"Only three thousand catties?"

Sure enough, Li Guangsheng was visibly disappointed after hearing the number.

But after glancing at the small stalls selling small items nearby, he had no choice but to nod reluctantly. "Three thousand catties it is, but you have to promise me that you must bring me three thousand catties tomorrow, no more, no less."

"It's a deal!"

Wang Qian readily agreed.

After reaching an agreement with Li Guangsheng, he didn't delay any longer and drove off in his tractor.

However, he was in no hurry to return to the village.

He had promised last night that he would buy a gift for his wife, Lin Xiaoyu.

Now that he has earned his first sum of money, he certainly cannot break his promise to his wife.

Yesterday he took a total of 168.5 yuan from home.

After deducting the costs of renting the tractor, buying potatoes, and refueling on the way, he now has 375 yuan left.

In other words, after deducting the principal he took from home, the remaining 206.5 yuan is the money he earned today.

In a future era of soaring prices, this amount of money might only be enough for a few friends to have a meal.

But in this era, it is already quite considerable.

You should know that Aunt Chen's son, Zhao Qiang, found a good job in the county town, but his monthly salary was only 120 yuan.

Now, he can earn more in just one day than Zhao Qiang does in a month.

"This is it!"

He glanced at the shops along the roadside, then immediately parked the tractor and headed straight for the clothing store.

Although Lin Xiaoyu didn't ask for a gift last night, he knew what she wanted.

The gift that Lin Xiaoyu had always dreamed of was available for purchase at this clothing store.

Although it's a bit pricey, he won't be stingy now that he's made money.

After all, the meaning of making money is to solve the material problems of the people you care about.

This is also one of the ways he makes up for the regrets of his previous life.

In his previous life, his wife and children suffered a lonely and miserable life, and by the time he wanted to make amends, it was too late.

His parents were so poor that they couldn't afford medical treatment and eventually died.

In this life, he will not allow such a tragedy to repeat itself.

no way!

"Hey? Isn't this Wang Qian? What a coincidence!"

As soon as I entered the clothing store, a woman's clear, bell-like voice rang out.

Turning his head, he saw a woman wearing a light blue dress and white stockings on her thighs looking at him with a half-smile.

"Zhou Mengdie?"

Wang Qian recognized him instantly.

This is one of his female classmates from university, Zhou Mengdie.

"Wang Qian, you were almost graduating last year, why did you suddenly drop out of school?"

Zhou Mengdie walked up to him in a few steps and looked Wang Qian up and down.

When he saw Wang Qian wearing a patched cotton-padded coat covered in mud, a barely perceptible hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Then, in a teasing tone, he asked, "By the way, I still don't know where you're working now?"
