Volume 1 Chapter 43: Received the royalties, got high

Sheng Wanyan put 5 kilograms of rice mixed with soil into the backpack.

The last time she came to the black market, she found that the rice of this era was mixed with some soil, and there was very little white rice.

Unlike the rice from the supply and marketing cooperatives, there are people in the warehouse who specifically clean and select it.

I was too careless to notice it before, I can't be stupid this time.

He put five pheasants and three pounds of brown sugar in it, left the space, and followed the 50-year-old woman's steps, heading towards the black market.

Sheng Wanyan went back to the old place and squatted there. Sure enough, someone came up to ask after a while.

The things in the backpack were soon sold out, and she secretly added some more things in.

Sheng Wanyan sold cigarettes at this intersection for half an hour and then went to another intersection.

It's a rare day off since I have some free time today, so I can sell more and display them at home later.

Sheng Wanyan changed five or six intersections, selling cigarettes while looking around vigilantly.

"Auntie, I want all the remaining brown sugar."

A middle-aged man in his 40s bought all the 2 kilograms of brown sugar in her backpack. His daughter was pregnant and he wanted to give her some nourishment.

"I want a ticket, 2 yuan."

The middle-aged man took out a stack of banknotes, counted out 2 yuan and gave it to her, and then gave her a food coupon.

Sheng Wanyan handed him the brown sugar, and as soon as the others left, she hurriedly left the black market.

She stayed too long today, and if she didn't leave, it might attract attention.

Sheng Wanyan left the black market and immediately entered the space to change back into her clothes.

I poured out all the money and bills in the backpack and started counting my gains for the day.

She made a lot of money by doing this small thing and constantly changing places, earning 2.4 cents in a few hours.

There are still a lot of various bills, so she doesn't plan to go to the black market for the next month to avoid the spotlight.

Sheng Wanyan picked out all the bills that were going to expire this month and went to the supply and marketing cooperative after leaving the space.

It’s true that there were quite a lot of them, especially food coupons. After all, other bills were too valuable and people were reluctant to use them.

Sheng Wanyan used up all the receipts she could. Anyway, the things she bought would not go bad if they were kept in the space, and she could take them back home when needed.

Sheng Wanyan bought 5 kilograms of pastries, 2 bottles of Moutai liquor, 3 kilograms of pork and 3 kilograms of flour. She also bought two cans of malted milk.

I also bought two sweat shirts for Mr. and Mrs. Sheng. They are perfect for wearing to work.

After buying things, Sheng Wanyan found a deserted place and entered the space. She took out a pound of pastries and a pound of pork, as well as two sweatshirts of Sheng's father and mother and went home.

They haven't eaten much meat at home this month, so eating some meat wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Sheng Wanyan returned home when everyone was cooking, and no one saw her bring some meat home.

Everyone in the family likes to eat fatty meat, but she doesn't like it. She took a piece of very fatty meat, but there was also some lean meat.

Basically, the lean meat is given to her at home, as everyone in the family knows that she doesn’t like greasy food.

Mother Sheng just felt that her girl really didn't know how to eat. These were all good things. With this kind of character, she would suffer in her husband's family in the future.

Mother Sheng was taking a break and was cooking. Her braised pork was delicious, the meat was very flavorful and not greasy at all.

There is also Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables, which is also Sheng’s mother’s specialty. It simply melts in your mouth.

The family members were eating so much that their tongues were almost curled up, and they didn't say much.

"Wife, we'll eat together next time."

Mother Sheng rolled her eyes at what his father said. It is true that only those who don’t manage the household know how precious daily necessities are.

"How many tickets can you spend in a month?"

You think about eating meat all day long, but you don’t realize how hard it is to buy meat nowadays.

"Hey, wife, we have six kilograms of meat coupons a month."

Mr. Sheng had a look on his face that said, "Don't try to fool me." Mother Sheng was so angry that she almost flipped the table.

Sheng Wanyan gave her father a thumbs up in her heart. Her father was really brave to say that today. Was he trying to make the serfs sing a song to liberate themselves?

Mother Sheng sneered, and Father Sheng shook his body, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, lowered his head and dared not speak.

Under pressure from Sheng's mother, the family went back to their room to rest early after dinner.

As for what happened to Sheng's father after he returned to his room, no one knows.

Sheng Wanze is coming back to get married in October, and his mother is worried.

Although it is not convenient to set up a banquet, it still costs a lot of money to treat relatives and friends to a meal. The most important thing is that meat is hard to buy!

They couldn't let their in-laws look down on their family, could they?

We still have to give enough face to the Pan family and let them see how much they value it.

Otherwise, if the Pan family feels dissatisfied in the future, it will not only affect the family's reputation and the relationship between the in-laws, but also affect the future relationship between the two children.

But today, Father Sheng was still mad at her about the meat, and she wouldn't feel relieved until Father Sheng got his revenge.

———

Sheng Wanyan went to work obediently afterwards. After keeping a low profile for the past month, Niu Fangli no longer kept an eye on her and Wu Jiaxiu.

They always talk about things outside and just chat in the office.

Even if Niu Fangli wanted to know something, she couldn't find any evidence.

Sheng Wanyan also finished knitting two sets of sweaters and trousers for Grandpa Sheng. After Grandpa Sheng received them, his smile never faltered.

Half a month passed, but Sheng Wanyan still hadn't received any letter from the Kyoto newspaper.

She planned to go back in a few days, fearing that she might be delayed on the road. Sheng Wanyan was not in a hurry at all and just did what she had to do every day.

Sure enough, a few days later, Sheng Wanyan went to the post office and received two envelopes and a stack of articles sent from the Kyoto newspaper.

The number of articles was obviously double that of before, and it seemed that her strength had been recognized by the Kyoto newspaper.

Sheng Wanyan found a place, put all her things into the space, and hurriedly rode her bike home.

When she opened the envelope that night, she found a letter from a newspaper saying that they would send her more articles at a time in the future.

As she said in the letter, she would try to translate and send no less than 30 articles a month.

This time the newspaper sent 80 articles directly to her, and there was also an envelope containing her last royalties.

Last time she translated 30 articles, totaling 21,000 words.

At 1 cent per word, her royalties amounted to 210 yuan.

Originally, they were supposed to exchange some bills for her, but when they saw in her letter that she said she didn't need bills, they didn't help her exchange them and gave her cash directly.

Sheng Wanyan felt very satisfied when she looked at the money she earned from her hard work.

I even shed tears. Only when a person has his own value will he feel that he belongs to this world.

Once people have a sense of belonging, they will want more. People are always greedy. She has seen so many people obsessed with money and fame in later life, and she is no exception.

On the contrary, the ambition is greater...

Sheng Wanyan put all the money and letters into the space, then started translating articles.

How could she not be addicted after reaping the benefits?
