Chapter 96

"Hey! Miss, don't rush away! Seeing that you have driven all the way, are you exhausted? How about going to my house for a drink first?"

These old ladies would not let the meat in their mouths escape, and they persuaded them sincerely one by one.

Feng Keying's current image is not very good, her face is dark, her clothes are patched, her eyes are bright, she looks like a little village girl!
"This, this is not good?"

Feng Keying made a troubled look.

"What's wrong? Let's go, girl, go to my house to drink some water and rest."

An old lady pulled Feng Keying away without any explanation, and the other old ladies followed behind.

Feng Keying followed the old lady away with kindness, with some resistance on her face, but joy in her heart!

These old ladies thought they were smart, but how did they know that Feng Keying did it on purpose?
The old lady led Feng Keying home, and hurriedly poured water for her.Since this reason is used, of course there must be a look.

The old lady went to pour water, and the other old ladies who followed asked anxiously: "Girl, now that your cousin can't be found, what are you going to do with your pickled rabbit? Do you want to take it home?"

"My parents told me to give these three salted rabbits to my uncle, and I will be scolded if I take them back!" After speaking, she made a scared expression at the right time, and lowered her head.

The old ladies looked at each other and were about to persuade Feng Keying when the old lady finished pouring the water.

"Come on, girl, drink some water to moisten your mouth first."

The old lady handed over a large bowl of water.

"thanks, thanks!"

Feng Keying took the water, took a sip, walked for so long, and said so many words, she was really thirsty!
After Feng Keying finished drinking, these old ladies came up with their own ideas.

"Girl, look, your cousin can't find it now, and you might be scolded if you take these pickled rabbits home. Can we exchange things with you?"

Don't dare to say "buying and selling" now, that's something of capitalism.

"Mother, my parents asked me to borrow two cloth tickets from my cousin. If you don't have any, you can exchange them with money. My parents said that my sister's marriage would cost a lot of money and cloth!"

Feng Keying didn't ask for cloth tickets to make clothes for herself, but for the original owner's parents.

Money is more important!She made a plan to go to Beidahuang to meet her parents during the Chinese New Year. Valuable items such as cloth tickets cannot be sent, and they will be sent away by people who check letters.

"I have cloth tickets! I have two one-foot cloth tickets! I'll go back and get them for you!"

After saying that, the old lady ran home in a hurry to get the cloth tickets, and took other tickets along with it. Maybe this girl would collect these tickets?
The same goes for other old ladies. The old lady who poured water for Feng Keying went back to her room and took out a tin biscuit box, and took out a few tickets.

"Girl, your salted rabbit weighs about three catties, how many cloth tickets do you need?"

This old lady was a smart person and didn't know how big the ticket was. She was going to exchange it for the smallest ticket when Feng Keying told her the answer.

"Auntie, my parents said that when my sister gets married, she needs to prepare a wedding dress, as well as pillowcases and quilt covers. Of course, the more cloth tickets, the better. A rabbit needs at least two feet of cloth tickets and 5 cents."

Feng Keying has long known the prices at this time. Pork is 7 cents per catty, and rice is 2 cents per catty. Pork on the black market sells for 1 yuan 4 per catty, and rice is sold at 1 cents per catty.

The price she mentioned was not expensive at all. After all, if you have a cloth ticket, you still have to spend money to buy cloth. If you don't have money, it's a good deal.

"Girl, 5 cents more? You are too expensive!"

The old lady thought she could exchange it with a cloth ticket, but she still needed money?
"Mrs. Gu, you don't want me! Girl, here are two one-foot cloth tickets. This is 5 cents. I'll buy a salted rabbit!"

Those old ladies who went home to get money and tickets came back, and when they heard that Mrs. Gu thought it was too expensive, they quickly exchanged the tickets and money for rabbits.

You must know that in this era, there was not much refined grain, let alone meat!If you miss this time, you still don’t know when and what month you can see the meat!The supply and marketing cooperative only gets a little bit of meat each time, and the monthly meat coupons are only half a catty. Her little grandson's face is so hungry!
The scene was a little restless for a while, but fortunately the door was closed tightly, otherwise this movement would definitely arouse suspicion!
Feng Keying collected the cloth tickets and money, quickly took out the pickled rabbits and asked the old lady to pick one first.

Well!Now no one hesitated anymore, all the money and tickets were exchanged for rabbits!
These old ladies add up to a total of 7, only three of them bought it, and the others were a little dissatisfied.

"Ma'am, my dad is a hunter, but he hasn't gone hunting for a long time. This time, he went hunting to see my sister get married, and the family has no money. My sister's dowry is still far behind. Knowing that I got money and cloth tickets, I am sure." I will go up the mountain to hunt again, and I will come when there is meat."

Feng Keying comforted these old ladies, and explained clearly where the meat came from by the way, so that these old ladies would not feel uneasy.

These old ladies were really relieved when Feng Keying said that her father was Orion. Although they didn't care about the origin of the meat, they would feel relieved when they knew it.

"Girl, if your father hunts wild animals, remember to come to us!" These old ladies ordered.

"Ma'am, I know! It's getting late now, I have to go home!"

She still has to go to the post office to deliver the letter!
"Be careful on the road, girl!" These old ladies sent Feng Keying out of the cotton spinning factory's family home before returning home.

Feng Keying neatly collected the tickets and money, and carried the basket to the post office.

When they arrived at the post office, they were almost off work!Feng Keying hurried forward and said that he wanted to send a letter.

The staff at the counter were a little upset, but they sat down and waited for Feng Keying to send a letter.

Feng Keying also knew that the staff member was upset, so she gave him a navel orange.

"My cousin's family sent us a few navel oranges for us to try. They are not expensive things. Big brother, try them to see if they are delicious."

Feng Keying didn't want to do this either, but the little devil is hard to deal with, and she still has to write to her parents many times!Can't offend him.

The staff member's face softened a lot, and his attitude improved a lot.

"My name is Li Ming, sister, you can call me Brother Li! I can't accept this navel orange."

Li Ming refused.

"Brother Li, my name is Feng Keying, this navel orange is really not some expensive item, it's just for you to taste."

Feng Keying would not take back what was taken out, and besides, Li Ming obviously wanted to accept this navel orange, but he just refused because of regulations.

"Then I'll accept it! But next time, you won't need it. From now on, girl Feng, you can find me at the post office!"

Feng Keying didn't dare to follow what Li Ming said. It's okay to come to the post office to look for him in the future, but he must give some things.

"Understood, Brother Li."

Everything you say now is false, and it will be true if you bring something next time you come.

Feng Keying handed the letter to Li Ming.

"Sister, if you send this letter to the Great Northern Wilderness, it may take a month to receive a reply."
