She picked out two pieces of pork, three pounds of brown sugar, two pounds of millet, and three pounds of rice quickly. The old lady was all smiles.
“I’ll take this much for now!…”
Ruan Mengmeng hadn't originally planned to sell them all at once, so she nodded;
"Okay... that's 5.2 yuan in total!"
After saying that, Ruan Mengmeng thought to herself: This lady is an elderly person living nearby and has been living here. She must know the location of the black market. Why not take the opportunity to ask her?
Before the old lady could take out the money, Ruan Mengmeng approached her and asked;
"Sister, let me ask you, do you know where the black market is nearby?"
The eldest sister paused as she took out the money, looked around, and lowered her voice and said;
"Big sister! Haven't you been to the black market? It's in the alley behind the hospital..."
The old lady took out the money, counted it and found it was exactly 5.2 yuan, and handed it over;
Ruan Mengmeng was not stingy when he heard the news, and returned the two cents on it;
"Sister, I won't take these two cents from you. Just consider it as the fee for me to get the information..."
It was the first time that the old lady met such a person, and she said with a smile on her face;
"Okay, okay, okay... Then I won't be polite! I, an old woman, finally got the upper hand..."
After that, he packed up his money, packed his things, said goodbye to Ruan Mengmeng, and headed towards the hospital;
Before leaving, she also told Ruan Mengmeng that if she had any good things in the future, she could go directly to her.
She lives in the family compound behind the hospital;
The eldest lady's surname is Bai, and there are five people in her family;
My son is a small manager at a steel plant. He is usually busy and not often at home, but his life is pretty good.
Ruan Mengmeng agreed immediately. No matter if there was a chance to come again in the future, this was a good start.
After saying goodbye to the aunt, she gathered up the remaining things and carried the snakeskin bag;
I moved to a secluded place, took out some more things, put on my bag, and continued walking towards the nearby hospital...
Then, several more orders were traded;
Ruan Mengmeng had a good harvest, mostly in cash, with some individual bills, but not much.
But it doesn't matter, she didn't intend to get any useful notes from such a small fight...
To exchange bills, one has to go to the black market and trade in large quantities to get good stuff;
It was still early, and it was not safe to trade on the black market; since we were here;
She planned to visit all the nearby factories and finally go to the black market to investigate;
Ruan Mengmeng, carrying something on her back, had just reached the steel plant's family compound;
From a distance, I saw a group of women chatting under a tree;
Some are knitting sweaters, others are sewing shoe soles;
There were also a few who did nothing but eat fried beans and talk about the gossip they knew...
Where there are many people, there may be gossip, but there is also a lot of business;
Ruan Mengmeng rolled her eyes, came up with an idea, and walked forward;
She first coughed dryly a few times, "cough cough cough..."
She waited until others noticed her before pretending to be embarrassed and apologizing;
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you, which family in this courtyard is the Bai family?"
Where is there a family with the surname Bai? Ruan Mengmeng just asked casually;
A few people heard someone asking questions and temporarily stopped what they were doing and gossiping;
Seeing that she was a middle-aged woman, dressed in ordinary clothes, I didn't think much of it and thought she was visiting relatives...
A kind curly-haired woman in the crowd put down the soles of the shoes in her hands and asked curiously;
"Big sister, I've lived in this courtyard for such a long time! I've never heard of a family with the surname Bai! Did you get the wrong place?"
The others also looked puzzled and thought for a while as they looked at Ruan Mengmeng.
Indeed, there is no such person as the Bai family she mentioned; so she agreed;
"Yes, sister! Gaidi is right! We have never heard of any family here with the surname Bai..."
After saying this, everyone looked at Ruan Mengmeng with surprise and regret...
"Ah? No way... What should I do? My aunt said this before, this is it!..."
Ruan Mengmeng pretended to be surprised and said in disbelief;
"I've brought all the stuff here! Now, I can't find anyone. What should I do..."
After saying this, she wrinkled her face and pretended to be anxious and about to cry!
Her face was already dark and ugly today, and now she's crying, it looks even more horrible...
Don’t say it, the acting is really realistic;
It was obvious that she was a country woman who had come from a thousand miles away to deliver something to that so-called White Auntie;
Seeing her so sad that she was about to cry, the curly-haired woman felt a little sorry for her and exchanged glances with the others;
Others didn't think so, staring at the snakeskin bag on Ruan Mengmeng's back with their eyes shining;
If the Bai guy can't be found, they can help! Food and drink are scarce these days, are you still worried about not being able to digest it?
"Big sister, don't cry! What did you bring? Can we see it?"
The eldest curly-haired sister stood up, walked forward and asked quietly;
Before Ruan Mengmeng could answer, a short woman named Liu Xiaohua in the crowd winked at the others.
He stepped forward, grabbed Ruan Mengmeng's arm, and invited her warmly;
"Big sister! No one is home today. Let's go to my house and watch!"
Ruan Mengmeng laughed inwardly. This short woman had good eyesight and was much smarter than the curly-haired woman.
What about sending something to Aunt Bai? That’s just something Ruan Mengmeng made up.
If I don’t say this, how can anyone sympathize with her and pay attention to her?
Ruan Mengmeng paused, wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and nodded pretending to be honest;
"Okay, sister, let's go to your house!"
Liu Xiaohua smiled brightly, took Ruan Mengmeng's arm, and walked towards the family compound;
The group of women nearby, seeing that something was going to happen, didn't hesitate, packed up their things, and followed the two men.
Under Liu Xiaohua's guidance, Ruan Mengmeng successfully entered the family compound by virtue of being a distant relative of Liu Xiaohua's mother's family.
Others knew what was going on, but they didn't expose it;
Liu Xiaohua lives in a five-story building, neither too high nor too low.
Following Liu Xiaohua up to the fifth floor, a group of people rushed into Liu Xiaohua's home;
The house is not big, only three rooms. Although it is called three rooms, there are actually only two bedrooms that can be lived in.
A larger one is more than ten square meters, and a smaller one is seven or eight square meters;
The remaining room was the living room where Ruan Mengmeng and the others were;
Usually, we eat, do homework and do housework here;
There isn't even a kitchen to cook in.
Ruan Mengmeng discovered that there was no kitchen in the tube-shaped building;
Many families use a small honeycomb coal fire to cook in the corridor;
Really, there is no privacy at all. If I want to eat something delicious, I will be watched by everyone...
Arriving at Liu Xiaohua's house, Ruan Mengmeng put down the snakeskin bag from her back;
Then it was opened, revealing its contents, and a group of women quickly gathered around it;
