Xia Ran replied, "I don't accept small yellow croakers. It's too expensive to hold. One small yellow croaker is enough to exchange for two jars of Yuan Datou. Don't you know that other shops have Yuan Datou? Ask them if they will exchange them? If not, ask them if they are willing to exchange them for small yellow croakers. You can exchange them with them. After the exchange, bring them to me and I will give you cash. It will also be convenient for you to remit it."

Chen Huishi became excited when he heard this. This was indeed a solution: "Okay. Then when I take it, you must take it."

"That's no problem. I promise to keep it. There's no need to lie to you about this."

"Okay, I see."

The old couple went back in the night.

The two small yellow croakers in my hand should be used when the opportunity arises. It is not worth keeping them. Gold can indeed appreciate in value, but currency depreciation is more serious. It is better to use the money to make money.

Even if a Yuan Datou coin is sold for 100 yuan in the future, it will be a 100-fold profit. If it is sold for 1000 yuan, it will be a 1000-fold profit.

If you are lucky enough to get a rare one, you may get thousands or tens of thousands of yuan. She did read a report that a Yuan Datou was sold for 170 million yuan, but she didn't pay much attention to what the Yuan Datou looked like at that time.

It doesn't matter, just collect them all. If they can be sold at a high price, it means they must be scarce. If you see Yuan Datou coins that you have never seen or recognize, just buy them back.

What if you come across a few valuable ones? It would be more cost-effective than hoarding gold. Now one gram of gold is 62 yuan. If it increases 10 times, it will only be 620 yuan. She remembered that in later times, the price of gold was more than 200 or 300 yuan per gram for many years.

If we factor in inflation, we will have wasted decades of work. What you can buy with 62 yuan now will not be bought with 620 yuan in the future. So no matter how you calculate this account, you will lose money.

The next morning, Xia Ran went to the grave first and brought back the lantern. After settling the poultry at home and having breakfast, he planned to go into the city.

As a result, several women from neighboring villages came to exchange Yuan Datou and Ma Qian, and buy some things by the way. Who would have thought that Xia Ran opened a small shop, and the first thing that became popular was not the goods, but the exchange business.

He collected more than 100 Yuan Datou coins and more than 300 Ma Qian coins, and sold a lot of daily necessities. After sending the group of women away, Xia Ran rode his bicycle back to the city.

By the time we reached the city gate, it was almost 11 o'clock.

Just as I was about to ride across the bridge quickly, I heard a child's cry for help from afar: "He fell into the water, he fell into the water, help, help, help."

There was also the sound of a child crying loudly.

Xia Ran quickly rode across the bridge, threw her bike to the side, and ran towards the place where the call for help came from. When she got there, she saw two children struggling in the river, choking on a lot of water.

The two kids on the shore shouted and stretched out their hands, trying to pull each other up, but they couldn't reach them and cried anxiously.

"You two stand back."

Xia Ran scolded, took off his coat, threw his backpack aside, kicked his shoes aside, and swam towards the two children with a "splash".

Fearing that the children would cling to her blindly, Xia Ran went around to the back and held the two children up with her armpits. After swimming a few times, she tried to stand on the edge again. It turned out that the water was not too deep.

In the end, Xia Ran basically walked ashore with the two children. Several people working nearby also rushed over after hearing the cries for help.

When everyone saw the child was rescued, they collapsed on the shore. They were terrified. Fortunately, everything was fine.

There were also two parents who, seeing their own children on the shore but not in the water, grabbed their children and spanked them on the buttocks.

"Didn't I tell you not to play by the river? Ah, you never listen. I told you not to listen, and I told you not to listen." The child didn't cry, but the parent kept beating him while he was crying. He must have been scared to death.

The two children Xia Ran rescued were fine, they just choked on some water, but they were conscious. They were a little scared, their eyes were dull, they were staring blankly, and they didn't know what they were looking at, with no focus.

Xia Ran wanted to put the two children down, but they clung to her arms tightly and refused to let go. Seeing that the two children refused to let go, Xia Ran could only coax them to open their mouths and pour some water upside down.

A young woman came running over crying, and after a long while of coaxing one of the children away, she finally took one of the children away. After the woman checked the child, she felt relieved and knelt down to kowtow to Xia Ran.

"Big sister, you are my baby's second parent. I can't imagine what would have happened to my baby if you hadn't saved him..."

Xia Ran hid aside and helped the man up: "You're welcome. If anyone sees this, they will help. Stop kowtowing and take the child to the clinic or hospital to see a doctor, so that he won't have a fever."

Then he said, "Whose child am I holding? Do you know him? He won't come down. Why don't you send two people to come with me and take the child to the hospital for a checkup."

"I know you, I know you, let's go together."

The others finally came to their senses, their strength returned, their legs were no longer weak, and their eyes were filled with gratitude.

Xia Ran just remembered her coat, shoes and backpack. Seeing this, the lady took them for Xia Ran and helped her put on her coat. She also brought her backpack over.

Xia Ran was soaked. The old lady took off her coat and tied it around Xia Ran's waist, covering her buttocks.

Xia Ran put on her shoes and walked towards the bicycle. Fortunately, the bicycle was still there and had not been stolen.

A group of people gathered around and took the child to the nearest old Chinese doctor, who examined the child, listened to his heart and lungs, and said that he was fine and that the rescue was very timely.

But I still prescribed three doses of tranquilizing medicine and told him to take them home and try: "If possible, give the child a scare at night, as he may be frightened. Also, pay attention to see if he has a fever at night. As long as he doesn't have a fever, it's fine. If he does have a fever, bring him back to me."

Xia Ran asked: "Don't you want to take some medicine to prevent fever in advance?"

"No, medicine is poisonous. Don't take it if you are fine. Judging from the current situation, it is highly unlikely that they have a fever. It just happened to be noon when the temperature is high. The two children were just frightened."

The child in her mother's arms had a much more lively look in her eyes, but she looked a little listless and dull.

And the one in Xia Ran's arms, no one knew what the intention was. She held Xia Ran tightly and refused to let go, even when the doctor was examining her.

The key point is that Xia Ran and the baby were both wet, so they had to change clothes immediately.

After the examination, the young woman exchanged contact information with Xia Ran, and went home with the child to change clothes. The others went back to the village to inform the family.

Finally, Xia Ran had no choice but to go to the department store with the lady and buy a set of clothes for herself and the child.
