Chapter 21 Still no money
"Yeah." Mu Xiu nodded, took off the basket, and lifted a corner. The old lady glanced at the egg, showing her ecstasy.
"Little girl, I'll ask for all the things you brought. Let's go there." The old lady said frantically and walked to the corner in front.
"Auntie, let's go over there." Mu Xiu called her and pointed to a bridge not far away.
On the bridge, you can see all the situations around you. If there is anything wrong, you can leave quickly.
Although people in this era are simple, they must be cautious. If they follow the aunt and come out, the things will be robbed, and if she is kidnapped, then... Anyway, no matter what she does, Mu Xiu must take the initiative.
"Okay." The old lady was so old that she quickly figured out the reason and showed a look of praise. It was really rare. This little girl is so cautious and steady in doing things.
The two of them went up the bridge one after another.
"How much does this cost in total?" asked the old lady.
"White flour is now 40 cents per pound, and rice is 50 cents per pound. Although they are more expensive than the market price, these are not available for purchases with food coupons. Eggs cost 20 cents per pound, and there are 20 eggs here, which is 11 yuan in total." Mu Xiu added a little more money to the prices he recorded and fluently quoted the prices.
After hearing the price, the old lady felt that Mu Xiu sold it cheaper than elsewhere. She slapped her thighs and said with bright eyes: "You little girl, it's really true. When do you usually come here? Do you have oil there?"
"There is soybean oil." There are not only soybean oil in Muxiu space, but also peanut oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, and even sunflower oil, olive oil, and coconut oil... But these are too eye-catching to take them out.
Soybean oil, a person can only distribute 10 kilograms of soybean oil a year, which means that a person can eat up to 8 taels of soybean oil a month.
This amount of oil is not enough to eat in modern times for half a month, but in this difficult era, it is already very good to eat seven or eight taels of soybean oil in one month.
The old lady just asked casually, but she didn't expect Mu Xiu to have it. She was overjoyed. "Girl, bring me some next time."
"Okay, aunt, what else do you want? I will try my best to bring what I can bring." Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"I want soybean oil and eggs, and white flour is too expensive. I also need corn flour and brown rice. If there is meat, it would be better." After the old lady finished reporting, she reached out to take out a handkerchief from her pocket. After opening it, she found a stack of coins. She quickly counted 11 yuan and gave it to Mu Xiu.
"Auntie, two days later, I'll wait for you on the bridge." Mu Xiu took the money and put it carefully into the pocket specially sewn in his clothes. Then he squatted down and put the rice and eggs in the back basket into the old lady's basket.
"Okay, I will definitely arrive on time." The old lady left with the basket.
Mu Xiu looked around and no one noticed this place, and few people even passed by. It seems that this place can be regarded as a trading point in the future.
The first money was easily earned, which made Mu Xiu more hopeful about the future. She had a lot of food stored in her space.
It was time to go back to the hospital to cook. Mu Xiu had just walked a few steps when he suddenly thought of something, and stopped. After looking around, she walked towards a middle-aged woman with a cloth corner exposed in a basket.
After some bargaining, Mu Xiu spent 2 yuan to buy a white cloth that was two feet long and one foot wide...
It turned out that Mu Xiu and the others rushed to the hospital. Before leaving, they only brought a few diapers to Mu Xiaohua. Fortunately, it was summer, and the diapers could be done after washing them for a while, but no matter what, it was still not enough to change them...
Nowadays, these white cloths are made into diapers, which is enough for you...
But...ah... Mu Xiu sighed as she walked. She and Zhou Shuilian brought a set of clothes to change clothes. Although it was the end of August, it was still very hot during the day. There was only a ceiling fan hanging on the roof in the ward.
The people in the room basically sweat every day and change their clothes every day. Mu Xiu washed the clothes that Zhou Shuilian and her changed every night.
Although Zhou Shuilian is in confinement and according to the old habit, she cannot blow the wind at all, but now she lives in the hospital and if she does not turn on the ceiling fan, the room will be like a steamer. The people on bed 1 and bed 2 will not agree, so she can only feel sorry for Zhou Shuilian.
Zhou Shuilian is as long as Mu Xiaohua can be healthy, it doesn’t matter whether she is in the confinement period well, but Mu Xiu feels a little distressed. She touches the money she earns today, and she becomes even more depressed...
You can make more money by taking a few more trips, but how can you get through the road to the bright road is really a headache.
After Mu Xiu returned to the hospital, Mu Xiaohua came back after treatment. The nurse who sent Mu Xiaohua back handed the charging slip to Mu Xiu.
“This is the treatment fee today.”
Mu Xiu took the charging order and saw that it was forty yuan and frowned. Mu Xiaohua needed 40 yuan for treatment fees a day. Mu Xiu only had 100 yuan on her body. Today's expenses included the money she earned today, but it was only twenty-nine yuan...
It seems that I will still have to go to the black market again in the afternoon. No matter what Zhou Shuilian thinks, I will pay today's fee first. I will save tomorrow's matters until tomorrow before solving them. If I can get more treatment for one day, I will have more hope!
"Xiu, your father has been back for three days, right?" Zhou Shuilian took the charging slip from Mu Xiu, and she asked with some concern.
"It's been three days in a row today." Mu Xiu calculated the day.
"Then we should be back soon, right?" Zhou Shuilian looked at Mu Xiu, as if she wanted to get Mu Xiu a positive answer.
"Absolutely." Mu Xiu nodded.
"That's good, show, isn't the hospitalization fee insufficient?"
"It's still a little bit short, but, mother, don't worry. I'll go and talk to the doctor to see if I can owe it first. When my father comes back, I will pay it to the hospital." Mu Xiu comforted Zhou Shuilian.
"If you don't have money, you still have to rely on it. Shameless means that people like you always try their best to dig out socialist corners and get rid of socialist wool." The mother who was accompanying her bed No. 2 said sarcastically.
There is no way, the ward space is so small, and the distance between the beds is very close. Unless you deliberately sound very low, you can basically hear it as soon as you speak.
"This girl, we don't... as soon as the child's father came back, we made up the expenses. We are not the ones who are lying to pay..." Zhou Shuilian explained anxiously, otherwise such a big hat would have been to crush the person to death.
