Chapter 21: Still No Money

"Yes." Mu Xiu nodded, took the back basket down, and opened a corner, the old grandmother glanced at it, saw the egg, and showed a look of ecstasy.

"Little girl, I want all the things you brought, let's go, let's go over there." After the old grandmother finished speaking, she walked to the corner in front of her.

"Auntie, let's go over there." Mu Xiu called out to her and pointed to a bridge not far away.

On the bridge, you can see everything around you, and if something is wrong, you can leave quickly.

Although it is said that the people of this era are simple, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, in case of following the eldest lady and another person comes out, it is a trivial matter if something is robbed, if she is also kidnapped...... Anyway, no matter what he does, Mu Xiu must take the initiative.

"Okay." The old grandmother is so old, she quickly figured out the reason, and showed an approving gaze, it is really rare, this little girl is young, and she is so cautious and steady in doing things.

The two went on the bridge one after the other.

"How much is that?" The old woman asked.

"White flour is now 4 cents a catty, rice is 5 cents a catty, although they are more expensive than the market price, but these can't be bought with food stamps, eggs are 2 cents a catty, there are 20 eggs here, a total of 11 yuan." Mu Xiu added a little more money to the prices he had written down, and quoted the prices fluently.

After listening to the price, the old grandmother felt that Mu Xiu was cheaper than other places, she patted her thigh, and said with bright eyes: "You little girl, it's really real, when do you usually come over, do you have oil there?" ”

"There's soybean oil." There are not only soybean oil, but also peanut oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, and even sunflower oil, olive oil, and coconut oil...... It's just that these are too dazzling to take out.

Soybean oil, a person can only be allocated 10 catties of soybean oil a year, that is to say, a person can eat up to 8 taels of soybean oil a month.

This bit of oil is not enough to eat for half a month in modern times, but in this difficult era, it is already very good to be able to eat seven or eight taels of soybean oil a month.

The old grandmother just asked casually, but she didn't expect Mu Xiu to really have it, and she was overjoyed. "Girl, bring me some next time."

"Okay, auntie, what else do you want, I will try to bring whatever I can bring." Mu Xiu said with a smile.

"Soybean oil, eggs, white flour is too expensive, cornmeal, brown rice, if you have meat, it would be great." After the old grandmother finished reporting, she reached out and took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and when she opened it, it was a wad of coins, and she quickly counted 11 yuan and gave it to Mu Xiu.

"Auntie, two days later, at this time, I will wait for you on the bridge." Mu Xiu took the money, carefully put it into the specially sewn pocket inside the clothes, and then squatted down and put the rice noodles and eggs in the basket into the old grandmother's basket.

"Okay, I'll be there on time." The old woman took the basket and left.

Mu Xiu looked around, but no one noticed here, and few people even passed by, it seems that this place can be used as a trading point in the future.

The first money was easily earned in this way, which made Mu Xiu even more hopeful for the future, and she had a lot of food stored in her space.

Look at the time, it's time to go back to the hospital to cook, Mu Xiu just walked a few steps, suddenly thought of something, stopped, and after looking around, she walked towards a middle-aged woman with a cloth corner exposed in the basket.

After some bargaining, Mu Xiu spent 2 yuan to buy a white cloth two feet long and one foot wide......

It turned out that Mu Xiu suddenly rushed to the hospital, and when they left, they only brought a few diapers to Mu Xiaohua, fortunately this is summer, and the diapers can be dried after washing for a while, but no matter what, it is still not enough to change the wash......

Now these white cloths are enough to make diapers......

But...... Alas...... Mu Xiu sighed as she walked, she and Zhou Shuilian brought a change of clothes alone, although it was the end of August, but the day was still very hot, and there was only a ceiling fan hanging on the roof in the ward.

The people in the house are basically sweating every day, and their clothes are changed every day, and Mu Xiu has to wash Zhou Shuilian and the clothes she changed every night.

Although Zhou Shuilian is in confinement, according to the old habit, she can't blow any wind, but now that she lives in the hospital, if she doesn't turn on the ceiling fan, the room is like a steamer, and the people in bed No. 1 and bed No. 2 will not agree, so she can only grieve Zhou Shuilian.

Zhou Shuilian As long as Mu Xiaohua can be healthy, it doesn't matter if she sits in confinement or not, but Mu Xiu is a little distressed in her heart, and she is even more depressed when she touches the money she made today in her pocket......

You can make more money by making a few more trips, but how can this money get to the bright road, which is really a headache.

After Mu Xiu returned to the hospital, Mu Xiaohua just came back from treatment, and the nurse who sent Mu Xiaohua back handed Mu Xiu the fee sheet.

"This is the cost of today's treatment."

Mu Xiu took the charge and looked at it, forty yuan, and frowned, Mu Xiaohua needed forty yuan a day for treatment, Mu Xiu only had one hundred yuan, and today's expenses were only twenty-nine yuan, counting the money earned today......

It seems that I still have to go to the black market again in the afternoon, no matter what Zhou Shuilian thinks, I will pay today's fee first, and then I will leave tomorrow's matter to solve it tomorrow, and if I can have one more day of treatment, I will have more hope!

"Xiu, your father has been back for three days, right?" Zhou Shuilian took the charge slip from Mu Xiu's hand, and she asked with some concern.

"It's been three days in a row." Mu Xiu counted the days.

"That's supposed to be back soon, right?" Zhou Shuilian looked at Mu Xiu, as if she wanted to get a positive answer from Mu Xiu.

"Almost." Mu Xiu nodded.

"That's good, Xiu, isn't the hospitalization cost enough?"

"It's still a little bit short, but, mother, you don't have to worry, I'll go talk to the doctor to see if I can owe it first, and then pay it to the hospital when my father comes back." Mu Xiu comforted Zhou Shuilian.

"If you don't have money, you don't want to leave, shameless, people like you always try their best to dig into the corners of socialism and gather socialist wool." The mother who accompanied the No. 2 bed said sneeringly.

No way, the space in the ward is so small, the interval between the beds is very close, unless the voice is deliberately very low, otherwise everyone can basically hear it.

"This girl, we don't have ...... As soon as the child's father came back, we made up the expenses, we are not the ones who pay the bills......" Zhou Shuilian explained anxiously, otherwise such a big hat would be crushed to death.

"Yo, will the person who pays the debt still write the debt on his head? Then you will be discharged from the hospital, and you will come back when you have money. The mother who accompanied the No. 2 bed looked at Mu Xiu proudly, this annoying person can finally go!
