Chapter 6

Xu Di slept well and woke up when she felt hungry.

"Enter!"

Whoosh, she was standing on the black land again.

"It seems that I am not dreaming, there really is a space." Xu Di patted her head, silently saying "exit" in her heart, and she sat back on the bed.

After all the trouble, I finally woke up.

He got up, opened the bolt on the door, and pushed it open to go out.

Everyone in the family was at work, and no one knew where Xu Jun had gone. He had not been seen since.

“Dang…dang…dang…”

The sudden sound startled Xu Di. It turned out to be the old-fashioned clock on the cabinet striking the time.

It's already eleven o'clock, no wonder I'm hungry.

Xu Di followed his memory and walked into the kitchen. On the table, there was something covered with a piece of floral cloth.

Xu Di opened it and found a small bowl of white rice porridge, four steamed buns, a plate of pickles and two boiled eggs.

As I recall, the food at the Xu family was pretty good.

After all, Xu's mother is a chef. Although not at the wedding banquet level, she is good at making ordinary home-cooked meals.

Occasionally, if there were any surplus ingredients in the cafeteria, Xu's mother and her friends would buy some at the internal price.

In the 1970s, when supplies were scarce, the work in the canteen was envied by many people.

The Xu family's four children are all well raised. At least they are healthy and have no health problems.

"Sister, I'm starving, is there anything to eat?"

Xu Jun ran in and asked for food as soon as he came in.

"My mom left some food for me this morning, but I haven't heated it up yet. I just woke up."

"Sister, are you still feeling uncomfortable? Sit down, I'll heat up the food."

Xu Jun remembered that his sister had just been discharged from the hospital and had not yet fully recovered.

Children of this age have strong self-care abilities.

My parents are busy with work and sometimes they work in shifts. The children at home hang their keys around their necks, go home by themselves after school, and heat up meals. These are all small things.

Xu Jun skillfully lit the kerosene stove, put water in the pot, put on the steaming curtain, placed the steamed buns and eggs on the curtain, covered the pot, and it was done.

The ten-year-old boy performed the movements skillfully and smoothly.

Xu Di just happened to learn how to use a kerosene stove, as she had never used one before.

"Sister, when are we going to grandma's house? I want to eat roasted sparrows."

Xu Jun really likes going to his grandmother's house in the countryside. It's so much fun working in the production team.

"I can't go halfway because school is about to start."

Xu Di remembered that when he first came in, he saw the yellow Gregorian calendar on the wall with the date August 30, 1970 printed on it.

"Oh, I forgot about school starting."

Xu Jun slapped himself on the forehead, looking quite funny.

Ten-year-old Xu Jun is in the third grade at the beginning of the school year, and his grades are just so-so.

"You've really had too much fun this summer. You should calm down now."

Xu Di patted him, stood up and took the steamed buns and eggs out of the pot, and poured the porridge in the basin into the pot to warm it up. She didn't like eating cold food.

In the 1970s, there was a general shortage of oil and water. Everyone had no oil in their stomachs, got hungry quickly, and ate a lot.

Two people shared four steamed buns, two eggs, half a bowl of porridge, and a plate of pickles, and ate them all.

Xu Di couldn't believe that this was what she ate.

During the years of chemotherapy, not only did my hair fall out, but I also lost my appetite. Everything I eat has no taste, and if I eat too much I will vomit.

But just now, she ate two steamed buns, eggs and porridge with pickles with relish.

"It's great, it's great to be alive, and it's even better to be healthy!"

Xu Di secretly swore in her heart that in this life, she would live a good life, not hold grudges, and live to old age in health and happiness.

After dinner, Xu Jun didn’t take a nap, but ran out to play again, saying that he wanted to have some fun before school started.

In fact, even now that school has started, there is not much homework.

The college entrance examination has been cancelled, and many children no longer study much. They go to school just to get a diploma.

Only a small number of people study hard, hoping to get into a technical secondary school, which will guarantee them a job after graduation.

However, many teachers in the school were reported and criticized, and the quality of the teachers who remained was uneven.

In the crazy 1970s, the profession of teacher was synonymous with the old ninth.

Xu Di ignored Xu Jun and took the clothes, towels and other things she brought back from the hospital to the bathroom to wash them.

Xu's mother cleaned the house very well, so there was nothing for her to do. I want to study my own space, but I don’t have any seeds, so I can only watch.

Speaking of seeds, Xu Di remembered that his original body had a small treasury.

Before he was seven or eight years old, Xu Di lived with his grandmother in the countryside. He was better at climbing mountains and swimming in rivers than most boys. My grandmother's home is in the suburbs of Beijing, surrounded by mountains and streams.

When Xu Di was a child, he ran all over the mountains. When he grew up, he followed the children in the village to pick herbs in the mountains and catch fish in the river, and then took them to the purchasing station in the town to sell for money.

After returning to the city, Xu Di basically went back to his grandmother's house during the winter and summer vacations, and still went up the mountains and down the rivers.

So, over the years, Xu Di has saved a lot of money.

Xu Di had memories in his mind and knew where the original body kept his money.

She found the tin biscuit box, which was quite heavy. She opened it and saw a box full of small pieces of money.

The largest denomination is ten yuan, which stands for great unity. There are five yuan, one yuan, fifty cents, twenty cents, ten cents, five cents... and quite a few other coins.

Xu Di found a bundle of leather cases, sorted the pile of banknotes, and tied them up tightly with the leather cases.

I counted it twice and the total amount was one hundred and thirty yuan, eighty cents and five cents. This was the fortune that the original body had accumulated over seventeen years. Even Xu's father and mother didn't know that she had so much money.

At this time, the purchasing power of one cent is almost equivalent to one dollar a few decades later.

The song we used to learn in school music class was, "I found a penny on the side of the road, and I handed it to the policeman..."

Decades later, if there is a ten-cent or fifty-cent coin on the ground, many people will be too lazy to bend down to pick it up, let alone hand it to a policeman, who might think you are mentally ill.

This one hundred yuan is all Xu Di's property and also the start-up capital for her development space.

Xu Di thought about it and decided that the space should be utilized. He couldn't rely on it to get rich, but it couldn't be wasted either.

The area of ​​a standard football field is usually described as 7,140 square meters, which is approximately equivalent to 10 acres.

Her space is not that big, it is a smaller version, about five times smaller, only about two acres.

The space cannot be activated for the time being, and seeds are not readily available for purchase now.

Xu Di put the total of one hundred and thirty yuan back into the biscuit box and put it into the space, feeling at ease. Put the remaining change back to its original place.

After sorting out the property, Xu Di found her own books, familiarized herself with the original owner's notes, and practiced them.

In his previous life, Xu Di graduated from high school but failed to get into university. In this life, there are still six or seven years before the college entrance examination is resumed, if the course of history does not change.

I would be only 24 or 25 years old at that time, so I might as well give it a try, just in case I passed.

After the resumption of the college entrance examination, the value of college students' jobs is still very high, and they have real iron rice bowls. If you can live to be seventy or eighty years old, the pension will be very considerable.

Xu Di stopped thinking about the random things in his mind and started looking through the textbooks of this era.

The original owner's grades were pretty good. Xu Di graduated from high school in her previous life and had a good grasp of basic knowledge. Later, when she accompanied her son to study, she also learned a lot.

When the two are combined, she can really see it clearly!

Xu Di was so immersed in his textbook that he didn't realize he had been reading the whole afternoon until his mother came home from get off work.

Xu Di felt that his latent gene of being a top student might have been awakened, haha…
