Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

White Rabbit, the queen of sugars, White Rabbit milk candy.

One candy is equivalent to a glass of milk.

"There's only one left. How about we take half each?" Gu Jiu peeled off the candy wrapper of the last candy, held one half in his mouth, and left the other half exposed for Lin Shu to bite off.

Lin Shu hit him and glanced around, and found that no one in the waiting room paid attention to them. Even Wang Suzhen, who was sitting next to Gu Jiu, acted as if she was deaf and blind and did not even look at them.

"This is a public place, don't act so dissolutely, or I'll pinch you!"

Gu Jiu didn't take the whispered threat seriously. He put on a sly smile and indicated that if Lin Shu didn't bite it again, he would eat it all.

Lin Shu didn't bother to pay attention to him. Who would eat candy mouth to mouth in public? Just then, the radio broadcast that the train was arriving at the station.

Gu Jiu glanced at the people who were already queuing up to check their tickets and enter the station. He took a sip of the candy and quickly stood up to help carry the luggage.

Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to support her mother-in-law Wang Suzhen. "Mom, when you get on the train, sit still and don't move. If you want to go to the bathroom on the train, wait until the train has been moving for a while before going. Also, be careful of pickpockets on the train."

Wang Suzhen smiled and nodded: "Yes, I remember it."

In this era, there are still relatively few people who actually go out, especially in small train stations in prefecture-level cities like theirs. Ticket checking is very fast, and three people with two standing tickets and one train seat ticket can enter the platform.

I got on the train, found a seat and put my luggage away.

Lin Shu took out a water cup from her bag and handed it to Gu Jiu: "Gu Jiu, go get Mom a cup of water."

Wang Suzhen felt warm in her heart and couldn't help laughing: "I'm not a child, you don't have to take care of me so meticulously, I'll get some water after everyone is seated in the car."

"It's okay. I noticed it when I came up. The boiling water is not far ahead. He will be back soon." Lin Shu picked up the garbage on the table, wiped it with a handkerchief, and put it in his pocket after making sure it was clean.

Wang Suzhen naturally noticed this detail, but she just smiled and didn't stop it. In fact, she enjoyed the meticulous care of her son and daughter-in-law.

When Gu Jiu came back with the water, two people were sitting in the seat opposite. Lin Shu smiled at them and told her mother-in-law: "Mom, if you encounter any problems on the train, go find your cousin. He is the conductor of this train and will help you solve the problem. Don't be afraid to bother him. This is his duty."

"Okay, I get it. The train is about to leave, you should hurry back." Wang Suzhen was helpless. How could she have a nephew working as a railway conductor?

Of course, she knew that she was saying this for the people around her to hear, because the children were afraid that someone they disliked would bully her.

She looks weak despite being several decades old, but that doesn't mean she is really weak.

Gu Jiu nodded to Wang Suzhen and pulled Lin Shu, who still wanted to nag, out of the car.

Standing on the platform and watching the train slowly move, Wang Suzhen waved at them from inside the window.

"Don't look at it. My mom looks weak and fragile, but she has a very ruthless and decisive character. Didn't you see her waving her hand?" Gu Jiu dragged Lin Shu, who was still looking, and walked out.

Lin Shu was forcibly dragged away, and looked back again, "Mom waved twice and decisively let it go."

It seemed that the sadness of parting could not infect her.

"Yes, that's my mother's personality."

Usually, he is the one who has the final say in front of his father. But Gu Jiu didn't want to tell her this, and let her discover it slowly in the future.

"Ugh."

Lin Shu sighed. As expected, even though she had lived for decades as an old lady, her heart was still not as decisive and carefree as her mother-in-law's.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Jiu heard her sigh and looked back at her.

"It's ok, shall we go back now?"

"You want to play in the city?"

Lin Shu thought about it and asked, "Are there any fun places in the city?"

Gu Jiu chuckled: "The department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives in the county are similar to those in the city. The streets are just nine streets and eighteen alleys. If I have to say what is different from the county, it is probably that the city has one more church than the county."

"There are more factories in the city than in the county, so the purchasing power should be greater than in the county. I have more than a dozen braids in my bag, so I should be able to sell them for a good price, right?"

Before leaving, Gu Jiu saw the style of the skirt made by Lin Shu, which was the same skirt Lin Shu wore when she got engaged last time.

However, she had two colors, one was a white top with red flowers and a bright red skirt, and the other was a white top with blue flowers and a blue skirt.

Both colors are bright and eye-catching. Compared with the gray, black, blue and white of this era, the two colors chosen by Lin Shu can be said to be very eye-catching.

"Let's go give it a try. There should be a factory nearby."

"Okay." Lin Shu remembered that there were several factories nearby, including a match factory, a textile factory and a porcelain factory.

There are many female workers in the textile factory, and Lin Shu is confident that the textile factory does not have such beautiful fabrics.

So their first stop was the textile factory.

The two walked to the textile factory, it was not yet time to go to work, but a few workers had already arrived at the factory in advance.

In this day and age, people say that salaries in government agencies are high, but in fact, the salaries of female workers on the front line in textile factories are not low either.

"Gu Jiu, how do you think the marketing to these female workers will work?"

"They are all here to work, wearing work clothes. They don't carry much money with them, right?"

"Let's try it first."

Lin Shu observed the female workers in work uniforms and finally selected three young female comrades with neatly combed hair and earrings.

"Sisters, are you getting ready to go to work?"

"you are?"

The three female workers were originally a little wary, but when they noticed the clothes on Lin Shu, their eyes flashed with surprise.

Lin Shu is a pretty girl, and the chiffon shirt she wore today was fashionable, paired with a pair of slightly pulled-on light blue trousers. One glance was enough to draw the attention of the three female workers to her clothes.

"I see that you all pay attention to your appearance. I just happened to bring back a few beautiful dresses from Guangdong Province next door. Judging from your temperament, these dresses are very suitable for you. That's why I called you to ask if you like them."

As she spoke, Lin Shu took out the red and blue skirts draped over her arms and unfolded them. "How is it? Isn't this skirt beautiful? It's made entirely of Dacron fabric. It's the latest style in Hong Kong and Guangdong, and even department stores don't have it."

"This skirt is so beautiful, it must be expensive, right?" asked one of the female workers.

Lin Shu put on a blue one, then bent over to roll up her trouser legs and cover them with her skirt.

"Is it pretty? This braid costs at least 13 or 14 yuan in a department store, but it's only 10 yuan here, which is 3 or 4 yuan cheaper than in a department store. This is a rare opportunity. Do you want to buy one?"

The three female workers circled around Lin Shu, with amazement in their eyes.

"Wow, this skirt looks really nice on me. The waist is as if it was custom made."

"It's just that ten dollars is a little expensive, can you make it cheaper?"

Lin Shu quickly seized the opportunity and explained: "Sisters, your figures are similar to mine, so you will look better in this skirt than in mine, so you don't need to worry about that. As for the price, you get what you pay for. It's expensive for a reason. We carefully selected everything from fabrics to workmanship, and strive for perfection. The reason why it looks good on you is because this skirt is three-dimensionally cut, so it fits you better and looks like it was tailor-made."

The three female workers were very excited. They gathered together to discuss for a while, and one of them stood up and said, "We didn't bring so much money with us when we came to get off work. How about you wait until we get off work, and then follow us home to get the money?"

Lin Shu shook his head: "I'm sorry, I have to hurry home after selling, I can't wait that long, how about you ask your colleagues for help."

"Then wait a moment."

The three female workers said something else and soon turned around and walked towards other colleagues.

Lin Shu stood next to Gu Jiu and watched them borrow money from several colleagues.

It didn't take long for the three of them to come back.

"How many colors does your skirt come in?"

"Two colors, colors that you never get tired of looking at, red and blue." Lin Shu replied.

"I like blue, it looks refreshing."

"I like red, it looks festive."

"I like blue too. Should we wear the same skirt when we go out?"

Lin Shu quickly took over the conversation, "You two are obviously good sisters. Wearing the same clothes when you go shopping shows that you have a good relationship.

Moreover, three such beautiful sisters wearing the same beautiful dress, your appearance will be improved rapidly, you will be the most beautiful scenery on the whole street. "

This is an exaggeration, but lesbians like to hear it.

Although the three female workers blushed, they still paid for a skirt each. At the same time, they thought about the scene of three people wearing the same skirt and shopping in the streets.

This is an exaggeration though!

But think about it, it’s not against the law.
