In the end, the man and woman were sent to the police station by the captain and his team members, and someone was sent to notify the captain of the next-door captain.

Shen Nian continued to break the corn, she felt that she couldn't even look at the cornfield.

As the couple was led away, everyone's attention gradually shifted away from them and returned to the arduous work of harvesting. Shen Nian also put on his straw hat again and continued to pick corn.

After work, Shen Nian learned from other members that the man and woman were beaten by members from their team who came over.

They asked the team leader to hand the two people over to their team, but he refused firmly and sent them to the police station. This incident became a hot topic in the team after dinner.

In mid-October, the busy autumn harvest finally came to an end.

As soon as the autumn harvest was over, Shen Nian took the Shen Nian'an brothers to the team leader's house. It was easier to get things done with the team leader around. In the end, Shen Nian packed the two brothers into school as quickly as possible.

The school is in the Qingshan Brigade next door, which takes more than half an hour to walk. Shen Nian didn’t feel it was far. In this day and age, it is normal to walk to school for an hour. There are also children in the team who go to school, so the children have company.

The Shen Nian'an brothers have been in an excited state since they started school. They study in class, read while picking up firewood on the way home from school, and continue reading after dinner.

Shen Nian didn't care about them. Loving to read is a good thing. Maybe after a few days when the excitement comes, it won't be like this anymore. So he just let them be.

After the autumn harvest, every household in the team began to move to the mountains to prepare firewood for the winter, or pick some wild fruits.

Shen Nian is going to town today. This is her second time going to town after going to the countryside. Shen Nian'an and his brother cannot go with her because they have to go to school.

Shen Nian was also happy and at ease. He carried a bamboo basket and followed the team on the ox cart.

She strolled leisurely in the town. She went to the post office first. She originally wanted to see if there was any letter from Uncle Zhang, but ended up picking up three packages.

She didn't know the senders of two of the packages, and only after repeatedly confirming with the post office that the packages were hers did Shen Nian take them away.

After finding a deserted place and throwing the package into the space, Shen Nian continued to stroll around the town.

Unconsciously, he walked to the door of the health center. Shen Nian looked up at the hospital at that time. It really could not be compared with the big hospitals in later generations.

"Little sister, do you have any eggs?"

Shen Nian was about to leave when she heard someone talking. She looked around and saw an old lady standing next to her, staring at the bamboo basket she was carrying.

Are you treating her as a buyer?

Shen Nian's eyes rolled quickly. Can he make money from this?

"Auntie, what do you want?"

When the aunt heard Shen Nian ask this, she thought there was hope and quickly replied, "My daughter just gave birth. Do you have eggs, rice, flour, etc.? It would be even better if we could have an old hen!"

Shen Nian nodded: "Yes, yes, but you have to wait a moment, I need to go back and get it."

Shen Nian said that it is unreasonable to let the money slip away when it is delivered to your door!

The auntie responded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, go ahead. I'll wait for you here. Just take more!"

Shen Nian carried the basket and found an empty corner before entering the space. She first went to find the cosmetics she had bought before, put on a middle-aged makeup, changed into a suitable set of clothes, and changed the basket. She prepared everything before leaving the space.

Before she reached the clinic, she saw the aunt still waiting for her under the tree.

Shen Nian walked over with the basket on her back. The aunt looked at her, and she also looked at the aunt.

"Sister, are you here to deliver eggs?" The aunt looked at Shen Nian and asked tentatively.

Shen Nian put down the backpack and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, my daughter asked me to come!"

The auntie's face lit up when she heard this: "The one with short hair, big eyes, and pretty face?"

Shen Nian nodded repeatedly, put down the bamboo basket, and lifted the cloth covering it to show the aunt.

The aunt came over to take a look and could not hide the joy on her face.

"How do you sell this?"

"I have thirty eggs, ten pounds of flour, ten pounds of rice, and two old hens."

This was Shen Nian's first time doing this, so he didn't dare to take too much at once. The amount was not too little, but not too much either.

"Eggs are seven cents each, white flour is fifty cents per pound, rice is one dollar per pound, and old hens are five dollars each. I only need money, no tickets needed." Shen Nian answered quickly.

The aunt looked at the chicken in the bag, then at the food in the basket. Everything was better than what she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, except for the rice, which was much more expensive. "Big sister, can you give me a discount on this rice? Fifty cents! I want it all!"

Shen Nian was not in a hurry and smiled: "Big sister! I can see that you also know the market! You certainly can't compare my products with the supply and marketing cooperative, but if you compare them with other places, my prices are similar to theirs, the quality is better than theirs, and there is no risk, right? You have to let me make some money!"

Seeing Shen Nian like this, the aunt knew that she couldn't bargain, so she simply pointed at the two old hens and said, "Can I have both of them?"

Shen Nian pretended to think for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll give you both old hens, that's a total of twenty-seven dollars and ten cents. I'll charge you ten cents less, you give me twenty-seven dollars."

When the aunt heard that the fee would be reduced by one cent, she couldn't stop smiling, and Shen Nian's smile also didn't stop.

The two quickly paid and delivered the goods. Before leaving, the aunt asked her, "Sister, when will you come next time?"

"I'm not sure when I'll come back next time." Shen Nian shook her head. She was not sure when she would come to town next time.

"Then I'll wait for you here in ten days. If you come, come find me here?" the aunt asked after hesitating.

Shen Nian nodded, and the aunt hurried away with her things.

Shen Nian looked at the twenty-seven yuan in his hand. Even a small amount is still money! He slipped it into his pocket and put it into the space.

Just as Shen Nian was about to pick up the backpack, he was stopped again.

"Big sister, do you have any eggs left? Do you have any pork bones for sale?"

This time it was an old lady who had been observing the two for a while. "My eldest grandson broke his hand while playing! The bone fracture tickets the doctor gave me are limited and they're not enough for my grandson. I want to buy some more."

Shen Nian... Is today an auspicious day for her to get rich?

"Pork bones are a bit difficult to deal with, you'll have to wait for a while!" Shen Nian said to the old lady.

The old lady agreed immediately, and when Shen Nian came back, she made ten yuan and forty cents from selling the goods.

For most of the next day, Shen Nian changed into different kinds of makeup and earned more than a hundred yuan by selling them near the clinic.

After Shen Nian took off her makeup and went to the supply and marketing cooperative, she found that the cooperative actually sold fruits and seafood. Then she thought that Liao Province was close to the sea, so it was normal to have seafood. It seemed that Shen Nian and An were in for a treat today.

Shen Nian, who had made money today, waved her hand and used the almost expired tickets that Uncle Zhang and his wife had given her before going to the countryside. After buying things, she left the supply and marketing cooperative.

The people on the ox cart looked at Shen Nian with their eyes wide open as they saw that he had another full backpack and several large packages. Shen Nian didn't care and let them see them openly.

"Shen Zhiqing, is this something your family sent you?" asked an aunt in the team.

Shen Nian didn't know who sent it, but she nodded: "Yes, aunt, my uncle and aunt sent it!"

"You are a good uncle and aunt!"

There was envy in everyone's eyes, especially those educated youth. As an educated youth, Shen Zhiqing received large and small packages, but they not only did not receive the packages sent from home, but some of them even had to have some packages sent back home!

Shen Nian did not intend to keep a low profile. After all, it was only 72, and she would have to stay in the Shuangxi Brigade for at least five years. She did not want to pretend to be poor, eating coarse food all day long, and having to eat good food in secret.

She had the conditions, so why should she be so hard on herself? She would do her best to create good living conditions for herself and her brothers, and the rent money Uncle Zhang sent every month could serve as a cover.

Anyway, she didn't steal it, nor did she rob it. It's other people's business if they are jealous and envious.

Shen Nian heard someone whispering behind her all the way.

Shen Nian moved her ears and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Let it spread. It would be even better if it spread. From now on, she can eat whatever she wants openly.
