Chapter 19 Fat and Skinny Boy

Kou Qing Si
My own big package can hold twice as much as Nannan's package. How can I have the nerve to ask Nannan to pay the fare?
"That's okay, but I won't go back with you. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to use the soon-to-expiry ticket, and then wait for Zhang Qian, otherwise he won't be able to see us when he comes, and it will be bad if something happens again." An Yi Nan made careful arrangements. She also wanted to visit the black market. The truth was mixed with the fake. She found that the flour she brought was too white and needed to be blended...
As for going to the black market to sell things, she has no idea for the time being. First, she has supplies, and second, she is not short of money. If there is any problem, she can live her whole life hiding in space, but what about An Xiangbei?Where is he hiding?
How could she let go of being her only relative after two lifetimes?
Safety is the most important!
If the black market can go unnoticed, then don't.
"Okay, leave it to me. I'll put it all in my room. You can pick it up from me when you get back." Xie Yuanyuan promised.
The two of them separated. An Yinan first found a forest. After checking that there was no one around, she entered the space. Her wig, clothes, and makeup were all changed a lot. In order to change her body shape, she spent enough time inside. After wearing seven pieces of clothing, my whole body looked a little bloated.
After changing her makeup, she walked out of the woods, put everything in the big basket into the space, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative first with an empty basket on her back.
I bought a pound of White Rabbit toffees, two pounds of chicken cakes, and some pen and paper. Then I walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, used a big basket as a cover, and threw everything into the space.
Where is the black market?TRAIN STATION.
Although she didn't know the specific location, the train station was an information exchange area.
An Yinan was carrying a big basket on his back and watching the people coming and going around him. His eyes suddenly met a person. The man was dressed in black. He was short and about 1.5 meters tall. He had short hair and was carrying a big basket behind his back. He is a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.
"What do you want?" The young man in black came over and asked secretly, still looking around.
"Do you have white flour rice?" An Yinan didn't talk nonsense. She thought she had so much white flour rice in her space that she still had to buy it outside...
The boy in black looked at An Yinan, looking like an honest woman, "Rice is 3 cents per pound, white flour is 2 cents per pound, no votes."
An Yinan frowned. It was more than twice as expensive as the food station, but he thought about the tickets required there, and it was a black market price.
"Ten pounds of rice and ten pounds of white flour. Do you have any?" An Yinan asked, indicating that he had accepted the price.
The young man in black nodded and pointed in the direction in front. An Yinan stood a distance away from him and looked around carefully. It was his first time in the black market, so don't let others fool you.
But she wasn't too nervous. If she couldn't, she could hide in the space. And with her current appearance, even if her parents were resurrected, they wouldn't be able to recognize her.
The two walked for more than ten minutes and came to an alley. The boy in black whistled to the people inside, and a fat and white man walked out of the alley.
"Fat man, this aunt wants ten catties of rice and ten catties of white flour."
Aunt An Yinan rubbed the corners of her mouth speechlessly, and then looked at the fat man.
"Wait." The fat man nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Within 3 minutes, the fat man walked out of the alley again, opened the two white cloth bags, let An Yinan see the contents clearly, and then stretched out his hand.
An Yinan handed over the money that he had prepared long ago. After the fat man confirmed that there was no problem, he handed the rice noodles to An Yinan.
Throughout the transaction, there were only a few words.
After An Yinan walked out of the crooked alley, he saw the young man in black standing under a big tree. The two people's eyes met for a moment and then separated, as if they had never seen each other before.
An Yinan didn't stay long and went back to the woods. After checking the surroundings, he returned to the space. He took off his makeup, washed and tidied up for more than ten minutes before walking out of the woods.
This time, it was almost an hour before there was time for makeup and makeup removal. When we arrived at the stone pillar where we usually gather, Uncle Niu hadn't come back yet, but Zhang Qian was already there.
The two of them looked at each other without saying anything. They were followed by a group of aunts and aunts, and if they did anything, the news would spread throughout the village.
"An educated youth, who is in your family?" An aunt squeezed out from behind and looked at An Yinan lovingly. Although the other aunts didn't say anything, they also listened with their ears.
An Yinan smiled, "My parents are deceased..."
Looking at the smiles on the faces of those people, their parents are gone, just two sisters, marrying into their own family, isn't it just a casual discussion?I'm not afraid if I have a younger brother. He can support himself with just a bowl of rice. But An Educated Youth's work points belong to his family, which is more than 80 centimeters a day. How many people can he feed?
Seeing the calculations in the minds of these people, An Yinan said again, "But my two brothers are in the army."
"And I must eat five bowls of white rice every meal. If I don't eat, I will beat someone!" An Yinan's smile looked too gentle, so gentle that it was a bit weird.
Forehead!A group of people stared wide-eyed. Are there two brothers?They are still soldiers, they can't afford to offend...
And five bowls of rice, what kind of money can a noble family afford?They only eat rice two or three times a month, and it is mixed with rice. Even if they get [-] work points a day, it is not enough.
"Hey, what's that? I'm just asking around." The aunt who asked the question laughed, obviously trying to take advantage.
"Aunt Lu, if it's for your son, don't ask. Who doesn't know that your son plays with cats and dogs all day long? He doesn't even work for a few days when the farm is busy, so don't harm other girls." An aunt said. I couldn't stand it, so I carried a backpack with a piece of green cloth on it.
When the aunt surnamed Lu heard this, her eyes widened, "Mrs. Liu, I asked An Zhiqing to find out. I provoked you, but you want to marry a daughter-in-law. Do you have one? You have no children or grandchildren, what are you talking about here?"
Old Mrs. Liu put the big basket on the ground and smoothed her gray hair, "My son is a soldier. Please be kind. Although my son is dead, he is also a martyr. I don't mind going to the county to tell him. .”
Old Mrs. Liu rarely talks. She only had a son who died while participating in a mission last year. Three days after the news came, Old Liu who was lying in bed also left. She usually lives alone and does not interact with anyone. People moved around, and the County Revolutionary Committee went to Quanshui Village to commend her, and even asked Aunt Liu to come to the county if anything happened. In the village, Aunt Liu could not leave the yard except for farm work, and others would not mess with her.
It was An Yinan who came forward today because she said her brother was a soldier. She couldn't bear to see these people targeting military relatives.
Aunt Lu was pulled a few times, her lips curled up for a long time, but she didn't say anything.
An Yinan looked at Mrs. Liu for a moment, then helped her hold the basket in her hand, "Ms. Liu, let me help you get it."
But Aunt Liu waved her hand and took the basket over, "No need."
Then a man walked to the back corner, as if he hadn't been there just now.
"Back to the village." Uncle Niu arrived.
The carriage that used to be lively and bustling became extremely quiet because of this episode.
"That's okay, but I won't go back with you. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to use the soon-to-expiry ticket, and then wait for Zhang Qian, otherwise he won't be able to see us when he comes, and it will be bad if something happens again."
