Chapter 111 Going to Yuan’s House
In the next few days, Xia Chan has been taking people in the village to buy furniture. Although she didn't buy all the furniture, she can slowly add the rest.
Due to the floods, the supply for the people in the city was insufficient, so Xia Chan quietly went to the black market to trade twice. Eighty percent of the fruits, vegetables and even the various wild vegetables collected in the spring were sold, leaving the rest. Twenty percent is kept for home consumption.
From these two transactions, she made a total of 15,000 yuan. The original money spent on buying seeds and seedlings was almost repaid. However, she did not ask for all the money, but asked for 10,000 yuan, and the ticket system was 1,000 yuan. , an old item worth four thousand yuan.
Boxes of jewelry, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, etc. It’s a huge profit!
The reason for exchanging so many tickets this time is because everyone has to buy daily necessities. These tickets are for the families of the children who work with her. As for others, they are not hungry, so she doesn't need to worry about it. She is not a leader.
In early August, the village reconstruction work was completed. Potatoes, pumpkins, and corns were all replanted. Everyone's work and life returned to normal.
Xiao Yunfan and the others also left here. Before Xiao Yunfan left, he quietly told Xia Chan that he would write to her when he was free and asked her not to reject his letter.
School has also resumed classes, and many students have returned to class one by one.
On this day, the team leader asked Xia Chan to go to the commune with him for a meeting. She didn't know when she would be back, so she asked Principal Song for the afternoon off. Although other production teams did not go to the mountains to avoid danger, due to Xia Chan's advance notice , and they were fully prepared to minimize losses.
When they arrived at the commune office building, the captain took Xia Chan directly to the conference room and sat in the seat where he had been sitting before. Soon the captains of other production teams came over. Everyone saw Xia Chan and thanked Xia Chan. , because Xia Chan notified them in advance, and if they waited until they realized something was wrong before retreating, it would probably be too late.
After Secretary Mo came over, he also showed admiration to Xia Chan.
At the end of the meeting, Secretary Mo left the team leader and Xia Chan behind. Secretary Mo praised Xia Chan hard, praising her for her keen judgment and decisive execution, precisely because she made the right judgment. , to minimize the losses of the production team.
No one from the Yongan production team was injured or missing. Other production teams were moved early because Xia Chan notified them in advance. Only a few people were injured during the transfer, and the rest suffered from symptoms such as colds and fevers. No major casualties were caused. . Let him face the leader severely.
He also told Xia Chan that he had reported her efforts to the county and province.
Both the county and the province will award her outstanding contributions.
Xia Chan was very embarrassed after hearing Secretary Mo's praise. She felt that she didn't do anything but just brought everyone into the cave. Everyone brought their own food and cooked their own meals. She didn't know how others could do it. She is considered to have made a significant contribution.
However, saving so many people was a great merit. When she thought about it in the future, she would not feel guilty. After all, she had done what she could.
Coming to the meeting today, the happiest thing is that this year I don’t have to pay the public grain. All the crops in the fields have been destroyed and there is no food. How can I pay the public grain?
Secretary Mo also said that he had already applied for relief food, and everyone could just wait for the relief food to come out.
August 7th is Yuan Bingbing's birthday. Xia Chan has always remembered this day. Yuan Bingbing's family is in the county town, and she couldn't catch up with the afternoon class, so Xia Chan took another day off and borrowed a car from the village. tractor and rushed to the county seat.
When they were near Yuan Bingbing's house, Xia Chan took out two baskets of things she had prepared in advance, one basket of fruits and vegetables, and one basket of dried meats. She was from the country, and only good things would make people suspicious. These things are just right. Although Yuan Bingbing gave Xia Chan the address, Xia Chan had never been here after all. She used a handful of White Rabbit toffee to ask a child where the address was.
It was actually in an alley.
Xia Chan parked the tractor outside the alley, then walked inside with two baskets of things. Unexpectedly, the alley was full of two-story buildings. Each family had a large yard, and some even had plants in their yards. She looked at the fruit trees because she saw they were full of fruits.
Xia Chan quite likes this place. Even if it won't be demolished in the future, the houses here are still pretty good.
If someone sells their house in a few years, you can consider buying it.
After finding the door of Yuan Bingbing's house, Xia Chan put down her things and checked her clothes. Today she was wearing the cyan skirt that Yuan Bingbing gave her last time, and she was also wearing plastic sandals that were unique to this era and tied them up for herself. The temperamental centipede braid, so it doesn’t look earthy, right?
Xia Chan didn't know what others would think of her. Anyway, let's leave it as it is. The exaggerated makeup is not suitable for use yet.
After adjusting her mood, Xia Chan reached out and knocked on the door.
Yuan Bingbing, who was sitting on the wooden sofa at home drinking malted milk, said excitedly when she heard this, "Xia Chan must be here. I'll open the door myself." Then he ran out quickly, opened the door and saw that it was indeed Xia Chan excitedly pulled Xia Chan in.
Xia Chan was a little surprised, "Bingbing, are you so happy to see me coming?"
Yuan Bingbing walked into the house with Xia Chan on her arm and shouted happily, "Mom and Dad, Xia Chan is here."
Xia Chan was being held by Yuan Bingbing. As she stood there, what came into view was the Yuan family's living room. The wooden sofa, coffee table, fresh and elegant tablecloths, and beautiful porcelain cups all spoke of the Yuan family's excellence. condition.
That's right. The three members of the Yuan family are paid, and their monthly income is at least two hundred. They are a very wealthy family!
In addition, Yuan Bingbing has an older brother, who must also have a job. It is estimated that the monthly income of the family is about 250 to 300. One month's income is the income of other people's families for several years. Such a family is naturally an ordinary person's. Unattainable.
I don’t know if the Yuan family will think that she wants to get in touch with Yuan Bingbing.
Xia Chan didn't even know if she should come here today. Although she was rich, she didn't have such a powerful family, so she didn't have the confidence!
Yuan's mother heard Yuan Bingbing's cry and hurriedly came out of the kitchen. She saw the beautiful and majestic little girl standing next to her daughter. She was so happy, "Are you Xia Chan? I have always heard Bingbing mention you before. , thank you for saving our Bingbing. If others found Bingbing, she would have frozen into ice cubes.”
"I have always wanted to say thank you to you in person, but as doctors we are so busy that we can't even take care of our families, let alone have time to go elsewhere. But for today's meeting, aunt has been preparing for a long time. , you can eat well and have fun at our house today.”
