Wearing the shopping mall through the 70s

Chapter 17 One bite and one tooth mark

After buying toothbrushes and tooth powder, Shen Ruoqing felt that there was nothing to buy, mainly because most things were available in the system mall.However, I still sorted out some bills that were about to expire and made purchases in one go.

As I walked back, I passed by the scrap station.Shen Ruoqing just wanted to go to the scrap station to find something.

"Uncle, I want to go in and find some old newspapers to put on the wall. Is it convenient for you?" Shen Ruoqing pretended to take out an apple from his pocket, but he actually bought it from the system mall.

"Oh, little girl, go in and look for them. They are all in the pile." After the uncle saw the apples, his eyes lit up and he asked Shen Ruoqing to look for them very politely.

"Old newspapers cost five cents a pound, so you can read them as you like."

Shen Ruoqing searched in the scrap pile alone.

She turned on the detection function and gave the order to detect valuables.

Soon, there was a reaction.

“Drip—Rosewood detected.”

"Dip - Pear tree detected."

……

Shen Ruoqing changed from happy to disappointed.The items detected are either too big to take away, or they are broken into pieces and have no value at all.

"Dip - small yellow croaker detected."

Little yellow croaker?Shen Ruoqing was surprised and happy, finally it was not in vain!

It turns out that this is a black wooden box with a mezzanine inside, and there are two small yellow croakers in the mezzanine!

The wooden box was not big, so Shen Ruoqing directly put the black wooden box into the space.It looked like who was hiding here. Unexpectedly, the box was taken away together with it, and ended up in the scrapyard. But in the end, she was given an advantage.

After collecting the small yellow croaker, Shen Ruoqing picked up some old newspapers and books, calculated the money and left the scrap station.

The bullock cart going back to the village had already gone back. Shen Ruoqing didn't want to strain his legs and see no one around. He bought a bicycle in the system mall and rode it back directly. He wore it again while riding the bicycle. Wear a hat and a mask to help others recognize you when you meet pedestrians on the road.When we almost arrived at Big Stone Village, we put all our things in our carry-on space and walked back with a bamboo basket on my back.

"Mom, I'm back."

Mrs. Ji is not here at the moment and has gone to work.Mrs. Wang was at home. Seeing the full bamboo basket Shen Ruoqing was carrying, she couldn't help but ask, "What's in here?"

Shen Ruoqing had no good impression of the Wang family and said, "What's inside is none of your business. Isn't my mother at home?"

Wang curled her lips and did not respond to her words.

Shen Ruoqing carried the bamboo basket to Mrs. Ji's house and locked it. (Old Mrs. Ji's house is usually locked, but Shen Ruoqing has the key.)
"Are you guarding against thieves?" Ms. Wang was very unhappy and muttered, "The fourth child probably gave me the things. The family hasn't been separated yet, so I should have a share of those things. I don't care if I don't give them to you. You’re still locking me up, who am I marrying into?”

"What did the second sister-in-law say? Shouldn't Mom keep all the things in the house? Is there any problem with putting them in Mom's house? Besides, I got these back from the county, and I can do with them how I want. Dispose of it. Isn’t it possible that my sister-in-law still wants to covet this thing from me? "

After Shen Ruoqing finished speaking, she ignored Wang with a colorful face and went straight out to find her mother.

Just as they were leaving, Mrs. Ji and Shen Xiangdong came back. "Mom! I brought you something good!" Shen Ruoqing stepped forward and held Mrs. Ji's arm affectionately.

"You're back? What good things can you bring? From my second brother's house, steam two more egg custards tonight." Mrs. Ji ordered and was pulled into the house by Shen Ruoqing.

"My dear, why are there so many things?"

Mrs. Ji saw the full bamboo basket at a glance. She opened it and took a look. Oh dear, there is rice, flour, oil, pork, sugar, cloth and soap!

Mrs. Ji's expression suddenly became serious: "Baby, where did you get these things?" If Shen Xiangbei got these good things, she wouldn't even believe it to death.

Shen Ruoqing was still smiling: "Mom, listen to me first. I met an old lady in the city. She fainted on the roadside and no one dared to take care of her. So I carried the old lady to the hospital. I didn't think about the old lady. My son works in the black market, and these things were given to me by the old lady’s son as a thank you gift. The old lady’s son also said that he would recognize me as his godmother!”

Shen Ruoqing opened her mouth and came because Mrs. Ji was too trusting and had no doubt at all!
"My dear, that person is in the black market, we'd better not have anything to do with her." After so many things, Mrs. Ji didn't get carried away by the joy. After calming down, Mrs. Ji spoke to Shen Ruoqing earnestly.

"We don't go to the black market. These things are gifts given to me by others. Besides, we just pretend we don't know what they do. What kind of year is this year? If I get a relative like this, I won't be afraid of hunger. People are dead. With this method, we can purchase all kinds of food and items at low prices! Mom, do you really think this year’s summer harvest can last until the autumn harvest?"

Mrs. Ji also knows how the fields produce, and this year seems to be more difficult than last year.

"Hey!" As Mrs. Ji sighed, Shen Ruoqing knew that this was Mrs. Ji's acquiescence.

"Mom, this meat can't be stored. Can we eat it today? I want to eat the braised pork that mom made. And this oil can't be stored. It can only be stored for three months. You have to eat it as soon as possible, Mom. Don’t be reluctant to use it. There is also this toothbrush and tooth powder. I bought one for everyone in our family. After dinner, Mom, please pass it on..."

"By the way, especially this piece of cloth, I specially asked for it for mom. Then you can make yourself two sets of clothes."

"At this age, I still need to make clothes and use this piece of cloth. I will make you two new clothes to wear."

"The color of this cloth is so old-fashioned, I don't want it! I just came here to make clothes for you. If you don't make them for me, I won't wear them if you make them!"

"Didn't you always want a bragi? This piece of cloth is perfect for making a bragi for you, but the color is too rustic? I think it's pretty good."

"Hey! I told you to honor your mother, just give it to me, don't make it for me. Even if you make it, I won't wear it. I will make it when there is more colorful cloth."

"Stop talking about this, Mom, what do you think this is?"

Shen Ruoqing took out the black wooden box.

"I found this at a scrapyard."

Mrs. Ji opened the wooden box and closed it again: "Isn't it just a wooden box? It's nothing special."

"Look, there is a mezzanine here." Shen Ruoqing opened the mezzanine with a snap, revealing two golden small yellow croakers.

!!!

"Is this fake?" Mrs. Ji took a small yellow croaker and took a bite, leaving a tooth mark with each bite!
"You have to put this thing away. Mom will help you put it away and make it your dowry later!"

"No, Mom, I think it's better to exchange this for food. I can give this to my godbrother in exchange for a lot of food."
