Back at their lodgings, Tingting wanted to tell them a few things, which would also benefit the children.
"Chengcai, your uncle and I have some things to tell you, and we're leaving you some money."
"Auntie, just tell us what it is, we'll definitely be able to handle it."
"The first thing you should do is go to the pharmacy and buy a lot of Niuhuang Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine for treating ailments like bezoar). You can share it among yourselves."
"The second thing is that I heard they're going to issue a stamp the year after next with a picture of a monkey on it. You guys should buy a few more when you have time."
"What's the use of all this, Mother? Why buy so much stuff?"
"Don't ask me that. I'll tell you later. For now, you should all go to school properly."
The children nodded, with Zhu Zi and Cheng Cai thinking more deeply about it.
Zhu Zi was thinking that his parents were not simple people either, and he could feel it more and more as he grew older.
There must be many reasons why they did this; perhaps it's to make money, since they eat too well at home.
Cheng Cai was wondering if this was something that could be developed in the long term? What current issues were the purpose of doing this related to? Was there such information in the newspapers?
The two children's different ways of thinking led them to make different career choices later in life.
But that's a story for another time. Right now, Tingting has taken out 5,000 yuan from the bag in her spatial storage.
“You guys each take 1000. You can go and have a look when you have time. If it’s not enough, I’ll give you more when I come to see you.”
"Yes, Auntie. Yes, Mother."
"Also, in Xia City, everyone calls their mother 'Mom' and their father 'Dad.' You should change that later."
"Then there's the name Fu Bao. When we get back, I'll have Fu Bao and Qiu Qiu go to school. I've thought about it a lot."
"Although this lucky charm has a good meaning, it still needs a proper name, so let's call it Guo Jinyou."
"I originally thought Guo Fubao was the best name, but I was also worried about going to university in the future, so Jinyou is better."
"Fu Bao, do you like this name? If you don't, we'll change it for you."
"I like the name 'Mom,' it sounds nice, let's keep this name."
"Okay, it's settled then. Cheng Cai, you guys stay here with Fu Bao and Qiu Qiu today."
"Your parents have something to do today, so they have to go out early this morning. You two look after your younger brother and sister."
The children didn't ask anything and just nodded.
Before dawn, Tingting and Jianjun got up early and went to the same place as before.
The two of them kept the brown sugar, white sugar, salt, and oil in the space, enough to last about 15 years, and sold off the excess.
With so many great products, people from the surrounding area started coming to buy them, and even those who had to work from home heard the news and rushed over.
Tingting and Jianjun exchanged a lot of gold bracelets, jade bracelets, old items, wine coupons, and also exchanged some money.
After they changed their clothes, they headed back when no one was around.
When they arrived at their destination, the children were still asleep, and Tingting and Jianjun started counting things.
There are 25 gold bracelets, 12 gold rings, 10 jade pendants, 10 jade bangles, 150 wine tickets, and more than 45 other antique items.
Tingting and Jianjun will wait until later to find a skilled person to check what year these things are from before making a decision.
It's not a loss to exchange them all now. There's no need to worry too much now; we'll deal with it later.
"Jianjun, go again tomorrow morning. There's still a lot of meat and game we've caught, as well as fruits, vegetables, rice, noodles, salt, beans, and the like. Replace them all."
“Okay, our kids aren’t home right now, so let’s keep their favorite foods and mail them to them regularly.”
"The rest, which have been kept for 15 years or more, have all been sold."
"Okay, that's settled for now. I'll go there early tomorrow."
