Reborn in the red age

Chapter 17 A Trip to the Black Market
When Father Li and Mother Li reacted, they had the same weird expression on their faces as Qingfeng Li, staring at him with unusual eyes.

The second sister, Li Youmei, was the most impatient. She glanced around and saw that no one was saying anything, so she took the lead and spoke: "Boss, you didn't give Sister Lili some ecstasy soup, did you?"

"What nonsense? Lily's family bought four big items when we got married, but when Lily and her brother got married, her brother asked me and Lily to pay for the four big items." Seeing that his family had misunderstood, Li Qingsong quickly explained.

Hearing that it was a temporary loan, Li's mother clapped her hands happily, saying that when Lili's brother gets married, they won't have to pay for the four major items, and Li's father and Li's mother will cover them all.

Next, Mother Li didn't urge everyone to go back to the house to sleep. Instead, she took the luxury of turning on the lights in the main room and called the whole family back to the main room to sit at the table to discuss Li Qingsong's marriage.

Without the financial worries, Mother Li was very excited and happily made preparations for the wedding. Except for Li Qingfeng who went to the countryside on weekends, no one in the Li family escaped from Mother Li's arrangements.

The discussion lasted until midnight before Mother Li let everyone go back to sleep.

Back in the room, Li Qingfeng glanced at his eldest brother up and down, thinking in his heart that this eldest brother was not handsome at all, how could he be so obsessed with his partner.

"No, what are you looking at me for? I don't have any flowers on my face."

"I was wondering if you, Mr. Li, have some unknown means to trick a good-looking girl from a family into making a big fuss at home. Or is it that the girl is blind and her life or death is at stake? Have you fallen in love with Boss Li?"

Before he finished speaking, a pillow flew towards him. Fortunately, Qingfeng Li reacted quickly and turned his head to avoid the flying buckwheat pillow.

They just escaped from the pillow, but not from Boss Li's grasp. The two of them fought in a ball on the bed, and it ended with Qingfeng Li bowing his head in submission.

After the fight was over, the two brothers each had a cigarette, each lying on their own bed, chatting and puffing away at the same time.

After smoking a cigarette, Li Qingsong hesitated, put his hand into the pillow, and fumbled for a small cloth bag inside the buckwheat pillow. After rubbing the small cloth bag with some reluctance, he gritted his teeth and felt heartbroken. He threw the bag to Qingfeng Li.

"What is this?" Being startled by something suddenly thrown on his head, Qingfeng Li quickly got up from the bed and took advantage of the moonlight to see what object had fallen on his head.

Just when Li Qingfeng was about to open it and take a look, Li Qingsong's resentful voice came from the bed opposite: "I'm taking advantage of you, kid. This is the savings I have saved over the years. I would spend this money even if I went out to eat with my partner." money inside”

After listening to Boss Li's words, Qingfeng Li got out of bed and turned on the light bulbs in the room, preparing to count how much money Boss Li had accumulated over the years.

"What lights are you turning on? If my mother sees the lights in our house turning on, she will definitely scold her again."

"It's okay. I'll bear the blame if you get scolded. I just want to count how much money you have saved over the years."

"Stop counting, the total is 16 yuan and 15 cents. The [-] yuan in it is the allowance I saved in the army. In the past two years since I retired, I have added a total of [-] yuan and [-] cents to it." When Qingfeng Li opened the bag , after pouring out all the money inside, seeing that except for a big unity ticket and a five-yuan ticket, the rest were scattered mao tickets and sub-tickets. Li Qingfeng showed pity to Boss Li. Eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. Do you think it's easy for me to save this little money? With my mother's brains, do you think it's easy for me to save one dollar and forty-eight cents from my mother's exploitation?"

Qingfeng Li couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Mother Li's precise distribution of the Li family's income, which was as precise as a computer. She really calculated every cent. Boss Li could still save one dollar and fifty cents after having a girlfriend. That's really money that was taken out of your teeth.

Seeing that his brother was still staring at the money, Li Qingsong reluctantly took his eyes away from his savings and said angrily: "Okay, turn off the lights and go to bed. It's too late. You can take this money." Don't spend it randomly when you get to the countryside. Use it at a critical moment. Don't waste your brother's hard-earned money."

"Don't worry, it won't be wasted. This money will definitely be spent on serious things." After saying that, he got out of bed, turned off the lights in the room and got ready to sleep.

Qingfeng Li did not put the money bag into the space. Instead, he happily put the money under the pillow. This was the deep brotherly love that Boss Li had for him. How could he feel this brotherly love when he put it in the space? .

Late at night, after Boss Li's snoring sounded, Qingfeng Li suddenly opened his eyes, rolled over and got out of bed, put on his clothes quietly, opened the door gently, and quickly ran out of the Li house without anyone noticing. courtyard.

He came to a hidden street on the outskirts of the city, took out a hood to cover his face, and ducked into a hidden alley.

After paying a dime for the protection fee, Li Qingfeng went in and started preparations before going to the countryside.

When I came to the black market this time, I had no intention of setting up a stall to sell anything. My warehouse was filled with all kinds of food, all for myself to use when going to the countryside. Qingfeng Li had already emptied items such as defective cloth.

Today's purpose is very clear. Li Qingfeng wants to purchase some canned and other cooked food on the black market. It's not that he doesn't want fresh meat, but the conditions don't allow it. The educated youth who go to the countryside live in small courtyards for educated youth, and everyone lives in one When eating in a pot, it is inconvenient to take out the fresh meat in the space, so you can only buy some canned and other cooked food as a meal.

Qingfeng Li wandered around the black market and didn't find any canned food he needed. He just bought two baskets of eggs and prepared to cook them at home and put them in the space, so that he could supplement protein at any time when he went to the countryside.

Just when Qingfeng Li was about to return disappointed, he was stopped by a ticket seller: "Brother, why don't you set up a stall today?"

Qingfeng Li is famous in the black market for imitating the kidnapper's hoods made by later generations. Most of the veterans know him. What's more, two days ago, he wiped out all the national food stamps in the county. As soon as Li Qingfeng came in, he was caught in front of his eyes. I noticed the ticket seller. Seeing that he didn't set up a stall today, the ticket seller wanted to get close to him.

Seeing the ticket seller approaching, Li Qingfeng's eyes immediately lit up. How could he have forgotten this group of black market brokers? He quickly whispered: "I don't have any goods now. I want to buy a batch of canned meat or dried meat, braised pork or something like that." Do you have any channels for food?"

"Hey, what a coincidence, I actually have a canned channel in my hand."
