The old lady saw through it, and in the absence of food to eat, these jade jewelry had no value at all. No matter how valuable things are, you can't eat them as food, and you can't let yourself live.

Just like in the last days, no one needs money or anything like that, and all they want is food.

At the same time, the old lady's words revealed a bit of sadness and helplessness.

However, these things have a lot of value for Zhao Xiulan.

Zhao Xiulan knew that in another ten or twenty years, when this period passed, the country re-engaged in construction, and then slowly reached the prosperous era, the value of these things would be reflected.

She may only need a little food to collect these jewels now, but when the time comes, these will be a great fortune.

Zhao Xiulan said to the old lady, "Auntie, since this is the case, I am willing to exchange food with you." ”

The old lady excitedly asked Zhao Xiulan, "Girl...... You...... Are you really willing to trade with me? ”

"Well, auntie, I know these things are valuable, you need food, I like these, isn't it right for us to exchange?

I put grain in my back basket, and it's not convenient to trade here. Let's go, Auntie, I'll send you home, and I'll give you this grain by the way. ”

The old lady's situation, Zhao Xiulan really can't rest assured, and now it's just right to send people back while sending food.

The old lady also knew that this place was indeed not suitable for trading, and her body was also very weak, so she did not take it easy.

"Girl, that's too much trouble for you."

"It's okay, auntie, I don't have anything to do anyway."

Zhao Xiulan supported the old lady and walked in the direction of the old lady's house under the guidance of the old lady.

On the way, the two of them chatted a few words. The old lady's surname was Chen, and Zhao Xiulan called her Aunt Chen.

is similar to Zhao Xiulan's guess, Aunt Chen is not a simple person.

Sometimes people's temperament can't deceive people, especially the kind of book aroma, which must be cultivated over many years.

Aunt Chen's manners and demeanor are very good, and she must have been a rich and noble family before.

Seeing the house where Aunt Chen lived confirmed Zhao Xiulan's guess.

The place where Mrs. Chen lives is a small western-style building, in the county, two-story buildings are actually rare, not to mention this kind of small western-style building, only particularly rich people will build it.

However, the courtyard of the small western-style building is very dilapidated, and some places have obviously been smashed. The exterior of the small western-style building looks good, but many places inside have also been damaged.

There was nothing in the house, only a few pieces of shabby furniture, and even the chairs and tables were lame and made of wood.

On the table are a hot water pot, two enamel jars, and several pairs of chopsticks.

Near the door, there is a small iron pot, which is probably used for cooking.

There was also a dilapidated coal stove with an iron kettle boiling hot water.

The other rooms on the first floor were empty, except for a small battered bed in one room near the south.

The furnishings in the house are in great contrast with the architecture of the small western-style building.

When Zhao Xiulan saw this scene, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Thinking of Aunt Chen's life experience and the current scene in the small western-style building, Zhao Xiulan has almost guessed. It is estimated that it was because Aunt Chen was too rich before, she was said to be not very good, and she was treated with special treatment, so she ended up like this.

There are still too many people like Mrs. Chen, and how many big landlords and capitalists have fallen here because they have money.

After Zhao Xiulan helped Mrs. Chen into the house, she asked Mrs. Chen to sit down first.
