Chapter 273: Chapter 0273: Reunion with an Old Acquaintance 1_1

Guan Cheng couldn’t resist Xu Da Niang’s insistence to give, and on the way to the mill, he immediately gave the things to Feng Qingxue.

He didn’t even look at how much money was wrapped in the handkerchief.

Feng Qingxue didn’t accept it and laughingly said, "Your uncle’s salary is not low, and we have subsidies. We are not lacking money at all. You should keep what your aunt gave you. It will be convenient for your future use."

She was afraid that Guan Cheng would overthink and quickly said, "Let’s see how much money your aunt gave you and whether there was any ticket. Your aunt used to keep money and tickets wrapped in the same handkerchief. I am very clear about it! If you want to use the tickets to buy some things for home, I certainly won’t object to such a good deed."

Hearing this, Guan Cheng walked and opened the handkerchief package. As expected, apart from the money, there was also a stack of tickets.

Grain Tickets, Cloth Tickets, Soap Tickets, Sugar Tickets, Egg Tickets...

"I cannot accept this." Guan Cheng stopped, "Aunt, I want to return it to my aunt."

"Why?" Feng Qingxue gently asked. She knew Guan Cheng’s thoughts but still asked.

Guan Cheng seriously said, "The situation in the city is different from our countryside. We are self-sufficient. They, without tickets, can’t do anything even with money. Moreover, the grain that our family just divided is enough to eat. We all have clothes made by my aunt. We are also subsidized by my uncle’s military supply ticket. The tickets from my aunt are optional for us."

Feng Qingxue patted his shoulder, "Then you should return it. I will wait for you here."

Feng Qingxue was very confident in letting Guan Cheng go back alone after only a few minutes of walking.

"All right, Aunt, wait for me!"

Guan Cheng ran back the way he came, while Feng Qingxue idly admired the city scenery and the crowds of people coming and going.

Compared to last year, it seemed a bit more lively now.

By this time next year, the atmosphere in the city should be better, right? According to the records in the spatial data, the famine ended with the summer harvest next year, which means that most regions will have a harvest next year.

Although the yield per acre was still very low, it was much better than during the famine.

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard someone calling from behind. Feng Qingxue looked back and couldn’t for the life of her recognize the simply dressed old woman in front of her, she couldn’t help but ask, "Are you calling me? Who are you?"

The old woman said, "Forty-eight dollars and fifty-seven cents."

Feng Qingxue was taken aback, "You are the old lady I met at the department store, right? You reminded me to buy clothes and shoes at the second-hand counter." Forty-eight dollars and fifty-seven cents was the money the other party gave her during their transaction later.

Looking closely, it really seemed to be her, there was practically no change.

"It’s me, it’s me!" the old woman was very excited, "At first glance, I didn’t dare to recognize you, my dear, you have changed too much compared to back then. Your clothes, manners, and conversation are all different."

Feng Qingxue smiled, "Who doesn’t change?"

At that time, she hadn’t been in this world for long and the pallor of the original owner was evident to everyone.

Now, even though she habitually wore a headscarf and a large straw hat, her rosy complexion could still be seen. Due to her recent marriage to Lu Jiang, all her clothes were new and had no patches.

The old woman held Feng Qingxue’s hand enthusiastically, her face full of joy, "My dear, what are you doing in the city? It’s so rare to run into you. You must come and sit at my house so that our whole family can thank you. Back then, if it weren’t for your generous help, our family wouldn’t be in the state it is now." The food really saved a whole family!
