Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 117 Making Money

Wang Lanlan has four siblings, two older brothers and a younger brother. She is the only girl.

She is considered a favored girl at home. In addition, her father is the village chief, so few people in Xishui Village bully her.

She had a pretty good life since she was a child.

Wang Lanlan looked at the two people in front of her who were staring at her. She had the illusion that these two people seemed to be waiting to hear gossip.

"As you know, I have two older brothers and a younger brother. Although my parents love me, I still have to do the housework.

I earned quite a bit of work points, and my mother would sometimes say that I was just a freeloader, but I knew she didn’t really mean it, she was just used to saying that.”

Wang Lanlan said this, thought for a moment, and continued:

"But one time I heard my eldest and second sisters-in-law saying that I was a freeloader, so I rushed over and had a fight with them.

My sister-in-law was also taught a lesson by her brothers, and I never heard them say this again. But not hearing it doesn't mean they don't think this way.

The money I earn is definitely for myself. Giving it to my mother is like giving it to the whole family, and also to my sister-in-law and others. I don’t want to give it to them.”

Ye Yi looked at her with some sympathy. Wang Lanlan looked sunny and cheerful. Her brother and sister-in-law were very nice to her. She didn't expect that there were so many things going on at home.

He stepped forward and patted her shoulder, thinking of his home, and said in a gloomy tone:

"Every family has its own problems. I support you. Keep the money you earn for yourself. I keep the money I earn for myself now."

"Then do you want me to save it for you?" Wang Lanlan suddenly turned her eyes and asked Ye Yi.

Ye Yi was just feeling a little sad, but she laughed out loud at her words, "Do you really think I'm stupid? Can't I save my money myself? Should I give it to you to save?"

After saying that, he glanced up and down at Wang Lanlan a few times.

Lin Qingyan looked at the two funny guys in front of her.

"Okay, okay, I suggest you keep studying in mind. Wang Lanlan, if you don't understand, you can ask Ye Yi. If I have time, I will read with you."

Seeing how serious she was, the two of them nodded together.

After confirming the departure time for the next morning, Wang Lanlan left the educated youth point and went home.

After Lanlan left, Lin Qingyan said to Ye Yi seriously:

"We went to the countryside to support rural construction, and our household registration and food supply were transferred here. If we don't want to live here all our lives,

We must try our best to seize every opportunity we can. At present, studying may be our only chance to return to the city.

Although we don’t know when we can return to the city, we must seize the opportunity as long as we have it, because opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.”

Ye Yi looked at Lin Qingyan who had left her alone and nodded.

"I understand. I will study hard. The books you gave me last time are still here. I will read them first and come back to you when I'm done."

"Well, I'll get some more information when I have a chance."

Lin Qingyan thought of the modern times. Modern information is so developed, and she didn’t know whether there was any information about the resumption of the college entrance examination. She would go to the modern times to look for it when she had time.

After Ye Yi went back, Lin Qingyan boiled some water, ate the food bought by Hyundai, took a shower, and went to bed early.

The next morning, when Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi rode their bicycles to Wang Lanlan's house, she was already waiting there wearing a flowered jacket.

"You are late today."

"Why are you here so early today?"

Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan's words rang out at the same time. After they finished speaking, they smiled and said to Lin Qingyan, "Let's go!"

Today, several people arrived half an hour earlier than yesterday and just arrived not far from the gate of the textile factory.

I saw the two girls who were the first to buy things yesterday. There were a few other girls standing next to them, talking.

When he saw them riding their bikes over, he quickly reached out to them and shouted, "Here, here!"

This time, Lin Qingyan came with Ye Yi and the others. She had just gotten off her bicycle and hadn't stopped yet.

Then I heard the two girls from yesterday asking, "Why did you come just now? I've been waiting for you for a while and thought you weren't coming!"

Wang Lanlan was busy parking her bike. "How could they not come? We came earlier than yesterday, but we didn't expect you to come earlier."

"Stop talking about this. Where are the things?" several girls who didn't buy anything yesterday urged.

"Yes, yes, where is the thing? Take it out and show it to us."

"I brought some money today. Let me see it." A girl reached out to open the backpack that Ye Yi was carrying.

Lin Qingyan stepped forward to stop them, "Don't be anxious, sister, it's still early, I must satisfy you today."

The girl looked at Lin Qingyan, who was younger than her, and called her sister. She was not angry at her for stopping her.

He just urged, "Many people didn't buy it yesterday. When they heard that you were coming today, they all said they wanted to buy it today. We got it early, thinking we could pick it up."

As they were talking, Wang Lanlan and Ye Yi had already taken off their backpacks, placed them on the ground, and opened them to reveal the colorful scarves, hats, and gloves inside.

Several girls rushed over.

Ye Yi was startled, but she reacted quickly and shouted: "Don't worry, don't worry! There are a lot of them today, you can get them all, all!"

Even the two girls who bought things yesterday were eager to buy another set when they saw the different styles of scarves and hats.

"Please don't push us. We won't be able to take out our things if we squeeze them like this, and then we won't be able to buy anything.

When your factory staff go to work later, there will be more people and it will be even harder to buy. Let's not squeeze in.

Take your time, there are only a few of you, I guarantee everyone can buy one, don't crowd, come one by one, okay?"

Lin Qingyan looked at Wang Lanlan and Ye Yi, whose foreheads were already covered in sweat, and hurried forward and shouted loudly.

The few people knew each other and had a good relationship, otherwise they wouldn't have made an appointment to come together and wait.

After hearing Lin Qingyan's words, they looked at each other, stood up, and stopped trying to take things out of the backpack.

"Ye Yi, Wang Lanlan, take out your things one by one and show them to these sisters."

After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she smiled and said to the girls,

"If you like the styles they show, just ask for them. Whoever gets it first gets it. Then come to my place to pay. Is that okay?"

A few girls looked at the factory gate, and other people began to appear. They looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's do it."

"Yes, let's get started, there are other people coming."

"I like that red scarf, you are not allowed to snatch it from me."

One of the girls pointed at the red scarf on Ye Yi's backpack and said to the others.

"Why? I like this one too."

"Good sister, can you just let me go this time?"

"No way, whoever grabs it first gets it!"

The two girls who bought yesterday pointed at the people coming over not far away and said to them, "Stop arguing and start quickly."

Lin Qingyan also looked in the direction she pointed.
