Yunyan also received her share of the dividend, 408 yuan. The team leader gave her her share along with the commissions of the other educated youth, who then passed it on to each of them.
Yun Yan took the money to the educated youth center and found out that Qian Qian had been transferred back to the city. Yun Yan distributed their dividends according to the records given by the accountant and then left the educated youth center.
She was going to find Yang Qian, as her dividend this time was more than a hundred yuan.
"Yang Qian, this is your commission for sweet potato vermicelli for the first half of this year. It's a total of one hundred and thirty-eight yuan. Count it." Yun Yan handed her the money.
Yang Qian took the money and immediately put it in her pocket: "No need to count it, I trust you."
After the two chatted casually for a few minutes, Yunyan stood up and said goodbye with the photos she took at the beach in Guangshi.
After returning home, Yun Yan took out the lobster she had bought from her space and made spicy lobster.
Yun Yan's mouth watered from the spiciness, but she couldn't help but want to eat. Sure enough, spicy dishes were more to her taste. She hadn't eaten enough in the month she was out.
The next day was Saturday, and Hu Zi and his friends came knocking on Yun Yan's door early in the morning.
"Sister Yun, did you take the photo you promised us?" Hu Zi asked.
Ever since he knew Sister Yun was back, he had always wanted to come and see her, but his grandfather wouldn't let him come, saying that Sister Yun had just returned and needed to have a good rest. Today finally gave him the chance.
Yun Yan looked at their expressions and said with a smile, "Of course we did. Wait, I'll get it for you."
He turned around and went to the bedroom and took out all the photos from the space.
"Look, this is a photo taken at the seaside with Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall." Yun Yan handed the photo to them.
Hu Zi and the other children looked at the photos one by one, and from time to time they looked at the photos in other children's hands.
"Sister Yun, is this the sea? It's so big!" Tiezhu said enviously while holding the photo.
"Yes, but this photo can only capture a part of it. You can go and see with your own eyes how big the ocean is in the future." Yun Yan said with a smile.
"Sister Yun, you went to climb the Great Wall. Is it really ten thousand miles long?" Hu Zi asked.
"I don't know about that, but I can tell you that the Great Wall is really long, the kind that you can't see the end of," said Yun Yan.
The little ones chattered over the photos, eager to see the beautiful scenery in person. Yun Yan took out a box of pastries she had bought in Beijing and asked them to take a piece each.
The little ones looked at the photos and ate cakes, all longing for the legendary Jing City. Even Hu Zi, a poor student in elementary school, secretly made up his mind to study hard so that he could travel around like Yun Yan, see beautiful scenery and eat delicious cakes.
The Dragon Boat Festival soon arrived, and the brigade gave everyone a day off.
Last year during the Dragon Boat Festival, I was busy with housework, so I didn’t even make rice dumplings. I just made a braised pork dish as an extra side dish.
However, given the current living conditions, few families in the brigade know how to make rice dumplings.
We had dinner at the educated youth camp again. Since I had just received my commission, the food we ate this year's Dragon Boat Festival was better than before.
She cooked a dish of pork stewed with vermicelli noodles, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised pork with potatoes, hot and sour Chinese cabbage, and a pot of carrot and bone soup. The staple food was white rice. Yunyan didn't bring any vegetables this time, only a few homemade rice dumplings.
There weren't many, just one for each member of the educated youth group. She bought the glutinous rice at the black market in Beijing and added red beans to make red bean dumplings.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the loaches and eels in the ditches began to move. Yunyan decided to start buying loaches and eels, starting her own side business.
Yun Yan found Hu Zi and the others and told them that they could catch loaches and eels to exchange for money, but the prerequisite was that they had to finish their homework.
She cleaned the three large vats for raising loaches and waited for Hu Zi and the others to bring the loaches and eels.
The reason why I didn't look for people from the village was that I didn't want to be too high-profile. If I aroused other people's jealousy, who knows if they would report me again.
Pan Di was the first person to send loaches and eels to Yun Yan. Yun Yan hadn't seen her for half a year.
She was also pitiful. She didn't dare to touch a penny of the money she had with her. Last winter, Yun Yan saw her shivering in thin clothes and offered to use the money she had left with her to buy her a sweater or cotton jacket, but she refused.
The reason for refusal was very simple. Even if she bought her new clothes, she wouldn't be able to wear them, and she might even be beaten by her parents. Then her parents would know that she had left the money with Yunyan.
Seeing that she had frostbite on her hands and feet, Yunyan bought her a box of frostbite ointment.
This time, Pan Di brought five kilograms of loaches, and Yun Yan took out a notebook to help her write it down.
"Pandi, including the fifty cents this time, you now have a total of forty-eight yuan with me." Yun Yan said, pointing to the notebook.
Pan Di looked at the words on the notebook and hesitated for a long time before he stammering, "Sister Yun, can you teach me how to read?"
Yun Yan felt a little bit sorry for her when she saw her like that. She thought about those naughty kids she saw on the Internet in her previous life who refused to go to school even when their parents begged them to. There is really no harm without comparison.
"Pandi, if you want to learn to read, I will of course be happy to teach you." Yun Yan said softly.
"Thank you, Sister Yun." Pan Di was extremely happy to hear that Yun Yan was willing to teach her to read.
Yunyan and her agreed to teach her to read every day in the back mountain while cutting grass for pigs.
After Pan Di left, Hu Zi and a few others also came over carrying loaches and eels.
On the first day, we received more than 60 kilograms of loaches and eels, which was pretty good.
The next morning after breakfast, Yunyan went to the back mountain. Pan Di came early. When Yunyan got closer, she saw that she had already cut almost a basket of pig grass.
Yunyan knew that she wanted to finish cutting two baskets of pig grass as soon as possible so that she could have more time to learn to read.
Soon, both of them had cut enough grass for the pigs. Yun Yan took out the paper and pen that she had prepared long ago and began to teach her to read.
Considering that this was Pan Di's first time learning to read, Yun Yan only taught her five simple Chinese characters today: big, small, open, close, and person.
After learning these words, Pan Di wrote them carefully in his notebook, stroke by stroke.
In the next few days, Yunyan collected loaches and eels while teaching Pan Di to read.
Yunyan found that Pan Di was very smart. She quickly memorized the words she taught her. Yunyan also taught her the multiplication table. Unexpectedly, she memorized it in just two days.
If Pan Di had the opportunity to study, he might have the chance to be admitted to Peking University in the future.
There are now more than 150 kilograms of prepared spicy loach and spicy eel slices in the space. Yun Yan decided to go to the black market tomorrow to deliver the things to Li Chunsheng.
