Chapter 321 Trading Market
The little girl cried, "Mother, mother, where did you go last night and didn't come back all night, don't you want Bingbing?" This morning, I wanted to go out to find you, but my grandmother pulled me and wouldn't let me go. ”
Seeing the little girl shed tears, Xu Ping was very distressed, took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped away the tears for the little girl, and comforted at the same time: "Bingbing, you are so cute, how could my mother not want you." Don't cry, isn't Mom coming back? I haven't eaten breakfast yet, but my mother has brought you something to eat. ”
Hearing that there was something to eat, the hunger quickly overshadowed the grievance, the little girl stopped her tears, looked at Xu Ping's backpack with longing eyes, and a trace of saliva came out of the corner of her mouth.
The movement in the courtyard alarmed an old woman in the house, who walked out with a cane in one hand and fumbled with the door frame in the other, and asked, "Is Xiaoping back?" ”
Seeing the old woman groping over, Xu Ping hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Mom, I'm back." I've packed some food for you and Bingbing, so let's go back to the house and eat, shall we?" ”
At this moment, the little girl Bingbing noticed Jiao Bai who had been waiting at the gate of the small courtyard and asked, "Mom, who is this uncle?" ”
Xu Ping slapped her forehead and hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiao, I was so sorry for being snub just now." Let me introduce to you, this is my daughter Tian Xiaoice, nicknamed Bingbing. This is my mother-in-law, her eyes are not very good, and she can't find the right glasses, and she can't see clearly from a little distance. Mom, Bingbing, this is Lord Jiao Bai, he is a powerful evolutionary, and he hired me to be his tour guide today. ”
Jiao Bai nodded to them and said with a smile: "Hello, I took the liberty to visit, I am sorry!" ”
Tian Xiaoice was afraid of life, and hid directly behind her mother, not daring to speak, but the old woman saluted in the direction of Jiao Bai, and said: "There is nothing to disturb, Lord Jiao, if you can come to the door, it is already a flourish." Don't stand outside, Lord Jiao, please come inside the house. ”
Jiao Bai shook his head and said, "I won't go to the house, and when Xu Ping puts down the food, we will go shopping on the street." By the way, there is also this bag of rice, which is the reward for inviting Xu Ping to be a tour guide, so let's keep it too. ”
After that, Jiao Bai took out a bag of 20 catties of rice from his personal space and handed it to Xu Ping. This family, old and young, Xu Ping can carry this bag of rice.
Xu Ping subconsciously took the rice from Jiao Bai's hand, as if she had misestimated the weight of the rice, and was taken alongside her and almost fell. Xu Ping stood firm, carried the rice with both hands instead, and looked at Jiao Bai in a daze, with an extremely complicated expression, including gratitude, doubt, and curiosity. She was curious where Jiao Bai took out the bag of rice, she had just walked with him all the way, but she didn't see him carrying things; Xu Ping wondered why there was so much rice, Jiao Bai had previously said that he would use rice to pay for her as a tour guide, but he didn't say that there was so much rice.
In the seventh year of the last days, in Leizhou City, well-preserved rice was a rarity. When you get it to the market, it is not a problem to exchange one pound of rice for thirty or forty pounds of mushrooms. And now Jiao Bai gave her a full twenty catties of rice, saving some food, enough for the family to survive for three or four months, how can Xu Ping not be grateful.
"Master Jiao, I know you don't care about this, but I still want to sincerely say thank you. Maybe these are small things to you, but for our family, they are life-saving food. Bingbing, quick, say thank you to your uncle. ”
Tian Xiaoice showed his head from behind Xu Ping, looked at Jiao Bai with a pair of clear eyes, and said timidly: "Thank you, uncle!" ”
There was a delay of more than ten minutes at Xu Ping's house, and it took at least half an hour to go back and forth, and by the time Jiao Bai and the two returned to the main street, the sun had already risen high. There is a constant stream of pedestrians, including teams of evolutionaries driving off-road vehicles and going out to hunt or search for supplies; There are ordinary people in ragged clothes, who go out in groups of three or five to find some wild vegetables in the nearby fields to satisfy their hunger; There were also female soldiers armed with spears and wearing green training uniforms, patrolling the streets in fairly neat lines.
Xu Ping, who was walking in front, turned around and asked, "Mr. Jiao, where are we going first?" ”
Jiao Bai looked at the houses and pedestrians on the street quite curiously, and replied casually: "Is there a place to buy and sell things here, take me over to see." ”
