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

"Yueyue, wait until the sun goes down before taking your sister out to play. Remember to close the door..."

Speaking of this, Lan Xin was thinking about the box of money hidden under the bed.

There was so much money left at home, and it was at the end of the village, with only a few houses around. There were only two children at home, so they didn't even notice a thief breaking in.

Lan Xin guessed that the sound of the tractor in the morning must be heard by more than just the neighbor aunt who lived not far away.

In this small village, the news probably spread throughout the entire village in just one morning.

Everyone in the village knew that the tractor was used to transport the goods for which so many people had worked hard for seven or eight days.

Although Lan Xin released the news that she worked for someone else's factory and the goods belonged to them, no one except her family knew that the money was earned by Lan Xin herself.

But if you can pay five yuan to work for someone in a factory, the salary you earn must be more than that of the villagers.

What if someone is thinking just like that, and wants to make a small fortune by breaking into houses and stealing without asking for anything else?

Thinking of this, Lan Xin didn't dare to go out and left so much money alone at home.

She looked around the farmyard. It was very simple. Apart from the main house which was a small brick-and-tile house of about ten square meters, the rest of the kitchen and thatched house were built with thatch and stones.

An airtight bamboo fence can prevent prying eyes from outside, but it is made of bamboo after all. A few cuts at a corner can be used to break in. The door to the yard and the door to the room are also made of bamboo, which is not safe at all.

Thinking of this, Lan Xin turned back to her room. Before leaving, she did not forget to send the two children away.

"I'm worried about you two staying at home, so why don't you go to your grandmother's house and play with your cousin Shanshan?"

As she spoke, Lan Xin put a straw hat on each of the two children and pushed them out of the house, not forgetting to give them some instructions before closing the door.

"It's sunny, remember to walk in the shade."

"okay."

Yingying and Yueyue didn’t know what their mother was doing. They nodded stupidly and looked at the closed yard door. Then they had to walk hand in hand to their grandparents’ house.

After the two children left, Lan Xin returned to her room and divided the box of money that Zhao Qingfeng had brought into several parts.

One bag was wrapped in cloth. Lan Xin used a chair to prop it up and placed it on the beam of the brick house. The bag was made of dark cloth. There was only one window and door in the house. There was not enough light during the day, and the extremely low-intensity gas lamp at night could not reach the beam, so it was difficult for anyone to notice this place.

Since this place is so perfect, Lan Xin thought about it and hid a few more bags of money on the beams in other locations.

In this way, even if someone finds a place and sees the money on it, they will definitely think that is all and will not look for the beams in other places. It is dark under the lamp, and it may be the best place to hide the money.

After putting it away, Lan Xin looked from every angle under the house. The angle was very precise, and she breathed a sigh of relief after it could no longer be seen anywhere.

Then he wrapped up part of the remaining money and stuffed it under the stove in the kitchen.

After a few days, Lan Xin discovered that this stove made of waste stones and bricks might not have enough cement, and the yellow mud had dried up over time, causing the bricks and stones to crack. Lan Xin pulled out a brick, stuffed all the money into it, then knocked off half of the brick and stuffed it back in.

She looked carefully and found that this was another place to hide money that no one would find.

If she didn't say it, who would have discovered that there was money hidden here? The only thing she was worried about was that it would be eaten by rats.

"Pah, pah, pah, just leave it for a few days. The mice won't dare to bite." Lan Xin muttered to herself.

In fact, she would rather turn the money into land and use it to build hotels and houses, but she has to take it step by step. The sooner the money is hidden, the sooner it will be secure.

Lan Xin hid the remaining money in the place where the chicken coop used to be.

Originally, the family raised a few chickens, but they were all sold for money before going to Shanghai. After returning, Old Mrs. Lan wanted to give one of the chickens at home to Lan Xin, but she refused.

I plan to wait until autumn and then catch a few chicks to raise. Now, the sun is too strong and the temperature is too high, so the chicks can easily die of heat.

So this empty chicken coop is just right for Lan Xinlanxin to hide her money.

After hiding most of the money, Lan Xin only had a small packet left in her hand.

There were tens of thousands of dollars in it. Lan Xin planned to take the money to the city and open an account to deposit it while it was still early.

For the rest, you can save a little bit over a period of time. As long as you put the money away safely, you will have no worries.

As for the back mountain, it’s not too late to go there tomorrow morning.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lan Xin took a cloth bag and hurried towards the county town.

Lan Xin put the money away in various places like a squirrel about to go to winter, and she felt relaxed.

Oh, what could be happier than getting rich?

When taking the bus to Lanjia Village, Lan Xin found Lan Qing's family on the minibus. Lan Qing and his family also saw Lan Xin from afar and they were all surprised at each other.

"Brother and sister-in-law, are you back?" Lan Xin asked them.

It seems that my sister-in-law’s parents’ home is a bit far away, deeper in the mountains, and it takes a lot of time just to get there by car.

Lan Xin took a look at the bags they brought. They seemed to be filled with dried vegetables, dried mushrooms and the like. They should have been packed for them by their family members.

Chen Baoni pushed her eldest son into Lan Qing's arms, patted the empty seat beside her, and motioned Lan Xin to sit over.

"Yeah, I just got here."

"Have you been to the city?" Lan Qing held her son on her lap and turned over to let Lan Xin sit over.

"Yes, go do something." Lan Xin said with a smile, looking at her nephew beside her and asked, "Ye Ming, tell auntie, is grandma's house fun?"

"I didn't go out to play. I just stayed at home listening to my parents talking about things in Shanghai."

Lan Yeming spoke with his eyes sparkling, looking at his father and mother with admiration, and finally looking at Lan Xin.

"Aunt, you also went to Shanghai, tell me about Shanghai too."

Lan Xin looked up and, as expected, saw shyness and embarrassment in the eyes of Lan Qing and Chen Baoni.

Lan Xin pursed her lips in amusement. It was like this these days. No matter where you went, it was difficult to get a place, or you would be caught and questioned about what was happening outside.

"Didn't your parents tell you? We are all together."

"Then I still want to listen." Lan Yeming, who is already twelve years old, is not easy to fool.

Lan Xin looked at Lan Yeming, who was full of curiosity, and said temptingly, "Yeming, do you want to know about the outside world? Just listening to what others say is not enough. How about you study hard and go to Shanghai or Beijing to study in the future? Then you will have the opportunity to learn more about the outside world, right?"
