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...
“You’re right, we are all blessed people.”
An Ya Lin couldn't help but laugh when she saw how funny and lovable she was.
Lu Qingyang also showed a gentle smile and asked, "Little sister, you said last time that you could get some grain. I wonder how much you can get at once?"
“Brother Lu, my relative doesn’t give me too much at once.”
Lin Jingyu explained to him, "He said it was for my own consumption, and the rest would be for me to use as a favor. He didn't intend for me to make money from it."
He would give us 100 jin of rice and flour at a time, and at most 50 jin of millet, along with some other things.
Moreover, his passing by at unpredictable times; sometimes he comes once every two weeks, sometimes once a month.
"So that's how it is."
Lu Qingyang readily accepted her statement.
In his view, this is normal.
He would find it abnormal if someone dared to give a girl hundreds or thousands of kilograms of grain.
You might also wonder if someone is using this opportunity to set you up.
After considering the matter in his mind, he said, "Little sister, could you talk to your relative who drives the car and ask them to add some to everything they leave you each month?"
"It doesn't need to be too much, just add about double what he originally gave you, is that okay?"
"Brother Lu, I can't guarantee he'll agree."
Lin Jingyu felt that she could handle this number, "but I will find an opportunity to talk to him about it. If he is willing, there will definitely be no problem."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Lu Qingyang didn't hide anything from her and told her his thoughts, "Actually, I didn't want to make money from these things. Some of my relatives and elders are in the same situation as me. They can't even buy food and drink."
I want to do my part; I'll help if I can, and if I can't, then so be it.
"Brother Lu, I understand what you mean."
Lin Jingyu did not think he was greedy.
On the contrary, I feel that he wasn't only thinking about self-preservation at this time.
He still tries to help those in need, which shows that he is not a heartless person.
Then he added, "I'll let you know when I have any news."
"Okay, we'll wait for your news."
Lu Qingyang thought for a moment and then said, "If he doesn't agree, don't force him, lest you upset him and he finds an excuse not to send you anything later, which would be troublesome."
"Don't worry, Brother Lu, I know what to do."
Lin Jingyu nodded, "Is there anything you particularly need? You can tell me, and it would be best if you could get it for me."
"Yes, ask your relatives if they can get some..."
After the two discussed what they needed, Lin Jingyu left despite their repeated attempts to persuade her to stay.
Of course, a few more items were stuffed into her basket.
After leaving the Lu family, she took advantage of the early hour and went to the scrap metal recycling station.
She wasn't looking for a bargain; she just wanted to see if she could find any high school textbooks.
Although the original owner's older brother had attended high school, his textbooks had long been borrowed by others, so she couldn't find them even if she wanted to.
"Sir, I'd like to buy some old newspapers and old books."
Lin Jingyu called out to the old man guarding the gate, "Do you think this will work?"
"Go."
The old man glanced at her and waved for her to go inside.
Upon entering the courtyard, one sees a jumble of messy, broken, and old items.
She didn't touch the furniture or the bottles and jars, but went straight into the pile of waste newspapers and old books.
After searching through them, Lin Jingyu found quite a few ancient books.
She picked out about twenty books that suited her taste and got a bundle of relatively new newspapers.
"Sir, I want these things."
The old man glanced at the contents of her basket and casually said, "One yuan will suffice."
"Thank you, sir."
Lin Jingyu immediately took out a dollar and handed it to him.
"Alright, let's go."
The old man took the money and shooed the person away, saying, "It's not good if someone sees you like this. Take it back and be careful not to let anyone see you."
"I understand, sir."
Hearing this, Lin Jingyu knew the old man meant well and took a handful of fruit candies from her pocket for him. "Grandpa, have a sweet treat for your mouth. Goodbye!"
She shoved a handful of candy into his hand and ran out before he could react.
"This little girl."
The old man looked at the fruit candy in his hand, then glanced at the figure walking away.
A hint of a smile flickered across his serious face as he murmured, "I hope you can all get into university and become pillars of the nation. Our country will depend on you little guys in the future."
After leaving the junkyard.
Lin Jingyu made a trip to the supply and marketing cooperative.
I'll also use up some tickets that are about to expire.
Seeing that it was almost time for her bus back, she hurried to the bus station.
I finally made it back to the village at noon.
After eating a little something to fill her stomach, Lin Jingyu finally had time to open the things that Lu Qingyang and his wife had given her.
A jade bracelet, two lustrous jade pendants, two strings of long jade beads, a total of over 120 yuan, plus ten small yellow croakers.
With these things, thirty years from now, she could exchange them for several houses.
"Aren't these two being a bit too generous?"
Seeing these things, Lin Jingyu couldn't help but feel a headache. "I don't know how to return something of equal value to them."
There are still seven or eight years until this period ends, so for now we can only take it one step at a time and give them the opportunities later.
Putting all these things into the dock space is safe and secure.
