Chapter 9

The moment the nurse heard that there was so much food, she quickly answered without even caring if it were coarse or fine grains.
“Why don’t you sell the food to me? I’ll give you double the money! The corn flour costs $0.12 per catty at the cooperative, so I’ll pay you $0.25 each. As for sorghum rice, it has a market value of $0.20 per cattie. I’ll give you $0.50 per cattie. What do you think?”
Bai Xue knew the nurse was referring to the prices of the food using food stamps. Without the food stamp, it would definitely be a high price to buy food on the black market and not everyone could afford it.
However, she urgently needed money now. She had no choice but to agree to the nurse’s prices.
“Alright, then I’ll bring the food to you later! Please prepare the money!” Bai Xue turned around as she spoke.
She calculated 10 catties of cornmeal and sorghum rice each being only worth $2.50 and $5 respectively. This was not enough for the medical fees! Second Uncle said he would borrow more money, but no one knew when he would get here. She might as well sell something to this nurse while she was at it! She turned around and looked at the nurse mysteriously.
“I still have a bottle of scented moisturizing cream. I got it from a relative living in a big city and you can’t buy it here. Are you interested?”
She sold those old-fashioned skin creams in the supermarket for roughly $10 a box.
In this era, it was a rare product and could not be found in remote areas.
When the young nurse heard this, she immediately nodded and said that she wanted it.
“The scented moisturizing cream is very hard to come by. When my relatives sent it over, they said that it was very difficult to buy it. It costs at least $5!” Bai Xue asked for the sky.
$5 was indeed a large sum of money given 20 catties of food only cost $7.50.
The young nurse was in a dilemma for a while. She only earned $28 a month, which was not as much as the doctor’s salary of $48 a month.
If she spent $5 on scented moisturizing cream, she would not have much left from her salary this month. It was justifiable to buy food, but if she spent so much money on scented moisturizing cream, her mother would scold her to death and might even hit her.
The nurse’s name was Chen Qiyue. She was already 20 years old this year and was not married yet. She lived with her parents and had to hand over her monthly salary to her mother. Her mother would only give her $2 to $3 to spend. She had a lot of money on hand today since she had just received her salary and did not have the chance to hand it over to her mother.
“If you don’t want to buy it, I’ll ask someone else. I’ve never used my scented moisturizing cream a single time before!” Bai Xue saw her hesitation and immediately added.
“I’ll buy it! I’ll buy it! Bring everything here, and I’ll prepare the money for you!” Chen Qiyue made up her mind.
“Alright, I’ll go get the stuff now!” Bai Xue turned around and ran away.
She had to hurry up and get things done before her father came out of the operating theater. As for Uncle Quanzi, who went to the canteen to find hot water, she did not have time for him now. If he found hot water, he would probably return to the entrance of the operating theater and wait!
Bai Xue ran out of the hospital in one breath. She looked around for a while and saw a small alley opposite. She quickly ran over. It was cold and not many people were out walking. She entered the alley and walked for a while. She hid in the corner of the wall and started to take things out of the interspatial supermarket.
Corn noodles and sorghum rice were sold in large wooden barrels, but she was not sure about using plastic bags in this era. She did not dare to take the risk, so she found a small cloth bag used for the down jacket to store the rice noodles. A small cloth bag could only hold five catties of grain. She filled four bags and went to the cosmetics area to take the scented moisturizing cream.
She checked the box to see if there was anything that could not appear in this era. She carefully checked that there was nothing wrong before leaving with everything.
After a while, her body, which had just recovered, started shivering again.
She hurriedly ran back to the hospital with her things. The old man was still sitting at the door. When he saw Bai Xue coming back with her things not long after she ran out, he only took a glance before looking away and ignoring her.
She managed to make it to the cashier before long. Since there was no one paying at this time, she quickly handed the things to Chen Qiyue.
“Please check your things! It’s definitely the right weight!” Bai Xue said as she placed the four bags of food in Chen Qiyue’s hands.
“That’s right. It’s good!” Chen Qiyue carefully took all the grains to her cabinet and hid them before coming out. She was afraid that someone would see them.
“Here’s your scented moisturizing cream!” Bai Xue handed the scented moisturizing cream in her hand to her.
Chen Qiyue opened the box and saw that it was indeed unused. She leaned over and took a sniff. A fragrance wafted over. She liked it very much. It was much more fragrant than Snow Cream.
“Okay, perfect! I’ll give you the money now!” As she spoke, she took out $12.50 from her pocket and handed it to Bai Xue.
“I’ll pay another $10 for the treatment. Just give me $2.50! Don’t forget to add the money to Bai Daliang’s billing records!” After saying that, she took the $2.50 from Chen Qiyue.
“Alright! By the way, my name is Chen Qiyue! Don’t forget me if you have anything good in the future!” The young nurse, Chen Qiyue, did not forget to tell Bai Xue her name. She hoped Bai Xue would remember her the next time Bai Xue had something good to sell.
She liked this scented moisturizing cream a lot. It was worth getting scolded by her mother for it.
“Sure thing! My name is Bai Ruxue! If I have anything else to sell in the future, I won’t forget you!” Bai Xue smiled mysteriously and said her name to show her sincerity before leaving.
She had been delayed for a long time. Her father was probably coming out soon.
Sure enough, when she went to the operating theater, she was told that her father had been sent back to the ward.
It was just a matter of a few stitches. It would definitely be fast!
When she found the ward, the staff had already put him on IV drip and Uncle Quanzi was accompanying him.
“Hi, Dad, Uncle Quanzi!” Bai Xue greeted the two of them and walked in. There were four beds in the ward, but the other three beds were empty.
“Xue, you’re finally here. Where did you go? Your father kept urging me to go out and look for you. I was just about to go out!” An Quanzi heard Bai Xue’s voice and looked up. Seeing she had returned, he quickly spoke.
“I went to pay the fees, but I lost my way, so I took some time!” Bai Xue’s embarrassment looked very convincing to them.
She walked over to the bed and looked at the pale Bai Daliang. “Dad, are you feeling better?”
“It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt anymore! Xue, Uncle Quanzi found hot water for you. Hurry up and drink a few mouthfuls to warm up!” Bai Daliang did not forget to show some concern about his daughter’s health.
“Alright! Have a good rest, Dad! I’ll go buy you some food later!” Bai Xue picked up the enamel cup on the table beside the bed and drank a few mouthfuls of warm water.
Originally, she was a little obsessed with cleanliness and would never use other people’s things. In this era, those things were not important anymore. She would rather not starve to death.
“Xue, can you accompany your father alone? I still have to go back and return the ox cart. This ox is very important to the battalion. I don’t want it to get sick or anything!” An Quanzi waited for her to drink a few mouthfuls of water before saying.
“It’s okay, Uncle Quanzi. I’ll be fine by myself, but don’t leave yet! I want to buy you something to eat. You can leave after eating!” Bai Xue hurriedly turned around and was about to leave.
