Chapter 20 Entering the county again 4

Feng Qingxue stretched out her hand and asked the old lady to speak first. The old lady did not refuse and said bluntly: "Daughter, you are a good girl, and I won't hide it from you. My family's life is not very easy, so I came here to scrape together everything. Forty or fifty yuan, look at how much grain I can buy, some fine grain and some coarse grain. The whole family is counting on high-priced grain to save their lives."

Feng Qingxue felt very sad when she heard this.

She respects and feels sorry for the people of this era, because her grandparents lived in this era.

"Auntie, let me tell you the truth. We don't care what the price of food is on the black market. Besides, I don't have a scale to measure the amount of food. So I will give you all the food I brought today and give me all your money."

Feng Qingxue opened the backpack and revealed two bags of food inside.

Although such a cloth bag does not hold a lot of food, it still contains about ten kilograms, which adds up to more than twenty kilograms.

In terms of current food prices, it is very expensive.

The old lady burst into tears.

Of course she could see that without a hundred dollars she couldn't buy so much food in the basket.

"Daughter, thank you, thank you..."

The old lady was so grateful that she hurriedly took out a handkerchief bag from her arms and opened it to reveal a stack of money. There were large amounts of ten yuan in denominations, as well as one and two yuan, one and two cents, and one and two cents. "This is Forty-eight dollars and fifty-seven cents."

Feng Qingxue took the money and poured the food in her pocket into the food container the old lady brought.

The old lady also noticed the eggs and soybean oil in the basket.

Her lips moved slightly, but in the end without saying a word, she bent towards Feng Qingxue and left in a hurry, carrying the bamboo basket on her back.

Feng Qingxue remembered the old woman waiting at the Red Army Bridge. She always felt that she had a temperament very similar to her grandmother, so she packed two or three bags of grain and returned to the Red Army Bridge.

The old woman hadn't bought any food yet. When she saw her, she walked up to her and said, "My daughter..."

"Let's go."

Feng Qingxue didn't even ask her what price she could pay for the food. After the conversation, she dropped these words and turned around to leave.

After a while, the old woman followed him in surprise.

The two met at a place where no one was paying attention, and the old woman said happily: "Daughter, are you willing to give me the food in exchange?"

"What do you want to exchange for?" Feng Qingxue asked with a smile.

At this time, what she was thinking was that while she could save herself, she could help anyone she could. The money and things were both low-income, so why did the old man in front of her look so much like her grandmother? Meeting her was like meeting my grandmother.

The old woman reached out and pulled out a palm-sized black cloth bag from her sleeve and handed it to Feng Qingxue.

Feng Qingxue took it in her hand and untied the pocket, and suddenly a flash of light flashed before her eyes. She found that there were actually two gold bracelets, one finger wide, made of silk workmanship, inlaid with rubies, shining with precious light. Only almost identical.

"Auntie..." Feng Qingxue said in surprise.

"Take it, daughter, you are willing to let me exchange things for food, I am already very grateful." The old woman said.

Feng Qingxue hurriedly tightened the tie, "Auntie, this is too expensive."

"No matter how valuable it is, it was a thing of the past. Now we can't use it as food or drink." The old woman smiled bitterly and said with a very sad expression, "Daughter, I'll tell you the truth. Although the bank purchases gold to support national construction, the bank It would be a pity to only buy gold and dig out gems. This is the craft of old master craftsmen. The most important thing is that I don’t dare to go to the bank.”
