Chapter 714 Borrowing Money
Qingke Phosphorus District, Experimental Market No. 18.
Ji Xiaoyan patted her belly twice with satisfaction, smiled happily at Yu Qisi who was walking next to her, and then looked at the few coins in Yu Qisi's hand. Bags and the others tasted food from this way and picked out the food they liked. They blinked and asked, "Is it serious on July 4th? How about I help get half of it?"
"No need." Yes, Miss Xiaoyan, This thing is actually not heavy at all." Yu Qisi felt warm in his heart when he heard Ji Xiaoyan's words, and then said with a smile: "If this weight is compared with what we used to train, there is a world of difference. Well... Miss Xiaoyan, there are some snacks over there, should we go over and have a look?"
"Can you still eat it?" Ji Xiaoyan looked at Yu Qisi and asked with a smile.
Although there are very few naturally produced foods in the Federation now and are very expensive, there are still some. At least Ji Xiaoyan saw several of them in this market, but the price was very daunting... Other synthetic and indoor-cultured foods are relatively cheaper, and the types of foods are also very There are so many things, many of which Ji Xiaoyan has never seen or eaten before! So, along the way, she and Yu Qisi basically visited every stall and tried something new!
"My appetite is quite large!" Yu Qisi blushed immediately when he heard Ji Xiaoyan's words, and then said: "However, if you can't eat, Miss Xiaoyan, we will go back to the hotel now. Let's go? Anyway, there is food in the hotel...it's free!" After saying that, Yu Qisi winked at Ji Xiaoyan mischievously.
“Keep shopping!!” Ji Xiaoyan sniffed the aroma of the food in the air, and then said: “Actually, I was only half full. Let’s go back after we’re full! I’m just worried. It's just troublesome for you to carry so many things! However, since you said there is no problem, let's continue walking inside... By the way, remember to remind me to buy Luo Ye something to eat later! For a moment, otherwise it would be bad if he finds out later that we went out for a walk and didn’t bring him food when we came back! You used to be his housekeeper, so you should know very well what kind of food he likes to eat. ?”
“Yes!” Yu Qisi nodded, and then said with a smile: “If we meet, I will remind you!”
Master Yu Jiangxia will eat whatever he wants. ? The answer is obviously no! Generally speaking, for our children, imported things need to be carefully inspected to ensure safety before they are imported. Even if they are eating outside, they will not go to a store that they generally do not trust, let alone something in a small market like this.
Originally, Yu Qisi did not advocate taking Ji Xiaoyan around to try food in the market, but then he thought about it, Ji Xiaoyan is not famous now, and it is impossible for someone to come here deliberately to harm her. If now If she doesn't take this opportunity to give her a try in this atmosphere, she will probably never have another chance in the future...
Especially when one day, Ji Xiaoyan becomes a famous person in the game, her real life will be different. It will be even more difficult!
"Then let's go!" Ji Xiaoyan smiled immediately when he heard Yu Qisi's words, then looked around, chose a small stall that looked very lively, and pulled Yu Qisi along Si walked over there, "It's very lively over there, let's go and take a look?"
"Yeah!" Yu Qisi tightened the things he was carrying, smiled and followed Ji Little words.
The stall Ji Xiaoyan and the others chose was a food stall among a bunch of small department store stalls. Both sides of the long aisle from east to west are crowded with people. Some want to go through the crowd to the other side, and some are just looking at the products at the nearby department stores. Of course, the most customers are here to eat. them.
Ji Xiaoyan glanced curiously at the crowd and found that he had no way to squeeze in, so he had to turn his head to Yu Qisi with some disappointment and said: "Let's wait in line to get in!"
Yu Qisi smiled silently and nodded.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoyan suddenly saw a middle-aged woman squeeze out of the crowd next to her. She was holding a stack of brand-new federal coins in a department store where she was standing. Beside the stall, he pointed to a child who was trying on a hat in front of the stall. He looked at the stall owner and asked, "Are there any other hats for children like this?"
"Yes!" the stall owner heard. "Business," he immediately replied with a smile.
"How much?" When the middle-aged woman heard this, she smiled happily, and then shouted twice to the side: "Mom, Mom, bring the child over quickly, we have the goods here."
The stall owner smiled and waited until the middle-aged woman greeted her relatives, and then continued: "Guest, this kind of hat is not expensive. You can buy one for only 560 federal dollars. This is a foreign currency." Made from the fur of a mutated flying squirrel in District 1, we used to have to pay at least more than a thousand federal coins for each one. Now because we have a celebration in Qingkelu District, the federal government gives it to us. Subsidy, so it’s half price!”
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she frowned hesitantly and glanced at a child and an old man who had crowded around her. After thinking about it, Looking at the old man, he asked, "Mom, what do you think?"
When the old man heard the price, he immediately shook his head and said, "Five hundred and sixty federal coins." It’s so expensive, so don’t buy it.”
The middle-aged woman hesitated, and the child who was being held by the old man next to her suddenly said aggrievedly: “Grandma, I want it, I want it.” The middle-aged woman looked at the child distressedly, then thought about it, and said to the old man: "Mom, why don't you buy one for your child! Five hundred and sixty federal dollars, we'll see you later Just buy less things! Go back, wait until the game starts, I will go into the game and sell some of the things I have on me to make money!"
The old man thought for a while, but did not nod. He looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "How much can you sell those things for? We still owe them more than 5,000 federal dollars for the connector!..."
The middle-aged woman thought for a while, then frowned and stood aside, glanced at the stall owner who was greeting other customers, and said in a low voice to the old man: "Otherwise, I will go back and sell the items in my bag." As long as you find the right buyer, then Xi will definitely be sold for a big price. Then our family will not have to worry about the future life, and it will also give Xiaoya better living conditions..."
When the old man heard this, he immediately looked at it with vigilance. Looking around, I didn't find that Ji Xiaoyan and the others were just right. After hearing their conversation, he shook his head after a while and said sternly to the middle-aged woman: "Are you crazy? What is that thing that can be sold easily? Maybe it will lead to death!" Didn’t you tell me that that thing appeared before? What happened in the end? No one knows whether the seller got the money, but the things were obtained by others, but by what means, who can know? Come on, we are all ordinary people and we cannot afford to offend those people with big families and big businesses. , what if that thing really showed up and was snatched away? Forget it, but if someone takes it away and hurts us... then it’s really not worth the loss!”
“But, Mom, today is also Xiaoya’s tenth birthday! He likes it! Such a thing..." The middle-aged woman looked at it heartbrokenly She looked at the little hand holding her clothes tightly next to her, then looked at the old man and said, "Actually, as long as we find a good buyer..."
"Qing, stop talking!" the old man said. After hearing this, he immediately said: "Can you know those powerful people? Is it a big family? If there is no way, any group of people can wipe out our family... Qing, I know that after Heng'er left, the burden of the family fell on you, and the old woman has nothing to do. Your ability to live will still be hindered! No matter how tired I am, I just hope that our family of three can live safely..."
"Mom!" When the middle-aged woman heard this, she burst into tears, "I don't think so. You're dragging me down..."
The old man wiped the corners of his eyes, glanced at the middle-aged woman with relief, then put on a smile again, and said to the child who was looking at the middle-aged woman longingly: "Xiaoyu, what happened to grandma and mother today?" I didn’t bring enough money. How about we wait a few days and come back? How about buying a hat? How about we go to the other side to buy some food for Xiaoyu?”
“No, no!” When the child heard this, he shook his head and cried: “Mom said Today is my birthday, I will give you a gift!” But mom didn’t bring enough money with her today!” The old man continued to coax, and then he looked at his grandson and said, “We will come to buy it in a few days. Xiaoyao must be obedient. If he does, grandma will ask mom to give him more. Let me buy some delicious food, okay? Are you still saying that you want to eat those flowing rainbow candies? Can grandma take Xiaoya to buy them together?”
“No, no! I want a hat.” I want a flying squirrel hat!" When the child heard this, he immediately started crying. Many people shopping nearby saw this and immediately moved to the side. This kind of drama of children fighting over what to buy can be seen everywhere in the market. It is not unusual at all. If you don't stay away, turn around. It's hard for me to have an attack even if my child spills something on me!
The middle-aged woman smiled awkwardly at the people around her, quickly hugged the child and continued to coax her.
Ji Xiaoyan saw the child crying heartbrokenly and the old man with a bitter smile on his face, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. In her mind, she had done something like this when she was a child, crying and making trouble to buy something that she liked but was useless. What were the expressions of her parents at that time? She must be the same as the mother in front of her...
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoyan looked at the crowds of people queuing in front of the food stalls, said something to Yu Qisi, and then He took out six hundred federal dollars, walked to the middle-aged woman and said, "Sister, if you don't mind, I will lend you this money! When will you be able to do so?" That’s it, just give it back to me!”
She had the idea of giving the money directly to the middle-aged woman, or buying the flying squirrel hat directly for the child, but thinking about it later I think, if she encounters such a thing, and there is something on her body that is said to "lead to death", there is no guarantee that she will not think too much about it! How can there be so many people in the world willing to give themselves free things? !
So, after thinking about it, Ji Xiaoyan still felt that it would be better to lend money to others! If they don't pay it back, forget it, it's a good idea to do their best to accumulate blessings for themselves...
As expected, when the middle-aged woman and the old man heard Ji Xiaoyan's words, they immediately looked at him warily. To her, then shook his head and said: "No, no need!"
With that said, the middle-aged woman immediately picked up the child and prepared to leave.
"Mom, I want a hat, I want a flying squirrel hat..." As soon as the child heard his mother's words, he immediately twisted around, struggled and shouted: "Mom, you promise to buy it for me. Flying squirrel hat, you agreed ! Dad also said that when I am ten years old, he will buy me a flying squirrel hat..."
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she suddenly looked sad and felt a little overwhelmed. Looking at the struggling child in his arms.
"Xiaoyu..." The old man's face darkened, he looked at the child and said, "You have to listen to your mother!"
"I want a hat...I want a hat !" The child obviously didn't buy it and kept struggling and yelling.
"Well, eldest sister, why don't you lend me this little money to buy a hat for your child? I don't mean anything malicious! I just think you remind me of the way my parents were when I was a child..." Ji Xiaoyan said sincerely He looked at the middle-aged woman and said.
"No..." The middle-aged woman just refused, but was immediately interrupted by the struggling child in her arms.
“Sister, I really don’t have any ill intentions!” Ji Xiaoyan continued.
The old man looked at the heartbroken child crying in the middle-aged woman's arms with some distress, and then looked at Ji Xiaoyan seriously. After thinking for a long time, he asked in a deep voice: "Little girl, you lent us money, how do you need us to repay it?" Usury? Or is there some other purpose?
"Ah! Well, if you have money, you can pay me back! I'm not in a hurry!" Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoyan tried his best to smile as gently as possible, and then said.
"Do you need us to write you an IOU?" the old man asked again.
"No, no need!" Ji Xiaoyan shook his head and saw the old man's eyes suddenly changed, so he quickly said: "If you insist, I don't care!"
She had no idea of asking the family to pay her back anyway.
The old man thought for a while, looked at the child, and then said to Ji Xiaoyan: "Since you are kind-hearted, we will lend you money. However, we can't say no to the money. I’ll give it back to you soon!”
“Well, it’s okay, just wait until you have more money and then give it back to me!” Ji Xiaoyan smiled immediately after hearing this, and then put his hand in his hand. The federal coin was handed to the old man.
"Then, after we buy the hats, I will write you an IOU. Please wait, we will be ready soon!" The middle-aged woman smiled at Ji Xiaoyan gratefully, and then He put the child in his arms on the ground again and immediately went to the department store to greet the stall owner to get the goods.
