Eating Melons and Watching the Show in a Chronicles Novel

As a member of the working class, Lin Jingyu, a cargo registrar at a port, transmigrated to the early 1970s during her lunch break.

She unexpectedly discovered that she had entered a chronicl...

Chapter 13 Going to the County Town!

“Here I come!”

Master Liu came out of the house.

Upon seeing Lin Jingyu, he asked, "So it's Lin, the educated youth. What brings you here, old man?"

"Third Grandfather, I need to trouble you with something."

Lin Jingyu said with a smile, "I need a large vat for water, a few small vats for pickling vegetables, and jars for storing things. Could you buy them for me when you go to town this afternoon?"

"Sure, no problem."

Master Liu readily agreed.

He often helps villagers with tasks like buying and delivering goods.

People will also give extra money for shipping and labor.

It can be said to be a win-win situation.

"Thank you, Third Grandpa!"

Lin Jingyu was overjoyed.

He took out two ten-yuan bills and gave them to the old man, saying, "Third Grandfather, my new courtyard is just finished, and it's empty with nothing in it."

You know a lot, so please buy what you see for me. Is that alright with you?

"no problem."

Master Liu took the money she brought and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be so capable. You built your own house so soon after arriving. Well done."

Hehe~

Lin Jingyu smiled sweetly and said, "Third Grandfather, I had no choice. I almost lost my life, so I might as well find somewhere else to live my life."

"That's right, it's better to live a quiet life."

"Third Grandfather, thank you for your help."

"Alright, don't be so polite with me. I'll bring you the new house when I get back this afternoon."

"Okay!"

Lin Jingyu pulled a handful of candy from her pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "Third Grandpa, here's some fruit candy to sweeten your mouth."

I'm heading back now, goodbye!

After saying that, he took off running.

Grandpa Liu couldn't help but chuckle as he watched her little figure run away. "This little girl is so clever and sensible, she's a wonderful person."

She ran out of the cowshed. Lin Jingyu then went to the home of carpenter Liu Weijun.

"Uncle Wei Jun, Aunt Xiao Feng~"

A crisp, clear shout rang out.

Liu Weijun and his wife, who had just finished lunch, came out upon hearing the noise.

"Lin Zhiqing, it's you!"

Aunt Xiaofeng greeted her with a smile, "Have you eaten yet? Would you like something to eat?"

"No, no need."

Lin Jingyu quickly waved her hand.

During this period, food was very precious, and people rarely ate at other people's homes.

"Uncle Weijun, are the bed frame, wardrobe, kitchen cabinets, desk, and storage shelves I ordered ready yet?"

"It's done."

Liu Weijun nodded. "Are you moving back now?"

"yes."

Lin Jingyu explained with a smile, "My yard has been repaired, and I want to take these things back."

Liu Weijun immediately said, "There's quite a lot of stuff, we'll deliver it to you."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Weijun."

Lin Jingyu was even happier, "By the way, Uncle Weijun, how much is it in total?"

"Ten yuan will do."

Liu Weijun quoted a price and then instructed, "There are many small items in the house; take them if you like."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Weijun."

Lin Jingyu readily agreed.

He took out ten yuan and handed it to his wife.

She turned to him with a grin and said, "Uncle Weijun, Aunt Xiaofeng manages the money in your family, right? Do you want me to leave you some as your secret stash?"

"You little rascal!"

Aunt Xiaofeng was amused, "You're so young and you already know what 'secret stash' means?"

"Hehe, Aunt Xiaofeng, I'm young but not stupid."

Lin Jingyu deliberately showed off, "Elders all like to hide money from each other. If you don't believe me, ask Uncle Weijun."

Liu Weijun, who was caught in the crossfire for no reason, was both amused and exasperated.

"You silly girl."

Aunt Xiaofeng laughed and pulled her towards the storage room, "You're so young and you love to talk nonsense. Come on, come with me and see what else you want."

Lin Jingyu was not polite.

I found rain hats and raincoats for rainy days and wooden boxes for storing small items in the storeroom and bought them all.

In just one afternoon.

Lin Jingyu had prepared most of the things needed for the house.

You can move in and live here.

Early the next morning.

We rode in Grandpa Liu's oxcart to the town.

This time she plans to make a trip to the county town.

I have no choice but to go.

The dock has all the space it needs, except for the money and currency of this era.

If she wants to become the richest person in the future, she should take advantage of this period to accumulate some funds so that she can make a big splash when the reform and opening up arrives.

She refused to believe that she couldn't make money with her foresight.

Upon arriving in town, I immediately headed to the bus station.

To get from the town to the county seat, you have to take a bus; otherwise, it takes two or three hours to walk there by bicycle.

I sat on the shuttle bus for almost half an hour, swaying and rocking.

Lin Jingyu finally arrived in Chunnan County.

Chunnan County is neither very big nor very small.

There were textile factories, machinery factories, meat processing plants, grain depots, department stores, state-run restaurants, guesthouses, banks...

She passed through Chunnan County by car two weeks ago, and today is her first time visiting the county for leisure.

Therefore, Lin Jingyu decided to familiarize herself with the environment.

She will need to deal with this county for at least seven years.

Lin Jingyu carried a small basket on her back and walked slowly down the street.

Her charming appearance attracted many curious glances, but no one paid much attention to a stranger.

"I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!"

"Go to hell, you shouldn't be alive."

"A piece of trash who only drags others down should have died long ago."

...

A shouting match could be heard coming from the alley ahead.
