Chapter 75 New Letter (Two in One)



After separating from the others, Yi Qingqing went straight to the state-owned store from the post office.

Generally, such large items should be sold in this place.

After entering the state-owned store, Yi Qingqing was dumbfounded. She couldn't find the counter selling televisions at all.

Aren’t there still black and white televisions in this era?

That's not right. When she was in Nanping County, she signed in at a state-owned store and got a TV. Then she went in to have a look. The one she signed in for was exactly the same as the one on display in the store. Both were Beijing brands.

She thought about it, found the counter clerk where she bought the bicycle last time, stuffed a few candies into her mouth, and said, "Sister, can I ask you something?"

The teller was very impressed by the female educated youth who ordered a Phoenix brand bicycle in just a few minutes. Naturally, he would not refuse the candy for free. "You can ask, but I can't guarantee that I know," he said, and put the candy in his pocket.

Yi Qingqing said nonchalantly, "Okay, I just want to ask you, why don't our state-owned stores sell televisions?"

"TVs? Look, they're usually sold over there," the clerk pointed to an empty counter next to the sewing machine counter and said, "But there's only one every two or three months. Sometimes there's none. If you want one, you have to order it in advance and get a number. And after you order it, you have to draw a number. If you don't get a number, you can't buy it. There is one this month, but it won't arrive until tomorrow."

"So the economic level of our Tieling County is pretty good. In my hometown, the TV counters in the state-owned stores have never been sold out!" Yi Qingqing said in surprise.

"Do you think there are so many rich people? This TV set not only costs a TV ticket, but also four or five hundred yuan. Most of them are bought collectively by units. This unit has one, and that unit also wants to get one. There are also private buyers, but not many. Even many units that want to buy one don't have the TV ticket!" said the teller.

"You are kidding. This person can't get the ticket, and neither can his unit?" Yi Qingqing looked unconvinced.

"How could I cheat you? You can go and ask around. Among the factories in the county, only the textile factory got the ticket, but they didn't win the lottery. I heard that if they don't win the lottery this time, they will send buyers to the provincial capital to buy it," the teller said confidently.

Seeing how concerned she was about the TV, I couldn't help but ask, "Why, do you still want to buy a TV?"

"That's impossible. I just haven't seen any televisions for sale in state-owned stores. I'm quite curious," Yi Qingqing said seriously, having a certain understanding of the preciousness of televisions.

After leaving the state-owned restaurant, Yi Qingqing lamented in her heart that the televisions in this state-owned store were in short supply, but it was really not easy to sell the television she had!

Originally, she wanted to go to the place where televisions were sold, look for people who had a need for televisions, find the target, and then strike with precision.

It turned out that reality was not what she expected.

Surprisingly, most of them were bought by work units. In this era when speculation is prohibited, it is extremely difficult to sell televisions to work units privately.

Individuals might try to find loopholes in the rules, but the possibility is very small in the workplace. Even if there is, she, as an outsider, would not be able to find the way.

Moreover, the supply of televisions in Tieling County is so insufficient that you have to draw lots every time and it takes several months to get one. It is estimated that the units and people who buy the televisions will almost all be famous. If a television that is not bought from a state-owned store suddenly appears, even a fool would know what is going on.

Do we really have to sell it on the black market?

The heroine hangs out in the black market. The book gives a relatively detailed description of the black market in Tieling County and even in Beijing City in the future. She knows where the black markets are and even the names of the black market bosses.

But there’s no point knowing all this. You don’t even know what the person looks like, so you don’t know where to start looking.

Selling to ordinary people who go to the black market is even less feasible.

People who go to the black market either need money to make money, or have money but no tickets and have to take the risk of going to the black market.

Television is different from food and it is not a necessity.

If even these basic-need bills are not enough, then it is unlikely that one will spend money to buy a TV.

She was carrying a TV to sell and was afraid that she would be targeted at any minute.

She doesn't have the supermarket space that the heroine can enter, it's too dangerous.

As expected, she is not the heroine, and she dares not sell the good things in her hands.

After much thought, it seems that only the purchasing agent from the textile factory could think of a solution.

She would wait and see what happens tomorrow when the TV arrives and the lottery starts. There was nothing she could do now.

Putting the TV matter aside for the time being, Yi Qingqing went to the post office as her second stop.

Once again, I received a letter and a brown paper bag.

Yi Qingqing pinched it and found that the envelope was quite thick. She sat on the steps in front of the post office and opened the letter. It actually consisted of two large sheets of paper!

"Qingqing, I have waited for a long time and finally received your reply. After reading your letter, I feel relieved. I know my daughter. Even if she made up a story, she would not write it in such detail. It seems that you have really adapted to the life in the country and learned a lot. My daughter is smart and capable!

But don't be too open-hearted to others just because you have a good relationship with them. Sometimes, people may appear friendly on the surface, but they have to keep a record of their actions in their hearts.

You have to remember that interest-based relationships are the most secure. As long as you can afford the profits, others will benefit from you. However, this kind of relationship is also the one that you should never take to heart, because if there is no profit, or if there are greater interests, the possibility of being betrayed is also very high.

So you can build good relationships with others, but you must be clear about what kind of relationship it is, and always leave yourself a way out in everything.

Especially, especially don't date in the countryside. If you really can't help it, don't have physical contact with anyone, let alone taste the forbidden fruit.

When you were still young, your dad and I didn't let your ears be dirty with those dirty things, but now, you have come to a strange world by yourself, and you have adapted very well. You are an adult now, and mom believes that you have the ability to distinguish some things.

Your brother couldn't help himself and did that thing with Liu Meili. Your brother is a good guy. He didn't like Liu Meili at that time, but he felt guilty about it and wanted to marry Liu Meili.

We couldn't persuade him. After all, we did ruin the girl's life. Besides, Liu Meili was humble and submissive at the time. She acted well. Even though her family was not well off, we accepted it.

Not long ago, your sister-in-law gave birth to a girl and named her Xiaohui.

I didn't even dislike it, but she started to dislike it first.

Liu Meili's family came to see her. I went out to buy vegetables and when I reached the gate of the staff quarters, I remembered that I didn't have much money left in my pocket, so I went back to get some. Unexpectedly, I heard them say that your brother didn't do that with her at all. It was she who got your brother a few glasses of wine and did it herself. She had already slept in the cornfield with other men before that.

Your brother was completely deceived. Our family doesn't dare to marry Liu Meili anymore. This incident finally made your brother toughen up and stand on the same front with us.

I am telling you this because I want to tell you that you should never trust a man casually. Any man who wants to cross the line before getting married will most likely not be responsible and is not a good match.

Fools like your brother are very rare. Most people are like Liu Meili's ex-boyfriend.

If you really can't control your heart and something happens, don't hide it from your family. Your family will definitely scold you, but they will still help you in the end!

You must remember at this moment that you should always put yourself first and not love others more than yourself.

Besides, I also sent you some of your favorite pickles, which should have arrived. I hid some food coupons in the depression at the bottom of the pickle bottle. You can spend them as you wish. They will expire in a month anyway, so don't be reluctant to use them.

Finally, your reply cannot be shorter than mine!"

Yi Qingqing: "..."

When she saw the last sentence, the feeling of being touched that had just been brewing in her mind suddenly disappeared.

As expected of her mother, she even curls up when writing a letter.

She was determined not to indulge in such behavior.

But Liu Meili actually cheated her brother to get to the top?

In the original owner's memory, her brother was determined to be with Liu Meili and was willing to kneel down and beg his parents.

Liu Meili was very obedient at that time and knew how to please the original owner.

The original owner was a cute little girl who was spoiled by her parents and always thought positively of others.

The original owner liked Liu Meili very much at the beginning, and even pleaded for her brother to marry Liu Meili.

Before Liu Meili became pregnant, her family lived in harmony, so the original owner thought that her parents also accepted Liu Meili. In addition, her brother was determined to marry Liu Meili, which made her think that Liu Meili was her brother's true love. Moreover, Liu Meili often carried her belly as if she had something to rely on, and she often took advantage of the original owner's parents not at home to instill in the original owner the idea that she would be an outsider after getting married, and the child in her belly was the real family member.

That's why when Liu Meili did something bad, she didn't dare tell her family and decided to find a way out on her own. After hearing people promote the greatness and beauty of educated youth going to the countryside, she signed up on a whim. Later, after she found out the truth, she tried to make herself sick to avoid going to the countryside.

After Yi Qingqing traveled through time, she found that the original owner had been brainwashed by Liu Meili. In fact, her status in the family was much higher than that of the pregnant Liu Meili. Although Yi's father seldom expressed his opinions, he and her mother were actually of the same mind. Her mother looked down on Liu Meili at all, and only cared about the baby in her belly for the time being.

I can only say that Yi's father and mother have raised their children to be too naive.

Yi Qingqing wholeheartedly agreed to drive Liu Meili away this time, and she would add insult to injury if she had the chance in the future. After all, a large part of the original owner's death was to be blamed on her.

She has always believed that every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, and that revenge should be sought on the right person.

It turned out that Liu Meili was pregnant. Regardless of how important the child was, at least the child was innocent, and they were afraid of hurting the child if they punished her.

Now the child is born, but it's a daughter. According to Liu Meili's point of view, she would not be able to stand up straight if she had a daughter, and even she herself doesn't like her. In the future, the child will have nothing to do with her, so it won't hinder her from taking revenge.

But even though Yi Qingqing thought so in her heart, she couldn't tell her mother directly.

She couldn't even say anything about the treatment of Liu Meili and her little niece named Xiaohui. They were her brother's wife and child. If she instigated them too directly, she was afraid that it would cause resentment in the future.

Especially the children. Although she had no ill will towards them, there was no telling what the children would be like in the future. If they developed a attachment to maternal love, they might even resent Yi Qingqing.

So she chose to say nothing in the letter and not express any opinion on the matter.

She can avenge herself personally when the time comes. Not only will it be more satisfying, but if she is hated for it in the future, she will not be wronged. It is very different from the feeling of being hated for just a few words.

So for the last half page of paper, Yi Qingqing just chatted a few words to make up the length, and said that she had written the letter in advance and did not bring any extra paper, so it was impossible for her to be longer than the letter her mother wrote. Two sheets of paper were her limit.

Then Yi Qingqing went to the post office and sent the letter and the dried rabbit together.

After coming out, she opened the package her mother sent. One bottle contained meat pickles and the other contained young ginger pickles.

I touched the bottom of the bottle and found something stuck to it.

Section 45

She took it off and saw that there were twenty kilograms of food coupons.

It seems that her mother is determined to support her. According to the original owner's appetite, these 20 kilograms of food coupons are enough for her to eat full every day for a month.

The food coupons had a short expiration date and could not be kept, so Yi Qingqing simply ran to the grain station store and exchanged them all for fine grains. She also signed in here. There was not much food left in her backpack, so she stocked up a little more.

[Sign in at the Tieling County Grain Station and receive 30 jin of fine grain]

In addition to this, she also signed in at the bank check-in location.

【Sign in at Tieling County Bank and get RMB 100】

This time I only got 100 yuan when I signed in at the bank, which was 50 yuan less than the last time I signed in.

It turns out that at some check-in places, even if you check in repeatedly, you may not get exactly the same thing. The quantity also fluctuates, so the type may also fluctuate.

The sign-in spot at the entrance of the scrap yard has also been reset successfully. You can go and try again. It would be great if you can sign out another set of huanghuali wood furniture.

Anyway, the workmanship is antique, but it is brand new and shows no signs of use.
