The wife of the chief minister traveled through time and space and had multiple babies

Around three o'clock in the afternoon on December 1973, 12, sunlight poured into the house through the windows. Bai Zhizhi woke up slowly, sat up from the bed and stretched.

He rubbed his eyes, looked around and found that Lu Chuan was not in the room.

Bai Zhizhi muttered to herself, "Where did Lu Chuan go?" She remembered the book she read yesterday. The book mentioned that from 73 to 76, a policy would be introduced requiring every household to send one young person to the countryside to serve as an educated youth and contribute to national construction.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhizhi felt it necessary to talk to Lu Chuan about this matter. She knew that young people of this era would face such a choice, and their family was no exception.

Moreover, I heard a few days ago that the "Gang of Four" had been crushed, and today's Beijing is no longer as prosperous as before.

Bai Zhizhi decided to go out to look for Lu Chuan and take a look at the situation outside. She put on her coat and walked out of the house.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw Lu Chuan sitting at the door chatting with Grandpa Lu and Father Lu.

In the past two days, after Bai Zhizhi's family returned home, they have not seen the families of the eldest and second brothers Lu coming over.

I heard that it was New Year's Day and the company was busy, so Lu Chuan worked hard and planned his work for more than ten days before departure in order to accompany himself and the children to Beijing, and then took leave.

Around 1973:12 am on December 29,

Bai Zhizhi came to the black market, which was crowded with people and full of various goods.

Bai Zhizhi looked around curiously and suddenly heard someone calling her name. She turned around and saw that it was Lu Chuan.

"Why are you here?" Bai Zhizhi asked.

"Just now I saw you sleeping so soundly, so I came to buy something." Lu Chuan said, handing Bai Zhizhi a small bag, "This is for you."

Bai Zhizhi opened the bag, which contained some specialties she had stockpiled in her previous life. She felt warm in her heart and said thank you.

"When I was chatting with my grandparents yesterday afternoon, I heard that a group of educated youth would be selected to go to the countryside. I guess Liujia Village will also be assigned people. Do you plan to tell my father-in-law and others?" Lu Chuan asked.

"You know, I haven't thought about it yet." Bai Zhizhi said, eating and taking out one to feed the man next to her.

Lu Chuan looked at her and said, "There's nothing wrong with going to the countryside. You can train yourself and make some contributions to the country. Tell your father-in-law as soon as possible and let the captain and others prepare as soon as possible. After all, your father-in-law and the captain and others are familiar with the officials in the village."

After listening to this, Bai Zhizhi nodded and had some ideas in her mind.

After saying that, he thought about the fact that he would have to start buying a courtyard house in Beijing in the next two years. After all, he didn’t have a house to develop in Beijing yet, and he couldn’t all invest the money he had saved before.

He put down the bag of snacks in his hand and said, "Aren't we looking at courtyard houses these days? We can't spend all the money we saved before. The food, fruits and vegetables grown in my space and the things in the system warehouse are enough for our family of five to eat for several lifetimes. What's more, if we run out of food, fruits and vegetables, we can grow them again ourselves. What do you think? Let's go in and take a look now."

After hearing what his wife said, Lu Chuan expressed his understanding. After all, his salary was not high and the family was under great financial pressure, so he could only rely on his wife's business to make a living.

The two walked into the black market together. There were crowds of people here, and it was more lively than outside. There were many stalls with a wide variety of goods. Bai Zhizhi walked around and carefully observed the surroundings, looking for suitable buyers.

Suddenly, she noticed some antique calligraphy and paintings on a stall, and quickly pulled Lu Chuan towards that direction.

"Boss, how much are these things for?" Bai Zhizhi asked, pointing at a painting.

"This is an authentic work by a famous painter from the Qing Dynasty. It costs at least fifty yuan to buy it." The stall owner looked them up and down and replied.

Bai Zhizhi was shocked. The price was so high! However, she pretended to be an expert and started bargaining with the boss.

Finally, I bought the painting for 15 dollars.

"Wife, you are really good at bargaining." Lu Chuan said with a smile.

"Of course, this is my strong point." Bai Zhizhi smiled proudly.

Then they walked around for a while and sold some food, fruits and vegetables. They had a good harvest and earned a total of 375 yuan.

"Okay, that's enough, let's go back." Bai Zhizhi said.

Lu Chuan nodded and left the black market with her.

However, at this time, there was a man who had been staring at Bai Zhizhi closely, and seemed to have a strong interest in Bai Zhizhi. Finally, he made up his mind to walk up and talk to Bai Zhizhi. Bai Zhizhi felt a little uneasy, but she did not show it, but just used her eyes to signal to Lu Chuan that she needed to be careful.

Fortunately, Lu Chuan was not wearing a military uniform today, otherwise their plan might have been discovered.

After some negotiations, Lu Chuan successfully negotiated a price with the other party. The details are as follows: rice is sold at 1.2 cents per catty, millet is sold at 9 cents per catty, red beans are sold at 1 yuan per catty, corn flour is sold at 8 cents per catty, apples are sold at 2 yuan per catty, small green vegetables are sold at 6 cents per catty, and cabbage is sold at 5 cents per catty. There are 100 catties of each kind of goods.

When Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan unloaded the goods, the man involved in the transaction came over with a sly smile on his face, and said jokingly: "Haha, you two actually dare to deliver the goods in person, aren't you afraid that I will embezzle them?" There was a provocation and temptation in his eyes.

Lu Chuan smiled slightly, a hint of confidence and calmness flashed in his eyes, and he replied firmly: "You dare not." His voice was low and powerful, as if he was absolutely sure of his judgment.

After hearing what Lu Chuan said, the other party was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and his laughter seemed to be filled with some appreciation and admiration. He knew that Lu Chuan was not bluffing, but really had such strength and confidence. So, he said no more and still obediently took out the money and handed it to Lu Chuan.

Then, he asked curiously, "What are your names?" He was obviously very interested in Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan and wanted to know more about them. "My last name is Lu, and this is my wife, whose last name is Bai." Lu Chuan replied politely.

"It turns out to be Mr. Lu and Ms. Bai. Nice to meet you. My last name is Li, and I often do some small business here." Boss Li said with a smile, "If you two have more goods in the future, just come to me, and I will definitely give you the highest price."

"Thank you, Boss Li." Bai Zhizhi said with a smile.

"You're welcome. We're all businessmen." Boss Li waved his hand and pointed to the group of people behind him. "These are my guys. If you need any help in the future, you can always call on them."

"Okay, thank you all for that." Lu Chuan said.

"It's no trouble, no trouble. I'll leave first and see you next time." said Boss Li.

"Goodbye." Lu Chuan and Bai Zhizhi said in unison.

Watching Boss Li's departing back, Bai Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, this transaction went smoothly."

"Yes, but we still have to be more careful in the future." Lu Chuan said, "This Boss Li doesn't seem like an ordinary businessman."

"Yeah, I think so too." Bai Zhizhi nodded, "But since he is willing to do business with us, there shouldn't be too many problems."

"I hope so." Lu Chuan said, "Okay, let's go home quickly."

So the two of them packed up their things, left the market, and headed home.
