In addition to these two, Yun Shudai also received a message from the painting competition that she had won the first prize.
Upon seeing this message, I quickly got out of bed, not even bothering to brush my teeth, and hurriedly turned on my computer to log in to the website.
"Wow!" Even he was shocked. He had drawn three paintings, and all of them received the most votes.
Just as she was feeling flattered, He Wan quietly came in. Seeing her disheveled appearance and silly grin, she said helplessly, "Are you crazy in the middle of the day?"
Yun Shudai turned her head and excitedly pulled her hand, saying, "Lao He, I won a prize in the painting competition I participated in, and it was even first prize! They said they would mail me a paper certificate, and there's also a cash reward of 20,000 yuan."
He Wan walked to the computer and took a look. She laughed and said, "Old Yun, you're really something. How could I have wasted your talent in my past life?"
"Hmph, come on, what did you say back then? I could paint my whole life and still not make as much as I do from acting in one movie."
"Of course, things are different now. You're just a nobody now, you don't even earn as much as you do painting."
“That’s true.” Yun Shudai patted her waist, extremely pleased with herself.
He Wan pointed to the refrigerator and said, "Did you go and get me supplies last night?"
"Ah, I now live in a high-rise building in the community, where there are many different kinds of people. If I were to bring a whole truckload of stuff into my room all at once, people would get suspicious. From now on, I'll go to the market every day and bring back a little bit, little by little, until it adds up."
“It’s really inconvenient. I’ll get some more wine vouchers in a few days and sell a few dozen bottles. You can use the money to make a down payment and start looking at houses soon.”
Yun Shudai calculated her savings: "Including the money I won in the competition, I only have 300,000 now. I've looked at the villas around here. The ones worth over 10 million have complicated neighborhoods. For those worth over 20 million, it would be best if they were detached villas with a large yard, so it would be convenient for me to drive my truck in and out. For those worth over 20 million, the down payment would be several million."
Yun Shudai glanced at the jewelry Lao He had given her earlier and said, "Don't bother with the wine. Shall we sell this?"
Old He said, "If you like it, keep it. You can find a house slowly. What I mean is that you should keep an eye out for it recently. After all, it's worth tens of millions. We should choose one that we like and that has good feng shui. Let's set a goal and earn five million this year."
"Five million?" At her current level, that's difficult.
Even so, Yun Shudai still went to the textile market in the afternoon and bought several batches of Dacron fabric and three sewing machines, which her bicycle couldn't hold.
She's decided that she'll buy a small truck by the end of this year, the kind she can drive herself.
After leaving the textile factory, I drove to the antique market.
Old He had previously given her a sheet of stamps.
She was going to ask what price they could offer.
This street is lined with antique markets, and the middle of the street is used for street stalls.
There were storefronts on both sides. It was Yun Shudai's first time in such a place, and she wandered around for a long time.
There were all sorts of things for sale, and she was dazzled by the variety. However, at the end of the street, there was a shop that specialized in selling items from the 1950s and 60s, such as kerosene lamps, flashlights, and various stamps from the 1970s and 80s.
Yun Shudai hurriedly pointed to a stamp in her cabinet and asked about the price. Who would have thought that the owner was a young woman in her early twenties wearing a gray baseball cap.
She initially thought it was a boy, but when she turned around, it turned out to be a cool and capable girl.
"Beautiful lady, this one is worth 23,000 yuan, a 1963 chrysanthemum."
Yun Shudai asked in surprise, "The price per sheet?"
"kindness."
