Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Get rich, grocery store! ...
When Zhuo Jia woke up from her nap, she found that no one was at home. Some were at work, and some were in class.
She got up and took a walk, thinking that if she was really unfortunate enough to go to the countryside, she couldn't go empty-handed, so she started packing her things...
Well, she sat on the chair, holding her chin, and thought about what she was packing. The original owner of this house had clothes that were patched up, and there was another set of clothes that were even more torn than the one she was wearing.
How should I put it? She was the type of person who, in her original world, would be too dirty to be a rag.
She knelt on the ground, clasped her hands together, and prayed sincerely again to the God of Time Travel to let her go back. She didn't want to live in the body of the original owner at all, not at all!
As a poor little person abandoned by the great god, Zhuo Jia struggled to get up from the ground and had to go out for a walk, get familiar with the environment, and get to know the people around him.
Before going out, she glanced at the balcony. Before the second son Liu Qing'an got married, that was the original owner's residence. After the second son Liu Qing'an got married, the original owner moved in under the disgusted expression of the fifth son Zhuo Qingle.
Originally Zhuo Qingle was unwilling, but at that time the original owner was already sixteen years old and a grown-up girl. In addition, the eldest son was getting married soon, so the fourth son Zhuo Qingxi could no longer sleep with the eldest son, so the fourth son had to sleep on the balcony.
Tsk, looking at this crowded house, Zhuo Jia really wanted to cry. She wanted to know how she had offended the time-travel god and why he had thrown her here.
Hey, go out and take a look, see if you can meet a good person or find a way to go back!
Zhuo Jia opened the door and looked around. To be honest, it was really crowded. The corridor was not very wide to begin with, and there were all kinds of messy things placed at the door of each house, including wood, coal briquettes, and even stoves placed outside.
She took a deep breath, told herself that this was Zhuojia, who had lived here for eighteen years, and then she had the courage to step out one step at a time.
"Zhuo Jia, what are you doing?"
The aunt next door suddenly spoke to Zhuo Jia, which frightened her. She saw her and quickly shouted, "Thank you, Auntie."
Aunt Xie is well-known in the family compound for her warm heart and her loud mouth!
By the way, it was Aunt Xie who told the original owner about the girl who went to the countryside and died there. She had good intentions and wanted the original owner to be mentally prepared, but the original owner died in the end.
Aunt Xie, holding a palm-leaf fan, asked with a smile, "What have you been doing? I heard your mother say she wanted you to wash the sheets and quilt covers. Why haven't you done them?"
When asking this question, Aunt Xie's eyes flashed with gossip. Could it be that the third child in Liu Shengnan's family finally dared to resist?
That’s cause for celebration!
Zhuo Jia tried hard to imitate the original owner, lowering her head and tugging at the corner of her clothes, saying, "My mother won't let me wash again."
"Why?" Aunt Xie put down her palm-leaf fan and came over to ask curiously.
Is Liu Shengnan such a considerate person, or has her maternal love suddenly awakened? But based on her understanding of Liu Shengnan, this shouldn't be the case.
"I don't know either." Zhuo Jia shook her head and said innocently.
Aunt Xie waved her hand: "Go and get busy."
She looked at Zhuo Jia speechlessly. It was no wonder that the child was unpopular. There was nothing good about him. Who could like him? It made her so angry.
Zhuo Jia nodded, lowered her head and walked away. If she knew what Aunt Xie was thinking, she would definitely say something. If she became popular, most people would not be able to resist!
When she got downstairs, Zhuo Jia looked back. This tube-shaped building was really...
It’s so crowded!
Some families with three generations or more than a dozen people are squeezed into such a small space of just a few dozen square meters. Standing outside, it gives people a feeling of crowding.
There are several bicycles parked downstairs, and several children are running around the bicycles. On the other side, there is a row of faucets, and many women are washing clothes or vegetables by the sink. It looks quite lively!
After looking around, she strictly adhered to the original owner's personality, said nothing, and walked out with her head down. As for what people behind her said about her after she left...
As long as she can't hear it, it's not talking about her!
Zhuo Jia walked out of the family compound and stood on the street, looking around. The original owner was usually busy working and rarely came out. The few times she came out occasionally were to places like the supply and marketing cooperative and grain station. She strolled aimlessly around the family compound.
It has to be said that supplies are really scarce now. In just a short while, she saw three groups of people trading with baskets. It seems that the people in the family compound are still rich.
She also saw the little hen she had been longing for, which cost two dollars, but unfortunately she had no money!
She could only watch helplessly as the opportunity to make a fortune slipped away from her. She had to make a deal at least once to find out if this purchasing group was worth her efforts. Without money to buy pheasants, she could only find a way to get some wild vegetables, but in the city, wild vegetables also cost money!
Wild vegetables, wild vegetables, she muttered to herself, gritted her teeth and walked straight out of the city. What if there were wild vegetables on the side of the road outside the city, and she happened to pick them up?
With the determination to daydream, Zhuo Jia moved out of the city step by step with difficulty. The good news was that there were green weeds on both sides of the road, but the bad news was that it was difficult to tell whether the weeds were wild vegetables!
Later, I asked a kind grandma who was passing by, and I learned that the weeds on both sides of the road were inedible. The edible wild vegetables outside the city had long been dug up. Now, if you want to eat wild vegetables, you can only go to the distant mountains.
As for the mountain in the distance, if you want to walk there...
All I can say is that you can’t just run away from a dead horse!
Having gained nothing, Zhuo Jia turned around and walked back. It was difficult, life was really too difficult.
When she returned to the family compound, she found that some people had already started cooking. She dragged her legs upstairs. It was really difficult to live in this era. It was extremely difficult to find something to eat outside!
When she climbed up the stairs, she smelled the fragrance of food. She touched her stomach with her hand and felt hungry.
Looking at the door that she had locked tightly, she resigned herself to taking out the key to open it, and wanted to sigh again. This family always competes to see who comes home later after get off work. Their work attitude is incomparable.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Aunt Xie came out with a basket and called her, "Zhuo Jia, come here. Your Aunt Ma and I will go pick locust flowers this afternoon. I'll give your family a basket."
"Thank you, auntie." Zhuo Jia took the basket and thanked her obediently.
She had an impression of sending locust flowers. Aunt Xie sent them every year, but no one else in the family appreciated it except the original owner. The original owner felt embarrassed, so every time she received the locust flowers, she would help Aunt Xie's youngest son with his homework.
Sure enough, Aunt Xie waved her hand and said, "What's the big deal? When you are free, come to our house and play."
After Aunt Xie went back to cook, Zhuo Jia went home with a basket of locust flowers. When she got home, she rolled her eyes and directly put the locust flowers into the warehouse, and then quickly returned the basket to Aunt Xie.
When she finished all this, no one came home!
She didn't cook either. She just pulled a chair and sat in the kitchen. She opened the stove, rubbed her hands, and asked in the group chat excitedly: "Do you want some Sophora japonica flowers? Fresh ones, just picked from the tree."
Since no one in the original owner's family appreciated the favor, and it was always the original owner who had to repay the favor, and this year it was her turn, then there was nothing wrong with her keeping the locust flowers for herself.
Before the only member in the group could reply, someone opened the door and put away the transparent screen, and soon Liu Shengnan came in.
When Liu Shengnan saw her in the kitchen, she felt a little regretful. Because of what happened at noon today, she was worried that the third child would steal food, so she locked the cabinets in the kitchen, which prevented the third child from cooking.
She quickly took out the food for cooking and said, "Hurry up and cook. Your father and the others will be back soon."
After saying this, she hurried out, as she had a lot of things to do.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
What's the matter? Was she too easy to talk to this afternoon?
"Mom, is the meal ready? My fourth brother and I are hungry." Zhuo Qingle came in from outside and shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Zhuo Jia smiled again. She walked to the kitchen door and waved outside: "Lao Wu, you're hungry, so come and cook."
At this time, other students have gone home an hour or two after school. Who knows where these two have gone to slack off.
"Third brother, you haven't cooked yet. Be careful or dad will come back and beat you up." Zhuo Qingxi glanced at the kitchen and said gloatingly.
He was actually scared by the third brother this afternoon. It was so embarrassing. He must get back at him tonight.
Zhuo Jia said nothing, just picked up the kitchen knife and gestured, then smiled at Zhuo Qingxi, and then chopped the sweet potato on the chopping board in half with a fierce knife, and it rolled to the ground.
"Can you say what you just said again?" she asked with a smile.
Zhuo Qingxi was so scared that she leaned against the door and waved her hands: "Third sister, I didn't say anything. I said let Lao Wu cook dinner, you take a rest."
He felt that the look in his third sister's eyes just now showed that she really wanted to stab him.
Zhuo Jia smiled again: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you and Lao Wu."
There was a message in the group just in time. She tried it and found that no one except herself could see the transparent screen, so she walked out of the kitchen satisfied.
"Fourth brother, you messed with Third Sister, why am I the one cooking?"
"I'm a boy. Have you ever seen a boy cooking?"
"I don't care. You do it with me, or I'll go find some scissors."
“…”
No matter what the twins discussed, someone was responsible for preparing dinner.
Zhuo Jia returned to the room and checked the messages in the group. As expected, it was the only group member asking how much Sophora japonica flowers were selling for. But how could Zhuo Jia, who was trading in the purchasing agent group for the first time, know the price?
After thinking for a moment, she opened the warehouse and clicked on the only locust flower. Sure enough, a prompt appeared: [Two kilograms of locust flowers, are you sure about the transaction?]
She clicked OK, and then the sophora japonica flowers in the warehouse were gone. She quickly returned to the group chat and found that the latest message was about the two kilograms of sophora japonica flowers she had sent. Her mouth dropped open. No, the sophora japonica flowers were gone just like that. What about the money? What about the money she had been given?
Just when Zhuo Jia was looking for the complaint button, she found a group message prompting her that she had received a transfer. When she clicked it, she saw that the balance was not 0, but 50 yuan!
Her eyes widened. Two kilograms of locust flowers were sold at a high price of 50 yuan. This, this, this, one kilogram of locust flowers is 25 yuan. It seems that this is traded according to modern prices. Getting rich is just around the corner!
She clicked on the balance, and two options appeared: transfer in and transfer out. She clicked on transfer out, entered 50, and five big unity coins appeared out of thin air in her hand. She clicked on transfer in, entered 50, and the big unity coins in her hand disappeared out of thin air.
Excited Zhuo Jia quickly stuffed her fist into her mouth, for she was afraid that she would scream accidentally!
However, the surprise was yet to come. When she finished studying the balance and logged out, she found that a new person had joined the group. The new person was called "槐花贩子"!
'Sophora Flower Dealer': [Looking to buy wild, pesticide-free Sophora flowers!]
Zhuo Jia, who had just sold some Sophora japonica flowers to a group member called "Grocery Vendor," said: "..."
It turns out that the names of group members also have meanings. She took a look at her real name and tried to change it. The group reminded her that there was only one chance to change the name and she needed to be cautious. Without thinking, she changed her name to "Grocery Store"!
With the huge sum of fifty yuan, Zhuo Jia instantly felt confident. When she heard the twins complaining to their head mate Zhuo Dajiang outside, Zhuo Jia curled her lips. As long as they didn't dance in front of her, she would pretend that she heard nothing. She was rich and happy!
Zhuo Jia walked out of the room only when she felt it was about time. Coincidentally, the eldest brother Liu Qingping and his family of three had also returned.
"Sister-in-law, where have you been all day?" Zhuo Qingle ran out of the kitchen and asked angrily.
Why didn't she realize before that her sister-in-law was so lazy?
Jiang Suying held the child and said, "I went back to my parents' home. What's wrong?"
Don’t even think about asking her to work at home!
However, she didn't expect that her sister-in-law Zhuo Jia actually quit.
Zhuo Qingle slammed the table in anger: "Dad, Mom, my sister-in-law has done nothing all day, why don't you take care of her? How can you be a daughter-in-law like this?"
It's no wonder she's angry. The third son is obviously going to the countryside, but the eldest sister-in-law is doing nothing. Is she going to take care of the whole family in the future?
Don’t even think about it!
Zhuo Dajiang felt sorry for his youngest daughter and said, "Old man, starting tomorrow, you and Old Five will do the housework together."
Jiang Suying was unwilling to do so. She approached her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, I still have to look after Dabao. Dabao is so young, I can't let him play alone."
When she first got married, her mother said that there would be a lot of trouble in her husband's family in the future, and now she believes it.
Liu Shengnan felt sorry for her grandson and said, "The child can't be left unattended, so let Lele do it first."
Zhuo Qingle shouted in disbelief: "Mom."
She is her mother's biological daughter, and now she can't even compare to her sister-in-law...
"I won't do it. Whoever wants to do it can do it." Zhuo Qingle ran away angrily, wiping his tears.
Liu Shengnan fell backward in anger, muttering, "What a rebellion! It's really a rebellion."
No one in this family is obedient.
Zhuo Jia, who was standing at the door, kindly reminded: "This is not rebellion. After I go to the countryside, this will be the norm. Let you get used to it in advance."
She is such a good person!
