Chapter 200 Buy, buy, buy

"Many people in the village say that my grandparents are prodigal sons because so many fields have been lost."

"I didn't expect that later on, our family still had five acres of land, so we were determined to be poor farmers." Qiao Mu guarded the corners of his lips and couldn't help but curl up.

Susie laughed and said, "It's a blessing in disguise."

Qiao Mu said no more and looked up at the sky.

The two stood in the yard for a while, then went out and locked the yard door.

After walking not far, we met an old man head-on.

The uncle stared at Qiao Mu for a long time, and suddenly realized: "You, you, you, are you that, are you the grandson of the old Qiao family?"

Qiao Mu nodded to the old man.

The uncle looked at the old house of the Qiao family and said, "What are you doing here? Isn't your house unoccupied?"

Qiao Mu said: "I'm going to Guangxi Province to join the queue. This trip may take several years. I'll come home and have a look."

"Jumping in line?" the old man asked in surprise, "Going to the countryside to jump in line?"

"Hey, you finally became a city dweller, why do you want to go back to the countryside?"

Qiao Mu made no sound.

The uncle asked again: "I heard that your father was imprisoned. How is he doing now?"

Qiao Mu was silent for a moment, "It's still closed."

The uncle shook his head and said, "Your dad is a good man, I know that."

"This must be a mistake."

He said to Qiao Mu enthusiastically: "Let's go and sit at uncle's house. I haven't seen you Qiao family for a long time."

Qiao Mu said politely: "Uncle, we still have something to do, so we won't go. I'll see you next time."

The uncle glanced at Su Qian, then saw the two holding hands, and smiled, "Is this your little wife?"

Susie's face turned red.

Qiao Mu was no better than her, and said with a red face: "Well, it's not yet."

"That'll be quick." The uncle understood very well.

He said with a smile: "When you do things in the future, don't forget to treat us fellow villagers to a banquet."

Qiao Mu agreed and quickly took Susie away.

The two of them took a car back to the city.

On the way, Susie told Qiao Mu that she wanted US dollars because she wanted to go to the overseas Chinese store to buy something. Qiao Mu nodded, "I guess so."

The two of them arrived at the entrance of the Overseas Chinese Store. The man who was exchanging foreign currency yesterday saw Susie's eyes light up. He was very impressed by how beautiful this little girl was.

He walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Little girl, have you still not found a way to exchange foreign exchange?"

"I told you a long time ago that you can't exchange it with the bank!"

"How about? How about we go to the alley over there?"

Susie waved her hand towards him, "No need."

She dragged Qiao Mu into the store, and as soon as she entered the door, she went straight to the place where the revolving bottles were placed.

Seeing that the revolving bottle was still there, Susie breathed a sigh of relief and said without any delay: "I want this bottle, along with the small yellow-glazed bowl over there."

The salesperson slowly raised her eyelids to look at Susie, then picked up her pen and wrote the invoice slowly.

The salespersons in overseas Chinese stores have all seen big events. They have received visiting foreign heads of state, and they don't take this small business to heart at all.

After issuing the ticket, Qiao Mu went to pay. The salesperson put the revolving bottle into a brocade box, and then put it in a special nylon bag.

Qiao Mu then took Su Qian to the place where TV sets were sold, "I'll buy you a TV set. We'll probably have electricity in the production team this time. Buy a TV set and you can relieve your boredom at night."

Susie waved her hand, "No need."

Qiao Mu said: "Why don't you use it? There is nothing to do in the collective house as soon as it gets dark. It would be great to watch TV."

"Besides, you don't need industrial coupons to buy a TV set with foreign currency here."

Su Qian shook her head, "I don't know how many TV sets there are in the whole Sibei County. If we move such a thing back, then the members of the production team will have to go to the collective households to watch TV every day?"

"Then there will be no quiet days at all."

Qiao Mu thought about it and turned his attention to the radio again.

Susie pulled his arm and said, "No, I don't like hearing this."

Qiao Mu looked around, wanting to buy something good for Susie.

Susie knew what he was thinking and whispered: "I really don't want it anymore. You bought me two such expensive things. That's enough."

Qiao Mu didn't say anything, but pulled her to the side where the food was sold. He pointed at the Jinhua hams on the counter, "I want three of these, let me invoice."

Susie looked at the price. The ham was weighed by the pound. One piece cost two dollars per pound. One ham cost almost ten dollars. Even if calculated according to the bank exchange rate, it would cost about twenty dollars. Three of them would cost sixty dollars!

According to the black market price, it is even more expensive.

She felt a little hurt when she saw it, "Why did you buy so many?"

Qiao Mu said softly: "Let's eat one for the Chinese New Year, give one to Uncle Liao, and take the other one to your grandma."

He knew that Susie went out to make money with Uncle Liao, and he also knew that grandma was very kind to Susie and that Susie liked grandma very much.

He was also willing to be kind to people who were kind to Susie.

Susie's eyes were a little wet, and she didn't know why she was so moved.

When those men kneeled in front of her holding diamonds in their hands, there was no fluctuation in her heart.

She looked up at him slightly and nodded.

Qiao Mu also looked down at her and held her hand tightly.

The hams were very heavy, weighing eight or nine kilograms each. Qiao Mu refused to let Su Qian carry them, so he carried the revolving bottle in one hand and three hams on his shoulders.

Qiao Mu also wanted to buy something for Su Qi, but Su Qi quickly pulled him out.

The two came out of the store. The man who was exchanging foreign exchange couldn't believe it when he saw what Qiao Mu had in his hand. He walked over and asked in a low voice, "Little girl, didn't you still have foreign exchange yesterday? Where did you change it? What?"

price?"

Susie shook her head at him and said nothing.

The man chased the two of them, "Hey, little girl, do you have any connections? If you have a lot of foreign exchange, can you exchange it for me?"

Susie still said nothing and pulled Qiao Mu to leave, but Qiao Mu stopped and asked, "How to change?"

The man whispered: "It depends on which one it is. If you change it to U.S. dollars, I'll give you four dollars for one dollar."

Susie looked at him, "Didn't you exchange five dollars for one dollar yesterday? Why did it change today?"

The man chuckled and said, "Girl, what I earn is the difference of one dollar. I will give you five dollars, so what can I eat and drink?"

Susie pulled Qiao Mu aside and asked in a low voice, "You want to exchange all the remaining US dollars?"

Qiao Mu took out a thousand dollars and spent 180 dollars on porcelain and more than 29 dollars on ham. He still had more than 700 dollars left, which could be exchanged for a lot of money.

Qiao Mu looked down at Susie and said, "I want to change."

He didn't have much money in his hand, and sometimes he wanted to buy something for Susie. He thought that with more money, Susie could eat better.

And his status is a bit special. He took the money to the bank to exchange it, and he was worried that someone would check him. If it was found that his mother had defected overseas, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, you can only exchange it on the black market.
