Chapter 15
Looking at the long line in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, they all came to buy the in-demand items, "Oh! There are so many people, it's rare to supply fish and peanuts and melon seeds today. Is it our turn to have more?"

"No matter how much there are, let's line up first. The Chinese New Year will be in [-] days. If we can't line up today, we will definitely supply again after a while."

"Yes, the country will not let us have nothing to celebrate the New Year."

"hope so"

Xi Luo listened to their discussion, and knew that fish and peanuts and melon seeds were available today, and she wanted to buy them too, but seeing so many people queuing up, and waiting until she might be gone, wouldn't she be wasting her time in vain.

Think about it or forget it, and wait to come and queue up earlier next time.

Ask the people around you what supplies are available recently, and prepare to come and line up to buy them early in the future, "Ma'am, what are the supplies supplied every day?"

The aunt looked at Xi Luo's beauty. Although the clothes were not very good, she guessed that the girl must have dressed like this on purpose. After all, it is dangerous to be good-looking in this age. She was happy to answer her, "Girl, these supplies were notified a few days in advance, and there are very few of them. If you want to buy them, line up early. It's too late to line up now."

"Oh, thank you, ma'am, what will be supplied in the next few days, is there any notice?"

"No, this year is not good, and the supplies are much less than in previous years. I don't know how to live this year."

After Xi Luo finished asking, she bid farewell to the aunt, and planned to take a casual walk, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative at noon. It will be lunch time, and there should not be many people.

Walking and stopping along the way, I saw that the businesses were all state-owned units, and there was nothing to go shopping. Passing the alleys at the intersection, I saw people buying and selling things secretly, and felt like a black market here.

Immediately, she took off the scarf around her neck and covered her face, leaving only a pair of eyes outside. She planned to go and have a look. After selling wild game in the black market in her hometown, she had tasted the sweetness and never forgot about the black market.

Now I know that there is a black market in this town, how can I miss it, there is nothing to sell, and it is good to gain knowledge.

After walking around, I sighed, "Oh dear,"

I saw a thin old man in the corner selling his own stone to passers-by, "This is my ancestral stone, and I wouldn't have sold it if my family hadn't been able to survive."

"Who are you kidding? You sell five yuan for a broken stone. I'm not stupid, so I won't buy this thing."

Xi Luo stepped forward and saw that what the old man was holding was a colorful stone, "It looks good, but what's the use, it's a waste to buy it, and there's no food, so I wouldn't buy it .”

The old man and the young man opposite him were still entangled, "You old man is sick, I said no to buy it, why are you still pestering me?"

"This stone is really inherited from my family, you should buy it, young man."

"If you don't buy it, you still force me to buy it."

The people around were all surprised, "This old man has been selling stones here recently, and he won't let anyone who wears them well."

"What's the matter? He dares to sell it if he doesn't buy it?"

"Yesterday he encountered a hard stubble, and he was beaten up straight away. Didn't you see that there were still injuries on his face? Today, this young man has a good temper. If someone else had already started beating him."

"No, let's leave now.
"Yes, let's go now."

Several people left in a hurry, fearing that their noise would attract people.

The young man who was entangled by the old man was also angry. He shook the stone away from the old man's hand with a flick of his hand, and then left cursing.

Xi Luo stood aside, saw the stone rolling towards her, didn't care, and was about to leave.

The old man saw that the head that fell on the ground suddenly disappeared, and seeing that Xi Luo was the closest to the place where the stone disappeared, he immediately called her to stop, "Hey, girl, how can you pick up my stone?"

"When did I pick up your rock?" Xi Luo was puzzled.

"I saw that the stone was missing at your feet. It wasn't you who picked it up, who picked it up?"

"I picked up stones? Which eye of yours saw it? Did I pick it up with my left hand or my right hand? Why didn't I know that I could still pick up stones while standing?"

When the old man was asked this question, he felt in his heart, "This stone may have rolled into the cracks in the ground, but since I have already said that the stone was picked up by this girl, I can't change my words. Anyway, no one bought this stone. Today If you can't sell the house, you will be hungry, and now it can only be considered that this girl is unlucky."

"I don't care. If the stone disappears in front of you, you have to compensate Xi Luo. Now I understand that I have been blackmailed. I have seen Pengci in my previous life, but I didn't expect there to be Pengci in this era. The difference is People extort money with their own bodies, and this old man extorts money with a stone, his heart is dark enough.

"Why did you disappear in front of me? I have to pay. I didn't even touch your stone. You old man blackmailed me."

"I don't care, you have to pay."

The people on the side saw it, "Hurry up and solve it."

"That's right, you old man is really serious. If you take a broken stone as a whole, if you get someone, you will let someone buy it. Now it's a girl who is easy to bully, right? If you hurt us today, I will beat you once in the future. "

"That's right, why do you still do such immoral things at such an advanced age?"

The old man was frightened by everyone's words, "My family is about to run out of food, and I'm counting on me to sell the stones to get the food back. If I let this girl go, my family will not be hungry."

"I said, you old man, why are you so wicked? The stone rolled away by itself, and the girl stood aside and didn't move. You are not blackmailing other girls, what are you doing?"

"Okay, hurry up and leave."

Everyone dispersed immediately, "Look, girl, if you give me a little money, I can't help it. Really girl, please do me a favor, my family is really going to run out of food."

Seeing that his tone softened, Xi Luo said, "Okay, even if I'm unlucky today, it's also considered a good deed. This is ten yuan, here you are, and don't let me see you again."

"Okay, girl, thank you. After finishing speaking, the old man ran away first.

After hearing this, Xi Luo was not so angry anymore.He thought he had to leave here immediately, otherwise he would be caught, and it would be bad if Gu Chaosheng got hurt.

When I walked to the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw that there were not many people shopping at the door, and I was going to buy some things to go home. I bought more this time. When I walked to the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw that there were few people shopping at the door. Buy some, and try not to come to town in the future.
