After returning to their home, Lin Qingyu spent a few days making plans.
She planned to do many things, including making money on the black market, helping Zhao Xiaobao go back to school, and most importantly...
About Lin Weidong.
He fell into the river and drowned in his previous life, but Lin Weidong clearly can't swim, so how did he go back to the river to play?
Lin Qingyu had always believed that there was something fishy about all of this in her previous life, but she was simply unable to investigate.
Moreover, in her previous life, she had never heard of such a large snake appearing in Gu Shi's house.
Therefore, the appearance of this snake must be related to her.
It's at least related to her rebirth.
She heard about it on the day she returned to her parents' home; all her relatives knew about the trouble her family had gone through.
Lin Qingyu also overheard people discussing a medicine seller in the village who went to the mountains to collect herbs all day long, wondering if it was related to him.
She plans to find this person and inquire about him when she has time.
The most important thing now is to make money.
Zhao Xiaobao's matter can't be resolved in a short time, but Lin Weidong's matter should be safe for the time being.
After making the decision, Lin Qingyu began to take stock of the goods she could sell.
Rice, wheat flour, and cornmeal can all be sold, and the items in her space are of good quality and can fetch high prices.
However, there is a problem: last time she was lucky and happened to run into someone who came to buy, and they bought it all at once.
The black market is a very chaotic place, and it feels a bit dangerous for her to sell things there all by herself.
She thought and thought, but still couldn't find a solution.
That evening, Lin Qingyu and Gu Shi sat in the courtyard enjoying the cool air, and she mentioned that she wanted to go to the city.
Gu Shi looked at Lin Qingyu, who had said more than once that she wanted to go to the city.
He thought about it and agreed, but he wouldn't allow her to go by herself.
Gu Shi doesn't go out to do village work every day; he usually makes up some money during the year-end settlement.
But he still went out every day. Lin Qingyu didn't know what he was doing and didn't ask.
Lin Qingyu was very happy that Gu Shineng agreed to her request; as for the rest, she would discuss it when they arrived in the county town.
The group set off the next day. Gu Shi didn't take Lin Qingyu in the village's donkey cart; instead, he somehow managed to get an oxcart.
Lin Qingyu remembered the car he had borrowed when they got married.
Sitting on the swaying oxcart, Lin Qingyu asked Gu Shi, who was driving the cart.
"Old Gu, where did you borrow that car from last time?"
Gu Shitou didn't return either, focusing on driving the oxcart.
"I borrowed it from a friend."
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Lin Qingyu didn't ask any further questions.
When they arrived in the county town, Lin Qingyu thought she should go to the department store first. Her excuse was to buy some fabric and make some clothes for the group.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shi told her to go by herself, as he had his own things to do.
After the two agreed, Gu Shi took Zhao Xiaobao and left, agreeing to have lunch at the state-run restaurant at noon.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Qingyu first went to the black market to sell things.
Surprisingly, the guards outside didn't give her any trouble this time. They let her in directly and even found her a good spot.
Lin Qingyu simply considered it good because it was her own stuff, since she had to pay a management fee to the black market when she sold things.
She was alone, carrying two large baskets of goods, and in a good location, people quickly came over to ask about the prices.
Lin Qingyu sold out again in no time, at the same price as last time, but at a slightly lower price than the people next to her.
This time, two industrial tickets were also exchanged.
In any case, in this era, some people were suffering from drought while others were suffering from floods. Wealthy families could even take out industrial ration coupons at will.
Lin Qingyu had been worried for a long time, wondering if someone would cause her trouble. But no one bothered her until she finished paying the management fee and left.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief, then checked the time and saw it was not yet eleven o'clock, so she quickly went to the department store to buy a few pieces of fabric.
It was Gu Shi who gave her the tickets and money.
At that time, Gu Shi refused to let Lin Qingyu spend his own money and insisted on giving her the things.
She then rushed back to the state-run hotel before midnight, where Gu Shi and Zhao Xiaobao were waiting for her.
"I'm late, have you been waiting long!"
She carried a small basket on her back and walked up to the two of them, slightly out of breath.
Lin Qingyu always wore her hair in a braid, which was swung behind her head, making her look very simple.
Gu Shi pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere and handed it to her.
"It's not too late, now's the perfect time. You can order!"
Zhao Xiaobao chimed in, "It's not late at all, Auntie! We just arrived too!"
Lin Qingyu smiled, and finally, unable to refuse, ordered two simple stir-fried dishes: stir-fried bean sprouts and stir-fried shredded potatoes.
Seeing that she had ordered those two dishes, Gu Shi then ordered a braised pork belly.
Lin Qingyu didn't even have time to stop them. It was rare for someone to order a meat dish at the restaurant, so of course they wouldn't give her a chance to back out.
While waiting for the food to be served, Gu Shi said to Lin Qingyu, "Xiaoyu, you don't need to always try to save me money. Buy whatever you want!"
"But even the most money will eventually run out!"
Lin Qingyu has never handled a lot of money before, so she always feels unsure when spending it.
Gu Shi patiently corrected her: "Isn't the point of making money to spend it? Just spend it without worry, you can make more later."
Lin Qingyu verbally agreed, but in her heart she was thinking about how to sell her things in the county town next time.
She didn't notice that Gu Shi's gaze towards her was a little strange.
She seemed to be scrutinizing something, but the moment Lin Qingyu looked up, she reverted to her usual self.
After they finished eating, they got into the oxcart and went home.
Gu Shi even bought an ice pop for Lin Qingyu and Zhao Xiaobao each.
Seeing that Gu Shi wasn't planning to buy one for himself, Lin Qingyu gave him one as well.
Popsicles from that era were just simple popsicles, with a hint of sweetness, and very natural.
After returning home, Zhao Xiaobao squatted in the yard and played with Da Huang.
Gu Shi and Lin Qingyu were tidying up at home. Lin Qingyu measured Gu Shi's height and other measurements, preparing to make clothes for him.
"I'll buy you a sewing machine in a few days, then you can stay home and make clothes without worry!"
Gu Shi raised his arm, turned his back to Lin Qingyu, and spoke calmly.
Lin Qingyu exclaimed "Ah!" and almost dropped the tape measure in her hand.
"Why do you need to buy a sewing machine? I can borrow one..."
"You don't need to borrow any. I have the tickets. Just stay home and do your work. I don't feel comfortable letting you go out."
Gu Shi turned around, his eyes fixed on Lin Qingyu.
Whether it was her imagination or not, Lin Qingyu felt that Gu Shi's gaze towards her was a little strange.
"I……"
"It's settled then. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative in a few days."
Before Lin Qingyu could react after Gu Shi finished speaking, he continued.
"If you want to go to the county town anytime in the future, just call me."
