Rebirth 1975: My Wife is Love-Brained

Chen Yan was in such a good mood that he didn't even care about drinking a sip of water when he got to the city.

First, I found a place to settle the mule and the cart, then bought a movie ticket and walked inside!

The ticket cost two cents, and Chen Yan felt a little distressed.

He only had ten dollars on him, which was given to him by his wife, so every penny he spent was a penny less.

But for the sake of my own money-making plan, this is the only way.

If you want to do this business, you must take a look at the market. This is called market research. In the future, those big companies will invest a lot of money to do market research and let professional teams do it. For Chen Yan, this market research is quite easy.

After walking around, Chen Yan had basically figured out the situation here.

There are about three hundred seats, but the attendance rate is not very high.

But it’s not a small amount!

There were as many as sixty or seventy people in this scene.

He sat in his seat and watched for a while. When the double-gun Li Xiangyang in the movie began to denounce the enemy with his unique opera singing style, he turned and walked out.

"Comrade, you don't want to watch anymore?" The middle-aged woman who was checking tickets was eating a handful of melon seeds. When she saw Chen Yan coming out, she asked in surprise.

Movie tickets at two cents a piece are not cheap.

When watching a movie, many people will watch the entire ending before leaving reluctantly.

Han Meimei has been working as a movie ticket collector here for a long time, but this is the first time she has seen people leaving after only a few minutes of a movie starting.

"It's too stuffy in there, I can't breathe. Comrade, do you have any water? Can you give me something to drink?" Chen Yan asked in a familiar manner.

Han Meimei looked at the handsome young man and said, "Yes, wait a minute. I'll go find you a teacup over there!"

Turned and walked towards the office in the back.

Soon he came out with a mug of boiled water and handed it to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was really a little thirsty. After gulping down the drink, he stopped calling her comrade and said, "Thank you, sister! You are such a good person. I feel much better now!"

Han Meimei waved her hands a little embarrassedly, "It's okay, it's okay! It's nothing! Nothing else, just a sip of water! Everyone feels uncomfortable sometimes! Do you still want to drink? If you do, I'll pour you another one!"

"Enough, enough! By the way, sister, I see a lot of people bringing food in, and the smell is overwhelming. Doesn't our cinema care about this?" Chen Yan asked tentatively.

"Who cares? Can't you eat something if you're hungry while watching a movie? As long as you don't shout loudly and disturb others, who cares?" Sister Han said nonchalantly.

That’s it!

Chen Yan was secretly delighted!

"Sister, you are such a good person! Thank you so much today!"

"You are quite polite, little comrade!"

After leaving the cinema, Chen Yan drove his cart directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.

These days, you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things.

When Chen Yan went in, many people from nearby villages came with baskets to sell eggs. Seeing this scene, Chen Yan couldn't help but smile.

This is the industry that ordinary people call chicken butt bank!

Due to policy reasons, raising chickens and selling eggs is one of the few legitimate business activities allowed.

However, some strange regulations have emerged in some places, such as keeping three chickens as a social obligation and keeping four chickens as capital.

"Comrade, what would you like to buy?" the salesperson came over and asked.

The attitude is not very good, but it is not bad either.

Chen Yan asked, "How are the rice and sugar sold?"

"Rice is 1.3 cents per pound. If you don't have a ticket, it's 2 cents! Sugar is 78 cents..."

Chen Yan was shocked when he heard what the after-sales staff said!

Rice is fine. As for popcorn, it’s no problem to produce a lot per pound, but this sugar…

He suddenly realized a problem. Sugar was a really scarce commodity these days. It had to be purchased with coupons, and there was not much available throughout the year. Only pregnant women in confinement at home would be willing to get some.

But Chen Yan suddenly asked, "Where's the sugar crystal? Is there any?"

"This has!"

Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief!

"Give me twenty kilograms of rice, and fifty cents of sugar crystals!"

Twenty kilograms of rice. Because Chen Yan did not have enough food coupons, he asked for half a kilogram of vegetable oil, and sugar crystals cost more than six yuan.

He wanted to buy more, but it was really not cost-effective.

Chen Yan started his popcorn business first and talked about other things later.

So far, this is just an idea of ​​his, and it is not certain whether it will work.

After putting twenty kilograms of rice on the leather cart, Chen Yan turned around and left the county town.

By the time we returned to Zhangzitou Village, it was already dark. As soon as we arrived at the village entrance, we saw a figure.

Before Chen Yan could speak, a figure rushed over and it turned out to be Qin Yurou.

"Xiaoyu, why are you here? It's dark now. What if something happens to you?" Chen Yan was startled and asked while grabbing Qin Yurou's hand with heartache.

Qin Yurou whispered, "I'm going to work today. They said you ran away and won't come back. I'm afraid..."

Chen Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also understood Qin Yurou's fragility. He reached out and rubbed Qin Yurou's head, "I won't leave! Not now, and not in the future! After I mailed a letter to my parents, I wandered around the county town. It's a long way and I'll be late if I come back!"

Qin Yurou nodded, and was shocked to find that there was oil and rice in the car.

"Chen Yan, where did you get this thing? It must cost a lot of money, right?"

"I bought it with the money you gave me!" Chen Yan said, "But don't worry, it's not for eating! I know our family's current situation! We can't afford this!"

"Why not buy it to eat? This costs a lot of money." Qin Yurou looked distressed.

Chen Yan smiled and said confidently, "Use it to make money! You gave me ten dollars this morning, and I will make it twenty tomorrow!"

"Ten yuan becomes twenty? Chen Yan, I know our life is hard! We can get by with a few more work points. Our life is much better now than in the past few years! Don't do anything stupid!"

Qin Yurou's first reaction to Chen Yan's words was not excitement or happiness, but fear.

The production team calculated work points, but at the end of the year they didn’t get much money.

Even those factory workers in the city only make a few dollars a month. How is it possible that ten dollars a day can become twenty?

Is Chen Yan going to steal or rob someone?

The more Qin Yurou thought about it, the more scared she became.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on! I'll tell you about this later. I'll return the cart first! Uncle Qi is still waiting!" Chen Yan said to Qin Yurou.

Then Chen Yan gave the things to Qin Yurou and asked her to go home first, while he went to the brigade to deliver the livestock and the cart.

When Chen Yan came back, he found the room pitch dark. He immediately knew what had happened.

It must be what I said that made Qin Yurou uneasy.

Chen Yan decided to talk to his wife about his plan to make money.

Chen Yan pushed the door open and walked in. Sure enough, he saw Qin Yurou curled up on the kang. He walked over and lit the kerosene lamp. "Why don't you light the lamp? Are you still thinking about what I said about making money?"

Qin Yurou hummed, "Chen Yan, I know you want to make some money and live a good life with me, but I'm just afraid! What do you want me to do if something happens to you?"
