Chapter 3
Zhou Jiani's heart beat faster. To confirm this idea, she clicked on her bank card and was surprised to see the familiar last digit and the familiar deposit amount.
Bank card: 46000.00 (this amount can only be transferred to 'My Change')
More than 40,000 yuan is all her property, in addition to the annual land contract subsidy from the village, there is also the money she earned from doing landscaping work with others.
In the past, her son and daughter-in-law were still thinking about the money she had, but she said it was all spent. Facing their suspicious looks, she said with confidence: After so many years of hard life, she wanted to enjoy herself and live happily when she was old. She would spend whatever she had and no one should worry about it.
He emptied his family savings to buy them a house, but he still wanted the pocket money she gave him. He was really blind.
The bank card was confirmed, and the change balance was also confirmed to be the same as what she had put in WeChat. It was all her hard-earned money. Oh, and there was also today's red envelope income, which was more than six yuan.
Zhou Jiani pressed her chest, let out a deep breath, and finally fixed her eyes on the "piggy bank".
There was no money in the piggy bank. Zhou Jiani stared at the 'cash deposit' next to it and paused for a moment, then boldly guessed its function - to deposit real money into the 'mobile phone'.
Sure enough, after being reborn, even my thinking process has been refined.
Press 'Deposit Cash', and the interface will quickly flash a progress bar of reading data, and then a default maximum recharge amount will pop up: 276.7.
“How did you get this number?”
Before she could figure it out, her palm vibrated and she quickly returned to the group buying group, clicked on the red envelope, and received 0.37.
However, the shock also shook her memory, and Zhou Jiani suddenly remembered what the 276.7 meant.
Before leaving, her parents gave her two hundred yuan, her grandmother gave her fifty yuan, and she also saved more than thirty yuan in pocket money. She spent some along the way and had more than two hundred yuan left.
More than two hundred yuan was a huge sum of money at that time, but she had quickly squandered most of it in her previous life.
At that time, she felt that there was not enough food and that it was all coarse grains. She was greedy, so no matter who in the team went to the commune or the county town, she would ask someone to bring snacks.
Liu Ailing criticized her for spending money recklessly, and then suggested that instead of buying snacks, it would be better to exchange eggs, chickens and meat with fellow villagers to improve her meals.
She also enthusiastically helped her run around and trade things with fellow villagers. She was also grateful for Liu Ailing's kindness to her, and gave her a share of the things she got in return.
Thinking of some details at this time, Zhou Jiani felt a little uncomfortable. She turned her head and glanced at Liu Ailing meaningfully.
She spent money, but it was Liu Ailing who lost her popularity.
Putting this aside, Liu Ailing ate and drank what she wanted, and criticized her for being too pampered, asking her to learn to eat coarse food like her fellow villagers.
Later, when she had spent all her money and could only eat coarse food, Liu Ailing also integrated into the community of her fellow villagers. Often, enthusiastic aunts and sisters would give her eggs and white flour buns, and occasionally invite her to their homes for a meal.
It seemed like... she didn't even get a sliver of eggshell.
"Oh!" Zhou Jiani laughed at herself, "I'm such a sucker."
The big money he had on him was sewn into his waistband, and he only had a little change in his pocket.
Touching the place where the money was sewn, Zhou Jiani felt sad. Her family was so good to her, but they were implicated by her in their previous life. She didn't know how her problems here were reported back to the provincial capital, affecting her parents' work.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jiani sniffed lightly. She couldn't go back now and could only wait until the New Year to go home to visit her relatives.
She kept 26.7 for emergencies and put the rest in a piggy bank. A number 250 appeared on the page.
It's also appropriate. Wasn't she an idiot in her previous life?
After exiting the service and clicking on 'Click me to start a group', she raised her eyebrows to find out that in addition to grabbing red envelopes, she could also start a group to sell goods.
It is a mandatory requirement to send red envelopes before starting a group. Each person can send a red envelope once a day and can start up to five groups. The minimum amount of the red envelope is three yuan, and there is no upper limit on the maximum amount.
The shelving function is also simple. Scan the goods and they will be automatically stored in the warehouse at the bottom right of the page. When operating, you can put them on the shelves from the warehouse, set your own prices, and automatically generate links.
Five or more items of the same item can be grouped together. Once someone successfully purchases and pays, the proceeds will automatically be deposited into the piggy bank.
"Oh, the money in my bank card can only be deposited into my change account for group purchases, but I can't withdraw it. Maybe God doesn't want my hard-earned money to go to waste, so this is an extra benefit!"
She feels that the greatest significance of this golden finger is in group sales.
There is no rush to sell goods, let’s study the purchase first. Zhou Jiani returned to the group and clicked on the latest group purchase link.
The black claw chicken has been sold out long ago, and the 0.37 income just now was the red envelope for the pure handmade pork meatballs.
She clicked on pay, and payment options popped up: pay with change and pay with a piggy bank.
The delivery method is also a bit peculiar: direct pickup and temporary storage.
Direct pickup: goods appear in seconds.
Temporary storage: The goods will be automatically transferred to the purchase shelf in the warehouse. It is free of charge within 24 hours. After 24 hours, a storage fee of one cent will be charged per item per day. If the goods are not withdrawn within seven days, they will be automatically destroyed and the money will not be refunded.
Only one cent a day, it’s a good deal, and why would you need to eat a pound of pork meatballs for seven days?
After studying the rules, I chose to pay with change. When I reached the last step, a prompt suddenly popped up on the interface: the pork balls were sold out!
As a result of this hesitation, the pork meatballs flew away.
"Business is pretty good!" Zhou Jiani smiled.
I returned to the group and found that the group leader who had just sold fresh ribs had opened a new group to sell yam, but he didn't send out red envelopes this time.
At this time, Uncle Zhang asked everyone to get in the car. Zhou Jiani closed her hands and waited until everyone was settled before watching.
As soon as she climbed up and sat firmly, Liu Ailing turned around and asked her with concern: "Jiani, why didn't you come with us just now? You ignored us when I called you. Are you angry?"
Zhou Jiani was so engrossed in studying the functions of her "mobile phone" that she unknowingly distanced herself from them and didn't hear Liu Ailing calling her.
The other educated youth who had watched her act up suddenly became nervous, worried that she would have another attack in just a few minutes.
If this is true, Liu Ailing's question at this moment is the fuse, and Zhou Jiani will definitely explode.
But now she just smiled and said, "Really? I was thinking about something just now and didn't hear it."
Is that it?
Liu Ailing waited and waited but she didn't see any subsequent outburst. She looked carefully twice before she was sure that Zhou Jiani really didn't seem angry, let alone jumping up and down in anger.
Sun Ping and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Zhou Jiani's tantrum wouldn't cause any trouble to them, it was still annoying to watch.
Now she is quiet and everyone is relaxed.
The car entered the territory of Qianjin Brigade. There were more fields of crops on both sides of the road, and the members were busy harvesting the ripe corn in the fields.
Seeing Uncle Zhang and his ox cart, someone shouted, urging them to send the people over and quickly pull the corn.
The educated youth on the train watched the scene ahead, their eyes still gleaming with excitement. But Zhou Jiani knew that after a few days, the light would fade, leaving only complaints and quiet sobs at night.
The ox cart stopped at the entrance of the village. Uncle Zhang said, "Boys, take off your bags and wait here. The captain will come over to make arrangements. Old Liu and I have to go pull the sticks."
The car behind also stopped, and Uncle Liu, who was driving the car, also arranged for the male educated youth to get off the car and unload their luggage.
Nothing is more important than hauling food.
This arrangement overlapped with their past life's trajectory. Actually, all the educated youth had some complaints in their hearts, but they were smart enough not to say anything. Only Zhou Jiani jumped out with dissatisfaction at the time. She felt that the brigade did not value them and did not arrange for people to connect with them in advance. She also complained that the ground was covered with dirt and there was no place to put their luggage. She complained...
No matter how much she complains about this or that, there is nothing she can't find fault with.
Liu Ailing moved quickly, nimbly taking down her luggage and placing it on the ground beside her with a positive attitude. Then she turned to help Zhou Jiani and said loudly, "Jiani, put your bag on top of mine. Your bedsheets are new, don't let them get dirty with dirt."
A warm-hearted look.
The two uncles driving the cart cast loving glances at Liu Ailing. They both thought that this girl was a good girl, honest and kind-hearted, and someone who could share the same pot with them, the peasants. She was not as spoiled as other city kids.
"Comrade Ailing, you are so nice." Sun Ping, who was getting off the car, also exclaimed in admiration.
Zhou Jiani glanced at Liu Ailing and felt something strange in her heart. She also started to look at Liu Ailing with tinted glasses.
Everyone wrapped their bedding in sheets and laid them on the dirt floor, which was indeed unsuitable for laying. But before that, they had already been on the train all the way, and after getting off the train, they had left their bedding on the platform, and then they took the oxcart, so they had to wash it before they could use it.
But Liu Ailing made perfect use of it, giving people the preconceived impression that she was not afraid of dirt and was down-to-earth.
At the same time, Zhou Jiani's calm demeanor gives people the impression of being delicate and disgusted with dirt.
It seems like they are openly helping but secretly stepping down.
In an instant, Zhou Jiani figured out the key to this, as if she had suddenly realized something. She felt that her defeat in her previous life was not unfair. No, it was still unfair. Why? Why did Liu Ailing have to step on her to get to the top?
Taking a deep breath and dodging Liu Ailing's outstretched hand, Zhou Jiani picked up the luggage and placed it on the ground beside her. She then turned to get her handbag and said with a smile, "I appreciate Comrade Ailing's kindness. We are all here to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. There is no need to be so pretentious. Just put it on the ground."
As if she didn't expect to be rejected again, Liu Ailing's face looked a little unnatural. She pursed her lips and said nothing more.
