Chapter 55 Decision
No one had ever come to buy dry goods before, so Haisheng didn't know the specific price and asked Lin Yunxi to decide the price.
Lin Yunxi really wanted to help the two children, so he secretly sent some food out from the space.
The rice and flour together amounted to 40 kilograms, and in addition, she gave another five dollars.
Although Haisheng didn't know the exact price of these dry goods, he knew that they definitely could not be exchanged for so much food and money.
His parents taught him since he was young that one should be honest and trustworthy, have self-discipline and self-control, and not take a penny more than what is not his.
"Sister, you're giving too much. Even fresh seafood can't be exchanged for so much money." Haisheng refused with difficulty.
Although these fine grains and money can greatly improve the family's life, make my parents less busy every day, and let my sister have a good meal.
Lin Yunxi shook her head and said gently, "I didn't give you too much. In the past, only the emperor could eat abalone and sea cucumber, so they are worth so much money."
She was actually right. Sea cucumbers and abalone alone were worth a lot of money, so this was truly a bargain.
Abalone is divided into one-head abalone, two-head abalone, and so on according to its size. The larger the size, the smaller the number of heads.
The abalone that Lin Yunxi bought were basically single abalones, each of which was larger than the palm of an adult male, and some were even 0.5 abalones.
The same goes for dried sea cucumbers, each one is as long as a palm, brown in color, and obviously top quality.
Haisheng was still a little hesitant. After all, he was born and raised by the sea. He had seen these things since he was a child and didn't think they were that rare.
Lin Yunxi then said, "How about this? In addition to these dry goods, you can also give me the fresh seafood in your bucket, how about that?"
"Okay, thank you, sister."
Haisheng took out the seafood one by one, put them into Lin Yunxi's basket, and thoughtfully drained the water.
Looking at the two children in tattered clothes, Lin Yunxi felt something in his heart and said.
"The quality of your dry goods is very good. If there is any left next time, you can send it directly to the family compound and we will still charge you the same price as this time."
"Just tell me my name when you get there. My name is Lin Yunxi."
Haisheng didn't expect there would be a next time. He trotted excitedly and took out an empty notebook and a pencil that was so short that he couldn't hold it from the house.
With a serious look on his face, he wrote the three words "Lin Yunxi" on the back of the notebook: "Thank you, sister. I'll remember it."
After Lin Yunxi left, he looked at the five dollars in his hand and the forty kilograms of fine grains in the kitchen with great care.
After a while, Haisheng picked up his sister and said excitedly: "Lanlan, brother will make seafood porridge for you tonight."
"My brother eats too, and so do my parents." Hailan giggled.
On the way back, Lin Yunxi was filled with emotion for a moment. She had just been chatting with the siblings Haisheng and Hailan.
I found out that the two of them have not gone to school yet. Their biggest wish is to earn money to buy two good fishing nets for their family.
To be precise, most children from families here have never been to school. They have been following their parents to go fishing to make a living since they were young.
After growing up, due to lack of education and experience, we can only continue to follow the old path of our parents, generation after generation.
As the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure, when a family is still worrying about their livelihood every day and has not enough food or warm clothes.
Talking about going to school is simply wishful thinking.
Lin Yunxi is just an ordinary person. Although she has an incredible planting space, the power of one person is limited after all.
Giving money directly is the stupidest and most unrealistic approach. She can help one family, but she cannot help thousands of families.
Faced with this situation, she was helpless, but at the same time a bold idea emerged in her mind.
If it succeeds, it can change the status quo to a great extent. If it fails, it will not cause any loss to her, but she still needs to consider the long term.
When we returned to the family compound and passed by a large square, we saw a group of children playing the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken".
Lin Yunxi took a closer look and saw Yanyan acting like an eagle, running happily on his short legs and shouting excitedly.
"Brother Xiaozhuang, I'm coming to catch you."
She didn't go up to disturb them, but just stood beside the square and watched patiently.
After a game was over, Yanyan saw her mother standing at the square, and immediately ran over and said happily.
"Mom, I just caught Brother Xiaozhuang. He's going to be an eagle later."
Lin Yunxi took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweaty face and said gently.
"Mom has seen it, baby, you are so great, do you want to continue playing here, or come home with mom to cook?"
Yanyan looked at the group of friends who were waiting for him on the side and said without hesitation.
"Mom, I want to keep playing."
"Okay, go play."
Lin Yunxi thought that she would make something delicious someday to thank the two brothers, Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang, for helping Yanyan integrate into the unfamiliar environment so quickly.
Zhang Hongmei was absent-minded the whole afternoon. While she was working, her eyes would occasionally glance at the door.
After seeing Lin Yunxi, she immediately called out, "Sister Yunxi, come home and sit for a while."
"good."
There is still some time before dinner is ready, and she has nothing to do when she gets home anyway, so it would be nice to chat with Sister Hongmei and kill some time.
"Where did you go this afternoon? I looked for you twice and you weren't at home." Zhang Hongmei asked tentatively.
Lin Yunxi pointed at the basket beside her and replied.
"I went to a nearby village to exchange some dried goods, and planned to send some back to my parents in my hometown to try."
Zhang Hongmei hesitated to speak, and said perfunctorily: "Is that so."
Lin Yunxi also keenly noticed her abnormality at this time and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you have something to tell me?"
Zhang Hongmei thought that she was not saying anything bad about anyone, nor was she exaggerating. She was just reminding Sister Yunxi.
She asked directly, "Sister, have you heard of Dr. Kong Manzhu from the Military Hospital?"
"Never heard of it." Lin Yunxi shook his head.
Zhang Hongmei pulled the stool closer and whispered, "I've heard some rumors these days about Gu Zheng and Kong Manzhu."
Hearing Gu Zheng's name, Lin Yunxi had a feeling that it had finally arrived.
Looking at the entire military region, her man's appearance and ability must at least rank among the top three, so it is not difficult to guess that someone is thinking about him.
Seeing that Lin Yunxi looked calm, Zhang Hongmei continued.
"I heard that Dr. Kong used to work in a big hospital in Beijing, and he came to this remote place just for your girl."
"And it is said that Dr. Kong's family background is very powerful. Now everyone is talking about whether Gu Zheng will choose Dr. Kong for his future."
In fact, the original words were, would he divorce his wife for the sake of his future?
