Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 13, private goods (seeking investment, seeking further reading)
  It's all busy outside, but under the weak moonlight, you can still see some roads, which doesn't hinder your walking.

Approaching Wang Laoxi's yard, Wang Qingsong subconsciously slowed down.

Looking at the place where he had just hidden his things, he felt a little uneasy and chose to take a detour. He was really scared.

But then he thought of another question.

That was whether the egg was broken when he threw something just now.

What if it breaks?

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you scared?"

Xiaomai watched her brother pulling her around and smiled with her lips pursed.

In fact, she was also afraid of that house.

After all, I heard too many legends about this house when I was a kid.

These words made Wang Qingsong blush: "Nonsense, can I be afraid of your brother? Have you forgotten my nickname? I have even been in this house!"

"Hehe, brother, I know, Wang is so bold!"

Xiaomai smiled, showing his missing front teeth.

Wang Qingsong took her around and went to Widow Feng's house.

"Xiao Zao!"

After shouting a few times, I saw the lights turn on in the room, and soon Xiaozao came out wearing a cotton jacket.

"Sister Xiaozao!"

As soon as he opened the door, Xiaomai shouted with a smile.

"Well, come on in, it's cold outside."

Xiaozao responded with a smile and hurriedly urged several people into the house.

Several people just entered the room.

"Aunt (aunt)~"

After coming in, Wang Qingsong and Mai Xiao greeted Widow Feng who was lying on the bed.

Widow Feng nodded and patted the kang: "Okay, put your things down and go to sleep. Let's talk about what happened tomorrow. There is hot water next to the stove, wash it up and go to sleep. Xiaozao, go get it for them."

"Hey, good!"

When Xiaozao heard this, he turned around and went out.

Wang Qingsong saw this and put the things on the kang.

The large kang is three meters long and two meters wide. It can sleep seven or eight people without any problem. Naturally, four people will not be crowded at all.

Put down the quilt at the end of the kang and put other things beside it.

Then he said to Widow Feng: "Auntie, I'm going to get something and I'll be back in a minute."

"Why are you out so late?"

"I brought something back from school and left it outside. I'm going to get it now. I'll be back in a minute."

When my father was here, there was always a shortage of food at home. He would bring back dried steamed buns and corn steamed buns from school every week.

When school started half a year ago, the city reduced its rations.

Everyone has had their rations reduced, except for students, children, and the elderly.

But he also made excuses saying it was reduced.

Naturally, what I brought back was much less.

Anyway, there is no middle school in the commune, so no one knows.

These grains were all he planned to bring back for his little sister to eat secretly.

Now it comes in handy.

Widow Feng didn't know what it was, so she just nodded: "Okay, go ahead and pay attention to yourself."

"Okay, I'll go now, Mai, stay here and be obedient!"

After giving the explanation, he went out.

After coming out, walk towards the village head.

Normally, he wouldn't be able to see it at all.

He has "blindfolded eyes", and at night he is basically as blind as a blind man.

Fortunately, the snow can still reflect some white light, and the blurry road can be vaguely seen.

Fortunately, he was very familiar with the village.

Widow Feng's home was not far from the village head. She groped in the dark and avoided the patrolling militiamen, and came to the place where things were hidden at the village head.

When I came to the place and looked around, I dug up the snow and revealed a dough bag.

Open it and take a look. There are a lot of gray steamed buns, corn flour steamed buns, and some black lumps inside.

Students are given a ration of fine grains, about three to four kilograms a month.

Seeing that there was nothing missing, he smiled.

He picked up his things and left.

There’s a lot of stuff! It weighs about twenty kilograms. This is the result of half a year of saving. He has no choice but to eat at school, otherwise he will not be able to study.

Carrying the things back, I passed by Wang Laoxi's haunted house.

He hesitated for a while.

That's noodles, and the more precious eggs.

Was it just lost like that?

It hurts to think about it.

Thinking about it, wouldn’t it be okay if I ate it before?
  took it.

He gritted his teeth and walked directly over there.

I dug through the snow and opened the plastic bags.

When he saw the eight eggs lying there quietly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As for why the egg didn't break, it was because it was wrapped in a strange box outside, which looked a bit like plastic.

Try to open it.

But I don't know how to open it.

After holding it for a long time, I finally figured out how to open it, and almost threw the eggs out.

There are grooves inside. Count them. There are ten in total, and two of them are empty.

Looking at these things, he thought about it.

Where to put this thing is the question.

The noodles are susceptible to moisture, so they must not be buried in the snow for too long. It would be too dangerous to take them back to Widow Feng's house.

At this time, he didn't want to use this to test human nature.

After hesitating for a while, he finally looked at the "haunted house" not far away.

When he came to the haunted house, he swallowed, entered the courtyard and listened quietly.

No movement.

He didn't dare to enter the house, but came to the yard and quietly hid the things not far away.

Because he is still hesitating whether to bring this thing into the city tomorrow.

He hid the things and took out an egg.

Then he hesitated, gritted his teeth, and took out another egg.

Can't bear children and can't bear wolves.

Give one to Xiao Zao, hoping that Widow Feng will treat her sister better.

As for Sun Xiuhe, he didn't know how to feed him, but he felt that it was a natural thing.

family!
  One sentence will suffice.

As for the rest, we will take them to the city to see when the time comes.

You must know that eggs are now as expensive as meat in the city.

After all, it is no longer like the sixty-seven cents per pound when there were rations in the past.

There is nothing to sell in the vegetable market. Meat in the black market costs one yuan or two, and eggs are not much better. The minimum is one yuan each. If you can find a rich family who is eager to buy them, you can sell them at a higher price.

After doing it, he went back quietly.

When he came back, Mai was already lying on the kang, sleeping next to Xiao Zao. The two slept in the middle, and Widow Feng slept at the head of the kang.

"elder brother!"

As soon as he came back, Mai called out to him.

Wang Qingsong put the things in the room and did not open them.

He smiled and replied: "Go to sleep, you'll have to wake up early tomorrow! Auntie, you guys should go to sleep too. I'll go to bed after washing."

The latter words were naturally directed at Widow Feng.

Widow Feng nodded, "It's okay. You can go to bed quickly after washing."

Wang Qingsong nodded, washed himself, poured out the water, then came to the end of the kang, took off his coat and climbed onto the kang.

Got into bed.

He shared a bed with Mai Xiao, and Widow Feng shared a bed with Xiao Zao.

Blowing out the kerosene lamp, the room suddenly fell into darkness.

"Brother, let me warm you up."

Mai hugged his cold arm and said something to him.

Wang Qingsong had just come back from outside. His whole body was cold and he didn't want to freeze his sister.

But after several attempts, he couldn't pull it out, so he just let her hold him.

She usually goes to bed very early, but today she went to bed late. She was already a little sleepy, so she leaned against him and hugged his arm and fell asleep.
