Chapter 23 The Educated Youth's Dream of Returning to the City 7

The newly arrived educated youth wanted to go to the commune supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, so Wen Wan asked for a day off from the team and went to the forest early in the morning. She had exercised her body by working these days, so she tried to find herbs. When she entered the forest, she didn't see any herbs, but she encountered two rabbits walking. She picked up a few stones from the ground and threw them at them, hitting them with one shot.

After confirming that there was no one around, he put the wild rabbit into his body and continued walking forward. After another four miles, he finally found a wild ginseng on a cliff, as well as cranesbill, hemostatic vine, and wild yam.

In many time-travel novels, it is believed that northern ginseng is like cabbage and can be found on the roadside. However, the ginseng she found was not more than ten years old, but it was indeed growing well. She walked and moved, and when she entered the forest twelve miles, she also found several Ganoderma lucidum, and moved them into the space together with the dead trees.

The game was stored in a 60-square-meter warehouse, and plants were planted in the black soil within the inner space. In this way, he stopped and started, and hunted a wild deer, six hares, found three nests of pheasant eggs, and shot four pheasants.

It was the fifth or sixth month of the lunar calendar, and she avoided pregnant rabbits and only hunted male rabbits.

The interstellar civilization's dedicated space warehouse system surprisingly preserves food, acting as a refrigerator. Food remains fresh when taken out, allowing for easy access to food without worrying about spoilage or expiration. She discovered that the 30-square-meter warehouse was ideal for rice and flour, while the 60-square-meter warehouse was perfect for meat products, with the dedicated meat container being the most suitable.

Wen Wan remembered that she had made an appointment with Luo Hongying earlier to go to the commune together in the afternoon.

Luo Hongying wanted to send a letter to her family and buy some daily necessities.

Wen Wan wanted to go to the commune because Shibaozi Commune was close to the forest. The commune's supply and marketing society collected some mountain products for the county and city material bureaus. She could directly exchange the mountain products for oil and cloth. Even some daily necessities could be exchanged, but things like cloth required cloth products.

"If you encounter someone from the Materials Bureau, you can privately exchange cloth coupons, sugar coupons, and grain coupons with them. As long as your mountain products are good, there's nothing you can't exchange for them."

Wen Wan went into the forest once and had a good harvest. She came out with a rabbit and two pheasants. When she arrived at the educated youth point, Luo Hongying had already prepared lunch.

A male educated youth said, "Lu Wenwan, you are quite courageous. You dare to go into the forest alone."

"I didn't dare go in, so I just walked around the outskirts of the forest. I was lucky enough to get a rabbit and two pheasants. I stewed the chicken with mushrooms that night, and I took the rabbit to the commune supply and marketing cooperative in the afternoon to exchange for daily necessities."

When they heard that two pheasants were going to be stewed, the educated youth were very happy.

Luo Hongying pulled Wen Wan aside and said, "You are too generous. Even if a male educated youth kills prey, the most he can give out is a pheasant."

"I've always eaten the meat they hunted, but I haven't treated them to it yet. It doesn't matter."

If she wanted to hunt, she could go into the forest.

Everyone at the educated youth camp knew Wen Wan's situation from Luo Hongying. Heartbroken by her family, she no longer wanted to contact her father and brother. She also didn't expect them to give her money. After all, her brother had taken her 100 yuan subsidy for going to the countryside, and her stepmother had given her hard-earned job to her stepsister.

She didn't have much money, and the only money she had was the 70 yuan she got from exchanging her place in the countryside with Zhang Cuihua. Otherwise, she would be even poorer.

In the afternoon, when the five educated youth went to the commune, Wen Wan traded a fat rabbit for a pound of brown sugar and a bottle of soybean paste. She also bought a new set of clothes, a military water bottle, a military canvas bag, and a new quilt. It was summer, so buying these things was easier; they would be impossible to find in the cold. She also bought a large cotton-padded jacket, a pair of large cotton trousers, and large fur boots from Northeast China.

After buying these things, she spent all the money she had.

She dared to spend so much because she heard that the county would hold a dragon boat race this year during the Dragon Boat Festival. Each commune would first compete among themselves, and the first place winner would go to the Heihe River in the county to compete. On the fifth day of the fifth month, the commune would have a day off for the race, and on the fifteenth day of the fifth month, the county would also have a day off for the race.

After a two-day holiday, she planned to return to work on the fifth day of May, then take another day off on the fourteenth to travel to Linxi City. In the original owner's memory, the director of the Linxi Revolutionary Committee was a wicked and corrupt man who had committed countless evil deeds. His home contained a large collection of antiques, gold, silver, calligraphy, and paintings, as well as a considerable amount of money.

During the Spring Festival the next year, the director of the Revolutionary Committee went out for a stroll with his mistress, and his wife took the children back to her parents' home. They were visited by several thieves, who discovered the huge amount of money and gold and silver hidden in the director of the Revolutionary Committee's home. They were so scared that they gave up stealing and wrote letters of denunciation to the Revolutionary Committee of the neighboring city and the Revolutionary Committee of the province. They wrote so many letters of denunciation that after a month, the higher-ups sent people to investigate.

Heilongjiang Province was once the gathering place of the last royal family and aristocrats, so there are many precious cultural relics and antiques, including aristocratic tombs and those privately hidden by the last aristocrats in mansions and palaces.

Wen Wan emptied the house of the director of the Revolutionary Committee of the neighboring county, but the director did not dare to report to the police for fear that his corruption would be exposed. He dug a basement in his house, and the 20-square-meter space was filled with antique vases, ornaments, and a box of jewelry.

The big bed in the master bedroom on the second floor is designed like a cabinet. When you remove the mat on it, you will find that 70% of the space is covered with silver bricks, 20% with gold bricks, and the remaining 10% is filled with bundles of Great Unity and various food coupons, cloth coupons, sugar coupons, industrial coupons, etc., ranging from those used only in Heilongjiang Province to those used nationwide.

Wen Wan changed her mind and took everything into her own body space.

She heard the sound of the gate opening outside and immediately hid in the basement.

The old lady next door asked, "Yufeng, are you here to help your brother and sister-in-law clean the house again?"

"My brother and sister-in-law are busy with work, some are on business trips, and my sister-in-law went back to her parents' home to celebrate my aunt's birthday. Our factory happened to be closed for the holiday, so I came over to help clean up."

The sister of the director of the Revolutionary Committee was busy until almost noon. She first swept the floor, then mopped it, and finally wiped it. She even collected the dirty clothes from the bedrooms on the first and second floors and washed them.

Until the old lady next door said, "Yufeng, you are home alone. I have prepared lunch. Let's eat together and then clean up."

"It's so embarrassing to eat at Aunt Liu's house again."

"We're all neighbors, there's no need to be so distant."

After she left, Wen Wan made sure that everyone in the alley was cooking and eating before she quietly slipped out. When she came back, she changed her appearance and disguised herself as an old lady. She held a basket in her hand and randomly placed some provincial grain coupons, sugar coupons, cloth coupons, etc. from the space. She didn't dare to take consecutive numbers, so she took a few from this bundle and a few from that bundle and mixed them together.

When we get to the black market in the county, we exchange these tickets for national tickets. To exchange a grain ticket with a face value of one jin from the black province for a national ticket with a face value of one jin, we need to add eight cents, sugar ticket needs to add 12 cents, and cloth ticket needs to add 1 cent.
