"No need. I can still afford to treat you to some pastries." Xu Qi felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that the little girl had calculated everything clearly, but he quickly suppressed it and quickly refused.
"Is that so? Then I won't be polite." Song Tanglan noticed the change in his expression at that moment, thinking that what she had just said had made him unhappy. She felt embarrassed to continue talking about the money and quickly changed the subject.
But I thought to myself that we are in a partnership now, so it’s not illegal for him to treat me to some pastries.
Just thinking about the cooperation and the fact that she now had an extra 1,000 yuan in cash, she couldn't help but feel happy.
"Brother Xu, please give me all the gold bars from my next share of the money. I don't want cash anymore. A small portion of bills will be fine."
Song Tanglan thought that she had no use for the money at all and couldn't buy a house for the time being, so she thought it would be safer to exchange it for gold bars. After all, gold bars are constantly appreciating in value.
When the college entrance examination was resumed and reform and opening up began, the price of gold bars had increased several times.
When the house is available for purchase, she can also buy a few more houses and be a good landlady.
"Why?" Xu Qi really didn't understand why the little girl didn't want the cash and insisted on taking the heavy gold bar.
In this day and age, if someone finds gold bars in your possession, it is a very serious matter. Not only will you be criticized, but you will also have to hand over the gold bars, be arrested and paraded through the streets, and in more serious cases, be sent to a farm for forced labor.
"I like shiny things. Besides, I don't need so much money now. I can buy more gold bars and keep them. They will be valuable in the future."
Song Tanglan tried to remind Xu Qi in a roundabout way to let him take a long-term view. Although these things are not worth much now, things will be different in five or six years.
Seeing that the little girl was so determined, Xu Qi did not try to persuade her any further. Knowing that she was very opinionated and would not act rashly, he could only nod helplessly.
He actually had the same idea, otherwise he would not have collected so many gold bars and jewelry. He was just afraid that the little girl's collection would attract attention.
"Then remember to hide well and don't let outsiders find out."
"Don't worry, I have a place to hide things, and no one will find them."
Song Tanglan couldn't guarantee anything else, but she could guarantee that she could hide things. After all, she had the space, and even if those people turned the place upside down, they wouldn't be able to find these things.
The two did not talk much about this matter and soon separated, each busy with their own things.
Song Tanglan took the things and returned to the threshing ground again. At this time, the team was moving forward, and there were only three people left in front of Song Tangcheng.
Seeing this, Song Tanglan took Mumu from her arms without thinking, and handed the remaining responsibility of collecting food to Song Tangcheng.
Because of natural disasters this year, the amount of food they received was not as much as in previous years, and even the money they received was not as much as before. They had already agreed at home that all the money they received this year would be used to exchange for food.
I plan to exchange for more sweet potatoes and make more vermicelli so that I can send some back home. Food is in short supply in the city now and the price is rising rapidly.
If the Song family were to make vermicelli themselves, the cost would be much higher, not to mention that they couldn't get so many sweet potatoes.
This year, in addition to Xiao Cheng's family planning to exchange all their food, even the team leader's family and Su Tao and the other two exchanged a lot of food. Su Tao and the other two directly used all the money they received from their work points to buy food.
Many aunts were surprised to see them exchanging so much food and were curious about the situation.
"Su Zhiqing, how come you guys exchanged so much food this year? The three of you can't eat it all!"
"Yeah, yeah, even if you three are big eaters, you can't finish all this!"
When everyone saw the huge pile of food in front of the three people, they couldn't help but feel envious.
Su Tao looked at the aunts surrounding her. If she didn't explain the situation clearly, these people would not give up so easily.
But it was too troublesome to explain, which gave her a headache. She was interrupted just as she was about to speak.
"Su Zhiqing, you and Sun Zhiqing aren't planning to get married next year, are you preparing so much food?"
"Oh, that's right. You two young educated youth have been dating for over a year now. It's normal for you to get married."
"Yeah, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that they are still dating. Su Zhiqing, when are you planning to hold the wedding banquet?"
The three aunts kept talking to each other, making Su Tao and Sun Jianhua blush. They wished they could dig a hole in the ground and hide in it to hide from shame.
Especially the gossip in the eyes of those aunts made Su Tao feel creepy. She wanted to carry a sack in one hand and rush back to the yard.
"Aunts, if we decide to get married, we will definitely invite you to the wedding. We haven't decided yet. We exchanged so much food because Su Zhiqing's grandparents live in the northwest, where she grew up. Now her grandparents can't afford to eat, so we thought of exchanging more food and sending it to them to help them out of their urgent need."
Sun Jianhua looked at the corner of his clothes that was about to be torn, and reluctantly began to explain to her, and at the same time save his few intact clothes.
"So that's how it is. I thought you were getting married!"
"Su Zhiqing is truly filial. Life is so hard for everyone right now, who would still think about grandpa and grandma?"
"Yes, I heard that even though the grain tax in the northwest was exempted, the harvested grain was not enough to feed and clothe them. Now they can't buy food, so they are hungry all the time."
