Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

107 Equivalent Exchange

Life was hard and her brother Chen Chunjiang worked very hard, earning eight work points a day. Chen Chunju made such a request because she wanted to help reduce the burden on the family.

"Okay, I'll give you my two cents."

Chen Chunju blushed, thinking that she had given too much, and whispered, "Aunt Ji, just give me one cent."

"One cent is too little. You earned it through hard work. I can't exploit you, otherwise I'll become an exploitative capitalist." Ji Qinglan comforted her and said to the other five people, "It's the same for you. You helped me cut grass, and I got work points. This is an equal exchange. If you don't want the candy, you can exchange it for money."

The other five people thought about it, and finally three of them exchanged one candy for one cent, and the remaining three exchanged it for money.

They are all sensible children.

However, in order to avoid trouble, Ji Qinglan still told them to go home and give the money to their parents and not to tell anyone else. If the captain knew about it, they would have no money to get and no candy to eat.

When the six children heard this, they immediately promised not to tell anyone else and asked their parents to keep it a secret.

Ji Qinglan nodded, hoping that these children and the parents behind them would not be stupid enough to spread rumors.

When they were about to part, Ji Qinglan whispered to Chen Chunju, "My family needs firewood. You can ask your brother to chop it. I'll give you three cents a load. But you can't tell anyone else. Otherwise, if someone else chops some firewood and brings it to me, I won't be able to accept yours."

Chen Hongju nodded rapidly. In an era when pork was 60 cents a pound, 30 cents a load of firewood was really too much. She knew that it was Aunt Ji who was taking care of her, so she quickly promised not to tell anyone.

There was firewood everywhere in the mountains and she could collect two loads every day.

Don't be fooled by her young age. She is actually ten years old. However, she has not eaten enough and has not grown taller for many years, so she looks only seven or eight years old.

After having lunch and resting for a while in the afternoon, Ji Qinglan carried his son up the mountain again and started practicing martial arts in the same place as yesterday.

When she came back in the evening, there was a load of firewood outside the gate. It should have been sent by Chen Chunjiang. The next day, she gave Chen Chunju three cents. The girl took the money, looked happy, and put it away carefully.

For children, mowing the grass is just for fun. In the past, they either went to catch fish and loaches or climbed trees to get bird eggs, and they would not go back until dark. But now it is different. With two cents hanging in front of them, they are full of energy and rush to get in, fearing that they will be slow and the money will be taken by others.

Not only did they not get any money, but they were also beaten when they returned home.

Therefore, the day's harvest was completed before ten o'clock. Ji Qinglan carried his share to hand in the work, and left work leisurely amid everyone's envious eyes.

He left his son at Zhang's house and asked Niu Guixiang to help look after him. He used the excuse that he had run out of soy sauce and was going to the county town to buy some.

She pedaled the bike very fast, and it was only eleven o'clock when she arrived outside the black market.

Well, let’s go ship the goods first, and then go to Luo’s house for lunch, perfect.

After winter, the system subsidies changed again. They no longer provided the urgently needed cotton, but instead gave away soap, bath soap, rubber shoes, rain boots... The subsidies changed every day, which was very thoughtful.

So, Ji Qinglan sent out another batch of goods, took out the bear meat and a bear paw, but did not take out the bear skin. She wanted to find someone to nitrate it and make a piece of clothing for Uncle Peng.

When Brother Shan brought his people here, he was not surprised to see a room full of things. After all, Ji Qinglan would give him a lot of things every time. The difference was that sometimes there would be rare stuff. He didn't even dare to ask Ji Qinglan where these stuff came from.

People in his line of work dare to eat anything.

He hopes to get more rare goods so that he can make more money.

Last time, he made more than 8,000 yuan with tears in his eyes from selling 500 watches, and more than 2,000 yuan from the flashlight.

Seeing the bear meat, Shan Ge's eyes lit up and he praised, "Sister, you are amazing! You can even get it from a blind bear."

"They were all hunted by the elders in the family. What's the price?"

"Pork is 50 cents, and I'll give 80 cents for bear meat. I just want to try something new. What do you think of this price?" Brother Shan asked nervously.

Ji Qinglan nodded, having no objection to the price, and pointed at the bear paw and said, "I'll give this to Brother Shan as a reward. Thank you for your help."

When Shan Ge heard this, he chuckled and said, "Thank you, sister. I won't be polite to you."

He never mentioned money because he knew Ji Qinglan had more money than him.

The scale of withdrawing money is smaller.

Shan Ge searched again and found that apart from 300 kilograms of bear meat, there was no bear gall and bear skin. He couldn't help but ask: "Why is there only meat and no bear gall? That's more valuable. And the bear skin, sister, give me that too!"

Ji Qinglan shook his head: "My family has made arrangements, so I won't sell it."

Although Shan Ge felt regretful, he could only say: "Then next time you have something, you must consider me! The price is negotiable."

Ji Qinglan didn't respond. She would be so unlucky if she met Old Bear again next time.

This time, Brother Shan gave Ji Qinglan twenty gold bars and twenty-five old items. Ji Qinglan inspected the goods and left quickly with the items.

When she arrived downstairs at Luo's house, she took out another five pounds of bear meat and a bear paw. Li Miaofang had just come back from get off work and was preparing lunch with Luo's mother in the kitchen. She was very happy to see her.

"Come in quickly." Luo's mother invited Ji Qinglan in.

When she took the bag from Ji Qinglan, Luo's mother scolded her: "Why did you bring things again? We have everything we need at home. You can keep it for you and Xin Cheng."

Ji Qinglan said mysteriously: "I just saw someone selling this on the road, so I bought some."

Li Miaofang came out of the kitchen and saw the bear meat and bear paws in the cloth bag. Her eyes lit up because she had seen and eaten these before.

"How much? I'll give you the money."

"It's not much money. I bought it for my uncle, aunt and children."

When Luo's mother heard this, her eyes were full of smiles. This child was too good at talking. However, their family couldn't take advantage of this orphan and his widowed mother. She asked Li Miaofang to give Ji Qinglan twenty yuan.

Ji Qinglan tried to persuade them that it would not cost so much, but the two insisted on giving it. In the end, Ji Qinglan only took ten yuan, saying it was the capital.

When Luo Hongxing saw Ji Qinglan, he was so happy that he served her tea and water and gave her melon seeds and candies.

Li Miaofang looked at her son's diligent appearance and felt that she had raised him in vain. She and Lao Luo did not receive such treatment when they returned home.

"Godmother, why didn't my brother Xincheng come? I missed him so much."

"He is at his godmother's house. I will bring him here next time. Is Hongxing well behaved at home?" Ji Qinglan took a sip of water and touched his head with a smile.

"I'm very well behaved. Grandpa teaches me to recite poems every day. Now I know how to recite them. I'll recite them to you..."

Ji Qinglan smiled, hugged the man in his arms, gave him a bag of peanut candy, and the two of them sat in the room, eating them one bite at a time.

When Li Miaofang came out and saw this, she almost had a heart attack. This son was raised by Jing Qinglan.

Luo Hongyu pushed the door open and entered the room. When she saw Ji Qinglan, she shouted and sat on a chair angrily.

Li Miaofang was a little unhappy. Her godmother came with such an attitude, and people thought she was not welcome.
