Chapter 40: The Sixty Peasant Mother-in-law (17)
"It's good to send it to school, if the money is not enough, come to me to get it, I can still get the money for school, and it's good to graduate from elementary school!"
Qiao Mu only then thought that there were still about seven or eight years before the school was closed, and if he hurried to school now, maybe he would have a chance to get a junior high school diploma back.
Wait until the future of class closure, junior high school graduates have the opportunity to take the exam to enter the factory, although it is said that because of the rural hukou opportunity may be a little small, but it is better than not having a junior high school graduation certificate, the slightest chance to come, as long as there is a chance, find a way to carry out activities, it is always possible.
"Mother, I'm so embarrassed to ask for your money!
Lao Liu's family used to be a middle peasant, you don't know, the family is a little bit of a family, and now school is not expensive, it is much cheaper than going to a private school in the past, and now paper and pen are much cheaper than in the past, if it weren't for your trip today, I really didn't think about it, the child has to study. ”
Qiao Hua hurriedly refused.
The Liu family she married was still quite good before, doing a small business, and accumulating a lot of funds, but in four or seven years, a batch of goods were robbed of a batch of goods, and almost lost the family's funds, and in the end there was no way, almost sold all the fields in the family, leaving only three or five acres, so he barely paid off the money owed to others.
But it is precisely because of this that in the 50s, they were not classified as rich peasant landlords, but only divided into middle peasants, who did not need to be criticized, and naturally did not raid their homes, plus the Liu family was timid, and handed over their remaining three acres of land in time, so they still had a little inventory in their hands, but the rest of them were basically things at the bottom of the box, jewelry and gold, these things were not easy to sell, and they did not dare to send them to the bank to exchange money, and even if they had money, they did not have the courage to go to the black market to exchange grain. That's why it looks more down, but it's actually good compared to other families in the village.
"The Liu family still has a bit of a family background?"
Qiao Mu also reacted and asked curiously.
"Yes, there are still sweet potatoes to support us recently, but we are also worried that we will not be able to hold back, so we are thinking about whether to find a way to bring things to the black market to exchange for some food!
I just don't know if gold is good or not.
Mother, you also know that gold is now prohibited from circulating, and gold is not like in the past, it can be used directly as money, and it has depreciated greatly.
So I can't say for sure.
But there is no way, who made my father-in-law worry about the depreciation of the silver dollar at that time, and exchanged the remaining silver dollars at home for gold, who can know that the gold is not allowed to be used now, and we have to go to the bank to exchange it for money to use, but where do we dare to change, if we change, what if we are accidentally treated as a landlord and rich peasant by others!
Alas, the headache is very much! ”
Qiao Hua said that this is also a little worried, although there are still a dozen taels of gold at home, but those gold can't be eaten as food, there is no food to eat, just gold has to starve to death, but now the key is that gold can't be used as money as in the past, and then the market is not like in the past when you want to buy things can buy things.
It's annoying.
"It's okay, you can borrow it from me!
Otherwise, you can also give me a few taels of gold, and I will exchange it for you at the bank price, and maybe you can make a gold bracelet together! ”
Qiao Mu said with a smile.
Of course, she didn't say this to covet the few taels of gold in Qiao Hua's house, there were hundreds of cornucopia in her farm, and those cornucopia did not count the gold, silver and jewelry inside, the cornucopia itself weighed dozens of catties, and it was still pure gold, so there was no need to covet it at all, she just wanted to help her daughter.
After all, those who still have gold stocks at home, the social status of more than ten years ago is generally not too low, either the surname is capital, or the surname land, the situation will inevitably be more difficult, so most people are not willing to send gold to the bank at all, and would rather lose a little more in private, and directly exchange gold with others for what they want.
"This ...... Is this okay? ”
Qiao Hua was also a little moved, she was indeed very bold, if she wasn't forced to do so, she wouldn't have the idea of using gold to exchange things on the black market at all, and now her mother is willing to use the bank's price to recycle gold, how can she not be moved?
"It's okay, who made me your mother!
But I don't have much money in my hand, you change it to one or two taels, it's enough for the time being, and I can't take out more, I heard someone say some time ago, it seems that the gold purchase price in the bank is one hundred and seventy yuan a tael.
We can also press this!
But I'll give you at most two taels of gold, but in fact, one tael is enough for you, and one hundred and seventy yuan is enough for you to use for a while! ”
Of course, Qiao Mu can't afford to change it, but she has to consider whether it is reasonable for her to take out so much money for the sake of her daughter, let her daughter keep some gold to preserve its value. More than 300 yuan can barely be said to be the manuscript fee for more than half a year, but if you take out more than 3,000 yuan, this is not like words.
"Mother, are you serious?
Do you really have that much money in your hands? ”
Qiao Hua's eyes widened, and she looked surprised, just now, she really didn't believe that her mother could have money in her hand that could be exchanged for a tael of gold.
"Of course it's true!
You wait, I'll show you! ”
Qiao Mu glanced at her, immediately turned around to block Qiao Hua's sight, pretended to be from under the quilt on the bed, and actually took out more than two dozen large solidarities from her penguin farm, and shook them twice.
"Look, isn't that it!"
"My mother, mother, you have really made a fortune, this cultural person is different!
Mother, I want to change!
But I don't have it with me now, so I'll go back and get a gold tael!" ”
Qiao Hua didn't really believe that her mother really had money in exchange for gold until this time, and she was suddenly excited, and hurriedly got up to go back to get the gold, as if she was afraid that Qiao Mu would regret it.
"What's the hurry, you get the money back first.
I also brought cornmeal, and I just had to bring it to me when I had time to go back, so there was no need to rush it so far. ”
Qiao Mu's sense of the original girl is not bad, and in the forty-second year, it was also this girl who sent hundreds of catties of food to the original body, and then the original body gave some to the two sons' families, so that their whole family survived.
It can be said that it was Qiao Hua who forcibly resisted the pressure of her mother-in-law above, and spent almost her own body, and finally bought a few hundred catties of food and saved their family.
As he spoke, Qiao Mu had already counted seventeen sheets from the stack of great unity that he had just taken out, and handed it to Qiao Hua happily and neatly.
