Besides the 50,000 yuan he earned from selling watches, he also won over 10,000 yuan at the casino. After deducting the 10,000 yuan he spent on purchasing goods, he still has a considerable amount of money left.
Taking back 50,000 yuan would make you an overnight millionaire; you wouldn't need to work anymore.
However, Xu Xiangyang did not have such thoughts. If he wanted to make a living in a chaotic world, how could he not have a proper job?
Moreover, he needs a proper job that can put his elderly parents at home at ease and give him the opportunity to bring them gifts.
Xu Xiangyang had a lot on his mind. This trip to Hong Kong was also for the sake of securing his future for the next ten years, so that he wouldn't have to worry about money.
I don't need too much money, just enough to get by.
Once the policies improve, he can go into business. Wouldn't that be great?
The next morning, Xu Xiangyang went shopping and exchanged all the money he had for ten-yuan notes.
The fees here are very high. Just considering the conversion of 45,000, you'll have to pay an extra 200 yuan.
It has to be said that this stuff makes money really fast, but if you exchange it at a bank, the rate will definitely be lower. However, Xu Xiangyang was afraid that the bank would check his identity, so he went to a personal money exchange agency.
Carrying the warm feeling of unity, Xu Xiangyang stayed until evening before heading to the port.
This isn't a mountain town, so security is quite tight, mainly to prevent illegal border crossings.
Unfortunately, people aren't stupid these days. Most of them smuggle themselves from the mainland to Hong Kong, and it's rare to see people from Hong Kong smuggling themselves to the mainland.
Seeing that the shift changers hadn't returned yet, he quickly slipped inside.
There were many ships at the port, so he had to search for them one by one.
Unfortunately, after searching for more than half an hour, we still couldn't find a boat to the mountain town.
But time waits for no one, so he had to board a ship heading south first and figure out a way to get home later.
Fortunately, the ship is not far from the Northeast and very close to Haicheng. If we travel overnight, we can probably get home in three to five days.
Xu Xiangyang found a storage room and entered the space, then began to organize the things in the space.
Actually, most of the space contains a lot of things, but very little of it is actually usable.
Take household appliances, for example. Things like bicycles and cosmetics are not suitable for this era.
The things I bought this time are different; they're all readily available, so I can use them freely and don't have to worry about selling them later.
He sorted out the things he bought, mainly food and household items, which he planned to take home.
The rest of the clothes can be sold on the black market, and some can be kept for your family.
Of course, I can't go selling things myself; I'll have to discuss the next steps when I get back.
Money is something that people say is enough to spend, but who would complain about having too much money in their pocket? They wish they could spend it all.
So Xu Xiangyang just didn't want to sell things himself; he wanted to find partners.
The return journey took three days and three nights, and Xu Xiangyang felt like he was about to suffocate.
The main problem is that there aren't many entertainment facilities in the space. It would be nice if there was a piece of land to farm or something.
Think about those novels from later generations, with their stories of tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in special spaces, or the inheritance of traditional medicine...
He just has some old, broken shipping containers, and most of the things inside are unusable. What a waste!
It's not bad, though. If it weren't for these things, he might have gone back to farming after being fired from the grain depot.
It's not the best, but it's better than the worst.
Xu Xiangyang observed that the boat outside had stopped rocking, so he got up and went outside.
By the time he left the port, the sun had already set.
He was almost discovered by the people at the door. He didn't have any identification on him, and if he had been caught, he would have been treated as a hooligan.
If Xu Xiangyang is really arrested, he will lose his job, and no one can protect him.
That's how it is now. Without a letter of introduction or proof of identity, they'll be arrested.
Xu Xiangyang randomly picked a state-run restaurant, ate dinner, and prepared to travel that night.
There were many cars in the space, and he chose the one he had used last time, so he could drive it out anywhere.
It took five hours to drive from here to Haicheng, and then from Haicheng it took three days and three nights to finally arrive in the new city in the middle of the night.
Xu Xiangyang drove straight back to the brigade. It was still early, so he went into the space to sleep first and went home when it got light.
With ten days left in his month-long vacation, he had plenty of time to wander around.
I estimate that after he starts working, he'll have to go on business trips, and then he'll be busy again.
The next morning around 8 a.m., Xu Xiangyang got up, ate some food, and went home.
When he got home, he found the door locked, guessing that the couple had gone to the village committee.
But when they arrived at the brigade headquarters, they learned that the couple had gone back to the wife's parents' home.
Seeing that he was carrying a lot of things, Liu Hai said, "Why don't you leave the things at the brigade headquarters first? Go find them."
Xu Xiangyang shook his head. It had been a long time since he had visited his grandfather, so this was a good opportunity.
I originally planned to stay at home for two days before going, since I hadn't had time before and didn't even have time to visit friends and relatives even on my day off.
Actually, he had wanted to go for a long time, but he didn't have the time. Also, Wang Xiumin had mentioned before that some of the things he brought back had been taken to his maternal grandfather's house.
Xu Xiangyang greeted Liu Hai, "Uncle Liu, I'm leaving now. I'm taking the things to my maternal grandfather's house. You go ahead with your work."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Liu Hai watched his retreating figure and sighed. If only his daughter were prettier, she could have been a perfect match for Xu Xiangyang.
Look at how good their job is and how capable they are; it's so rare to find someone like that.
However, he was also self-aware. His daughter, like his son, was short and not particularly good-looking. People who had been to the city would not be interested in his daughter.
It's best to maintain good relations so that there will be benefits in the future; I don't want to think about anything else.
Xu Xiangyang, of course, had no idea what the brigade leader was thinking. He rode his bicycle to the next brigade, where Wang Zhongshan's house was in complete chaos.
He parked his bicycle in the yard and went inside.
"Xiangyang? Why are you back!" Xu Guangtian was squatting by the stove, tending the fire, when he looked up and saw him.
Xu Xiangyang said, "I just got back. You weren't home. The brigade leader said you came here."
Xu Guangtian sighed, stood up and said, "Your grandpa fell and scraped his skin, but it's nothing serious. Come inside and take a look."
The old man liked this grandson, and of course, the father knew that.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and went into the house. Wang Xiumin and her grandmother were sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), while Wang Zhongshan lay on the kang with his eyes closed.
"Mom, Grandma, how is Grandpa?" he asked in a low voice, noticing a little girl, about ten years old, sitting by the kang (a heated brick bed).
When Wang Xiumin saw her son return, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing serious, he just fell and the doctor said it was a superficial injury."
Although my son isn't a doctor, seeing him brings me inexplicable peace of mind.
