Siheyuan: Returning from studying abroad, with extraordinary understanding

Lin Changqing left Li Yuncheng's office and felt a little bored.

So I decided to go out for a trip.

It took him one day to finish writing the plan. Considering that he still had to teach Song Jiajia and four other people, he copied it again yesterday.

If they had not finished writing in the afternoon, Lin Changqing planned to give them the plan for reference and study.

In order to cover it up, Lin Changqing returned to the room and took his bag. He put all the money and certificates in his small world.

He also brought the plan with him. Since the space was unlimited anyway, it was just right that he could go out to exchange money, buy seeds, and see if he could find some martial arts books.

After coming out, Lin Changqing didn't know where to go for a moment.

On the street, people are coming and going, and the sounds of hawking are everywhere.

This is completely different from the way he went shopping in later lives.

Although the pedestrian looked thin and pale, his face was full of smiles.

Lin Changqing knew that it was because of liberation and there was no more oppression.

Only when the people live a good life will they be full of smiles.

However, seeing their thin and haggard faces, Lin Changqing felt uncomfortable.

In his previous life, he rarely saw such scenes. He only saw such scenes on TV in extremely poor and backward countries.

Isn’t the Dragon Kingdom now poor and backward?

In his previous life, he only learned about the situation in the early days of the founding of the country through texts and did not feel it deeply. Now that he truly feels it, it is completely different.

The real situation is far more serious than imagined.

Lin Changqing is still unclear about the current prices, but according to his memories from his previous life, the prices at this time are definitely not low.

Since he didn't have much money, he decided to go to the bank and exchange his foreign currency for the local currency.

All the foreign currencies, converted into local currency, would only amount to 500 yuan.

(Note: This book is calculated based on the purchasing power of the second set of RMB. For the convenience of reading, all subsequent currencies are calculated based on this. For the first set, don't worry about it, otherwise it will be explained later, which will cause trouble for reading.)

Since he was back now and would hardly use foreign currency, Lin Changqing changed it into local currency.

After coming out, Lin Changqing went to a nearby grain store to check out the prices of grain.

After entering the first house, Lin Changqing came out not long after staying there.

My goodness, flour costs RMB 1.7 per pound, rice costs RMB 1.5 per pound, miscellaneous grains and coarse grains cost RMB 1.1 per pound, and corn costs RMB 1.8 per pound.

Lin Changqing went to other grain stores to find out, and found that the prices were basically the same, a little more expensive, with flour selling for two yuan per pound.

"Isn't this too expensive?" Lin Changqing sighed, "If this is the case, my money will only last for a few months."

Originally, he thought that five hundred yuan was a lot of money, enough to last for several years, but he didn't expect the price of food to be so high!

Later, he watched the TV series Beast Courtyard and learned about some prices. At that time, the price of grain was very low, just over one cent per pound, and even pork was only about seven cents.

Now that food prices are so high, the price of meat will be even higher.

If you want to live a good life, you still have to make money!

Lin Changqing sighed for a moment and went to find a seed shop.

He has his own little world with him, and as long as he grows food, he will never have to worry about food and drink.

He was not familiar with the street, so he asked a passerby and finally found out where the seed point was.

When he stopped the passerby just now, Lin Changqing actually saw the passerby's frightened eyes, and even spoke in a fearful and timid manner.

After he finished asking, he was about to thank the passerby when he just ran away.

"Am I that scary?" Lin Changqing began to doubt himself.

He knew very well that the passerby behaved like that because he was afraid of him, and not because he had done anything wrong.

Lin Changqing looked at his outfit, a suit and leather shoes, no problem!

He had not wanted to wear a suit, but at the Management Committee he only had one set of military uniform, and the rest were suits.

This time he went out, he planned to buy some clothes.

Come to the seed shop.

This is a state-owned seed store, and there are quite a lot of people coming in.

After Lin Changqing came in, he looked around and found that proof was required when checking out to purchase seeds.

This is a difficult problem, as I don’t seem to have any proof.

Lin Changqing really didn't know that this situation existed.

Suddenly, he thought, aren’t there still private shops?

So he went out.

In fact, he could also take advantage of the state-owned seed store. He had a small world with him, so it was easy for him to collect some seeds without anyone noticing.

But he didn't.

You can’t steal state-owned property, but you can steal private property.

Not much anyway.

Lin Changqing decided to go to a private seed shop to buy some seeds.

After coming out, Lin Changqing accidentally overheard a conversation between two people who had bought seeds.

"I'm afraid the harvest this year won't be very good! It hasn't rained yet, and without water, there won't be much harvest for the crops in the fields."

"We're fine here, you know? I heard that in remote areas, it hasn't rained for a long time. They're already suffering from drought and may even have a total crop failure!"

Hearing this, Lin Changqing immediately went to inquire about the situation.

"Two brothers, is what you said true?"

"No, we didn't say anything!" Seeing Lin Changqing's clothes, the two knew that Lin Changqing was not an ordinary person. They thought he was a government official, so they immediately refused and left quickly.

"This..." Lin Changqing was stunned for a moment.

It happened twice. He didn't understand what he had done to make ordinary people so scared!

Could it be my own clothes?

Looking at his clothes again, Lin Changqing suddenly realized that his clothes were too formal and he was totally not in the same class as ordinary people, so they were afraid.

I thought I was some big shot, so I didn't dare to say anything.

It was the same when he asked for directions before. The passerby thought he was a rich boy and was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he was afraid.

Suddenly, he felt that the people below were having a very hard time.

This is the same as his experience in later life, when people from the lower class come into contact with rich people, they only feel deep inferiority in their hearts.

And fear!

Because it is so easy for rich people to bully ordinary people.

This is the power that dominates people.

If you are not strong, sooner or later you will be like an ordinary person and have no choice but to bow your head when you meet important people or people with money and connections.

Lin Changqing, who had experienced imprisonment, deeply understood the helplessness and sadness of the weak.

How can a life that is out of control be called life? It is just survival, and a miserable survival at that.

If you can't even control your own life, how can you care about others?

Now, even if he knew about the drought, what could he do?

There are so many professionals, it's not right for an ordinary person like him to get involved.

Thinking of this, Lin Changqing suddenly realized that he was a little too idealistic. When one's personal ability is insufficient, one should not cause trouble.

The previous lessons were enough.

The most urgent task is to find a martial art.

Improve his physical fitness and strength so that he can take control of his life.

Only in this way can his understanding come into play and help the country. Otherwise, how can he deserve the word "against the will of heaven"?

As for why he didn't go to learn from a master now, firstly, he wouldn't stay here for long, so he could consider returning to Sijiu City.

Second, he didn't have enough money. He still understood the principle that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts.

Otherwise, why do others practice martial arts?

If you don't have a certain level of financial strength to buy medicine, your body will be ruined by training.

He still wanted to see if he could find a real secret book.

In his previous life, he had seen a video that said some Taoist secret books were lost in the wild, and he wanted to see if he had this opportunity.

At that time, the movement had not yet started, and many books contained authentic content, not the abridged versions produced in later generations.

If there is a chance, Lin Changqing plans to collect it.

He has unlimited storage space anyway.

"Now, let's go and get some good things!" With this idea in mind, Lin Changqing walked towards his destination.
