FSC [QT] Chapter 86.3

Arc 4: Raising Babies In 60s (59)

What Jin Qiaoqiao said was the pressure of life that he had never thought of before. It seemed that he was really stretched to make money by himself.

After hearing Zhang Youdong’s words, Jin Qiaoqiao felt relieved. She knew that Zhang Youdong would definitely agree in the end.

***

In the end, as Jin Qiaoqiao expected, Zhang Youdong agreed and helped her get a certificate from his work unit. 

This was because Zhang Youdong and the captain of the food factory’s transportation team had been friends for many years, and the transportation team was often on business trips. 

As the captain of the transport team, he had a lot of certificates with the company’s seal. Zhang Youdong was a person he trusted, so he simply gave him one.

But things were still not that simple.

For example, Jin Qiaoqiao had never been to such a far place in this era. 

Everyone said that every inch of land in the south was worth a lot of money, but she didn’t know where was the cheapest and most cost-effective place to buy goods in Shenzhen City. 

Even in this simple era, there were still many scammers. When she went out, she had to beware of these scammers and pickpockets outside.

And how should the goods be sold after being brought back? 

If she did it in a high-profile manner, she would inevitably be targeted by people with ulterior motives. 

You should know that even with the seal of the unit, it was not completely safe. This was just a way to exploit loopholes in the rules. Once reported, there was still a risk of punishment.

So, Jin Qiaoqiao couldn’t bring those things back. 

The best way was to sell them in the provincial capital or the city to reduce the probability of meeting acquaintances as much as possible.

This made the operation much more troublesome.

Jin Qiaoqiao found that she had underestimated the difficulty of doing business. 

It turned out that the easy things described in those period stories were so difficult to implement.

But she had confidence and motivation, and she could endure even if it was very hard.

The day before Jin Qiaoqiao was ready to leave, the Kuang family came back.

With an inexplicable feeling, Jin Qiaoqiao went back to the countryside again, wanting to meet the woman with whom she had exchanged lives.

To be precise, it was the woman whose life was taken away by her, but who lived a more wonderful life.

***

“I still remember when I first came home, you locked me out and slept with the two children. I couldn’t sleep that night.”

Kuang Aijun often carried out missions, and he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives less often than Ah Wu. Most of the time, it was the people from the Kuang family and the Ye family who went to the military region to visit them. 

Later, Kuang Aijun was promoted and assigned to a small building with a yard. The people from the Kuang family and the Ye family would occasionally stay there for ten days or half a month, so the relationship between the relatives was not alienated.

After returning to his hometown after several years, Kuang Aijun was familiar and unfamiliar with everything in front of him. Now he pointed to the bedroom door of the old house and recalled the past.

“I have never tried so hard to please someone in my life, but you are an exception.”

Kuang Aijun couldn’t help laughing. 

At that time, he was really not much better than a lackey.

How time flies. 

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. Recalling the past still makes him feel happy and sweet.

“Who else do you want to please?”

In front of her students, Ah Wu was a kind yet dignified teacher, but in front of Kuang Aijun, she was still the spoiled girl who liked to act coquettishly and occasionally lost her temper. 

She could still have such a mentality at the age of nearly 40. It could be seen that only if she was always spoiled in daily life could she live like a little princess forever.

“I only want to please you. There was only you before, and there will only be you in the future.”

Kuang Aijun held Ah Wu’s hand tightly and did not dare to let go at all.

“Second Brother, why did you and Cao Ni’er come here? Many elders came to see you, and the students Cao Ni’er taught in the Hongxing Commune Primary School heard that Cao Ni’er was back, and they all came to visit.”

Third Grandma Xu came over in a hurry, her face full of joy.

Cao Ni’er, her daughter-in-law, was married to her son. It was twelve years ago that she taught in the commune primary school. But every time she went home, as long as the children happened to be on vacation, they would always come to visit.

With a large group of children, the house was so lively. The most important thing was that it was an honor.

Because of this daughter-in-law, Third Grandma Xu’s prestige in the village was much greater, so how could Third Grandma Xu not like her?

What’s more, things far away are more fragrant than things near. 

Facing the Eldest Daughter-in-law who had always lived under her nose, even if the other party was perfect, there would still be some small rifts between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law occasionally. 

Ye Wu lived far away and could only see her two or three times a year. What kind of conflicts could there be?
