Chapter 137 Did you go to the black market?
Su Yunyun followed the old man and saw him take out a package from the hut. She took it and opened the package and found a copper incense burner, a vase, ancient copper coins, and a purple clay teapot inside.
The items are well preserved, exuding the heritage of history. Su Yunyun took a deep breath and said, "Master, these are all good things. I should say something that I shouldn't say. Keep these. They may be useful in the future."
The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I said I was right. You are a kind-hearted child, not the kind of greedy evil person. If it were someone else, they would not just give up what they got, but would even try to get some more good things from me before leaving."
"Uncle, no matter what, these things were left by you, which means you are destined to have them. Why don't you keep them? Even if they are useless later, it will make you feel good looking at them!" Su Yunyun felt a little unworthy of the uncle's praise, so she continued to persuade him to keep them.
"No need," the old man smiled and waved his hand, "Let me tell you the truth, I have saved up two bags of things, I just gave you one bag, and I kept the remaining bag for myself."
"Okay, then I'll take both bags. You tell me how much it costs and I'll pay you now." Su Yunyun felt relieved. She would not take all the good things left by the old man. She would feel uncomfortable about it.
Then she paid the amount the old man asked, packed the jars she bought at the beginning into her bag, and said goodbye to the old man. Before leaving, the old man reminded her, "The situation is tense now, and the people have changed. Don't come to this kind of place again!"
Su Yunyun thanked the old man again for his kind reminder, otherwise if she came here rashly next time, she might be targeted and it would be hard to say what would happen next.
After Su Yunyun left the scrap yard, she found an empty place and put the things into the space. She then began to stroll around the street as if nothing had happened. As she walked and looked around, she realized that the pedestrians on the road were walking in a hurry, not strolling leisurely like before, and there were more slogans on the walls on both sides of the road.
She remembered the agreement she had made with Aunt Li to deliver something to the family compound in half a month, and her heart tightened. Looking at the current situation, it would not be safe to go to the family compound again.
She came to Aunt Li's yard next to the Xinhua Bookstore, thinking of leaving her a note to tell her that it would be inconvenient for her to sell anything in the near future. But as soon as she arrived at the yard, she saw Aunt Li standing at the door, looking anxiously at the direction of the intersection.
Su Yunyun walked to an empty corner and entered the space. Then she disguised herself and left the space. She came to Aunt Li's courtyard gate and saw Aunt Li quietly approach her and whispered, "Don't go to the steel plant's family compound anymore. Send 30 baskets of things like this here every half a month. I'll leave you two keys, one for the main door and one for the west room. When you come, you can open the door and put the things in the west room. I'll also keep the money in advance. You can leave after you put your things away and take the money. We'll try not to meet each other so that everyone is safe."
Su Yunyun took the key from Aunt Li and agreed, promising that the things delivered next would not be short in weight and would be given in full to live up to everyone's trust.
But if the goods are delivered and she finds that there is no money, she will take the goods away.
Aunt Li repeatedly expressed that she understood, and then Su Yunyun left.
Aunt Li looked at Su Yunyun's departing back and breathed a deep sigh. She packed up some of the things that Su Yunyun had sent to the yard this morning and gave them to some people. They whispered to her that she should take care to maintain this route and not let anyone find out.
She understood that the situation was becoming tense again. She was worried that Su Yunyun would go to the family compound again in half a month. That would be like walking into trouble. Not only Su Yunyun, but also she and her old sisters would be in trouble!
She was flustered and didn't know how to notify Su Yunyun, but somehow she came to the yard next to the Xinhua Bookstore. Now that she thinks about it, it's a good thing that she came here to try her luck.
Just then, she ran into Su Yunyun coming over. She must have heard some rumors too!
After resolving the issue of ensuring the supply of supplies would not be interrupted, Aunt Li returned home with ease. She wanted to report the good news to her old sisters as soon as possible so that they would be able to continue to buy such good supplies in the future!
Su Yunyun took the key and turned to leave. She found an opportunity to enter the space to change her clothes, carried a basket, put meat buns in it, and covered it with a bundle of cloth. Then she hurried to the station. There was a bus about to depart, so she immediately got on the bus, bought the ticket, and left the county as the bus started.
She calculated in her mind that, adding the money she earned last time and this time, she now had nearly 2700 yuan, not including the 2900 yuan in her passbook. In the future, she would have an income of about 600 yuan every two weeks, which would be 1200 yuan a month, which was already a lot. So she decided to come here once every two weeks to deliver the things, and then go home. She would no longer go to the scrap yard. After all, Han Sen was not at home now, and her first priority was to ensure her own safety and not let others catch her.
When they arrived in the town, Su Kang had not finished get off work yet, so Su Yunyun rode her bike back to the village first.
When they were almost at the entrance of the village, Su Yunyun took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and put the two portions of braised pork in the basket. Thinking of the apples for Director Lu, she took out 2 apples from the space and put them under the meat buns. She stuffed the basket full and covered it with a bundle of cloth before riding her bike home.
As soon as I got home, I saw Su's mother and others busy in the yard, communicating and confirming the matters needing attention for Su Kang's wedding on that day.
Seeing Su Yunyun coming back, Su's mother was about to ask about Han Sen's matter, but she saw her carrying a basket from the handlebars of the bicycle. Then she noticed that her knuckles were white from carrying the basket. She guessed that the things in the basket must be heavy, and began to sigh in her heart.
This time when I go back to the county town, I buy things every time I come back, as if I have a grudge against the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town. I feel sad if I don’t buy something.
Su's mother winked at Li Yue to take the basket and put it on the table in the main room. Then she walked forward and opened the bag on the basket. She took out the meat buns first. Su's mother rolled her eyes at Su Yunyun. Then she took out two servings of braised pork. Su's mother curled her lips. Finally, she saw the big round red apples lying at the bottom of the basket.
Su's mother's eyes widened, and Li Yue and Wang Ye also took a deep breath. Apples were rarer than meat at that time. They hadn't eaten apples for many years, not to mention the children!
"Did you go to the black market?" Su's mother asked Su Yunyun with trembling voice.
