Chapter 140 Buying Stamps

This batch of goods earned a total of [amount] yuan.

When the young man who came to collect the goods arrived, he thought it would be the same as last time, with at most a few large items and the rest probably just some rice, flour, and grains. He didn't expect the quality of this batch of goods to be so good that it was no longer suitable for sale in the county.

They'll definitely have to ship the goods to the city and province. Not to mention the big items, just those dresses, hair ties, and hair clips will probably be snapped up in the city's black market. The styles are much better than those sold in state-run department stores.

"These things shouldn't be from here, right?"

The young man asked with some unease, having followed the old man for over a year and never seen such fine goods before.

After a few seconds of silence, the humanoid figure took out a piece of paper from its pocket and unfolded it, on which was written "Guangdong Province, Hong Kong City".

"No wonder. I've heard that things over there are quite different from what we have here, especially in Hong Kong, where they can make even a simple dress into something fancy."

The boy chuckled and patted the humanoid on the shoulder. "Alright, brother, we'll take this shipment. If you have any more of this quality in the future, just bring us whatever you want, we'll take it all."

After the boy finished speaking, he turned around and waved to the people behind him. Then several tall, burly men came out, each carrying a sack filled with cash.

When they arrived, the old man had already instructed them to bring a full 20,000 yuan, which would be enough to cover the cost of this batch of food.

The boy took out 2,887 yuan from one of the sacks, and then took out a small cloth bag from his satchel and handed it to the humanoid: "Here are the remaining receipts, which are used to make up for the receipts needed for those big items. They are all commonly used receipts, and there are also a few national unified grain coupons. You can use them without worry."

The humanoid nodded, put the small cloth bag containing the receipts into his pocket, then picked up several sacks with both hands, turned around, and quickly went up the mountain.

Bai Nuo picked up the humanoids halfway, then chose a secluded spot to emerge from the space, rode his bicycle back to the Qishui Brigade with a basket on his back.

"Hey, Little Bai, the educated youth, is back. It's so convenient to have a bicycle here. We don't even have to wait for a horse-drawn carriage."

As soon as Bai Nuo rode her bicycle into the village, she was spotted by several elderly women at the village entrance, who all looked at her with envy on the women's bicycle she was riding.

Only the brigade leader and secretary of their brigade had bicycles, and Fang, a educated youth in the educated youth compound, also had one. They were all common 28-inch bicycles. Who would have thought that this young educated youth, Xiaobai, would ride back a bicycle as soon as he arrived in the countryside? It was a women's bicycle that was only sold in the city.

If you bring a car as a dowry when you go home to get a wife, your husband's whole family will look at you with more respect.

Bai Nuo smiled slightly, nodded to the few elderly women he didn't know well that evening, and pedaled his bicycle so fast that he was gone in the blink of an eye, giving the elderly women no chance at all.

"Tch, what's with that girl riding so fast? I wanted to see what she bought in her basket." One of the middle-aged women, with dark skin and a slightly sharp appearance, curled her lip at Bai Nuo's back.

"If you ask me, among the female educated youth in this compound, Bai is the one with the best conditions. I heard she even has a sewing machine in her room, even if it's secondhand, it's still better than nothing."

"And here's another bicycle. She also works as a stable manager in the animal husbandry team, earning a lot of work points every day. She has so much free time; if she were to marry into any family, she'd have plenty of free time to cook and do chores at home, plus such a large dowry. Any family that marries such a girl would be incredibly lucky!"

The middle-aged woman became increasingly jealous as she spoke, as if Bai Nuo had already found someone to marry.

An elderly woman who had been silently standing nearby lowered her head slightly, her eyes fixed on the direction the young educated youth had left, her gaze flickering slightly.

"You make it sound so good, what, you have other ideas? I seem to remember your son was already engaged a long time ago, and the other one is still just a little kid." An older woman picking green beans on the other side teased the other, her eyes filled with mockery.

"Tch, my son is engaged to the family of the workshop foreman at the county sugar factory. My in-laws are proper city folks. Those educated youths may sound nice, but their grain rations are still in our countryside, and they eat country grain. It's uncertain whether they'll ever have a chance to return to the city. No matter how good their conditions are, they're still country educated youths. My son wouldn't be interested in them."

The middle-aged woman who spoke first had just been full of jealousy, but now she looked arrogant. After speaking, she picked up her basket and swayed away.

The group of people who had been chatting together stared speechlessly at the departing person's back, and a few of the hot-tempered ones rolled their eyes at him.

"What's wrong with Lao Wu's family? Ever since her son found a girlfriend from the city, she's been looking down on everyone like she's got eyes on the top of her head. Her daughter-in-law is so plain-looking, not even as appealing as my porridge in the morning. All she has is a father who's a team leader at the factory, and she's always showing off like that. I don't know what's wrong with her!"

"That's right, she looks down on that naive educated youth. Does she really think no one can see the jealousy on her face just now?"

"Just wait and see, her family is going to cause trouble. I heard that her daughter-in-law is not easy to get along with. She's been spoiled rotten by her family and couldn't find a partner in the county, so she came to our village to find one. Things are going to get interesting from now on."

They chatted for a while longer in small groups, and when it was almost time to make dinner, they got up to go home.

"Hey, when did Old Xu's in-laws leave? Did any of you see them?"

"I didn't notice, I think we followed the fifth brother's family back home."
