In March, Song Jinxiu's salary was officially paid in new currency, from more than 300,000 yuan to more than 30 yuan.
Touching a few thin banknotes, everyone looked at each other in surprise. It was really a bit difficult to get used to it for a while!
Similarly, all store prices have been adjusted. An egg cost 1,500 yuan in the old currency, but only 1.5 yuan in the new currency.
Banks have also posted various notices, calling on people to exchange for new currency so that they no longer have to drag sacks to go shopping.
Song Jinxiu finally waited for this moment. As soon as she got off work, she took out the old coins, wrapped them into several packages and went to the bank to exchange them.
The imagined long queues did not appear, and the bank seemed a little deserted, with people queuing in groups of three or four. It seemed that everyone was still in a wait-and-see stage.
This was perfect. Song Jinxiu happily ran over to queue up. When it was her turn, she took out a thick stack of money, which surprised the counter staff.
"Hehehe... Don't be surprised, don't be surprised. There are many elderly people in the village and it is inconvenient for them to travel, so they asked me to change it for them." Song Jinxiu pointed to the cloth bag and said.
"Each bag contains a different amount of money. Comrade, remember to change them one by one for me and don't mix them up."
The person at the counter nodded after hearing this. This kind of situation is not uncommon, but it usually only happens to one or two companies. This is the first time they have seen more than ten companies like this.
It seems that the little girl is quite popular.
There were more than a dozen cloth bags, ranging in value from hundreds of thousands to over one million. When I went in, I almost wanted to carry them, but when I came out, I could just stuff them into my pockets.
Song Jinxiu felt so relieved!
Next, I had to go to several banks and exchange all my money.
Also remember to keep a few sets of each edition of RMB as souvenirs. When you take them out and look at them when you are old, they will be full of memories!
After running around to the exchange points in various towns for several days, I finally exchanged most of the money I had, leaving some for daily use.
Next, Song Jinxiu began her daily routine of persuading Aunt Cuihua to go out for a trip.
"Auntie, let's go together! I haven't been to an island yet, I haven't seen the sea yet, and I'm sure you haven't seen it either, right?
Think about the boundless ocean. Aren't you curious about what it looks like? "Song Jinxiu shook Aunt Cuihua.
Aunt Cuihua smiled but said nothing. She had seen this too many times.
What impressed me most at that time was not the vast ocean, but the wet and cold weather and my stomach that was singing a symphony.
"I'll discuss it with your uncle later." Aunt Cuihua said.
"There's no need to discuss this. If you open your mouth, do you think I'll say no? No way!
That’s settled then. Let’s discuss what to bring.
Dalinzi said that the conditions there are very difficult, and the housing and food may not be as good as ours.
Moreover, transportation is not convenient, and the sun on the island is definitely very strong, so we must protect our skin well and don't forget to wear long sleeves, long pants and a hat.
We can bring some food that can be stored for a long time, but since we won’t be gone for long, it doesn’t matter if we go hungry for a few days.
Besides, there are fruits, I can eat as much as I want." Song Jinxiu chirped beside her.
"Can you swim?" asked Aunt Cuihua.
"Ah, aren't we taking a boat? Do we have to swim over there?" Song Jinxiu asked in confusion.
"The island is surrounded by water. If you can't swim, there will be great risks. You have to learn to swim first so that you can deal with various emergencies." Aunt Cuihua said with a smile.
"Oh, theoretically I can, but I haven't been in the water for a long time!" I knew a little in my previous life, but not much, and I have never been in the water in this life.
"Find an opportunity and ask Xiaomei and the others to take you to a shallow pond to practice. Practice until you are familiar with it first." Aunt Cuihua said.
"Okay, no problem." Song Jinxiu replied. It's just learning to swim, no big deal. "Also, how many people should we go with this time?"
"It depends on your uncle's arrangements when the time comes." Aunt Cuihua said.
"I'm just afraid that those little brats will ask me for help through the back door. You know I'm soft-hearted. When the time comes, I'll let them all go to my uncle. Hehehehe!" Song Jinxiu laughed sinisterly.
"That's your problem. I don't care." Aunt Cuihua said with a smile.
"Or, I can let them find you. I believe they would rather find you." Song Jinxiu said with a smile.
"Hahaha! You mischievous ghost, you can't stand any loss." Aunt Cuihua tapped Song Jinxiu's forehead and said.
Song Jinxiu was preparing for the trip with great anticipation. She didn't know if there were many fruits available now. She slurped her saliva, looking forward to it so much!
Today was another Sunday, and everyone was having fun in the yard.
Suddenly, Lin Yun's scream was heard in the toilet, and everyone rushed to see.
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't come over. I'm fine. Is Teacher Song here?" Lin Yun said in the bathroom.
"I'm here, can you come out?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"Okay, okay, Teacher Song, please let them disperse. I'm fine." Lin Yun said.
"Okay, okay, go and have fun by yourselves!" Song Jinxiu began to drive people away.
After everyone had left, Lin Yun popped his head out, looked around, and then whispered, "Teacher Song, I'm bleeding."
Song Jinxiu was stunned for a moment before she reacted: "Wait for me for a moment."
After a while, Song Jinxiu took out a menstrual belt and menstrual paper and taught Lin Yun how to use them.
"My mother's doesn't seem to be like this." Lin Yun looked curiously. "Don't you need to add wood ash?"
"It's inconvenient to add wood ash when you're at school, right?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"Yeah, I'll go change first." After saying that, he went back in.
Song Jinxiu didn't want to compare whether menstrual paper or wood ash was more hygienic.
