After seeing Sun Guohua off, Wen Qinghe and Yan Xiao exchanged a smile.

There was an indescribable joy in their eyes.

Yan Xiao's throat was dry, but he couldn't hide his pleasure:

"Qingqing, I can go to Beijing with you now!"

Wen Qinghe's face lit up with joy, and she couldn't help but joke with him, "Hmm, Ayan is really amazing! Today, both Peking University and Tsinghua University were vying for you. Ayan is so outstanding, he won't abandon his wife who's been through thick and thin with him when he becomes successful, will he?"

Yan Xiao couldn't stand such words. The joy in his eyes vanished, and his expression became solemn and serious.

"Qingqing, I don't care about any of that. You never need to doubt my sincerity. Qingqing will always be number one in my heart."

Wen Qinghe reached out and pinched the old man's cold, stern cheek.

"You old fogey, I know. I was just joking and you took it seriously."

Yan Xiao took the girl's soft, boneless hand and kissed it.

Smelling the alluring fragrance emanating from the young girl, his body began to stir with desire. His voice was slightly hoarse and tinged with a pitiful tone:

"Sweetie, everything at school is settled now. Since the exams ended, plus Qingqing's period, I haven't eaten for many days..."

The man's eyes were terrifyingly deep and suggestive.

Wen Qinghe's face instantly turned as red as a shrimp.

"You... Sunny White, don't be shy... Mmm..."

Her lips were sealed, the man's breath domineering yet carrying a long-suppressed surge of passion.

Taking advantage of a moment to catch her breath, Wen Qinghe quickly said:

"No...no...you're sweating...a lot..."

The man kissed the girl's red lips, his voice indistinct: "Let me kiss you first, then we'll shower together later."

After saying that, he picked the girl up horizontally.

...

In broad daylight, under the clear sky.

These small courtyards were actually closed for two hours.

Is it the degeneration of humanity, or the distortion of lust?

That remains to be seen.

Anyway, it's the time of day when the farmer is hoeing the fields at midday.

I sat there for an entire afternoon.

Who knows that every drop of food on the plate is the result of hard work?

…

Although Wen Qinghe and Yan Xiao have already decided to attend Peking University, they cannot set off immediately.

On the black market, it has always been Yan Xiao, Xu Xian, and Hei Zi who work together.

Now, Yan Xiao and his wife are about to go to Beijing to study at university.

We have no choice but to put an end to this matter.

However, when he told Xu Xian about this...

I thought that once I settled the recent payments and cleared up the old debts, there wouldn't be any more entanglements after he left.

To everyone's surprise, the two of them reacted extremely strongly.

"What? You're breaking up the group???!!"

Xu Xian's reaction was beyond extreme; it was like a bolt from the blue.

Hei Zi also said nervously, "Although the three of us are working together in the black market here, you are still the main force. If you leave, Xu Xian and I won't be able to make it work."

Yan Xiao assumed they were worried about the supply of goods, so he said in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry about the supply of goods. Even if I go to Beijing, I will contact the boss to deliver goods to you regularly."

Furthermore, the black market is not a long-term solution. You should pay close attention to the changing situation. Be bold enough to try new things; things are different now than they were in the past.

Yan Xiao will offer some pointers whenever possible, but some things are sensitive and it's not appropriate to say too much right now.

Xu Xian looked at him resentfully, "You just abandoned us like this? Do you think we care about that damn supply of goods?"

For him, Yan Xiao was a partner, a brother, and an inseparable kinship.

It has long transcended transactions and interests.

Hei Zi knew that Yan Xiao had made up his mind, and after a moment's thought, he made a decision.

"Take me with you! I'll go too, but I might need to go back and prepare for a while."

He had just married the girl he had been longing for not long ago, and he was determined to find a way to take her with him.

That way, he wouldn't have to worry about her stepmother and stepsister coming to her house every day to bother her.

Hei Zi's words reminded Xu Xian, and he slapped his thigh.

"Brother Yan, don't forget me! I've never been to the capital before!"

Yan Xiao sighed slightly, "Going is easy, but have you thought about it? Going to Beijing means we'll be unfamiliar with the place and the people, which means we'll have to start from scratch."

Staying here carries little risk and is, in the short term, the safest way to make money.

Xu Xian raised his hand and rubbed his nose with his thumb. "Hmph, I do well wherever I am, and I eat well."

I refuse to believe that such a vast city as Beijing can't accommodate a brilliant mind like mine.

That narcissistic, arrogant, and irritating look is very much like Xu Xian's.

Yan Xiao and Hei Zi both looked at the head he was talking about with a mixture of emotions.

Whether he is smart or not is uncertain, but his IQ is average and his EQ is below average.

…

The three of them had discussed going to Beijing together.

But Hei Zi and Xu Xian still have a lot of things to finish up.

For example, where does the black market go?

For example, you should notify and make arrangements with regular customers you frequently deal with in advance.

Yan Xiao, on the other hand, was waiting for the notification letter to arrive before heading over.

This is a good opportunity to find a place to stay and see how to survive in Beijing.

In recent years, thanks to Wen Qinghe, a major supplier.

Xu Xian and Hei Zi gradually earned over 100,000 yuan from the black market, and they now have a fortune.

In an era when even households with 10,000 yuan are few and far between.

They had already taken the lead over others and had the confidence to start their own businesses.

They are also destined to be among the first to try something new after the reforms.

As for Yan Xiao's money, ever since he got married, he has entrusted all his money to his wife for safekeeping, so it can be said that he has hardly ever seen any money.

Each time the bill was split, he didn't even look at it before putting it directly into his cloth bag and taking it home to give to Wen Qinghe.

When I buy things for my wife, I usually buy them on the spot.

For example, there are so many things on the mountain that can be exchanged for money.

He goes up the mountain, and there's money for snacks and pretty clothes for his wife.

The remaining money will be automatically handed over.

Wen Qinghe has never lacked money since childhood, regardless of the era.

In modern times, the balance in her card is just a string of numbers to her.

Now, she has more supplies than she could ever eat in several lifetimes, so she rarely needs money. She also has little desire to count the money Yan Xiao brought back.

Inside the space, Yan Xiao specially built a room to store money and banknotes, as well as gold and silver jewelry, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings that the little girl would like.

Each time they throw in a cloth bag, it has now filled half a room.

The two, who had no concept of money, never imagined that the amount of money they possessed had become a terrifying figure in this era.
