Rebirth 1975: My Wife is Love-Brained

At the price of ten cents a pack, Chen Yan’s income has reached ten yuan!

However, since some people offered various tickets, Chen Yan accepted them all. Anyway, in this day and age, it is better to have a ticket than no ticket!

There are many things you can’t buy without tickets even if you have money!

But now our family is really poor and we have nothing.

To improve life at home, we need to buy a lot of things, and these tickets will be useful.

This was also what Chen Yan had planned from the beginning.

After coming out, he took inventory.

Eight dollars and seventy cents, and the rest were miscellaneous bills such as food coupons.

At this moment, Chen Yan let out a long breath!

This is his first pot of gold after his rebirth!

For now, my idea is correct!

Actually, I brought a little less today. According to the situation just now, Chen Yan felt that he could sell another thirty or fifty bags.

"About 150 bags per movie! The cinema shows two movies a day, so 300 bags should be sold! Thirty dollars a day in gross profit!"

Although one pound of corn produces one pound of popcorn, the popcorn that Chen Yan wrapped in newspaper weighed about two ounces! He could sell it for fifty cents.

This profit is simply incredible.

Looking at the wealth of about ten yuan in his hand, Chen Yan's heart was filled with excitement. The good life that he promised to Qin Yurou was coming step by step.

Today is the first day, just to try out his skills, Chen Yan decided to bring 300 bags of popcorn tomorrow and sell them in both the morning and afternoon! In this way, after deducting the cost, there is still a profit of more than 20 yuan a day, which is equivalent to a month's salary for an ordinary worker!

For a moment, Chen Yan was full of fighting spirit!

After going out, Chen Yan found his pickup truck and rushed directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When he pushed the door open and walked in, it happened to be the salesperson from yesterday.

"Comrade, you're here again! What do you want to buy today?"

These days, no one has much money, and few people go to the supply and marketing cooperative for two consecutive days.

Moreover, Chen Yan bought 20 kilograms of white rice yesterday, which left a deep impression on her!

"Yes, it's me again! Comrade, get me two new towels, a bar of soap, and two wash basins. Also, get me a pound of meat, a pound of white sugar, a pound of brown sugar, two boxes of malted milk, a box of vanishing cream... Oh, and get me half a pound of loose liquor!"

Chen Yan said a lot in one breath.

Although not much is required for each item, but when you add it all up, it’s not a small amount!

The salesperson was stunned!

"Comrade, is there going to be a wedding in your family?" She widened her eyes and asked subconsciously.

In this era of material scarcity, people buy things one by one and only use a little after a long time. Everyone is poor! In her opinion, if it weren't for the marriage proposal, why would there be a need for so many things?

However, the next moment, Chen Yan said calmly, "No, it's nothing for my own use at home!"

It’s nothing? It’s nothing?

"By the way, comrade, how much is this?"

"Wait a minute, let me calculate, the total is six dollars and forty!" the salesperson said hurriedly.

Chen Yan quickly paid the money, moved the things to the pickup cart outside, and then drove the cart slowly towards the village.

The salesperson was left behind, looking at the generous young man outside the door with a resentful look on his face.

"You're buying vanishing cream for your family? Could it be that you have a wife? Oh, how come I can't find such a good family?"

Her family used their connections to arrange a job for her as a salesperson at a supply and marketing cooperative. She usually thought it was quite fashionable, but now, she suddenly felt that this job was not so attractive!

It was mid-afternoon when Chen Yan returned to the village.

Qin Yurou had gone to work in the fields and had not returned yet, so Chen Yan went home to unload his things before driving the car to the production team's livestock shed.

"Uncle Qi, I'm back!" Chen Yan greeted Uncle Qi with a smile.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Uncle Qi asked with a smile while smoking his pipe.

Chen Yan smiled and said, "If nothing happened, I came back early! By the way, Uncle Qi, this is for you, as a gift to you!"

After saying that, he handed over the half-pound of liquor in the bottle.

"Oh, this is a good thing, but I, Chen Zhiqing, can't accept it!" Uncle Qi waved his hands quickly.

Chen Yan said, "Uncle Qi, I've been out a lot these past few days, and you've been taking care of this big animal! This is a little gift from me, please accept it!"

"That... OK! I'll take it then!" Uncle Qi then opened the bottle of liquor with a smile, then took a sip, with a look of intoxication on his face.

"Uncle Qi, you take a rest first. I'll go cut some grass for the animals!"

Chen Yan took a sickle and went to a distant canal. He ran back and forth several times to cut some grass, then cut it with a grass cutter. He was busy until the evening before he finished.

At night, Uncle Qi would stay here so that he could look after the livestock.

"Uncle Qi, I'll go back first! I may need the car these days, so please take care of it!" Chen Yan said to Uncle Qi.

"It's okay! I can take care of these animals! If you have any problems, just go ahead and do your thing. I will handle the team!" Uncle Qi said with a smile.

Only then did Chen Yan turn around and go home.

As a result, before I reached the door, I saw Qin Yurou standing at the door looking around with an anxious look on her face.

"Xiaoyu, are you off work? Why don't you take a break? What are you doing here?" Chen Yan walked over and asked Qin Yurou while holding her hand.

Qin Yurou turned pale, and her hand that was holding Chen Yan was shaking a little. She looked around to see if there was anyone around, and then lowered her voice and said to Chen Yan, "Chen Yan, there's a weasel in our house!"

"What?" Chen Yan was stunned.

"A weasel! There are so many precious things in the house. I heard from my mother that a long time ago, a weasel would send gifts to a family it targeted, and that family would be in trouble..."

Chen Yan's expression suddenly turned strange.

"Is it a washbasin, soap, pork, vanishing cream, and egg cakes..."

"How did you know?" Qin Yurou exclaimed and looked up at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan laughed loudly and pulled Qin Yurou into the house. "Because I am the weasel you mentioned! I bought the things!"

"You bought it? Where did you get the money? This... costs a lot of money. Didn't you spend most of the ten dollars buying rice yesterday?" Qin Yurou breathed a sigh of relief, then asked worriedly.

She was worried that Chen Yan had done something illegal.

Chen Yan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten what I did today?"

"You went to the county town. Hey, did you really sell out all the popcorn?"

Chen Yan nodded, "I sold them all! I made some money! I thought about how you've suffered with me for all these years, so I'll definitely give you a good meal if I make some money! Let's stew some pork and steam some rice tonight!"

Qin Yurou's eyes suddenly turned red.

Is this what happiness feels like?

After being married for so long, everyone feels like a fool.

But why...I feel so happy?
