Chapter 57 I really don’t want to lie!
I don’t know if my luck has run out, but I stayed at the gate of this compound all morning and didn’t meet many children in the surrounding area.
Even if they met, it would be with an adult, and Fangyuan would not go up and ask if they would like to change the candy. Isn't this just asking for trouble!
He went to eat something first, and then Fangyuan moved to another place. He couldn't stay in the same place forever.
Arriving at the gate of a compound again, Fangyuan leaned against a tree, looking at the gate of the compound while throwing a candy into his mouth.
This was a completely natural reaction. Fang Yuan didn't react until he put the candy in his mouth, and shook his head with a wry smile.
This made him feel more and more like a child. In his previous life, he rarely ate sweets, or even didn't eat them at all.
But after arriving in this era, Fangyuan not only found that she behaved more and more like a child, but also did the same things, sometimes looking very childish.
He didn't know if this was the impact of this body on him.
Shaking his head and putting these thoughts aside, Fangyuan found a little boy standing in front of him, who looked to be five or six years old.
He kept staring at the candy wrapper in Fangyuan's hand. When he saw Fangyuan looking at him, he quickly said: "Brother, can you give me this?"
"Uh! What do you want this for?" Fang Yuan said as he handed over the candy wrapper.
The little boy happily took it and said: "I have a lot of candy wrappers, more than others."
Hearing what the little boy said, Fangyuan seemed to understand a little bit. In this era, many children have a special liking for candy wrappers.
Especially the candy wrapper for this kind of fruit candies. Let’s talk about the candy wrapper. It is actually a kind of transparent plastic, and it is a relatively hard one.
There are various colors, and there are many patterns and patterns on them. If you hold the candy paper over your eyes, the sky will change colors.
And if you put the candy wrappers on your eyes, you can look at the sun without dazzling it, just like all kinds of sunglasses.
Many children not only exchange this, but also compare who has more candy wrappers. In the hands of these children, candy wrappers are their own unique currency and can be exchanged for anything.
"Thank you, brother."
"You're welcome." Fang Yuan rubbed the little boy's head.
"Brother, do you live here too? Why haven't I seen you?"
"I don't live here, I live far away from here."
Fangyuan is right! Although the hotel he lives in is not very far from here, his home is far away! More than ten kilometers away!
"Ah! Then why don't you go home?"
Hearing the little boy ask this, Fangyuan smiled and said, "My brother is doing business now and can't go home yet."
"Business?" The little boy was confused. Maybe he didn't understand what business was.
"Yes, do business."
Fangyuan did not explain to the little boy what business was, because he felt that the little boy was quite cute. In this era, apart from his sister and the little fat man, this boy was the person he talked to the most.
To put it bluntly, he didn't want to lie to him. To be precise, he didn't want to trick the little boy into giving him tickets in exchange for candy.
"Xie Keqin, what are you doing?" A little girl ran over, pulled the little boy and asked.
It turns out that this little boy’s name is Xie Keqin, which is a very good name. It seems that his parents are good at naming. You must know that in this era, many adults name their children Weiguo, Weidong, Aiguo, Aimin, etc.
.
This is especially true for those who live in this kind of compound. Ordinary people are better off. Although there are many with similar names, they are more casual.
"Mo Yu, this brother gave me a candy wrapper." The little boy quickly took out the candy wrapper and showed off.
Hearing what the little boy Xie Keqin said, the little girl Xiang Jie quickly looked at Fangyuan and asked: "Brother, do you still have candy wrappers?"
"Uh!"
Fangyuan was stunned for a moment. These two children were really straightforward. One asked for it and the other asked. They didn't regard themselves as outsiders at all.
In fact, the world of children is very simple, especially among peers, there is no defense at all, and they basically say what they say.
Fangyuan scratched his head and said: "Yes, there is, but there is sugar in it."
"Ah! Then eat quickly! Give me the candy wrapper after you finish." The little girl Mo Yu stretched out her hand in front of Fangyuan.
Fangyuan smiled bitterly, took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and handed them to each of them, saying, "I don't like eating so much candy, so I'll give it to you! There will be candy wrappers after you finish."
Initially, Fangyuan thought they would take the candy, but the two of them looked at the candy in Fangyuan's hand and shook their heads. The little boy said, "Brother, we don't want candy, we want candy wrappers."
"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "It's a candy wrapper! If you eat the candy, there will be a candy wrapper!"
Hearing what Fangyuan said, the two children looked at each other and ran away, which made Fangyuan a little confused.
Fangyuan shook her head again, put the candy into her pocket, and continued to lean against the tree and wait for someone.
Ten minutes later, two children ran over again, each holding an iron box with English printed on it.
The English name above means biscuits. Needless to say, these are imported biscuits and cannot be bought in places like the Imperial Capital.
Most of them were brought back from a business trip to the south. Things that are not available in the imperial capital can still be bought in Yangcheng, because Yangcheng is next to Xiangjiang River.
The two children ran to Fangyuan, opened the iron box in their hands and said, "Brother, let's change it for you!"
Fangyuan was stunned for a moment and took a look at the contents of the two iron boxes. They also contained candies, but the difference was that they contained toffee, White Rabbit toffee.
"You want to trade this with me?" Fangyuan said, pointing to the White Rabbit toffee in the tin box.
"Yeah!" The two children nodded quickly.
"Your candy is better than mine." Fangyuan shook her head and said.
"But this candy doesn't have a color-changing wrapper," the little girl said.
The little girl Mo Yu is right, White Rabbit toffee is better than fruit candy, but the candy wrapper on it is real paper.
The candy wrapper of fruit candies is not a kind of transparent plastic paper that can change colors. It is also because of this that many children like it.
"How to change?" Fangyuan asked.
"One for another."
"Uh!"
You must know that White Rabbit Milk Candies are larger than fruit candies. There are probably not even a hundred White Rabbit Milk Candies per pound.
This is of course not the most important thing. The most important thing is that White Rabbit Milk Candy is much more expensive than fruit candy. One pound of White Rabbit Milk Candy is more expensive than two pounds of fruit candy.
This is also the reason why Fangyuan doesn’t buy White Rabbit toffee. The ticket is the same, but the price is different.
Moreover, there is too little White Rabbit toffee, just that much per pound, and what about fruit candy? It costs more than 200 yuan per pound, which is not a concept at all.
"Are you sure you want to trade this with me?"
"Yeah!" The two children nodded quickly, as if they were very eager.
Originally, Fangyuan didn't want to trade with them, but after thinking about it, would a family like theirs still lack this thing?
Although he also lives in a compound, there is still a big difference. Like the several compounds he went to before, not to mention White Rabbit milk candies, even fruit candies are good.
These two children must have eaten enough White Rabbit toffees! Otherwise, why would there be so many in the box?
You must know that children are the kind of guys who can't hide leftover buns in the doghouse. Either they have too much to eat, or they just eat too much and don't want to eat it.
"Okay, come on."
Just like that, the three children squatted on the ground and started exchanging candies.
The little boy had more than 130 yuan, and the little girl had more than 160 yuan. Fangyuan quickly exchanged them with them, and the last person gave them two more.
Fangyuan didn’t even count, but two handfuls cost twenty or thirty yuan. This made the two children extremely happy, and they thanked my brother non-stop.
After the two children left, Fangyuan put away the candies and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, another child ran over, and the one leading the way was the little boy just now.
"Mo Yu and I swapped with this brother." The little boy pointed at Fang Yuan and said.
"Brother, please change some for us! I'll go home to get something, so you have to wait for me!"
Hearing their words, Fangyuan's forehead was pounding, thinking: What is going on?
But in the end, Fangyuan still changed with them, but not at the gate, but in an alley near the compound.
There is no way, there are too many people, it is easy to attract the attention of others, especially the people in the compound.
In fact, Fangyuan thought too much. It was working time at this time, and basically only the elderly or children were left at home.
In such a cold day, the elderly will not come out. This does not mean that they are afraid of the cold, but that they are afraid of falling, and only children are running outside.
This time, there are not only candies, but also various snacks, and these children want one thing, and that is fruit candies.
After changing, these children asked him when he would come back again, and could Fangyuan come again? Of course not, he was kicked in the head by a donkey while eating.
"Brother, is this useful to you?" Just as the children were holding their things and preparing to leave, a little boy asked with a few tickets.
"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, but nodded and said, "I can give you candy in exchange for it."
"Ah! Really?"
"Hmm!"
"Great, give it to me!" Because the little girl took out a few industrial coupons.
Although this thing Fangyuan is of no use, it can be exchanged for money! Or it can be exchanged for other things.
Seeing Fangyuan taking the industrial coupons, the little girl asked: "Brother, how much sugar can this be exchanged for?"
"One piece for fifty yuan."
"Ah! So many."
When the other children heard what Fangyuan said, they ran home holding the candy bars they had exchanged.
Seeing this, Fangyuan had a headache! Because he knew that those children had probably gone home to get their things.
Fortunately, Fangyuan has been to several supply and marketing cooperatives in the past few days to buy things with all the tickets in hand, otherwise it would not be enough to exchange.
And if they were replaced with other things, he would still have candy to exchange for others! This was also a headache for him.
Chapter completed!
