Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Maybe it’s because the spring ploughing is over, the supply and marketing cooperative is crowded today.

Lin Shu finally squeezed in and bought the salt and soap he needed, but on his way out he was squeezed so hard that he accidentally bumped into someone.

Hearing the other person cry out in pain, Lin Shu quickly apologized: "Sorry, it hurts... Ouch!"

"Lin Shu!" Qi Xiaoyun didn't expect that the person who bumped into her was Lin Shu. "Why did you come to the supply and marketing cooperative today? Why didn't I see you on the way here?"

"I came here with Aunt Niu. We left early." Lin Shu explained, looked at the woman next to Qi Xiaoyun, and greeted her with a smile: "Li Zhiqing."

Li Zhiqing and Qi Xiaoyun came to Xiaohe Production Team at the same time. However, Li Zhiqing couldn't stand the hardship of working in the fields, so he found a villager in the Xiaohe Production Team to marry. They had a boy, who is now three years old, and his nickname is Chaochao.

Later, all the educated youth returned to the city. Li Zhiqing abandoned her husband and children and returned to the city. However, her husband had resentment towards her and never concealed it in front of the children.

A three or four-year-old child who grew up under the indoctrination of his father's resentment naturally hates his mother in his heart and has an extreme and stubborn personality.

Lin Shu remembered that when Chaochao grew up, Li Zhiqing arranged for Chaochao to work in a small municipal enterprise out of consideration for their blood relationship, but Chaochao's hatred for his mother never diminished.

Perhaps because he was abandoned at a young age and had a psychological trauma, Chaochao never married and lived a gloomy life. Finally, his depression turned into illness and he died of cancer before he was 40 years old.

Chao Chao's life is regrettable. He is like a product of an era, and his life and tragedy seem to have been destined since birth.

Li Zhiqing smiled at her and said, "Sister Lin Shu, you bought a lot of things."

"Just buying some soap."

"We've bought it too, let's go out together."

The three of them walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative together. Qi Xiaoyun pulled Lin Shu and said, "Did you know that Zhu Zhengliang and Wei Miao are living together?"

"Ah? They went together?" Lin Shu pretended to be surprised.

In fact, in his previous life, Wei Miao was deceived by Zhu Zhengliang both physically and mentally. After autumn, Zhu Zhengliang's family would transfer him back to the city, and he never came back and had no contact with Wei Miao.

"Yes, but I heard that they didn't get a marriage certificate." Qi Xiaoyun really admired Wei Miao's courage for daring to live with a man without a marriage certificate.

Lin Shu showed surprise when he heard this. In fact, there were a few couples in the countryside who had marriage certificates, and they all became de facto couples by holding a wedding banquet.

The popularization of marriage certificates began after the implementation of the ID card system in the 1980s. Many couples in rural areas went to apply for ID cards and then got a marriage certificate at the same time.

Lin Shu looked at Qi Xiaoyun's rough, dark skin and asked, "Does Qi Zhiqing like anyone in our Xiaohe Production Team?"

Qi Xiaoyun seemed startled when she heard this and waved her hands quickly: "I don't have, and I don't plan to get married in Xiaohe Village."

Lin Shu: "Since Qi Zhiqing has persisted for so many years, then he should continue to persevere."

Qi Xiaoyun was a little embarrassed and explained, "I know, I don't mean to look down on rural people, I just think that when looking for a man, you have to find someone with whom you can talk in common. Otherwise, if you talk at cross purposes, how can you live your whole life?"

Lin Shu didn't say anything. Everyone's choice of marriage partner is different, and she couldn't interfere with her thoughts.

Li Zhiqing then said, "I don't know what Wei Miao is thinking. If she marries Zhu Zhengliang, she can't help her with work, and she can't move away from the Zhiqing camp. She still eats from the big pot at the Zhiqing camp, but she just sleeps in a different place. What's the point of having a man like this?"

It also increases the risk of pregnancy. If the man has a conscience, it would be fine. But if he has no conscience, then it would be a waste of time.

She originally found a man in the village, and at least after she married this man, she was basically never allowed to do farm work. At most, she stayed at home to take care of the children and do housework.

As Qi Xiaoyun said, she needs to find a man with whom she has common topics. Although her man and she don’t have any common topics, at least this man has a strong waist, which allows her to enjoy the benefits that a wife should enjoy.

Lin Shu and Qi Xiaoyun looked at each other. What he said was true. What was the point of having such a scumbag?

The three of them didn't have to wait long at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative before Aunt Niu and Lin Haiyan came over.

The five of them left the market together. On the way back, Lin Shu secretly asked Lin Haiyan: "How was it in the end? Are you satisfied with that man?"

Lin Haiyan had disappointment in her eyes and shook her head: "I didn't fancy him, but my mother thought his family was well off. After I marry him, I'll have several sisters to help me, so my life won't be too hard."

Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

If it were her, she wouldn't like that man either.

"Lin Shu, what do you think of that man? Tell me what you think."

Lin Shu chuckled, "Do you really want to hear my opinion?"

Lin Haiyan shook her arm, "Tell me, I want to listen."

"I think that man is a bit out of character in terms of appearance."

Lin Haiyan was confused, "What do you mean?"

Lin Shu sighed, "That man said he was twenty years old. Judging from his appearance, he is at least twenty-five or twenty-six. People would believe him if he said he was twenty-eight, twenty-nine or thirty. He is growing up too fast."

Lin Haiyan covered her mouth and laughed secretly. In order to prevent the people in front from hearing them muttering, she whispered, "Maybe the others are really twenty?"

"That just goes to show that his genes are not good and the shelf life is too short!" Lin Shu knew that she didn't like him, so he had no psychological burden to be sarcastic.

"Ha ha......"

Lin Haiyan laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward.

"What are you laughing at? Tell us what you think will make us happy." Qi Xiaoyun turned around and asked after hearing the laughter.

Return to the production team.

Lin Shu said goodbye to Aunt Niu and others and returned home, only to find that only Liu Xiao'e was at home.

"How is it? How much money did you change?" As soon as Liu Xiao'e saw Lin Shu come in, she went forward to take her backpack.

"41."

"Why are you losing money again?"

The voices of mother and daughter sounded at the same time.

Liu Xiao'e looked at the dozens of eggs in the basket and almost fainted from heartache.

We have a few chickens at home, and we can pick out two or three eggs every day. How could this spendthrift guy be willing to spend money to buy eggs outside?

Lin Shu wanted to pay 41 yuan, but after hearing what Liu Xiaoe said, she decided to deduct the money for eggs, salt and soap from the 41 yuan. "Buying a few eggs is a waste of money, so your family can't afford my waste."

"You spend money recklessly and you still think you're right?" Liu Xiao'e was considering whether she should follow him next time he goes out, so as to prevent this ancestor from spending money like water.

"I don't care." Lin Shu took out the remaining money from his pocket and put it on the table. "Look at who in the village can compare with you. Others are still working in the fields with their butts sticking out, facing the loess and their backs facing the sky, but you are at home counting money. Just for this, you are better than 99% of the women in charge of the village. Many people envy you.

Liu Xiao'e thought about today's earnings and felt a little better. "How long will it take to finish all these eggs? They might go bad before we finish them."

"If each person can lay one egg a day, fifty eggs can be laid in a few days. How can they stink?"

"One egg per person per day, you wish!" Liu Xiao'e picked up the eggs and put them into the basket filled with rice husks. "Take advantage of these two days of rest. You can go visit your sister tomorrow."
