Apart from nodding, Feng Qingxue did nothing else.

Because she understood Lu Jiang's concerns, she obeyed obediently.

Although the two of them had darkened faces, and their clothes were ordinary and patched, they were full of energy and looked like they were people with no shortage of food, especially Lu Jiang who had a backpack on his shoulders.

Therefore, as soon as they appeared on the edge of the black market, they were targeted.

A teenage boy ran faster than a rabbit and was in front of them in an instant. Although he was begging, he didn't look humble at all. "Can you sell me some grain? Whole grains will do, whole grains will do."

He was very knowledgeable and his voice was very low.

When Lu Jiang saw that he was dark and thin, skinny and skinny, and his clothes were in tatters, he couldn't help but feel sad. It can be seen that although the difficult period has passed for five or six years and the famine has been alleviated, he still has insufficient food and clothing. People are still everywhere.

"What did you buy?" Feng Qingxue's voice contained a hint of gentle joking.

The young man suddenly blushed and murmured: "Three dollars and twenty-five cents, I only have three dollars and twenty-five cents. I heard that coarse grains on the black market cost thirty cents a pound, and I was wondering if I could buy ten kilograms of coarse grains to tide me over. Difficulties."

Feng Qingxue thought for a moment and stuffed ten kilograms of food stamps into him, "Take these three and a half cents and go to the food store to buy them. It's more cost-effective than buying them on the black market."

The young man was stunned and trembled violently, "Food stamps..." They were military food stamps. They were flour stamps, which are fine grains.

The price of such food stamps on the black market is equal to the price of food.

The current price of coarse grains is 30 cents, and fine grains are 70 to 80 cents per catty. They fluctuate from time to time. When the situation is bad, they can be sold for one yuan per catty. Seven years ago, just one catty of fine grain stamps could be sold for five yuan. A hefty price of six bucks.

According to national regulations, ten pounds of grain stamps can be used to buy thirty or forty pounds of coarse grains at a grain store, because fine grains are too precious.

"Take it, go back quickly, don't stay here anymore. Tickets are not money, not food, and don't let us be labeled as speculators!" Feng Qingxue said gently. If you don't accept money, you are just showing kindness, and others can't catch it. If you get the handle, if you accept the boy's money, the meaning will be different. Tickets, industrial coupons and the like can be given away, and the transaction will be illegal.

"I can not……"

Feng Qingxue pulled Lu Jiang away, turned around and smiled, "Go home quickly. Children, don't wander around here."

The young man ran two steps and stood in front of them, "My name is Xing Yushan, and my brother's name is Xing Minshan. Uncle and aunt, what are your surnames? My brother and I will definitely repay you when we grow up. Please tell me."

"Xing Minshan?" Feng Qingxue blurted out.

"Do you know my brother?"

"I don't know you, or your brother, but I heard your brother's name a few years ago." A smile appeared on Feng Qingxue's face, "My son's name is Lu Tianmao, and his nickname is Xibao."

Xing Yushan immediately covered his mouth, "Xiao Xibao, Xiao Xibao who gave us steamed buns to eat!"

He held the food stamps with one hand and Feng Qingxue's hand with the other and couldn't help shaking it. He was so happy that tears fell down, "I remember, I remember, that winter, if Grandpa Lu and Xibao hadn't given us money, We were given food stamps and steamed buns to eat. My brother and I would not be able to survive that month just relying on rotten sweet potato peels and vegetable leaves. You are all kind-hearted and good people. Grandpa Lu and Xibao we met are like this. They don’t ask for anything in return. Please help us, Auntie, you do the same."
