After leaving the guard's office with the basket on his back, Ji Yuanhai did not leave immediately. Instead, he chatted with Uncle Zhao for a while under the shade of a tree not far from the entrance of the family courtyard.

Ji Yuanhai said he would buy more popsicles, but Uncle Zhao was not happy and would not allow him to pay for it.

Ji Yuanhai could guess what Uncle Zhao meant and didn't insist anymore.

The two of them sat under the shade of a tree, with no one else around, and chatted randomly. Uncle Zhao was talking about a bad guy who was so extravagant that he rubbed his buttocks with white-flour steamed buns...

Ji Yuanhai couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: How could there be such a thing? What has happened to spreading rumors?

"Uncle Zhao, it's already late at this time. It's noon. How about going to eat?"

Ji Yuanhai said.

Uncle Zhao waved his hand: "What do you know? This is the best time to sell popsicles!"

"Besides, you just eat when you want to eat. Why are you calling me? You still want to treat me to a meal?"

Ji Yuanhai said seriously: "I really want to treat you to a meal. Thank you very much for your help."

"If it hadn't been for you last time, where would I have met Uncle Dong and where would I have entered the family home?"

Seeing that he really wanted to treat the guests to dinner, Uncle Zhao burst out laughing: "Young man, I said you were smart, but you are not so smart in this matter!"

"I want to really do your best and help you?"

"Okay, okay, grab a popsicle to eat on the way, hurry up and leave! Don't delay me selling popsicles!"

After speaking, he opened the thick quilt and handed a popsicle to Ji Yuanhai.

Ji Yuanhai wanted to pay, but Uncle Zhao pushed his hand away: "No, no!"

"I'm asking you to do it! You go about your business, and I'll do mine too!"

Ji Yuanhai took the popsicle with a smile: "Okay, uncle, you are busy!"

The two looked at each other, smiled, and nodded.

Then Ji Yuanhai ate popsicles and carried a basket on his back, walking away under the hot midday sun.

After turning a few corners, he opened the handkerchief given by the silver-haired woman - Ji Yuanhai's expression was not too surprising.

This time Mr. Wang gave it to him. He estimated it to be more than 100 yuan just now.

Look carefully, there is a full one hundred and fifty yuan, which is a monthly salary of fifty yuan!

The last time it was three hundred yuan, it was Ji Yuanhai who saved Mr. Wang's lifeblood, a precious Song plum orchid.

That orchid seedling is worth seventy or eighty yuan, and it is not easy to grow it. Moreover, because Mr. Wang is focused on it, it is very special.

Because of this, the three hundred yuan Ji Yuanhai received was actually double money to save lives and heal the wounded - the value of Song Mei's orchids and Mr. Wang's heartache.

But this time there was no urgency as last time. Ji Yuanhai was just doing the work of a gardener and a gardener. He didn't have the idea of ​​getting too much money.

But to my surprise, I got another hundred and fifty yuan.

As for the "residual reward" that Mr. Wang repeatedly emphasized for the last time he treated Song Mei, Ji Yuanhai resolutely rejected it several times, and Mr. Wang no longer mentioned it.

The main reason is that Ji Yuanhai doesn't want to make a one-time deal, let alone talk about money with someone like Mr. Wang...

Today Ji Yuanhai has further interactions with Mr. Wang, Uncle Dong, and Uncle Zhao. If it is just to accumulate money quickly, there is no need for him to do such a thing. When Mr. Wang proposed Song Meilanhua's reward last time, he was completely You can agree to it.

But Ji Yuanhai will definitely not be treated so affectionately by Mr. Wang.

From now on, it will just be about working to make money, and no one will discuss friendship with him and let him eat.

Ji Yuanhai put away his handkerchief and went to the bookstore first to buy books needed for the college entrance examination, including Chinese, mathematics, history, politics, and geography.

This is a book required for the liberal arts college entrance examination. It is the same as the later subjects except that it does not have English.

Later generations had liberal arts and science subjects, and the current college entrance examination also has them, but they are slightly different from later generations.

For example: On the same Chinese language paper, if you take the liberal arts paper, you will have to answer the questions "1,234,568", and if you take the science paper, you will have the questions "1,234,57".

Foreign languages ​​such as English are additional points.

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling also prefer liberal arts rather than science and engineering.

Even though Era Sea is reborn with memories, it has relatively extensive knowledge, but there are also complicated problems. You have to patiently sort them out according to the current trend of the college entrance examination and the language of the era, in order to get good scores.

There is no good in being too high-spirited.

I bought books and some daily necessities from Jiyuanhai Market and put them in baskets.

After that, Ji Yuanhai arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Walking to the county town and back to Xiaoshantun was too time-consuming. He wanted to buy a bicycle.

With a bicycle, not only Ji Yuanhai, but also Lu Heling can go out easily with a bicycle.

Entering the supply and marketing cooperative, Ji Yuanhai asked, and the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative gave a cold and stern reply.

Bicycle prices range from 120 to 160, and a bicycle ticket is required.

Facing such a cold and hard answer, Ji Yuanhai felt that even the heat outside was not that hot anymore.

"Hospitality" on the wall - who is this written for?

Besides, at this price, if I try to change my bicycle ticket, I may not be able to buy a bicycle with the 150 yuan I just got plus my original savings.

It’s better to wait until you have a bicycle ticket before buying a bicycle.

However, it seems that bicycle tickets will be canceled this year or next year, right? Why do the supply and marketing cooperatives in Qingshan County still need bicycle tickets to buy bicycles?

Ji Yuanhai, carrying a basket on his back, left Qingshan County on foot and returned to Xiaoshantun.

After spending some time on the road, we reached the ditch outside Xiaoshantun Village. Ji Yuanhai caught a fish and held it in his hand. It was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

When I returned to my home in the south of the village, the production team had not finished work yet.

Ji Yuanhai put down the basket and put the money away, and put the books on the cabinet. The daily necessities he just bought were placed on the table and next to the stove.

There was nothing going on, and there was no sound except for the chirping of cicadas. Ji Yuanhai let some branches of the fence grow, firmly anchoring the ground, and he was no longer afraid of wind and rain.

Then I planted some cucumbers, peppers, beans, eggplants and other vegetables.

After that, Ji Yuanhai began to carry the fish to a nearby puddle to kill them, remove their gills, and scrape their scales. While he was doing this, the whistle for the production team to call it a day was heard in the distance.

Jiyuanhai killed the fish and marinated it in a basin to taste.

I thought Lu Heling would come back soon, and by then it would be marinated enough to make a good meal - the stewed fish that grandma made before was not done in this way.

Unexpectedly, more than half an hour later, Lu Heling didn't come back. Ji Yuanhai covered the killed fish, pressed a stone on top, locked the door, closed the fence, and walked into the village.

I saw Liu Xianglan from a distance and asked about Lu Heling's whereabouts.

Liu Xianglan replied that Ji Yuanhai's mother seemed to have encountered something, and Lu Heling went home to see what was going on.

Ji Yuanhai was a little surprised.

Today I went to the county town. My uncle in Chenlou Village was getting married and had a banquet. My mother went to Chenlou Village.

Then, what happened? Even Lu Heling went back to Ji's house to visit her.
