Chapter 537 Buying School Uniforms

Whether it was the Tao family, the Zhou family, or the Tang family, they all made preparations in advance, and everyone subconsciously kept a low profile and remained silent.

Even Tao Qing passed the exam smoothly, resigned from the school, and joined a publishing house as an intern editor.

June is graduation season, and Tao Zui Tao Ran has successfully graduated from the research institute and entered a military-industrial classified unit.

The original garden was a military academy, so the impact was minimal. Zhou Yue, Zhou Xing, and Niu Feng were in the army, so it had not yet affected them.

The first places to descend into chaos were naturally the big cities. Tao An, who was studying at a university in the provincial capital, felt this deeply and instinctively avoided anyone wearing a red armband.

Tang Cuifeng and Tang Cuilan successfully obtained their primary school graduation certificates. Although the college entrance examination has been suspended, they can still attend middle school.

The two were initially hesitant about whether to go, but Cuihua made the decision immediately.

“Go ahead, why don’t you go? You’ve been accepted into the township high school, that’s a good thing. Go to school first, don’t worry about anything else.”

Given her limited resources, she must cherish the existing learning environment and make the most of each day. It's not too late to stop when she can no longer continue.

The house in Taoyuan Village was built, and new furniture was made. It was aired out for more than half a year. When spring arrived, Cuihua and Zhai Sanhe moved in.

Cuifeng and Cuilan were on summer vacation, and Cuihua didn't ask them to take care of the child. Mainly, the child had gotten used to the nanny, and it would be inconvenient for both the adults and the child to switch between them.

So naturally, the two sisters worked during the day and studied at home in the evening, while also occasionally tending to the vegetables planted in their two yards.

If Tao Changyi didn't have time to go home to get the freshly picked vegetables, they would deliver them to him by bicycle, including to Cuihua's place.

Aside from occasionally indulging in a little wine, the elderly couple's health was generally under control. They had a series of minor ailments, but these were all chronic and could be managed with medication.

"My daughter is destined for great things; we can't hold her back or drag her down!"

Look at their awareness! If Xiao Jiu heard this, she would definitely turn into a little crybaby. These are her beloved grandparents!

No one in the family knew where she had gone or when she would return; they could only anxiously wait and hope every day…

——

The person they were keeping an eye on was now extremely busy. She hadn't expected that the Japanese not only loved sake but also red wine.

In this Western restaurant, if you're quick-witted enough to meet a customer's needs in the shortest time, you can earn a good amount in tips and extra income.

The food is especially good every day. She has never eaten Western food since she was a child. She can have some here from time to time, which is enough to meet her protein intake for a week.

However, only the steaks in Western food could interest her; she would get tired of other fried foods after eating them for a while.

Chinese food is still the best. You can eat it all the time and never get tired of it. You can have three different meals a day and still not eat the same thing twice. You might not be able to eat your way through the whole country in a year.

She's only been here a few months, and she's already starting to miss the taste of home.

There are many noodle shops, but she doesn't have the money to go in. She has so many supplies, but it's really frustrating.

I didn't expect to get off work so late that day, it was almost 1 a.m. I originally wanted to find a safe place to enter the space.

As a result, I was surrounded by three drunkards. Hearing their rude tone, I was reminded of the women and children who were massacred years ago.

He was instantly furious. Taking advantage of the dark and deserted night, he took the three of them into his spatial storage and gave them three peanuts.

She was overjoyed to find over 300,000 yuan in cash during the body search.

It was like a pillow coming when you're sleepy; one of the biggest bastards had clearly just received his salary, and there was a wad of cash in the envelope in his briefcase.

The three of them together made a total of 360,000 yuan. They're rich!

After getting the money, they stripped the six corpses naked and threw them into the sea.

They also used the keys they had to find three bicycles.

After the suit was taken off and cleaned at a dry cleaner, it was sold directly to a second-hand store.

As a white-collar worker, the clothes and shoes were of decent quality, yet they sold for a total of 50,000 yen, which truly surprised her.

"It's so valuable, thank goodness I didn't throw the person away with it."

With money, one can eat delicious food. Thus, during the day, taking advantage of the opportunity to learn about local specialties, one can travel to various places to enjoy the pleasure of food.

I tried almost every kind of food except sashimi, including teppanyaki, sushi, salad, miso soup, and ramen.

Each restaurant has its own unique features, and the food is truly delicious, but the prices are not low either. Any dish with a touch of meat can cost over a thousand yuan.

This was in the mid-1960s. No wonder their consumption level kept rising and never came down. This shows it.

However, Xiao Rizi really loves eel, and you can find all kinds of eel dishes everywhere.

They also like to eat beef, but she can't stand raw beef salad. This kind of raw food is only eaten during wilderness survival training.

She would never eat anything raw if it could be cooked; the thought of parasitic diseases made her scalp tingle.

Xiao Jiu only worked for a month, but she earned a total of 90,000 yuan in salary and commission.

The remaining time wasn't wasted either; after traveling to Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya for ten days, school basically started.

She especially wanted to see what other places, particularly Hiroshima and Kawasaki, would look like twenty years after the bombing!

——

At sixteen, in the prime of her adolescence, Xiao Jiu's appearance wasn't bad by Japanese standards. When she first arrived, some of the male classmates even wrote her little notes.

However, he was later influenced by her aloof nature and gradually gave up on his plan to befriend her.

Unexpectedly, after a holiday, they came up to her again and complimented her on how much prettier she looked after getting a haircut.

Yes, on the eve of the start of the school term, she went to get a student haircut with bangs, and looked more well-behaved and fairer than last semester.

Because of school regulations, she had just arrived last semester and hadn't fully adapted yet, and she didn't have the money to get a haircut.

She didn't need the teacher to remind her this semester; she went to get a haircut herself, and after the haircut, she felt more natural and professional.

The girl who was invisible last semester suddenly became beautiful, attracting the attention of the boys in the class. How could the girls not notice?

"Jinghe, you've changed to a new school uniform?"

Xiao Jiu wore a second-hand school uniform last semester, and because she was afraid of communicating, she always kept her head down to minimize her presence.

So neither the boys nor the girls noticed her. She had earned some money this semester, so why would she wear a second-hand school uniform?

I bought two brand-new school uniforms directly from the shop at the school gate. It's a legitimate shop open to the public.

One set costs 20,000 yen, two sets cost 40,000 yen, which is probably a month's salary for someone at the bottom of society, so it's really not cheap.

No wonder so many students wear secondhand clothes, so when they suddenly saw her wearing a new school uniform, some people started to feel resentful.

"Where did you get the money to buy school uniforms?"

She looked up at the girl whose conditions were similar to hers; it seemed that she was the one with the worst conditions before, so she hadn't been noticed.

After all, less than a third of the students in the class wore second-hand school uniforms, and there were very few girls. If she suddenly changed to a new one, how could the other girl stand it?

Regardless of politeness, he immediately launched into a sharp challenge: "Say something!"
