After getting the answer he wanted from the old lady, Fang Yuan chatted with the old lady for a while before saying goodbye.
When they returned to the middle court, Qin Jingru had already washed and hung her clothes neatly. She was sitting on the steps at the door, resting her chin on her hand and lost in thought.
Hearing the commotion and seeing that Fang Yuan had returned, she stood up with a whoosh.
"Big Brother Yuan, I've already washed your clothes for you and cleaned the house. Is there anything else you need my help with?”
"No, no. It's been hard on you. You helped me wash my clothes and clean up.”
"Actually, it's a small matter. It's not hard. I used to have to clean up every day at home. I'm used to it, so I did it casually.”
These days, it was the most basic for a girl to take care of the house.
Besides, she was cleaning up Fang Yuan's house, so Qin Jingru was actually very happy.
"No matter what, thank you. Oh right, I'm going out for a while. Do you want to come with me?”
Anyway, it was boring to go out alone, so he had Qin Jingru as a companion.
Moreover, Qin Jingru was still a blank sheet of paper. Instead of letting Xu Damao, that bastard, benefit, it was better to save her!
"Really? W-Will I cause you trouble if I go with you?”
"What's the trouble? I'm just going out to shop. It just so happens that you haven't been to the capital before, right? Let's go and take a look together."
"Alright, I'll listen to you then…"
Qin Jingru replied with a red face. Looking at her shy appearance, she had a different feeling.
Fang Yuan couldn't help but look at her a few more times until Qin Jingru couldn't take it anymore. Only then did he lead her out with a smile.
It was quite inconvenient to go out these days, unlike in the modern world, where there were bicycles, trolleys, taxis, and even high-speed rail planes.
Nowadays, let alone cars, even bicycles were high-end vehicles!
Ordinary people either had two legs or had to take trolleybuses.
Speaking of trolleybuses, they were actually buses in the future.
However, if you were to calculate the degree of crowding…the trolleybus in this era could be compared to the subway in the morning and evening rush hour in the future!
Good heavens, the moment he got into the car, the familiar feeling returned!
Fang Yuan felt like he had become a sardine in an iron bucket again! It was called "going with the flow" and "not being able to control oneself"!
Where was this ticket seller going to put his voice and shout?
"Squeeze in, squeeze in! You plan to plant crops on such a big piece of land!”
As the people on the other side of the carriage were shouting, the carriage began to be crowded again.
Fang Yuan was a man, but it was hard on Qin Jingru.
Her small body was squeezed into Fang Yuan's arms by the two "valiant" aunties behind her!
In addition, it was only early autumn, and the aura of the autumn tiger was still there. She did not wear much when she went out.
Qin Jingru couldn't help but lean into her arms, swaying along with the car's journey.
Fang Yuan's heart was in a mess.
He could only secretly sigh. No wonder a certain dwarf country's specialty movie always liked to make streetcar avis and whatnot. This really fulfilled the saying," Art comes from life "!
She lowered her head and looked at Qin Jingru…
Good heavens, her entire body had gone limp, and she was lying on the ground with a red face, like noodles…
The two of them had been suffering all the way until they finally reached the place. After putting in all their effort, they finally got off the car at Dazhalan.
Anyway, this place was not far from the front door. It was just a matter of taking a few steps.
Moreover, Dazhalan was one of the most prosperous business districts in the city.
There were many shops and restaurants, as well as a bunch of time-honored brands.
There was a saying among the older generation in Sijiu City," In front of Dongsi Xidan Gulou, outside Qianmen, there is a New Year's festival." The latter sentence was referring to the area around Qianmen Dazhalan.
Of course!
The current Dazhalan could not be compared to the future. After all, it was a different era, and comparing it would be like bullying.
But even so, it was still very lively here. At a glance, the streets were filled with pedestrians, and the shouting of the shop assistants by the roadside was also endless.
It was probably Qin Jingru's first time here. She felt curious and fresh about everything.
"There are so many people here. There aren't so many people in our village even when we attend a big market…and there are so many food stalls…"
Although the environment these days did not allow private businesses, otherwise, they would be charged with speculation. However, there were also many restaurants, snack bars, and snack shops that were jointly owned by the public and the private. These were all legal.
As Qin Jingru spoke, she stared at a shop selling desserts, candied fruits, and candied haws. Her eyes lit up.
Speaking of snacks, candied fruits, candies, candied haws, and so on, it was not rare in the future. Who had not eaten them before?
However, in this day and age, some people might not even have tasted the taste of dessert and candied fruit in their entire lives.
Even some children from poor families would occasionally taste the white sugar, and it would be as if it was the new year!
If he mixed some sugar with water and drank it, he would be beautiful for a few days!
Seeing that Qin Jingru was swallowing her saliva, Fang Yuan could not help but laugh as he pulled her straight to the shop.
"What do you want to eat?”
"Really? But…but this isn't good…I, how can I spend your money…"
Qin Jingru was about to drool, but she still held back the craving in her stomach.
Be reserved…A girl should be reserved…
"What's wrong with that? I'm willing to spend it for you. Big sister, please give me two skewers of candied haws. In addition, give me three catties of these snacks and candied fruits.”
These things weren't expensive.
Qin Jingru originally wanted to refuse, but Fang Yuan pinched her small hand, and her face turned red.
Ever since they got out of the car, Fang Yuan had not let go of her hand.
And the intimate contact in the car just now because of the overcrowding had long made Qin Jingru's mind focus on Fang Yuan.
Not to mention holding hands, even if they really did something more out of line, it would probably only be a half-hearted thing.
After weighing the snacks, Fang Yuan brought Qin Jingru to the black market that the Deaf old lady had mentioned.
The black market and ghost market in his mind seemed to have a natural sense of mystery. They were either quiet or hidden, gloomy or dark.
But in fact, this place looked no different from an ordinary alley!
Pedestrians came and went, children ran, and old people gathered in groups of twos and threes. There were people chatting and playing chess.
Going further in and turning a corner, it finally felt like a black market. There were a bunch of people, men, women, old and young, standing or sitting on both sides of the wall. Most of them were wearing headscarves and cloth to cover their faces, making them look quite mysterious.
Many of them were covered with sackcloth, and there were some items on them. From food stamps to pots and pans, they had everything, including some cages that contained chickens, ducks, geese, and so on.
Fang Yuan walked back and forth and looked around. His luck was really good. He got a bicycle ticket from a wealthy aunt.
The price of this thing wasn't cheap. Good heavens, it was more than 30 yuan!
However, Fang Yuan was generous. He did not even bargain. Without hesitation, he directly took out four ten-yuan bills and handed them to the aunt.
After getting this thing, the purpose of this trip was achieved. Fang Yuan casually walked around before leading Qin Jingru out of the black market.
However, not long after he came out, Fang Yuan realized that something was wrong.
Behind him…it seemed like someone had their eyes on him!
