The next day, people from the courtyard went to the bank to exchange their money, and by lunchtime, everyone had already seen the new RMB.
When the two sets of banknotes are compared, the second set of RMB has a clearer image and a stronger sense of relief. Most importantly, it has added a watermark for anti-counterfeiting purposes, making the second set of RMB more popular.
In the afternoon, those who had exchanged their money were still not entirely at ease, so they secretly went to buy some things to test the waters. They found that a pound of pork cost 68 cents. This put their minds at ease, and they all rushed to the bank to exchange their money, afraid that if they went too late, the bank wouldn't accept it.
The Sun family doesn't have so many problems. The couple usually only keep a little pocket money and deposit the rest in the bank. By the time the one-year grace period is over, the pocket money will probably be used up.
Sun Zhengguo waited until everyone had exchanged their money before leisurely going to the bank to exchange his own.
Because of his young age, there was almost a misunderstanding. People thought he was someone's naughty child who stole money from home to exchange for the item. Fortunately, the misunderstanding was cleared up in the end, and the exchange was successful.
Looking at the 800 yuan in his hand, which still smelled of the unique fragrance of coins, Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to be rich. Money is a good medicine, and it has the effect of making things clear and straightforward."
After exchanging the money, Sun Zhengguo got on his bicycle and slowly rode towards the courtyard house.

Lou Xiao'e was in a bad mood today because she accidentally broke Lou Bancheng's favorite vase and was scolded by him. In a fit of anger, she secretly ran away by herself.
Lou Xiao'e is 16 years old this year. She is gentle, innocent and kind.
He was well protected by Lou Bancheng from a young age, was picked up and dropped off by car, never experienced the good and evil of human nature, and never suffered the harshness of society.
Today, she sneaked out by herself and unleashed her girlish nature, becoming curious about everything. Since she had plenty of money, she would just say "buy, buy, buy" whenever she saw something.
Little did she know that her behavior had already attracted the attention of several street thugs.
When Lou Xiao'e returned home after shopping, she discovered that someone was following her, but it was too late.
Although Lou Xiao'e was naive, naivety does not mean stupidity. When she saw that the situation was not good, she turned and ran away. However, in her panic, she ran into a dead end.
These street thugs were well-known figures in the area, nicknamed the "Four Heavenly Kings."
When the group saw Lou Xiao'e run into the dead end, they laughed even harder. One of them said...
“Brother, it was going to take some more effort, but look at this stupid woman, she’s gotten herself into a dead end.”
The man called "Big Brother" was extremely happy at this moment. Usually, these street thugs were starving, and today they had finally caught a fat sheep, so they had to fleece him to death!
Thinking of this, the man said to the person who had just spoken.
"Third brother, you guard the alley entrance in a bit. Second brother and fourth brother, come in with me. Don't worry, after it's done, you brothers will get your share of the benefits."
"Okay, boss, don't worry, I promise I won't let a single person come over."
After the third brother finished speaking, he winked at the fourth brother.
…………
When Lou Xiao'e ran into the alley, she was completely dumbfounded. There was no way forward, only a wall. She could only climb over it, but she was too weak to do so!
"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?"
Lou Xiao'e kept talking.
At this moment, the remaining street thugs also came in.
Lou Xiao'e realized that the situation was hopeless. She thought to herself, "Money is just an external thing. I should protect myself first. I hope they won't hurt me after they take the money."
Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e spoke up.
"Brothers, all my money and these things are here. Please take them too, but please don't hurt me, okay?"
As Lou Xiao'e spoke, she pulled out a stack of banknotes, which, by sight, amounted to more than a hundred yuan.
The street thug leader hadn't expected things to go so smoothly, so he went along with it and said...
"Don't worry, we have rules too. Since you're so cooperative, we'll take the money and leave without hurting you."
Lou Xiao'e felt relieved after hearing what the other party said and quickly handed over the money in her hand.
The leader of the street thugs took the money and was about to make his escape when the fourth street thug spoke up.
"Wait, big brother."
The eldest brother looked at the fourth brother with a puzzled expression.
"Brother, I've never asked you for anything else, but I've fallen for this woman at first sight. I don't need the money, I want her."
The fourth brother pointed at Lou Xiao'e and said.
The fourth brother's move put the eldest brother in a dilemma. If he agreed, he would have already promised Lou Xiao'e not to hurt her, and besides, it wouldn't be in accordance with the rules. If he disagreed, he would hurt his brotherly feelings.
"Sigh, the team is not easy to lead."
In the end, the leader decided to stand on his brother's side and screw the rules and code of honor.
"Second brother, let's go."
Only Lao Si and Lou Xiao'e remained at the scene.
Lou Xiao'e was desperate and regretful. She regretted being willful and running away alone, but what could she do now?
"Yes, yes, yes, I can still call for help."
Even though this might not work, we can't just wait for that... thing to happen, right?
"Help! Help! Someone, please help me!"
The piercing screams carried far.
…………
Sun Zhengguo was riding his bike home, and he was only two blocks away from home.
Suddenly, from a nearby alley, came a series of urgent cries for help; judging from the voice, it was a woman.
Sun Zhengguo initially didn't want to get involved, but hearing the pitiful cries for help, his heart softened, and he decided to go and see.
So, following the sound, they arrived at the entrance of the alley.
The guards at the alley entrance were initially a little scared when they saw Sun Zhengguo riding his bicycle over, but when they saw him, they relaxed. Wasn't this just a good-for-nothing?
When Sun Zhengguo rode up to them, the eldest brother stepped forward and said fiercely.
"Where did this wild brat come from? He's not even fully grown yet, and he's already trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress. Get the hell out of here."
"Hahaha!……"
After saying that, they all burst into laughter.
Sun Zhengguo didn't say anything, but got off the car and parked the bicycle.
Seeing that Sun Zhengguo showed no respect, the leader raised his fist and punched Sun Zhengguo in the face.
Seeing the opponent's fist coming, Sun Zhengguo shifted his body to the left and dodged the punch.
With a backhand "Wild Horse Charging Through the Pine Trees" strike, he smashed the old street urchin into his stomach. With a scream, the old man was lying three meters away, clutching his stomach, rolling around and howling in agony. This showed how powerful the punch was.
One punch Ko
Two street thugs nearby realized they'd run into a martial arts expert. Their strongest leader had already been taken down. What to do?
"Not to save them? It's morally wrong."
"Save them? How can we save them? We can't beat them! Our strength won't allow it!"
At this moment, the cries for help from the alley grew louder.
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengguo ignored the two street urchins who were standing there in a daze and quickly ran into the alley.
As soon as Sun Zhengguo entered the alley, the two street thugs quickly helped up their still-shouting leader and fled into the distance.
As for the remaining fourth child, well, may the Bodhisattva protect you, and may you have good fortune!
