Yuan Nier quickly said to Xiao Ma, "Go back first. I see an acquaintance. Go over and say a few words."

There is not much in a small county, except for a lot of acquaintances. Half the people in the town are acquaintances.

Xiaoma didn't take it seriously, "Then hurry up."

Yuan Nier ran away, and by the time she reached the other side of the road, the old lady had already walked slowly into the alley.

"Auntie, auntie, please wait..."

"You called me? What's going on?" The old lady was very calm, holding a sack in one hand and a stove hook in the other.

This is a commonly used equipment for rag pickers. If you see something good, you can pick it up with a hook and put it in a sack. The hook can also drive away cats and dogs.

"Auntie, didn't you say you were going to another place?" Yuanni had a lot of doubts in her heart.

She had an intuition that the reason why the straw hat man appeared in this small county was probably not her, but the old lady.

The old lady snatched the food from the tiger's mouth. Could it be that she snatched the polyhedron seal from the man in the straw hat?

"I went, and now I'm back." The old lady pouted her teeth and smiled.

Yuanni was speechless. She really didn't say that she would never come back.

"Auntie, is your surname Qin?" She was ready to ask the question, and she had to find out the matter today.

"That's right. My husband's family name is Qin, and many people call me Aunt Qin."

"The house that caught fire on East Street a while ago, was it yours?" Yuanni first saw the straw hat man in Dan County on East Street.

Mrs. Qin was greatly surprised, "You still care about me?"

"Aren't you a frequent visitor to the buying station?"

"So that's what happened. The house on East Street is mine. It was an accident. You don't have to worry about it.

I said, daughter, you are still working at the purchasing station. I haven’t seen you for a while? "

"I still work there."

"Okay, thank you for your concern. When I collect the good things, I will ask you to sell them to you." After Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she gave Yuanni a friendly smile, carried a stove hook, and walked away again with her waist bent.

Looking at the old lady's leisurely back, Yuan Ni fell into deep thought.

As soon as the Straw Hat Man was driven away, the old lady appeared, indicating that the old lady had been hiding from the Straw Hat Man.The house she lived in before was burned down. Since she could hide, she must have another house.

The old lady is picking up rags everywhere. She must have poor financial conditions. If she is not well-off, how come there are so many houses?

All these questions were filled with questions, but it was a pity that Mrs. Qin didn't tell her.

The two parties are not very familiar with each other. Every time they meet, it is a business relationship. It is normal not to say anything, but it would be strange if they do.

Yuanni sighed regretfully, as long as it's okay.

Two days later, it was time for the night school exam. Yuan Ni had attended university in her previous life, and in the end she did not go to Teacher Zhang’s house to make up for classes. She just attended a few classes as normal before the exam.

Every time Teacher Zhang saw Yuan Ni, she always had a look of hatred on her face, as if she disliked her, and would neither come to class nor make up classes.

Looking at Teacher Zhang's eyes, Yuan Ni almost thought that she would not be able to pass the exam. It was not until the moment the paper was handed out that she relaxed.

The exam questions are not difficult, but there are no high school level syllabus.

Yuan Ni took a brush and wrote, "The test questions are not difficult, this is like night school."

After a few peaceful days, the second uncle and the fourth uncle wanted to go back.

Everyone else was okay, mainly because the second aunt took over Yuan Niniang's work and had to go to the veterinary station to support her.

Yuanni remembered something and asked her fourth uncle if he wanted to stay in the city.

"Think about it, do you know which factory is recruiting workers?" The fourth uncle immediately became energetic. He has a restless character. After returning from the provincial capital, he even went to the county hospital and wanted to continue working as a nurse to earn money.

However, there are also few people in the county hospital, and the patients have lived here for generations. The most indispensable ones are seven aunts and eight aunts, so there is no need to worry about no one to take care of them when they are hospitalized.

My fourth uncle was a little disappointed that he didn't get to work as a caregiver to earn extra money.

Yuan Ni explained the idea of ​​charging a management fee for watching bicycles, "This is not a business, it is just hard work."

When the fourth uncle heard about the bicycle, he immediately shook his head and said, "This job is not suitable for me. I can't sit still."

Now it was Yuan Ni's turn to be stunned. She originally thought that she could earn money just by sitting down, which was an easy way to work, but she didn't expect that there were still people who couldn't sit still.

Grandpa smiled and said, "This job is not suitable for men. It is prepared for old men like me."

Yuan Ni recalled carefully, not to mention that most of those looking at bicycles were old men.

"Nier, I can't see a bicycle, but I can repair bicycles. Can I set up a stall in the city to repair bicycles?" Yuan Nier raised her head, and the fourth uncle expressed his thoughts.

Nowadays, the only way for farmers to go to the city is to recruit workers. If they want to go to the city to set up stalls and do business, they are easily arrested as blind migrants.

Before Yuan Ni could speak, grandpa nodded, "Okay, actually, I've wanted to do the job Ni'er mentioned for a long time.

I've even chosen a place, it's right next to a department store. If I contract that place, I'll look at the bicycles there and you'll repair the bicycles there.We can also have a companion and take care of each other. "

When the fourth uncle heard what his father said, he scratched his head happily and said, "What a great idea, let's do it."

Grandpa's face fell and he spread his hands, "It's not that easy. Do you know how much the contract fee is?"

"how much is it?"

"Five hundred a year, three years in one go."

The guys immediately took a breath of cold air, that was 500 yuan, which was really a lot of money.

Yuan Ni thought for a while and was just about to say that I should advance the money, but her grandfather stopped her, "Nier, please be quiet. To do this, the fourth child and I must form a partnership, and both of us must pay the money." , if you get involved, it will be difficult to divide the accounts in the future."

Yuanni smiled and said, "Okay, I won't get involved."

The fourth uncle was immediately discouraged. He was really stumped by a penny.

During this period, my fourth aunt also made a lot of money by replacing rags, several hundred, but compared with the contracting fees, it was still far behind.

As for the second uncle and second aunt, they have just escaped from poverty. They are satisfied with more than ten yuan in cash every month. How can they have any spare money?

Yuanni thought about it, she still had to contribute to this matter, but instead of her giving the money, the money would have to fall on her fourth aunt.

That night, Yuanni went down to the cellar and found the jar that her fourth uncle had given her to hold pickles.

This jar is ordinary, but the base is hot to the touch, indicating that there is something hidden inside.

She held the jar and knocked open the house where her fourth uncle and aunt lived.

"Nier, are you okay? Come into the house quickly." The fourth aunt quickly let her into the house.

Mao Dan and Gou Dan'er were jumping on the bed. Fortunately, the bed was made of solid wood and was strong, otherwise it would have been split in half.

"Take the two children to wash their feet. This house is so stinky that you can't treat anyone else." The fourth aunt is a shrewd person. When she saw that Yuan Ni'er had something to say, she quickly sent the fourth uncle and the children to the house. They all paid out.

Yuanni then opened the flower cloth wrapping the jar and placed the jar on the table.

The fourth aunt looked surprised, holding the jar and looking at it, "This is the jar I put pickles in for you last time, and you brought it to the city?"

"Bring it here, Fourth Aunt, there is something in this jar, it should be valuable. I will return it to its original owner now and return it to you."

The fourth aunt never expected that a clay jar would have a hidden treasure. "You mean there is a treasure at the bottom of this jar?"

"It might be a treasure, or it might be gold or silver. It's hard to say. You won't know until it's broken. You make your own decision. Should you break it?"
