Chapter 37
With money in your pocket and food in your hand, you can live without panic.

Now Jiahao is a little flustered.

She didn't expect money to be so inexhaustible. Obviously, she only bought some matches, three catties of brown sugar, ten catties of soybean oil, and three barrels of biscuits, red dates and so on.

She touched the six yuan, four cents and eight cents in her trouser pocket, and she even despised herself for being poor.

Li Weihong watched her put all the things she bought into the snakeskin bag, and couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, and said tactfully: "Why do you buy so much oil? Ordinary people can use it for a year. Could it be you?" Do you want to fire alone?"

She was discharged from the hospital today, thinking that it would not be easy to come to the town, so she went to the department store with Jia Haohao, but seeing her shopping, she felt from the bottom of her heart that she would live a good life now, and she would not spend too much on shopping .

For someone like Jia Haohao who doesn't know how to live, I'm really worried that she will have conflicts with her man after she gets married.

Thinking about the letter she had shown to herself earlier, asking her family for money so blatantly was like a prodigal, even if she came to the countryside, she couldn't save her from spending money lavishly.

She suddenly felt that she was really easy to raise, too sensible, and too worry-free for her parents and stepmother.

Jia Haohao didn't think they bought a lot of things at all, so Grandma Su and the others gave some away, and the Zhen family also had four mouths, and they belonged to the kind of middle-aged and poor people who eat poor old people.

She just felt that it was too difficult to support her family, so she should hand over this important task to Zhen Youqin in the future, right?
She has never been so aggrieved by spending money in her two lives.

"Isn't the Zhen family building a house? I think they are all tired and thin. This soybean oil is considered a bit of meat after all."

Hearing what she said, Li Weihong felt that she was still kind-hearted.

In this day and age, you can only occasionally eat fine white noodles and rice during the Chinese New Year. Usually everyone eats corn flour mixed with wild vegetables and rice bran. .

"If you are short of money, just tell me." Although Li Weihong is usually generous, but has never been so straightforward: "Anyway, I don't need much money here."

Now that everyone is eating together, she is not being taken advantage of. She doesn't know how to buy soybean oil and meat to add to everyone's meals, and eating alone makes her seem out of place, so she simply works hard and plain.

Anyway, she ate and drank well in the hospital for the past two days, and it was a dental festival.

Jia Haohao was not used to borrowing money from others, but he still smiled and thanked him.

The two went to the store to collect eggs and waited for Uncle Zhen to come over.

Uncle Zhen talked to Jia last time, and he will definitely come to deliver eggs the next day.

They are waiting on the side.

Because Jia Haohao was bored, he just stared at the place where the eggs were collected.

Private sales are not allowed now, and the streets are more strictly controlled. This is the only place where open and honest transactions can be closed. The country people in all directions have no iron rice bowls. This chicken butt bank is used by women to exchange salt, oil, rice vinegar, needles and thread. great place.

The salesperson here charged five cents each, while on the other side, what was sold was seven cents each, ten eggs seventy cents, and a tael of food stamps.

Jia Haohao's eyes became anxious, this is really a good business for making money with a monopoly.

It seems that I still don't have the brains to do business. This time the eggs are still sold at a loss. Next time, it's better to come alone, and I have to sell seven cents of each.

They waited for a while, and then Uncle Zhen arrived with a mule cart. This time, there were also five aunts. When the cart stopped, some were carrying big scorpions, and some were carrying bamboo baskets. They were all going to the egg counter. Go over there.

Jiahao took the two snakeskin bags to the car, and greeted Uncle Zhen with a smile: "Uncle, you have worked hard, what time shall we go back?"

Li Weihong followed Jia and called Uncle Zhen.

"It's still early, at least we have to wait for more than an hour," Old Uncle Zhen greeted the two of them to get in the car, and then he drove to a cool place on the side.

There is also an alley here, a few old men are playing chess by the stone bench, and three old women are holding their children, or are holding the soles of their shoes. When they see Uncle Zhen coming, the three women will come around at the same time, what do you say? I greeted him in one word: "Brother is here, why don't you go to my house for a drink?"

"My old man is waiting for you to play chess again, or my family?"

"My house is the closest, why don't you go to my house for lunch?"

Jia Haohao and Li Weihong looked at each other in dismay. Could it be that they all misunderstood these city people?Why didn't they meet such a hospitable aunt?
Or do they appreciate the old uncle Zhen's bacon?
Old man Zhen picked up a mended broken sack casually, and said vaguely, "Let's all go to Brother Liu's house."

Glancing again at the two female educated youths who were still on the mule cart, they said perfunctorily, "I'll go to a relative's house to rest for a while, you can do whatever you want."

"Uncle, just go." Jiahao said sweetly, "It's good if we just stay here and enjoy the scenery."

Now she knows why old uncle Zhen and his wife can lead such a comfortable life. Cooperating with old uncle Zhen is the one who hides his secrets?
Relatives, cheating ghosts, it's obviously a private transaction.

However, if she hadn't experienced the "cousin" who appeared suddenly, she probably wouldn't have guessed the tricks in it.

However, Jia Hao thought that it would take more than an hour to leave, and he also had a small calculation in his heart.

Now that I have some experience in buying and selling, even if Xiao Qi can't store things for me, I can ask Xiao Qi to give me eggs at any time, why don't I take this opportunity to sell them at a high price?

Seeing that Li Weihong had gotten out of the car and came over to watch him play chess, she went over and talked to her, asked her to look at something on the mule cart, and started to wander around by herself.

In fact, she had no destination, probably because she was dressed neatly, but after walking for a while, she was caught by a middle-aged woman holding a handle on the road. She looked left and right to make sure no one was paying attention to them. Asked furtively in a low voice: "Sister, do you want any eggs?"

Jia Haohao was dragged by someone without warning, and almost jumped up, thinking that he had encountered a shooter or something, and subconsciously wanted to rent an electric shock baton from the communication system, but he didn't expect that he was here to sell eggs.

What does this make her say?Deliberately planting flowers and flowers will not bloom, but unintentionally planting willows and willows to make shade?

"No~" Before she finished speaking, she had an idea and asked her in a low voice: "Sister, I want to go to the black market to buy some good things. Do you know where the black market is?"

Then he took out a white flour steamed bun from his satchel, "Actually bought a white flour steamed bun with Xiao Qi for one gold coin" and stuffed it for her.

Second Sister Hu took the steamed buns with white flour in disbelief, and then carefully looked at the young girl in front of her.

She is really cool in light yellow floral dress, with a delicate lady's watch on her wrist, liberation shoes under army green trousers, army green satchel slanted across, and two twisted braids hanging on her chest , Looking at a dress that is either a female worker in the town or a female educated youth who has gone to the countryside.

Based on her vision for many years, she felt that she was the master who was not short of money.

If Jia had known what she was thinking, he would have told her that she was mistaken, and that she only had six yuan and forty-eight cents in his pocket.

Asking her where the black market is is just to take advantage of the opportunity to make some money.

Second Sister Hu smiled, took a bite of the white flour steamed bun, and couldn't help boasting: "This steamed bun is delicious, and the noodles are strong enough."
