Chapter 11 Changing money
Back at his grandmother's cottage, Lin Xi held a portable two-tiered lunch box in his left hand, which contained hot wontons and meat buns bought from state-run restaurants, and a net pocket in his right hand, in which were a few apples and pears and a large grapefruit.
The fruit was taken out from the space, she originally wanted to get a hot water kettle in the space, but she couldn't find it, and the rich woman in her previous life didn't look down on these things at all, too, there were many brands of water dispensers in her previous life, plug in an electric kettle, hot and cold, how could anyone still use a hot kettle? There are some enamel jars, enamel basins and the like, all of which are elegant light powder or pure color series, and there is no such red and big flower beaming.
So if he wants an iron or bamboo shell kettle with the characteristics of this era, Lin Xi can only find a way to change the industrial volume, and then honestly go to the department store to buy it.
Liao Shuyi got up early, dressed neatly and sat at the door waiting, seeing her granddaughter come back with a smile on her face, she and her wife didn't sleep soundly last night, always felt like a dream, and finally the couple moved the travel bag that Lin Xi left in the hut to the bed and hugged it, so that they could sleep peacefully.
Lin Xi put more than a dozen instant noodle cakes and candy biscuits in the travel bag, modified cakes, bread, as well as sausages, beef jerky, and canned luncheon meat, and told Liao Shuyi and Lin Sixian to take them out and eat them when they were hungry.
Hearing Lin Xi say that she was going to go around the street, Liao Shuyi was worried and wanted to accompany her: "Grandma is a little slower, but she can still walk." ”
Lin Xi is shopping for a purpose, and he must not bring his grandmother, so he persuaded him: "I want to find some information from my classmates, I have to go to several places, my grandmother is waiting for me at home, next time we will go to play with my grandfather." ”
Liao Shuyi had no choice but to give up, and told her granddaughter to be careful, and she couldn't be curious about the crowds on the street, and she had to come back early.
Lin Xi agreed, helped Liao Shuyi back to the bed to lean, then closed the door, walked out of the small alley with a satchel on his back, and just stopped at the bus stop.
In the park, if my grandparents met Lin Linxi face-to-face, they would definitely not know each other, at this time her satchel was gone, replaced by an oval canvas bag, bulging, two twisted braids wrapped into two buns, fixed behind her head with hairpins, and covered half of her face with a big mask, and then took out a flat glasses to wear, and she also wore an obese aunt outfit, she herself felt that she looked weird and super ridiculous.
Three hours later, Lin Xi walked out of the other gate of the park, she looked around leisurely, and then rushed to the bus stop to get on the bus, reversed the bus several times halfway, and made a big detour before returning to the vicinity of her grandparents' residence, walked into the roadside public toilet to restore her original appearance, and came out without finding anything unusual around, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In such an environment, it is not easy to do some smuggling transactions.
Fortunately, I was lucky, I bumped into a few customers in that park like a cat, sold some milk powder and beef jerky, canned food, instant noodles and other food, and then someone asked Lin Xi if there were any medicines, of course Lin Xi did, antibiotics, vitamins, and painkillers sold some, the current shortage of antibiotics, the price is very expensive, Lin Xi is very honest and only charges half price, the buyer is grateful, and tells Lin Xi the more secret black market locations he knows, and let her go there for a walk, many people need these medicines.
Lin Xi won't really go, at least not in the near future, as the saying goes, those who are bold will starve to death the cowardly, but it turns out that those who are too bold will die very quickly.
This transaction got 940 yuan, some grain stamps, cloth stamps and industrial coupons, plus Lin Xi's original more than 320 yuan, a total of more than 1,200, if Guo Renyi negotiated that house, the money would be enough.
Lin Xi returned to the small alley, her grandfather was already in the house, and her grandmother was waiting for her while talking, seeing Lin Xi holding a burden, Lin Sixian hurriedly took it, Liao Shuyi opened it and saw that there were several sets of autumn clothes and pants, as well as sweaters, shoes and socks, all of which were new.
Liao Shuyi complained: "I sent clothes last time, why did I spend money to buy them again?" If you want to buy it, you can buy it, we have to wear it. ”
Lin Sixian also agreed: "If you want to buy a house, you have to save money." ”
Lin Xi said with a smile: "The weather is cold, my grandfather is easy to sweat when he works, and my grandmother is not in good health and needs to be changed frequently, it is convenient to have a few more clothes, my clothes don't need too much now, and we will add them when we have a new house, so as to save the trouble of moving around." There are also two thin woolen sweaters for Uncle Dafu and Aunt Minzhen, two sets of children's clothes and shoes and socks. That Guo Wenxin, this morning he raised his foot to show me his little shoes, and two holes were broken to reveal his little feet, haha! ”
Liao Shuyi couldn't help but laugh: "Xiao Xin's kid is quite elf and cute." ”
Lin Sixian wanted to peel apples for Lin Xi to eat, and asked her if she was hungry, where did she go to play, and did she see her classmates? Lin Xi replied one by one, and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to buy a kettle, so she took out a bunch of industrial coupons, and gave thirty yuan to her grandfather, asking him to buy a kettle tomorrow, otherwise it would be inconvenient for grandma to take medicine and drink water.
Lin Sixian said that the kettle didn't need so much money and tickets, and he wanted to return it to his granddaughter, Lin Xi simply took out all the national cloth stamps and food stamps in his pocket and stuffed them to him: "It's all in exchange, but I don't like these tickets, just have money, but I have to match a ticket, it's troublesome!" Grandpa, you keep it for yourself, and you can buy whatever you need. ”
Lin Sixian and Liao Shuyi were made to cry and laugh by their granddaughter's words, Liao Shuyi said: "You, you can be willful at home, it's not good to talk nonsense when you go out, who can not like tickets now?" If you want to buy clothes, go to a restaurant for a meal, or something, you can't do without these cloth stamps. ”
"I will buy things and clothes in the future, and try to go to overseas Chinese stores, I don't like to eat out, and I go home to eat when I am hungry."
Lin Xi was really dizzy by these colorful tickets, buying something and paying for a ticket, and having to convert it, it was really a test, think about it back then, you can do everything with a mobile phone when you go out, don't be too convenient.
Lin Sixian sighed, blaming himself for being down, if it was before, it didn't matter how his granddaughter squandered it: "Xiaoxi, it's my grandparents who owe you." ”
"What did Grandpa say? I have money, and I think we're going to get better and better, and we're not going to have a hard time. ”
Lin Xi opened the satchel he was carrying as he spoke, took out two balls of newspapers from it, peeled off the paper balls one by one, and handed them to his grandparents:
"I still have two treasures left over from those things I picked up, because they are small and easy to carry, so I didn't want to sell them over there, so I took them back, I think the black market should be able to sell for a higher price."
Lin Sixian and Liao Shuyi took the paper ball, and looked at the night pearl the size of a ping-pong ball, one is an emerald, and the other is a light blue with a little pattern, the couple couldn't help but be surprised, they grew up in a wealthy family, well-informed, and they don't need to be specially identified to see at a glance that this is a real gem, and like such a large, round and full pearl, commonly known as the night pearl, to be placed in the past, it is a priceless superb, how to value in the current environment I don't know, but if you enter the black market, It should be able to exchange a lot of money.
