However, piglets are very expensive, so not many people raise them. They have to be frugal to afford to eat them all year round, and only eat them during the Lunar New Year.

In Yongquan Brigade, who has the conditions to raise them?

Having no money is a fatal flaw.

Now, there's another reason to make more money.

There are still many places in the family where money is needed.

Chen Yifei was full of energy again.

I got up early the next morning and got ready to leave.

After tying up the big and small baskets, I pushed my bicycle out and saw He Runqing standing at the door waiting for me.

He Runqing handed him the prepared boxed lunch.

"For lunch." Her face was a little red, and she was panting slightly, her breathing a little rapid, indicating that she had run very fast.

"Okay." He felt a surge of warmth in his heart. It felt so good to have someone always thinking of him. "Thank you, honey."

Every time Chen Yifei called her "wife," she would get shy, and her already slightly flushed face would turn completely red.

She quickly turned around and tugged at Chen Yifei's sleeve, looking bewildered.

"Go early and come back early!"

Chen Yifei looked at her and then remembered something.

He said, "Tomorrow you'll have a day off, so I'll take you out and we can take your official ID photos while we're at it. Then we can register our marriage."

"Mmm." She nodded, then took a scarf out of her bag. It was clearly crocheted by herself.

The stitches are very neat, and the skin looks white and smooth.

He handed it to Chen Yifei and said, "It's cold in the morning, it'll be better to wear a scarf."

Then, nervously, she added, "I just knitted it casually, I didn't put much thought into it at all."

After he finished speaking, Chen Yifei immediately realized, "Oh, so you've been busy making scarves these past few days."

He liked it very much; it was warm and cozy.

After wearing it, it smells very pleasant, a light fragrance, somewhat similar to the scent in He Runqing's room. A faint milky scent?

I can't quite put my finger on it, it's very special.

Chen Yifei sniffed it for a while before asking, "What kind of perfume are you wearing?"

Come to think of it, there wasn't any perfume back then! It seems a bit strange.

Unexpectedly, He Runqing lowered her head, looking like she wanted to crawl into a hole, and then said with a forced smile, "Um... it's spices. My mother used to make spices to scent clothes."

Actually, she's been sleeping with this scarf every night for the past few nights! She falls asleep when she's tired from playing, and she's happy thinking about giving the scarf to Chen Yifei, so she unconsciously puts it to her chest and falls asleep.

These balls of yarn and many crochet hooks were kept close to my body.

And because the weather was getting colder, I thought I'd give it to him in advance, rather than waiting until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I made more time, which led to more contact with nature.

That smell must be... her smell! I was in such a hurry, I sent it over as soon as I finished knitting the scarf.

He Runqing's face was already as red as it could possibly be.

"This smells really comforting," Chen Yifei said. "It would be nice to sleep with it in my arms."

He then held it to his nose and smelled it.

He truly loved it, and Chen Yifei wanted to preserve it carefully.

He Runqing said reproachfully, "Pervert!"

"How could you hold it up to your nose and smell it? That's not right..."

Chen Yifei: ?

"What's wrong with that? The scarf is still around your neck, so you can smell it all the time."

"Not only can you smell it, but you can also touch it with your mouth."

"What, is this such a bad thing?"

Chen Yifei also found her behavior inexplicable.

Who knew that He Runqing would shout something directly into Chen Yifei's ear before he could even hear it.

He Runqing tiptoed and kissed the corner of his lips, then quickly pulled away and ran away.

Pointing to her own rosy little lips, she said, "Once in the morning and once at night from now on!"

She was incredibly shy, but she still mustered up her courage and boldly did it.

I was just thinking... I should take the initiative when the time is right. And that'll make him lose his train of thought.

That way, we won't have to argue about the smell of the scarf anymore...

If she could, she would never tell him why the scarf smelled.

How can I put this embarrassing thing?

Chen Yifei: "..."

He stood there for a long time without reacting. After a while, he touched the corner of his lips, only remembering the soft touch for a short while.

The incense, which smelled similar to the scarf, approached her and then quickly withdrew.

He was still somewhat unsatisfied.

If the little girl hadn't run so fast, the kiss would have been much deeper.

Chen Yifei wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.

Next time for sure.

Wearing a scarf, Chen Yifei rode his bicycle with a lightness he hadn't shown before.

First, I went to a state-run restaurant to sell mushrooms, and then I went to the square to sell pancakes.

Throughout the journey, a furtive figure followed them; it was none other than Wang Jianshe.

Wang Jianshe happened to spot them at the entrance of the state-run restaurant and hid to take a look.

So Chen Yifei was selling mushrooms here!

He can make that much money too.

Now he has also put down his long gown that he wore while studying. He was ostracized at the educated youth settlement because he was too delicate and couldn't do manual labor, so he received fewer work points.

His family hasn't sent anything over in a long time. He's having a really tough time. He's been relying on Zheng Fang for support, and he just tries to get by by keeping her happy every day.

They must find a way to make money.

Chen Yifei made so much money, how could someone steal Chen Yifei's business?

He'll bring mushrooms to sell then! He'll sell them to this state-run restaurant. He'll see if the state-run restaurant prefers to work with a former educated youth like himself, or with the same scoundrel Chen Yifei.

This one is easy to choose.

I followed Chen Yifei, but couldn't keep up with his speed on his bicycle. I watched him busily go to a factory worker's gatekeeper, get a stove and various other things, and then head towards the center of the county town.

Just when he thought he had lost him, he discovered Chen Yifei selling pancakes in the square.

The smell was so enticing that it made him feel so hungry his stomach was churning, making him extremely uncomfortable.

I really wanted to buy one, but I resisted the urge.

Chen Yifei is selling things now, and everyone around him is selling all sorts of things; frankly, it's speculation and profiteering. They're encouraging individual businesses now, but it's just encouragement; there aren't any official documents implementing it in the county yet!

To put it bluntly, it's all speculation and profiteering; there's something wrong with it!

Wang Jianshe was extremely excited. In his view, he had firmly grasped Chen Yifei's weakness.

He can make so much money; he'll make Chen Yifei lose it all and go to jail.

If this kind of thing blows up, going to jail is inevitable.

Wang Jianshe gained a lot from this trip.

He would write a letter of complaint at night after returning home, and during the day he would instigate the educated youth to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms.

With just a little encouragement, everyone naturally wanted to make money.

Now, many of the villagers in this brigade, with children of all ages, are working with Chen Yifei, and each family can earn several times the amount of work points earned in the brigade.
