"You know what, a little bit. By the way, I got my high school diploma today. According to the plot of the book, I might go to work in a garment factory.
But I did something different today than what’s in the book.”
"What's up?"
"Recently, the province has a policy of sending people to the countryside. Various government agencies, the military, factories, and schools are selecting a group of people to go to the countryside to work on rural development. The heroine in the book refused, and so did I, the villainous female supporting character. However, I filled out a form with my teacher today and will be interviewing at the provincial department next week."
"Go to the countryside and become an educated youth?"
"I feel a little different from the educated youth. Oh, I don't quite understand. I'm going to ask my dad when he comes back."
"Forget about going to the countryside. I doubt you'll be able to treat wheat seedlings like leeks in the fields."
"That's not the case. I don't understand, but the original owner does. When I was little, I went back to my grandparents' house in the countryside. I worked in the fields and up the mountains, catching pheasants and rabbits. I spent several summers there having fun. Come to think of it, I still yearn for the countryside."
Meng Si Ning rolled her eyes at her and said, "Sister, the countryside today is not what it was a few decades ago. I went to the countryside for an interview yesterday. It was so hot that we were sweating just walking. The commune members were working hard under the scorching sun. I felt so tired just watching them. I guarantee that if you go there, you will cry in no time."
Jiang Tang asked awkwardly, "Is it that exaggerated?"
"have."
"I haven't decided yet. If the plot goes according to plan, I might go to the garment factory, but I don't really want to go because the original owner met the male lead in the garment factory and fell in love with him at first sight. Moreover, the male lead often goes to the garment factory because there is an engineer there who is his uncle, so there are many opportunities for them to meet."
"Then you can't go to the countryside. It's too tiring."
"Isn't there a job to pick grass for pigs? I have a sign-in system, and you're my best friend, so why worry about food and drink? When I get there, I'll find a house to live in by myself. It would be best if there's one close to our city. That would be even more perfect."
Meng Si Ning rolled her eyes: "Sister, you've become stupid from reading novels. They're too idealistic. Reality is often cruel."
Without waiting for her response, he threw her a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao.
Jiang Tang looked at the thing in her arms and giggled: "Sister, you are really awesome."
"How's your head? How long will it take to heal?"
"My sister said that I only need to change the medicine tomorrow. When she changes the medicine tomorrow, I will ask her to apply this on me."
"If you need anything else, I'll buy it for you."
Jiang Tang shook her head: "Your money is fixed. If you spend it, your space will be gone too, so you have to spend it sparingly."
"Don't worry, I have more than 80 million. If I spend one million a year, it will last me 80 years. I'm 20 now, and 80 plus that makes me 100 years old. We won't live to see that."
"Keep a low profile, Comrade Meng. Even if we have money, we can't get carried away. Don't you know that we're very conspicuous in the compound right now?"
"Am I more conspicuous or are you? You are much more famous than me."
Jiang Tang touched his chin and thought about it, it seemed so.
"What I want to buy the most right now is an electric fan. I went to the department store today to look at some models, and they sell them in the system mall. I want a ceiling fan for the living room so my little brother can use it for homework. I just don't know who to ask to install it."
"After buying it, go to our compound community office and ask them to send a security guard to help install it."
"Why didn't I think of that?"
"You've never asked anyone for help with that body of yours!"
“…”
After Meng Si Ning and Jiang Tang separated, they searched the mall for a long time and found that there was a section in the electrical appliance category that specialized in selling second-hand old appliances.
They are all from this era, some look good and are cheap.
Second-hand items can sometimes be surprisingly good.
So she chose for a long time and finally selected one that had ceiling fans that were about 80% to 90% new. She bought two at once, each for 59.9 yuan. After she arrived at the warehouse, she took them out and looked at them. Apart from some bumps and paint chipping, there was nothing wrong with them. It was a great deal, a really great deal.
I checked my balance: 83,064,985,560 yuan.
Her best friend was right. She would try not to use the money here to buy things in the future. After all, she was not short of money here. If she squandered it lavishly, she would not even have storage space if it was really gone one day.
After a few years, when she starts doing business, she can use the system to order a batch of products that meet current public needs and make money.
Get some money, buy two courtyard houses, and get a piece of land, then you can live your life without worrying about food and clothing. It's perfect.
After leaving the space, Meng Si Ning went downstairs and went out with his younger brother, carrying lunch boxes.
The compound canteen is some distance from her home.
The canteen and the military district service center are right next to each other. After passing them, walk a distance towards the gate and then turn left.
The compound is very large, with a small garden, a supply and marketing cooperative, a kindergarten, an auditorium, and a cafeteria, and it has a complete range of facilities.
The cafeteria is not very big, about 200 square meters, with seven or eight tables.
The two of them went to the window and looked at the dishes first.
Today's meal is cornmeal, stir-fried beans, tomatoes and eggplant, and cold cucumbers. There are not many white steamed buns, but many two-grain steamed buns, and some sugar buns, but no meat.
"I'll have a tomato, eggplant, and cucumber. Do you want a candy bun?"
Lin Siyun shook his head without saying anything. He looked up at the window and said, "Aunt Yao, one eggplant, one cucumber, two steamed buns made of 200g flour, and two servings of corn porridge."
Aunt Yao inside was in her forties and a military dependent of the compound. Seeing that it was Lin Siyun, she smiled and said, "Little Siyun, great." After that, she saw Meng Si Ning beside him and showed a bit of surprise in her eyes: "It's Si Ning. It's rare for you to come together today."
Meng Si Ning nodded awkwardly: "I'm worried that my brother can't take that much."
Even I felt it was far-fetched when I said this, let alone the people in the cafeteria.
There are three staff members in the cafeteria, a chef Uncle Chen, two helpers, Aunt Yao and Grandma Zhang.
Large hospitals don’t cook too much food every day to make it easier for military families who don’t have time to cook and for some family members who can’t cook, like these two siblings.
Meng Si Ning used to come here often, but later her younger brother took over.
They were all from the compound and knew some of the situations. Although they didn't quite agree with her letting a child get food all day long, it was not their family's business after all, so they couldn't say anything. The only thing they could do was to help him cover and pack the lunch box every time he came to get food, so that the child wouldn't get burned if he didn't hold it properly.
Although she said she didn't care, Aunt Yao still said enthusiastically: "It's really inconvenient for your brother to carry the lunch box sometimes."
Meng Si Ning said embarrassedly: "Aunt is right, I will come to help get food in the future."
"That's right. There's no meat today, but your Uncle Chen said there will be braised pork for lunch tomorrow."
