Chapter 15: Letter from the Eldest Sister
Qiao Lian didn't look at the letter on the road, she didn't know if the original owner could read or not, so in order to prevent revealing the stuffing, she simply waited until she went home to open the letter.
In addition to the two pieces of stationery, there were 50,000 yuan in the envelope.
Nowadays, the old version of the coin is still used, and the old value is still used, and the denomination is relatively large.
It wasn't until five or five years later that the second version of the renminbi came out, and 10,000 yuan of old currency was exchanged for one dollar, and this money was real.
Of course, most of the daily necessities in the countryside are self-sufficient, and the cost is not large, and 50,000 yuan is also a lot of money for ordinary people.
Qiao Lian took the 50,000 yuan and felt strange, her mother and brother had always been the masters of picking money from their sisters, when did they become so generous? Actually sent her five dollars?
Unfolded the letter and looked at it, and then I understood, it turned out that this letter was not sent by my brother, but by my eldest sister.
The eldest sister Chen Qiaojuan is also a hard-working person and has been married three times.
The first time I married was a baby since I was a child, and the man couldn't round the house, so he was tortured in that family for a year and was sold by the man.
Sold to a large family in Fusong, and worked as a daughter-in-law for a man in his thirties who was blind with one eye and a lame leg.
Later, the family received news that the old lady of the Chen family had sued and sued in the past, and she was finally freed from that family.
But the lawsuit was won, but the mother and daughter had no money to go home, there was no way, after being introduced by others, the eldest sister Qiaojuan married directly there.
Fortunately, the person who married this time is good, honest and capable, the family conditions are very good, and the eldest sister can also do it, and the small life is prosperous.
The old lady of the Chen family saw that it was better to live a richer life than this, so she simply came back and led her son and daughter-in-law to go over.
In the letter, the eldest sister said that she already knew about the death of the old couple of the Qu family, so Qiaolian simply packed up the things at home and took the two children over to forget it.
I don't know how many times stronger it is than Shijiagou over there, but there are relatives in front of me to take care of it in the past, and it is always much stronger than here.
To be honest, Qiao Lian is still full of enthusiasm for the eldest sister's proposal, Shijiagou is too remote and poor, and it is really not a good place.
Especially now that she has offended the Jiang family again, don't look at what she said in front of the Jiang family's mother-in-law, she is actually quite worried about the Jiang family's revenge.
Not to mention anything else, she still has two children, in case the Jiang family really holds a grudge against her and uses some despicable means behind her back, no matter how powerful she is, she can't deal with a large family.
But there is no hurry at the moment, even if she wants to pass, she has to wait for the snow to fall and nothing can be done, she leads the child over to see the situation first.
If it's really good over there, then simply move your hukou over there and settle down there.
If it's over there, it's just a matter of going over to visit relatives and coming back before the spring of the next year.
The main thing is that all those things in the forest haven't been brought back, so many good things that can be exchanged for points, it would be a pity to wait for the snow to be buried in the ground.
At present, the most important thing is to accumulate as many points as possible, and it is said that there will be rewards when the points reach a certain amount, and she wants to know what rewards will be given.
In fact, if you think about it, this point is equal to money, and if you have money, you have to buy daily necessities.
She is now exchanging things from the mountains for points, and points for daily necessities, which is more cost-effective than going out to buy them, why not take the opportunity to save more?
In the future, I will find some way to sell some of the things that I have exchanged for points, and I will have living money in my hand, and no matter where I am, I can still live well.
Especially in this year, there is no unified purchase and sale at present, and private private trading is not yet restricted, and it is difficult to buy things after the new policy is implemented by the state.
So think about it, with such a system by your side, you don't know how comfortable your life is.
Be sure to save more points and replace everything you can exchange.
Having made up her mind, Qiao Lianke will not be idle in the future.
The food at home is not in a hurry, she slowly picks up little by little, and she leads the two children to her own forest every day, and pulls all the things that can be used home.
In fact, it is not only Qiaolian who does this, but also every family.
Strange to say, most of the people here in Shijiagou plant pear trees, and they don't sell pears when they bear them.
Of course, it can't be sold, and every year when the pears are ripe, they are picked and eaten at home.
There are many varieties of pears here, such as perfume pears, flat-top incense, sharp sour, and frozen pears.
Each one has a different flavor, you can peel it to make pear lumps and leave it for steaming in winter, and some can be stored for a long time.
The most special thing is the frozen pear, this is not the frozen pear that was frozen out of the apple pear in later generations, this is a special variety.
Eating it in autumn is simply sour and astringent, but when you put it on the outside, it is frozen and melted and then eaten, and the inside is full of sweet pear juice, and the pear flesh is snow-white and delicate, not to mention how good the taste is.
In winter, whether it's hospitality or home-eating, it's all good things, but now most of them are still self-sufficient, and the small life is comfortable.
Not to mention the wild chestnuts in the mountains, which can withstand hunger.
Nowadays, every household has not enough food to eat, so pick up some more and go home, grind it into flour and mix it with cornmeal to make a nest, which is fragrant and sweet and delicious.
No one is stupid, they have it in their own forest, why don't they pick it up?
There is also wild hawthorn, which is picked up and scalded with hot water, squeezed out the seeds inside, and then dried in the sun, and it is also beautiful to grab a handful as a snack in winter.
So when it's not busy after the autumn harvest, everyone goes to their own forests to pick fruits.
Therefore, Qiaolian's actions did not arouse the suspicion of others, the big guys are the same, they are busy, how can they have time to suspect others?
So Qiaolian's mother and son went to the forest every day with a basket on their backs, and although the two babies were small, they were not tired at all.
The mother and son are like squirrels stockpiling food for the winter, carrying all kinds of edible things to the house one by one.
Under such busy work, Qiaoyun's points in the system have increased exponentially, and in less than half a month, the points have grown from 10,000 to more than 20,000, which is a little short of the 30,000 points that have been upgraded.
Qiao Lian looked at the number of points, not to mention how happy, as long as she worked hard, she could get the upgrade reward, how good?
Of course, with such a busy life, Qiao Lian basically didn't have time to go out and walk around, and she almost didn't know what was going on outside Shijiagou.
"Is my nephew and daughter-in-law at home?"
At noon that day, Qiao Lian and the children had just come back and entered the house, and before they could cook on the fire, they heard someone at the gate greet them.
Qiao Lian glanced out, it was two forty or fifty-year-old mothers-in-law, standing at the gate with a smile on their faces, looking into the courtyard.
Qiao Lian didn't recognize those two people, but since they came, they had to let people come in and talk.
So Qiao Lian hurriedly walked out and stepped forward with a smile, "Are the two aunts here to find me?" Something? ”
