Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

Luo Hongyu didn't have so many complicated thoughts. When she heard her godmother say that the house could be rented out after a simple renovation and then demolished in a few years, she happily went to buy the house.

Xu Yingqiu and Song Li did not buy so many gifts, as they had relatively more money, so they each chose two sets of two items.

Jiang Xu, Xiao Shuyan and Jin Wenzhe also followed suit and bought a house.

In the following years, in addition to their studies, they all studied foreign language materials like crazy, learned multiple languages, and worked as part-time translators during both winter and summer vacations. Although they did not earn as much as the first time, they still gained something.

After I have money, I renovate the house and then buy another house, and the cycle continues.

During the summer vacation of their junior year, Ji Qinglan helped them buy a house again, and was amazed by their wealth.

There are six people, and each of them has three houses on average. Luo Hongyu has the most, with five houses of various sizes. Together with the one bought by Li Miaofang, there are six houses in total.

Even Song Li, who has the worst conditions, is a landlord who owns four properties.

During his junior year, Ji Qinglan and his classmates in the Department of Cultural Relics followed Professor Gu on an internship and participated in several excavation and restoration activities.

Ji Qinglan would also use his free time to travel around and buy some items, both real and fake, so that the stock in his system backpack would slowly see the light of day.

The setting sun, the last ray of dusk light enveloped the quiet village.

On the country road, people carrying hoes and buckets of water are walking home with tired steps, and the golden glow behind them casts a layer of golden light on them.

The once bustling youth settlement has become quiet, and the youth who once lived there have left through various means.

Zhang Jianguo rode his bike back to the Honghe Brigade. People on the passerby looked at him with envy when they saw a large snakeskin bag tied to the back seat of his bike.

"Jianguo, did Ji Zhiqing send you something again? It's such a big package, it contains a lot of good stuff!"

Zhang Jianguo smiled, said nothing, stepped on the bicycle hard, and sped away.

Those who stayed behind were whispering to each other.

"The family made a great profit by having this godparent. Ji Zhiqing sent them gifts every now and then, and I have never seen patches on his children's clothes."

"Who said it wasn't? The Zhang family is really lucky." His tone was indescribably sour.

Zhang Jianguo parked his bicycle in the corner and walked into the main room carrying the bag.

Smoke was rising from the kitchen. Secretary Zhang was sitting on the doorstep smoking a pipe and watching the four children playing in the yard.

When the four children saw Zhang Jianguo coming back, they all surrounded him and called him dad. The two younger boys, who looked exactly the same, with chubby heads, were pulling at Zhang Jianguo's trouser legs, trying to climb onto him.

"Dad, Dad! Ride a horse~"

"Let go, let go, stop pulling my pants."

Zhang Jianguo quickly took out four candies from his purse and gave them to his eldest daughter. If he was any slower, his pants would have been pulled off by those two naughty monkeys.

Ni'er took the candy, but the other three children were unmoved. The second daughter, Nannan, looked at the snakeskin bag that Zhang Jianguo was holding.

"Dad, did my godmother send us something? I want new clothes, not candy."

"I want roller skates." Nier shouted.

Niu Guixiang often makes candy, but the candy cubes are not very attractive to the children.

"Wait until your mother comes back to see you. Go and eat some candy, or I'll call your mother." Zhang Jianguo had no choice but to bring his wife into the picture.

After hearing this, the four of them obediently went to share the candy, but their eyes were fixed on the bag in Zhang Jianguo's hand.

Zhang Jianguo put the big bag in the main room and also sat on the threshold, with Secretary Zhang sitting on his left and right, like two squatting door gods.

"The doctor told you not to smoke, why are you smoking again?"

Secretary Zhang took a sip of his food slowly, but before he could say anything, Niu Guixiang, who came out of the kitchen to serve the dishes, answered for him.

"Your dad had a craving for cigarettes, so he rolled a piece of paper to satisfy his craving."

Zhang Jianguo couldn't help but take a closer look, and was relieved when he found that it was indeed a blank piece of paper.

A year ago, Secretary Zhang suddenly fell and suffered a cerebral infarction, which scared the whole family. Zhang Jianguo sent him to the provincial capital and finally rescued him. He has been recuperating at home for more than a year and is finally getting better.

Able to walk and jump, and conscious.

Secretary Zhang fell seriously ill, so naturally he could no longer continue his work as the brigade secretary.

When Zhang Jianguo learned that his wife had gone out to fetch water, he walked out immediately. Sure enough, he found Liu Yumei carrying water on her way home on the ridge of the field.

"Didn't I tell you that I would come back to carry it? Why are you carrying it again?" Zhang Jianguo took over the carrying pole, walked in front, and complained.

"It's because of your two sons that they went to the pond to take a bath and got covered in mud. They used up all the water in the jar. If you didn't fetch water, there would be no water for dinner at home."

"These two little bastards, go back and deal with them." Zhang Jianguo said angrily.

Liu Yumei glanced at the man in front of her, rolled her eyes and said nothing. Every time this man said he would hit her, he really did it. In the end, he was the good father and she became the bad mother.

When the two returned home, Niu Guixiang had already put the food on the table. The two twin brothers were restless while eating, fighting and making noises, and the chopsticks in their hands flew to the other side.

Compared to them, Ni'er and Nannan were much more obedient. They sat properly and ate seriously.

"Eat." Liu Yumei gave them a sharp look, and the two boys immediately became obedient and ate their food quickly.

"Eat slowly and have some vegetables." Niu Guixiang kept putting vegetables and meat into the two people's bowls.

The table became quiet only after the four children finished eating and went off to play.

Secretary Zhang took a bite of the rice slowly. His hand holding the chopsticks was shaking a little, but he tried his best to control it. He waited until he swallowed the rice in his mouth before he spoke.

“How much did you sell today?”

"Eight dollars and sixty cents." Zhang Jianguo lowered his head to eat without raising his head.

Liu Yumei frowned when she heard this, thinking that the income was a little low, but she didn't say anything.

In the past, they sold them secretly on the black market and could earn 20 to 30 yuan each time. Now that the market is better, they don’t have to worry so much, but more people are doing business, so their business has been hit and is naturally not as good as before.

They are cheap, and others sell cheaper than them.

I sighed inwardly and ate in silence.

Secretary Zhang spoke again: "I heard from Lao Li that some places are implementing the policy of distributing land to households, and it will be implemented soon here."

"Yeah, I heard about it too. I heard that after the autumn harvest, we will divide the land here. By then, there won't be so many people cheating among the various fields." Zhang Jianguo said.

Niu Guixiang began to worry, as she thought that dividing the land among households was both a good and a bad thing.

Take their family for example. There are many people eating but few working. The two old people cannot get out of the fields and have to rely on Zhang Jianguo and his wife. They must be exhausted to death.

In the past, the family had two salaries, so they never had to worry about food and clothing. Unfortunately, Secretary Zhang’s illness not only used up the family savings, but also caused him to lose his job.

And his son also lost his position as militia captain.

The family suddenly lost its source of income.
