Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

Yang Qingqing spent the whole morning carefully observing the people who came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.

She saw that almost everyone who came would buy some eggs or ask if there was any meat.

No matter what kind of meat it is, it is snatched up in the first place.

Their supply and marketing cooperative has a fixed amount of meat for sale every day, but the variety is not fixed. The price is the same as that of the butcher shop, but the quantity is not much.

But even here, there are still many people coming to grab it, many of them are those who failed to get it at the butcher shop and come here to try their luck

Because there is no fixed time for the meat to be put on the shelves at the supply and marketing cooperatives. Anyway, it will definitely be available in the morning, but the time is not fixed.

Therefore, many people like to try their luck.

The supply and marketing cooperative bought fish today, carp and grass carp. Yang Qingqing saw that there were only about fifty of them.

They were sold out in no time. Those who had tickets bought two or three, and those who were tight on money bought one. There were very few people who didn’t want to buy one.

Yang Qingqing saw that many of the people were not wearing very good clothes, but she still came to buy fish. Someone else asked, but the fish seller said that today's fish was sold out. Come back next time

Yang Qingqing took advantage of the lunch break to find Yao Hongxia

"Sister Hongxia, I have something to tell you. Do you know what's going on in that place now?"

Yang Qingqing leaned over to Yao Hongxia's ear and whispered

"What are you doing? Do you want to go? You'd better not go to places like that."

Yao Hongxia looked at Yang Qingqing and felt that her thoughts were very dangerous. The black market was not a place a girl should care about. She took her there last time and still regretted it.

It's okay for her to go because her family members are in that line of work, and they are all very smart. Once you see her, you will know her background. No one will be so blind as to mess with her.

But if Yang Qingqing went alone, it would not be certain. There are many kidnappers nowadays, not to mention those ruffians and hooligans.

If Yang Qingqing encounters any problems because of going to the black market, she will regret it for the rest of her life.

This was later analyzed by her mother when she was chatting with her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought so much.

"I was thinking of buying some meat, eggs, and so on. I've only been there once, so I don't know the situation, so I want to ask you about it."

Yang Qingqing held Yao Hongxia's hand and said coquettishly

"I haven't been there recently. My mom and the others won't let me go. But if you want meat, just ask Liu Dajiang to leave it for you. If you're embarrassed to ask, I can go and ask for you."

"I understand, but I'm asking for too much. I'm afraid there might be a problem, so isn't that why I wanted to ask you?"

Yang Qingqing thought, I don’t want to buy, I want to sell, but I don’t have the means. I have a treasure trove but I can’t use it at all.

It’s just that our family consumes a little bit every now and then, what’s the use?

I want to make a lot of money using space like other people who traveled through time! But I don't have the guts. Isn't this the reason I want to ask around?

"I don't know! How much do you want? I think today's fish is three pounds, isn't it enough? How many people are there in your family?"

Yao Hongxia thought that she had heard that Yang Qingqing's family should not have many people, not to mention that her brother and sister-in-law both had jobs. She was a little skeptical about her wanting to buy meat, so she asked.

"You're not... huh? You... huh? You're not bringing it for someone else and getting a kickback, are you?"

Yao Hongxia questioned her in a low voice

"What are you thinking? If I take kickbacks, I can't buy it on the black market. How can I eat it? Tell me the truth."

Yang Qingqing could only feel sorry for her second sister-in-law and let her take the blame first, otherwise she would not be able to continue making up stories.

"It's my second sister-in-law. Her family lives in the same village as ours. I happened to be working at the supply and marketing cooperative, so she wanted me to buy more to give to her family. Isn't autumn harvest tiring? She didn't have the conditions to do so before, but now she has me! Haha~haha~"

"Is that so? Then you don't have to go there! You can't leave some every day. If you don't want to say it, I'll go and tell you."

"Well, I won't go. I'll go and tell them myself. There are so many people in our supply and marketing cooperative, and they all take turns coming. If you go, I'm afraid they will hate me."

"Why do they hate you?"

Yao Hongxia felt that Yang Qingqing's words were incoherent.

"They hate me for having you! You have someone to back you up, so they will definitely target me, a person with no background and a temporary worker! Besides, even if they don't say it, they may curse you in their hearts! I know you have good intentions, but I can't hurt you, right?"

"Okay, I thought it was simple. But I heard from my uncle that the inspections have been much looser recently. It's not easy for everyone. Now it's autumn harvest, so they are more relaxed. The place should not have changed. Didn't I hear him say that? I warn you, that kind of place is not something we girls should go to."

"I understand. I won't joke with my own life."

When Yang Qingqing and Yao Hongxia finished their chatter, it was time to go to work in the afternoon.

Yang Qingqing was thinking about the previous conversation at the counter. She felt that what Yao Hongxia said made sense. If there were human traffickers or something, she would be dead.

However, I still have the urge to sell some of the goods, but I am not so impulsive.

She needed to think about it carefully, but she still took advantage of the time she was in a daze to pack up the things she was going to bring to the villagers today and put them in the backpack when she got off work.

Today, Yang Qingqing specially carried a large backpack. She used to carry smaller backpacks that could not hold many things.

Two days passed in a flash. Yang Qinghe also returned home the night before, but he was not injured. However, a soldier with him was slightly injured, which delayed him for two days.

Yang Qingqing took advantage of the break to go to a deserted place, dressed herself up as a beggar, and made herself look like an old man with no money to eat.

He was hunched over, with a gray beard and messy gray hair. He picked the darkest foundation and applied it all over his body, and sprayed himself with stinky tofu-scented perfume.

Don't ask why there is a perfume with the smell of stinky tofu, she doesn't know, but she just found it. Maybe some people really love stinky tofu. They just like the smell, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't ask for it for a day.

Yang Qingqing felt that there was nothing wrong with herself in the mirror, so she went to the black market she had been to last time.

There were more people inside this time than last time, not only were there more people buying things;

Yang Qingqing walked around inside, and the man moved away automatically when he saw her, pinching his nose with a look of disgust on his face.

But no one complained. Everyone was in a hurry and tried not to talk.

Just as Yang Qingqing was about to turn around, a young man in his twenties came up to her.

"Uncle, look at what you want. Our boss said that we will arrange it for you directly. Do you want to..."

The young man did not continue speaking, but made a gesture of invitation.

When Yang Qingqing saw him coming, she thought she was exposed and was thinking about how to get away. Unexpectedly, he was not here to cause trouble.
