Chapter 6: Empty Your House



The Song family didn't have many valuable things on the surface. Apart from some pots, pans, rice, flour, grain, oil, thermos bottles, and things like large wardrobes and cupboards.

But her parents don't like cleanliness, and both the bed and the cabinets are extremely dirty.

She used to clean up the house when she was at home, but when she was not home, the house became a mess. Every time she came back, it would take her a whole day or two to clean up.

Looking at the kitchen, it was also greasy and there was no place to step.

Song Nanting originally wanted to clear them all out, but seeing the character of this person, she really couldn't bring herself to do it.

What if these junk make their house dirty?

But she didn't have much time. It would probably take her mother and her two brothers a while to finish the fight with Wei Dani, and she was afraid that her father would suddenly come back after finishing his night shift, so she had to find something valuable quickly.

The more evil a person is, the more he likes to be on guard against others.

Her mother and father hid all the valuables under a jar of pickled vegetables in the corner of the kitchen. She found out about this by chance in her previous life.

At this moment, she held her breath and moved out the jar of pickles. She saw a small opening at the bottom. She reached her hand in and took out a box the size of an adult's palm.

There was a lock on it. Song Nanting glanced at the garlic mortar, took it and smashed it a few times to open it.

The things inside were the property of the Song family over the years. A piece of blue cloth wrapped a stack of money, all in the name of the Great Unity. But there was another cloth bag underneath the bag. When I opened it, I was stunned. There were five neatly arranged golden small yellow croakers! Weighing them, each one must be at least 100 grams.

Oh shit, how come there is something like this in my house?

Song Nanting didn't even have time to count how much money was in the room, and put it all into the space.

Put the pickle jar back in place and go to the inner room.

The inner room is where my parents live. It has a bed, a large wardrobe, and a square cupboard.

Song Nanting had seen her mother open this cabinet and take out biscuits and candies more than once. She always took only two biscuits and two candies, one for the older brother and one for the younger brother.

When Zhao Xiu'e met Song Nanting's eager eyes, she was always fierce, "Why should a little girl eat so well, God knows."

At that time, Song Nanting really didn't want to go to heaven. She was just curious about what biscuits and toffee tasted like.

Once, Zhao Xiu'e forgot to lock the cupboard, and Song Nanting took out a piece of candy from it. With trembling fingers, she peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy into her mouth impatiently, fearing that she would not be able to eat it if she was late.

The sweet candy with a milky flavor was almost the best thing she had ever eaten.

But her brother Song Nanshan saw it, and her mother chased her and beat her halfway across the street. A girl in her teens was almost beaten to death because of a piece of candy.

She exhaled, not wanting to think about it anymore. She looked at the cabinet in front of her and very quickly took out the tools from the toolbox in the space and pried it open.

This is my mother’s treasure box, which contains not only biscuits and candies, but also canned fruits.

There was an iron biscuit box on the lower level. When I opened it, it was full of bills, including food coupons, meat coupons... and some change.

Next to the tin box were two large rolls of cotton cloth, one white and one navy blue. It was obvious that they were brought back from the factory by the couple.

That’s great, I can keep it for making clothes later.

Everything that didn't belong to her before is hers now.

Song Nanting ate up everything in the room, not even leaving a single candy wrapper.

He opened the wardrobe again, covered his nose and took out a can, which contained a heavy gold chain and a gold bracelet.

Where does this thing come from in a dual-income family?

Without having time to think about it, Song Nanting simply threw it into the space.

Take it, take it all, it's all hers.

After Song Nanting took all these, she collected the thermoses, pots and pans, and then sold them second-hand. She also didn't keep any rice, flour, grain or oil, and took them all away.

In the living room, besides the dining table, there was also the bed where Song Nanfu and Song Nanshan slept, and an octagonal table between the beds. They rummaged here and there and took out all the private money that the two brothers had saved.

Song Nanting felt happier than ever before. Seeing that it was getting late, she didn't dare to stay any longer.

I found the household registration book at home and went out very quickly.

At this time, there were not many people in the compound because many people had gone to work.

Song Nanting wore a headscarf on her head, hid from people, looked around, and left the compound.

Go straight to the educated youth point.

It was just a coincidence that before the New Year, people were promoting the sending of educated youth to the countryside, but most people had to leave after the New Year, but Song Nanting couldn't wait any longer.

When she arrived at the Youth League Office and saw the director, Song Nanting handed him twenty yuan without saying a word.

"Director, I want to go to the countryside."

If you voluntarily offer to go to the countryside, what else does the director of the Youth League Office have to say? Not only will he not block it, he will even process it quickly, for fear that you will regret it.

Yes, it's been 1974 now. Since 1958, there have been more than ten years of experience of going to the countryside. Most people know that going to the countryside is not a good thing.

People from their county town usually go to the rural areas of the county when they go to the countryside.

But Song Nanting didn't do that. She directly wrote down the location of a rural area in Northeast China that was closest to Lu Jianan. "Director, I want to go here."

They charge money to get things done, and small things like the location of the village are easier to handle. And they also have quotas for other provinces to go to the countryside.

"Okay, just think it over by yourself." The director stamped his seal, finalizing the decision.
