1973 ended, and 1974 began.
The triplets will be able to start school this September. In fact, Liu Yun had planned to send the triplets to school last year, but most children in first grade are seven or eight years old. No one would want the three of them who were only four years old, so they could only go to daycare. They will be almost six years old in the second half of this year, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Since giving birth to her twins, Liu Yun has been like a lucky charm, always finding opportunities to make money. Liu Jing has been transferred to the publicity department and is not as busy as before. As her business reputation has improved and her network of contacts has expanded, the amount of goods that people are asking Liu Yun for has increased each time. She is still in contact with her old classmate who went to the Northwest! She sends things there every one or two months.
However, because she only does business with people she trusts, she has not been caught doing anything wrong so far, which makes her a true business genius.
Now she has developed quite a few downlines. Cheng Ke has become increasingly busy since Fu Yao bought a house and moved out. As her child has grown up, her mother-in-law has started to help her. However, even so, she is sometimes still too busy.
As for why Cheng Ke moved out, one reason was that it was inconvenient to earn money, and another reason was the Wang family and the Qin family.
Old Qin has never given up on treatment since his testicles were crushed. Now, that tenement is famous in the area, and not just in that area, but in the whole city. However, it's not a good reputation; it's famous for its stench. You can smell the urine every few days.
At first, the people in the compound, out of sympathy for Old Man Qin's broken testicles and fear of hurting his pride, didn't stop him from doing those messy things. But they didn't expect him to be so persistent. It's been years and he still hasn't given up. This has been tough on the unmarried young men in the compound. They're all of marriageable age. Originally, being a permanent employee at the machine factory was quite desirable, but as soon as they heard it was this notoriously smelly tenement, they all rejected him. This made the young men so angry that they would curse and swear at the Wang family's door every day. Every time they were rejected, they would break down and start arguing. This happened in both the front and back yards. Every few days, a chaotic scene would unfold, making quite a scene.
Not only that, Wang Jiabao stopped going out every day and stayed at home all day. The reason he stopped going out was because Hei Ge had been arrested again for speculation. Last time, he was only sent to a juvenile detention center because he was too young, but this time he was old enough and was sent directly to a farm for labor reform. Hei Ge was just a small leader, so he only got labor reform. His superiors were not so lucky and were directly executed.
Wang Jiabao was lucky this time and wasn't implicated; otherwise, he really wouldn't even know how he died. But this incident still frightened him, and he stayed home quietly for a while.
But his constant surveillance at home annoyed Cheng Ke to no end. Even though their clothes and fabrics were completely covered, their frequent comings and goings, coupled with Wang Jiabao's frequent dealings in the black market, inevitably drew attention. Furthermore, their two families had a history of conflict, and Wang Jiabao wasn't exactly a saint. They didn't dare take the risk. Now that Fu Yao had earned a considerable amount of money and Cheng Ke could support her family, they simply moved out to a small courtyard.
What they didn't know was that Wang Jiabao went to the countryside not long after they moved there.
Although Wang Jiabao was still a little under sixteen, his large family and tendency to cause trouble made him a target. Old Man Qin had offended almost all the unmarried young people in the compound, so he was secretly reported. With three children in the family, Wang Jiabao neither worked nor went to school, staying at home every day. He met the requirements for being sent to the countryside, so he was sent there.
I heard that when they received the notice that day, Old Mrs. Wang fainted from crying, and Wang Meifen also cried her eyes out.
As soon as Cheng Ke and the others moved out, someone else would move in. It is said that during that period, everyone was in a state of panic when it came to allocating housing. Although everyone wanted to get a house, they did not want that kind of house. Everyone had heard of the reputation of that courtyard. They would just watch the excitement from afar, but there was really no need for them to live there themselves.
Meanwhile, Liu Jing's orders from Liu Yun are increasing. Before, it was about ten rabbits every one or two weeks, but now it's not just rabbits, she's also ordering chickens, ducks and geese. Last year during the Spring Festival, she even ordered pigs and sheep from her. Where is she supposed to find pigs now?
But she still stocked up on a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, and eggs, especially rabbits, selling nearly a hundred of them, and Liu Yun made another fortune.
Liu Yun's wallet was getting fatter and fatter. She had 15,000 yuan in her official savings account alone, 4,000 yuan in her own small savings account, and more than 1,000 yuan in cash at home. To put that into perspective, the term "ten-thousand-yuan household" only existed in the 1980s.
It was still the 1970s. A semester's tuition for primary school was only 50 cents. At the supply and marketing cooperative, pork was 70 cents a pound, old hens were 1.4 yuan a pound, fish was 40 cents a pound, rice was 15 cents a pound, and vegetables were only 2 cents a pound. With these prices, even if their large family of nine ate lavish meals every day, they wouldn't spend more than 100 yuan a month. This shows how large their savings were; they could live on them for decades even without earning money.
And this is just money. Ever since she told Yu Qian that she liked gold and jade, he has added these two items to his gifts. She has no less than five pairs of jade bracelets alone.
Although it's said that gold is valuable in times of chaos and antiques are valuable in times of prosperity, it doesn't mean that gold is worthless in times of prosperity. Yu Qianhe isn't stupid. He has collected quite a lot of gold jewelry since Liu Yun mentioned it. However, there are risks in keeping it at home, so he didn't bring it back and hid it outside. But he still exchanged quite a lot of gold jewelry for Liu Yun.
This is the shortcoming of lacking communication and the two of them keeping secrets from each other. If Liu Yun knew that Yu Qian was secretly exchanging small yellow fish, she would definitely take out all the money in her savings account and give it to him to exchange, and she would also tell him not to be reluctant to part with it.
