Chapter 486
In the morning, Chongqing City was shrouded in thick fog.

At the foot of the Pearl Mountain, in a private house with its own yard, under the window eaves on the second floor, Li Chong was lying on the bed and sound asleep, thoughts floating in his mind unconsciously.

Slowly, the consciousness wandering around felt a little itchy on the face, as if catkins were constantly flying on the face in April.

The constant tickling sensation kept raising Li Chong's consciousness, until Li Chong heard laughter in his ear.

Opening her eyelids, she found Lin Wanru squatting on the bedside, painting herself with the ends of her hair, with a smile overflowing from her eyes, as if she hadn't realized that the person in front of her had woken up.

Li Chong grabbed Lin Wanru's wrist with his left hand, it felt as warm as suet jade, and it was soft and comfortable to hold in his hand.

"Wake up."

Just as Lin Wanru was about to stand up halfway, Li Chong wrapped her waist with his right hand and fell down on his quilt.

"What do you want!"

Lin Wanru fell down, exclaimed, and raised her hand, fearing that the jade bracelet on her hand would be crushed.

Li Chong said softly, "Hush, listen!"

Calm down, on the bed, the morning light is pouring down, and each other can hear each other's heartbeat, as the heartbeat rhythm of each other gradually becomes compatible, the corners of each other's mouths are curved in unison
"Big Brother, Big Brother, wake up, you said you would take me out to buy delicious and fun things today!"

Outside the door, there was a "bang bang" sound, and the third sister Yuanxiu kept knocking on the door outside.

After a while, Li Chong opened the door, and saw Sanmei standing in front of the door expectantly.

Li Chong stretched out his hand, ignoring the excitement of shopping on the third sister's face, but retaliated by pulling strange expressions on the third sister's face left and right, ignoring the younger sister's gradually becoming aggrieved expression.

After washing up, under the mist, Li Chong went to the yard to practice boxing and kicking. Lin Wanru, second brother and third sister followed behind and followed suit.

After breakfast, Li Chong was dressed in casual clothes, holding the hand of his younger sister Yuanxiu, and prepared to go for a walk on the street with Lin Wanru.

"Don't follow, there is no need for guards here, that Shunsheng Hangsheng, you two have followed him these days to learn a few military moves, especially marksmanship, He Maoping, you can help me train these two people marksmanship."

As Li Chong's daily bodyguard, He Maoping was about to hang his gun and follow behind, but was stopped by Li Chong. He took Lin Wanru out for shopping, and it was fine with a small light bulb, and followed by a big light bulb, it was not for himself Is it blocking?

Now Li Chong directly assigned He Maoping the task, which was to train the two brothers Shunsheng and Hengsheng when they were free.The two brothers Shunsheng and Hengsheng were the main guards when Li Chong was not at home, so it would be beneficial and harmless to learn something from the army.

After the three of them went out, they didn't take a car and walked all by their feet. If they went shopping and took a car, it wouldn't be much fun.

Mingzhu Mountain belongs to the outskirts of the city, and the three of them are walking towards the city at the moment.

Although the city was the key bombing target of the Devil's planes, many people ran out after several bombings, and there were more people outside the city than in the city, but this did not prevent the center of the city from still being a bustling commercial place, because the government Institutions are in the city, as long as they are there, they will naturally become prosperous places.

There are people coming and going on the streets in the city. Because of the New Year, many households have painted couplets, hung up lanterns, cars are coming and going, and restaurants and tea shops are very busy.

Along the way, there are signs on the shops of grain, oil, eggs, meat, salt, etc., with the prices of the day written on them.

For example, eggs are bought for every ten eggs, and ten eggs cost four yuan and five yuan; pork is five yuan and four yuan per catty, and so on. They can only earn a few cents, and those who can buy meat and eggs are only a few people.

The prices on these signs are the current prices, and the prices will rise as the New Year's Eve gets closer.

When he started shopping, Li Chong was also surprised by this way of shop listing and negotiating prices once a day, especially when he saw a street meat stall listing pork at five yuan and four a catty, his face was full of complaints.

When I graduated from the Central Military Academy in Tongling, I could eat five or six dishes in a restaurant for five yuan. Why can I only buy ten eggs or a catty of pork that is not the best?
So far, Li Chong is too lazy to complain about the price.

The depreciation of the legal currency has been expected. Under the one-day price negotiation in Chongqing City, the only comfort for people is that the legal currency can still be circulated.

"Brother, Sugar!"

Younger sister Yuanxiu took Li Chong's hand and stopped walking in front of a sugar store.

There are a lot of people in the sugar store. When it comes to the Chinese New Year, those who are still economically able will buy some white sugar here, store it in jars, or hang it on the roof beams, and wait for the special days of the year to buy some. Come out and feel the sweet taste.

In this way, it is considered a luxury. More people will not taste the taste of sugar all year round. Perhaps only when they have children, they will buy a little bit of brown sugar back to replenish their deficient bodies.

Of course, what the little girl who has always lived in good conditions is not white sugar, but the milk sugar produced in this old shop.

This kind of recreational food, only people with affluent lives will be willing to buy these things for their children.

Inside the sugar store, there are candy stalls, and because of the Chinese New Year coming soon, there are various kinds of them.

There is a blackboard hanging in the sugar store, with four characters "Today's sugar price" written on it.

"Hey, you two, what kind of candy do you want?"

The shopkeeper of the sugar store had very sharp eyes. The two people who came into the store were naked and well-dressed. They looked like rich people at first glance, so they took the initiative to come forward to entertain them very enthusiastically.

The third sister, Li Yuanxiu, was far below the height of the booth, so Li Chong picked her up.

Li Chong twirled the various fruit plates with his fingers, "Take a little of each."

"okay!"

The person in charge deliberately took out a cloth bag. Li Chong stretched out his hand into the fruit plate, grabbed a handful of each and put them into the weighing tray. The children are very envious.

"Brother, grab the milk candy! I want milk candy!"

The third sister, Li Yuanxiu, seemed not very interested in other kinds of candies, and kept staring at the tray with leftover milk candies.

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper at the side came up and grabbed a small handful of milk candies, and put them in Li Yuanxiu's pocket, which was picked up by Li Chong.

At the same time, he said, "Give it away, this is for children to eat casually."

Just kidding, the customer in front of me has a handful of everything. After this round, I have earned at least 30 yuan more, and it is a fart to give away a small handful of candy.

The shopkeeper's small abacus was crackling, "It's 50 yuan in total."

Li Chong carried it in his hand, which was quite heavy.He knew that although the family was not short of money, his father was a money-saver from the beginning. In the past, in his hometown, he had to think about it for a long time to buy a pocket watch for vanity. Now, although he also buys snacks for his second brother and third sister, it is definitely not the case. He spends money recklessly, so Li Chong buys as much as he can at a time.What's more, there is not only a little sister and a child in the family, but the daughter of the housekeeper, Uncle Xiaotong, is also greedy.

Li Chong didn't have legal currency on him, he only brought silver dollars, so he asked, "How much are the silver dollars?"

"Ten silver dollars."

The shopkeeper was even happier when he heard that the other party wanted to pay in ocean.
