Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Transfer of Ownership Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Transfer of Ownership The elderly lady asked excitedly in a low voice, “Do you have fine grain?”
Luo Qiao said, “Yes, there’s white flour, rice, and also millet.”
The elderly lady took so items out and handed them to Luo Qiao, “Take a look, how much grain can I get for these?”
Luo Qiao opened the items and asked, “Auntie, what would you like to exchange, and how much?”
The elderly lady asked cautiously, “Can you give five jin of each type?”
Luo Qiao glanced at the items in her hand and thought for a mont before saying, “How about this, I’ll give you ten jin of each type. These things just aren’t worth much now, but they’ll be valuable later.”
The elderly lady sighed and said, “Who can wait for later? If it can be exchanged for so grain to tide us over now, then it’s worth it.”
Luo Qiao saw that the auntie only brought one cloth bag and looked around to see that no one was paying attention at the mont. She directly gave the elderly lady the grain along with the bag and even added an extra one and a half jin of dried red dates.
Mainly because Luo Qiao felt like she had gotten a great deal and felt sowhat embarrassed.
This made the elderly lady incredibly happy. Her daughter-in-law was at ho in postpartum confinent and didn’t have enough breast milk, which is why she took the risk to co to the Black Market. She didn’t expect the young lady to give her extra grain and even so red dates.
These were good items, perfect for adding to the porridge for her daughter-in-law to nourish her body.
After leaving the Black Market and nearing noon, Luo Qiao found a state-run restaurant and saw they had wontons, so she ordered a serving and also asked for two vegetable buns.
After receiving the buns, she discovered that the vegetable bun was even bigger than the at bun. After finishing her al, she managed to tuck the remaining bun into her space with the cover of her carrying basket.
After eating, she thought that since there was still plenty of ti, she might as well finish her business, and there was a chance she could even return ho in the afternoon.
When she arrived at the house, she saw the couple cleaning up dishes in the yard. They smiled at Luo Qiao when they saw her, “Have you co over?”
Luo Qiao nodded, “I was thinking of finishing the paperwork today so it won’t affect your trip tomorrow. Is that alright with you?”
The old man said, “My surna is Li, and you can call Grandpa Li. My wife’s na is Qiao Yurong.”
Luo Qiao greeted, “Hello Grandpa Li, Grandma Li. My na is Luo Qiao.”
The elderly couple had just finished their al. After tidying up, the three set off together to the housing bureau and transferred the property on the first floor. Luo Qiao had been worried that her age might prevent the transfer.
But the procedure went surprisingly smoothly today; mainly because she was the head of the household according to her household registration book, and the young man handling the matter seed to be in a good mood.
After the paperwork was done, Luo Qiao handed over nine hundred yuan to Old Master Li right then and there, and now she too finally had a ho of her own.
The Li couple handed Luo Qiao a key and said, “After we move out our things tomorrow, we will leave the extra two keys on the kitchen windowsill. You’ll see them when you go in.”
Luo Qiao nodded in agreent. Seeing that everything was settled, the Li couple left first.
Watching the Li couple leave, Luo Qiao contemplated whether she should go upstairs for a visit when she saw Qu Lili coming down.
Qu Lili also noticed Luo Qiao and hurried over with a smile, “How co you’re here now?”
Luo Qiao took out a bag of red dates from her basket and handed it to Qu Lili, “I was just thinking of how to call you down. I definitely don’t want to go up to the second floor again and bump into Ding Xiangdong—it would be so awkward.”
Qu Lili burst into laughter, “It’s fine. Jiang Shan causes a scene every ti. Everyone in the unit knows about it, so you don’t need to feel embarrassed.”
