Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

The spring plowing of Xiaohe Production Team has finally ended, and the villagers can take a two-day break to work on their own private plots.

The next day.

Lin Shu woke up at dawn and found that Liu Xiao'e had gotten up earlier than her and was already sitting in the kitchen boiling water and making porridge.

"Mom, why did you get up so early? We have finally finished the spring ploughing. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"We are old and we don't sleep as much as you young people." Liu Xiao'e pointed to the small iron pot on the stove at the end. "There are a few steamed potatoes in the pot. You can eat them slowly on the way. I have filled the kettle with boiled water for you."

Lin Shu fetched some water to wash up, "Is there anything you want to buy at home?"

"We have everything at home. If Haiyan asks you to go to the supply and marketing cooperative with her, you can buy a few bags of salt."

If there is not much salt at home, you can add a few packets.

"Okay, I'll buy it then."

Liu Xiao'e was afraid of what she would say, "What do you mean buy it when you see fit? Are you afraid that the mice can't keep the food overnight, and you have to spend the money you get from selling herbs on the same day, right?

Money is hard to earn nowadays, so you should learn to save the money you have. You are so loose-handed, will you be able to save money when you get married and start a family?"

Lin Shu splashed the water he used to wash his face into the ditch in front of the house. "Mom, I know that the wealth of the poor is accumulated, but the premise is that we can't lower our living standards. You said that you don't want to eat or wear for your whole life, so why do we work hard to make money?"

In her previous life, in order to raise her son and save money for his schooling, she lived frugally, not wanting to eat or wear anything. In the end, when she was old enough to enjoy her later years, she was back to being penniless again.

I had poor health in my previous life, so all my efforts were in vain.

I won’t be extravagant or wasteful in this life, but at least I should eat and drink when I should, and I shouldn’t skimp on food, drink and clothing.

"What for? It's all for this family!" Liu Xiao'e didn't understand Lin Shu's thoughts, but she said it with confidence. Parents are busy all their lives just for their children.

Lin Shu checked the Polygonatum odoratum in the backpack, covered it with a sack, and put a kettle on it so that he would not be afraid of being seen by others.

Seeing her packing her backpack, Liu Xiao'e told her, "When you sell this Polygonatum, find an excuse to carry your Aunt Niu and the others on your back."

"I know." Lin Shu glanced at her and teased, "You and Aunt Niu get along well, so why did you let me do this behind their backs?"

Liu Xiaoe rolled her eyes and said, "Don't show off your wealth. People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. I know your mother well."

"Okay, I got it." Lin Shu heard footsteps coming from outside. It should be Aunt Niu and Lin Haiyan coming over.

Sure enough, after a while, Lin Haiyan's voice came from the door, "Lin Shu, are you okay?"

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Lin Shu picked up the backpack, waved to Comrade Liu Xiao'e, and quickly walked out the door.

Lin Haiyan saw Lin Shu carrying a backpack, "Lin Shu, why are you carrying a backpack? Are you going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something?"

"Bring a backpack just in case. My mom asked me to buy a few bags of salt and soap because we are running out of them at home."

In fact, as soon as she put the basket on her back, she transferred the Polygonatum sibiricum in the basket to the system and sold it for 41 yuan.

Telling her family that selling Polygonatum sibiricum in the village was just an excuse. She could sell it to the system for money to avoid risks, and there was no need for her to sell it in reality.

On the way out of the village, Lin Haiyan noticed that Lin Shu's clothes were all newly made. "Lin Shu, when did your mother buy the fabric for you? Is this fabric Dacron?"

Only then did Lin Shu notice that Lin Haiyan was wearing a 90% new pure white Dacron shirt and a pair of black pants.

She looked down at the clothes she was wearing and said with a smile, "This is not made of Dacron, it's made of cotton."

The style is very simple, a simple shirt style with a small stand-up collar, which is very concise whether in later generations or now, and is a classic style.

"You look so energetic in this shirt." Lin Haiyan looked at her shirt with envy and said, "Lin Shu, do you think this shirt looks good on me?"

"nice."

Outside the village, there are many people going to the market after spring ploughing, walking in groups of three or four.

Aunt Niu might have considered that she didn't want to let the villagers know about Haiyan's blind date, so the three of them traveled alone from Xiaohe Village to the township, and did not travel with people they knew.

As they were about to enter the township, Lin Haiyan began to feel inexplicably nervous.

"Lin Shu, is it really impossible for you and Jie Chunlei to get married?"

Lin Shu didn't expect her to ask this question suddenly, "There is no possibility for him and me. His mother has always looked down on our family. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to wait so many years."

Lin Haiyan thought about Lin Shu's age and realized that all those years of delay were in vain. Suddenly, she became a little worried about the person she was dating.

"I'm not more than a year or two younger than you. Do you think the man will dislike my age? Also, what kind of person is he? Are his family members easy to get along with?"

Lin Shu scratched his head: "How old is the man?"

"twenty."

"Haha, are you kidding me? A 20-year-old looks down on an 18-year-old like you?"

"Okay, I'm just a little nervous." Lin Haiyan felt more at ease after hearing her say that.

"You two stop whispering back there. Your aunt and the others must be waiting for us at the state-owned hotel. Hurry up." Aunt Niu wiped the sweat from her forehead, glanced at the sun hanging in the sky, turned back and urged.

Lin Shu knew Lin Haiyan's aunt.

As soon as they walked into the state-owned restaurant, Lin Shu recognized Aunt Lin who was sitting against the wall. Next to her sat a middle-aged woman and a man.

Aunt Lin was slightly surprised to see Lin Shu coming in, and asked, "Why is Lin Wei's sister here?"

"Aunt, Lin Shu came here with me." Lin Haiyan explained.

The man stood up, smiled at the group, asked them to sit down, and introduced himself: "My name is Li Jianjun, I'm 20 years old, my parents are still alive, I'm the fifth child, and I have four older sisters."

Aunt Lin smiled and introduced her niece from her maiden side to the man, and then smiled and told both parties to find out in person if they wanted to know anything.

Lin Shu looked at the man sitting opposite him. He had an ordinary appearance, a simple and honest face, and was not very tall, perhaps about 1.68 meters.

It’s just that Lin Haiyan didn’t marry this man in her previous life, and the man in Lin Haiyan’s previous life was not a responsible man either. She suffered a lifetime after marrying him and never enjoyed happiness until her old age.

What both parties in a blind date want to know is nothing more than each other's family situation. As for the economic situation, everyone is similar in this era.

Afterwards, Aunt Niu asked more detailed questions, which showed that she was quite satisfied with the man's situation based on her initial understanding.

But when asked how many work points the man could earn in a day, the man and Aunt Lin's expressions looked a little subtle.

"Seven work points." The man tried to save face: "I am the youngest in the family. I used to have several older sisters to support me. I don't work as hard as others in farm work."

Lin Shu asked, "If you don't work hard in the countryside, how are you going to support your wife and children after marriage?"

The man smiled nonchalantly: "I have a few sisters at home to help me, so my conditions are not bad. My parents don't want me to work too hard. As long as I can have enough food and clothes in my life, I am content."

Lin Haiyan nervously grabbed Lin Shu's hand.

Lin Shu patted her hands and asked for her, "Then I want to know how heavy a load you can carry at one time?"

"A hundred pounds shouldn't be a problem."

Lin Shu's mouth twitched when he heard this. For a grown man who mainly does farm work in the countryside, weighing over 100 pounds should not be a problem.

She leaned close to Lin Haiyan's ear and whispered, "If you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Even the best iron can only be forged by itself. Haiyan, think carefully about whether this man is suitable for you."

The main thing is that all the men above this man are older sisters, which means he grew up surrounded by women. Lin Shu thinks he lacks masculinity and responsibility.

After Lin Shu finished speaking, he stood up and went out.

Take advantage of this time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy soap and salt.
