Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Chapter 412 I hope we meet a good person

Zhou Rong was shocked. In her mind, a gold bracelet could be exchanged for at least ten kilograms of rice. She didn't expect her aunt to be so generous.

However, these old items are now strictly checked. Once discovered, they will all be confiscated. Especially for families with bad backgrounds, if they are found to have hidden them, the consequences will be disastrous.

I guess my aunt must have exchanged it with someone on the black market, which is why she accepted my offer so readily.

Zhou Rong: "Where do we trade?"

Aunt: "There are so many people here now. If someone sees us, we will both be in trouble. You wait for me under the big tree at the end of the alley at 8 o'clock tonight. Bring any food and medicine you can get. I want them all."

Zhou Rong: "Okay."

Worried that his aunt was not telling the truth, Zhou Rong separated from her, found a deserted place, entered the space, and followed her in an RV.

This aunt's home is a spectacular courtyard with three entrances and two stone lions at the door, but it has been painted all over.

My aunt didn't go in through the front door, but went out through the back door.

Six people were crammed into a small back room.

The older man, seeing his aunt coming back, asked hurriedly, "Did you buy food and medicine?"

Aunt: "No, the organization is arresting vendors everywhere now, and many people dare not sell things. I looked around, but couldn't buy any medicine. The food in the market is mainly coarse grains, which are not suitable for making porridge.

When I came back, I met Sister Wang. She told me that a vendor had some fine grains for sale, and they were of good quality. So I went to the place she said to find the person.

But I was late, and the comrade had sold all his grain. We agreed to meet under the big tree at the end of the alley at 8 o'clock today to trade in yellow goods. Ten bracelets can be exchanged for ten kilograms of rice, which is much more cost-effective than my previous exchange of two large gold chains for one kilogram of rice. "

"The price is so low, can we trust it? Don't tell me they are setting a trap for us."

Aunt: "She is a female comrade with an accent from another place. She doesn't look like the people from the street or the inspectors. She should be like those speculators who do this business for money. We can't get food and medicine now, so we can only go to her to try. Xiaoyu's illness can't be delayed any longer."

"Well, I hope we meet a good person."

After confirming that there was no problem with his aunt's identity, Zhou Rong drove away in the RV and took special care to admire the three-in-one courtyard.

The other rooms in the yard were already full of people. Each family had casually built some stoves at the door to cook. Zhou Rong guessed that these were the residents assigned by the organization.

At the appointed time, Zhou Rong went to find his aunt under the big tree.

My aunt's husband and son hid not far away and kept watch in case anyone came to catch them.

Zhou Rong brought ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of noodles, two kilograms of eggs, one kilogram of brown sugar, and a box of "Aspirin".

When my aunt saw them, she was delighted and said she wanted all of them.

Zhou Rong: "Sure, we'll pay you and get you the goods."

The aunt took out a small cloth bag from her basket and said, "Here are ten bracelets, ten rings and earrings, and a small yellow croaker. Do you think you have enough? These are all I have at home."

Zhou Rong opened the cloth bag and shone the flashlight inside. Bracelets, rings and earrings were strung together with hemp rope, sparkling under the light.

Zhou Rong was very satisfied and handed his basket of goods to his aunt: "The payment and goods have been paid. I wish your family a happy life."

Aunt: “Thank you!”

With no shortage of food coupons, Zhou Rong took his father and his friends to eat all the delicious food in Kyoto...

When Mr. Zhou thought about the possibility of meeting a big leader, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days.

On National Day, he got up early in the morning and said he wanted to get a good position in front of Tiananmen Square so that he could talk to the leaders at close range.

He also said that he had inquired around and found that whenever there was a grand military parade, there would be a lot of people in the square and if you didn't go early, you wouldn't be able to squeeze into even the back row.

Zhou Rong glanced at his Shanghai brand all-steel watch. It was not yet 2 o'clock, and he sighed helplessly.

Having been woken up, Zhou Rong had no choice but to get up.

Zhou's mother and Zhou Chuanyi were also very excited. As soon as Zhou's father called them, they got up and washed quickly.

Kyoto University was on holiday on National Day. Nini and Zhou Jiaxing also wanted to visit the leader, so they met up with everyone at the guesthouse last night.

It was still dark and there was no way to buy breakfast, so Zhou's mother prepared some dry food in advance. Everyone just ate a few bites and then set off.

The guesthouse was quite far from Tiananmen Square. When Zhou Rong and his friends arrived, it was only 4 o'clock, but the square was already crowded with people.

Father Zhou slapped his thigh and said in annoyance: "Oh, I'm late! I should have gotten up at 12 o'clock."

Zhou Rong: "...Dad, there should be room up front. Let's go find one quickly so that it won't be taken by someone else."

Father Zhou: “Okay!”

Zhou Rong and his team found a place on the side of the Tiananmen Gate Tower where there were relatively fewer people.

Father Zhou said disappointedly: "Can we see the big leader here?"

Zhou Rong: "Sure, I brought a camera. I'll take pictures from a few more angles. I should be able to capture the scene on the tower."

After hearing this, Zhou's father felt better.

After the celebration officially began, the colorful flags, firecracker-like applause, and thunderous cheers on the square made Zhou Rong's blood boil. He followed everyone's example, waving his little book and greeting the leaders on the city wall...

Zhou Rong felt proud of the upright posture and dignified appearance of the people's soldiers. She pressed the shutter and took many photos of the marching formation.

Nini saw a familiar figure among the soldiers and hurriedly pulled Zhou Rong to confirm: "Mom, look quickly, does that person look like my second brother?!"

Zhou Rong followed Nini's finger and indeed saw a person who looked very much like Zhou Qingan.

"Your second brother wrote back earlier, saying that he was going on a mission. That shouldn't be him, right?"

Nini: "He came to participate in the military parade, and he is also carrying out a mission. No matter what, I will call him and see if he responds."

Nini did what she said, and then she kept calling out: "Second brother...Zhou Qingan..."

Zhou Jiaxing also helped shout Zhou Qingan's name.

When Zhou's father and mother learned that there was a soldier who looked like their grandson, they also started to call Zhou Qing'an by his name...

Zhou Qing'an, who was in the formation, heard someone calling him. He glanced around calmly, and when he saw his mother, sister, grandparents, he smiled slightly and blinked.

Nini: "Mom, it really is my second brother, I saw him smile and even winked in response!"

Zhou Rong also saw Zhou Qing'an's smile and wink, and quickly took a few close-up photos of him, saying proudly: "It's him, your second brother is awesome!"

After confirming that the person in the formation was Zhou Qing'an, Zhou's father shouted out the name and address of the guesthouse where he was staying: "Erwa, remember to come find us when you're done. Grandpa wants to take a picture with you!"

Zhou Qingan: “???…”

Zhou Rong, Zhou's mother: "......"
