Chapter 55: Is It Worth It or Not Worth It?
Haven't eaten pork or seen a pig run?
This would have to be said in a few decades, but now......
Fortunately, Lin Ying didn't recklessly ask people, "How can I not have seen it?" There are some of them sold in the store, and if you can't afford it, you can always take a look, right?"
But thinking of the goods in the poor supply and marketing cooperatives in her county, she wisely closed her mouth, and asked curiously: "That cousin-in-law, do you know where to sell this?"
She called Li Yifeng as she spoke, "Take out your gold ring." ”
In fact, each of them has a gold ornament and a jade ornament, and the gold ornament must be sold, but the jade, Wang Huiyan is not sure, let them see the situation in the provincial capital and then decide whether to sell it.
It just so happened that the one in her hand was a gold bracelet.
Li Yifeng handed the gold ring to Lin Ying, and then she gave it to her cousin-in-law.
A very ordinary, very ordinary ring-shaped ring, with no pattern and handwriting on it.
But it's such an ordinary ring, the eldest cousin rarely has to look at it from the time she turns it over, and she wears it on her hand several times and takes it off again.
When she looked at it and saw her hand, the aunt couldn't help it, "Hurry up and give it back to this child!
The eldest cousin's face turned red for a moment.
Lin Ying hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, look, my mother and I also watched it strangely for a long time." "It's been a long time, and it's not easy to find such an ugly ring in the era in which they live.
The eldest cousin Jiang Wenhai has a very good temper, and said happily: "Just watch it for a while, I'm afraid that your cousin-in-law won't be able to pull it out when she sees it, no way, your eldest cousin is poor! Hehe, don't be envious, when our family's conditions are better in the future, I will also buy you a golden slipper to wear." The latter sentence is said to the daughter-in-law.
The eldest cousin's face looked better, and she took off the gold ring and handed it to her mother-in-law, "Mom, take a look, how much is this thing worth so small?"
The aunt looked at it and shook her head and said, "I don't know, I'll go to the bank tomorrow and ask." He explained to a few children: "The bank collects this, but the price may not be too high." ”
If they were allowed to buy it, no one would spend ten or eight dollars on a flashy thing.
But if they sell it, they will think that a gram of gold is only two dollars, which is simply too cheap.
At this moment, Lin Ying and several people looked at each other, hesitating, this ring is less than four grams, more than three grams, and it sells for seven yuan, is it for sale?
Their ticket for this trip plus a dollar to the aunt is also a lot of money, if they don't sell this trip, they will lose money. But if you sell it, it's not easy to do with this money?
pointed at him to buy food to pay for tuition, as if this idea was not very reliable.
However, in addition to this, they also have gold bracelets and gold necklaces, which add up to an estimated forty or fifty grams, and with this ring, it must be no problem to sell them for a hundred yuan.
But the problem is that I didn't tell my aunt about that thing before, and now it's not good to dig it out on the street! I can only wait until the evening to go back and tell my aunt the truth.
The aunt saw that the children didn't speak, and pulled them home, "Let's go back first, Yifeng think about it carefully, and think about it tomorrow." ”
A few children didn't move, Lin Jinghe said: "Auntie, we want to go shopping, you go back first, we'll go back when we've had enough." ”
"What's the deal...... If you can't find it, just ask about the bearing factory, and when you get there, just ask about your aunt-in-law or your eldest brother's name. ”
The two children don't look young, but they can act safely, and they can be the masters of the house when there are no adults at home, and after repeatedly promising that they will definitely find a home and not lose it, the aunt took out two cents and half a catty of food stamps for them, "Don't be hungry at noon, buy a few buns and eat bowls of noodles." ”
Lin Ying's eyes were sharp, the half-catty food stamp was given to her aunt last night, and when her mother gave it to Lin Jinghe before getting on the bus, she saw it, and the new food stamp was neatly folded at one corner.
When Lin Jinghe and a few others came, Wang Huiyan took money and food stamps, otherwise how could she buy food? You can't use Yifeng's children, right?
not only took the money, but also repeatedly told not to spend the aunt's money, and the fact that they went to eat and live had actually added a lot of burden to the aunt's family.
So Lin Jinghe took two steps back, waved his hand and said, "Don't, auntie, my mother has taken the money, we can't ask for it." ”
The aunt smiled very kindly, from last night to now, the aunt has been very kind, "I'll take it for you, it's so easy for you to come here, and you can't stay for a few days, obedient, the aunt still has this money......"
It's always hard to push and shove on the street, Lin Jinghe didn't push his aunt in the end, he held the two cents tightly, and asked with a bitter face: "What should I do? I took this money, and my mother can't scold me when I turn around!"
"Then what should I do? Take it first, didn't my mother say it, and leave some of the food I bought for my aunt when I left. When the time comes, keep the money behind. Lin Ying said impatiently: "Hurry up and get out of here, let's stay here for a long time, what should we do if people target us again?"
A few children were far away from the bank, and Lin Ying asked them, "Did you ask the eldest cousin where the black market is?" Seeing that the eldest cousin's house doesn't look like there is a shortage of food, it is estimated that he may not be able to know.
"The eldest brother said that he would help us inquire in the past few days, so that we should not worry, and said that he saw that some people in their factory could occasionally buy grain, and he would also inquire when the time came......"
Lin Ying breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, this is good, otherwise they would have nowhere to ask.
The three of them walked along the street, although there were no high-rise buildings in later generations, no traffic in later generations, and no bustling and prosperous later generations, but the old-fashioned buildings, old-fashioned streets, and European-style churches left by Lao Maozi all opened the eyes of several people.
Although most of the pedestrians on the street are still dressed in black, gray and blue, the young girls also have bright red and yellow clothes, and there are also beautiful plaid skirts. In addition to buses, there are the occasional cars passing by, not to mention the bicycles that ride on both sides of the avenue from time to time.
Compared to the county seat, it is simply two worlds.
Li Yifeng kept his lips tightly and didn't speak, Lin Ying poked his head in front of him and shook it, "Hey, don't tell you, you still have an impression of this place?"
The divorce of his parents is now known to the Lin family.
Lin Jinghe was also curious, "No, wasn't it big when you left the provincial capital?
Li Yifeng's expression was a little more normal, "I have no impression." Even he didn't know what was going on with him, walking on this street, his body couldn't help but be a little nervous.
Is he afraid of running into his father Chen Shimei, who abandoned his wife and children?
Of course, the child didn't know who Chen Shimei was before, and these were all knowledge that Lin Ying was kind enough to popularize to him.
Lin Ying spoke so fast at the time that she almost didn't say anything, she also had the same Chen Shimei father.
Fortunately, she didn't make a fool of herself to the end and braked the brake in time.
However, Li Yifeng envies her, she has a father and mother who know so much, and she can tell her stories and tell her the truth of being a human being at any time.
Lin Ying hurriedly explained, "It's my mother who tells the story, and she only tells it to me, every night my sister sleeps like a little pig and doesn't listen, my brother and they sleep in the West House again, and my mother tells me before going to bed at night." ”
What if he went to ask Jing He and Jing Guo, wouldn't the two stupid boys leak the stuffing?
