Chapter 16 Helping others
The large gatherings in Shigang Commune are usually held on the 3rd, 6th, and 9th of each month in the lunar calendar, such as the third, sixth, and ninth days of the lunar month.
The market days of several communes around them are different. For example, in the two communes next door, one has the market on the 2nd, 5th, and 8th, and the other has the market on the 1st, 4th, and 7th.
The market days of several communes at different times not only allow everyone to go to each other's markets to join in the fun, but also promote the circulation of goods in several surrounding communes.
Going to the market in groups is the favorite and happiest thing for people in this era.
Jun Ning arrived at the main entrance of Shigang Commune, and what he saw was a dense crowd of people.
She walked around the market and found that most of the products sold were home-produced vegetables and eggs, as well as baskets, stools and other handicrafts. There was also a shop selling pancakes.
As she walked, she also found a skinny old man and a young man selling firewood.
Jun Ning saw that the old man's hands and feet were shaking from hunger, and the child kept licking his chapped mouth.
She couldn't bear it, so she stepped forward and asked, "Old man, how do you sell this firewood?"
As soon as the old man saw someone coming to ask, he immediately replied with a smile: "Sister, if you want it, I'll give you ten cents per bundle."
Such a big bundle of firewood costs only a dime per bundle?
Jun Ning lamented that the current labor force is really cheap.
Seeing that the old man only had six bundles of firewood and a wooden wheelbarrow behind him, she said to him: "Old man, I bought them all. Can you help me take them to that intersection?"
The old man nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes."
The original owner was generous to others, leaving her with nothing.
Jun Ning doesn’t have much money or tickets left on hand now.
She took out 60 cents and handed it to the old man.
After the transaction was completed, the old man seemed to have gained strength. He quickly put the six bundles of firewood on the wheelbarrow, called his grandson, and delivered the goods to Junning.
There was also someone selling firewood nearby. When he saw that the old man had sold out, he quickly shouted to Jun Ning, "Hey, sister, I also have firewood for sale here. Just eight cents a bundle."
Jun Ning ignored him and led the old man and the little boy away.
When they reached the intersection, Junning used the cover of her bag to take out six hot meat buns from the space and stuffed them into the old man and the little boy, "Old man, are you hungry? This big meat bun is mine. I just bought it for you and the kids."
The old man didn't want to take advantage of her, so he quickly refused, "No, no, you've already given me the money, and I shouldn't take your buns again."
Jun Ning smiled and said: "Old man, just take it. If you really mind, just give me a few bundles of firewood later. I am an educated youth from the Bailu Brigade. I rent a house by myself, and I don't know how to chop firewood." , I had to buy firewood to burn."
"oh oh…"
Jun Ning warned him again, "Old man, my name is Jun Ning. When you come to our brigade, ask the educated youth where Jun Ning lives. From now on, if you have any firewood, you can send it to me. I will collect it all."
The old man wiped his tears with gratitude and said, "Sister, you are such a good person, what a good person!"
Jun Ning forced the bun into his arms and said to him with a smile: "Old man, let the child eat the bun quickly. I think he is very hungry."
The little boy was very fond of Jun Ning who gave Baozi and the others food. When he heard what Jun Ning said, he immediately responded crisply: "Sister, I drank enough water in the past two days and ate some wild vegetables."
Jun Ning reached out and touched his head, and asked him with a smile, "What's your name? How old are you? Where are you from?"
The little boy quickly replied: "Sister, my name is Mo Haoran. My father said it is Haoran, a righteous Haoran. I am six years old this year, and I am also a member of the Bailu Brigade, but we are from Mojia Village."
Jun Ning searched the memory of the original owner and found out that the Egret Brigade was divided into seven groups. Liangjia Village where she is located is in the first group, and Mojia Village is in the fifth group. The two villages are not too far apart.
But the little boy said that he was six years old this year, but looking at his height, he looked like he was three or four years old. It was really pitiful.
In the last days, when the population is drastically reduced and the population is dying, there are fewer and fewer women and children, and the population continues to decrease every year.
In order to allow human beings to continue to reproduce, major bases have enacted legislation to protect women and children, and severely punish perpetrators who harm women and children.
Jun Ning was not married in the last days, but her protection and love for the cubs had penetrated deeply into her soul.
Now that she saw that Mo Haoran was so smart and cute, but so thin and his family situation was not good, she wanted to help him even more.
Old Mo Mo is Mo Haoran’s biological grandfather.
After they thanked Jun Ning profusely, they left with reluctance and joy.
Jun Ning was also a little moved when he saw Mo Haoran looking back three times with each step.
This child is a grateful person!
When Jun Ning saw that no one was around, he released his mental power to shield the surroundings and confirmed that it was safe. Then he put the firewood placed in the ground directly into the space.
When he returned to the market and passed by a stall selling baskets, Jun Ning took out rice and filled all the large and small baskets, baskets, backpacks, fish baskets, etc. on a stall.
The stall owner was very grateful. He didn't expect to meet a big customer today. Normally, they wouldn't be able to sell all the things they brought in for a day.
Jun Ning also asked him to help deliver these baskets and baskets to the intersection.
After the stall owner left, she set up a mental barrier to collect all these things into the space.
Jun Ning slipped into the space again and disguised herself as a very ordinary farm aunt in her thirties or forties.
With her superb makeup skills, her relatives and friends might not be able to recognize her when they stand in front of her.
She then found a masculine, 1.9-meter-tall intelligent robot from space and pretended to be her husband.
She put on clothes, gloves, a hat and a mask on the robot, revealing only a pair of dark eyes, which looked very imposing, mysterious and powerful.
Jun Ning had already walked around the market two or three times before, and found a suitable location to set up a stall for buying, selling and escaping.
She then took out the things she was going to sell from the space.
There are baskets of eggs, bags of rice, and pieces of chopped pork;
There are also packaged white sugar and brown sugar, baskets of big red apples, and small buckets of peanut oil and rapeseed oil.
She was driven to the main entrance in a dilapidated pickup truck without a license plate.
Even if these goods are not enough to sell by then, she can also use the carriage of a small truck to cover up and bring out more goods.
Jun Ning was secretly glad. Fortunately, her mental power could create a barrier and have a shielding function. Otherwise, it might not be easy to get in and out of space in such a crowded place.
As expected by Junning, these in-demand goods she brought immediately attracted the attention of countless people as soon as they appeared at the market entrance.
