The reason why Mu Yiren has told the truth has two considerations. First, she wants to thank Jian Yan for the intelligence information, and second, she also wants to help her.
If she goes to the waste recycling station in the town tomorrow, she will definitely be able to find some useful cultural relics, then her dilemma of wanting to exchange shopping materials can be solved. Therefore, it is not a matter of changing the kerosene lamp of Jianyan's house. very important.
But this information was told to herself by Jian Yan, and she should express her gratitude. Secondly, she couldn't bear it. Jian's family is such an old man and a weak woman. The labor force and productivity are too low. This life is better than anyone in the village. Everyone is even more difficult.
Western medicine is rare and precious, and most people in the countryside are reluctant to spend money. People in the village have a headache and a fever, and they all ask the village doctor Li to pick up some herbs and boil water to drink. She has heard this before.
And Grandma Jane was sick in bed, but she didn't smell the slightest herbal smell in the house.
Muyi knew that life in the Jane family might not be easy, but she didn't know how "easy" it was, but now she roughly understood it.
I didn't even pick up traditional Chinese medicine to drink the common cold and cold. I guess I have reached the point of being stretched and difficult.
But Jianyan didn't mention a word. Muyi can understand her thoughts. A person with a strong heart is always strong. Hardships are on the lips.
Therefore, if he directly gave her some food, Jian Yan would definitely not accept it, but if there was something in exchange, it would be different.
Anyway, for her, the more antique cultural relics, the better, no matter how many they are, she will not dislike them. She needs valuable cultural relics, and in short, some practical living materials.
"Uh, so what?"
Jian Yan asked in disapproval. Obviously, her thinking was different from that of Muyi people. In her eyes, this kerosene lamp has accumulated for many years. It is a kerosene lamp, and it is worth a handful of corn residue.
Mu Yiren sighed slightly, a little helpless!
This is the value difference caused by the turbulent era. During this period, under the severe crackdown on policy reforms, cultural relics are only an illusory conceptual awareness for everyone.
Perhaps far less than a handful of rice, a few sweet potatoes are more practical.
"Antique and cultural relics, you know? This kerosene lamp in your house has a collection value, and I like to collect these things."
"Ah? What's there to collect this thing?" Jian Yan was quite speechless, looking at Mu Yiren with some incomprehension.
Muyi people know that it is useless to explain more to Jianyan now. Values need a cyclical and gradual process.
"I just like to collect some old objects, which can be passed on to future generations in the future."
"Your hobby is really unique." Jian Yan pouted secretly.
Muyi said with a smile, "It's worthless now, but it doesn't mean it's worthless in the future, so, do you want to exchange it with me?"
Jian Yan reluctantly said, "If you like it, just take it and replace it with a kerosene lamp."
Jian Yan is embarrassed to exchange a kerosene lamp with Muyiren for other things. Although Muyiren thinks it is very valuable, in her heart it is not a valuable thing.
She can't exchange a worthless thing. Isn't that taking advantage of the Iraqi people? It can't be done.
"If you are willing, then exchange it according to my request, otherwise I will be embarrassed to take your things, don't worry, I will not suffer, this thing may be useless to you, but it is different for me. Value, I say so, do you understand?"
Seeing that Jian Yan didn't care at all, Mu Yiren had to express it in another way.
"This... well, you can figure it out!"
After Jian Yan hesitated, she had to agree. It could be seen that Yiren really liked her own kerosene lamp, perhaps as she said, everyone has different standards for measuring value.
If she doesn't agree to her exchange request, then she definitely won't want it. It's the same reason that she doesn't want to take advantage of her.
"Okay, I'll bring it to you later."
After the exchange was reached, Mu Yiren couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, chatted briefly, and left in a hurry.
Mu Yiren didn't go back to Qin's house, but found a place at the foot of the mountain, and loaded five catties of rice, five catties of white flour, ten eggs, and a pheasant she caught from the system's storage warehouse, because There is no shortage of meat at home, and she has always been stored in the storage warehouse.
It's just enough to replenish the body for Grandma Jane. The elderly are getting older, and minor pains and illnesses can wear down their bodies. This can't be sloppy.
For Jian Yan, Grandma Jane is her only relative and her only spiritual support, so Grandma Jane is doing well.
Thinking that if she took away the kerosene lamp, Jane's house would not be able to light up at night, so Muyi took out five more candles and gave them a temporary use. There was no kerosene lamp in her reserve, so she couldn't give it to Jane. Let me tell you one, I hope I can find one in town tomorrow.
It stands to reason that if the kerosene lamp from the Republic of China is put on the trading platform, the materials that can be exchanged must be far more than that. The Muyi people want to give more, but they are afraid that they will not accept it at that time.
Jian Yan's temper is also stubborn. Judging from their conversation just now, he is someone who won't take advantage of others.
If there are too many supplies, I am afraid it will cause Jian Yan to think too much. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, we can only maintain an appropriate amount.
Even if you are willing to help each other, you can only do it little by little, and there will be more opportunities in the future.
Mu Yiren packed his things and sat there for more than ten minutes before walking towards Jian's house with two cloth bags.
**
Looking at the two cloth bags placed on the table, Jian Yan's eyes widened.
"all these are?"
Would it be too exaggerated? Just a kerosene lamp.
Mu Yiren said with a serious face, "Yes, hurry up and put it away. This kerosene lamp has more than that, but that's all I can take out for the time being. Don't think it's too small."
Jian Yan's hands trembled, and a broken kerosene lamp was exchanged for two bags of things. Although she didn't know what was inside, the amount alone was worth it.
If she dared to think too little, she would be punished by heaven!
Jian Yan opened the cloth bag with trembling hands, saw what was in the bag, and immediately stopped and took a few steps back.
"Yiren, I can't have it! The things you exchanged are too... too expensive."
Whether it's rice noodles or egg white candles, they are all expensive things, and even if she only took out one of them, she felt that it was too valuable.
Isn't Yiren trying to deceive her on purpose? This kerosene lamp is not as unique and precious as she said, she just wants to help them, so let's find a reason!
Yiren should have heard something, or saw the embarrassment of their family.
"Yiren, take these things back, just take away my kerosene lamp."
As soon as Mu Yiren's face collapsed, she knew it would be like this. She had already greatly reduced the supplies, but Jian Yan still felt that it was too much and was unwilling to accept it.
Look, look at the look on her face now, you know she's thinking crooked.
Hey, she just wanted to do a favor by the way! God knows, she made a lot of money, okay!
But now Jian Yan thinks that he has suffered a big loss, the feeling is really indescribable.
"I'm telling the truth. This kerosene lamp has cultural relic value, far more than these things. I feel that I have given too little. Do you want me to make a poisonous oath to prove it?"
After speaking, Mu Yiren raised three fingers, Jian Yan immediately grabbed Mu Yiren's hand, and said depressedly.
"Don't! This poison oath can't be made casually, I believe you are."
Mu Yiren said with a smile, "You will know the value of this in the future. Don't cry at me then."
Jian Yan couldn't help but replied, "Don't worry, I will never ask you what you want."
Jian Yan then opened another cloth bag and was very surprised to see the pheasant with blood on its neck.
"You went into the deep mountains to hunt?"
Mu Yiren replied along the lines, "Yes, my third brother is better at hunting, don't push me any more, our family doesn't lack meat, even if you don't, you have to think about Grandma Jane, she My body is empty now, and I need to make up for it."
Jian Yan paused, her eyes were slightly red, and she couldn't refute those words.
There is no food at home at all. During this period of time, their family relied on the mountains to find something to eat. When the harvest is good, they can eat two meals a day to get enough water. If they are unlucky, they will only consume one meal a day.
In fact, her grandmother didn't catch a cold at all, she just didn't have enough to eat every day, and she was starving and collapsed. In order to reduce the consumption of her body, she just lay in bed and rested.
"Thank you~"
Jian Yan lowered her head slightly, covering the tears in her eyes. Regardless of whether the exchange that Yiren said was worth it, she accepted the favor.
She is still young and her body is still strong, she can survive such a hard life, but grandma can't!
She couldn't make fun of her grandmother's body for the so-called face and her stubbornness in her bones. If she continued to consume it like this, her grandmother's body would definitely collapse.
The comforting words at this time may only make the other party uncomfortable. In this regard, Mu Yiren only whispered.
"No thanks, these are all you deserve."
This is the truth!
**
Mu Yiren left Jian's house with a kerosene lamp, came to the foot of the mountain again, put the kerosene lamp into the system, and handed it over to the trading platform.
The Muyi people exchanged five buckets of white paint, and the remaining material points were all exchanged for other living materials.
There is no way, each transaction must be settled at one time, that is to say, she must exchange all the material points exchanged for the item, otherwise it will be invalid the next day.
Therefore, even if there is no shortage of food and daily necessities for the time being, she will stock up.
