Su Yunyun followed her family out to work. She would take Su Kang's bicycle to the town and then take a bus to the county seat.

She chatted with Su Kang all the way, talking about all sorts of things. When she saw that Su Kang's mood had obviously improved when the bus stopped in the town, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally coaxed her third brother!

When Su Kang saw her little gesture, he felt warm in his heart, and the liver pain caused by Tian Fang's anger in the morning slowly eased.

My little sister is so caring, no wonder she is so loved!

"Little sister, when you go to the county town, don't just buy books, you have to buy yourself some delicious food. Here are 2 yuan and 1 jin of food coupons. Take them." Su Kang was afraid that his little sister would refuse, so he stuffed the money into her hand and hurriedly rode away on his bicycle.

Then I heard a voice on the wind: "I'll wait for you here in the afternoon and take you home. Be safe!"

Su Yunyun looked at the money and food coupons in her hand and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had said that she was rich, but her third brother still treated her like a child and gave her money to buy snacks. She must be still a child in his heart!

Forget it, I'll buy more food for home when the time comes!

I waited there for a while, and when I saw a bus coming from afar, I raised my arm and waved. After the bus stopped, I got on and bought a ticket. Then I looked around the bus. It was wheat harvest season, so not many people went out and there were many empty seats. I found a seat by the window and sat down.

Along the way, people kept waving to get on the bus, and the bus stopped and started many times. It took an hour and a half to reach the county town. After getting off the bus, I began to wander around. After all, it had been a long time since I last saw it. This county town was both familiar and unfamiliar. Looking at the bustling crowd around me, their clothes were clean and tidy, with few patches. Many people were traveling by bicycle. People's mental outlook was better than those in the countryside, and their skin was much whiter. Comparing the county town with the countryside, the difference can be said to be like heaven and earth.

No wonder the educated youth in the village were obsessed with returning to the city, especially Li Wenxuan and Wang Danju, who were more persistent than ordinary people. After all, if they returned to the city, they would no longer have to be exposed to the wind and sun, or work in the fields for a living. As long as their family used connections or took over their parents' jobs, they could become workers, have a stable job, and live a life respected and envied by everyone. The temptation was too great!

Thinking of this, Su Yunyun shook her head. No matter how good the city was, without the Su family, it was not her home. Once she helped her family live a good life, they would not be worse off than the people in the city.

After walking around for a while, she looked at her watch. Although the dial was worn and the time could not be clearly seen, she could vaguely tell that it was nine o'clock in the morning. Then she saw someone selling baskets on the roadside. She asked the price, 5 cents each, so she bought one, put it on her back and left quickly. She had to go to the black market quickly and could not delay any longer.

She found a deserted alley corner, entered the space, and changed into the clothes she had prepared earlier. When she appeared at the alley corner again, she saw a middle-aged woman wearing a green headscarf, her face yellow as if covered with dirt, and wearing tattered gray clothes. She was carrying a basket on her back, and the basket was covered with some green grass. No one could tell what was in the basket from the outside.

After changing clothes, Su Yunyun arrived at the black market and observed the people walking around her. Everyone lowered their heads with a nervous look, and when talking to people, they had to look around carefully. After the deal was done, the two parties exchanged quickly, and the buyer walked away with the things, while the seller quickly counted the money or tickets, put them in his pocket and left in the opposite direction.

Su Yunyun only knew about the black market, but had never traded there. She was too embarrassed to ask about the price of the transaction when she saw others successfully traded, especially since she had 15 kilograms of flour, 15 kilograms of rice, 40 eggs, and 6 apples in her basket. She didn't know if the other party needed them, so it would not be appropriate to ask rashly. She was also a little scared.

Just when I was feeling melancholy, a neatly dressed woman in her 60s walked past me. I heard her muttering, "What should I do now? My grandson is born but my mother has no milk. I can't even buy some refined rice to make rice paste. Oh, my big fat grandson, how pitiful!"

Su Yunyun's eyes lit up, and she followed carefully and asked in a hoarse voice, "Sister, I have some rice here, do you want some?"

The woman suddenly turned around, with a complicated expression of "Don't lie to me" and a bit of expectation, which made Su Yunyun want to laugh, but she quickly held back and said sincerely, "Sister, my relatives got a batch of grain through some channels, and I want to exchange it for some money and bills to save some money for my son to get married."

"How's the quality? I need to take a look first." The woman felt that Su Yunyun was honest and kind, so she believed her. However, she wanted to check the quality of the rice first. After all, it was for her eldest grandson to eat, and she would not accept poor quality rice.

"Okay, big sister, come with me." Su Yunyun took her to the back of a big tree, put the basket down, removed the grass on it, untied the rice bag, and grabbed a handful of rice to show the woman.

The woman saw the rice sparkling in the sun and could smell the aroma of rice when she got closer. She nodded in surprise and said, "This rice is first-rate. How much do you have?"

Su Yunyun saw that there was hope. After all, anything produced in this space must be of high quality!

"I only brought 15 kilograms this time, but the price is..." Su Yunyun didn't know how much to sell it for. She remembered that she had heard from her third brother that the rice in the town's supply and marketing cooperative was 2 yuan per kilogram, and many people were reluctant to buy it. Since it was produced in her own space, and the quantity was large enough, 1 yuan would be acceptable.

"I want them all. The supply and marketing cooperative charges 2 yuan per pound, but since you don't need a ticket, I'll charge you 1 yuan per pound!" The woman spoke hastily, fearing that she wouldn't be able to buy them, but she was also curious about the other things in her basket. "What else is in your basket? I think I saw something red and round."

\"There are also flour and eggs, and the red round ones are apples." Su Yunyun saw that the woman asked for 15 kilograms of rice at one time, which was a good start. She felt a little relieved and replied to her immediately.

The woman's breathing became heavier when she heard this. "Let me take a look," she walked forward and started to rummage through the basket.

Su Yunyun didn't expect her to do this, so she didn't have time to react and stop her. Fortunately, after the woman looked through them, she said, "I want all of these!"

The woman was very excited. There was flour. It looked snow-white and had the aroma of wheat. It must be new grain. The eggs were big and round, and the apples were fragrant. They were rare commodities at that time.

With these, my daughter-in-law can be well nourished, and then my eldest grandson will have milk to drink.

"I have 15 kilograms of flour, 40 eggs, and 6 apples. Can you take them all? And at this price?" Su Yunyun pretended to hesitate.

"I'll take care of everything. As for the money, don't worry, you won't lose money," the woman patted her chest. "Your flour is obviously good, just like the Fuqiang flour from the supply and marketing cooperative. They sell it for 1 cents per catty, and it's only available during Chinese New Year or May 1st and National Day. You can only buy 8 catties with a coupon, and it's often hard to buy. I'll charge you 2 cents per catty. Eggs are expensive, the supply and marketing cooperative sells them for 2 cents each, I'll give you 1 cents. Apples look like this one is almost 8 catty, so I'll charge you 1 cents each. Let me calculate how much it will cost."

The woman was seen flexing her fingers and mumbling something. After a while, she said, "15 catties of rice, 3 yuan, 3 catties of flour, 15 yuan, 3 eggs, 40 yuan, 4 apples, 6 yuan, a total of 1 yuan, sister, do you think this is feasible?"

Su Yunyun watched the woman work and then calculated the money. It seemed that she was an educated person. Since she was straightforward, she would also make some concessions. "Okay, don't ask for 12 yuan, just 1 yuan. And this basket is new too, so I'll give it to you as well. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for you to take so many things back."

Seeing Su Yunyun so generous, the woman also smiled happily and counted out 12 yuan to her. "This is the first time I have met someone who gives a basket when buying things. You are really honest. By the way, I just heard you say that your relatives have a way to get these grains, right?"

"Yes, there are still a lot at home, and I will have to sell them later."

"Sister, I live in the steel plant's staff quarters. My last name is Li. My son is the workshop director. His last name is Wang. My family has tried every way to buy these but still can't. My wife and children are in need of these things. Can you sell them to me next time you come to sell them?"

Su Yunyun looked at the woman with an anxious face, fearing that this was a one-time deal. She thought that the people in the steel plant's family compound must be rich, and perhaps they could sell more. "Okay, Sister Li, but I'm old, so let my daughter take care of it later. My daughter's surname is Su."

"Then tell your daughter to go to the staff quarters to look for Director Wang's family next time she comes." The woman packed her things and left contentedly.

After the people left, Su Yunyun hurried to the stall where she had just bought the baskets and bought 10 more baskets at once. After paying 5 yuan, the stall owner happily gave her another basket as a gift, because what she bought this morning was almost as much as he had sold in the past week. He gave her the basket in the hope that she would come to his stall to buy baskets next time.

When she reached an empty corner, Su Yunyun entered the space and filled the baskets respectively. Then she went to the black market according to the previous operation and repeated it several times. When the watch showed 11 o'clock, all the baskets she bought for the second time were given away along with other people's purchases, and then she walked out of the black market.

As she walked, she saw a man who looked very much like Han Sen from behind. However, she knew that his shoulder was injured and all the money in his hand had been confiscated by his family. What could he do in the black market? She smiled and shook her head. It seemed that she missed him, otherwise why would she think it was him when she saw someone who looked a little similar!

She found an empty corner and entered the space again. When she appeared again, she was dressed the way she was when she left in the morning. Then she calculated her income for the day. Because she had specifically stated during the transaction that she would also accept receipts, she received a total of 90 yuan in cash, as well as a lot of receipts such as cloth coupons and food coupons. Excluding the 5 yuan she spent on the basket, the cash she had in her hand, excluding the 5 yuan that Li Wenxuan paid back and the 200 yuan that Su Kang gave her, was 2 yuan.

In just a few hours this morning, she earned more than Su Kang's three-month salary!

It seems that she will have to find more opportunities to go to the black market in the future. After all, getting rich is just around the corner!

Su Yunyun happily went to the state-owned restaurant and ordered a bowl of pork dumplings, 10 large meat buns, and 10 steamed buns. A bowl of dumplings was 5 cents, a meat bun was 1 cents, and a steamed bun was 1 cents. This lunch cost her 1 yuan, plus the food coupons, which made Su Yunyun feel painful. She couldn't help spending the money.

After finishing her meal, she left the state-owned restaurant carrying steamed buns and put the buns into the space when no one was paying attention. Then she went straight to Xinhua Bookstore, picked out the fourth grade materials first, and then found a small number of math, physics and chemistry books in the corner of the bookshelf, and directly took two sets.

Then she went to the scrap yard and called out to the old man who was looking after the scrap yard in a friendly manner and stuffed another steamed bun into his hand. The old man changed his cold and indifferent attitude and when he knew she was looking for a book, he guided her to the corresponding place to look for it.

After a while, she found two sets of relatively intact junior and senior high school textbooks. Seeing that it was still early, she flipped through the books piled opposite. When she walked forward, she found that they were all covered with dust. It was obvious that no one had flipped through them for a long time.

She looked left and right and accidentally saw a book with yellowed paper and "Qian Jin Fang" written on the cover. She couldn't help but open it out of curiosity and found that the book contained descriptions of various difficult and complicated diseases, as well as treatment methods for reference and corresponding prescriptions.

Found a treasure!

Su Yunyun decisively picked up the book and sandwiched it between the junior high and high school textbooks she had chosen, and took it to the doorman for weighing. The old man weighed it and calculated it to be 8 cents. After she paid, she told the old man that she also wanted to buy a small box to put her things in. The old man asked her to bundle the books and put them aside, and directed her to the other side to look for them herself.

She walked over and saw that many wooden furniture had the carved patterns on the surface planed away, but some were not planed cleanly and still had some marks on them. At that time, when the four olds were being destroyed, very few people were willing to use this kind of furniture that represented feudal remnants, so very few people bought it, resulting in a thick layer of dust on the furniture.

She slowly searched for a box that was easy to carry. After all, if a girl picked up some large items to take back, even if there was space to store them and bring them back to the village, it would be too eye-catching to drag the large items out, and it would be very difficult to find an empty place to put them. In comparison, she felt that small boxes were more convenient, and the materials used by people in the past were solid, so they would not break after many years of use. It was still nice to take them back to store small things.

Suddenly, a box caught her eye. It was simple and heavy, and some of the corners seemed to be covered with patina. The carvings on the lid had almost been scraped away, revealing the yellow wood grain underneath. It looked yellowish in color, fine in material, and soft in texture. She could even smell a pleasant fragrance when she picked it up. Could this be the Huanghuali wood that is so popular among later generations?

She picked it up and saw that it was a suitable size, so she took it out to find the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper didn't charge her more money and let her take it away at 7 cents.

What a bargain!

She happily paid the money, picked up the books that were put aside and put them into the box, then walked out of the waste station with the box in her arms, and found a deserted place to put it in the space. She looked at the time again and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and the doctor should be at work at this time, so she walked to the county hospital.

After arriving at the hospital and registering, he went to see the doctor. When asked by the doctor, he replied that his family member had a serious shoulder injury and it was inconvenient for him to come to the hospital, so he came alone. He asked the doctor to prescribe some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs and external ointments. After taking the medicine, he felt worried that Hansen's heart would be relieved.

She was finally able to treat Han Sen's shoulder.

She walked out of the hospital happily, but she didn't notice that there was someone on the other side of the hospital door looking at her in surprise.

This person is Han Sen. The figure Su Yunyun saw in the black market who looked like Han Sen was actually him.

Han Sen had planned to speed up the process of leaving the Han family, so he went hunting in the back mountain early in the morning. Although his shoulder was injured, it did not affect his quick reaction and agility. He soon shot two pheasants. After hiding them, he went home to fill up the water tank, took the chickens and walked to the town to take a bus to the black market. Because he set out a little late, he did not run into Su Yunyun.

Pheasants were sold at 1 yuan per pound on the black market, and two pheasants were sold for a total of 1 yuan. He took the money, plus some from where he had hidden it before, and took a total of 2 yuan to the county hospital to see a doctor.

He still held on to a glimmer of hope that his shoulder could be cured. After all, he wanted to give Su Yunyun a better life.

It was unexpected to see Su Yunyun in the hospital. Why was she there? She wasn't sick or injured! Was she there to see a doctor or buy medicine for her family? Or was she there to see him?

Han Sen's heart began to beat rapidly.

But when he came out of the hospital, he felt disheartened. The doctor said that the injury on his shoulder could not be cured even in the military hospital with advanced medical technology, so this small county hospital would naturally be powerless. They could only prescribe some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs for him, which was better than nothing.

Didn't he already know the answer? Why should he hope for the best? Han Sen felt even more depressed.

But when he thought of Su Yunyun, his silent heart became lively. Why should he be sad? He was a soldier and never complained when facing difficulties. He believed that even if his shoulder was broken, he could still let Su Yunyun live a good life.

He walked firmly to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a bottle of cold cream. He carefully put it in his pocket and planned to give it to Su Yunyun when he got back.

In fact, the supply and marketing cooperative in town sells vanishing cream, but it is not convenient for him to go there to buy it. After all, his third brother works there, and villagers often go there to buy things. If his family knew that he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, they would know that he still has money, and they would make a big fuss, and his plan to leave the Han family would definitely be affected.

Thinking about how Su Yunyun often brought him food and drinks, but he gave her nothing, the vanishing cream in his pocket felt heavy.

Find an opportunity to give it to her when you get back. Don’t let her give unilaterally. Let her know that you care about her too!

Running in both directions is the most beautiful!
