Chapter 78: Rush 2
Lin Yiyi set off at dawn, and when he arrived at Fenlong Street, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning.
Since it is the busy farming season, the streets are crowded, but they are not as crowded as usual.
Lin Yiyi carried a leather basket on her back (saying that it was 'skin', but it was actually a basket tightly woven with bamboo slices that could hold grain and vegetables. Walk quickly in the crowd.
She first came to the post office and sent the letter to Dongfang Xu.
As for the stamps, General Lin Zhan obediently sent them to Lin Yiyi's house early yesterday morning, and apologized very sincerely.
After sending the letter, she walked through the street as if nothing had happened, and came to a relatively chaotic pig market dam behind the street.
This is a secret market that no one knows.
It is a place where people who have money and no tickets, but want to buy things.
It is also a place for some villagers who have something at hand and are short of money to spend, so they want to come out to exchange some money to try their luck.
In her previous life, Lin Yiyi didn't know the role here.
It wasn't until after the country opened up that she heard the villagers talk about it.
Now she has food on hand, and she came here, of course, to find a suitable buyer and turn food into money.
But she didn't see anyone and came up to talk to her.
Lin Yiyi knows very well that in this sensitive period, if she is not careful, she will be doomed.
She has had a lifetime of experience, and when she came here, her eyes inadvertently swept over the sparse people.
In her careful search for the real target.
Suddenly, the girl's eyes lit up.
I saw that not far from her, there was an old man with a slightly rickety figure, gray hair, and a yellow face.
The old man's clothes had been patched several times, but they were very clean.
The gray hair was meticulously combed, and the eyes full of vicissitudes looked around expectantly.
Obviously, the other side is also looking for a reliable target.
Lin Yiyi pretended to walk over casually.
The old man also saw Lin Yiyi coming towards him, first stunned for a moment, and then looked at the backpack on her body expectantly.
"Oh, second aunt, why are you here?"
When Lin Yiyi saw her, her eyes were happy, and she hurriedly greeted, "Look, are you lost again?" ”
While speaking, she had stepped forward, her face was full of joy, and she naturally took the old man's arm, and said intimately:
"My mother is just afraid that you won't come home for a long time and go the wrong way, let me come here to pick you up, come and go home with me, let's go this way."
The old man listened to Lin Yiyi's words, and was slightly stunned at first, and then saw Lin Yiyi give him a look, and immediately understood.
She also hurriedly smiled: "Hey, I'm old, I don't remember the road I walked a few years ago." ”
The old man's reaction made Lin Yiyi very satisfied.
The two of them said intimate words that only relatives can have, and soon left the sight of others.
Coming to a relatively quiet alley, Lin Yiyi embarrassedly let go of the old man's arm.
"I'm sorry Grandma, I was just a stopgap measure just now."
The old man nodded: "I understand." ”
As she spoke, her eyes were glued to the basket behind her, like that, I wished I had a pair of see-through eyes to see through what was inside?
Lin Yiyi kept looking at her movements on her back basket along the way, and she could see that this old man really wanted to buy something.
She didn't want to hang the old man's appetite, but asked in a low voice, "Grandma, do you want to buy food?" ”
As soon as the old man heard her words, his originally cloudy eyes suddenly lit up like a little girl, and he nodded vigorously.
His voice trembled and he asked in a low voice, "Boudoir...... Girl, you ...... How many do you have? ”
She didn't even ask Lin Yiyi what kind of food she had here.
In this age when everyone is going to starve to death, as long as you can eat, you can do anything.
As long as there is, she is very happy.
