It's already 1973, and she has five more years to work hard and earn money. Her goal is to save over 30,000 yuan by the time she finishes the college entrance exam. She plans to set aside 10,000 yuan to mooch off Cheng Ke and Liu Jing, and another 10,000 yuan to mooch off Liu Jing and Xiao Hongmei. Although none of them lack capital, she's confident that with enough money, she can eventually find a way to mooch off them. She also plans to set aside another 10,000 yuan to buy property. With her mother's financial backing, she's confident she won't lose money. It would be foolish not to use such a powerful asset. If she works hard now, she can sit back and collect money later.
Time flies when you're focused on making money, and this year the triplets finally got into school.
The family took the three children's first day of school very seriously, getting up very early in the morning. Liu Yun and Yu Qian even took leave from school. Although their parents thought it was a bit of an exaggeration, they didn't say anything.
For Liu Yun, taking a day off and losing a day's wages is nothing. She doesn't lack that money. She believes that children should have the sense of ritual they deserve, something she has never experienced, so she doesn't want to miss out on having children.
She never thought she would have children in her past life, but now that she does, she can't let her children miss out on the things she never had.
The three children were enrolled in the school next to the police station where their father used to work. In terms of safety, it was undoubtedly the safest place. Moreover, it was the school that their mother strongly recommended. Liu Yun made the decision without hesitation. With their father's connections, the three children were able to enroll easily.
The reason why Yu's mother strongly recommended this school was because after the college entrance examination was reinstated, the school there became a key municipal high school and gradually became the best school in the city. This school had both junior and senior high school education. Although that was in the future, the school's educational resources were indeed better than other places at the moment.
Although the school conditions there were better, it was farther from where they lived than the primary school near the machine factory.
So Yu's parents took over the task of taking the triplets to school. Every day after breakfast, they would take a half-hour bus ride there. After dropping off the triplets, Yu's parents would chat with their old neighbors at the old house and take care of the kids. Especially Yu's father, whose old comrades had also retired, spent his days playing chess or fishing together, which was much more enjoyable than when he was with Liu Yun and the others.
Yu Zhang, Yu Shan, Yu Huan, and Yu Ke all have jobs, and it's not very convenient for them to live here, so they've all moved out to live in dormitories. So, when Yu's parents come over to the old house, there's no one to live there anymore. Now that the triplets are in school, they come over almost every day, and since it's rainy in the south, it's not very convenient to do that every day. So, Yu's mother decided to go back to live there. Now that there are more rooms there, Yu Qianhe simply rented a house with his brothers and only goes back to the riverside to live when it's too hot.
It's the season for making preserved vegetables again. I made too few last year, and I was originally planning to make more so that I could send some to Li Juan and the others earlier this year. But in the end, we almost ran out.
The main reason is that most of the houses in the city are apartment buildings, and few people burn firewood, so it's not easy to make cured meat. Last year, the house was full of cured vegetables. Liu's mother sent some, Liu Jing took some, Cheng Ke took some, and the old comrades who came to pay New Year's visits to Yu's father also liked to send some. Later, they brought a lot of things to exchange. After so many years of friendship with Yu's father, we couldn't be so reluctant to give away even a little bit. In the end, if Liu Yun hadn't secretly hidden some to send to Li Juan, there wouldn't have been any left.
So they decided to do more this year, and the group returned to their courtyard by the river in the last few days.
For the first batch, Liu Yun prepared twenty rabbits, more than twenty fish, and three buckets of small crucian carp. The four of them locked themselves in the yard and killed them for a whole day.
Since Cheng Ke had already moved out and had her own small courtyard, Liu Yun brought her ten ducks, six chickens, and fifteen rabbits, and they were all smoked.
This made Liu Jing extremely envious. However, although she could afford to buy a small courtyard, she was too busy and couldn't bear to leave her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law only had one son and would definitely not let them live outside.
“Your rented courtyard is quite nice, why don’t you buy it? Although the location is rather remote and it’s inconvenient to live there, it would be so convenient for you to store things and make cured meat, wouldn’t it? Besides, you’re not short of a few hundred dollars. A few hundred dollars can buy so much convenience!”
Hearing Liu Yun say this, Liu Jing immediately realized, "Oh right! Why didn't I think of that before! I just thought that the area over there was mostly in the mountains, so it wouldn't be worth buying it. I never thought of coming here. I'll talk to your brother-in-law when I get back and suggest we just buy it. Anyway, the annual rent is several tens of yuan! Ten years' rent can buy it, and I don't know how much I can earn with it in ten years. So, can you contact them and order more chickens and ducks for me? I want to get more this year. Cured meat sells very well too."
These were all minor issues for Liu Yun, but there were simply too many rabbits. Even though she tried her best to sell them, the year she was pregnant with twins had given her an extremely high starting point. In the past year or so, although she hadn't sold any more, she hadn't sold any fewer either. At this rate, she was even planning to go sell rabbits in that area after university started, and then have a five-yuan clearance sale. "Okay, but there should be the most rabbits. I heard them say last time that they had a large number of baby rabbits recently and wanted to get rid of a batch of grown rabbits. How many do you want?"
Liu Jing, of course, wouldn't let the opportunity pass by. Although she had eaten quite a few rabbits over the years, it was still meat! Who gets tired of eating meat? "Yes, give me a hundred. Do you have any? I'll make half into cured meat and sell the other half. How many people have you taken from? They're really bold, feeding so many. Look how much you've sold in the last two years!"
