After leaving the restaurant, Qin Muye suddenly stopped and asked her, "Is there any place you want to go?"
"I want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something."
Realizing that she had answered too quickly, Song Kexia hurriedly made up her mind, as if she was waiting for him to ask a question.
"After all, this is my first time going back to that house, and it would be bad to go back empty-handed, so I want to buy something.
If you have something else to do, you don't have to accompany me. I can take the bus to pick up the things after I finish shopping."
"You seem to enjoy sending me away."
Song Kexia met his gaze, lowered her eyelids, and whispered, "I'm just afraid of wasting your time."
Qin Muye turned around to get his bicycle, "Get on."
A smile flashed across Song Kexia's eyes as she sat in the back seat. "Thank you."
She had just received her salary, but she had a few bills on her.
When they arrived at the department store, she asked Qin Muye, "I don't know who's in the family. What do you think I should buy?"
"It's never wrong to buy some cakes and candies."
"Then I'll go buy some cakes."
She queued up to buy cakes.
Qin Muye thought of what she had asked him just now and felt a little uncomfortable.
She just asked herself this question, as if their relationship was not simple, like a young couple going back to their parents' home.
It was Song Kexia's turn in line. She bought half a pound of biscuits, but couldn't buy the rest because she didn't have a pastry ticket.
Qin Muye saw her walking out with her head down and asked, "Are you not happy with what you bought?"
"I don't have any tickets, so there's very little I can buy."
Qin Muye saw her drooping head, and even her beautiful almond-shaped eyes dimmed. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll take you somewhere. Do you dare to come with me?"
Song Kexia raised her eyes to look at him, "Where are you going?"
“A place where you can buy things without a ticket.”
Song Kexia's eyes lit up. Was he talking about the legendary black market?
She has never been to the black market in her life.
In her dream, she saw that in a few years, the country would encourage economic development, and by the mid-1980s, tickets would no longer be needed to buy things.
She could take this opportunity to see what the black market is like.
"If you dare to take me, I will go."
She raised her eyes and looked at Qin Muye, her almond eyes sparkling and her cheeks rosy, making her look like a tempting peach ready to be picked.
Qin Muye looked away and said, "Come with me."
He rode his bike and took Song Kexia around two streets before bringing her to a small alley.
There were quite a few people in that alley, and there were many things placed around, including fruits, eggs, grains, and various homemade cakes.
She bought two pounds of red bean cakes, two pounds of egg cakes, one pound of fruit candies, and three pounds of apples.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Can I buy cigarettes and alcohol?"
Qin Muye glanced at her and turned around. "Come with me."
They went around a street and finally stopped in front of a bungalow and knocked on the door.
After a while, a man came to open the door and greeted him with a smile, "Sixth Brother, why are you here?"
"Bring a friend over to do some shopping."
When that person saw clearly who Qin Muye was talking about as a "friend", he almost staggered.
Sixth brother actually brought a girl here?
What is their relationship?
Qin Muye noticed that his eyes were not only on him but also on Song Kexia, so he said in a deep voice, "What are you looking at? The girl wants some cigarettes and alcohol. Here's a pack of Zhonghua and two bottles of Wuliangye."
"Okay."
The man went into the warehouse, looked around, and took out his stock.
"Here, Sixth Brother, what you want."
Qin Muye took the item and said, "As usual, put it on my account."
Song Kexia quickly took out the money and said, "I have money, I can buy it myself."
Although she had never bought cigarettes or alcohol, she knew from listening to Song Zhengyu and the others talking at home that these two things were very expensive.
Qin Muye: "I can afford this little thing."
It’s not because he can afford it, but because she can’t let him pay for it.
If he thought she was greedy for money and had a bad impression of her, then all her previous efforts would be in vain.
"I just feel embarrassed to let you spend so much money.
I just got paid and have some money."
"You should keep the little money you have on you." Qin Muye said to the young man, "Let's go."
The man pulled him aside and asked, "Sixth Brother, what's going on? Your partner?"
If she really is his girlfriend, it wouldn't be bad. This girl is beautiful and generous, and she is quite a match for Sixth Brother.
"What kind of person? Just an ordinary friend."
The man was shocked after hearing this. They were just ordinary friends, but he spent tens of thousands of dollars at once. It was a bit too nice of him.
"We're just ordinary friends, are you really worth spending so much money?"
"I have no money to spend, so what can I do?"
The man made a zipper gesture to his mouth. "I won't ask anymore."
Qin Muye said to Song Kexia, "Let's go."
Song Kexia responded and walked out of the small bungalow with him.
The man looked at their backs and felt that Qin Muye had not told him the truth, and there must be something going on between them.
When she walked out of the alley, Song Kexia saw an old man selling popsicles. Next to the stall, a man was eating a popsicle. He took a bite and exhaled a puff of mist.
"I want a popsicle."
Qin Muye turned around and saw her staring at the popsicle stand.
After walking for a while, she seemed to be getting hot, her fair face was flushed, and the little hair on her forehead was wet with sweat.
