Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

After hearing this, Lin Mei was so scared that she turned around and saw Xie Chunlei standing on the steps of the hotel with an oil-paper bag in his hand, looking at her with disapproval.

"Chun...Brother Chunlei, don't listen to her nonsense. I didn't expect to meet her here, so I asked a few more questions and she disliked me."

"You have to choose the right occasion for a small talk. Lin Shu is obviously busy with something, and you're blocking her. How can she be in a good mood to face you?" Xie Chunlei walked up to Lin Shu and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to waste your time. Go and do what you have to do."

Lin Shu nodded, ignoring Lin Mei's eyes that were as sharp as a knife. Such eyes didn't hurt her at all, so she pushed her bicycle and left.

Lin Mei was ignored again. She stared at the bicycle under Lin Shu's crotch with resentful eyes, wishing she could melt the bicycle and make Lin Shu embarrassed in the street.

Xie Chunlei stuffed the oil-paper bag in his hand into Lin Mei's hand, and then he went to push the bicycle.

Lin Mei retracted her gaze and asked with resentment, "Why didn't you help me just now, and spoke for Lin Shu?"

"You also said that she has a job. Do you know that people in the city have to go to work and leave work on time every day? Morning time is precious. You blocked her from leaving. Isn't that delaying things? I think you are wrong?"

Xie Chunlei was furious. Lin Shu broke off the engagement with him, but he chose Lin Mei. Now when the two cousins ​​were compared, it was clear who was better.

Especially just now in the bicycle shed, he looked at Lin Shu carefully, and his skin and temperament had improved a lot.

Her skin was so tender that you could pinch water out of it, and her temperament was especially evident. She was no longer young and immature, and her whole body exuded the charm of a newlywed. It did not take much thought to know that she and her fiancé were already husband and wife.

As a newlywed, the bride's temperament is really attractive to men. Jie Chunlei is no exception. At that moment, his eyes were attracted to Lin Shu.

As for whether he regretted breaking off the engagement, only he himself knew.

Lin Mei was weak, lowered her head and pinched the oil paper bag, whispering: "I didn't know she was in a hurry to go to work."

Xie Chunlei almost couldn't breathe properly after hearing this. "Alright, hurry up. We need to rush to the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative now. We need to rush back as soon as we get the goods."

"Oh."

The atmosphere between the engaged couple suddenly became heavy.

On the way to work by bike, Xie Chunlei may have relaxed a lot, so he patiently asked: "What do you want to buy?"

Lin Mei shook her head in grievance, then realized that he couldn't see it, and said, "Your supply and marketing cooperative has everything you want to buy."

After hearing this, Xie Chunlei felt relieved and rode his bike to the supply and marketing cooperative's warehouse.

By the time they received the goods and carried the people back to Shanyin Township, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

After handing over the goods to the unit's warehouse keeper, Xie Chunlei bought some processed goods in the warehouse and took Lin Mei to the state-owned restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles.

"Brother Chunlei, are you going to take me home first, or go home first?"

Lin Mei looked at the washbasin, thermos, face towel and other daily necessities around her, and her mood improved again.

Xie Chunlei was silent for a moment, looking a little unnatural. He coughed and asked, "I bought half a pound of meat today. Stay at my house for dinner tonight and go back tomorrow."

Lin Mei didn't expect that Jie Chunlei was thinking about her every time he had meat. She was very happy and agreed with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face.

The two rode back to Jiejia Village. When Jie's mother came back from work, she saw Lin Mei staying at home, so she took her son outside and asked in a low voice, "You've been back for a while, why didn't you send Mei Zi back?"

Xie Chunlei lowered his eyelids, "I bought half a pound of meat today and asked her to stay at home for dinner. It won't be too late to go back tomorrow."

When Jie's mother heard that they only bought half a pound of meat and wanted Lin Mei to stay at home to eat, the first thing that came to her mind was that her son had forgotten his mother after getting married and was already thinking about her before she even got married.

Then, seeing his cold-tempered son, he took a long time to react and couldn't help but pat him on the back, "You haven't gotten married yet, aren't you afraid that the villagers will gossip about you if you keep her at home? You are too impatient, kid. You are still worried that you won't have a wife to warm your bed after the wedding next month!"

Xie Chunlei's thoughts were revealed, his ears turned red, he glanced at his mother and turned into his bedroom.

Jie's mother looked at the still shaking door and felt bad. It was she who delayed her son's marriage all these years. How could a young man in his twenties not be impatient?

Then his eyes fell on the main room, thinking of Lin Mei inside, he spat in his heart, "Slut, you seduced men so much that they couldn't move their legs just by going to the county town, you forgot your limits, you really have no shame."

Besides, when Lin Shu entered the mountains, he basically collected all the herbs purchased by the system into the system.

She would try to collect cheap herbs from the ground, and would only dig up the rhizomes of precious herbs if she came across them.

This way the speed is much faster, and not having to carry any weight on the mountain saves a lot of physical energy.

[Ding, the system points have reached 10,000. Does the host want to upgrade the mall? ]

Lin Shu is collecting stone peaches. This herb, like Dendrobium, likes to grow on rocks, so it is a bit difficult to harvest.

The reason why the stone fairy peach is called stone fairy peach is because its pseudobulb is as big as a peach and as green as jade. In addition, it likes to grow in canyons with misty water vapor, so it looks a bit fairy-like from a distance.

While harvesting in such an environment, she was really scared when she suddenly heard the voice of the system.

It wasn't a big deal that she was startled, but the terrible thing was that her feet slipped and she slid down the two-meter-high stone slope.

"Fuck, system, you want to kill me!"

The sudden words startled her. If she were mining at a high place, she would slip and be smashed to pieces.

Lin Shu patted his butt, stood up, and picked up the tools that fell out of the backpack and put them back into the basket.

[Host, the system points have reached 10,000. Do you want to upgrade the mall? ]

Lin Shu checked the system balance, suppressed his excitement and asked: [The balance is 9,000, and I am only 50 cents short. How can I upgrade? Didn’t you say that I need 10,000 to upgrade? ]

[Reply to the host, balance is different from points. Points are the points you get from selling to the system. Whether you spend the money in your balance or not, it will not affect your points. ]

Lin Shu called up the system panel and checked the points column in my system, which showed that the points had reached 10,005 points.

[You mean, I get points based on how much money I exchanged for the herbs I sold you? The balance will not be affected even if I purchase items in the mall or withdraw cash? ]

【right. 】

Lin Shu was overjoyed, thinking about the money he had withdrawn to send back home, plus the money he had spent on shopping in the mall, it was about a thousand yuan.

【upgrade! 】

What are you waiting for? If you can upgrade, of course you should upgrade.

Haha, finally I don't have to worry about affecting my upgrades when spending money.

【Upgrading...】

Lin Shu didn't know how long it would take to upgrade, and he couldn't just wait there, so he could only start collecting herbs again.

After collecting herbs for an hour, Lin Shu looked at the time and it was already 4:30 in the afternoon. He didn't dare to stay on the mountain any longer, so he could only store the herbs he collected in the last hour into the system storage compartment.

When we got to the foot of the mountain, we took the bicycle out of the storage compartment and headed for the city.

Because he was afraid of being late, Gu Jiu was worried, and Lin Shu almost stepped on the bicycle chain to create sparks.

It was too far and it was already six in the afternoon when I got home.

Gu Jiu came out of the kitchen with a dark face, looking at the sweaty Lin Shu and gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that I didn't work hard enough last night, so you still have the energy to run in the mountains all day today!"

Lin Shu parked his bike and smiled flatteringly without wiping his sweat. "There are so many medicinal herbs on the mountain. I forgot the time when I was digging. I promise to come back earlier next time."

Gu Jiu's face turned even uglier, "Do you want to have another time?"

Lin Shu stepped forward and stretched out her hands to hug him and comfort him, but Gu Jiu stepped back in disgust, "Don't touch me, I stink."

Lin Shu: “…”

Only then did she notice Gu Jiu's slightly wet hair, which meant he had just come back from taking a shower.

"Why are you standing here in a daze? There's hot water in the pot. Go wash it!" Gu Jiu found her silly look funny and softened his tone, "Wash it clean before you hug me."

After dinner, Gu Jiu asked her, "How many herbs did you dig today?"

Lin Shu didn't dare to say that she dug more than 400, "200."

Gu Jiu frowned: "The two of us only dig 400 a day, and today you dug 200 by yourself. Don't work so hard next time."

Lin Shu nodded with a smile: "Okay, you will support me from now on."

"Okay, I'll support you. I have contacted five or six people today, and they have agreed to help me dig herbs. The difference we earn will be enough to support you." Gu Jiu chuckled.

"Did you tell them which herbs to dig?"

Gu Jiu shook his head: "I didn't force them to dig a certain type. As long as they brought it, we would take it. But I guess as long as they are not stupid, they will choose to dig precious herbs."

Lin Shu yawned and rubbed his eyes, which were a little stinging. "Okay, I'm so sleepy. Do you want to sleep? I'm going to bed first."

"Let's go."

Lying on the bed, Lin Shu rolled into Gu Jiu's arms, found a comfortable position, and quickly closed his eyes.

I didn't forget to check the system before going to bed, and found that the system had been upgraded successfully.

Lin Shu's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, he opened the system mall, and found that there were sixteen more items this time.

In other words, in addition to the original rice flour, brown sugar, eggs, cloth and shoes, millet and red beans have been added to the food category. Several categories have also been added this time, among which two products have been directly added to the beverage category: rice wine and beer.

There are four new fruits added: apple, orange, pear and grapefruit (the four fruits change with the season).

The daily necessities category has been expanded to include towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, facial cream and washbasins.

Finally, meat, pork and fish were added.

Judging from these added products, the system is very user-friendly and considerate, and the selected products are basically closely related to life.

If you can get these products out, you can open a small shop.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

Gu Jiu listened to the breathing rhythm of the person in his arms and found that she was becoming more and more energetic, so he couldn't help but adjust his posture.

Lin Shu closed his eyes tightly and said, "Go to sleep right away."

Gu Jiu laughed out loud: "Don't be nervous. If you really can't sleep, I can help you consume your energy and strength unconditionally."

"No need." Lin Shu patted him back, warning him to be quiet.

"You really don't need it?"

Lin Shu yawned, "Really, no need, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
