The next morning, the doctor came to check on Grandma Meng and found no new problems.
After breakfast, Jiang Baige said to Grandma Meng, "Grandma Meng, I'm going to go out for a walk later. I want to see what's sold at the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town."
"Let's see if there's anything delicious. It's too boring to sit here without anything to eat."
Thinking that she had just put down the bowl, she thought about food again, so Grandma Meng said: "You just finished eating, why are you so greedy? I don't know how much money you have in your pocket. What will you do when you spend it all?"
Grandma Meng really thought that Jiang Baige was greedy and wanted to eat, but she also felt sorry for her spending too much money.
After the two of them spent time together last night, she knew that this was a good child, so she stopped tormenting her and started to think about her.
Jiang Baige said, "I'll just go take a look, I don't have to buy anything."
"Your legs and feet are not in good condition, and the doctor won't let you go out, otherwise I would take you with me."
"Just wait in the ward obediently. After I leave, just lie down on the bed. I'll be out for a while and will be back soon."
Thinking that young people must be very curious about the city, Grandma Meng sighed: "Go! Come back early."
Jiang Baige was delighted and said, "I will definitely be back before lunch."
After the two of them agreed, Jiang Baige went out carrying a cloth bag taken out from the space.
Just after leaving the ward, Jiang Baige met the older sister who asked for directions yesterday in the corridor.
The two smiled at each other and greeted, "Hello, big sister!"
Liu Yuhua smiled and said, "Sister, you need to go out now!"
Jiang Baige nodded: "Well, I've never been here before, let's go for a walk outside."
"Sister, which ward are you in? When you come back, I'll come talk to you," Liu Yuhua saw that she was very well-behaved and wanted to talk to her.
Jiang Baige pointed to Ward No. 7 behind him, "Right here, Ward No. 7."
After taking a look at the room number, Liu Yuhua smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead! We'll talk when you come back."
"Well, I'll be leaving first."
After separating from her elder sister, Jiang Baige left the hospital.
She definitely wouldn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative. The most important thing was to find a place with fewer people and sell some things for money.
She doesn't go to crowded places because they are too messy. She only walks in deserted alleys.
Shortly after leaving the hospital, we arrived at a densely populated residential area.
After turning several times, I entered an alley. Not long after, I met an old lady.
Not knowing how to greet them, she thought for a moment and took out two eggs from her pocket.
He chased after her for a few steps and called out to her, "Auntie, Auntie, can I ask you something?"
The old lady stopped and looked up at her. "Little comrade, what do you want to know?"
Jiang Baige glanced at both sides of the alley and quietly put the egg in the old lady's hand.
Seeing her movements, the old lady looked at her hands and quickly looked around to see if there was anyone nearby.
The old lady was very alert. Seeing that no one was around, she asked, "Young comrade, what are you doing?"
Jiang Baige asked quietly, "Auntie, do you know where the black market in the county is?"
When she asked about the black market, the old lady shook her head blankly and said, "Little comrade, asking this is a matter of life and death."
"Besides, I don't have the money to buy it. I don't know where it is. You can ask someone else."
The old lady's expression was not fake, she might really not know.
The old lady didn't help, and she returned the eggs to her, saying, "Little comrade, I heard that things there are very expensive. We can't afford them!"
Seeing that the old lady was about to leave, Jiang Baige pulled her and put the egg back in her hand, "Auntie, this is for you."
I didn't help, and I got two eggs for nothing. The old lady smiled and said, "How embarrassing! Why don't you go to my house and have a drink of water? It's not far ahead."
Jiang Baige shook her head and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I have something else to do, so I won't go."
"Okay, if you come next time, just come to my place and ask anyone about Aunt Zhao. They can tell you the way."
"Okay, Aunt Zhao, I'll be leaving first."
After separating from the old lady, Jiang Baige could only run around in the alleys. She was not afraid of getting lost. She could just ask people where the hospital was when the time came.
Aunt Zhao got two eggs for free today and went home happily, thinking, "Where did this little Bodhisattva come from? How could she be so kind?"
Jiang Baige didn't realize that she had won the old lady's heart with just two eggs.
She passed by a house and heard a child crying, and a woman also cried.
"Be good, girl! Drink this and you'll be full, then we won't be hungry anymore!"
Judging from the voice, he must be very helpless.
"Mom knows you're hungry. Your dad can't buy food, so I can only give you this. Come, have a couple of bites."
Jiang Baige stood on tiptoe and looked inside from outside the wall. There was a woman in her twenties in the yard, holding a child who looked four or five months old in her arms.
The children were crying, and the adults cried too.
The woman held a bowl of black paste in her hand, and no one knew what it was made of. She fed it to the child's mouth, but the child kept dodging it. The paste was all over his face and clothes, but he just refused to eat.
Seeing the child dodging all the time and getting his clothes dirty, the woman angrily put the bowl on the ground, turned the child over, made him lie on her lap, and slapped his little butt several times.
The child was wearing open-crotch pants, and the exposed flesh was slapped several times. The child felt hurt and burst into tears.
The child doesn’t understand what is happening, and just expresses the pain by crying.
The child's face turned red from crying. After beating the child, the woman felt distressed again. She hugged the child and coaxed him, "Be good! Don't cry, don't cry.
It sounds like the child has no milk and is crying loudly because of hunger.
Jiang Baige thought to herself, "Isn't there milk powder in the space? If my elder sister needs it, I can sell some to her. Otherwise, this child crying is too pitiful."
Given their current situation, Jiang Baige was delighted, thinking that business was coming.
She came to her eldest sister's house and knocked on the door.
There was a knock on the door. Guo Xiaofang in the yard heard someone knocking on the door and suddenly stopped crying. She wiped the tears from her face with her sleeves.
Because she had just cried, her voice was a little hoarse. She asked, "Who is it? What's the matter?" While asking, she came to the door holding the child.
Hearing footsteps approaching, Jiang Baige replied, "Sister, it's me! I'm from the same village as your mother's family."
She didn't know what to say to get the other person to open the door, so she could only lie first. Otherwise, who would pay attention to her as a stranger?
Hearing that she was from the village, Guo Xiaofang opened the door a crack. Seeing a girl at the door whom she did not recognize, she asked in confusion: "Comrade, where are you from in the village? I don't think I've seen you before."
