Chapter 8 Before going to the countryside
Author: Mao Sui loves to eat sweets
After Mother Han finished explaining to her second sister, she looked at Father Han without waiting for her reply.
"Master, you can exchange some national food stamps and combine them with the miscellaneous stamps from our family. It will be enough for the time being."
"Send a telegram home if your son needs anything over there, and mom will send it to you soon."
"Girl, you're not too busy in the car. In the past two days, you can use the wool at home to knit a sweater for your brother."
"If we have chosen a place, your brother will leave at a moment's notice, so you should hurry up, you know?"
Sister Han: "Mom, don't worry about this. Even if I stay up late, I will knit a sweater for my brother as soon as possible."
Mother Han nodded and continued: "No matter where we end up in the Northeast, it will be much colder than our Sijiu City."
"Our quilts are not enough over there, so my son will take the quilts he has at home first."
"Mom will look for some cotton later and make you new quilts, new cotton jackets, cotton trousers, and cotton shoes."
"We won't suffer, nor will we starve. We can just cope with it while we go to work in the fields."
"Don't try to be brave and tire yourself out, otherwise Mom will cry to death at home."
"Mom will send you whatever you need, but you are not allowed to take a wife there. Do you understand?"
Han Li: "Mom, I know this. Taking a wife there means cutting off the way back to the city."
"I don't plan to live in the countryside all my life. I won't be confused like that."
"Besides, I'm still young. Isn't it a bit early for you to say this?"
"You'd better make some plans for eldest sister, she's already old enough to see each other."
When Mother Han heard this, she said angrily: "Your eldest sister has had several dates with her, but she doesn't like any of them."
"I don't know what she is looking for. If she continues like this, I will find someone to marry her to."
Han Li: "No, you should let my eldest sister choose slowly. After all, this is a matter that affects her whole life."
"Our family is very open-minded. Even if the eldest sister chooses another 20 years, I will support it."
Mother Han: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Sister Han: "I think my younger brother is right, I am not in a hurry to get married."
"You don't know, last time Mrs. Liu introduced the teacher at the street corner. He was tall, tall, and elegant."
"As soon as we met, he tried to see if I could transfer my job to his younger sister after we got married. He also said that he couldn't bear to see my younger sister go to the countryside and suffer."
"Bah, I don't even know what he is. If I marry such a person, will I be able to live with him?"
Mother Han: "You damn girl, why didn't you tell me earlier? Let's see if I don't scold Mrs. Liu to death tomorrow."
"I don't even know about it myself, so I just want to introduce it to my girl."
After Mother Han finished venting her anger, Xiaomei Han stammered.
"Mom, what do you want me to do for my brother?"
"What should we do? Why don't you tell me this? Take apart your brother's bedding and wash it."
"Wash and iron the clothes, and then help your brother make a new pair of cloth shoes for him to wear when he comes back from the fields."
"His feet always like to sweat. If he wears yellow rubber shoes all the time, can he still have smelly feet?"
Han Li.
After deciding that he was going to the countryside, Han Li began to prepare some necessities for himself.
At the very least, you should bring more food. Even if your family gives you money, you may not be able to buy good things if you have money.
He didn't know whether there was electricity or not where he was going, so he had to prepare some candles.
After this thing breaks down, it becomes a pile of wax. You can smelt it yourself and thread a rope through the middle to use it.
He feels that he still lacks a lot of things, but he doesn't know what he is missing?
And where do these things come from? Han Li thought of a place he was unwilling to go to a few days ago, the black market.
If a black market can be run, there must be people behind it to support it, otherwise it will collapse in one fell swoop.
No matter who was behind it, Han Li felt that he could take the risk.
If you can get to the root of it, you can rob the rich and give to the poor.
Anyway, the decomposition can be performed within ten meters, and then it will be placed in the space.
If you don't bring any money or belongings when you go there, you won't be caught even if you encounter inspections.
Overall, there was basically no risk to him, so Han Li was a little tempted.
But now I first need to find a reason to stay outside. All I need to do is say hello to Mother Han.
This is nothing to today’s family education. Of course, it has a great impact on the general environment.
Most of today's children are almost free-range. Even the first-grade children go to and from school by themselves.
Unlike in later generations, parents had to pick up and drop off children when they were young, but when they grew up, parents had to guard against their children being deceived into cheating.
For a native like him, there is no need to inquire about the location of the black market. He often hears this kind of news. In addition, the situation may have become a little looser in recent years, and the number of black markets in the Forty-Nine Cities has increased significantly.
His target is not the customers who come to the black market, but the organizers behind the scenes.
So Han Li went out after saying hello to Mother Han that day. Not only must he be careful, but he must also be patient.
It’s not good to think that the black market is mysterious to you, it is just an organized trading place.
Han Li paid a dime to go in and look around. Most of the places inside were for people to exchange daily necessities.
For example: oil, white flour, corn flour, sorghum flour, eggs, a small amount of meat, etc.
Of course, there are also antiques, watches and other large items that are easy to carry, but the quantity is a bit small.
However, when good things like oil, white flour, and rice appear, they will be taken away immediately.
Many of the stalls look like they are run by black market members. Their products are relatively complete, but the prices are much more expensive than others.
Han Li just looked at these things, he had no intention of taking anything from these people.
He also didn't plan to take risks in public. As for the situation, Han Li didn't notice it, and he didn't have time to watch it here.
He didn't buy anything himself, and if he wandered around here for a long time, he would be beaten as if he were a colleague.
Han Li walked out of the alley and hid in an abandoned house.
This was the place he had just chosen, and he could clearly see the situation at the entrance of the alley.
He was also trying his luck by choosing this place, because the black market had a total of four exits.
If he couldn't wait here, he might have failed today.
There were more people coming to the black market at night than during the day, so Han Li squatted near the black market until dawn.
His whole body was bitten and he felt really sleepy and itchy, just when he almost couldn't bear it anymore.
A carriage came from a distance, and then a group of people ran out of the alley, and they packed the carriage full of people.
The speed was really fast, and then he followed the carriage and left here.
