Chapter 15: Grey Money
Although private trading is allowed on this day, there are still some restrictions, and the in-demand goods are naturally not allowed to appear, and large-scale material transactions are not allowed.
But despite so many restrictions, most people are squeezing their heads to get the qualification to enter the big set, after all, the entire Huayan, except for this kind of government-approved big set, is not allowed to trade privately at any time.
After lunch, Luo Qiong was responsible for staying at home to clean up, and Grandma Ji had to continue to go to work until about five o'clock in the afternoon before returning from work. Therefore, although Grandma Ji's job looks easy, it is also very time-consuming, especially in the cat winter season, most of the villagers in the whole village are idle at home, but Grandma Ji still has to go to work rain or shine, fortunately, the total food obtained by Grandma Ji is not low in a year.
After a few days of this, less than a month before the New Year, the village finally began to organize the distribution of red salaries.
According to the practice of previous years, the red salary was deliberately selected at the beginning of the lunar month, and the reason for choosing this time was naturally to facilitate the villagers to have money to buy things for the New Year before the year.
It's just that there are not many families who can get the full amount of the red salary, after all, when the first few years were difficult, many families owed the village money in order to survive, so they always had to deduct some from the red salary every year to pay off the debt.
Moreover, Huading Village is not large, and the population is also small, if anyone encounters something that needs to use a lot of money, and the family really can't come up with the money, they will apply in advance to the village pre-branch to distribute dividends, and then when the final red salary is issued, it will also be directly deducted.
After Grandma Ji reseparated, she asked the village chief to take her household registration out of her eldest son's house, so that even if Grandma Ji was an independent family, she would need to receive a separate red salary.
is similar to what Grandma Ji guessed, this year, her red salary has been divided into more than forty, which should have been more, but in the middle of the year, in order to see Luo Qiong, she paid a lot of money in advance.
Of course, if there is no advance payment, Grandma Ji should be able to get more than seventy, looking at the money is a little small, in fact, this is quite a lot, after all, she is an old lady, and she can't do heavy work and can't get high centimeters, so she can have so much red salary, or because she also has work to do when she is slack.
As soon as Grandma Ji got the red salary, she hurried home, completely ignoring the complicated eyes of the two daughters-in-law, especially the eldest daughter-in-law Chen Cuilian, who wanted to put away the money for Grandma Ji, but unfortunately Grandma Ji didn't want to deal with the two at all, so she took the money and went home.
"Little Joan, look at how much money grandma received today. As soon as Grandma Ji returned home, she began to shout at Luo Qiong in the house, although she had received a lot of money in previous years, but in the past three years, there was really not much in her hands.
Not to mention, Luo Qiong was really curious, and when Grandma Ji opened the heavy curtain and walked in, she immediately sat up straight from the bed, this is because she knew that she was paid red today, so Luo Qiong did not stay in her room, but went to Grandma Ji's room early, just waiting to see Grandma Ji's income this year.
"Look, it's a total of 42 yuan, 6 cents and 5 cents, plus our previous deposits, this year's New Year will definitely be very prosperous, and when I transfer classes with your Grandma Xu tomorrow, we will go to the town to buy New Year's goods." Grandma Ji took out an envelope containing red pay from her arms, and the envelope was written with Grandma Ji's name - Ji Xiulian.
Luo Qiong also saw the three words on the envelope at first sight, fortunately, the words here are not much different from the Chiling Continent where she was originally located, so there is no obstacle to reading words at all.
"Shall we go to the town tomorrow?" In the memory of the original owner, Luo Qiong knew that the town was much more lively than Huading Village, and there were also state-run shops to visit, with all kinds of goods in them, Luo Qiong had long wanted to see it with his own eyes.
"Of course, we have to clean up the houses in the town, and it's time to remove the dust for the New Year. Grandma Ji took out all the money in the envelope and counted it for Luo Qiong to play, while talking about tomorrow's plan, every Chinese New Year, she would use the excuse to go to the town, and then clean up the house simply.
"Oooh. Luo Qiong thought of the house of the original owner's family in the town, and always felt that there was something she had forgotten, but when she saw a stack of bills of various denominations, she focused on counting the money.
Grandma Ji smiled and let Luo Qiong count the money over and over again, seeing that she studied the money carefully and carefully, she didn't say anything, and she felt that such a lively granddaughter was much more energetic than before.
However, what Grandma Ji didn't know was that she thought that it was rare for the child to be happy to see so much money, but in fact, Luo Qiong was counting the money, but she was thinking that when her spiritual power was enough, she didn't know if she could use the illusion technique to conjure up the money to use.
This kind of little trick of turning money, when Luo Qiong used to go out to practice, every time he passed by those worldly places, once he encountered a lack of money, he would use transfiguration to get by.
Of course, this trick was no longer used after she found a gold mine, and when she thought of this, she suddenly remembered the natal storage space she had opened since her infancy, and her collections were all in it.
It's a pity that she can't open her real name space now, not to mention, so many private collections can't be taken out, the most important thing is those gold mines, she knows, the current world, also recognizes gold and silver.
"Hey~" Thinking of the treasure that may never be available again, Luo Qiong no longer has the interest in studying the gross ticket.
These banknotes printed with various celebrity portraits and landscapes, as well as fluttering coins of one and two cents, of course, the five-dime one-dollar coin still has some weight, but they are not as comfortable as her golden pile of gold and silver.
"Little girl, why did you count the money and sigh?" Grandma Ji asked funny as she touched Luo Qiong's little head.
"It's nothing, I just don't think the money looks good. Luo Qiong replied with a pair of misty eyes.
"Haha, it's all flowery, why are you still gray, if you don't like it, you won't read it, and when you go to town tomorrow, grandma will take you to buy a beautiful pictorial." "Grandma Ji only thought that Luo Qiong was a child, and she didn't take it seriously.
In fact, what Luo Qiong said was gray was not the color of these gross tickets, but the fact that these gross coins did not shine, to put it bluntly, she just felt sorry for the gold mines that could not be taken back.
In order to be able to get up early the next day, the grandparents and grandchildren went back to their rooms to rest after dinner, and it was dark early in winter, and it was not very late to eat at night, so it was not strange that the two of them went to sleep after eating and cleaning up.
Before dawn on the second day, Luo Qiong was woken up by Grandma Ji from the warm bed, and it was estimated that it would be more than five o'clock in the morning, but unfortunately neither grandparents nor grandchildren had a watch alarm clock or anything like that, so they could only roughly estimate the time.
