"Of course. Even if you don't tell me, we would go buy it anyway. And buy some review materials to take back. We are going to college together." Xie Zhi nodded.

Xu Jiaojiao thought about the college entrance examination that had been lingering in her ears. She was not worried that Xie Zhi would not pass it. With his strength, he could definitely kill many people in seconds. But this man seemed to have no confidence in himself.

"What if I fail the exam? You will have to go to college by yourself."

Xie Zhi regained his cold expression and shook his head firmly: "If you can't pass the exam, I won't go to school either. I will supervise you to repeat the year. Jiaojiao, I'm worried that when I go to college, you will find another man and dump me."

Xu Jiaojiao: “….”

Didn't he expect that he would be such a philandering person in this man's heart? She thought she was quite loyal, but at this moment, the girl had completely forgotten how much psychological trauma Xie Zhi had suffered from not wanting to marry this man before.

He would rather not go to college than not stay with the girl. In his eyes, the girl is like a kite, and the string he is holding is at risk of breaking at any time. He must stay there all the time, otherwise, once the kite's string is short, it is likely that he will never find it again.

"I can't do that either." She explained awkwardly.

"Jiaojiao, I believe you, but I want to stay by your side, accompany you. If you can't get into college in your life, I will always handle the work for the teacher, and he will pay me."

Xie Zhi suddenly thought of something. The girl loved beauty, so he must make a lot of money, otherwise she would disappear like smoke.

"Jiaojiao, wait for me. I will make a lot of money. If it's not enough now, I can take on more projects. I won't let you suffer with me."

Xu Jiaojiao didn't know what this person was thinking, so she asked curiously, "So how much is your salary?"

"The teacher gave me 300 yuan a month, and I got 8 yuan for teaching in the village, a total of 308 yuan. My grandfather left me some money, but I don't know how much."

"Three hundred yuan! That's too much." Xu Jiaojiao said silently.

At the same time, he made a careful calculation in his head. His mother earned 15 yuan a month, which was considered a high salary. It was equivalent to 3,000 yuan in later generations. So Xie Zhi would get 60,000 yuan, my God.

Xie Zhi thought he was being ridiculed and was not happy at all. He touched the girl's head and swore in his heart: "But I think it's not enough. Jiaojiao, don't worry, I will work hard to make money."

Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh, why the gap between people is so big, it is true that knowledge is power at all times. The experimental data processed by Xie Zhi and the things he sorted out were all in foreign languages. Even if they were changed into Chinese, she couldn't understand them.

The two of them had a simple lunch and then went to the largest Guomao Market to buy things. Unlike the small counties, there were no purchase restrictions such as food coupons here. In addition, this place was one of the most developed cities and had a wide range of products. Even if they didn't have coupons, they could just pay more money.

Xu Jiaojiao was dazzled by the sight. The only thing she saw was the price: rice was eight cents per pound, flour was seven cents per pound, and milk candy was fifty cents per pound.

"Honey, this rice is very cheap, why can't we afford it?" Before Xu Jiaojiao could finish her words, Xie Zhi covered her lips, fearing that she would say something shocking.

"It's not that we can't afford it, it's that there's no rice to sell. All the rice has been shipped to these places. Hush, let's not discuss this topic outside." Xie Zhi leaned closer and said.

This inevitably reminded Xu Jiaojiao of the power rationing in later generations. She didn't know what to say and could only sigh.

"Then how much should we buy?"

"Ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of flour is the most."

“Is this enough to eat?”

"First, I might not be able to bring it up, and second, if I'm discovered, it would be more trouble than it's worth."

Xu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes speechlessly. If she knew nothing and carried a hundred kilograms, she might be arrested. Nowadays, most of the things sold in these places are in legitimate and qualified stores, and it is very dangerous to buy large quantities privately.

In the end, the two men bought ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of flour at ten cents per kilogram. The flour was especially finely ground and white, which was very popular with customers. The main reason was that they had limited food coupons to use every day, so they could only buy it at a high price.

But I am already lucky, because sometimes I can’t buy it even at a high price.

Xu Jiaojiao bought a lot of candies and snacks, and also went to the fabric store to choose a few pieces for each person in the family. The patterns were fashionable and they would definitely look good when they were made.

When they came out, they were stopped by a sneaky man: "Comrade, would you like to buy buttons? Beautiful and fashionable buttons, and foreign hairpins."

"Can I take a look?" Xu Jiaojiao asked. She really didn't choose anything she liked.

Then the man stealthily led the two of them into a corner and took out a handful of sorted items from his pocket, which looked very similar to those popular in later generations. The girl immediately took out money and bought a lot.

When the two were waiting for the bus, they heard the sound of pursuit coming from behind. The man was being chased by a man in uniform. Fortunately, the man was rather thin, so it was unknown whether he was caught up in the end.

“Can’t you sell it?”

"Not now, but later. Okay, the car is here."

Xu Jiaojiao found that Xie Zhi was always very depressed whenever he mentioned these scenes. The more people know, the unhappier they tend to be.

After the group finished their meal in the evening, Xu Shu packed all the pork he had bought every day with oil paper, thinking of taking it home for a good meal.

"Brother, didn't you keep it for yourself?"

"Silly sister, I eat in the cafeteria every day, so I still get to eat meat."

Xu Shu's monthly salary is 90 yuan. He does not have to pay for food and receives a daily allowance. He has to pay for the excess himself. He sends 15 yuan to his family every month and saves the rest.

He pulled Jiaojiao into the room, took out two thousand yuan from the drawer and handed it to his sister, all wrapped in an envelope.

"Brother, it's enough for you to give me a little. Why do you need to give me so much? You still have to spend money. You need money to marry a wife." This was my brother's salary for several years.

"Take it. I'll make money in the future and give it to mom as soon as I get back. If you want it, ask mom for it." Xu Jiaojiao finally accepted it.

The luggage was all packed, and most of it contained things she bought, such as groceries, that she wanted to take back home to her parents.

After washing up normally, the girl stayed in Xie Zhi's arms: "I'm a little reluctant to leave, big brother."

"Come back later, please."

"That's all we can do."

The feeling of having family as the backing of one is really very comfortable. Although Xu Jiaojiao was also loved in the later life, she was not held in the palm of one's hand like she is now. As the saying goes, where the money is, there is love.

She must work hard to run the clothing store well and live up to her family's trust, and return them many times over. The girl swore secretly in her heart, and she couldn't even sleep well.
