Thinking about the character's personality as described in the script, Shen Banxia decided to go to the scrap metal recycling station.
"Honey, you're not thinking of picking up a bargain, are you?"
Shen Banxia nodded. For the time being, she really didn't have any other way to make money, so she could only try her luck.
In her past life, she had heard her little assistant, who read novels, say that there were many opportunities at scrap metal recycling stations in the novel.
She knew that the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee was a gold enthusiast; as long as you had gold to pave the way, it was easy to get things done with him.
Shen Banxia was hoping to get her grandparents transferred here through that person.
As for the operations in between, and the informants behind the scenes, Shen Banxia felt that she needed to carefully consider them.
She was now looking for an opportunity to snag a bargain. She remembered that in the script, the reborn Zhao Di earned her first pot of gold at a scrap metal recycling station.
She didn't know if it would work if she did it so far in advance, but she decided to give it a try anyway.
As for seizing opportunities, God has already fed her the script, so why would she pretend to be aloof and push it away?
Wouldn't that contradict your ideal persona?
Anyway, regardless of her past or present life, her reputation has never been good, so she doesn't care anymore.
Now, all she wants is for those two kind old people to have an easier time.
They fell before dawn.
She didn't know if she was the person her grandparents were talking about, since the script only mentioned her briefly.
After all, they were just the grandparents of the female lead's awful relative; they weren't even supporting characters.
If it weren't for her good memory, she would have missed it all.
"Wife, do you think there are any fools these days? Those people have already put away the good stuff. Besides, if you think this way, others will think the same way. There are quite a few capable people in the county."
Shen Banxia also understood this principle.
"Since we're already here, we might as well take a look."
"Okay, but I'll go first. You go and get something to eat. It's already noon. You know, I learned this craft from Grandpa. Besides, that place is a mess, and you're pregnant."
Shen Banxia thought about the environment of the scrap metal recycling station and nodded.
"Okay," my own man is the real expert.
Who would have thought that the lazy bum in the village's eyes would actually learn the old man's antique appraisal skills?
Back when the environment wasn't so harsh, my husband had come to the county town quite a few times, which naturally cost a lot.
For rural people, it's better to save money and build up their savings than to spend it on transportation.
Therefore, despite Zhou Mingqian being the most handsome man in the village at that time, not a single woman was introduced to him. Not a single one.
Given his inability to carry heavy loads and the rumors that he's ruined his health, introducing him to anyone would be more of a feud than a marriage alliance.
Fortunately, they don't have that rule where the older sibling has to get married before the younger sibling can get married.
Otherwise, it would delay the development of all his younger brothers.
Look, Zhou Lao Er already has three children, while Zhou Mingqian is only having his first one, who's still in his belly.
Zhao Di, who was reborn at that time, was already seven years old. Zhou Lao Er got married early, at the age of eighteen.
In three years, Zhou Zhaodi will be reborn, by which time Zhou Mingjiao will already be married.
Thinking about the content of the script, Shen Banxia felt a headache coming on; it was all about causing trouble.
The script is written entirely around the main character; as for the other minor characters, they are just casual sighs from the female lead.
For example, my own grandparents, purely to express my admiration for the male protagonist's grandparents, because my sister-in-law's grandparents also lived on that farm.
Otherwise, Shen Banxia would be completely at a loss right now.
Upon arriving at the state-run restaurant, seeing that steamed buns and dumplings were still available, Chen Banxia decisively joined the queue. Luckily, she had brought an aluminum lunchbox with her, otherwise Zhou Mingqian would have gone hungry.
The freshly steamed buns are soft, white, and piping hot. Despite the scarcity of resources these days, they are all made from all-natural ingredients.
The aroma of wheat wafted over, and my stomach began to rumble in protest.
The chefs at state-run restaurants all have real skills; they make everything by hand.
Shen Banxia unconsciously drooled.
Soon it was her turn in line. Looking at the restaurant's rule that customers were absolutely not allowed to hit or scold them, Shen Banxia thought, "Sure enough, if you don't live in this era, you can't understand what the older generation remembers as a very prestigious job."
After all, there are no slogans without a reason.
Shen Banxia handed over four ounces of grain coupons, worth forty cents, and received four steaming hot meat buns in return.
Swallowing hard, Chen Banxia packed her food and checked today's offerings. She saw that there was a noodle dish with shredded pork and greens, so she decisively ordered a bowl, which cost her three ounces of grain coupons and sixteen cents.
These are truly handmade noodles, topped with a generous amount of shredded meat. Shen Banxia felt like she could devour a whole cow right now.
After finishing the soup in the bowl, Shen Banxia saw that it was still early, so she slowly took out the big meat buns. One, two, she felt a little hungry, three, four, and that was it.
Shen Banxia patted her pockets. Hmm, she still had three ounces of grain coupons. She would buy them for Zhou Mingqian later.
Shen Banxia, who was enjoying her meal to the fullest, didn't notice that everyone else in the restaurant was paying attention to her.
Anyone who sees a delicate little girl finish a big bowl of shredded pork noodles and eat four big meat buns would be curious.
That's enough to feed two men.
Shen Banxia didn't care about anything else. "Let's see. It won't hurt me." She went straight to the queue and bought more meat buns.
She wasn't disappointed when Zhou Mingqian returned empty-handed. "Here, eat up. This is fresh out of the pot. It's just that we're out of food coupons, otherwise you could have another bowl of shredded pork noodles."
Zhou Mingqian chuckled, "This is enough for me."
Even though I already knew my wife's appetite, I still find it impressive every time.
Looking at my wife's flat little belly, I wonder where all those old things have gone.
However, considering his wife's strength, which seemed disproportionate to her appearance, he felt it was only natural.
After eating two, he said, "Wife, there's one more, you eat it."
Shen Banxia waved her hand, "You eat, I'm full."
"I'm full too," he said, explaining that his stomach and spleen had been in poor condition since he fell into the water.
If it weren't for the help of Pinellia ternata, things would probably be even worse.
After all, the root of the problem has been damaged.
Given the Zhou family's situation, they couldn't afford any good treatments.
The contrast between the two left those around them stunned. Had they gotten them mixed up?
Suddenly, someone cried out, "Something's wrong! Help!"
When Shen Banxia looked, he collapsed to the ground, lost consciousness, his limbs were stiff, and he was bleating like a lamb.
Upon seeing someone pinching her philtrum and shaking her, Shen Banxia shouted, "Stop! Don't move!"
There was a sudden silence, and Shen Banxia pulled the man aside. "You all move aside and make room. Don't block the way." Her subordinates quickly unbuttoned the man's collar, turned him over, and made him lie on his side.
The man who was pulled away said, "What are you doing? That's our director. If anything happens to him, I'll make you pay."
Shen Banxia rolled her eyes, and when no one was paying attention, she gently pressed her finger, and the man woke up in less than a minute.
