Chapter 8 Chapter 8 I'll wait for you to come back
Yang Dai took out the golden melon seeds she had prepared and said, "These should be able to be exchanged for a lot of things on the black market."
"Give me the thing and I'll exchange it on the black market." Han Lin's brows were still furrowed, and his tone was full of disapproval.
Yang Dai thought of the trick she used this morning - crying.
It’s a pity that I’m not prepared now and I can’t shed tears.
And according to what I remember, tears are a powerful weapon if used well. If you use tears to solve problems anytime and anywhere, then tears are worthless.
"The black market is too dangerous. There are always people patrolling it." Han Lin's understanding of the black market comes from the memories in his body.
In the past, when Han Lin was idle and wanted to eat well, he often went to the black market. Before marriage, Han Lin's money basically came from the black market.
But it was hard to make money in the black market. Han Lin was almost caught by patrolmen several times. After he had some money in his hand, which was enough for him to lie down and eat and drink, Han Lin stopped going there.
When the family split up and built a house some time ago, Han Lin spent all the money he had saved with great effort on bricks, and now he can't find a penny left.
Moreover, Prince Han Lin is not like Yang Dai, who has his own warehouse and can take things at will. If he has no money, he really has no money.
"Then I will go to the commune with you. I won't go to the black market and wait for you outside. I just want to see if there is anything different." Yang Dai wanted to go to the commune to take a look. Relying only on the memory of her original body, some things were still too unfamiliar to Yang Dai.
"Wait two more days. The black market is only open on Fridays, and today is only the twelfth." Han Lin was reluctant, but after Yang Dai said this, he couldn't refuse.
In his mind, he was wondering where he could exchange some tickets, no matter if they were grain tickets, oil tickets or cloth tickets, as long as they were enough for buying things. Then he would let Yang Dai take the tickets to the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune, and he would go to the black market to do things.
"I went to the Dian Dian Primary School to register today. I want to be a teacher." Yang Dai changed the subject and talked about her schedule for the day.
"One teacher teaches two classes, and school ends at three in the afternoon." This is what Yang Dai is most satisfied with, as the relaxing time is short.
"You will definitely be fine." Han Lin said very confidently. Han Lin used to go to elementary school in the brigade primary school.
The elementary school teacher who taught him was almost semi-literate. He was learning while teaching them. Sometimes he would come across words he didn't know while teaching.
Yang Dai’s level is much better than that teacher back then, so there will definitely be no problem.
Yang Dai had a smile on her face and she thought it was okay.
Although she didn't see how many points she got on the two tests when she left school today, she felt pretty good about herself.
And mainly because there are fewer competitors.
Although the five educated youths I met today all graduated from high school, they were also determined to get the position of primary school teacher.
But Yang Dai has carefully studied the memories of the educated youth in Huangzhuang Brigade.
There was an invisible boundary between the educated youth and the team members. There was not much communication at all, and there was a tendency to look down on each other.
The team members felt that the educated youth from the city were here to cause trouble. They couldn't do anything right, had bad tempers, and always complained about unfairness.
The educated youth felt that the team members were unreasonable, united and disliked them.
This kind of mutual impression and prejudice cannot be broken in a day or two. The brigade primary school prefers its own people rather than educated youth.
Yang Dai knew that she had a bad reputation in the brigade, but no matter how bad her reputation was, she was still one of them. Under the same conditions, the school would give priority to her rather than the educated youth.
Thinking of this, Yang Dai picked up the textbook again and continued reading.
She has read these books many times since she brought them back, so she has been able to handle both Chinese and math tests with ease over the past few years. She will have a trial lecture in two days, so Yang Dai naturally has to work hard.
Han Lin cleaned up the pots and pans and prepared to go to work again.
"When I come back in the evening, let's go to the old house for dinner together." Han Lin reminded her worriedly before leaving, wondering if he could save money to buy a coal stove on the black market.
Not having to light a fire every day to cook saves a lot of trouble. Occasionally, if Yang Dai is alone at home, she can still have some hot meals.
But now this is just a plan. He has no money, so he can't even afford to buy coal, let alone a coal stove.
As Han Lin walked, he was thinking about how to make money quickly. He couldn't really rely on Yang Dai to support him with the things in the warehouse. He couldn't get over this hurdle.
Yang Dai studied hard all afternoon, and only went to the kitchen to get some sweet potatoes and some steamed buns after Han Lin washed up, ready to go back and meet Han's parents.
Han Lin took the thing from Yang Dai's hand, opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again and just walked away.
On the other side, Han's mother had already prepared the meal, and the Han family had also returned.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law." When entering the door, Yang Dai happened to meet two sisters-in-law carrying a bucket of water out, and greeted them.
Sister-in-law Sun Qiaoyun disliked both Han Lin and Yang Dai very much. When she saw them come in, she subconsciously wanted to roll her eyes, but when her eyes fell on the things in Yang Dai's hands, she retracted her eyes and said "hmm" lightly.
Second sister-in-law Huang Fengxia still had a smile on her face, "Come in quickly, Dad and Mom are waiting."
The four people staggered their bodies, one facing outwards and one facing inwards.
Yang Dai could still hear the voices of her two sisters-in-law talking.
Sun Qiaoyun's tone was filled with satisfaction. "The third son's wife is better than the third son. At least she knows about the division of the family business and needs to bring food with her when she comes back for dinner."
"After all, the couple are both high school students." Huang Fengxia couldn't hide the envy in her tone.
"What's the point of going to high school? We are still a couple..." Sun Qiaoyun looked down on both husband and wife, and always hated Han Lin, her tone full of disdain.
Yang Dai pretended not to hear the muttering behind her, walked in, put her things down and washed her hands.
After walking into the main room and looking at the electric light in the room, she suddenly remembered one thing - after the family split up, there was no electricity in their house.
Electric lights are a rare item for Yang Dai. Although one electric light is not enough to brighten the entire room, it is much more convenient than candles and is very popular with Yang Dai.
It’s a pity that the electricity bill is very expensive, and Han’s mother has always been reluctant to let Yang Dai turn on the lights. During the few days she has lived at home, she can only enjoy the sight of electric lights before going to bed.
Yang Dai hurriedly moved into the house yesterday and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. She didn't think about the electric light, but now that she saw it, her eyes were full of desire.
Han Lin saw through Yang Dai's eyes, and her thoughts on how to make money became even more obvious, and her fingers moved involuntarily.
"Third brother, just work hard these few days, and then you can go to the county town with me in a few days." After the meal, Han's father talked about business with Han Lin.
"Every year at this time, the Housing Management Department inspects the houses. Come with me so we can get to know them."
As soon as Han's father finished speaking, sister-in-law Sun Qiaoyun wanted to speak, but was glared at by brother Han Jing. She could only lower her head reluctantly and pretend to eat with a dissatisfied look on her lips.
Yang Dai could clearly see everyone's expressions, but she pretended not to see them, thinking about her trial class as a teacher.
On the other side, Han's mother grabbed Yang Dai's hand and whispered, "I've already made arrangements with the team leader today. You'll still be doing the work of collecting pig grass, but you can't just quit halfway."
There was a hint of complaint in Han's mother's tone.
Han Jiazhuang has a lot of labor and a lot of work points. A few years ago, Han's mother stopped working and only took care of the family's private plot of land and a few chickens and ducks.
After feeding the chickens and ducks this morning, I was worried about Han Lin and Yang Dai, so I went to see them.
Han Lin is fine. Although he is a bit sloppy in his work, he is a very honest person.
Hoeing the fields was not something Han's mother could do, so she thought about going to the wheat field to see Yang Dai and help her pull weeds to earn a few more work points.
As I just arrived at the site and was looking for someone, the scorer came over and said that Yang Dai had already left.
Looking at the lonely line on the score sheet, Han's mother almost chased Yang Dai home and yelled at her.
"You've done this job before, even though it pays few points, it's less work. You should do it first," Han's mother said earnestly. "I'll go home and call you tomorrow morning so I can go to work with you."
Han's mother planned to supervise Yang Dai carefully for two days. She couldn't just stand there and get one work point a day, which was not embarrassing enough.
Yang Dai's mind was on her elementary school teacher, but since things had not been finalized yet, she couldn't say it out loud.
"Don't worry, Mom. Don't worry about us."
On the other side, Han's father finished talking to Han Lin. It was getting late, and the couple prepared to leave.
Han's mother put the family's flashlight into Han Lin's hand and said, "It's dark on the road, you guys take it."
"Don't worry, our house will have electricity soon." After saying goodbye to Han's parents, Han Lin turned on the flashlight and suddenly said this.
He saw everything Yang Dai did just now clearly. When she left and said goodbye, she looked at the light reluctantly, and Han Lin couldn't help but make such a promise.
"We are husband and wife, I trust you, but there's no need to rush. There are only a few families in our brigade who have access to electricity."
Electricity is expensive. If you want to connect to the power grid, you have to hire an electrician and buy wires and light bulbs. It costs money everywhere. Except for a few families in Huangzhuang Brigade who are better off, few families are willing to connect to the power grid.
Even though electricity is available, few households are willing to use it.
But the more Yang Dai said this, the more anxious Han Lin became.
The two walked home and watched Yang Dai come in and light the candles.
Han Lin stopped and said, "You go to sleep first. I'm going to the mountain. You don't have to hold the door open for me."
"It's so late. Even if you have something to do, go another day." Yang Dai disagreed with Han Lin's idea and reached out to pull Han Lin into the room.
"There are many wild animals in the mountains. Let's dig a trap on the mountain now. We can see prey early tomorrow morning." Han Lin has already prepared to hunt more prey so that he and Yang Dai can have more food. The rest can be exchanged for money on the black market.
Seeing Han Lin's determination, Yang Dai stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get something for you."
"This bow was once used by my grandfather, and the knife was specially found by my father. And this axe is also made of fine black iron. Which one do you want to use?"
After that, Yang Dai took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Han Lin, "Be careful not to get hurt, I'll wait for you to come back."
