Chapter 14 Transactions
Thinking of some clothes with built-in pockets, Song Xi felt that Zhou Yi should have them too, so he reached for Zhou Yi's top pocket again, but before he touched his clothes, his hand was caught, and Zhou Yi closed his eyes , the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Daughter-in-law, you are playing with fire!"
Song Xi was stunned by this domineering quotation. She just stared at Zhou Yi who had her eyes closed tightly. He didn't even open his eyes, so he knew it was her. I have to say this man's Perception is too sharp.
Song Xi wanted to pull her hand back, but Zhou Yi was too strong and her body was too weak, so she couldn't pull it back at all. She lay down and rested helplessly, forget it, don't read it, isn't it just a handwritten piece of paper Is it a marriage certificate, and there is no photo on it, what is there to look at?
Song Xi woke up after a nap, the whole world was pitch black, she felt the darkness and pulled the light cord, the room suddenly lit up with a warm yellow light, Zhou Yi was not in the room, he must have gone to a state-run hotel to buy dinner Bar!
Private ownership is not allowed in this era. Meals, lodging, and bathing are all public. Song Xi took out the watch she hid from her clothes. It was already half past nine in the evening. At this point, the state-run hotel should be closed!
I don't know if Zhou Yi can buy dinner.
Recalling what Li Qingqing said, the night market starts after dark and ends before dawn, which means that the night market has already started, and she has to hurry up and sell some things for some money and tickets while Zhou Yi is away, so that she can live a normal life.
Fearing that Zhou Yi would not see her when he came back, he would be nervous and anxious to find her. Before leaving, Song Xi wrote a note and put it on the pillow. In a very simple sentence, he said that she would go out for a walk to exercise, and soon return.
Although her body has not recovered, it is still possible to walk a few steps. The things have been tidied up and placed in a corner of the supermarket.
Song Xi leaned on the wall and went downstairs slowly. Li Qingqing was off work, and the current staff member was an old man. Song Xi stepped forward and handed over a handful of white rabbit toffee, "Master, I have something to go out for a while, wait a minute My husband is back, please tell him for me, sir."
Seeing the big white rabbit toffee, the old man remembered his grandson's greedy look, and nodded in agreement with a smile. Seeing the girl in front of him with a wound on her head, her pale face, and her fragile appearance, the old man was a little worried, "Little Where does comrade want to go? Do you want grandpa to help?"
He was mainly afraid that the little girl would be overwhelmed, otherwise why would he go out while her husband was away?
At first glance, she looks like the kind of poor woman who wants to escape from her husband.
Song Xi didn't know that the old man had such a big brain, and he imagined that she was beaten so badly by Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi looked a little serious, but he didn't look like a bad person! Does she look like a domestic abuser?
But facing the old man's worries, Song Xi really didn't know what to say. She nodded and smiled at the old man, and walked outside step by step. When she reached a dark corner, she hurried into the supermarket and took a men's wig to wear. On the night, she also used tattoo stickers to put a very realistic scar on her face. After the makeup was completed, she came out of the supermarket and started looking for the so-called night market according to the route map drawn by Li Qingqing.
When she was about to approach the destination on the road map, Song Xi took out the things she had prepared earlier, twenty catties of rice, twenty catties of millet, twenty catties of peanuts, twenty packs of brown sugar, twenty packs of white sugar, As well as ten watches and a hundred catties, she really couldn't carry them, so she had to take out a handful of white rabbit toffee and ask the **** man guarding the door to help her carry them in.
Song Xi was talking about looking for the person in charge, so the **** man directly carried her basket of things into a room, and there were two **** men in the room.
One is younger, probably only in his twenties, and the other is a middle-aged man, in his forties. Fortunately, the two of them only make money and don't kill themselves. Otherwise, Song Xi would have given away so many good things. dangerous.
Wen Qiang, a young **** man, took out the items in the box and placed them on the table, inspected them one by one, and found that they were of high quality. He even glanced at Song Xi in surprise, seeing the coldness and sternness in Song Xi's eyes, and guessed that There must be someone behind her, and Wen Qiang didn't want to cheat her, as long as he can make money, he doesn't bother to do things that seek money and kill.
In the end, rice, millet, peanuts, brown sugar and white sugar were all traded at a price of 1.5 a catty, and the watch was 100 yuan a piece. That is to say, Song Xi earned 1,150 yuan for this basket of things.
But she only needed 900 yuan in cash, and the rest of the money was exchanged for various necessities in daily life, such as cloth tickets, food tickets, meat tickets, cotton tickets, coal tickets, industrial tickets, kerosene tickets and Vegetable oil ticket.
More than two hundred yuan can't change many tickets, but it is enough for the two of them to live for a while.
Wen Qiang shouted when Song Xi left, "Brother, don't forget us if there are good things in the future!"
"Okay, I will have good things in the future, and you are the only one."
The first transaction went smoothly and nothing bad happened. Song Xi felt that they were not bad people, but she was willing to establish a good relationship with them, because in this way, she could live a better life in this era of restrictions everywhere. .
Coming out of the night market, Song Xi was already covered in sweat, as if she had been soaked in water. This weak body became like this after such a little exercise. I don't know how long it will take to recover.
No one followed Song Xi along the way. It seemed that they were serious businessmen. It would be good to cooperate with such people, and there would be no danger. Song Xi took off her wig, tore off the fake scars on her face in satisfaction, and changed Returning to the original appearance, she walked slowly towards the guest house. In the darkness near the guest house, she took out the things she had arranged in advance from the supermarket. Seeing a figure swaying in front of the guest house, Song Xi tentatively called out Said, "Brother Yi, Brother Yi, is that you?"
Zhou Yi, who was waiting anxiously by the door, heard a familiar voice, hurriedly borrowed a flashlight from the old man, and walked towards the source of the sound in the dark. Song Xi knew that if he didn't get scolded today, this matter would be difficult. , but she didn't want to be scolded, so the first time Zhou Yi came over, she leaned into his arms and closed her eyes weakly.
Even if Zhou Yi gets angry again, he still can't bear to speak harsh words to her at this moment!
She also knew that she was really brave today, but there was nothing she could do. If she didn't exchange some money or bring something back, she always felt uneasy, and always felt that the supermarket would leave her, making her happy in vain.
