I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

"Tell me what you did when you went abroad? Was it fun?" Chen Xueru became excited.

"I go abroad to work, not to play. You have to make this clear. I prefer work." Cao Dongfang said nonsense in a serious tone.

"Tsk, you can't lie to me. Tell me about your experiences abroad!" said Chen Xueru.

"There's nothing much to say, it's just... some minor sabotage, it's not a big deal." Cao Dongfang roughly recounted what happened.

"Brother Dongfang, you are so awesome. You take all the good things from foreigners and neither take them away nor leave them for them. Well done! Foreigners will hate you to death." Chen Xueru said in surprise.

"It's no big deal. It will be fine in a year. After it happens a few more times, they will become familiar with it and won't care about it anymore." Cao Dongfang said calmly.

Chen Xueru: “…”

What do you mean, you just need to take it a few times until you are familiar with it? You take my things and I am not angry at all. This is really infuriating.

It’s interesting to think about how people in other countries get pissed off.

"Brother Dongfang, when will you give me that color TV and washing machine?" Chen Xueru asked.

brush!brush!

Just as Chen Xueru finished speaking, two cardboard boxes appeared in the sky... no... on the ground.

"A TV and a washing machine, I'll install them for you.

It is said that washing machines are not as clean as hand washing. You can try it, and if you don’t like it, you don’t have to use it. "Cao Dongfang said.

In those days, laundry was not washed by hand, and there were not so many different kinds of laundry supplies. Maybe washing machines are not as clean as hand-washed clothes.

"Ready, let me try. If the clothes are not clean, wash them by hand." Chen Xueru said.

After installing the TV and washing machine, the TV can be watched and the washing machine can be used. After teaching Chen Xueru and Wu Ma how to use the TV and the washing machine, everything is up to them.

.......

I arrived at Mr. Wei's house at two o'clock in the afternoon, but he was not there. He was busy doing nothing on a Sunday.

"Dongfang, you're back now. A month is not a short time. Is it hard? Is it dangerous?" Aunt Wei asked with concern.

"It's not hard and there's no danger. It's just that the place we go is a little far and it takes a little longer," said Cao Dongfang.

"I heard from Old Wei that you brought back a lot of good things for the country this time and made great contributions. It's good that you are okay. Safety is the most important thing." Aunt Wei said.

"There are quite a few things, all smuggled back. I've brought quite a few for you, too, one by one.

Where should I put the color TV, washing machine, and refrigerator?" Cao Dongfang asked.

"Color TVs, these are all foreign products. You didn't hand them over to the government for disposal?" Aunt Wei asked in surprise.

"I handed over 10,000 units to the country, and I have a few left for my own use. The others are still waiting to be shipped back to Guangzhou," said Cao Dongfang.

"You took so much. Foreigners have a lot of good things. I'll give you whatever money you spent." Aunt Wei said.

"No, it's free to get these things abroad, and the money from smuggling belongs to foreigners. I don't have money to buy these things." Cao Dongfang said.

"No money is required. This is when you go abroad to get things, not to buy things." Aunt Wei seemed to understand something?

“From the country to me, we are all poor, so we don’t have money to buy things, so we have to take some first.

They are relatively wealthy. I will be rich in a few years, so I will do whatever I want depending on my mood! "Cao Dongfang said.

Aunt Wei: “….”

I understand that you and the country are poor, and I understand that you have to go abroad to get things. But now that you are rich, you still have to do it based on your mood. I don’t understand that!

......

"This freezer is very good. It can freeze food and can be eaten for a month without any problem. There is no need to worry about the food going bad." Aunt Wei said.

"That's the purpose of the freezer. We can use it if we have leftovers, while other people..." Cao Dongfang shook his head.

"Too!"

"How about this washing machine?" asked Aunt Wei.

“I don’t know, I haven’t used it, but I guess it’s not as clean as hand washing.

Clothes that are not too dirty can be washed in a washing machine. You will know after trying it. It is not popular among foreigners. "Cao Dongfang said uncertainly.

"Color TV is still better. This one is big, has color, and the picture is clear." Aunt Wei said.

"If it's good, use it. It's better than black and white TV. TV is something people watch. There are fewer TVs and TV stations in our country, and fewer programs."

Cao Dongfang said.

"Aunt Wei gave you a set of jade and diamond jewelry and a set of cosmetics, all of which were bought from abroad." Cao Dongfang said.

"Jewelry and cosmetics. I'm old. This jewelry is so beautiful. I won't take it out now. Can I use the cosmetics?" Aunt Wei asked embarrassedly.

“Yes, what protects the skin is the finished product of traditional Chinese medicine.

That company is researching these things, and they sell women's cosmetics. These are for three months of use, and there will be more after three months." Cao Dongfang said.

"Dongfang, I don't want the jewelry, it's too expensive. I'd like to try the cosmetics instead." Aunt Wei said.

“The jewellery of the people in Hong Kong, they are all traitors, serving the Niu Niu people.

Their things are worth a lot of use. I didn't hand in any jewelry, I didn't have much. I handed in some gold jewelry, but the jade products are of little use to me.

It is impossible for the state to pay wages with jade jewelry. Except for women, no one else would care about these jade products. "Cao Dongfang said.

Jade jewelry is not brought but purchased from the system, and the same goes for cosmetics.

There are also those for Cao's mother and Chen Xueru at night. You can keep this thing if you don't want to wear it, but you should have it when you need it.

"How much is this set worth? It won't be less." Aunt Wei was a little worried that it was too expensive.

"If you don't spend any money on it, it's not worth a penny!" said Cao Dongfang.

Aunt Wei: “….”

What you said makes so much sense that I am speechless.

.......

After staying for two hours, I said goodbye to Aunt Wei and went home to cook!

"Brother, what are we having for dinner? Have you bought some drinks?" Cao Jiajia asked as soon as she saw Cao Dongfang coming back.

"I have dinner, but I didn't buy any drinks. They are not easy to buy. In the future, the country's ban will be more severe and they will be unavailable." Cao Dongfang lied to Cao Jiajia.

"Well, if you don't have it, then don't drink it. Mom said that these things will become less and less.

Oh! If I can't buy it, I won't drink it. Brother, just make a few more sweet and sour carp. "Cao Jiajia seemed to have known it long ago.

"Dongfang, you're back. Dinner has been bought." asked Cao's mother.

"I bought the vegetables, steamed buns as the staple food, and four dishes. I will cook at home tomorrow." Cao Dongfang said.

"Brother, do you have sweet and sour carp?" Cao Jiajia asked.

"No, there is steamed mandarin fish, you can eat more, and there is also sweet and sour pork tenderloin, Beijing-style shredded pork with small pancakes, and a vegetarian dish of three fresh delicacies." Cao Dongfang said.

"Sweet and sour pork is also fine. I'm not picky about food." Cao Jiajia was happy again when she heard sweet and sour pork.

"If you are not picky about food, you can eat steamed corn bread and pickles. I won't object." Cao Dongfang said.

"Hmph, bad brother, steamed buns and pickles are not tasty. I have eaten them and you can't fool me!" Cao Jiajia said reasonably.

"Student Cao Jiajia, your food ration means that you can only eat steamed corn bread and pickles." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"Why?" Cao Jiajia asked when he didn't understand.

"Because you are poor and have no income, you have no money to buy delicious food. Be good in the future and behave yourself when you see me.

You will have delicious food, do you hear me?" Cao Dongfang said.

Hahahaha!

"Dongfang, stop teasing Jiajia. Jiajia, if you want to eat well in the future, you have to behave yourself." said Cao's mother.

"I understand. I don't have a job and I have no money." Cao Jiajia said dejectedly.

"Mom, this is for you." Cao Dongfang said, and gave Cao's mother several large boxes.

"What is this...jade jewelry? Is this imperial green jewelry? It's so beautiful." Cao's mother said, staring at the jewelry.

"It should be. It's free. I got it from a traitor in Gangcheng. It's new and no one has used it. You can keep it." Cao Dongfang said.

"This is sapphire jewelry. It's so beautiful, and the craftsmanship is also good!" said Cao's mother, looking at the second set of jewelry.

"They are both okay. This set was made by Westerners. They prefer diamonds and gems. Jade is more popular among Chinese people!" said Cao Dongfang.

These hand jewelry are exchanged from the system. They are the best in both quality and appearance. You can't buy them in stores at all!

Absolutely not available!

These jewels are worthless now, and their prices are far lower than those in later generations.

In this era, money is valuable, but jewelry is not so valuable. It is not even enough to eat!

Buy wool jewelry!
