The boss said he didn't want any money, and Meng Qidi didn't really refuse to take it. Besides, she took a bag full of books.

In addition to high school books, there are also several types of test papers. She also found some books on agricultural products. Since Yuquan water has effects, she has to learn about this kind of planting.

There is a lot of vacant land at the Ling family's place, and perhaps it can be used in the future. As for what to study in college.

She had no experience in her previous life, but she has been thinking about these things these days. Maybe she can try to see if there is anything related to farming at that time.

The little girl in her previous life had told her that vegetables and fruits that were not in season were not particularly popular. She had the Jade Spring Water and professional knowledge, so she would be able to use the Jade Spring Water easily when the time came...

With a goal in mind, Meng Qidi looked more confident. No matter what the future holds, it will not be as bad as in her previous life.

I put the bag of books in my hand on the scale by the door and weighed it. It weighed about thirty or forty kilograms. Even if they were five cents a kilogram, it would cost one or two dollars.

Seeing that the boss ignored her, Meng Qidi took out three dollars and put them next to the boss, said thank you and left.

The boss glanced at the pile of banknotes at hand, then raised his hand and put the money into the bag.

Not greedy...

Meng Qidi was gone for half an hour, and Ge Mei appeared at the door of the scrap yard again, "Boss, I'm here to buy some books."

The boss didn't even look up. "Why are you buying books at the scrapyard? What are you thinking?"

Ge Mei paused, looking somewhat embarrassed, "Boss, I...I'm not, I'm paying, any amount is fine..."

The boss waved his hand at her, "You are an educated youth, right? Young people nowadays, don't you know how hard life is? You don't take your parents' money seriously. Let's go. I don't have any books here. You've come to the wrong place."

Ge Mei didn't expect the old man to be so stubborn, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle, didn't the comrade just now buy a book?"

"Who are you calling uncle? Am I old? What happened to that comrade just now? She must be mentally ill to come to the scrap yard to buy things! Is her head bigger than others? Come on, come on, don't waste time here."

Ge Mei was almost kicked out in embarrassment. She glared at the boss angrily and turned away unwillingly.

Meng Qidi didn't know that Ge Mei had come back. When she walked to a deserted place, she put the bag in her hand into the space, including the purse given by Ling Xiao.

She was really afraid of losing it as she was wandering around the city with so much money.

The department store in the city was much more enthusiastic than the department store in town, and patiently took Meng Qidi around to look around.

Meng Qidi didn’t buy too much. She only bought herself a plaid shirt. The clothes in the space were so beautiful that she really looked down on them.

When I came out of the department store, I secretly put two beautiful hairbands and a dark silk scarf into my bag while no one was around.

When she arrived at the hospital, Ling Xiao had not come out yet. Meng Qidi went in and found Ling Xiao. Several people were talking in the doctor's office.

Meng Qidi quickly pricked up her ears and listened.

The doctor glanced at Meng Qidi and continued, "Although I'm not sure if she will recover, she is in better condition than before. The medical level in our county is also there. Comrades, I suggest that you go to Beijing for a thorough checkup in half a year."

"We must go back to Beijing. Thank you, doctor." Shen Xing said hurriedly. If the captain's legs haven't recovered after the six-month vacation, he might have to transfer to a civilian position.

After coming out of the hospital, they were a little quiet. When they were about to get in the car, Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Don't be sad, isn't this good news? It's better than getting worse."

Meng Qidi didn't think too much about it. She guessed that Ling Xiao's leg condition had improved a little, and it must be partly due to the spiritual spring water.

What if Ling Xiao drank the lotion above?

Meng Qidi's heartbeat quickened. She was probably recovering at an incredible speed...

Of course, she didn't dare to take it out. It recovered so quickly, it was too scary. When she went to the Ling family in the future, she could mix some lotion into the well water.

Seeing Meng Qidi staring at his legs, Ling Xiao chuckled, "Don't worry, even if my legs can't get better, I won't drag you down."

He is willing to give her money to buy clothes now because he doesn't want her life to be too difficult.

I feel more sympathy for Meng Qidi.

Meng Qidi remembered her purse and quickly took it out and handed it to Ling Xiao, "I bought the clothes."

She used the five dollars that Meng Daqiang extorted from Meng Yuzhen to buy the book, and she only spent three dollars. A plaid shirt cost five dollars.

Ling Xiao wanted to let Meng Qidi take it, but seeing the determination in her eyes, he took the money.

"Save it later. You don't have to worry about taking so much." Meng Qidi advised worriedly.

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go save it later."

Uncle has taken a lot from his family over the years. He originally wanted to give some to Meng Qidi, but since she doesn't want it, he will save it and give half of it to her in the future.

Meng Qidi remembered the bag in her hand, and quickly took out a silk scarf and a hairband, carefully put them in a small bag and handed them to Ling Xiao.

"This is a gift for Auntie. The hairband inside is for Xiao Chengzi."

She thought it was too little, so she put a beautiful hairpin in it.

Ling Xiao felt helpless. He would depend on her to take care of the family for the next year. Was it necessary for her to be so clear about the distinction?

He even suspected that the clothes in her bag must not be expensive.

However, as it was a gift for the old and the young in his family, he couldn't refuse.

The four of them did not rush back and went to the post office first.

In the late 1970s, the Post Office and the Postal Savings Bank belonged to the same company, so you could deposit money and send things in the same company.

Meng Qidi felt relieved after watching Ling Xiao deposit the money and put the passbook away. It wasn't that she liked to worry about this.

The Meng family, both old and young, rely on this money to survive, and Ling Xiao has a bad leg. This money may be the foundation of the Ling family's survival in the future. Without it, the family will be left with nothing.

With this money in Ling Xiao's hands, she will be able to relax a little in the future.

A few people came out of the bank and helped Ling Xiao into the car.

A surprised voice sounded, "Xiao Qi? Is it really you again?"

Hearing Ge Mei's voice, Meng Qidi frowned slightly. She really didn't want to see this woman...

"Xiao Qi, are you guys going back?"

Ge Mei walked over with a smile and glanced at Ling Xiao in the car inconspicuously. Her eyes fell on the bag in Meng Qidi's hand.

"Xiao Qi, is this your girlfriend? Didn't you say you were going to buy a book for her? Did you buy the book there?"

Meng Qidi narrowed her eyes. There were three men here. How could she be sure that Ling Xiao in the car was her partner?

Her heart sank, and she said, "Comrade Ge, I didn't buy it. I thought there were books at the scrap yard, but I overthought. The boss kicked me out."

Meng Qidi had no idea what Ge Mei was trying to do, so she had no intention of telling the truth.

Ling Xiao glanced at Meng Qidi who was standing by the car and hadn't gotten in yet, "What book do you want to buy? I'll have someone buy it for you."

Meng Qidi smiled at him, a little embarrassed, "I was just worried that you would be bored at home, so I wanted to buy you some books."

It's embarrassing to use him as an excuse.

Ling Xiao was slightly stunned, somewhat surprised that she actually thought of him, "No need to buy it for me, let's go back."

Meng Qidi didn't want to get entangled with Ge Mei, so she smiled apologetically at her. Before she could say goodbye, she was interrupted by Ge Mei.

"Xiao Qi, do you mind giving me a ride back?"

Meng Qidi...
