Reborn in the 70s, doing whatever it takes to make money

It has a black back and a yellow bottom, and is as big as a basin.

It weighs at least eight or nine kilograms.

Obediently~

Such a big wild turtle is very rare in future generations. It costs more than 100 yuan per catty at least. It is impossible to get such a big one for less than 1000 yuan. Of course, this is the price of future generations, and people today despise it. Soft-shell turtles don't have much meat and are not rare at all. Especially rural people don't like to eat them.

Xu Qing stared at the big-faced turtle.

He swallowed quietly.

"Old man, can you sell your turtle?"

Xu Qing asked immediately after seeing her old man putting the turtle into another fish basket.

The old man raised his head and looked at Xu Qing differently, "Girl, this turtle has no meat. If you want to eat fish, I will give you some crucian carp."

"No, no, no, old man, I want this turtle. You tell me the price and I'll give you the money."

Xu Qing quickly took out the money Xu Qing's mother had given her before leaving.

A total of one dollar and seventy-five cents.

"Old man, I don't have much money on me, only one dollar and seventy-five cents in total." Xu Qing said.

The old fishing man waved his hands repeatedly, "Girl, please keep the money. This turtle is really not a good thing. If you really want it, I will give it to you for free."

"No."

Xu Qing was resolute and forced the money to the fishing old man, then turned around and ran away with the fish basket containing only turtles.

"Old man, please lend me this fish basket for a while."

"Girl, I really can't help it. This money can buy two kilograms of pork. Old man, I can't take advantage of you..."

The old fishing man took the money and chased after him.

But his speed was not as fast as Xu Qing's.

Xu Qing ran to the willow tree, greeted her second brother and third brother and pushed the cart away in a hurry.

"Old man, go back."

Xu Qing waved back.

……

"Little sister, what's in your fish basket?"

The second brother asked.

"you guess."

Xu Qing smiled mysteriously.

The third brother said with certainty: "It must be a fish."

The second brother said: "Little sister, if you want to eat fish, I will go down to the river to catch it for you when I get back."

Yesterday, after the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law successfully borrowed food from their parents' family, they told the second brother and the third brother when they returned. After the second brother and the third brother knew that it was Xu Qing's contribution, they were very grateful to Xu Qing, and during this period, Xu Qing treats Da Ya and Er Ya very well.

Although Da Ya Er Ya and the others cannot go to school, Xu Qing will take time to teach Da Ya Er Ya and the others alone.

The second brother saw everything Xu Qing did and was sincerely grateful to Xu Qing.

"Second brother, I won't be polite to you. If I want to eat fish, I will definitely ask you to catch it as soon as possible. However, this fish basket is not filled with fish, but turtles."

Xu Qing said.

"Squid? Little sister, turtles don't have much meat, and they are very fierce. You will be bitten by them if you are not careful. You have to be careful." The second brother kindly reminded me.

"Mmmmm~"

Xu Qing nodded repeatedly and followed the cart, walking slowly.

Xu Qing and the others walked on the mountain road forty or fifty miles, stopping and walking, for a total of five or six hours.

We set off before five o'clock in the morning, and it was already close to noon when we arrived at the brick and tile factory where my eldest brother was working.

Red Star Brick and Tile Factory.

The thick chimney was emitting black smoke.

In this era, there is no awareness of environmental protection, let alone so-called environmental protection equipment. Fortunately, there are fewer factories in this era, and there are fewer polluting factories. Even if they are not controlled, the pollution to the environment is extremely low.

There were many cars parked in front of the Red Star Brick and Tile Factory. Apparently, the business of the brick and tile factory was quite good.

"Second brother, third brother, please wait here while I go to the guard room to ask."

Xu Qing said this and came to the guard room at the entrance of the brick and tile factory. There were two older people sitting in the guard room.

"Little girl, who are you looking for?"

A guard saw Xu Qing outside the guard room and asked quickly.

Xu Qing smiled sweetly and said: "Hello, uncle, I'm looking for my eldest brother, his name is Xu Jianjun."

The guard obviously knew that Xu Jianjun was there. He said oh, then looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Little girl, we get off work in 10 minutes. The sun outside is very hot. Why don't you come in and sit down?" Just wait for a while.”

It was not only sunny outside, but also very hot. Xu Qing chased her all the way, and her clothes were wet, dry, and then wet again.

Xu Qing quickly thanked: "Thank you, uncle, but I am not alone, I have two brothers~"

"What's the matter? Let your two brothers come in together, have a cup of tea, blow on the fan, and cool down."

The security guard was very nice and did not dislike Xu Qing and the others for coming from the countryside. He warmly welcomed Xu Qing and the others into the guard room to rest.

Xu Qing quickly waved to her second brother and third brother to come over.

The cart and wheat were placed outside the guard room, and Xu Qing and the other three entered the guard room.

The windows of the guard room are all open, providing ventilation from the north to the south. A large fan is hung on the roof, whirring and rotating. The whole room is cool, and the wind feels cool on the body.

Xu Qing, who was sweating profusely from the heat and her face was red, felt like she was alive again under the fan, enjoying the cool breeze.

The second brother and the third brother were staring at the rotating fan on the roof with strange expressions.

This was the first time they had seen such a thing.

There is no electricity in Hongqi Village, let alone electric fans.

"Second brother and third brother, this is an electric fan."

Xu Qing whispered to her second and third brothers.

Then, she added: "When our village gets electricity, we can also install an electric fan at home. From now on, we will no longer be afraid of the heat in summer."

The second brother said: "Little sister, we still don't know when our village will receive electricity."

Xu Qing thought for a moment and remembered that someone in her previous life had told her that Hongqi Village seemed to have received electricity in 1999 or 2000. Anyway, it was very late. Many areas with better development had already received electricity in the past seven or eight years. However, Hongqi Village is located in a remote and backward mountainous area, and access to electricity was many years later than other areas.

"No, believe me, our village will have electricity soon."

Xu Qing's tone was firm.

Now that God has allowed her to return to this era, she not only wants to change the fate of her relatives, but also the fate of her hometown. She wants to make the small village in Shanqiaoli a pearl that cannot be ignored on the Chinese territory.

"get off work."

The doorman suddenly said something.

Xu Qing raised her head and looked outside, and sure enough, workers were walking or riding bicycles.

The second brother and the third brother looked at the bicycle under the worker, with undisguised envy on their faces.

They also want to own a bicycle.

Bicycles in this era are in short supply. Purchasing bicycles requires not only money, but also bicycle tickets. Even if farmers can raise enough money by selling iron and steel, they will not be able to get a ticket if they lack confidence.

In the entire Hongqi Village, only accountant Lu owns a bicycle, not even the secretary or team leader.

"Brother is here."

Xu Qing's eyes lit up and she saw her elder brother in the crowd.

The eldest brother actually rode a bicycle.
