Liu Jun followed the president to the office. On the table was a large black suitcase. The president opened it and found fifty neatly packed bundles of Great Unity.

Is this a bank robbery?

"This, this, where does all this money come from?" Liu Jun looked at his second daughter in surprise. His daughter always gave him surprises or shocks when he least expected.

"Calm down, calm down, it's not much money, only 50,000 in total." Liu Xia Lian said with a grin.

"What do you mean by 50,000 only? Do you know how much I earn a year? I only make a little over 500 a year."

Liu Xia Lian chuckled: "We both serve the people, but the nature of our work is different, so there is no comparison. I am a herder in the mountains. I have a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, right?"

The teller quickly brought the receipt and asked Liu Xia Lian to fill it out, and kept recommending a five-year deposit to him because the deposit would earn 10,000 yuan in interest over five years.

Liu Xia Lian kept shaking her head: "Current account, current account, I only want current account, I can use it anytime."

Liu Jun reminded: "The bonus from the police station should be coming soon. The prisoner Liu mentioned the day before yesterday has been transferred to the procuratorate. It's several thousand yuan, enough for you to spend. You should put the 50,000 yuan in a fixed deposit. The annual interest is very high."

President Zhang then remembered the woman who caught the criminal. She was very skilled. He didn't expect it to be Liu Xia Lian. Fortunately, the teller didn't go too far.

Liu Xia Lian clearly remembered that the hundred-yuan banknotes would be issued in a few months. By then, prices of all kinds of goods would rise, and workers' wages would also increase significantly. Moreover, with the development of reform and opening up, interest rates could not keep up with the rate of inflation, so saving money would naturally be unreliable.

"No, just for the duration of my stay. Dad, you can go get busy. Don't let your boss find out that you've skipped work and deduct your salary. I won't make it up to you."

Liu Jun shook his head helplessly, his daughter had grown up and was no longer obedient to management.

"Well, you decide your own affairs. Just don't spend money recklessly. Hundred-year-old ginseng is not a carrot. You won't get it every day."

President Zhang got the passbook and Liu Xia Lian hid it close to her body. These days, passbooks didn't have electronic passwords and one had to use an ID card and signature to withdraw money. In fact, the risk of a passbook was quite high. However, it was a bit unreliable to keep 50,000 yuan at home.

"Comrade Xiao Liu, next time you have money, remember to deposit it with us. We have many branches and good service. It's noon now, how about we have lunch together before leaving?"

"No, no, it's getting late, and there are still a few people waiting outside."

The president and the teller personally escorted Liu Xia Lian to the gate and watched her walk away before returning.

Some people complained: "Why didn't anyone deliver our deposited money to our door?"

The teller rolled his eyes at him and said, "Brother, if you deposit 50,000 yuan, I'll deliver it to your doorstep."

The eldest brother squeezed the twenty yuan in his hand and shook his head: "I still won't let you send it."

Liu Xia Lian always walks with a breeze. Now that she has money, she has become more arrogant.

"Sisters, let's go to the big supply and marketing cooperative. I'll pay for everything you eat today."

Erya looked at Liu Xialian eagerly: "Sister, can we go to the market? I feel uncomfortable buying things in the supply and marketing cooperative."

The salespersons always looked at the two of them strangely. It was normal for Erya to feel uncomfortable. It was different at the big market. The stalls were all run by individual business owners, and their service attitude was also good.

The market is held on the side of a nearby road, with hundreds of stalls. Because the wind of reform and opening up has just arrived and has not yet been fully promoted in the Northeast, many people are still worried that setting up stalls will be regarded as speculation and profiteering and they will be arrested.

After finding a place to park the mule cart under a big tree, Liu Xia Lian opened the big bag and took out the money inside.

Li Damei slapped her chest in surprise: "I was so scared, so scared, how could there be so much money? You didn't even tell me, I thought it was just an ordinary bag, luckily nothing happened."

Liu Xia Lian took out three hundred yuan and gave each person one hundred yuan: "Da Mei, the three of you buy together until the money is all spent. Eat whatever you want, buy whatever you want, and buy all the things you usually don't want to buy."

The three of them went shopping happily. Liu Xialian sat on her bag and took a nap. The big black mule was eating food, and the hound Dahuang was chewing bones out of boredom.

After a while, the three people came back. They looked full and didn't even wipe their mouths clean.

Damei bought cotton coats, cotton pants, autumn clothes, autumn trousers, etc. Judging from the styles, they should be bought for his younger brother.

Daya bought two quilts with large Northeastern floral patterns, two mattresses, autumn clothes, long shorts, cotton shoes and socks, as well as pots, pans, and bowls. After all, these things are indispensable in life.

Erya was holding apples, bananas, oranges, liquor, etc. in her left hand, and a big bag of fire paper, paper money, gold ingots, etc. in her right hand.

"Er Ya, why did you buy this?"

"I dreamt about my mother the day before yesterday. She kept saying that it was cold and miserable over there, with no clothes or food. I would burn it for her when I got back."

Daya was afraid that Liu Xialian would be angry: "I told her, but she didn't listen."

"It's okay, Daya. This is human nature. When you get home, you two can go burn paper together. It's autumn now, so be careful about fire prevention. Don't be careless."

Daya nodded: "Don't worry, I will clean the grass on the grave first, and then burn it."

Damei took a handful of change and counted it: "Sister, this is thirty-two dollars and fifty cents, the rest from Erya. She really doesn't know what to buy. She has already eaten five or six snacks, so she really doesn't know what to buy."

"Okay, I'll put it away. Would you two like to renovate the old house? Your mud house has started to leak in the heavy rain."

Erya was not in a good mood: "My mother raised us in this house when we were little. I don't want to renovate it."

Daya was quite open-minded: "It's okay to renovate it to avoid leaks from the snow and rain, but it's almost winter now, is it too late?"

"There's still time. I'll make arrangements for you. You can stay at Damei's house during this time."

"Thank you, Sister Xia Lian." Daya has been speaking much more fluently lately.

"Okay, you three stay here and I'm going to go eat. We'll leave after we're done."

Liu Xia Lian was also hungry, so she found a bun shop, ate a basket of steamed buns and drank a bowl of egg soup, spending one dollar, which was considered a high consumption.

The big black mule was full and had great strength, so it could run fast. An hour and a half later, the group returned to Lijiatun.

Daya and Erya brought the things back home. They were going to burn paper for their deceased relatives.

Li Damei ran to the door of Xu Shiba's house and called out, "Brother Shiba, is Brother Shiba home?"

Guilan sat on a chair and called out, "I'm here, I'm here, collecting firewood in the backyard. It's almost winter, so I'm collecting firewood."

"Well, Sister Guilan, Sister Xia Lian is back from the forest farm and asked Brother Eighteen to come over for something."

"Okay, here I come, here I come, you go back first, I'll change my clothes."

Li Damei went back first. While changing his clothes, Xu Shiba asked his wife, "If you ask me to come over, I will definitely be asked to pay you. Do you think I should accept it or not?"
