Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days
Chapter 76 Silver Dollar
Not long after Zhang Xiuhua left, she ran into the thin white man head-on.
He looked a little anxious, "Um...your spinach?"
He looked at her basket hopefully. Although Zhang Xiuhua didn't know what was in his bag, it looked like it should be worth some money. So he opened the basket and said, "I didn't dare to bring the spinach here just now. I wanted to ask you to trade it somewhere else. You wait here for me. I have a fellow villager with me. The spinach is with him."
The man had given up hope when he saw her standing at the entrance of the alley. Those patrolmen were the type who would not leave empty-handed. Spinach was also a good thing, so how could they let it go so easily? When he heard that she didn't bring spinach with her, his eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
When she was far away, the man remembered that he had thrown his belongings in the alley. He turned back to look for them, and sure enough, they had been picked up by the patrol.
He returned disappointed and thought about going back to get some more things, but he was afraid that Zhang Xiuhua would suddenly come back and he would miss her again.
The man waited and waited, and soon Zhang Xiuhua showed up. He secretly thanked God that he didn't go back, otherwise he would have missed her.
He just scratched his head awkwardly, "Big sister, I just threw my stuff in the alley and it was picked up by the patrol. I..."
He probably had never done anything on credit before, and his fair face turned red.
Zhang Xiuhua didn't know what was in his bag and was worried that it was just a pile of scrap metal. She would suffer a loss later, so she waved her hand and said, "It's okay! You can pay me next time we meet."
The man didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to, and he was touched. "This... I'm really sorry. I'll give it to you next time. By the way, I live in Wufu Lane, you can come to my house next time you come. My name is Zhou Boda."
Zhang Xiuhua muttered a few words, "What a good name!" and then told him her alias, "Chun Ya."
Zhou Boda guessed that this was not her real name, but he didn't mind. After all, she was engaged in speculation and taking great risks, so she definitely couldn't tell her real name.
Zhang Xiuhua opened the cloth on the top of the basket, revealing most of the basket of spinach.
Zhou Boda's eyes lit up surprisingly. The spinach looked fresh and tender, and it was obvious that it was a carefully preserved premium product. He simply put his shirt in his pocket and let Zhang Xiuhua pour the spinach up.
His clothes were not clean, but Zhang Xiuhua was not afraid of getting them dirty, so she poured them on as he requested.
After selling the spinach, Zhang Xiuhua went straight home.
Before entering the village, she saw a group of people standing at the entrance of the village from afar. When she got closer, she found that they were villagers sending Li Xingye back to the provincial capital.
Li Xingye only comes back once every few years. This time he can stay at home for a week, which is already a concession from his superiors. If he doesn't go back, his salary will be deducted.
Li Xingye's mother Zhou Cuilan held her eldest son's hand with tears in her eyes. Old man Li was not much better than her, and he also secretly wiped away tears.
Li Xingye persuaded one and then the other, "Mom and Dad, I will definitely find time to come back and see you in the future."
The old couple still cried, "Remember to bring your wife and children with you next time you come back."
"Yes"
Finally, Li Xingye rode on Hongbing's bicycle. The captain's bicycle was never lent out. It was the captain's lifeblood, and he would rather let his son give it away than lend it to others.
The two disappeared at the end, and Zhou Cuilan burst into tears, "What's the point of raising a child? You only get to see your child once after you've established a family and a career for several years!"
Hearing her complain, the captain frowned and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about. Xingye is contributing to the country, this is an honor!"
Zhou Cuilan was so scared that she started burping and her crying stopped for a while.
Old man Li explained to the team leader, "The mother can't bear to part with her child."
"I know. But the children are grown up, so we have no choice but to let them go out and explore. Although Xingye is not at home, he is so filial and sends money back every month. You should be content."
Zhou Cuilan and Old Man Li responded hesitantly.
Only An Rou, who was holding her belly, seemed to be thinking about something. Her belly was not yet noticeable, but being pregnant with twins, it looked a little bigger than others.
Her father stayed in the village for two days and then left. Shanghai is too far away, and all his time off was spent on the road. But he said he would come back after the baby was born.
The team leader took advantage of the crowd and shouted to everyone, "Tomorrow at ten o'clock, all members will hold a meeting to discuss plowing the land."
After the spring, the team had to plow the land and plant wheat, and then plant corn, peanuts, soybeans, etc.
A member asked, "Captain, do we no longer need to make popcorn sticks when we plow the fields?"
"Yes!" The captain nodded, "Starting from tomorrow, we will stop until we finish planting the crops."
Zhang Xiuhua touched her chin. The order from the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative was gone, but the Red Heart Commune still had 80 kilograms of tofu, and they still needed it. Who should she send to deliver it?
When she got home, Zhang Xiuhua told the two educated youth about her troubles.
Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying looked at each other, neither of them answered, because Hongxin Commune was in the opposite direction of the commune they were going to.
"We have to go back to work after delivering the tofu. We can't be late."
Zhou Pandi touched her chin and said, "I think we can't be so passive. We can find someone to help us deliver the goods."
“But everyone in the village has to go to work.”
Zhou Pandi sighed, "It would be nice if there were people from the city."
There are many people in the city who don't have jobs and can't meet the conditions for going to the countryside, so they can only rely on their parents at home. If there is a job, even if it is temporary, they will be happy.
But Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying were both educated youth and didn’t know such people at all.
Zhang Xiuhua didn’t know them either. She was even worse than the two of them. She had only been married for a short time.
Zhang Xiuhua thought they didn't need to worry. "When the weather gets hot, we won't be able to sell tofu, and we won't have to deliver goods. I'll do it tomorrow. I'll go borrow a bicycle from the team leader."
Although she knew the chances were slim, she shamelessly borrowed money. If it didn't work, she would think of other ways.
Zhou Pandi nodded.
The matter was settled. Zhang Xiuhua returned to her room.
I had bad luck today. I only sold one order and I don’t know if I’ve made a loss yet.
After entering the space, Zhang Xiuhua quickly found Zhou Boda's package.
When I picked it up, it made a jingling sound. What was this thing? It felt quite heavy when I picked it up.
Zhang Xiuhua opened it and found that there were silver dollars inside. Some were Guangxu Baoyuan and some were from the Republic of China, all with a face value of one yuan.
She frowned, remembering that the bank could exchange silver dollars at that time, one silver dollar for one dollar. Why didn't Zhou Boda take it to the bank?
Thinking of his hunched body, Zhang Xiuhua sighed and had an idea in her mind.
She counted them and found that there were five silver dollars and the rest were copper coins, most of which were ten cents or ten dimes.
Zhang Xiuhua had never collected these ancient coins in her previous life, so she really didn't know how much they were worth.
After Jidong became rich, he collected antiques and paintings, which appreciated greatly. I have never seen him collect silver dollars.
She did hear him say that Yuan Datou was valuable. But she looked through the five silver dollars over and over again and couldn't find Yuan Shikai's head.
She calculated based on the current price, half a basket of spinach was exchanged for five dollars, she also made a lot of money. Well, next time she goes to town, she can bring some eggs to Zhou Boda. His wife is sick, and she probably needs eggs to supplement her diet.
