The village chief smacked him on the forehead again, "Look at my brain, I've forgotten the most important thing."
“An’an, we’ve heard about your refusal of the job at Haishi Steel Plant. You’re such a sincere child to us, so we can’t let you down. Starting this month, the village will pay you 20 yuan a month, and we’ll reimburse you for business trips and give you full work points.”
After saying that, I still felt a little embarrassed. If Gu Zhiqing had been willing to stay at the steel factory, doubling his salary would have been a piece of cake.
Moreover, there were various tickets and certificates, plus a respectable job. No matter how you look at it, Gu An'an was the one who suffered a loss.
They had considered commission-based pay, but that might be too unstable, so they decided to stick to a fixed salary.
In the village, you can exchange work points for grain, and vegetables are free. 20 yuan a month is more than enough to live on.
As for whether the village would suffer losses, the group had never considered such a possibility. This was just one place in Haishi; what if they went to several more cities?
Hehe, I don't dare to think about it, I absolutely don't dare to think about it.
Moreover, An'an also wants to participate in that trade fair to earn foreign exchange for the country and make money from foreigners. How exciting!
Do you suspect Gu An'an is exaggerating?
It does not exist.
An'an brought this up because she's confident she can make it happen.
Gu An'an saw the village chief frantically banging on her head, and was afraid that he would knock her stupid.
Honestly, she didn't expect them to bring this up suddenly. She quite liked business trips because she didn't have to be stuck in the fields and could get full work points. In each new place, she could also exchange the supplies in her space for money.
Honestly, she could earn more than that from a single trip to the black market, but none of those things made her happy. It's that satisfying feeling of doing something and having it remembered—a feeling you can't experience at all in the apocalypse.
It's quite novel.
"Thank you, Uncle."
She doesn't have the habit of turning away benefits; these are all things she deserves.
"No need to thank me. If it weren't for you, many families in our village would be struggling to put food on the table this year. Now, all they can think about is work, and they'll definitely have a good New Year."
The village party secretary chimed in, "Yes, our village is really going to get better now."
Gu An'an then shared the key points she had thought of with the group, and they all agreed with her.
Just then, the delivery truck arrived.
"Uncle, where's the cargo? Can we load it now?"
The village chief has been visiting the transport team frequently lately and has become quite familiar with the young men there.
"It's ready. I'll call someone over to move it. Come inside and have some water."
The items were all pre-packaged, and this time the packaging bags were labeled with the words, "Xiaowang Village Mountain Delicacies, the finest among mountain delicacies."
The village chief didn't care what the point of writing it down was; they just did what Gu An'an had instructed.
In less than half an hour, the two trucks were loaded with goods and drove off in a grand procession towards the edge of the village.
In the past, a huge crowd would have come to watch the spectacle, since this was an era when even a tractor could cause a sensation.
But from the time the goods were loaded until they left, apart from the village chief and a few people carrying the goods, not even a single child who came to watch the spectacle was seen.
"Their village is really strange; you can hardly see anyone there."
The young man in the passenger seat muttered something.
"What do you know? If other villages could make money like them, you wouldn't see anyone in any village. They'd be busy picking goods in the mountains."
"Brother, how much do you think they earn in a year?"
The man shook his head. "That's not our concern. We just need to make sure these goods are delivered safely."
He had heard from Dahai that Xiaowang Village's development was entirely due to a female educated youth.
It's a pity there was only one such capable female educated youth.
As soon as the goods were transported away, the village chief couldn't wait to go to the commune to have a heart-to-heart talk with the secretary.
Gu An'an had nothing to do, so she carried her basket and went up the mountain with the others. Zhou Yue didn't like doing field work because it was too tiring, but she especially liked going up the mountain. Since she and Zhao Hu started dating, she felt comfortable ordering people around. Every day she would go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and Zhao Hu would carry them back.
During the time Gu An'an was away, the two of them stockpiled a lot of goods, just waiting to exchange them for money.
"An'an, will you come pick vegetables with us?"
Gu An'an shook her head, "I haven't been up the mountain in a long time. I want to go for a walk inside. You guys go back first when you're done."
Zhou Yue had already learned from Zhao Hu that the two of them had taken down two wild boars together, and she had great confidence in Gu An'an's abilities. She waved her hand and said, "Then be careful."
They then buried themselves in hard work, and now it's the second crop of small vegetables, with the quantity decreasing drastically. They harvest as much as they can.
After picking the wild vegetables, the three of them came across a patch of hazel mushrooms and buried themselves in their work again, afraid that someone might suddenly appear and snatch them away from them.
Gu An'an headed straight into the deep mountains. The further she went, the fewer people she encountered, and the more abundant the supplies became.
No matter what it is, as long as she encounters it, she casually tosses it into her spatial storage. Pheasants and rabbits are a must-have. Gu An'an is so lucky that she thinks she is God's favorite daughter.
But if you want to catch a large animal, your luck won't be so good.
"As expected, God wouldn't throw his own daughter into the apocalypse to be played with by zombies."
With a pout, Gu An'an wasn't very satisfied with her gains this time.
Going back like this was definitely not an option, so Gu An'an squatted down in a mushroom patch and picked all the hazel mushrooms, filling a large basket.
Remembering the treasure she had found last time, Gu An'an was quite curious about what would happen next, so she circled around that area again. Just as she was about to reach her destination after climbing over the last mountain, she immediately sensed something was wrong.
Judging from the fallen plants, someone has been here, and there may even be people here now.
Looking around and finding no one, Gu An'an tossed the basket into her spatial storage, took out a cloth to cover her face, and then silently approached with a dagger in hand.
"Idiot, did you find it or not?"
Gu An'an saw several people with tools searching for something in the soil, and a man standing next to them with his hands behind his back spitting out saliva.
"Brother, we still haven't found it. That can't be right! The map shows it's right here. Could this map be fake?"
"impossible!"
The middle-aged man snatched the blueprint and examined it from all angles. No matter how they looked at it, it was on the mountaintop beneath their feet. However, they had looked at all the trees on the mountaintop and found that none of them had that marking.
They even dug in every place they could think of, but still found nothing.
That's really strange.
Could this treasure map really be fake? Impossible, that person wouldn't lie to him about something like this.
Who is it?
