I was a daigou in the 60s

Chapter 2 Novice Tasks

The weather was hot, and a sheet covering the belly was placed on the mat, which exuded the lily scent of soapberries.

Xiao Dongqing covered himself with the bed sheet, staring at the system in front of him with an excited look.

Name: Xiao Dongqing

Age: 20

Level: Shopping Novice

Probability of receiving extra items when shopping: 1%

Total shopping amount: 0

Rebate ratio: changes according to the difficulty of the task

Cumulative rebate amount: 0

He has studied this [Purchasing Agent System] carefully.

This thing is definitely a cheat!

By completing the tasks issued by the system in the 60s, purchasing for modern people, and accumulating consumption amounts, you can not only receive additional consumer rebates, but also activate the store's in-store purchase system.

Although we don’t know what’s in the store yet, since we’ve already started cheating, how can the things inside be bad?

Xiao Dongqing lay on the bed and couldn't help laughing a few times.

The uneasiness brought by the time travel disappeared, and life was suddenly full of hope.

【Newbie Task】

Mr. Wang from the nursing home misses the taste of his childhood. Please buy him a pound of Laodongmen bulk candy.

【Rebate amount: 30%】

[Random novice reward]

【The principal will be returned at the same time after the purchase is completed】

Xiao Dongqing tossed and turned, feeling a little excited.

Thirty percent, huge profits!

The sun was rising, and outside the window I could hear the crowing of roosters and the ding-ding-ding of the postman's bicycle.

Xiao Dongqing, who hadn't slept much for half the night, quickly put on his shirt and got up.

In the bathroom, Su Zhilan was washing her face with hot water.

Xiao Dongqing stood behind her, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

The candies at Laodongmen are not cheap, at least 50 cents per pound.

He originally wanted to ask Su Zhilan to borrow some money to complete the novice task, but when he saw her rolling up the empty hand cream into a ball and squeezing out the last bit to apply on her hands, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.

After all, Su Zhilan's monthly salary is only four dollars and fifty cents.

Su Zhilan saw Xiao Dongqing in the mirror and said as she fixed her hair, "I have to go to work at the textile factory. When I'm not here during the day, please help take care of Tiantian. Her blood sugar is very low and she needs to take medicine on time."

"no problem."

Xiao Dongqing thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, saying with a smile, "It just so happens that I'm not familiar with this area either. I can ask Tiantian to show me the way."

Hearing this, Bai Zhilan's expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Just stay at home, don't take Tiantian out."

Xiao Dongqing looked at her face carefully, feeling three parts sad and seven parts bitter.

He probably understood that she didn't want Tiantian to be looked down upon by the neighbors. After all... the neighbors basically knew all the rumors about her.

"Mom! I want to go out and play with uncle!"

Tiantian ran barefoot from the bedroom into the bathroom, hugging Su Zhilan's legs and acting coquettishly.

"Mom, I don't want to be at home every day while other kids go out and play."

"Tiantian..."

Su Zhilan felt distressed and didn't know how to explain it to her.

At this time, Xiao Dongqing took the initiative to hold Tiantian in his arms.

He smiled and said, "Tiantian wants to go out and play, then let's go out and play. Dad hasn't been home for so many years, it's time for the neighbors to get to know him."

Hearing this, Su Zhilan was stunned and looked incredulous.

She knew that she had a bad reputation outside, and she also knew why Xiao Dongqing married her.

He wanted to stay in the city, and she wanted to find a father for her daughter.

I thought that after marriage, we would each get what we want and not interfere with each other, but he actually did this...

Could it be... that he still remembers?

Su Zhilan had a complicated expression and bit her lips lightly.

"Yes, uncle."

Tiantian didn't dare to look at Xiao Dongqing, she lowered her head and timidly "corrected".

"Don't mind it."

Su Zhilan took her daughter from Xiao Dongqing's arms and tossed the hair back from her eyes. "The child is still young, and it's a little hard for her to accept it all of a sudden, so I'll let her call me uncle first."

"I don't mind, I don't mind."

Xiao Dongqing smiled nonchalantly, then reached out and brushed the hair that was in the way behind her eyes. "Children are afraid of strangers. They will be fine once they get used to it."

The sudden intimate action made Su Zhilan look at a loss.

She hurried out of the bathroom holding Tiantian in her arms, "You wash up first, I'll wash the child later."

The scent of lilies lingered on his fingertips, and Xiao Dongqing couldn't help laughing.

He just saw Su Zhilan being tickled by her hair and couldn't free his hands, so he couldn't help himself...

Unexpectedly, she was shy.

What a simpler time...

You have to know that after decades, it will be difficult to comment.

After dinner, Xiao Dongqing held Tiantian in his arms, rode on her head, and paraded her through the streets.

He tells everyone that he is Tiantian’s father. He worked in another place in the past few years and only returned to his hometown this year.

Most of the people in the old neighborhood are poor, and no one knows who he is or what he did in the past.

Several middle-aged women sat together and held a meeting. They felt that no man would take on such a notorious job with a burden, so they all agreed that what he said was true.

In just half a day, Su Zhilan's reputation miraculously improved.

Xiao Dongqing carried Tiantian around, scanning the street vendors, trying to find an idea to make some money without too much cost.

"Brother, let me tell you, I won a prize when I bought soda yesterday."

"Is it true? How much did you win?"

"One hundred dollars!"

Two men in gray work clothes passed by Xiao Dongqing. The one with a shaved head carefully took out the soda bottle cap. The more they talked, the more excited they became.

"Hurry up and put the bottle cap away. We'll go claim the prize after get off work at noon."

"Good good."

The man with the flat head hurriedly put the bottle cap into his pocket.

But he didn't notice the hole in his pocket, and after walking a few steps, the bottle cap fell out and rolled to Xiao Dongqing's feet.

The two people in front seemed to be completely unaware and quickly disappeared around the corner of the street.

Staring at the bottle cap, Xiao Dongqing suddenly smiled.

It's interesting that he got something out of the ordinary.

If he hadn't heard similar stories from his grandfather when he was a child, he might not have believed it.

Xiao Dongqing thought for a moment, then bent down and picked up the bottle cap.

At the same time, there was movement behind him.

"stop."

The man who came was a young man wearing a flowered shirt and jeans. He stared at Xiao Dongqing with a forced smile and said, "I saw that the bottle cap is not yours."

"so what?"

Xiao Dongqing tilted his head to look at him, "Do you want to hand it over to the police?"

"If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard."

The man in the flowered shirt sneered, "Split it in half. Just give me fifty dollars and then go claim the prize. Otherwise, don't even think about taking it all for yourself."

really.

After hearing this, Xiao Dongqing became more and more certain that this was a scam.

The bottle cap was the bait and the floral shirt was the hook, in order to cheat him out of fifty dollars.

As for the winning bottle cap, of course it can't be real.

"This……"

Xiao Dongqing pretended to be embarrassed and smacked his lips and said, "I don't have fifty yuan on me. I have to go home and get some."

"No, what if you run away?"

The man in the flowered shirt shook his head and said with a stern face, "You must pay me now."

Xiao Dongqing sighed, then suggested: "How about this, I'll leave the bottle cap with you, and then go back to get it. We are all good comrades, and I trust you."

The man in the flowered shirt was a little dumbfounded. Isn’t this guy too naive?

This is a bottle cap worth a hundred dollars!

"Okay then, go ahead. I'll definitely be waiting for you here."

"Got it."

Xiao Dongqing walked hurriedly, turned a corner into the alley, and turned back not long after.

The man in the flowered shirt's eyes lit up, "So soon?"

Xiao Dongqing panted and shook his head, saying, "I'm so sorry, I forgot my key at home and the door is locked. Can you lend me five dollars to hire a locksmith?"

"This……"

The man in the flowered shirt looked embarrassed.

"Comrade, how about this? Let's go claim the prize together and split it evenly on the spot."

Seeing that Hua Shirt hesitated, Xiao Dongqing proposed again.

Of course, he couldn't redeem the prize with the man wearing the floral shirt. This bottle cap couldn't be more fake.

"I...I have to go to work soon, so I don't have time to go with you."

As he said that, the man in the flowered shirt made up his mind and took out five yuan from his pocket and slapped it into Xiao Dongqing's hand, "Go and unlock it quickly, I'll wait for you here."

"Good, good, comrade, you are a really good person."

Xiao Dongqing put the five dollars in his pocket and ran away.

The man in the flowered shirt held the bottle cap and grinned.

"What a fool."

However, two hours later, Xiao Dongqing never came back, and it was only then that Hua Shanche realized the problem.

He threw the bottle cap to the ground in anger and cursed, "How dare you lie to me!"

Xiao Dongqing, who had picked up five yuan for nothing, had already arrived at the Trade City. He stopped with the five yuan in his pocket, pinched Tiantian's cheek and said, "Tiantian, do you want some candy?"

What child doesn’t like sweets? Tiantian swallowed her saliva and nodded repeatedly.

"eat!"

"Let's go, enough is enough."

Xiao Dongqing turned and entered the commercial city, intending to spend some money.

"Hey, isn't this the eldest young master of our Xiao family?"

As soon as I entered the trade city, I heard a familiar sarcastic voice.

The man, dressed in a suit and tie, with gleaming leather shoes, said with disdain, "I never thought you'd become such a pauper that you'd still dare to come into the Trade City to spend money?"
