that he would catch a gold nugget.
"Yes." Song Li knew what he was thinking. "I'll come back in three days to deliver it."
"Well, then I'll wait for you, sister!" Xiang Qian was so happy.
With the money, he can take his grandmother to see a doctor during the Chinese New Year.
Xiang Qian wanted to help Song Li send the things home, but was rejected by Song Li. When they reached a place where there was no one, she put the rice and flour into the space.
I didn't pay attention when I took the things, but now I see that the potatoes and sweet potatoes she planted in the field next to her are ripe.
Only one day has passed from yesterday to now. It seems that the soil in the space has the effect of ripening things. I just don't know if the plants grown here can help those with special abilities to advance as rumored.
Thinking of this, Song Li became anxious to go home.
"Dad, it's Mom."
At the entrance of the department store, Qingqing saw Song Li walking by at a glance.
When the little girl saw that her mother didn't notice her, her eyes turned red.
He wanted to call for help, but Song Li walked so fast that he disappeared at the intersection.
He Linyuan looked at the place where she came out. He knew that it was the famous black market in Songbei.
Did she spend money on snacks again?
He Linyuan's face darkened. He didn't mind her spending money on food, but she shouldn't even prepare clothes for the child.
As winter approaches, cotton-padded jackets and cotton shoes have become a hot commodity, and department stores don’t have sizes suitable for two children.
He Linyuan was about to call his friend in Beijing to ask him to send two sets over, but then he saw Song Li coming out of the black market and couldn't help but take his anger out on her.
"Daddy, I want Mommy!"
Qingqing hugged his legs and tears fell.
He Mingze noticed that his father was unhappy and quickly grabbed his sister.
"Dad, I don't want a cotton-padded jacket anymore."
In the past, He Mingze would be happy when He Linyuan was angry with Song Li, but today He Mingze was a little nervous, afraid that his father would scold that woman.
He Linyuan looked down and saw his son's tense little face, and sighed.
"Don't worry, I won't scold her."
They are just two children, and she can't be allowed to take care of them.
