Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 179 The Stepping Stones of the Protagonists in the Period Literature 9

Today she had planned to pick up the money check from home, but it was not yet eight o'clock and the post office was not open yet, so she decided to find a place to have breakfast first.

She knew this wasn't the first time. Although her family had sent her nearly a hundred yuan, she had spent it even faster, leaving her with only twenty yuan. However, thinking her uncle's family was doing well and that they would surely send her a lot of money, she walked into the state-owned restaurant with peace of mind.

She ordered a bowl of plain noodles and a large fried dough stick for herself, and even bought two meat buns for her boyfriend, which cost nearly fifty cents.

While the heroine was still leisurely enjoying breakfast, Su Lan had already gone to the black market. She had read in novels about the period that things here did not require tickets, and they had everything they wanted.

Su Lan took a sip of the thirty-five yuan in her jacket pocket. It was definitely not enough if she wanted to make all the parts for the tiller, so she found an empty alley, took out a mask and transformed herself into a big man, then took out a hundred kilograms of flour from the space, carried it on a shoulder pole and sold it on the black market.

After paying two cents for the stall fee, Su Lan opened one of the bags. Soon someone noticed the white flour here. It looked good and had a fine texture, so someone asked about the price. Su Lan quickly asked Tuanzi to check, and then quoted a price of twenty cents per pound. Seeing that she didn't need a ticket, the customers were happy to pay.

After all the hard work, they only earned 20 yuan. Su Lan was a little disappointed. This amount of income was too little. So she asked Tuanzi to find out if there were any channels to buy gold and antiques.

Because people in that era generally had low living standards and limited incomes, factory workers typically earned only around 20 yuan a month. Therefore, for Su Lan, a profit of 20 yuan was considered a good result, given the high quality of the flour she sold.

Then, Tuanzi used the system's algorithm to find a large pharmacy that was buying ginseng. Su Lan used the mask again to transform into an old man and went to the pharmacy to sell a century-old ginseng, successfully earning 200 yuan.

As her funds gradually accumulated, she began to search for the necessary materials according to the blueprints. To avoid arousing suspicion, she spent a penny to buy a large sack and put the parts she found into it. This way, she could conceal her tracks while also allowing her to build the machine in a logical and logical manner.

After eating and drinking her fill, He Wanyi, the heroine, happily went to the supply and marketing cooperative. She strolled leisurely, her eyes occasionally falling on the dazzling array of goods on the shelves, but because her living expenses had not yet arrived, she could only restrain her desire to buy.

In fact, she had already set her sights on several items, including an exquisite watch. At this moment, immersed in the sweetness of love, she planned to buy the watch as a token of love and give it to her beloved Ning Yuanming.

However, this beautiful fantasy was instantly shattered when she arrived at the post office and received a letter of severance. He Wanyi stared at the envelope with wide eyes in disbelief, then squatted down and read the letter carefully.

She repeatedly confirmed the contents of the letter, and kept muttering in her heart: "How is this possible?" In the previous life, no one knew what her uncle had done, so why was he arrested now?

She began to wonder if the letter she sent to her uncles was intercepted by the post office, leading to the discovery of the matter. She did not care about what her uncles were punished for, but was worried about how she would survive after her parents cut off contact with her and she was penniless.

At present, she only has 40 yuan in her pocket, and it is obviously unrealistic to support herself by working hard to earn work points. After all, she has only completed one-third of her workload this month, and the food allocated at the end of the month will inevitably be limited.

He Wanyi couldn't understand why everything had been going smoothly since her rebirth, but now she had suddenly encountered something like this. Two months ago, she had successfully defeated the scumbag and even brought disgrace upon the woman in her previous life who had caused her boyfriend to cheat on her.

But what about now? She couldn't help but feel a little resentful, but when she thought about the fact that there were only a few years left before the college entrance examination, she cheered up again.

She realized that she could share this information with Ning Yuanming, and even start learning before others, seizing the opportunity. So she stood up, asked for the location of the town's scrap yard, and walked towards it.

At the same time, Su Lan happened to be at the scrap yard. She was arguing fiercely with Old Man Liu, the man guarding the scrap yard, over two tires. It turned out that the scrap yard had a rule that everything taken from there had to be weighed, with a two-cent mark per pound charge.

The two tires Su Lan chose were very large, so Old Man Liu wanted to negotiate the price in a different way, without weighing them. He would charge Su Lan two dollars for each tire.

Of course Su Lan didn't want to suffer any loss, so she talked to the old man for half an hour. At this time, Tuanzi reminded her that the heroine still had ten minutes to arrive at the battlefield.

She could only finish the matter quickly. Using the sack as a cover, Su Lan took out half a bag of candy from the space and said in a gentle voice, "Uncle, take this candy home to sweeten the mouths of your grandchildren. As for the tire, I really want it, and I hope you can give me some convenience."

Old man Liu narrowed his eyes and took Su Lan's candy naturally. "Then let's both take a step back. If you have anything else you want, go in and get it. No matter what it is, it will be included in the two yuan package price. Girl, is this okay with you?"

"Really? If I take a pile of books, does that count?" Su Lan already knew the heroine's intention. Since there was a chance to take the information before her, it would of course be a good idea.

Old man Liu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Everyone here knows that I, an old man, am honest."

Su Lan nodded, and when he stepped into the yard again, he wrapped himself with spiritual power to achieve the effect of invisibility.

"Host, I just scanned the books on the scene and found two sets of college entrance examination materials."

It seems that this is a book specially prepared for the protagonist, so she accepted it first. After Tuanzi's book list was made, Su Lan quickly organized it into two sets of reference books. When she was about to put them all into the space, she suddenly had a good idea.

If there was only one set of reference books, would the heroine still generously share them with Ning Yuanming?

She wanted to see He Wanyi's reaction, so she left one set and took the high school textbooks. It was not a wasted trip. She could also study on her own and take the college entrance examination to bring honor to the Su family.

Just as Su Lan had packed up her things, He Wanyi, who had already negotiated a price with Old Man Liu, also walked into the small courtyard where the sundries were stored, and walked straight towards Su Lan. She had a strong premonition that she could find college entrance examination materials here.

Su Lan folded her hands and watched her find the set of information books she had just distributed without much effort. It was easy for the protagonist to do things, but her halo would be worn away by herself sooner or later.

He Wanyi's plan was to find two sets of information. Now there was only one set, and she was a little anxious to continue searching in the pile of old books.

Su Lan ignored her. After picking up the selected high school textbooks, she quickly walked to the gate of the courtyard to withdraw her spiritual power.

"Oh, you are still a student," Old Man Liu joked.

Su Lan nodded and said, "It's been a year or two since I graduated from junior high school. I didn't continue my studies and now I want to learn something."

Old man Liu muttered a few words about how good it is to read, and helped Su Lan pack the tire into a bag. "If you need anything in the future, tell me, I will definitely keep an eye out for you."

"Okay, thank you first, uncle," Su Lan handed over four dollars with a smile, then picked up a large sack weighing over 100 pounds in front of him and walked out.

Uncle Liu stared at her back in amazement. "My goodness, how come this girl is so strong?"

Su Lan carried it all the way back to the tractor and asked Uncle Wang Gang to help her watch it for a while. She also stuffed a handful of candy into his hand, which made the uncle so happy that he kept praising her for being sensible.
