Chapter 5: Not Going to the Countryside



Huo Qiqi looked at the time and found that she had been in the cellar for almost an hour. She decided to make a quick decision and left the cellar early.

After collecting all the treasures, Huo Qiqi extinguished the oil lamp on the wall, quickly left the cellar, and then restored the cellar entrance. Without Huo Qiqi leading the way, no one could find the cellar entrance.

After returning to her bedroom, Huo Qiqi confirmed that there was no one around the villa, then slipped into the space and washed up thoroughly. Huo Qiqi was very satisfied when she saw herself in the mirror.

During this time, Huo Qiqi had been drinking the well water in the space. Apart from the large amount of foul-smelling black dirt she expelled on the first day, there was no more. Huo Qiqi's skin, which had originally been a bit sallow, had become crystal clear, white and tender.

She is also a little taller, 168cm, with a delicate face, fair skin, tall stature, a well-proportioned figure, and is radiant.

Huo Qiqi smiled at herself in the mirror. She was so outstanding, so why did she need a man? Wasn't it good to be beautiful alone?

As an orphan and the child of a martyr, Huo Qiqi naturally does not need to go to the countryside, and she will not go there. You know, she has countless spatial resources, and in this era, there are probably few people richer than her.

Huo Qiqi started school early and skipped grades, so she graduated from high school at the age of 16.

During this time, Huo Qiqi learned from her sisters that their older brothers and sisters had a very difficult life after going to the countryside, relying entirely on work points for food and clothing. Furthermore, many educated youth were ostracized and unwelcome by the locals.

Some educated youth could not stand the hard work in the fields after going to the countryside, so they found a local to marry or married a local. Even among the educated youth there were many conflicts. Some educated youth did not insist on returning to the city at all and stayed on that land forever.

Several young women have been busy looking for jobs recently, but it's not easy to find a job at this time. Forget regular jobs, even temporary ones are hard to come by. For many city kids, if they can't find a job, they have to go to the countryside.

Huo Qiqi didn't have any good solution and could only try her best to comfort these little sisters.

According to the timeline of the original time and space, it would take another two years for the college entrance examination to be resumed. At that time, Huo Qiqi planned to take the college entrance examination. With her academic excellence and the ability to pass every exam, she would definitely have no problem with the college entrance examination.

Huo Qiqi knew that although she did not have to go to the countryside as a child of a martyr, she did not want to be too special, so Huo Qiqi planned to find a job.

The salary does not need to be too high. After all, at this time, most employees' salaries are not high. Take the workers in the textile factory as an example. The average regular worker earns about 42 yuan a month, and the temporary worker earns much less, almost less than half, a little more than 20 yuan.

Although the salary is not high, the things are really cheap. Pork costs 0.74 yuan per catty with a ticket, and rice costs 0.12 yuan per catty with a ticket. You should know that before the time travel, the price of ordinary pork was about 13 yuan per catty, and rice was about 4 yuan per catty.

If Huo Qiqi wants to become the business queen of this world, she needs to know more about this world, so she finds a job in order to better understand this era in this time and space.

Huo Qiqi felt that if there was a suitable opportunity, she would buy some houses and wait for them to appreciate in value.

Huo Qiqi combined the knowledge she had accumulated in her previous life and roughly calculated the price of small yellow croaker. Now, each gram of gold is about 10 yuan, and a small yellow croaker is about 30 grams, so a small yellow croaker is about 300 yuan in Chinese currency. You should know that Huo Qiqi has 20 boxes of small yellow croakers, 200 in each box, which means 4,000 small yellow croakers. Converted into cash, it is 1.2 million yuan, which is enough to buy 120 ordinary courtyard houses.

Of course, it would be best if the small yellow croakers in the space were not used. Huo Qiqi still wanted to preserve the small yellow croakers as much as possible. You know, she also bought a lot of gold before traveling through time. The price of gold before traveling through time was about 400 yuan per gram. If the small yellow croakers were preserved until the 21st century, the income from the small yellow croakers would be considerable.

After the development of Beijing's houses in the 1980s, the price per square meter was about 400 yuan, and a courtyard house was about 10,000 yuan. The housing prices in 1975 were slightly lower. At that time, there were too many restrictions on buying houses, and private transactions were not allowed. Many people bought and sold houses through transfer.

Huo Qiqi took stock of the cash she currently had.

There are several aspects in total: 1. The cash and passbooks left to me by my grandparents, parents, amount to 30,000 yuan, of which my grandfather saved 20,000 yuan alone; 2. My parents served in the army for more than 10 years and saved 10,000 yuan. Before they died, my father was treated as a deputy regimental commander and my mother was treated as a battalion commander, plus my parents' pension of 4,000 yuan and the monthly subsidy of 30 yuan for the children of martyrs until they are 18 years old.

Mr. Huo donated four factories a few years ago: three cotton mills and one garment factory. To thank him for his contributions, the government signed a contract with him, promising him the salary of a deputy factory director for as long as the factories existed. Each factory gave Mr. Huo 50 yuan per month, or 200 yuan per month for all four factories. Huo Qiqi also inherited all the corresponding bills. Huo Qiqi had quite a bit of money.

She has yuan in fixed cash and 230 yuan in liquid cash every month. She is really a rich woman.

So Huo Qiqi's next goal is to find an easy job and buy a house when the time is right.

Huo Qiqi doesn't have too many requirements for work. She prefers to just go with the flow. If she can find a job where she can just lie back and relax, that would be the best.
