Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

"She asked me whether the country would abolish the dual-track pricing system?" Jidong was confused. "What does that mean?"

Zhang Xiuhua was a little confused. Suddenly she realized that Xiangxiang must have thought that Jidong became the top scorer in the high school entrance examination because he was reborn. So she took the opportunity to test Jidong.

But Jidong is a kid, so how could he understand the dual-track pricing system, let alone when it would be abolished.

So she explained, "We now use a dual-track system for commodities. It is a price management system in which the same commodity has both a unified national price and a market-regulated price. This is formed by the simultaneous implementation of two operating mechanisms: planned regulation and market regulation. (1) For example, in the past few years, the prices of many commodities were the same across the country. In fact, this is unreasonable. Our northern region is good at growing grain, while the southern region is good at raising silkworms and cotton. There is obviously a transportation cost, but the prices are the same. Do you think this is reasonable?"

Jidong suddenly realized, "So this is what you mean."

Actually, it's not Jidong's fault that he doesn't understand. No matter how smart he is, he only learns from books. He knows this kind of life knowledge, but he doesn't know the nouns. Zhang Xiuhua knows because she was reborn. There is so much information bombardment in the future, so the knowledge she learned has been fragmented. She doesn't understand deeply, but the scope is wide.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "She just wants to know your opinion on this matter. You don't need to understand it."

Jidong nodded like a little man, "She said that the dual-track pricing system will be abolished in the future. Isn't the South piloting reform and opening up? Dad said that the prices there are very cheap. In fact, it is already different. It is only a matter of time before it is abolished."

"Yes." Zhang Xiuhua sighed. By then, many prices will rise sharply. Money will become worthless.

So she had to buy a house before that day came. There was no rush now, just wait a little longer.

As they were talking, Li Jianguo came back.

He was carrying large and small bags, which were bulging and obviously his own luggage. Of course, he would bring gifts for the children every time he came back. At first, he took corn from home to exchange for things from Damao, but later he did not bring the things back, but directly took them to the black market in the capital to resell them, and then exchanged them for money or gifts before bringing them back.

When the children who had just disappeared heard Li Jianguo's voice, they all popped their heads out, some ran out from corners, some ran home from outside, and some jumped out of the chicken coop.

"Dad? What delicious food are you going to buy me?" This is the voice of a talented and greedy person.

"Uncle Li? Did you buy me some nice clothes?" This was Baolin's voice. Yaoyao followed behind her.

Jidong was also looking forward to looking at Li Jianguo, but thinking that he had already received a precious gift and it would be impossible for him to have another one, he just watched.

Jilin and Zhuzhu ran over with chicken feathers on their heads, still gasping for breath, without saying a word.

Li Jianguo took out the gift.

The older children's expressions are hard to describe. They are also a little shy.

Zhuzhu and Jilin were a little confused and didn't understand what this meant.

Li Jianguo opened the bag and asked them to choose the color. Each child chose the color they liked. Then he demonstrated to the children that putting an air pump into the mouth of the balloon and hitting it a few times would make the plastic get bigger and bigger.

Zhuzhu finally recognized it and started chattering, "It's a balloon! I've seen it in a book!"

"Huh? So this is a balloon! It can be blown up so big! How magical?!"

Zhang Xiuhua sighed, feeling sorry for the two children who had never even seen a balloon after growing up.

Zhuzhu was playing in the yard with the blown-up balloon. After a while, she came back and said, "Dad! Why can't my balloon fly?!"

Li Jianguo explained, "It can only fly if there is hydrogen or helium inside. We blew air in, so it won't work!"

"Then why can't air fly?!" Zhuzhu was like a curious baby.

Li Jianguo's cultural level can only explain this. This problem will not be solved.

Jidong answered for him, "Because the density of hydrogen and helium is less than that of air. That's why they can fly."

"What is density?"

……

Li Jianguo stuffed the air pump into Youcai's hands, let the children play by themselves, and left the science area.

He carried the bag into the house, and Zhang Xiuhua followed behind. Li Jianguo handed her the purse. There was a thick stack of money inside, and when he opened it, he saw that it was all ten-yuan banknotes.

"I can earn hundreds at a time. No wonder they say profiteers make the most money." Zhang Xiuhua exclaimed. This is much more than her salary.

Li Jianguo also agrees with this. “Those people would rather go to jail than go to Mao. If they can’t make money, they wouldn’t have the guts to do that.”

Zhang Xiuhua felt that her golden finger was the most convenient way to do this, but she had to take care of her children, so she couldn't just go back and be a dealer for no reason, unless she revealed her space to Li Jianguo, but that was impossible. She had to take this secret to her grave.

"Do you think we can buy a house in the capital?" Zhang Xiuhua was not sure whether it was possible to buy a house in the capital at this time.

Li Jianguo really didn't know, "It should be possible, right?! Do you want to buy it?"

"Yes! Jidong will definitely go to the capital to study in the future. His grades are so good, he will definitely settle down there in the future. I will buy him a house so that he can relax more in the future." Zhang Xiuhua did not hide her plans.

Li Jianguo didn't expect that she had thought so far, and there was a little more appreciation in his eyes. He had met very few women, most of whom were village girls, and they were always confused about their future. Unlike Xiuhua, who had a firm look in her eyes and wanted to do something, she would do it. He smiled and said, "Okay. I'll ask for you. When Jidong comes back to our place, he will probably have to go to a big city, and it's impossible for him to settle down in Lijiatun. It's also good to buy a house in a big city. I can also marry a city wife in the future."

"That depends on him. I can't help him with getting married." Zhang Xiuhua put the money away with a smile. She took out the account book to record the account. She gave him 30% and reminded him, "You can also buy it for Youcai. This child will definitely go to a big city to work hard in the future."

Li Jianguo had never really thought about this question. He was a little hesitant. “When the children all leave in the future, there will be no one around to take care of them. What should I do?”

"Don't think like that. Can you rely on your child? You might as well rely on me! We'll take care of each other." Zhang Xiuhua said with a smile, "If it's like what happened to Li Xingjia, with his parents trying to stop him, then the father wouldn't be the father, and the son wouldn't be the son, and they would all become enemies. I don't want the child I raised with so much effort to hate me in the future!"

"I didn't mean to stop them. They can be chefs in any restaurant. Why do they have to go to a big city?" Li Jianguo thought the capital was good, but their province was not bad either. There was no need to go to other places and get bullied.

"In our small place, we rely on personal connections. How can we afford to find him a job as a chef in a restaurant? It would be better to let him go to a big city, where he can have a place with his own skills. The South has been reformed and opened up. There must be private restaurants. As long as his skills are good, the bosses will be scrambling to hire him." Zhang Xiuhua feels that having a skill is much better than doing hard labor.

Li Jianguo was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Xiuhua knew that he still had the old way of thinking and felt that he needed someone to accompany him. "Who can predict what will happen in the future? Maybe we will all go to the capital."

As the two were talking, they heard voices outside.

Baolin shouted outside, "Uncle Li, Mom, someone is coming home!"
