Chapter 11 Another Lottery

It is a bit unreasonable to wait for dinner when you are idle at home.

Seeing that several people in the family have not finished work, Liu Qingqing cooked a pot of sweet potato millet porridge without vegetable leaves.

She really doesn't like salty soup with sweet potatoes and vegetable leaves.

She picked eggplant and loofah from the yard, and took out two eggs laid today from under the chicken's butt, and stewed a loofah egg and potato eggplant.

The eggs that were usually collected were locked up by my mother.

She took advantage of the little girl's carelessness and smuggled another egg in.

There are so many people, it won't be enough if there is less.

If you put too much, you are afraid that people will see it.

Eggplant is a dish that requires oil. If you want to make it delicious, add more oil, stir-fry it and then stew it.

Liu Lili squatted under the big pot and burned the fire, swallowing her saliva at the aroma coming from the pot.

"Auntie, your cooking is so delicious."

Liu Qingqing didn't say anything, thinking that during the time she was back at her parents' home, she could only cook this one meal.

The oil and water in this meal is the amount used in a normal month, how could it not be delicious?

Liu's mother immediately noticed something wrong as soon as she stepped into the door.

She threw her arms and ran as fast as she could, groaning as she went to the kitchen.

When she saw the food on the table, she wanted to pinch Liu Qingqing.

"You poor bastard, how much soy sauce do you need to make fried eggs? How many things in the house can withstand your bullshit?"

Liu Qingqing calmly served a bowl of food: "You told my mother-in-law that I have suffered a lot and need to make up for it. Besides, you have already charged me 3.68 yuan, and the promised meat has not been cut yet. What's wrong with me eating your two eggs? That much money is enough to stew a chicken."

Liu's mother pulled the corner of her mouth: "If you want to recover, go back to your mother-in-law's house, don't come back to bully me."

"That won't do. I have to eat my 3.68 yuan back anyway."

Liu Qingqing felt that she was addicted to quarreling with this old lady, and she was very happy every time.

Liu's mother didn't say anything. The mention of money was like strangling her lifeline.

The confrontation between Liu's mother and Liu Qingqing did not affect the actions of others. While Liu's mother didn't react, she stuffed eggs into her mouth.

When Liu's mother was furious, she looked at the table and became even angrier.

She grabbed the plate and put all the remaining eggs in the dishes into her bowl.

As for Liu Qingqing, she served a bowl at the beginning. She couldn't treat herself badly.

Probably because she was angry, even Liu Lili didn't get the share that grandma had.

The little girl blinked her eyes and didn't say a word.

This is also a little smart. She knows when to act cute and when to keep silent.

Liu Qingqing took a chopstick from her bowl and gave it to her, which earned her an admiring look.

With a little money in her pocket, she couldn't help but go to the lottery again.

Before the newly acquired seven yuan was even warm in her pocket, she had already tapped it three times.

She didn't bother staring at the rotating track, she tapped it three times in a row and waited for the result.

"Handmade stone mill by Wang the stonemason of Hexi Brigade"

"One bicycle ticket"

"One pound of White Rabbit milk candy * 5 from the Wuning Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative"

...

It's quite practical.

There's nothing wrong with it, and it's even what she needs.

The corn in the space is ripe, and she broke off a lot of fresh cobs while they were still tender.

After everyone at home left, she cooked all the corn in a big pot and stored it in the space.

This boiled corn was not as soft, sweet and fragrant as the glutinous corn she bought in later life. The taste was very ordinary, so she could only give up the plan of cooking fresh corn with some regret.

After the remaining corn was ripe and the kernels were peeled, she was a little worried about how to take it out for grinding.

The stone mills in the village were all in the production team yard. It would attract too much attention if she took things to grind.

What she was thinking about a second ago, a stone mill for grinding flour appeared.

Liu Qingqing doubted the intelligence of this machine.

It could arrange whatever she needed. Could it really be just an emotionless lottery machine?

If she planted rice, would she draw a stone mill to remove the shells?

Thinking about it this way, she really likes rice.

However, Taoshan Village does not grow rice, so it is useless to think about it.

Fortunately, she does not need to push the putter in circles in the space.

It seems that because the raw materials and tools are all from this era, the flour ground out is not fine and the color is almost the same.

After receiving the wheat grains exchanged by Liu Lili in the afternoon, she was so happy that she wanted to fly.

The day when she eats white flour steamed buns is just around the corner.

Although it has not grown yet, she has already thought about it.

Grind a bag of white flour specifically, and don't bring any bran.

Although it has not been here for a few days, she has already had enough of the sore throat caused by bran.

Liu Lili didn't bring back many grains of wheat, and Fathead probably didn't hide much either.

She threw them into the field, but not even a corner was planted, so she had no choice but to plant corn again in the remaining space.

Let's wait for the days of eating white flour. After this wave of wheat matures, we have to save the seeds for planting again.

She stayed at her mother's house for two days, and every time she heard her mother moaning, she felt exhausted.

Liu Qingqing searched her original memory and found out that there is no such thing as a household registration book now, and only people in the city have one.

After thinking about it, she decided to change her name to make her feel comfortable. After dinner, she went to the village chief's house.

It would be too eye-catching to give gifts to the team, so it would be better to go to his home.

The village chief's eldest son had been in the army for many years, his youngest son worked in a processing factory in the town, and his daughter got married this year, so only the old couple were left.

When she reached the door, she cut out two feet of Dacron from the space and tucked it under her armpits.

It wasn't that she was stingy. This kind of fabric didn't keep her warm in winter and wasn't breathable in summer. It had no other advantages except being strong and durable, so she didn't need to keep it.

But it was her first time giving something away, and she wasn't asking for anything big. If she was too generous, it would arouse suspicion and she would be easily taken advantage of in the future.

The gift was too ordinary, and the village chief's family was not bad, so they wouldn't care too much.

Although her two feet of cloth couldn't make a short-sleeved shirt, Dacron was a rare fabric at that time. The cloth coupons of the villagers were tight, and the whole family might not have enough to make a piece of clothing by the end of the year.

So the gift she gave was not light.

The village chief didn't like Liu Qingqing, a kid who didn't work and caused a lot of trouble in the village.

When he saw her enter the house, his brows were all wrinkled.

"Uncle and aunt, are you at home?"

"Jinglin's family, is there something wrong?"

Liu Qingqing handed the Dacron under her armpit to the village chief's wife: "It's nothing, I got into trouble a few days ago and it was thanks to your uncle and aunt for helping me."

"Oh, that's nothing, Jinglin is your uncle's eldest nephew within five generations, we are all family, it should be what it should be." The village chief's wife took the Dacron without waiting for her husband to say anything.

The village chief frowned even more: "No need to take anything, I didn't do anything."

The village chief's wife reached behind his back and pinched him.

Liu Qingqing pretended not to see the interaction between the two and continued, "In addition, I want to change my name. Can you please give me a certificate?"

"Why change your name?" The village chief disagreed. He was already married, and there was no point in changing it.

Liu Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled as she leaned next to the village chief's wife: "Auntie, you said, my name is not very good, it is so disastrous and difficult, changing it will make it smoother."

The village chief's wife agreed: "It's not very good, okay, why not, go and get it for the girl."

The village chief, who wanted to express his opinion, was urged by his wife and said no more.

The paper of the introduction letter is not large, and the stub occupies one-fifth of it.

The name, date, matters, introduction letter number, etc. are very detailed.

The official seal was stamped in two places, one on the middle seam between the stub and the main page, and one below the main text.

Once again, I had a deep understanding of the characteristics of this era.

Chapter 12 Name Change

Liu Qingqing set out at six in the morning to wait for the oxcart under the big locust tree.

Although riding in an oxcart is not comfortable, it is better than walking.

The oxcart from Taoshan Village to the brigade is not available every day.

It only runs once a week, so that villagers can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange eggs or something.

Of course, the ox is so valuable that people can't ride it for free. Each person has to pay one cent for each trip, including round trip.

After Liu Qingqing got on the oxcart, she found that most of the people who came one after another were educated youth.

Yes, there are not enough people working in the two days of autumn harvest, and it is not easy for villagers to ask for leave.

If Liu Qingqing hadn't been injured, she would have been unable to avoid the autumn harvest work.

But the educated youth village chief didn't care. None of them worked very well. They didn't care whether they wanted to work or not. Anyway, they just did it in a fair manner when distributing grain.

I don't know if there is some unfortunate fate involved.

She casually scanned and saw the heroine Lin Yumo staring at her.

I always felt that the heroine wanted to see through her, so she moved her butt and stayed away from her.

She walked to the side of Old Man Song who was driving a bull cart and greeted him with a smile: "Grandpa Song, have you eaten this morning?"

"I have eaten, what are you going to buy, Liu's girl?"

Liu Qingqing laughed: "My mother asked me to buy some salt or something."

After chatting about the mountains for a while, she quietly shut her mouth when she noticed that Lin Yumo's gaze on her had moved away.

She wondered if Lin Yumo had any serious illness. He kept staring at her, which made her feel uneasy.

When they arrived at Wuning Town, Liu Qingqing jumped off the ox cart and patted her numb buttocks. She moved her arms and legs to relieve the stiffness of her whole body.

This was really a torture.

She went straight to the household registration office. The clerk glanced at the letter of introduction: "Are you here alone? No family members are with you?"

Liu Qingqing...

I'm not changing my name to give birth to a child. Why do I need my family members to accompany me?

Knowing that this was to find fault, she felt numb in her heart, but she took out two pieces of White Rabbit milk candy with a smile on her face.

"Well, I came alone. Sorry to bother you, comrade. Here is a sweet mouth."

The clerk glanced at it casually.

As soon as he saw the things, he smiled: "Oh, comrade, you are too polite."

After putting the candy in his pocket, he stopped talking nonsense and quickly finished it in a few minutes.

If he had to talk, it might take an hour.

Liu Qingqing turned around and went to the supply and marketing cooperative without stopping.

Next to the supply and marketing cooperative is the grain station, post office, non-staple food store, state-owned hotel, and all the stores that operate to the outside world are on this street.

She walked into the supply and marketing cooperative and caught a glimpse of Lin Zhiqing's figure.

After hesitating for a while, she followed him to take a look.

Then she saw him enter the waste collection station.

Liu Qingqing's eyes lit up, thinking of the waste station treasure that appeared in every period article.

She guessed that Lin Zhiqing had some luck and should be able to pick up good things.

She walked to the gate and saw a woman with a big belly standing at the door.

The woman's face was dark and she looked very impatient.

Her body was heavy to begin with and she didn't want to move.

She had to stand up and watch when someone came.

When Liu Qingqing came over, she was even more annoyed: "What? You want to buy rubbish too?"

"I'm just looking around. How many months are you pregnant, sister?"

I didn't want to pay attention to such a trivial person, but when the child was mentioned, the woman still talked: "More than seven months."

Liu Qingqing showed an amazed expression: "Oh, sister, your child is well raised."

The belly looks quite big.

The elder sister smiled slightly: "It's okay! Everyone in the family is keeping an eye on me."

"Eldest sister is lucky, she found a good in-law. Look at me, I haven't had a child even after being married for more than a year, I'm so jealous of you." Liu Qingqing thought to herself that we didn't even stay together, so why would I have a child?

"Sister, you're married? I can't tell. I'm the third one, so I have experience. I tell you, don't worry about it, the more you worry, the harder it will be, you'll definitely have one if you take it slowly." The woman was flattered by Liu Qingqing's words, and she also wanted to chat.

"Sister, you already have three children? You don't look like that at all. You are too young. You must have married early!"

The woman chuckled: "You are such an interesting girl. Let's go inside and sit for a while."

Liu Qingqing readily agreed. She agreed with her mouth and moved her hands quickly. She took the woman into the duty room.

As soon as they entered the room, there was a wooden table by the window, on which were pens and notebooks, as well as an enamel cup.

In the middle of the room was an iron stove with a pot of water on it, but it was not cold yet, so there was no fire inside.

The woman sat on a chair and pointed to another one: "Sister, sit down."

"Hey." Liu Qingqing agreed and sat down: "Sister, I haven't asked your last name yet."

The woman actually regretted that she had impulsively led an unfamiliar person into the house, thinking that she would send him away after a few words.

"My last name is Lu, just call me Sister Lu."

Liu Qingqing obviously felt that the other party's attitude was not so warm.

"Sister Lu, my name is Liu Qingqing, from Taoshan Village." As she said that, she pretended to grab a handful of White Rabbit from her pocket.

There were about five or six pieces, which were stuffed into Sister Lu's hand.

Sister Lu was stunned for a moment. She heard that he was a farmer and didn't want to pay attention to him. As a result, the other party gave her a handful of White Rabbit at once.

The farmer opposite is so rich? Can he afford this kind of candy?

"Sister Lu, you have to take good care of yourself while you are pregnant. They say seven White Rabbits are like a cup of milk." Liu Qingqing smiled innocently.

"This is not suitable. Take it back." Sister Lu quickly pushed it to her.

Liu Qingqing stuffed the candy into her pocket and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Sister Lu, I just bought it from the supply and marketing cooperative. My boyfriend is in the army, and I just received my allowance and wanted to buy some food and daily necessities."

You have to show your identity, otherwise people will ignore you.

It's useless to pretend to be pitiful and weak. People should pay attention to equality in their interactions.

When Sister Lu heard this, her attitude became warm again.

He looked poorly dressed, but I didn't expect him to be a military dependent.

As the two were chatting, Sister Lu saw through the glass that Lin Yumo was carrying a few boxes out of the waste yard.

She opened the door and greeted him: "Hey, who asked you to take these things? Didn't you say you wanted to find some newspapers? This is a newspaper? You dare to take anything, be careful or I'll call the patrol over."

As for what he came here for, she knew without saying it.

Lin Yumo opened the box in his hand to show Sister Lu that it was empty: "Comrade, can't we buy this? I like it very much and want to take it back to decorate my vanishing cream or something."

"Haha, if you like it, you can take it all if you like it? Do you understand feudal dregs? I think you might be from a capitalist family." Sister Lu looked up and down at Lin Yumo, who was so delicate and tender.

Chapter 13 No one is stupid

Liu Qingqing stood at the door as soon as Sister Lu left.

She couldn't be seen from outside at this angle, but she could hear everything the two said clearly.

Not long after, Sister Lu sent the people away.

When she came in with a few finely carved jewelry boxes, she saw Liu Qingqing standing at the door and was surprised: "Sister, are you leaving?"

"Isn't it because you are busy, Sister Lu, I think I'll leave first, and I'll come back when you are free."

Sister Lu smiled and pushed her in: "It's okay, I've sent them away. These people who want to take advantage of it are just thinking about good things. Who doesn't know that these are all good things?"

Are they the only smart ones, and everyone else is stupid?

Don't they know that these things that were looted are good things?

Even the participants know about it, but who dares to move?

They just sent it to the collection station obediently.

Maybe the gold, silver and jade items were divided up by them. Even if there are risks, there are huge profits.

These seemingly exquisite and good things are not worth much money, but they are sure to find evidence against them.

Sending it to her is also a payment.

She also covets some things, but she can only covet them.

Liu Qingqing swept her eyes over the box. There should be some explanation for what Lin Yumo found, right?

This is the result of not getting the space. If there is space, she will definitely get what she wants.

Various thoughts surged in her mind, but she didn't show it on her face and continued to chat with Sister Lu.

After agreeing to visit her again next month when she gets her allowance, she said goodbye and left.

Sister Lu looked at her from behind and nodded, thinking she was asking for something, but she just chatted with her for a while and didn't even ask about anything.

It was beyond her expectations.

She walked around the supply and marketing cooperative, but there was really nothing to buy. She hesitated for a while and gave up on buying something she wanted - what if she won the lottery?

Since she could win the lottery, she has become a Grandet.

Remembering that she still had a bicycle ticket, she wandered to the bicycle sales area.

It was called a bicycle sales area, but there were only two bicycles on display.

Liu Qingqing looked around the bicycles and shook her head.

I really can't buy it. With such a high frame and such a long beam, I'm afraid she can't step over it with her small height of just over 1.6 meters.

"Comrade, do you want to buy it or not? If not, don't hang around here."

Liu Qingqing looked up at the place where the voice came from, a middle-aged woman with thin cheeks, the most eye-catching thing was two black holes.

Oh, she's still looking at people with her nose.

Liu Qingqing put her hands on her waist.

"What's the matter? The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't allow me to look? Who set the rules? This is your family's supply and marketing cooperative, so what?"

The middle-aged woman saw that she was dressed in a rustic way and was lying everywhere, and it was obvious that she had never seen the world.

The salesperson's sense of superiority made her want to mock these peasants.

"I just want to ask you if you want to buy it or not. If you don't want to buy it, don't affect other people. Do you have a ticket?" Are these two bicycles parked here because no one can afford them? Isn't it because tickets are hard to get.

Liu Qingqing flashed the ticket in front of her: "Did you see it? What is this? Do you know it? Can't you read? Hey, I see that your attitude is not happy, so I won't buy from you."

She looked down on the other party with a proud and arrogant look.

"Comrade, I don't mean that. Then you can take your time to look." The middle-aged woman smiled and said in silence.

After she finished speaking, she turned aside and stared at Liu Qingqing in thought.

Liu Qingqing also lost the desire to look at it, and turned away.

"Big sister." The middle-aged woman called her.

She quickly caught up with him, and whispered to Liu Qingqing: "Do you want to exchange your bicycle ticket?"

At this time, in addition to formal transactions, private transactions are all called "exchanges".

Liu Qingqing's eyes flashed, but she remained calm.

The middle-aged woman looked around and said: "There is a defective product warehouse in the back, why don't you talk to me there."

"Okay." Liu Qingqing nodded.

The two walked in one after the other. When the middle-aged woman passed by the counter next to her, she shouted: "Xiao Jiang, my relatives are here to see the defective products, please keep an eye on them for me."

"I know, Sister Lu, you go ahead." The salesperson named Xiao Jiang waved her hand, knowing what was going on.

What relative? The relative who just said a few words to me?

But she has seen this kind of thing many times, and she is not the kind of person who talks too much.

The two walked to the warehouse at the back, locked the door and started bargaining.

"Sister, I am really sorry for what I said just now. It is my fault for being so rude. Don't take it to heart."

"Sister Lu, please don't say that. I am also young and energetic." Everyone knows how to say nice things, and it doesn't cost you anything.

Sister Lu smiled with satisfaction: "Then I won't beat around the bush with you. My son is getting married and wants a bicycle, but he doesn't have a ticket..."

The supply and marketing cooperative just received a batch of bicycles a few days ago, ten bicycles.

Because of the shortage of supply, this batch of bicycles is the only one in a year.

Seeing that there were only two bicycles left, she still couldn't get a bicycle ticket after dragging around and trying her best. Her son kept quarreling with her, and she was very anxious every day.

Although she was a bicycle seller, she still needed a ticket, and there was no preferential treatment.

"Okay, Sister Lu, please tell me how to exchange it." She didn't know the market price, so she was a bit at a loss.

Seeing that she didn't mean to quote a price, Sister Lu hesitated and didn't speak.

Liu Qingqing couldn't bear it, and just looked at her indifferently.

"How about it, sister, I won't cheat you, just follow the market price of 50 yuan." Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time and was still smiling, Sister Lu couldn't hold it anymore.

"Sister, you are kidding. There is no market price for this thing." Although Liu Qingqing didn't know the price, she knew that bicycle tickets were priceless. Private transactions were private, so there was no market price.

She shook her head pretentiously.

Sister Lu gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, 70 at most. The black market is just this much." The black market resale price of a bicycle is less than 200 yuan, and the supply and marketing cooperative only costs 120 yuan. But in reality, there is a price but no market in the black market, and bicycles need to be registered. It is not easy to deal with it if you buy it on the black market. Two people have to go to the bureau to handle the transfer. It is troublesome.

Liu Qingqing remembered that her mother always haggled the price in half, so she thought for a moment and simply raised the price in half: "One hundred and fifty."

Looking at the jaw-dropping expression of Sister Lu in front of her, Liu Qingqing felt that, well, this price was right.

She was afraid that the other party would agree to it immediately after she gave it.

"Sister, what are you kidding, how can it be this price?" Sister Lu was stuttering.

She smiled and said lightly: "Sister, this ticket is not easy to come by. My partner sent it back from Han Province. Originally, he wanted me to buy a bicycle to travel lightly. It was not because you needed it, so I thought of keeping it with you first."

She looked at the tickets and found that they were all valid throughout the country.

This lie was made up but could not be exposed.

Chapter 14 Making Money

"Sister, you are too ruthless. You can't find this price anywhere else." Sister Lu thought about it and thought that it would be a lot of money if she put it together. It would be better to give up.

Liu Qingqing observed her expression and immediately changed her words: "But Sister Lu and I are also destined to be together. We don't know each other without fighting. We may come and go often in the future."

The implication is that she may not have any more tickets.

When Sister Lu heard her say this, she was delighted again: "Well, sister..."

"Sister, I won't say anything else. We both get along well. You can bargain for a price. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter. If the deal doesn't work out this time, there will always be a suitable time."

This operation really made it difficult for her. Sister Lu thought that Liu Qingqing would give a price, and then she would talk about it.

Now there is no such step, so she had to hesitate and grit her teeth: "Just 110, sister, it's not that I don't care, but this is all I have at home..."

Liu Qingqing nodded readily: "Okay, sister, I'll make friends with you."

Sister Lu was overjoyed. She really didn't expect the other party to agree.

After all, the concept of bargaining at that time was different from that of later generations.

There was no such thing as asking for a sky-high price and bargaining on the spot.

After the two of them happily made a deal, Liu Qingqing bought some defective products - two enamel basins with dents and paint peeling off the bottom.

Neither her husband's family nor her own family had a basin for washing her face and feet, so she had to endure it during this period.

Now she can finally buy two new ones.

Things are really cheap at this time, and these are defective products, and the two basins cost only 50 cents.

Toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, vanishing cream, etc., the defective warehouse did not have them, so she had to buy them at the counter.

She also weighed a pound of fruit and a pound of fruit candy at the pastry counter.

It didn't cost her three yuan in total.

All the things that needed to be done were done, and there were many unexpected gains. In short, this trip to the city was very successful.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative with more than 100 yuan in her pocket, it was almost time for the ox cart to return to the city.

Before Old Man Song drove the ox cart over, several educated youth from Taoshan Village were already squatting around.

Lin Yumo was among them.

Since the heroine traveled through time, this was the first time she was embarrassed.

The woman at the scrap station gave her a good beating without mercy. Not only did she not get anything, but she was also seen by Yu Hongbo when she was being beaten, and her face was thrown into the pile of educated youth.

After leaving the scrap station, her heart was empty again, and she felt that she had missed something important.

The last time I had this feeling was with Liu Qingcao.

As soon as Liu Qingqing appeared, she immediately felt Lin Yumo's eyes following her like a shadow.

...

Can't see, can't see.

Whatever.

Liu Qingqing didn't even look at the abnormal Lin Yumo, and closed her eyes and dozed off as soon as she got on the bus.

The 1970s was also a society ruled by law, so there was nothing to be afraid of, and it was not certain who would win if they really fought.

Everyone in the car was rushing back hungry, and occasionally you could hear the rumbling of the stomach of the person next to you.

Before getting on the bus, Liu Qingqing ate a fruit and a boiled egg to fill her stomach, so she was not as hungry as the others.

Although it is called Guozi, it is just a cake that looks like an egg cake.

She has always been full of fantasies about this name.

Not to mention, it tastes good.

It may also be that this body has never eaten anything good, so everything tastes delicious.

The ox cart swayed back home, and the afternoon work time in Taoshan Village had already begun.

Liu Qingqing returned to the Liu family and found that they had left rice for her in a big pot.

Although it was not very greasy, it was warm at least.

After solving the five dirty temples, she returned to the room and entered the space.

She was ready to draw the lottery.

She had 150 yuan in her hand.

She was a rich woman now, and she was definitely walking sideways in front of the lottery machine.

I spent 50 yuan.

I felt bad and hurt.

The result was still very good.

"1 silk quilt from a certain family for autumn and winter"

"5 feet of tight khaki cloth from the Hexi Brigade Supply and Marketing Cooperative"

"5 feet of ordinary solid cotton cloth from the Hexi Brigade Supply and Marketing Cooperative"

"50 pounds of small pills for strengthening the body"

"50 pounds of wild boar produced in Datao Mountain"

I took a five-draw series and found that whenever I was given cloth, I would get 5 feet at a time.

Five small pills at a time.

If it was something special, it would be one.

It was quite surprising to get wild boar for the first time.

After that, I drew the remaining opportunities in a row.

I got the small pill three times again.

Liu Qingqing was very satisfied with the effect of the small pills. She had taken them for five consecutive days before, and her body obviously felt much more relaxed.

This time, she took 20 pills again.

Although the size was really too big, she learned to be smart and would cut it into four pieces before eating, instead of swallowing it directly like the first time.

"A 20th century electric baton for self-defense"

This thing is useful, but it is only disposable for the time being, and there is no electricity in Taoshan Village.

After that, there were scattered things, including industrial and grain tickets, as well as items such as cloth and thermos, which were either practical or valuable.

She was shocked by two of them.

This guy actually made her lose money.

In the middle, she drew a "70s Production Team Award Teapot".

"Smelly old soap from the Hexi Brigade Supply and Marketing Cooperative *10"

This stuff only costs a few cents when she goes to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Hateful, hateful.

She guessed that maybe she drew too much at once.

She would have to make up for it later.

————————————————————

In November, the weather was getting colder.

The autumn harvest was basically over. Except for some strong people who followed the village chief to pay the public grain, everyone else in the village began to prepare for winter.

The first thing was to collect vegetables from the private plots, either storing them in the cellar or pickling them.

Liu Qingqing was very curious and followed the mixing for a few days.

She also learned a lot of techniques.

Pickled sauerkraut, pickled radishes, and pickled cucumbers.

These things are rare winter dishes when pickled.

Liu Qingqing also took a lot of vegetables that her mother left for planting and planted them on her own one-third of an acre of land.

Now the cabin is almost bursting with her things.

Except for vegetables and grains and the lottery machine that cannot be taken away.

All other clothes and daily necessities were moved outside the cabin.

There is no other way.

The food outside is not fresh, and vegetables left outside will rot in a few days.

She learned this the hard way.

The small pond has been replenished many times, and the fish in it have been raised by her to be particularly plump.

The time flow rate of planting and breeding is several times that of outside.

Fortunately, there is no sign of rot when daily necessities are left outside.

Chapter 15 Waste Station

Mother Song saw that her second daughter-in-law had been back to her parents' home for half a month and had no intention of returning.

She was a little impatient.

She was busy before and had no time to take care of this.

Now that she has not returned for such a long time, the villagers don't know how to frame her behind her back.

So she sent the eldest daughter-in-law to visit the Liu family and asked the second daughter-in-law to come back.

Unexpectedly, she went there in vain and the daughter-in-law was not at home at all.

"Mom, you have to take good care of my second brother's wife. She won't stay quiet even when her husband is not at home. It's not a good thing for her to go out every other day..."

After Tian Cuixiang complained with exaggerated words, she saw Song's mother's face and said quickly, "Mom, I'll go see the child."

"Watch your mouth. What time is it? You say anything. Are you not clear-headed?"

Song's mother was confused. What did the eldest daughter-in-law mean by this? Isn't it just saying that the second family is not serious?

Can you say this nonsense? And you are putting the blame on your own family?

The second family was really implicated, how could their family not be implicated?

The movements in those days were so weird and scary.

Even their poor and remote village of Taoshan Village saw several scenes of being criticized.

That is to say, the village chief is strict and does not allow the young men in the village to mix and match, so life is stable.

But then again, the second family is not good enough, and it is easy to be criticized for always going out.

——————————

At this time, Liu Qingqing stepped into the door of the waste station again.

The autumn harvest is over, and the private plots are also cleaned up.

The old and young in the village began to run to the city - to exchange the eggs collected at home, buy some soy sauce, salt and so on.

So this ox cart was unusually crowded.

She carried a prepared basket on her arm, which was covered with cloth.

The aunts and aunts around were basically dressed like this.

Someone who was too impatient lifted the cloth covering Liu Qingqing and looked inside. Seeing a dozen small eggs, he curled his lips. These chickens were not well-fed, not as big as the ones in her house. He must have been paid less than four cents when he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Liu Qingqing had made preparations long ago, and the eggs in the basket were just for show.

Some old ladies with ulterior motives stared at Liu Qingqing and asked her questions, trying to dig out some gossip that others didn't know.

"Auntie Guo, don't call me Qingcao Qingcao anymore. Everyone, pay attention. I have changed my name to Liu Qingqing. Don't call me by the wrong name in the future." She pretended not to hear the other party's questions and directly shouted to let everyone in the car know that she had changed her name.

"Oh, why did you change your name when everything was fine?"

Liu Qingqing changed her words, but these old people couldn't say anything random: "It sounds nice. Our Jinglin wrote to me and said it sounds better. This is how girls are named in the city. The last two characters are the same, so it's called overlapping. Think about it and see if it sounds nice."

Some people nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "You know what, it sounds different."

"Is it really like this in the city? How come I didn't know that?"

"You know a few people in the city? Besides, the place where the Song family is is different from ours."

"That's true. The city has supplies every month, which is much better than ours."

...

The topic gradually turned to how good the city was, after successfully getting herself out of it.

Liu Qingqing bent her eyes and listened with her ears.

Standing in front of the gate of the waste station, she reached under the cloth, put the eggs inside into the space, and replaced them with the ones she had prepared earlier.

She turned all the words she wanted to say in her mind.

Then she knocked on the door of the duty room.

"Hey, it's a girl."

The door was opened, and the face revealed was not the familiar Sister Lu.

Just as she was hesitating, Sister Lu's voice came from inside.

Liu Qingqing smiled at the middle-aged woman at the door, turned around and responded: "Hey, sister, I'm here to see you."

With other people around, Liu Qingqing decisively swallowed the "Sister Lu" in her mouth and replaced it with a more intimate name.

Sister Lu frowned slightly, and smiled and said, "Come in and sit down."

Liu Qingqing glanced at the two benches in the room. She was not so fierce that she sat on them without hesitation.

She put the basket on the wooden table and lifted the dark blue cover to reveal the neatly stacked milky white fabric inside.

"Sister, I originally wanted to make two small clothes, but you know me. I don't have a child yet, and I'm not sure if it's too big or too small, so I brought a piece of fine cotton cloth for my little nephew."

Sister Lu came up and touched the cloth with her fingertips: "Sister, this cotton cloth is so soft, I haven't seen it in the supply and marketing cooperative."

How could it not be soft? This piece of cloth is "Lincheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative's special internal fine cotton cloth."

The name sounded unusual.

Liu Qingqing blinked: "My husband sent it to me, from Lincheng."

Sister Lu was even more curious when she heard it, and she touched it left and right.

The middle-aged woman next to her also came to the table: "Yan'er, this cloth is really soft."

The smile in Lu Yan's eyes was less: "Sister Han, it's almost noon, you go back to eat, I'll just stay here, and my sister is here to accompany me."

The woman surnamed Han paused, threw away the cloth in her hand, and said with a long tone: "Okay, I'll come again in the afternoon."

Lu Yan's face was cold, and she was unmoved by her weirdness.

Liu Qingqing took a look, oh, this is a disagreement between the two.

"Sister, what is this?" Liu Qingqing gestured to the door.

Lu Yan rolled her eyes at the empty door. Although the job at the scrap station sounds not good, it is also a popular job. There are too many people and too few jobs. In the city, brothers will fight for a job. There is no recruitment now. Everyone is scrambling for a job. You have to get rid of one to get another one. It turns out that the job of the recorder at the purchase station was done by a big boss, but it has caught up with the "revolutionary" craze in the past two years. The scrap station suddenly became a popular place, and the big boss was also scared by those young people who were injected with chicken blood. He retired early. When the newcomers took over, it was the most serious time for the Red Guards' activities. Every day, there were trucks of things delivered to the scrap station. Seeing the piles of waste station, I was tempted and took some inappropriate things out.

The next day, I was also cleaned up.

Not only did I lose my job, but I was also demoted.

When I changed people again, I took into account that the waste station had a lot of "business".

It takes carefulness to register these things, and I am also worried that someone will have bad intentions again.

So I recruited two female comrades, Lu Yan and Han Xiuhua.

Since the second half of this year, the activities have basically passed, and there has been a lot of peace outside.

Only occasionally someone would "kill relatives for the greater good" pop up.

This is also the reason why Lu Yan rushed out immediately when she saw someone touching those deadly things.

If someone was watching her, wouldn't she be implicated?

"Don't worry about her. She is a sneaky person all the time." Lu Yan was very annoyed with Han Xiuhua, especially since she became pregnant, she always said something with hidden meaning in her words.

Chapter 16 Temporary Worker

"Sister, are you two working here together? Why didn't I see her last time?" She was a little hesitant after having some small thoughts in her mind.

Lu Yan stared at her for a while and said seriously: "Sister, what's the matter with you? I tell you that the things in the waste station cannot be touched."

She sent Han Xiuhua away because she wanted to talk it out with this person.

If it's not for something, why would you bleed so much? They are not related.

Don't think that calling each other sister is close, it's just politeness on the surface.

Liu Qingqing wanted to beat around the bush for a while, but she didn't expect the other party to just drop the conversation.

She stopped beating around the bush and came straight to the point: "Sister Lu, I remember you are eight months pregnant now, right?" Changing back to addressing her was a way to distance herself and to put the conversation in a proper tone.

"Well, it's almost nine months."

"You will have to take a leave for childbirth by then, right?"

"Yes, there are three months of leave." Lu Yan slowly understood what she wanted to do and couldn't help but feel resistant.

Recently, Han Xiuhua mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally, meaning nothing more than that she took such a long leave, and the unit arranged for someone else to come, and she might not have a place when she came back.

There must be a place, as she is a formal employee, and she is not like a temporary worker who can just quit if she wants to. But she may not be doing the bookkeeping work here.

For example, she can do detailed work in the scrap warehouse at the back.

That is not something that a few people can do. Chicken and duck feathers, waste batteries, toothpaste tubes, meat bones, turtle shells, orange peels, broken glass, broken cotton wool, cloth scraps, long and short braids, etc. Not only should they be handled in different categories, but they should also be handled carefully.

For example, taking waste paper collection as an example, it can be divided into newspapers, tabloids, magazines, books, yellow board paper, and miscellaneous crumpled paper. These must be classified and bundled.

This is still clean, and the others are disgusting to think about.

Liu Qingqing saw Lu Yan's frowning expression and knew that the other party was also worried.

"Sister Lu, you know my situation. My husband is not at home all year round, and I live alone in my husband's house..." He said with a look of embarrassment, and let the other party fill in the blanks.

Then he said: "Sister Lu, look, during the time you take leave, I will take your place at work. When my eldest nephew is born, I will leave immediately when you say you will come back. This job can't be taken over by others."

Lu Yan was slightly moved, but a little worried, because she didn't know the whole story.

Liu Qingqing brought out her last advantage of being a substitute: "I have a rural household registration, and I am not a formal employee. I can't just leave whenever I want. Besides, I don't want those tickets. When the unit issues any tickets, I can give them to you..."

I heard it when the two of them were chatting before. Since last year, the waste station has been very popular because of the movement. Not only is there a lot of smoke and dust, but some things have mold and bacteria.

The higher authorities gave special subsidies to waste station employees, and they have two taels of sugar tickets every month.

Don't underestimate these two taels of sugar tickets. A family in the city only gets one pound of sugar tickets a year.

You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. If you don't give them any benefits, why would they let you take over their job?

Who doesn't have a spare relative?

Lu Yan had thought about this problem during this period. Even if she asked her relatives to come, she might end up falling out with them when she wanted to ask them to leave.

It would be better to ask an outsider.

Whether they fall out or not, she is not afraid.

Besides, her fake salary receipts were issued as usual. Liu Qingqing gave her another copy. If she did not go to work, she could get two sugar coupons. She would be able to have a good confinement.

Lu Yan was obviously convinced by her: "Okay, then we have a deal. Wait until you get off work in the afternoon. You come with me to see Director Li and I will talk to him."

Liu Qingqing scolded her, and they had to wait until the evening. Wouldn't it be midnight when she got home?

She agreed: "Okay, I'll come again in the afternoon."

She remembered that she planned to live in the waste station.

"There is a place here. Usually, Old Xu and Old Liu take turns on duty. If you live here, I will tell them that they will be happy if they don't have to live here."

Lu Yan pretended to push the cotton cloth on the table a few times, and then took it.

Liu Qingqing was a little worried when she put on the basket. Although the speed of the ox cart and walking was almost the same, she had taken the pills well these days and her body was strong enough to support three hours of walking, and she could even go faster than the ox cart.

That would take more than two hours.

If everything went well, she would get home at seven or eight o'clock.

She was not afraid of anything else, but the dark.

There was no light in the village until dark, and the road to Taoshan Village was all ground, which was even darker.

After thinking it over, she decided to take a bus back to the village first, and then say she was going back to her husband's house after packing up.

Then she would walk back to the town.

Then she would stay at the waste station (space) for one night.

The reason she had to go back was that her mother didn't see her and might look for her everywhere.

After wandering into Taoshan Village, Liu Qingqing first explained the situation to the village chief and asked him to write a letter of introduction.

Then she ran back to the Liu family to pack up.

"Haha, are you too busy?" Liu's mother was sitting in the main room sewing the soles of her shoes. When she saw her enter the house, she slightly raised her eyelids and glanced at her.

Liu Qingqing was worried that it would be too late to go back, so she didn't argue with her.

"I'll pack my clothes and go back to my husband's house."

When Liu's mother heard that she was leaving, she put down the housework in her hands and followed her behind, saying, "You should have gone back a long time ago. I can't stop you. Your sister-in-law came this morning. I guess she wanted you to go back."

Liu Qingqing paused, this...

"Okay, there's nothing. I'll pack up and leave now." She picked up her bag and walked out of the yard.

She looked around while walking and didn't see anyone. She put away her bag and went to Old Song's house.

"Mom, did you ask your sister-in-law to call me?" Liu Qingqing followed the movement and found Song's mother who was chopping pig grass by the stove.

Song's mother was startled by her voice and almost chopped her hand.

"Hey, you scared me."

Turning around, I saw my second daughter-in-law was irritable: "You're back, clean up your room, it's all dusty."

"If you don't come back today, you'll have to eat there tonight." Liu Qingqing said and walked out.

Mother Song twitched her lips. What delicious food is she going to eat again? Why did she feel a little sympathetic to Granny Liu?

After leaving the Song family, she changed into a new coat and tied a dark blue headscarf on her head.

With such a wrap, people would not recognize her if they met her from a distance.

She hurried to the door of the waste station.

Lu Yan had been standing there looking around.

Seeing her running over in sweat: "Girl, it's so hot today, where have you been?"

"Sister, you must have waited for a long time, I just went home." Although my physical fitness has improved, it is still hard to walk without exercise for a long time.

"It's not long, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Director Li."

Liu Qingqing was surprised: "The scrap station is still under the management of the supply and marketing cooperative?"

"I don't know about other places, anyway, Director Li has always been in charge of ours." Lu Yan's steps are not slow, with a bulging belly, which shows that she didn't just sit during her pregnancy.

Lu Yan had already greeted Director Li in advance, and Director Li didn't want to take such a temporary worker.

The job is so hard to get, and there are many people waiting in line for temporary workers.

But Lu Yan's family had connections, and they said the person would only be here for a few months.

He simply gave her this face.

It was only three or four months, so it was still easy to do.

Chapter 17 Different from what I imagined

Director Li took her introduction letter, wrote a temporary work file, stamped it with the official seal, and that was it.

"Comrade Xiao Liu, you must work hard in the future. Your salary will be calculated from this month. You will learn from Xiao Lu for a few days. When Xiao Lu takes a break, you will be able to get started directly."

Maybe it delayed Director Li from getting off work, this set of procedures is simple and fast.

Even the official language is too lazy to be used.

After finishing the business, Lu Yan took her back to the waste station.

The so-called place to live is a small house separated from a row of bungalows for waste.

The two sorters had already received the news. There was nothing else in the room except for a short and narrow wooden bed with dark yellow bedding, a table against the wall, and a stove in the middle of the room, just like the duty room.

The two of them must have taken all their things away.

Lu Yan pointed to the house next to them and said, "The coal briquettes and firewood are behind the house. You keep an eye on the fire in the stove and add more when it's almost burned. If you need a bench or something, you can get it from there."

Then she hurried home from get off work.

After Liu Qingqing saw her off, she locked the door outside and went into the several waste storage rooms next to her. This was completely different from the waste collection station she had imagined.

In her memory, the waste station was dirty and messy, and things were thrown randomly.

But here, all the categories were neatly arranged.

When she got closer, she saw that even the same kind of paper was divided into more than ten kinds and bundled into piles.

And the hair, each of which was the same length.

There was no impurity in the chicken feathers and duck feathers.

Liu Qingqing was really enlightened. Garbage classification was nothing compared to this!

Just the classification here, even people with obsessive-compulsive disorder would say good things.

The waste station in Wuning Town refreshed her cognition and made her realize that not everything here was inferior to the future.

At this time, people's enthusiasm for work, efforts in life, and yearning for the future are all positive and vigorous.

After sighing for two minutes, she began to look for the box that Lin Yumo had chosen that day.

Well, this is her real purpose.

Although she has space and can come in directly to pack it under the pretext of buying newspapers like Lin Yumo did, rash actions without knowing the situation may have her sent to the laboratory.

Look, everything here shows that the idea is too simple.

With such a detailed level, there is no record book.

She didn't want to take the box this time, but just wanted to study what was inside.

These exquisite furniture, cabinets, and boxes are very conspicuous and are neatly stacked in the corners of the wall.

She took out a pen and paper and wrote down the order of placement before she started to search.

There were three wooden boxes in total, two of which were made of dark red wood with relief carvings, about two feet long, one foot high and wide. They looked like they were from the same family.

The other one was made of jet black wood with dragon and phoenix carvings, and was extremely delicate. It was much smaller than the other two, only one foot long and half a foot high, narrow and flat.

Liu Qingqing took a dark red one and shook it, it felt heavy in her hand.

Opening the lid, there should be some kind of cloth lining inside, but now it has been removed.

It was bare and there was nothing inside.

She shook it and didn't hear any unusual sound.

"It shouldn't be possible!" Lin Yumo held back his anger and didn't want to let go of something, how could there be no cat poop?

Then he looked at the other two, both of which were empty inside.

...

The garbage classification was done very well.

He turned it over and over in his hand, from inside to outside, inch by inch.

Except for a hand full of dust, he found nothing else.

He knocked on the upper and lower layers, which looked quite thin, and didn't look like there were any layers.

After closing the lid, she pondered the patterns carved on the outside.

After pressing all the patterns, the box was still the original box.

It was dark when she was studying it, and she sighed and prepared to offer sacrifices to her five dirty temples first.

She was distracted and seemed to have discovered something.

She turned on the light switch, and the bulb emitted a dim light.

She looked carefully at the center of the flower in the carving, and it seemed to have a small, inconspicuous eye.

She took a thin needle out of the space and inserted it into the middle of the flower.

With a "click".

A wooden strip popped out from the side of the box, and she pulled it out, revealing a narrow space like a drawer, with a white and translucent jade pendant and a pair of jade bracelets made of the same material.

Liu Qingqing was so excited that she trembled, there really was something.

She did the same thing to find the other two boxes.

The other dark red carved box was the same as it, with a drawer popped out, and inside were emerald green bracelets and rings.

She guessed that it should be jade.

In the previous life, I didn't know much about jewelry. At most, I only bought platinum and gold, but I didn't wear them much.

So, it's worth the money, no matter what material it is made of.

The other black one is different from the switch of these two. Liu Qingqing didn't figure it out, so she gave up for the time being.

Back to the small house next door, she threw in a few pieces of firewood, and when the fire came up, she put on the wok to prepare for cooking.

It's very convenient to have space to prepare ingredients.

Washed beans, chopped a corn nugget, and cut a large piece of wild boar.

Heat oil in a pot, stew pork with beans and corn.

It would be more delicious if there were ribs.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Another big advantage of coming here is that I can eat something good.

Unfortunately, she had plenty of food in her space, but she had no chance to cook.

Even if she did, she was afraid it would taste bad.

Life was so hard.

While the food was cooking, she went into the space to prepare for the lottery.

For no other reason, she just got a treasure and wanted to spend it.

She put in ten yuan.

Liu Qingqing slowly pressed the lottery button.

"Lincheng Department Store (Supply and Marketing Cooperative) Maotai Liquor*10"

"Wuning Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative Steamer*2"

"National General Sewing Machine Ticket*1"

"National General 5-jin Grain Ticket*20"

"A piglet from the production team of Xiaotun Village, Hexi Brigade"

She was stunned for a few seconds, and when she ran out of the wooden house, she saw a small and cute piglet running around.

Outside, there was not only her wheat field, but also her clothes and quilts, daily necessities and sundries drawn in the lottery.

"Ahhh."

She hurriedly marked out a piece of open space next to the pond and made a simple fence around it with corn stalks.

She breathed a sigh of relief to avoid her things being stolen.

She was talented, she actually got a living thing.

She glanced at the steamer she had just drawn, and it was the timely rain.

She had flour and alkali.

Now she was going to let it rise, and soon she would have fragrant white flour steamed buns to eat.

She had a place, and the vegetables were almost done, so she put the soup aside and poured it into two bowls.

As for the noodles, she put them next to the stove and estimated that they would rise in an hour or so.

This meal was very filling even if it was just vegetables, after all, it was corn and meat.

Chapter 18 Upgrade

After dinner, she went to study the black box again, just to digest the food.

Since those two boxes had something in them, she thought this one should be no exception.

After wasting countless brain cells, she finally found the difference inside.

Influenced by the first two boxes.

She had been studying the carvings on the outside, but she didn't expect the real mechanism to be inside.

The tightly stitched bottom layer could actually be opened.

She found it by picking the seams with a needle.

A flat rectangular gold nugget that was pressed and looked very bright under the light.

After taking out the things, she put the cover back on.

She suppressed her excitement, carefully placed the box, and restored it to its original state according to the order she had recorded before.

Then she began to study the gold nugget.

There was no sign printed on this piece of gold, and it was heavy, much heavier than her previous 40-gram bracelet.

But she didn't need to worry about it, there were beam scales, pound scales, and platform scales in the warehouse, which were used to weigh the waste of different weights.

For small-gram items, you can use a platform scale, which looks like a small sailboat, with a weight on the left and a platform on the right for placing things.

After a little study, she figured out how to use this thing.

She took off the weight on the left, put the gold nugget on the platform, and fiddled with the scale slightly.

Finally, it was leveled at the position of two liang.

Liu Qingqing picked up the gold nugget, which was originally one hundred grams.

Just like the jade jewelry just now, she stuffed the gold nugget into the space.

After turning off the light, she returned to her temporary hut.

The night in early November was already very cold, and there was no heating equipment in the warehouse.

She shivered from the cold.

After returning to the house, the firewood in the stove had burned into charcoal, and she poured the coal balls in the file into it.

After washing the new steamer and pouring water into it, it was already boiling on the stove.

After pouring out the water in the steamer, cool water was added again.

She took off the lid of the dough bowl and cut it with a knife. There were already tiny holes the size of millet grains in the flour.

She put the dough on both sides together and separated them.

Well, it didn't stick together, which proved that it had risen well.

She threw it into the space. She was already proficient in using the space. She rolled more than a dozen dough balls together and put them into the steamer automatically.

She took out the steamer and put it on the stove, and steamed it.

Suddenly she remembered that she had to open the small window a little.

To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

Suddenly she felt the space shaking, and she was startled and looked inward.

Maybe her space was going to collapse, because her wealth was all in it.

In the end, I saw nothing, only a hazy fog.

I tried to take out the money, but there was no response.

I was feeling uneasy, but then I realized that the space had calmed down.

Liu Qingqing didn't rush in, but looked inside to see if there was any danger.

This was amazing.

The lonely cabin had turned into a two-story building.

The area must be at least 200 square meters.

The farmland at the door had not changed, except that another batch of wheat had matured.

But the pond she dug by herself next to the field and the "pigsty" she had separated had changed.

The pond turned into a clear pool with willows on the bank and flowers in the water.

The simple pig pen was turned into a semi-enclosed concrete pig pen, and the little pig finally had its own family to eat with.

After Liu Qingqing finished her observation, she flashed into the space.

She wanted to see what the lottery machine was like.

As soon as she entered the door, there was a lottery machine in the main hall.

She walked closer and started to check.

Unexpectedly, there was a real display on the machine.

"One hundred grams of gold detected, can be upgraded, do you want to upgrade?"

"Host does not respond, automatically upgrade after ten seconds."

"Host does not respond, automatically upgrade after nine seconds."

"Host does not respond, automatically upgrade after eight seconds."

"..."

"Host does not respond, will automatically upgrade soon."

"Host does not respond, automatically upgraded."

"Upgrade completed, each lottery is limited to 10 yuan/time"

"First use after upgrade is free."

After reading this pile of records, Liu Qingqing was very annoyed.

Although the upgrade is not bad, it will cost ten yuan each time.

How much money does she have in her pocket?

Is it enough to play ten times?

Looked at the words "lottery opportunity*1".

She pressed the button.

Let her see what it can do after the upgrade.

"Power Pills * 100"

This is the first time I've seen this thing. It seems that new things will be drawn after the upgrade.

Just like before, she drew so many times, and the pills only had small pills for strengthening the body.

I checked the description "Gradually increase human strength, so that one's own strength tends to the limit, the limbs do not produce displacement, and do not affect growth and change. One pill can be taken orally every day."

One hundred pills of Power Pills, the bottle is only as big as a vitamin box.

She opened it and took a look. This time the size is much more normal.

As big as Huahua Dan, easy to swallow.

She looked at the lottery machine that she couldn't afford again, and walked inside.

In addition to the central hall, there are four rooms on the first floor, including a kitchen, bathroom, dining room, and storage room.

On the second floor, there are also four rooms. A bedroom, a bathroom, a cloakroom, and a study.

The decoration style is very similar to the model room she saw when she visited a new property before.

The overall color is off-white, with a soft and warm feeling.

She immediately decided to stay here at night.

Who wants to live on a cold wooden board when there is a comfortable place to live.

The pile of miscellaneous things that she had placed outside the wooden house before were all divided into the storage room.

She sorted the things she needed into different rooms.

After leaving the space, she saw that the steamed buns were already steamed.

She took one out and ate a hot white steamed bun with a hissing sound.

Even though she had just eaten her fill, she still felt that the steamed bun was very sweet.

After putting the pot and the rest of the steamed buns into the kitchen of the space.

After looking around and not finding anything unusual left, she returned to the space.

She had been busy for a long time tonight and went to bed later than usual. She lay down on the soft big bed and felt relaxed.

It had been a long time since I slept in such a comfortable place.

Before going to bed, I thought of my Huahuadan version of Dali Pills.

She took a pill and put it in her mouth, drank a cup of sleep and fell into a deep sleep.

————————————

As soon as the sun rose in the morning, Liu Qingqing's biological clock made her get up automatically.

She didn't plan to go to work today, so she had to go back and say hello first.

When the employees at the acquisition station arrived one after another, she greeted them one by one and got to know everyone.

She talked to Lu Yan about the situation, and Lu Yan readily let her go back first.

Liu Qingqing cooked a bowl of noodles in the morning. She wanted to eat rice now. She felt that she hadn't eaten rice for a century.

She must buy some rice when she comes back later.

Even cooking porridge would be good.

She walked lightly on the way back to the village, with endless ideas in her mind.

Chapter 19 Leaving the Village

"What the hell?" Liu's mother was feeding chickens in the yard. When she saw her little daughter walking in, she was about to frown. How could she come back again after not going home for a night, and she heard shocking news.

Liu Qingqing waved her hand: "I'm leaving first. They are waiting for me to go to work."

"Tell me more, tell me what's wrong with you, and I'm leaving now." She didn't understand it yet, but how could she go out and show off.

She repeated what she said to Liu's mother.

The attitude of the old Song family was exactly the same as Liu's mother, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

"What? You can be a worker without graduating from junior high school?" Tian Cuixiang looked incredulous.

At this time, the village called those who worked in the city workers, no matter what they did.

"How did you find this job?" When Liu Qingqing came back, Song's father was sitting on a small stool weaving bamboo strips. Now he put the bamboo strips on the ground and picked up the tobacco pot that he didn't smoke much.

Ignoring the sister-in-law, she still gave some patience to Song's father's questions: "She is the eldest sister of my junior high school classmate. We have always had a good relationship. She is going to take maternity leave, and the relatives at home also have jobs, so let me take her place for a while."

Song's father nodded: "Since it's a substitute, then do it well and don't bring trouble to others." It's good as long as it's not in the name of his youngest son.

Song's mother rolled her eyes: "That's a lot of money for a month."

Liu Qingqing smiled: "Not bad, 17 yuan a month for a temporary worker." Seeing what Song's mother was going to say, she continued: "But they only have a place to live but no food. In this city, you need money and tickets to eat anything. I don't know if it's enough to eat for a month."

"What kind of dragon liver and pheasant gall are you eating? And you need so much money. Are you crazy?" Tian Cuixiang is Song's mother's gun.

Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes: "So what? The waste station can't cook. Do you want to deliver food to me? That's fine. Deliver three different meals a day to me. I'll pay three yuan to my family."

Tian Cuixiang's face turned red with anger. What good things are you thinking? You want her to deliver three meals a day. Then she doesn't have to do anything. She can just run back and forth and play.

Even if she pays, she can't get the money. She snorted and lowered her head to continue mending her cotton pants without interrupting.

Mother Song glanced at the useless eldest daughter-in-law. Forget it. She can't afford to offend the second son's family. She wants to take what she has? Don't waste your energy.

Putting on a smile, Song's mother said gently, "Do you have anything else to bring? It will be even colder in a few days. Take your big cotton jacket and cotton pants with you, don't freeze."

No matter if it's fake or not, her attitude has been revealed, so she also put on a fake smile: "Okay, I have to bring my bedding, there's none there, but we have food coupons, right? I can't use them at home, so let me take them, there are a lot of things, how about my sister-in-law take me there?"

The faces of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law opposite fell.

"The second son doesn't send food coupons back very often, there are still a few two-liang coupons at home, wait a minute and I'll find them." She picked out the ones that were about to expire, counted them and found that they weighed one jin, and she was reluctant to part with them. They can be used to buy some cakes and other things.

Liu Qingqing took it from her with a smile: "Thank you, mother. Then, sister-in-law, let's go now."

Tian Cuixiang didn't want to go. There was no ox cart at this time, and she had to help her carry the luggage. She couldn't have lunch after walking back and forth.

Mother Song nodded: "Yes, you have to go quickly. You go to the old house, help send them off, and clean up the house."

She stared at Tian Cuixiang while talking.

Tian Cuixiang understood that she was asked to inquire and interrogate when she came back.

She also had this curiosity, but she really didn't want to go this trip. It was too far and too tiring.

But being sandwiched between her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she was blocked even if she refused.

Tian Cuixiang hung her head and carried the quilt roll sadly, following Liu Qingqing.

It was hard to take a break. If she had known, she would not have said so much.

"Sister-in-law, let's take turns. Mine is too heavy." She looked at Liu Qingqing, who was carrying a bag next to her and moving briskly, and she was really holding her breath.

Liu Qingqing smiled and shook her head: "I have to go to work when I get there. If my arms are tired, I can't hold the pen. So thank you, sister-in-law."

Tian Cuixiang pouted, she is really good at talking. She knows only a few words and still holds a pen.

Liu Qingqing was in a good mood and hummed a little tune. She asked her sister-in-law to come because she was annoying her and wanted her to learn a lesson. She also wanted the old Song family to find out the truth so that they could be more at ease and not have wild thoughts.

The two of them walked back to the waste station without saying a word. It was already afternoon working time.

After taking Tian Cuixiang around her lounge, Tian Cuixiang said with disgust: "This condition is not even half of what we have at home."

Liu Qingqing: "Sister-in-law, please make the bedding quickly. This is for the revolution and for work. Do you think you are here to enjoy yourself?"

"Okay, I have delivered your things. I am going back."

"Don't come. Didn't mother ask you to come here to help me clean up? Look at the dirty window frame, the floor, and the tabletop."

Tian Cuixiang was reluctantly ordered around by Liu Qingqing.

She turned around and walked out.

At the door of the duty room, Guo Xiuhua saw Tian Xiuxiang rushing out and quickly approached her and said, "Comrade, who are you to Xiao Liu?"

Tian Cuixiang was about to say "What's it to you?", but she said, "She's her sister-in-law, comrade, how much do you pay for temporary work? Do you provide meals?"

Guo Xiuhua rolled his eyes and said, "The money is not small, 17 yuan, and there are tickets, and sugar tickets every month. , it's not easy for you to get by in the village, right? Xiao Liu, this temporary worker, is very useful to your family. If you save it for a few months, you will have money and coupons. The whole family will have a good New Year, right?"

Tian Cuixiang pondered: "There are also sugar coupons..."

"That's right, there are benefits during the New Year, don't forget, when Xiao Liu can't leave, you have to think about helping to get them." Seeing this, Guo Xiuhua added fuel to the fire.

Tian Cuixiang's eyes lit up when she heard it.

"As for eating, Xiao Liu can work hard and go home to eat sooner or later. We all go home to eat." Guo Xiuhua deliberately wanted to make things difficult for Liu Qingqing, but she didn't know that Taoshan Village was so far away from Wuning Town, and she still wanted to trouble Liu Qingqing.

Tian Cuixiang's excited expression calmed down after hearing her say this, and she didn't stay any longer. After she said this, wouldn't Liu Qingqing, the thief, have to ask her to deliver food back and forth?

She couldn't bear it even if she had to go twice a day.

When they save the money, what's the use of not giving it to her?

The duty room was not soundproof, and Lu Yan heard the conversation between the two clearly.

She felt more sympathetic to Liu Qingqing. She thought she was not telling the truth before, and she didn't want to have a close relationship with her.

Now after hearing all these things, she realized that it was really not easy for this girl to live in her husband's family.

Chapter 20: Plundering the Passing Geese

When Liu Qingqing was learning from Lu Yan, she could already clearly feel her attitude change.

She knew that Tian Cuixiang was the right person to come.

The management of the waste collection station was not an easy job half a year ago. A large amount of old things came in every day, and the things collected were recorded, with the time accurate to a few minutes, who sold it, what it was, and how many pounds.

More than a dozen items had to be written clearly.

Another thing was shipping.

When someone came with a receipt to pick up the goods, they had to leave a note.

They also had to check with the warehouse every day to see if there were any discrepancies.

After a period of time, the passionate young man gradually calmed down.

After the climax of the house raids faded, their scrap yard was not busy.

In this era of extreme material scarcity, there was a saying, "Three years of new, three years of old, and three years of mending".

Except for people like Lin Zhiqing who were so conspicuous, few ordinary people went to the scrap yard at that time.

Lu Yan was in charge of shipping. When someone picked up the goods, she just checked the approval slips and files and handed them in on time.

The work was simple and easy, and Liu Qingqing got the hang of it quickly.

Although Lu Yan taught her almost everything in a short time, she didn't want to be criticized, so she had to wait another half a month before taking a break.

Guo Xiuhua called her behavior "pretending".

She wouldn't pretend like that, and she would take more rest when she could.

Every day at noon, she would leave half an hour earlier and come back at a time depending on her mood.

In fact, she envied Lu Yan for being pregnant, being able to stay at home and getting paid.

But giving birth would be troublesome, and her family didn't have such a mother-in-law to take care of her.

The weather was getting colder and colder in November. When Liu Qingqing had nothing to do and strolled around the warehouse behind, she saw Lao Liu and Lao Xu wearing military coats, rubbing their hands and stamping their feet in the cold warehouse.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Xu, you two go to the lounge to warm up by the fire, it's freezing cold."

As sorters, Lao Liu and Lao Xu, two grown men, couldn't squeeze into their duty room. Since Liu Qingqing was given the lounge next to them, they didn't suffer at night, but they had nowhere to go during the day.

After all, it was a young wife who lived there, so it would be a bit inconvenient for them to go in.

"It's okay, we can resist the cold." Old Xu was the first to reply. They did regret that they let someone else live in the lounge.

"Uncle, I don't go there during the day. I stay in the duty room in front. You can go and boil some hot water to warm yourself up, or sit by the fire, etc. It won't delay you."

The two looked at each other, and Old Liu smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiao Liu."

"Look at what you said, I'm going to take the lounge of the two uncles. Otherwise, I have nowhere to go after get off work."

Old Xu: "Haha, then we won't be polite."

"Speaking of I still got the advantage. You guys lit the stove during the day, and I was warm when I went home at night. I was so happy. "

The three of them walked to the lounge while talking. After entering the room, Lao Xu said, "Don't worry, girl. We won't touch anything."

"Well, I just added a bed cover to the original one. You guys just rest as before." Liu Qingqing waved her hand, indicating that she was not afraid of touching anything.

Seeing that the two of them were about to carry firewood to burn the stove, Liu Qingqing said goodbye and left the warehouse.

As a newcomer, you can't offend people because of such a small detail. If you bring it up when they can't stand it anymore, it will be a bit of an enemy.

As for Guo Xiuhua, she was not someone he could make friends with. Anyway, he had no evidence against her, but she was in debt and thought she was so powerful.

In other words, Lu Yan did not want to cause trouble, otherwise she could at least accuse her of having problems with her revolutionary thinking and lack of dedication to her job.

A few days later, the paper mill workers came with a note to pick up old books and newspapers.

After Lu Yan taught her how to do it, she decided to go home to recuperate.

It had already started to snow, and she was afraid that something would happen to her in this month.

Liu Qingqing insisted on helping her pack her things and sending her home.

Lu Yan's home was only five or six minutes away from the waste station, and her husband's surname was Li.

This area belonged to the family compound of the processing plant workers.

All the members of the Li family worked in the processing plant, except Lu Yan, who took over her mother-in-law's job in the supply and marketing cooperative. Later, she was transferred to the waste station.

She didn't go in carelessly when she arrived at the door. She just looked at the door and went back.

She cooked on the small stove at night and took it to the space as usual.

Even if there was a stove burning in the small house outside, she didn't feel warm. It was useless to cover herself with thick clothes. Her nose was frozen.

The space was different. The temperature was constant, warm and with suitable humidity.

As for why she had to cook outside.

The kitchen and bathroom in the space were simply useless. There was no electricity, no fire, and no sewer. They were completely unusable.

So she still had to cook outside, and every time she cooked, she would make a little more and store it in the space, so that when she was too lazy to cook, she could eat ready-made hot meals directly.

She also wanted to store more, because it would not be so convenient to go back to the village later, and she could not cook anything except boiled eggs.

The noses of the villagers were all dog noses, and they knew clearly what dishes were cooked by each family.

After finishing dinner, she lay back on the big bed.

Suddenly she sat up again.

She had an idea in her mind that needed to be tried.

Putting on thick cotton shirts and cotton pants, she left the space and went straight to the warehouse next to it.

A lot of things were taken away from the waste warehouse during this period, including toothpaste tubes, broken cotton wool, orange peels, waste paper, etc.

This revealed all the things of the poor fourth uncle.

The exquisitely carved step-out bed with missing arms and legs, the stone Buddha statue that was so damaged that it was unrecognizable...

She no longer looked at them one by one, but put them in the space in the order of arrangement.

She put them next to the lottery machine.

This was entirely because the machine automatically recognized the gold nugget last time.

She couldn't figure out these things, and she didn't have the patience to look for them slowly.

After all, she was able to be patient at the time because she trusted the heroine in the book.

A row of furniture and objects entered the space, and she waited for a moment, but there was no reaction.

Okay, change another batch.

Still no reaction.

Change again.

Until the third round.

"Gold detected"

"Net weight after impurities removed: 56g"

"56 redeemable draws, do you want to redeem?"

Dark, really dark.

One gram for ten yuan.

He complained.

He couldn't stop smiling.

The method worked.

Although it can only check whether there is gold in these things, jade and other things are useless.

But this is not a small amount, and we can't just take a lot of money, there are not enough good things.

The rest will be put next to the lottery machine one by one.

Another piece of silver was detected, this thing is not worth money.

Only two draws were exchanged.

All went through.

Finally got 58 chances

It was getting late, so she decided to quit.

She put her things back in place and went back to her room.

She was ready to start taking time.

This time she didn't use her own money to win the lottery, so she didn't feel bad at all.
