There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

The small talk before going to bed last night was not without gain. The two of them had a close relationship and talked about some gossip. After the conversation, at least Zhou Jiao got some useful news-the old farmer brought the soil around the cinema every day before dawn. Special products come here to change things.

Obediently, this auntie exchanged some things with sewing air tickets and industrial vouchers.At four o'clock in the morning, Zhou Jiao ran to follow the aunt, and when she asked a colleague to replace her, she immediately followed her.

"Little girl, don't make a noise later, I will bargain for you when I see the one you like."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded again and again, using dialects to be close to each other.She saw that this aunt liked gossip very much and she had a girlish heart.

If ordinary people would take themselves a strange girl to the black market.

But when he arrived at the destination, Zhou Jiao also understood that this was not so much a black market as it was a morning market.In addition to some local fruits and vegetables, seafood is the most common.

While the aunt was exchanging yellow croaker with someone, Zhou Jiao also borrowed the black satchel as a cover, took ten catties of rice and exchanged a lot of local bills with an aunt.

After the change, the aunt turned around and pulled Zhou Jiao back: "You quickly see what you need, I have to go back and change shifts."

"Auntie, go back first. It's interesting, I'll go shopping."

The other party hesitated a little: "Is it all right for you alone?"

"You see I'm empty-handed." Zhou Jiao gestured, "Wait a moment when the opposite restaurant opens. I will have breakfast before going back."

Think about it, the morning market will open here in another half an hour. It's really not dangerous.She exhorted a few words and left in a hurry.

Zhou Jiao didn't worry anymore.Her goal has never been these little slapsticks, but the old farmers who seem more clever.

Not long after, many people left one after another.Zhou Jiao took a fancy to an uncle. In addition to the fact that the other person is older and a single woman herself is not suitable for contact with middle-aged people, she also fancy the skill of this trader.Very decisive, as soon as the time came, the extra bag was not sold again, so I left.

Looking at the other person's intention to hunch back and lower his head, and add a pair of cloth shoes covered with dirt, this kind of old man does things simply and neatly, and he just accepts what he knows.

Zhou Jiao followed him silently, without saying hello.If you are smart, you must wait to leave the safe area and ask yourself.

After walking for five or six minutes, the old man immediately turned around and looked at Zhou Jiao, who was smiling, and shook his head: "Little girl, you will be abducted again."

Zhou Jiao stepped forward and whispered in dialect: "Old man, I want a larger amount."

"It can be seen that when others look at things, you find someone inside." The old man threw the bag to Zhou Jiao, "If you trust it, follow me on your back."

Zhou Jiao hurriedly carried the bag on the ground on her back and followed closely behind.

"The old man's surname is Joe, ranked fourth in our team. The bullock cart is outside the city gate. It takes an hour to walk to our village."

Zhou Jiao understood: "Fourth Master Qiao, as long as you rush back before noon."

Fourth Master Qiao walked briskly with his hands on his back, and said: "When I went, someone asked, you are my granddaughter."

"Fourth Master Qiao can call me Zhou girl."

After getting on the bullock cart, the hour mentioned by Qiao Siye did not arrive.It is estimated that this old man was testing Zhou Jiao's attitude first, and if he showed any hesitation, he might find an excuse to run away.

Forty minutes later, Zhou Jiao was taken home by him. The old man asked his grandson to lead the bullock cart to the production team, and he took Zhou Jiao into the yard.

"I'm back. Is this?"

Zhou Jiao walked in and greeted an auntie and wiped her hands.

"Don't ask. This is your granddaughter!" The old man shook his hand, "You women are easy to talk. You take this girl into the house and see what they want."

The old lady looked at Zhou Jiao after hearing the words, and waved at her, "Child, you tell the lady to come in."

"Grandma Si, dried fruit, egg meat, etc., if the price can be lower, you can ask for more."

The old lady looked behind her, "Then how do you take it away?"

Zhou Jiao had nothing to say when seeing the old man smile.

Fourth Master Qiao nodded slightly to his wife.

Ask him to say that since the little girl dared to find someone on the black market alone, he must figure out how to take the goods.You don't need to worry about this at all, just let the elder son pull it over with a cart.

Seeing her husband, the old lady motioned: "Then you go to the field and talk to the children, let them bring the things, remember to avoid some people."

Seeing her husband leaving, she stared at Zhou Jiao: "Little girl, fruits are worthless, and the price is easy to say. But the price of eggs and meat must not be less. It is not easy for us to raise these greedyly in the morning."

Zhou Jiao nodded.Before coming, she hadn't thought about buying things cheaply.

"Our ugly words are at the forefront. If you are out of this village, we will not admit that if you have an accident."

"I understand these rules."

"That's good. Let's enter the house, and I will give you a price. If you think it is suitable, I will call someone to ask for more for you. It is almost the end of the year, and many people in the village are waiting for the wedding. If you pass in the first two years, You can't buy as much as you want, which means everyone will come back this year..."

Zhou Jiao followed her inside and listened to the elders mumbling about the year before and the last year, but she heard that in the past few years, no matter what happened, natural and man-made disasters, everyone's life was difficult.

Even if Zhou Jiao knew that this private land would be taken back soon after they tossed about it, she still didn't say anything.There are too many poor people to sympathize.

Especially after the other party reported her eight cents for an egg, she was even more reluctant to reveal the secret.Don't think that she doesn't understand the market in the south. In the morning, she inquired a lot of prices in the black market.

No matter how rare an egg is, if it is not sold on the black market, the supply and marketing cooperative will only get a fifth of it.The difference between the south and the north is that the weather is hot. In winter, the hens will lay eggs, which is not as expensive as in the north.Especially this year, the free market will be opened to allow farmers to buy and sell fruits and vegetables. Have you tried selling eggs in the past?

However, after the other party pointed out that the prices of various fruits ranged from five cents to 1.5 cents, Zhou Jiao didn't care about her.I belong to the door to be slaughtered, that can only suffer.

Buy less for the more expensive, and more for the cheaper.

Apart from the variety of oranges in this place, which is attractive, there is really nothing worth buying.As soon as she came here, she bought a lot of lychees, longan, and pitaya, taking advantage of her internship in the countryside.

It's just that she gradually got busy and couldn't take care of it.In addition to dried fruits, I would like to add some local specialties such as figs and bananas, otherwise I would not make a special trip.

"Okay, I understand what you mean. The more fruit the better, right?"

"Yes. I go back and give benefits to the unit, and I can also relieve my hunger. I only have a monthly salary. I really can't afford to buy all the meat."

The old lady pointed to the watch she was wearing, "I know this thing."

Zhou Jiao raised her eyebrows.

"Hahaha... strange? There is no shortage of water ghosts in our places, and many people have brothers who have escaped earlier. They will send things when they are in good conditions."

"Don't worry?" Zhou Jiao asked pointedly.

The old lady smiled meaningfully: "We are poor people who are incomparable with them. Some people who could go out a few years ago ran away."

When it comes to these sensitive topics, Zhou Jiao didn't continue and changed the subject.
