After the disaster

After the peak period for citizens of Xinnan City to exchange new currency basically passed, Qiu Chengcai and Ah Chang went to the postal savings bank nearest to Jiayuan Community to exchange new currency.

In addition to the ten-yuan banknotes with the highest denomination, they also exchanged a little change back. The minimum denomination of these changes is one penny. It is a small and thin banknote, but the workmanship is very delicate, and the patterns and colors on the banknotes are also very beautiful. Looks good, after Ah Chang came home, he put these banknotes on the coffee table one by one, and looked at them with great interest for a long time.

With the implementation of the new currency and the relatively sufficient supply of food, the entire market has gradually become active again, and China Mobile and China Unicom have also opened their doors to do business.

Although the past five years have been catastrophic years, human beings have not developed completely in science and technology. In this September, many electronic products have returned to the lives of Chinese people.

In particular, some new mobile phones are basically one for everyone now. Compared with the price of food, their prices are too low. More people play with mobile phones, and the Internet is more lively.

Qiu Cheng often goes online to learn some information.I heard from some netizens that this time their country sold a lot of food from other countries by selling the research samples of the "line of life".

You must know that research is also costly. After all, the number of "detoxification" given by Qiu Cheng through the hot air balloon and Yu Hongzhu was limited. In the past few months, even those research institutes that had obtained first-hand information , and now it has been exhausted.

And Qiu Chengzhi went to the south to spread the "elimination of hundreds of poisons", in addition to curing diseases and saving lives, it also provided sufficient research materials for some local research institutions. The water tower cooperates with the research. In addition to actively sampling in its own research institute, it also makes samples and sells them abroad.

It is said that they used these samples in exchange for a lot of food. Although the price of each sample is limited after all, but there are so many countries in the world, and each country has so many research institutes. The accumulation of small amounts of food can be imagined that they made a lot of money this time. how many.

With the activeness of the Internet, online shopping has gradually returned to people's lives. Unlike the previous situation where everyone only agreed with cornmeal, now because the government has opened warehouses to sell grain and set the prices of several major grains, the value of the new currency has also been improved. It is generally recognized by the general public that after the circulation of currency, online shopping will be much more convenient.

Qiu Cheng and his family also opened an online store, which specializes in selling all kinds of chili sauce and moldy tofu. In the past few months, the moldy tofu made by Wang's family can basically be opened now, and there are moldy tofu every day. Tofu for sale.

Regarding the sales of moldy tofu, the Wang family basically doesn’t care about it now. They have recently brought back the tofu business. It takes a lot of time to make fresh tofu and moldy tofu every day. Take the initiative to take over the sales of moldy tofu.

Now that he has someone under his command, at most Zhou Quan can hang up Ali Wangwang in normal times, and the work of packing and shipping can be done with them in a few clicks. Anyway, just selling one chili sauce is also selling, plus another moldy tofu Also sell it.

There are more transactions on the Internet, and the express delivery industry will naturally develop accordingly. At the beginning, it was a bit chaotic. Qiu Cheng and the others even lost goods. Later, several of the express delivery companies in their city gradually established their reputation. , the situation improved.

For example, if they send a courier within the same city in Xinnan City, the charge is generally only two cents, and a courier will receive and deliver the goods, and then deduct the part that needs to be handed over to the company, running twenty or thirty orders a day, basically Just enough to feed the family.

However, what Qiu Cheng and the others send the most is to the provincial capital. The express industry in the provincial capital is developing faster than theirs. Before the new currency was issued, there were already several express companies there. The scale has come, and Qiu Cheng ships there, and he has never encountered any loss or shortage of goods.

At noon that day, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang fed the pigs on the 1406th floor, came down from upstairs, returned to [-], took out some popsicles from the refrigerator, and sent them to the workers downstairs.

Now it has entered mid-September, but the weather is still hot. Looking out the window, the sun is still dazzling.Everyone was sweating after working for a long time. Seeing Qiu Cheng bring them popsicles, everyone seemed very happy, especially the two children from Aunt Chen's family and the child who lived on the ninth floor. .

The popsicles were bought by Qiu Cheng from the night market. The locals made them from mung beans. First, they boiled the mung beans with sugar until they were soft and sticky. The roots are only sold for a penny, and children in the city often pester their families to buy them.

Qiu Cheng and the others exchanged cornmeal when closing the stall, and the popsicle sellers were actually more willing to ask for cornmeal. If Qiu Cheng gave him a catty of cornmeal, he could give him fifteen popsicles.

When everyone was resting while eating popsicles, there were a few children running over and talking loudly at the stairs. As soon as they entered the room, they all yelled loudly: "Wow! Ah Chang, you are eating popsicles!"

Needless to say, these are the children of the Wang family. These girls and boys were sent back to the village by their adults a few days ago to help the elderly in the family harvest corn. The rest of the rations were sent to the city by their parents, for fear that they would be missed by others in the village.

"Come back from the village?" Qiu Cheng just knew they were back.

"Just arrived, I'm fine at home, come over and have a look." A Lei said like a little old man.

"I'm going to get the popsicles." Ah Chang got up and walked upstairs, and after a while, he came down with a popsicle for each of them.

"It's better in the city, there are popsicles to eat." The youngest girl named Xiaoyan sighed contentedly while nibbling on the popsicles.

"My mother said that there was an additional popsicle seller in the morning market recently, and they also have sugar water, and you can buy two for a penny." A Lei has always been well-informed.

"Mung beans are still delicious. I love mung beans." Xiao Ling said.

"It costs a penny a piece, my mother will definitely not be willing to buy it for me." Xiaoyan hummed.

"Ah Chang, let's go to our house to play cards at night, how about just stuffing popsicles this time?" Ajie said.

"Can you afford to lose?" Ah Chang now understands a little bit that the youngsters of the Wang family have always taken him for granted.

"How could we lose?" Ajie laughed triumphantly, and the other children also laughed, eating popsicles one by one, laughing heartlessly. After going back to do so many days of farm work, these few days This child is now darker than before, and when he smiles, he can only see a row of big white teeth.

"Bah." Ah Chang curled his lips, threw the stick in his hand into the trash can in the corner, touched his stomach, and felt a little full.

The popsicles these days are not the small ones like the ones they used to buy this time. The mung bean popsicles they bought this time are flat and about the size of an adult's palm. Although there are a little less mung beans and a little more sugar water, but It is also very good to gnaw on a hot day.

"Hey, hello." At this time, several formally dressed men and women came in front of the door. The youngest one seemed to be in his 30s, and the oldest one must be at least fifty.

"Who are you looking for?" Aunt Chen had already finished eating the popsicles and started to work. She picked up the pepper handles quickly with her hands and feet, and looked up at the person who came.

"Oh, we are from the No. [-] Primary School in the city. The children in our area are all assigned to the No. [-] Primary School in the city, and they will all study there from now on." At this time, those people had already entered the room. The place, after entering the few of them, seemed a bit crowded.

"It turns out to be the teachers of the school. Come on, please sit down." As soon as Aunt Chen heard that they were teachers, she didn't care that Qiu Cheng, the big boss, was still there, so she immediately put down her work and took a few A wooden basket was turned upside down on the side wall, and several teachers were invited to sit down and rest.

"Hey, thank you. We came out to visit today, just to inform everyone that our school will start registration on September 30th and end on October [-]nd. If you have children over seven years old in your family, please bring your ID at that time. ID card, go to school to sign up for textbooks.”

The teachers didn't dislike the upside-down wooden baskets, and sat down casually. In the past five years, they hadn't experienced any hardships, and now they are considered very good.

"Sign up, do you still have to pay the tuition?" Aunt Chen asked while rubbing her hands.

The two children of their family must be sent to study. If the tuition fee is expensive, she has to make up for it in advance these days. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Qiu Cheng again. Pay some wages in advance.

"Tuition and miscellaneous fees are all free, and book fees are also free. There are free school buses twice a day in the morning and evening. This is the current policy. If there are any adjustments in the future, our school will notify you later."

The older male teacher pushed his glasses, opened the folder in his hand, and asked, "Do you know how many children there are in your community and what grade they are in?"

"I know, I know, the two of us..." Aunt Chen said, and told the teachers about the situation of her two grandchildren.Then she briefly talked about the situation of several children nearby that she knew. Aunt Chen knew many people and was familiar with the surrounding situation.

"Didn't you say that registration will start on September NO.30, why do you have to register now?" Ah Feng and Lei also leaned over to have a look.

"We need to estimate the number of students first, so that we can prepare in advance and know how many classes a grade will have. You are also in this community." A female teacher next to him motioned them not to disturb the teacher who was talking to Aunt Chen .

"No, we are from the old street." Ah Feng said.

"The old street is also in the second primary school. How is your foundation? How many grades can you follow?" The older teacher finished talking with Aunt Chen, and then asked about Afeng and Alei's situation.

When they were all finished talking, Qiu Cheng asked the oldest teacher who seemed to be the most effective at speaking, "Do you accept older transfer students?"
