Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 120 Thought Height

Wang Lanlan was a little embarrassed, scratched her head with her hand, and said to Lin Qingyan,

"I told my dad everything we did in the past two days and how much money we made."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and murmured:

"When he asked me, I was very cautious and didn't tell him anything. Later, I don't know when he started to get the truth out of me, and finally I just broke the jar and told him everything."

Wang Lanlan lowered her head even more as she spoke, "I'm sorry! I don't know if there will be any trouble in the future."

Lin Qingyan smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, I didn't stop you from telling your family about this, so just relax!

The fact that you came out with us this morning means that the village chief has no objection to you selling things to earn some pocket money."

Wang Lanlan's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? This way, I can let my dad hide the money I earn in the future, and I won't have to worry about my mom rummaging through the house."

After speaking out what was weighing on her mind, Wang Lanlan was obviously more relaxed. She asked Ye Yi to ride in the same car with her, and along the way, the two chattered about what they should do tomorrow.

While riding her bicycle, Lin Qingyan was thinking in her heart, the village chief is such a smart person, it would be good for him to understand the situation.

If the government has any news or policies, they can be told in time to avoid unnecessary trouble.

What's more, this reason was also considered when we invited Wang Lanlan to join the team.

When they arrived at Xishui Village, Wang Lanlan did not go home directly, but followed Lin Qingyan and the others to the educated youth site. After entering the yard,

I saw Sun Qiu Shui and several other male educated youth basking in the sun in the yard.

Gu Yizhou and Fang Yunxing were not in the yard, and the door was closed. I don’t know if they were at the educated youth site.

Lin Qingyan greeted the people in the yard and took Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan to her room.

After entering the house and closing the door, Lin Qingyan took out the money from her pocket.

She was the one who collected the money this morning, so all the money from the morning sales was on her body. She took out a pile of money, in notes of one cent, two cents, fifty cents, one dollar, and even five and ten dollars.

After Lin Qingyan took out the money, she sat on the stool beside the table and said to Wang Lanlan and Ye Yi, "You guys take your time counting. I'll take a break first."

After saying that, he picked up the thermos, poured himself a glass of water, and poured a bowl each for the two people who were counting money over there.

There weren't enough cups, so she had to use bowls instead. She drank the water, but she remembered that every time she went to Zhou Limei's house, she would take the cup from the table and pour water.

It seems that her cups come in sets of several. I'll go to the wholesale market someday and see if there are any cheap ones I can buy.

Even if you don't sell it, it's also a good gift. Bring a set back for your parents during the Chinese New Year. They will be happy.

Lin Qingyan secretly wrote down her thoughts to avoid forgetting them.

While she was thinking, Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan had already counted the money. They had calculated how much they would get last night and how much they could sell it for.

Now, if you count the money, the amount is exactly the same. They really didn't give you a single cent in discount.

"Let's count it again!" Ye Yi said to Wang Lanlan as she looked at the money of the same denomination that had been neatly placed together.

"I knew you would ask me to count again. I've made it clear that I will only count with you one last time. If you want to count again, you can count by yourself!"

While Wang Lanlan was complaining, she and Ye Yi started counting the money again.

Lin Qingyan was sitting opposite them, holding a cup in her hand, drinking water while looking at the two of them calmly.

Life is really wonderful. I had never met Wang Lanlan in my previous life, but we became good friends in this life.

In her previous life, she went to the countryside. Apart from Ye Yi who treated her unconditionally, she didn't have any friends among the many people in the educated youth camp.

In this life, besides Ye Yi, there are also Gu Yizhou, Fang Yunxing, and Xu Jianshan, all of whom are good people.

There are bad guys too, like Wang Xiangyu, whose inexplicable hostility towards her makes her a little confused.

Lin Qingyan was thinking when she was called back to her senses by the excited shouts of the two people opposite her. She smiled and asked, "How much did you earn?"

Lin Qingyan also knew the two of them, and estimated last night how much money they could earn at most today.

"Qingyan, do you know? Today we both earned 52 yuan." Ye Yi ran to her excitedly and shook her shoulders.

"Ye Yi, calm down, calm down, Ouch! Be gentler, you're shaking me to pieces." Lin Qingyan quickly reached out to push Ye Yi away.

Ye Yi did not leave, but held her in his arms.

"Qingyan, thank you, thank you for helping us get these things. Wang Lanlan and I earned a total of 82 yuan in the past two days, 41 yuan each.

This is much higher than a worker's monthly salary, and we have only been there for two days, not every day."

Lin Qingyan patted her on the back and said to her, "Don't thank me, you deserve it."

After she finished speaking, she paused, turned to Wang Lanlan and said,

"It's okay for your father to know that we're selling things, but you'd better not let your mother and sister-in-law know. You can make so much money. If it gets out and people get jealous, it will cause trouble."

Wang Lanlan was not completely ignorant. Her father was the village chief and her family also had relatives in the county town. She was very sensitive to these things and heard what Lin Qingyan said.

"Don't worry, I know the importance of this. The money I made in the past two days also made me understand why the country does not allow private transactions and speculation.

There is so much money to be made from speculation. If everyone were to engage in speculation, who would cultivate the farmland? Who would be the factory workers?

If a country's farmland is not cultivated and no one is willing to do basic operational work, then the country will not be able to maintain long-term stability."

Lin Qingyan was very surprised that Wang Lanlan could have such insights and say such words.

He said to her in a serious tone: "Wang Lanlan, you must study hard.

With your thoughts and awareness, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely be able to stand very high, to a height that you cannot even imagine now."

Ye Yi also looked at Wang Lanlan with admiration, "Wang Lanlan, you are really amazing."

After a pause, he continued,

"I know I'm not smart, and I don't like to use my brain, so I'm just going to follow you two. Don't leave me behind. I'll follow you closely."

Wang Lanlan looked at the two people's warm and trusting eyes and suddenly felt a sense of mission. She really couldn't just muddle through anymore.

Although making money is important, Lin Qingyan is right. She needs to study hard, review her high school knowledge, and learn some new knowledge. Maybe one day she will stand at a height that others will look up to.

Lin Qingyan also didn't expect that today's advice would make her little friend outstanding beyond imagination.
