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

The Lan family didn't serve any wine, but they had a very enjoyable meal tonight, and the children were so happy that it felt like New Year's Day.

All the dishes on the table were eaten cleanly, especially those with meat. Even the oil on the plates was wiped off by Old Man Lan with a bread and eaten cleanly.

Lan Xin was so anxious that she wanted to quickly make money and get rich with her family.

But things still need to be done slowly. Her family doesn't know about the changes in the outside world. She has to wait until she is doing well and making money before she can make them believe that they can easily earn enough money to eat.

Instead of being like it is now, where the whole family contracts a piece of land to farm, and the adults work hard in the fields, but in the end they can only eat meat a few times a year.

Their family is considered to be relatively well-off with this kind of life.

After dinner, several sisters-in-law were cleaning up the dishes, while Lan Xin was called into the room by Old Lady Lan.

"Mom, what did you call me for?"

Lan Xin walked into the room, only to see Old Lady Lan taking out a bag of salt from the bottom of a heavy wooden box?

Ok? ? ?

Lan Xin blinked and found that it was a bag of salt, which was reused by Old Lady Lan to hold things after it was used up.

Under the dim light, she opened the wrapped things layer by layer, and finally found pieces of money inside. Old Mrs. Lan counted them one by one, and finally she simply stopped counting and waved to Lan Xin.

"come over."

Lan Xin understood something, and she walked over with heavy steps.

After Lan Xin walked over, Old Lady Lan put the small amount of money in her hand into Lan Xin's hand.

"Take this. These are the gifts your brothers gave me. The rest are from family contributions, favors, and money for seeds and fertilizers. This is all I have saved. Don't despise me. You won't have any money to despise me anyway." She said with full energy.

The old lady has a clear mind. Although she subsidizes her daughter, she cannot let her son suffer or make her daughter-in-law unhappy. She can handle this measure well.

Humph, if Lan Xin hadn't seemed more sensible this time, she wouldn't have taken out these hidden treasures.

Lan Xin felt her nose sour, "Mom, I still have money, I don't need yours."

"What you have is yours, and what I have is mine." Old Mrs. Lan raised her chin and said proudly.

"Just take it if you're told to. It's for my granddaughter to eat, not for you to spend."

"I really can't use it!" Lan Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

A quick look showed that the bills in Mrs. Lan's hand were all in denominations of a few cents, with the largest denomination being one dollar. Not counting the small packages of bills, it was unclear whether she had more than twenty dollars in total.

Lan Xin really doesn't need the money.

After a final tug of war, the money was finally stuffed into Lan Xin's pocket by Old Lady Lan. Lan Xin could only accept it with a sigh.

I was thinking about asking Grandma Lan to help with some small chores in the future, and then paying her a salary and giving the money back to her as a supplement. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for the old lady to be without money.

After talking some sweet words for a while, Lan Xin took her two reluctant daughters and walked home.

Lan Xin was carrying a bucket of hot water, planning to use it to wipe the sweat off the two children's bodies when she got back. She was too lazy to go back and boil water.

There are no street lights on rural roads now, and every household uses dim tungsten filament lamps that can't even illuminate their own houses, let alone the roads outside.

Fortunately, the sky is clear and cloudless now, making the moon particularly clear, like a round cooked egg yolk. The moonlight shines down, illuminating Lan Xin's way home.

On the way back, I could only hear the rustling of insects and frogs in the grass in the corner. The farmers had just finished their meals, and not many people were willing to keep dogs at home.

They soon returned home and could vaguely see that the originally sparse and dilapidated yard fence had been replaced with a new one by Brother Lan and his team.

The new fence is dense and tall, and looks particularly safe.

There was not enough time and materials, so they only finished half of the yard. Brother Lan said they would continue working on the rest after they cut bamboo tomorrow.

Lan Xin opened the gate under the moonlight. After Yingying and Yueyue came in, she locked the gate, but she was still a little panicked.

This is the end of the village. There are few residents nearby and the villagers are all far away. Su Tiantian's family, who live nearby, also moved to the capital and have not returned to live here for many years.

"Why not replace the fence with bricks, it will feel safer." Lan Xin muttered.

She also didn't know whether to continue living in Lanjia Village or move to the city or other big cities in the future. After all, in the next ten years or so, as the rural and urban areas develop, the gap will become larger and larger.

But it’s too early to think about these things now. The most practical thing is to make money quickly.

I opened the door of the brick house and turned on the light. The dim light illuminated the narrow house. The roofs of houses nowadays are relatively high, so the light cannot reach the top and it looks dark.

It was the first time for Lan Xin to live in such an old house. She felt a little nervous. She took her two daughters to wipe their backs with hot water, then quickly turned off the lights and went to bed.

I won’t be afraid when I fall asleep.

Lan Xin thought she would not be able to sleep as it was her first time living in such an old house, but she closed her eyes as soon as she touched the pillow and did not wake up until she heard a sound outside the house.

Lan Xin opened her eyes and met Yueyue, whose eyes were wide open. She was speaking angrily.

"Mom is sleeping like a piglet. No matter how much I call her, she won't wake up."

Looking at her eldest daughter, Lan Xin smiled awkwardly, "Mom must have been tired from the car ride yesterday."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mom." Yueyue nodded, feeling sorry for her mother.

Then he pointed to the yard outside the window and said, "Mom, your aunt has been calling you at the door for a long time."

Hiss! Lan Xin took a breath and quickly got up. Through the tofu-block window outside the dim mosquito net, she really heard the voice of Lan Dasao outside the yard.

"Lan Xin, Lan Xin, Ying Ying Yue Yue..."

Lan Xin stood up and asked, "When Yueyue heard the noise, why didn't she go open the door for her aunt?"

Yueyue looked very innocent, "Mom, you locked the door. I can't get out."

Lan Xin then remembered that she was scared last night, so she locked the yard door and the room door. She apologized embarrassedly.

"Sorry baby, mommy forgot."

Having said that, she gave Yueyue a kiss on the cheek, then stood up to open the door, like a scumbag who just dealt with people casually.

Yueyue was very happy and smiled all day long.

Lan Xin opened the door and looked at the sisters-in-law outside the yard, smiling embarrassedly: "Sorry, sisters-in-law, I overslept."

"It's okay. You must be tired after sitting in the car for so long." Lan's wife Chen Baoni waved her hand and smiled kindly.

"Yes, Lanxin, have you had breakfast? I brought you some cakes." Third sister-in-law Xu Rufang smiled softly and picked up the basket in her hand.

"No." Lan Xin shook her head, and then a basket was stuffed into her arms. "Hurry up and get ready for breakfast. We'll get busy first."

Thinking of the ten yuan salary that day, the sisters-in-law were eager to get started. They didn't want to waste a quarter of an hour. They were even more afraid that the villagers who loved to visit from time to time would see something they shouldn't see.
