Chapter 15: Understanding from the Eldest Sister



Finally, in order to better stay in the village and the unit in the future, Chen Xia bought 5 cartons of "Daqianmen cigarettes" in one go. These were high-end products of that era, costing 50 cents a pack, and usually only leaders could afford them.

I also bought 5 cartons of "Changsheng" cigarettes, 8 cents a box.

After all the purchases were made, Chen Xia had spent over a hundred yuan. Even the store clerk was surprised, thinking he was some rich kid. It was rare to see someone so wealthy as to spend several months' salary in one go.

After four days, Chen Xia and his friends had to go back. The space was empty when they came, and they were leaving with lots of bags, not to mention the food in the space.

When Chen Chun sent everyone to the train station, he was very reluctant to leave, especially Chen Dong, who kept hugging his eldest sister and crying.

Instead, Chen Xia comforted Chen Chun like an older brother, "Sister, don't spend money on anything. Eat whatever you want and buy whatever you want. We are not short of money now."

Chen Chun touched his older brother's hair affectionately and said, "I understand. Thanks to our family's God of Wealth, I will definitely eat well, dress well, and stay healthy in the future."

It turned out that her family was well-off, and Chen Chun, who was like a princess in Qingfeng Village, naturally would not let herself be wronged.

Since you have the conditions to enjoy it, why would you choose the worst cafeteria food that costs 5 cents a cent? Who doesn’t want to eat something good?

After traveling for most of the day, taking both the train and the boat, it was already evening when we got home.

The people in Qingfeng Village were a little surprised to see the Chen brothers and sisters coming from outside. They went to Hangzhou and brought back so many things in big and small bags. Could it be that Chen Chun had such good conditions studying in Hangzhou?

The little fat boy Chen Yize couldn't wait to go home. He wanted to show off his new clothes and Warrior shoes, as well as a pound of White Rabbit milk candy. As long as he took them out, he would be the undisputed leader of Xipu Commune Primary School.

Chen Yigen also saw the Chen brothers and sisters carrying large and small bags home, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that they were just some local specialties of Lin'an, perhaps sent by Chen Chun.

But when Chen Xia came to his house at night and took out a "Da Qianmen" cigarette, Chen Yigen had a premonition that Chen Xia must have squandered his money in the provincial capital.

He was especially certain when he caught a glimpse of the Shanghai watch on his wrist.

For a moment, he was so angry that he pointed at Chen Xia and was speechless.

When Chen Xia saw Fourth Grandpa like this, he hurried to explain,

"Fourth Grandpa, you see, I'm about to start working. As a future doctor, I need to be able to time my patients. How can I do this without a watch? Right?"

When Chen Yigen heard this, he thought it made some sense, so he just hummed and said nothing.

Chen Xia continued to speak like coaxing a child:

"I bought these two large front doors especially for you. If you hadn't taken care of our family these past few months, my brother and I would have starved to death. Also, I got this job thanks to you. Isn't it in our ancestral teachings that descendants of the Chen family should be grateful?"

These words touched Chen Yigen's heart.

Helping Chen Xia get a job at the Fourth Hospital was definitely the most glorious peak in his life. Which brigade cadre in this area had such ability and courage?

Only Chen Yigen could get a worker position with just a few words.

That's a regular employee position, not a temporary one. It's a chance for a farmer to break free from the pressure.

So, what's wrong with hitting him twice with the "Da Qianmen"? What's wrong! Justified.

Now Chen Yigen no longer had a headache and his chest was no longer stuffy. He grabbed a cigarette and took out a cigarette. Chen Xia quickly lit it for him like a lackey. The old man was very happy to smoke this cigarette.

When Chen Xia took out the 1,000 yuan debt, Chen Yigen nodded and put it in the drawer.

"Fourth Grandfather, when I came back today, I went to the Fourth Hospital to get the money. The leader asked me if I could find a way to get another batch of grain. However, the rules and prices are still the same, and strict confidentiality is required."

Chen Yigen puffed out smoke nonchalantly and said, "This is a good thing. It solves the food ration problem for the staff of the Fourth Hospital and also increases our farmers' income. Don't go to other villages to advertise. We have more than 400 households in Qingfeng Village, so there's more than enough food. You can start purchasing tomorrow."

When Chen Xia heard this, he was overjoyed. He could make some small fortune again.

Yes, Mr. Chen, the richest man, is now addicted to making money. How can he miss this opportunity that has no risk and can make a lot of money?

There are still more than ten days left before he reports to the Fourth Hospital, and he wants to make some more money.

Once he joins the company, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take a few days off to earn money. These days, companies only give one day off a week.
