A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

When the eldest brother saw Shen Jiaren's action and saw the lady who was shopping, he didn't move.

After the aunt left, the eldest brother handed the egg to Shen Jiaren and said, "Take it. You and your family can eat it when you go back.

How can you be such an honest kid? Not only do you sell cheaply, but you also give away half of the goods. If you continue to do business this way, you will probably starve to death. "'

Shen Jiaren smiled embarrassedly and replied, "It's not easy for everyone. I want to sell it faster and get the money as soon as possible. The young man just now seemed to be in urgent need of the food, so I gave it to him.

Look at that lady just now, I didn’t give it to you.”

When the eldest brother heard what Shen Jiaren said, he smiled and said, "You clever little thing, take the eggs back. I don't want them."

Shen Jiaren said, "Brother, take it. This is what we feed ourselves. Thank you for the scale and your help. Otherwise, I would not be able to handle that old lady and would suffer."

The eldest brother smiled and said, "Come on, no matter whether what you said is true or not, I like to hear it, so I will take it away.

Next time you come to the black market to sell things, you can continue to come here. I am always here and I will protect you."

Shen Jiaren nodded with a smile, packed up her things simply, said goodbye, and left with her backpack on her back.

After leaving the black market, Shen Jiaren went to the recycling station, intending to see if there was anything unwanted there, or if she could pick up some books, or find some scenic spots or historical sites.

After all, to be honest, although Shen Jiaren knew that studying could change her destiny and the college entrance examination was one way to do it, she really hadn't figured out what she wanted to do in the future since she came to this world.

Although Shen Jiaren has read many novels and watched many documentaries, she knows that the future of national motherhood is booming and this opportunity is hard to come by.

But for Shen Jiaren, in her previous life, work was to maintain basic survival and try not to be out of touch with the world.

Now, because of the golden finger and the food book, Shen Jiaren's life will be comfortable, at least in the next two years.

But Shen Jiaren also understood that the world is developing, everything is developing. If she hesitates to move forward, then even if she holds many cards, she will be eliminated by the world in the end.

So Shen Jiaren wanted to look in the recycling bin to see if there were any books, or something that interested her that could arouse her interest and give her a goal to work hard for.

After all, I really don’t want to be a heroine, nor do I want to serve the world, and I don’t want to do nothing.

After Shen Jiaren arrived at the recycling station, she took off the clothes and makeup on her face on the way. She put the clothes in the backpack on her back, and wiped the makeup on her face with clothes until nothing was wiped off, so she gave up and continued to remove her makeup.

After Shen Jiaren entered the recycling station, she ran straight to the room where books and newspapers were kept. This time, Shen Jiaren began to tidy up the messy things in the room.

But this time Shen Jiaren was not in a hurry. She sorted and selected things that interested her.

There is a theory of contradiction, Selected Works of Mao Zedong, which has been revived, and a collection of literary and historical materials. The most important thing is that there are also the People's Handbook and the Barefoot Doctor's Handbook, which were published only a few years ago, and there are also a hundred thousand whys.

Shen Jiaren flipped through the pages for a long time and found some comic books and newspapers with literary novels written on them.

There were some words and some things that Shen Jiaren didn't recognize.

With the belief that she would rather buy the wrong books or buy too much than miss out on interesting and useful books, Shen Jiaren packed up some books and newspapers and did not sort them out anymore. She went to find the second uncle with her things, intending to buy the books back and read them slowly.

Shen Jiaren took the things and walked to the door of the recycling station. The second uncle saw Shen Jiaren carrying so many things and said with a smile, "Is the wall of your house bigger than the Tiananmen Square in Beijing?

Last time I said I wanted to buy something to paste on the wall but I didn’t buy it. This time I bought so much, how many layers do you plan to paste when you get home?”

Shen Jiaren smiled and replied, "Uncle, I'm not good at making fire, so I have to use paper to light it. I think these things are good for making fire, so I bought them back to make fire.

Of course, you can also take a look occasionally to broaden your horizons.”

When the second uncle heard Shen Jiaren's final truth, he also knew that walls might have ears in this era, so he said to Shen Jiaren, "The books you took last time have the same words and patterns. I found a few of them this time and left them here for you. Do you still want them?

There is another thing. Last time you asked me to pay attention to high school books, I haven’t seen any recently. There are some basic books for the third year of junior high school. Do you want them?”

Shen Jiaren thought about what book she had taken last time. It seemed to be a basic book about traditional Chinese medicine. She hadn't read what book it was since she took it back. It seemed that it had been placed in the manor and had never been moved. She didn't know what it was about.

Also, last time I just mentioned it casually, wanting the old man to help keep an eye out for it, but I didn’t expect that the second uncle would really pay attention to it for me.

Hearing the uncle's embarrassed words, he quickly replied, "Second uncle, yes, I want these books."

Shen Jiaren thought for a moment and continued, "Second Uncle, next time you come across a cover with words you don't recognize that looks complicated, save them for me. This kind of paper wall is very useful."

When the second uncle heard what Shen Jiaren said, he shook his head, said nothing, turned into his room, and took out the book he had left for the girl.

After all, this girl was brought here by his niece Qiumei, so this kind of thing could be easily solved.

Shen Jiaren placed the books she had chosen at the door of the second uncle's room. The second uncle also took out five or six books and placed them on top of the books chosen by Shen Jiaren.

"This time we have a lot of books, as well as some newspapers and the like, so we won't just calculate the price, we'll just weigh them, one cent per pound, is that ok with that?"

Shen Jiaren quickly replied, "Sure, sure."

As Shen Jiaren was speaking, she took advantage of the moment when the Second Uncle was weighing things and took out ten eggs from the manor, and put them in the basket, preparing to leave them for the uncle to eat later.

After all, although this era is not said to be so good, now that the old man treats me sincerely, I should also be sincere in return.

Although eggs may seem rare to others, to Shen Jiaren, who owns a manor, this thing is not that precious. On the contrary, the things she exchanges for eggs are more precious.

When the old man was weighing the things, he saw a few comic books inside, so he said to Shen Jiaren, "Do you still like reading storybooks?

These comic strips are all short stories, do you like them too?"

When Shen Jiaren heard the second uncle suddenly speak, she was so scared that her hands shook and she almost dropped the eggs in her hand into the basket.

Shen Jiaren calmed down and said to the old man in a steady tone, "I like it. I really like this kind of comic strips, especially the ones about ghosts, myths, and the anti-Japanese war, all kinds of short stories and so on."

When the second uncle heard what Shen Jiaren said, he coughed a few times and said, "Child, if you like to read comic books, you just like to read comic books. If you say too much, I don't know too much. This is a little over 15 kilograms. I will charge you 15 kilograms. Just give me 15 cents."

After Shen Jiaren nodded twice, she gave the money to the second uncle.

After Shen Jiaren gave the money to the second uncle, she suddenly remembered that she had asked the second uncle to help pay attention to the furniture for storing things last time. She wondered if it was there now. "By the way, second uncle, last time I asked you to help keep some furniture, furniture for storing things, etc., have you noticed it?"

When the second uncle heard Shen Jiaren ask her this, he said to her, "I can only pay attention to this furniture if someone comes to sell it to you.

Winter was coming soon, so the Red Guards were sent to search the house, and the furniture was picked up by others to use as firewood.

If you are in a hurry, you'd better find someone to buy one, or just look around in my yard to see if there is anything you like."

Shen Jiaren thought about it and wanted to take advantage of the lunch time to sell some food and eggs. "Second Uncle, I have something else to do this afternoon. I don't have time to look around your yard. I'll take a closer look next time I come."

After hearing this, the old man smiled and said nothing.

Seeing this, Shen Jiaren started taking out eggs from the backpack. After putting the eggs aside, she put the books into the backpack.

When the old man saw Shen Jiaren like this, he quickly said, "Baby, why did you put the book in and let the egg out?

In this era, food is precious, especially eggs, which are even more precious. "

Shen Jiaren smiled shyly and said, "Uncle, these are the eggs I brought for you to nourish your body.

Just ten, not too many, not too few.

Uncle, please don't despise me."

When the old man heard what Shen Jiaren said, "Ten? Ten is already a lot, why would you give such precious things to an old man like me?

I hardly work anymore, so there's no point in eating these.

Take it back and eat it yourself.

It's almost winter, and even if you don't eat the eggs, you can exchange them for some food or other things for your own use.

It's a waste to give it to an old man like me."

"How is it a waste? I have selfish motives.

I would like to ask the old man to help keep an eye on books, furniture and the like.

It is not given for nothing.

Uncle, you don't have to worry about not getting rewarded without merit. After all, you have collected so many books for me.

Just take the eggs and eat them. I'm leaving now.

Goodbye, sir."

After saying that, Shen Jiaren carried the basket on her back and walked quickly out of the recycling station.

The old man saw that Shen Jiaren disappeared in a few steps. He walked out of the recycling station, sighed, squatted on the ground, touched the eggs left by Shen Jiaren, and his eyes suddenly began to feel sore.

After Shen Jiaren came out of the recycling station, she put the things in the backpack into the warehouse inside the manor instead of the warehouse outside the manor. After all, the warehouse outside the manor was of great use to her, and the warehouse inside the manor was already filled with various categories, so she didn't care about adding more categories.

After Shen Jiaren came out of the alley, she went to the Xinhua Bookstore. She thought about how she had asked Su Hongmei's sister Su Qiumei to help her buy books and materials for high school, and wondered how she was doing now.

After Shen Jiaren entered Xinhua Bookstore, she started looking for Su Qiumei to see if she had bought any books. Before Shen Jiaren saw someone familiar, she saw someone who looked like Su Hongmei walking towards her, saying, "I've been waiting for you for so many days, and I thought you weren't coming."

Seeing this, Shen Jiaren narrowed her eyes and said, "Didn't the village harvest the autumn harvest a few days ago? I didn't have time to come and pick it up. Now I have time today, so I came here to ask what's going on."

"Here we are. The books and materials you asked me to buy are all back. I also used the remaining money to buy you some other materials. I still have 30 cents left. Did you bring the deposit slip? If not, it will probably be a bit troublesome."

"I have it, I have it." After saying that, Shen Jiaren took the opportunity to take something out of her pocket, took out the deposit slip from the manor and handed it to Su Qiumei.

Su Qiumei took the deposit slip, completed the registration, and went to the back to get a stack of books wrapped in yellow paper.

When Su Qiumei handed over the books, she also handed Shen Jiaren three cents and a receipt, "Here, this is the remaining money and the receipt for these books, with the names and prices of the books.

You keep it."

Shen Jiaren took the book and casually put it into the backpack she was carrying. She put the money and bills directly into her pocket and put them into the manor.

"Thank you, Sister Qiumei. If I need to buy books again, I will come to you again."

"Sure, welcome, welcome."

Shen Jiaren smiled and was about to turn around and leave with the basket on her back, but when she thought about how she had no relevant channels to receive news from the outside world, she would not know what was happening in the outside world. She also thought about how she had just seen a lot of newspapers in the recycling station, so she asked, "Sister Qiumei, do you know where I can order newspapers?

I'd like to order a newspaper."

"Newspapers? We don't have them here. We need to order them from the post office.

After you make the reservation, the postman from the post office will deliver it to you at a fixed time. You don’t need to come every time.”

Shen Jiaren nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Qiumei, thank you. I'm leaving now."

"let's go."

After saying this, Shen Jiaren carried her bamboo bag and walked out of the Xinhua Bookstore.

After Shen Jiaren walked out of the Xinhua Bookstore, she began to wonder whether she should go to the post office to order newspapers first or go to sell rice and eggs first.

After all, I only earned about fifteen yuan today, and spent a few cents.

Shen Jiaren thought again, it's almost noon, eating is also a problem. Should we go to the state-owned restaurant to eat first?

Shen Jiaren stood on the side of the road and thought for a while.

While she was struggling with the dilemma, Shen Jiaren suddenly smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the state-owned restaurant diagonally opposite.

Shen Jiaren decided that everything else was just a passing cloud and that filling her stomach was the most important thing.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren walked towards the state-owned hotel.
