Chapter 144: Seeking Help
Sending Fu Bao was a simple matter, but several people overlooked one thing.
Fubao couldn't sit steadily on the back seat of the bicycle.
After Dongzi put Fubao on it, Fubao held on to Qin Zheng's clothes steadily, but with the slightest movement, Fubao would automatically fall forward.
He almost fell down before he could even get out, but Dongzi was quick enough to catch Fubao.
"I'll go with you and sit in the back holding Fubao," Tang Wan suggested.
"I'll go. I'll take little Fubao there." Dongzi held Fubao in his arms and didn't want to let go.
"You are so heavy, it will be so heavy to carry you around." Luo Ying said to Dongzi.
"The weather is good today, so you can all go to town and buy some things. When we get to town, let A Zheng go and deliver Fu Bao by himself." Grandma suggested.
Grandma Qi didn't say this for no reason.
Two days ago, she told Qin Zheng and Dongzi that the Chinese New Year was less than a month away and it was time to buy some new things for the house.
Since I can go to town today, I might as well get it done right away.
Luo Ying was very tempted by Grandma Qi's proposal, as she hadn't been out for a long time.
In addition, she heard Cuicui say last time that she saw Zhong Ling with a male educated youth from another village in the town, which made her always want to go to the town to try her luck and see if she could meet such a person.
Since Luo Ying also wanted to go, Tang Wan had no objection.
I can take this opportunity to go to town and buy some things for my family.
They have eaten a lot of good food during this period. Tang Wan has not bought anything for the family for a while except for the food allowance she gave to Grandma.
Since it was settled, several people went to the town together.
The coat that Tang Sheng sent me a while ago also came in handy.
Tang Wan wore one herself and wrapped little Fubao inside it.
Luo Ying wore the other one, which also covered the Dongzi in front of her.
A few people set off for the town.
Even though the weather was good these days, the ice on the road didn't stop us, and we didn't have enough time to get to town.
Tang Wan and Luo Ying were waiting in the yard. Dongzi came back only after he sent Qin Zheng and Fubao to the car.
Tang Wan thought that the black market should be more active at this time because the Chinese New Year is approaching.
But the yard was very quiet. In addition, Qin Zheng and Dongzi had been at home all the time and had not come out. Perhaps there was no movement in the black market.
Dong Zi came and found out that the current black market was indeed not as lively as Tang Wan had imagined.
When asked the reason, Dongzi was a little shocked: "It's almost Chinese New Year, so of course there aren't many people here."
When Tang Wan first heard it, she couldn't even understand what Dongzi meant.
It took a few seconds to react to the current situation.
She was accustomed to thinking about things of this era according to modern thinking.
Nowadays, the Chinese New Year is a busy time for all walks of life and the hottest time for selling things.
But the New Year at this time is a real time for rest. Farmers can rest for the whole winter, and workers have holidays during the New Year.
The black market is already deserted in winter, and no one would come out at this time of the year, so if something goes wrong, you will get yourself into trouble.
Only then did Tang Wan realize how wrong it was for her to look at things at that time from a modern perspective, just like the black market was not a big deal nowadays.
But the fact is that it is illegal to sell things on the black market now, and Qin Zheng and Dongzi have always been in a very dangerous situation.
Dongzi and Luo Ying didn't take Tang Wan's question to heart.
But before leaving the hospital, Dongzi turned around and warned Tang Wan: "Don't mention the word black market on the street later. There are too many people out there."
Luo Ying and Tang Wan nodded together.
Since there was no black market, the first place the three of them went to was naturally the supply and marketing cooperative.
