Qi Ling: We all wear modern clothes, so it’s reasonable to get rich, right?

This happiness lasted until the end of the day.

On the way back to the Educated Youth Office, she met Zhang Ye. She was in a good mood and took the initiative to say hello: "Zhang Ye, why are you alone? Chen Zhibin is not with you?"

Zhang Ye tilted his head and said nothing.

Yu Min looked at shit now and it smelled good, not to mention a handsome guy. He couldn't help laughing and rolled his eyes: "Huh?"

Pfft!

Zhang Ye's heart beat uncontrollably, and his ears suddenly turned red. He looked away in a panic, and whispered: "The captain asked him to help move some things."

Yu Min nodded without noticing: "Oh."

Zhang Lanfang was even more nervous and echoed: "Chen Zhibin is tall and strong, and he has a lot of strength. He is like a duck in water in the brigade and is much more popular than us."

No longer talking, the three of them walked towards the Educated Youth Office. As soon as they entered, Zhang Ye walked straight towards the dormitory.

Yu Min glanced at it and didn't care.

Had dinner.

Yu Min went to Bai Gu's house as usual.

Two little guys were digging at the mud in the yard. When they saw her, they immediately raised their smiles and said, "Sister Minmin."

"Miss Xiao Min."

Yu Min touched the heads of each one and gave them a lard candy.

"good!"

Entering the kitchen with ease, Bai Gu was making dinner. Yu Min took out 10 kilograms of white flour, 10 kilograms of rice and 2 kilograms of rapeseed oil, handed them over, and said first: "Brother Bai, I still have the money for yesterday's seafood." You can’t refuse An An and Nian Nian to replenish your health.”

Yesterday’s seafood also had a part of Mr. Bai.

She couldn't give him money.

I can only compensate others from these trivial aspects.

Bai Gu: "..."

After a pause, he reached out and took it: "Thank you."

Yu Min smiled: "That's right."

"I'm not going to catch the sea today, so I'll go back first."

"it is good."

……

Back in the dormitory, she went straight to 2023.

The book she read in the bookstore this morning left her unsatisfied.

When we arrived, it was just 7 o'clock sharp, and Xinhua Bookstore had not yet closed.

I asked the waiter and he said they closed at 9 o'clock.

There are still 2 hours left, so there is a lot to watch.

This time, she picked up a book about reform and opening up and quickly immersed herself in it.

I don’t know how long it took, but the waiter gently patted her shoulder: “Hello, madam, our store is closing.”

Yu Min suddenly said: "Oh, I'm sorry."

The waiter smiled gently and reminded her: "It's okay. If you haven't finished reading, you can continue reading tomorrow. Our bookstore opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 9 p.m."

"OK, thanks."

Standing at the door of the bookstore, Yu Min recalled what she had read, and suddenly felt a surge of pride in her heart.

Perhaps, I can also become a trendsetter of the times.

"Business cannot be done for the time being, but since I knew it in advance, I should save more money. After the reopening, I can take advantage of the opportunity to do business or buy houses and land across the country."

Yu Min clenched his fists to encourage himself: "Make money! Work hard to make money!"

It is easy to make money in 2023, but it was not easy in 1969. Today is still a planned economy, and private business is not allowed. If you are caught, it will be a serious crime of speculation. If it is serious, you will be shot.

But you can’t help but make money.

However, she didn't want to frequent the black market and increase risks for herself.

Naturally, Yu Min thought of Zhang Ye. He seems to have connections with the black market...

Maybe, but do business with him directly.

Yu Min did not make a decision immediately, and said to himself: "No hurry, let's take a look first."

……

out of the bookstore.

She did not go back immediately, but turned around and entered a 24-hour convenience store.

The bright white lights illuminated the entire store as if it were daytime. There were all kinds of goods on the shelves, and Yu Min couldn't take his eyes away.

This convenience store is completely different from the grocery store at the market.

The boss took the initiative and said, "Hello, what do you want to buy?"

Yu Min replied: "Excuse me, where are the instant noodles?"

"The third shelf on the right."

"OK, thanks."

"Braised beef noodles, spicy beef noodles, braised chicken noodles with mushrooms, pickled cabbage beef noodles, spicy and sour beef noodles...there are so many flavors, grab a pack of each to try."

During the checkout process, she picked up another bottle of soy milk drink.

It was exactly the one Grandma Liu gave her to drink last time.

"Total 21 yuan, WeChat or Alipay?"

"WeChat."

"The code is here, scan it."

"it is good."

After walking out with the bag, she didn't plan to go back, but went to the grocery store in the vegetable market.

The boss saw her and smiled: "Long time no see?"

"Ah."

Yu Min said: "Boss, do you sell kerosene lamps and lamp oil at home?"

She brought a kerosene lamp, which she had run out of in the past few days.

Lamp oil was supplied by ticket, and she could not light lamps without restrictions when she was in the capital, let alone in the countryside.

Everyone goes to bed early at night for this reason and does not want to waste lamp oil.

She remembered that the first few times she saw her grandfather, she didn't even look at the lights in the house. She was afraid that there wouldn't be any lights, so she thought about taking one with her.

"Kerosene lamp? Just wait, I'll look for it."

"it is good."

About ten minutes later, the boss came out carrying an old-fashioned kerosene lamp.

"Do you think this is okay? No one uses kerosene lamps now. I don't know when I bought it. It must have been several years ago."

Yu Min was extremely satisfied.

This kerosene lamp is similar to the one she is using now, and it has no label, so it is [-]% sure that nothing will be revealed.

"Okay, boss, how many do you have left?"

"Only 4."

"I bought them all. How much does one cost?"

"You can give me 20 yuan each." The boss said the price and then asked: "The kerosene was purchased together last time. It is only 200 liters. How much do you want?"

"It's all."

"Kerosene costs 6 yuan a liter, but you are an old customer. These things have been squeezed out for many years. It is considered to be a liquidation of inventory. Let's count it as 5 yuan a liter."

"You give me 1080."

Yu Min nodded readily, "No problem."

"Boss, get me two more thermos bottles. How much do they cost?"

"One is 60 yuan, two is 120 yuan."

"A total of 1200, transferred to you via WeChat."

"Ok."

finished buying.

When we left the vegetable market, it was already 11 o'clock.

She didn't linger, and went straight to the mountain and returned to the Educated Youth Office, it was close to 12 o'clock.

The next day, she didn't go to sea either.

After dinner, we went to 2023 and went directly to Xinhua Bookstore.

When I looked, I saw 9 o'clock.

When leaving, Yu Min was still a little reluctant to leave.

She was like a sponge, constantly absorbing and digesting the history of the Chinese country in the coming decades.

Leave the bookstore.

This time she went into a restaurant.

"Hello, what can I have something to eat?"

"I want a pork ribs and lotus root soup, and I want a chicken soup, take it away."

"Okay, wait a moment, guest."

This is for grandpa. He has just recovered and needs to take more supplements.

It was not convenient to stew soup in the cowshed. The smell would be too strong and would easily attract attention, so she would bring a ready-made soup there.
