After returning home and closing the door, Song Tingfeng immediately asked about Huang Zhiqiu's visit.
"Did you lend money to your sister?"
Huang Jianye rubbed his ears and replied aggrievedly, "Our family's money is all with you, how can I borrow money from outside the country?"
Song Tingfeng pointed to the candy on the table, "If she didn't borrow the money, why would she come here to buy something? Do you think I'm stupid? Huang Jianye, tell me clearly how much money you borrowed!"
I had bad luck tonight. I lost several dollars. When I got home, my wife refused to give up. Huang Jianye suddenly became very upset.
"My niece bought this candy!"
Song Tingfeng was stunned, "Huang Yao is back?"
"It's not Huang Yao. What's your name? Momo or something. Oh, I can't remember clearly. I just heard my sister say it. I heard that she came from Jiang City to find her relatives."
Song Tingfeng was doubtful and did not continue to pester her, but in her heart she was planning to find someone to inquire about it tomorrow.

When Huang Zhiqiu woke her up, Yun Mo couldn't open her eyes. Finally, she covered her face with a handkerchief soaked in cold water and managed to get up.
On the winding mountain road, it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. From time to time, the sound of dogs barking and roosters could be heard in the distance. With the faint light of the fire, Yun Mo followed Huang Zhiqiu out of the village.
The Huang family did not have a flashlight, so they had to use homemade torches to light their way.
After walking for who knows how long, there was finally a glimmer of light in the sky. Before Yun Mo could complain of tiredness, Huang Jianjun stopped.
"Little sister, Momo, huh, let's take a rest."
Even though he was a farmer, he was still out of breath after driving over a mountainous road for more than half an hour carrying a heavy load.
After Huang Jianjun put down Yang Xinghua, Huang Zhiqiu quickly handed over the kettle.
"Brother, drink some water."
"Mom, let me take a sip first, my throat is about to smoke."
Huang Zhiqiu didn't expect that her daughter would be so ignorant and fight for water at this time. Just as she was about to lecture her, Huang Jianjun waved his hand to her and said, "It's okay. Let Momo drink tea first. I'm not thirsty, but my legs are a little bit
soft."
"Thank you, uncle."
Yun Mo took the kettle and pretended to take a few sips, but in fact she quietly poured some spiritual spring water into the kettle.
Lingquan water has the effect of strengthening the body and eliminating fatigue.
After drinking the water mixed with spiritual spring water, Huang Jianjun felt refreshed all over, as if he had endless strength.
Soon, the group continued on their way.
In this way, I walked and rested, and finally reached the bus station in the town before 8 o'clock.
There are only two buses from the town to the city every day, at 8:30 am and 1:30 pm.
Huang Jianjun and Yang Xinghua sat in the waiting room waiting, while Yun Mo accompanied Huang Zhiqiu to buy tickets.
"How much do four tickets to Anshi cost?"
"36 yuan."
Huang Zhiqiu was a little anxious, "Why 36? Isn't the fare to the city 8 yuan a ticket?"
The ticket clerk rolled his eyes at her impatiently and said in a very impatient tone, "It's been around for a long time. It has already gone up. Do you want to buy it? If you don't want to buy it, just let it go. Don't delay the people behind you from buying tickets."
Huang Zhiqiu looked at Yun Mo with a blushing face, "Momo, I don't have enough money with me!"
"Mom, it's okay, I have it."
Yun Mo took out the money on her body, counted four ten-dollar bills and handed them to the ticket window.
When she got the ticket, Huang Zhiqiu stuffed the 35 yuan into her hand.
"Momo, you take these first, and I'll return the rest to you when Mom has it."
Yun Mo pushed the money back, "Mom, we are a family, and a family doesn't have to be so clear-cut."
Saying that, Yun Mo took some more of her own money and stuffed it all with Huang Zhiqiu's own money, "Mom, you keep this money for self-defense. You will need money everywhere in the city."
"Need not……"
"Mom, put your money away quickly. There are many people at the station, so be careful of bad guys."
Seeing that there were indeed people looking around, Huang Zhiqiu had no choice but to put the money in his bag and cover it when he walked, for fear of being touched by pickpockets.
At 8:30, the bus departs on time.
Perhaps because of her previous experience, Yunmo not only did not get car sick this time, she was also in a mood to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Along the road there are cornfields full of fruit, and the straight cornstalks are like sentinels, standing neatly and straight on the fertile soil.
The rice fields in the distance are like green blankets. When the breeze blows, the green waves fly, not to mention how beautiful it is.
After getting up too early in the morning and driving another 20 miles on the mountain road, Yun Mo fell asleep quickly amid the picturesque scenery.
When I woke up, the car had arrived at Anshi Bus Station.
It was lunch time. The three of them got out of the car and went to a small restaurant to eat something with Yang Xinghua on their backs before taking a taxi to Anshi People's Hospital.
As soon as the doctor saw Yang Xinghua's legs, he immediately indicated that he would be hospitalized for treatment.
After completing the hospitalization procedures, Huang Zhiqiu stayed in the ward to take care of Yang Xinghua, while Yun Mo took Huang Jianjun to a gold shop to sell bracelets to raise money.
There was no mobile phone network in this era, and Yun Mo was not familiar with Anshi. She was afraid that she would encounter unscrupulous shops and get low prices. Yun Mo was not reckless. Instead, she asked the taxi driver what famous gold shops there were, and then looked at them one by one.
, and finally chose an old gold shop with the longest history.
"You two, what do you want to choose?"
Although the gold shop is not large, it has a complete range of gold, silver and jade.
Yun Mo walked around casually, pointed at a gold bracelet in the gold counter and asked the price.
"How much does this bracelet cost?"
Maybe it was because Yun Mo was too young and Huang Jianjun was poorly dressed and didn't seem like someone who could afford a gold bracelet. The clerk didn't take the bracelet out from the counter, but he was still patient.
"This is pure gold of good quality, with a total weight of 41 grams. It is made of silk and is made of filigree. The price of the gold plus the labor cost is 888 yuan."
Huang Jianjun gasped at the price when he heard it.
Because it is a solid bracelet, the body of the bracelet looks about the size of a chopstick, with the thin end.
But for such a small bracelet, the whole family had to go without food and water for three years to buy it.
The current international gold price is around 20 yuan per gram, with a fluctuation of no more than 10%. Calculated by weight, this bracelet is worth 820 yuan, and the remaining 68 yuan is considered labor costs.
Fair enough.
Yun Mo looked around and asked the clerk with a smile, "Is your boss here? Or someone who can make the decision. I have something here and I want him to take a look."
Under the recommendation of the clerk, Yun Mo quickly met the owner of the gold shop.
A middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s, he smiled shrewdly, but he didn't look like a cunning person.
"Little girl, do you have something to give?"
I have to say that the boss is quite discerning.
Yun Mo and Huang Jianjun, Huang Jianjun was obviously older and he knew he was the parent at first glance, but the boss asked Yun Mo directly.
Yunmo didn't hesitate and took out the gold bracelet.
The moment he saw the bracelet, a flash of surprise flashed through the boss's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
