After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Li Xia and her friends were still muttering on the way back.

"Oh! No matter how strong I am, I can only lift two baskets. It would be great if your second brother was at home." Li Xia was a little depressed.

Business is so good now. The colder the weather, the easier it is to sell hot things. Li Xia, whose business has been slow for several months, is very happy. But Lan Ze is not here, so she can't make money quickly.

Although it was a pity for Xu Rufang who was standing aside and Lan He was not there, he still knew the difference between good and bad.

There is only so much money and you can never earn it all, but if a man has a promising future, he will have many good days to live.

Lan He has grown up visibly these days, and he has become more and more measured in his words and actions. This makes Xu Rufang much happier. It is better for a man to have a chance to grow than to stay with him every day selling tea eggs.

He believed that Li Xia beside him thought the same thing. Although she was muttering to herself, she would definitely not be happy if she was asked to call Lan Zhe back from learning to drive to sell tea eggs.

So he comforted Li Xia: "Second sister-in-law, the weather is so cold. Although business is good, the number of people visiting Sanqing Mountain is not as many as during the summer vacation. Don't disrupt their plans for a short period of business."

Sure enough, Li Xia nodded immediately after hearing this, "That's the truth, a man should have his own career. Speaking of which, I admire my elder brother and his wife the most."

When the weather gets cold, Lan Qing and Chen Baoni's small noodle stall is crowded with customers. It's so comfortable to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup in the mountains in such cold weather.

The couple set up a small noodle stall in a windproof location halfway up the mountain. They put up a roof to keep out the snow, put down a few sets of tables and chairs, and the boiler in the back was bubbling away. There was a constant stream of customers coming to the front.

The couple has been busy from morning to night and has not even had time to drink water, but they are both smiling and very satisfied with this kind of life.

The three sisters-in-law, who used to get along very well with each other, could now only see Chen Baoni and her husband at dinner time, so Li Xia and Xu Rufang became closer.

Li Xia couldn't help but ask, "The day after tomorrow is Lan Xin's move-in day. What are you going to give her?"

As the days passed, the small building where Lan Xin planned to live was built and renovated. The two-story building was the only one in Lanjia Village.

Not to mention the beautiful decorations, which are unprecedented in the surrounding area.

Nanxing's little house is more popular than Su Runrun's new house next door. After all, his house is a bungalow. Although the decoration looks simple and tasteful, in the eyes of ordinary villagers, this two-story building is still rare.

While Lan Xin was preparing things for the hotel, he was also decorating and arranging his own small house. The day after tomorrow, New Year's Day, 1984, would be the day he would move into his new house.

After hearing Li Xia's underestimation, Xu Rufang also became a little distressed. Lan Xin had helped these three brothers so much and gave them a job to support their family when they were in trouble.

Besides, Lan Xin’s house is so beautifully decorated that they can’t afford to give away gifts like ordinary people would give when they move in.

Xu Rufang couldn't think of what to give as a gift and felt overwhelmed.

He glanced at Li Xia, whose eyes were rolling around. She seemed to be confident about what she had done. He moved closer and couldn't help asking.

"Second sister-in-law, do you have a gift for me? Tell me about it."

Li Xia blushed and said shyly, "Your second brother means that Lan Xin's house is so beautifully decorated, everything is good, except for a TV..."

"TV..." Xu Rufang was stunned. Television is still a best-selling item. According to Lan Xin's help to them, giving them a TV seems to be a good choice.

But this TV is not easy to buy and is quite expensive. Without a TV, the air ticket for one will cost seven or eight hundred yuan.

His eyes rolled around, and as if he had thought of something, he looked at Li Xia and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are so unkind. You gave us such a big gift at once. How should we, the brothers and sisters-in-law, give it to you?"

Li Xia said shyly, "This is your second brother's idea."

"You can't keep this good idea to yourself..." Xu Rufang said.

……

Although the day of moving to a new home is approaching, Ke Lanxin is still very busy because the vegetable greenhouse in the village can finally grow vegetables that can be sold in bulk.

After the winter frost, no crops can be seen on the ground, but the warm and comfortable vegetable greenhouse is full of green.

Looking at the baskets of green vegetables in the greenhouse, the villagers were so satisfied. As soon as they walked out of their own vegetable greenhouse, they couldn't help shivering, and then chatted with the villagers next to them.

"Looking at the greenhouse, I thought it was spring. When I opened the door, it was snowing outside. The green vegetables in the greenhouse made me happy."

"That's right. I picked some vegetables yesterday and ate them at home. It was so fresh and delicious that we didn't even eat meat." The fat aunt on the side couldn't help but nodded with emotion.

In previous years, there were no fresh vegetables, and they only ate some frost-resistant radishes and potatoes, or sauerkraut and pickles. This year, they can have a meal of tender green vegetables, and the whole family feels that building a vegetable greenhouse was a wise decision.

Not only can you make money, but you can also satisfy your own appetite.

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but smack their lips in pain. The tender green vegetables in winter are worth money, but his family is so greedy that they want to eat them all.

Aunt Pang didn't know what other people were thinking. Her family was not like the other villagers. They didn't have much work to do at the moment, so they were just looking forward to the vegetables harvested from the fields.

She goes out with others to sell vegetables every few days. With her eloquence, she can not only earn wages but also earn commissions.

And his taciturn son, who works for Lan Xin, not only has a job but also a dormitory to live in. Apart from the income, they are naturally not as financially strapped as other villagers.

When I see the vegetables in the field and feel greedy, I dig one up and eat it to satisfy my taste buds.

You wouldn’t know until you eat it. I don’t know if it’s because of the vegetable greenhouse or their own thoughts, but they all think the food tastes better than usual.

Although they are all ordinary vegetable varieties, the vegetables grown are so refreshing and delicious, even more delicious than meat.

This makes Aunt Pang look forward to how delicious the vegetables grown from the high-quality improved seeds that she spent a lot of money on will be.

Listening to Auntie Pang constantly saying "delicious, delicious", you can't help but squint your eyes, looking at the tent behind you, eager to move.

They only have a few vegetables in one tent and eat a few in one meal. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Just as they were hesitating about deciding to take action, Aunt Fat spoke again.

"Lan Xin said there will be a big business tomorrow, so she asked you to pick the vegetables early."
