The night was silent and the sky was already turning pale. Although it was already October, the sky was still as hot as a furnace.
"Mom, why did you wake me up so early?" Wang Shouren asked in a low voice for fear of waking others.
Qian Shulan was vague and whispered, "Mom is going to the countryside to cut grass for the pigs. You come with me."
"Oh! OK!"
So Wang Shouren got on the tractor.
But the more I drove, the more I felt something was wrong. Shouldn't we drive south when we're cutting grass for pigs? Why did we drive north? The north leads to the city.
Wang Shouren hurriedly reminded, "Mom, you're going the wrong way."
Qian Shulan hummed, but remained the same.
Wang Shouren was confused. What did this mean? He knew he was wrong but he still didn't change
Before he could ask, Qian Shulan had already parked the tractor on the side of the road.
"Boss, Mom borrowed a few hundred dollars from your uncle and bought two houses in the county town."
Wang Shouren was confused. What did that mean? Didn't Zhengguo want to buy a house? Why did his mother buy one too? "Why buy so many houses?"
"To transfer your household registration so that you can become city dwellers."
Qian Shulan explained to him the conditions for becoming a formal employee.
Wang Shouren felt very upset after hearing this. His mother spent so much money, but he didn't benefit at all.
"Don't think that mother didn't spend money on you. They worked as workers in the city and handed over 70% of their wages to mother. Without this money, how could we support a large family? Did mother secretly take out food every time that fell from the sky?"
After being scolded by her, Wang Shouren's face immediately turned red. "Mom, you are right! I am too selfish!"
Although the job is not his, he also has a share of the money earned. How can he be so selfish! His mother is so right!
"I don't blame you! It's just that I'm out of money, and I owe your uncle several hundred dollars, so I can only think of another way to make money and find jobs for you and Zhengkang."
The seriousness in Qian Shulan's tone instantly infected Wang Shouren. He swallowed nervously and asked, "What method?"
Qian Shulan got off the car quickly, then spread out the pig grass at the back of the carriage to reveal two tightly covered sacks of grain.
Wang Shouren stared at the food in the carriage with eyes wide open in disbelief. He felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. "Mom, you?"
"It's just what you think!"
Wang Shouren was completely frightened, his body froze and he almost couldn't stand.
Reselling grain will get you shot! His mother is so bold! His face was pale, and he stood there motionless, feeling cold sweat on his forehead and nose.
His lower lip was shaking, his whole body was trembling, and his voice was slightly trembling. He cried and begged her, "Mom, can we not take such risks? I'm scared!"
Qian Shulan patted his shoulder. This honest child was about to be led astray by her. "Don't be afraid, Boss! Just keep watch for me. I will go sell the goods myself. If the police come, I will run away and will definitely not be caught by them. Have you forgotten that I can run faster than a rabbit?"
Last time, in order to get everyone to hide the food so that the working group wouldn't be able to catch up with them, Qian Shulan ran to inform everyone, and Wang Shouren couldn't catch up with her at all.
Hearing this, Wang Shouren felt relieved. Yes, his mother ran very fast. The policemen probably couldn't catch up with her.
Qian Shulan smiled and said, "When the time comes, you will stand next to the tractor and pretend to rest. If the police come, remember to shout 'Zhengkang' and mother will know that it is the police."
Wang Shouren was a little worried at first, but he was embarrassed after hearing what happened next. How much does her mother dislike Zhengkang
Qian Shulan looked at his resentful eyes and said quickly, "Don't think too much. If the police ask you, just say you miss your child."
Although Wang Shouren was still a little uneasy, he had no choice but to accept it since his mother insisted on reselling the grain.
"If the police come, drive your car directly to Sanyuan Street and wait for me. I will definitely run over to find you from another alley."
Qian Shulan covered the pig grass and got back on the tractor. Wang Shouren sat beside the carriage but couldn't calm down.
After walking three more streets, Qian Shulan finally reached her destination.
Guangzhou is much larger than Liuguan County, so there are many black market locations, and this place is relatively far away.
Because we arrived early, there were not many people on the street.
Qian Shulan simply carried a sack of grain and placed it in the middle of the alley.
After putting it away, he came back to carry the second bag.
The alleys here are a bit like the hutongs in Shanghai, with all sorts of winding paths. If the police come, she can just turn inside and quickly get rid of them.
It seems that this place has become the default black market location because of this great advantage.
She chose the middle position because there was a fork in the road one meter to the right, which would be very helpful for her to escape.
Not long after, someone came over and Qian Shulan opened both sacks.
It was still daybreak, and the man couldn't see clearly. "What are you selling?"
“Rice and flour”
The man reached into the sack and felt around. Since he couldn't see clearly, he put it under his nose and smelled it. It was really flour.
"How much is one pound?"
"Rice is 48 cents, flour is 36 cents, I didn't bring a scale to estimate!"
The man obviously didn't expect that it would be sold so cheaply. He looked at the two sacks with some suspicion, wondering if there was anything adulterated inside.
He tilted his head and didn't say anything. Qian Shulan could guess that she didn't have time to explain to him why he sold it so cheaply, so she quickly added, "I don't want money, I just want the old prices! Gold, silver, jewelry and the like."
The man was relieved immediately. He said, how could it be sold so cheaply? So he quickly said, "Okay! I have silver dollars and big yellow croaker at home."
He took a look and asked directly, "How much do these two sacks weigh?"
"They are all 200 kilograms."
"I want them all!"
Qian Shulan knew that the price she sold was quite cheap, but she didn't expect this man to be so bold and actually bought them all. It seemed that his ancestors were quite wealthy.
He seemed to be worried that Qian Shulan would sell it to someone else, so he hurriedly said, "I'm going home to get the things, please don't sell it to anyone else."
"good!"
Qian Shulan was worried that this man would bring his family to rob, so she carefully lay against the wall and watched his movements. He turned into the alley on the right.
The man was jogging, very fast. In less than five minutes, he came back alone, holding two sacks in his hands.
The man was a little worried. "Please pour it for me. I will accept it only if there are no quality issues."
Qian Shulan nodded, "Okay!"
Then Qian Shulan held up the bag while the man poured grain into it. Qian Shulan held a flashlight in her mouth and shone the light on the flour.
The man stared at it without blinking, but didn't see anything wrong.
He took out a piece of black stuff from his trouser pocket and handed it to her, "Look, this is the real small yellow croaker from Shanghai."
Qian Shulan shone the flashlight into the palm of her hand. The small yellow croaker was golden in color, five centimeters long, three centimeters wide and two centimeters thick.
She remembered that the small yellow croaker weighed one liang, which was the old name at that time. One jin was sixteen liang, so converted to the current scale, it was about thirty-one grams. She tested it with her spiritual power and it was about this heavy.
"The current price of gold is nine yuan, and this small yellow croaker is about two hundred and seventy-nine yuan. The two bags of grain are a total of one hundred and sixty-eight yuan. I will pay you another one hundred and eleven yuan." He took out money from his pocket and gave it to him.
The man took it quickly.
Qian Shulan turned and left.
She did not go directly to Wang Shouren, but was afraid that this man would find out that the tractor driver knew her.
She turned right, then turned right again at the next path.
When we arrived at Sanyuan Street, Wang Shouren also came back driving a tractor.
Even after she got in the car, she was still very nervous.
It seems that she still cannot set the price too low, as it will easily arouse suspicion.
Now the price of food coupons on the black market is two yuan per pound, plus the price of food at the supply and marketing cooperative, the price of flour per pound is two yuan and twelve cents.
It was only 36 cents, much lower than others. No wonder people would suspect there was something wrong with the item.
After selling the grain, Qian Shulan let Wang Shouren walk back by himself.
"Mom, you won't let me go with you to cut grass for the pigs?"
Qian Shulan looked at him yawning and said with some concern, "You should go back and catch up on your sleep. Mom will do the job."
Wang Shouren waved his hands quickly, "No, no!"
Qian Shulan went to urge him to get out of the car, "Go back quickly!"
After everyone got off, Qian Shulan drove the tractor away.
When she came back dragging a cart full of pig feed, they had already finished their meal and were spinning in a bamboo basket in the living room.
When He Cuilan saw her come in, she immediately said, "There's food on the table for you, so hurry up and eat. You can't go to cut grass for the pigs so early."
Qian Shulan sighed, "I don't know what's going on! These pigs can't adapt to the local climate in Guangzhou and have to eat the pig grass cut early in the morning. We're going to sell them to someone soon, and we can't let them starve any more."
He Cuilan thought so too.
After dinner, Qian Shulan started her selling plan again.
She walked and stopped here and there, and she would mark the family areas she had been to to avoid having to go through them again because she was unfamiliar with the place.
In the afternoon, she had dinner at a nearby state-owned restaurant. She originally wanted to sell her wares here, but she gave up the idea when she remembered what Du Dahai said, that the goods in their state-owned restaurant were all distributed by the state.
After dinner, Qian Shulan took out the letter that Qian Weihan asked her to help pass on.
Thinking back to when he took the letter, he felt unusually uncomfortable. Qian Shulan guessed that the name on the envelope must be his first love.
Zhang Zhaodi! This name is enough to explain the kind of family she was born into! As far as the original body can remember, there are at least a dozen people with this name. Including this surname, there are five or six.
Qian Shulan started looking for the address on the back of the letter.
134 Anhua Street.
arrive!
Qian Shulan stood outside and looked at the house. This thatched house was really old. The grass on the thatched roof had been blown away by the strong wind, leaving potholes on the roof. The walls of the house were also cracked. It felt like it was about to fall down.
She stood in front of the dark wooden door of the house. The door was already rotten, with traces of ants gnawing on it. There was not even a door knocker on it. Qian Shulan could only clench her fist and knock, "Is anyone there?"
She knocked more than ten times and shouted three or four times, but still no one came to open the door or even responded.
But the door was clearly not locked.
She glanced at the sky. It was only two o'clock in the afternoon. She shouldn't still be taking a lunch break, right
Qian Shulan was just about to ask her neighbors when she heard someone in the yard responding to her.
It seemed to be the sound of something falling to the ground.
Qian Shulan struggled for a long time before she made up her mind to push open the wooden door. After pushing it open, she left the door wide open, mainly because she was afraid that others would mistake her for a thief.
"Is anyone there?" Qian Shulan deliberately quickened her pace.
There was another sound of something falling in the room.
Qian Shulan did not hesitate this time and directly pushed open the door of the main room.
As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a sour and stinky smell, which almost made her vomit!
She covered her nose and stepped back, leaning against the door and vomiting violently.
She opened the door wide, and waited until the smell had almost dissipated before Qian Shulan tried to go in. She saw an empty little room with only a bed and things scattered on the floor beside the bed, looking messy.
There was a coarse porcelain bowl on the ground filled with stinking bran paste, and many flies with green eyes were flying around the bowl.
There was a woman lying on the bed. She was about forty years old. Her face was not very old, but her skin was dry and her lips were pale with several layers of peeling. At this moment, she was half lying on the bed, holding her stomach with both hands, staring at Qian Shulan with her eyes, and uttered a slight syllable, "hungry".
Qian Shulan didn't care about anything else and quickly took out a pancake from her bag.
The woman looked like she had been hungry for several days. When she saw the bread, she took it in a hurry and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
After she had finished eating and regained some strength, Qian Shulan asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Zhang Zhaodi."
Qian Shulan was stunned for a moment. So this woman was her eldest brother’s first love
But why is this person in such a miserable state
"Where are your family members?"
When talking about this, Zhang Zhaodi's mouth twitched for a moment, but in the end she couldn't say it.
"Would you like some water?"
Zhang Zhaodi nodded.
Qian Shulan looked around and saw nothing but the bed. The only thing that could hold water was the bowl.
Qian Shulan is so disgusting!
"I'll go ask the neighbors for money!"
After saying that, he walked out of the door without waiting for Zhang Zhaodi. As soon as he walked into the yard, he suddenly thought of the letter in his hand and immediately turned back to hand it to her, "This is a letter from my eldest brother, you can take a look. By the way, my eldest brother's name is Qian Weihan."
Zhang Zhaodi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously clenched the letter with both hands.
Looking at her movements and eyes, Qian Shulan secretly wondered if this person really had anything to do with her eldest brother
Although she guessed that this woman was her elder brother's first love, she was already married and it would not be good for the two to continue to be involved.
Hey! She slapped her forehead! That's not right! If she was really married, why would she live alone? She almost died at home. Qian Shulan felt that there must be something wrong here.
