Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Chapter 411 I will always be your support

On September 9, Zhou Rong and his friends sent Nini and Zhou Jiaxing to report to school.

In the past two years, large-scale armed conflicts broke out between China and the Soviet Union on the northern border, and the top leaders issued a warning: "Be prepared for war."

In order to popularize foreign language calls in the army and understand the movements of the other side, the army began to focus on cultivating talents in foreign languages.

The Department of Oriental Languages, Department of Western Languages, and Department of Russian at Kyoto University basically only recruit soldiers.

Therefore, soldiers accounted for a large proportion of the first batch of workers, peasants and soldiers.

Zhou Rong and his friends saw several groups of soldiers on campus, marching in formation with their bags on their backs.

Mother Zhou whispered to Zhou Rong, "These soldiers seem to all come from the border. Do you think Erwa will come with them? How about we go and ask around?"

Zhou Rong: "Qing'an wrote to me three months ago, saying that he was going on a mission and would not be able to contact me in the short term. He did not mention coming to Kyoto to study."

Zhou's mother: "Hey, when will there be no more wars and real peace in the world?"

Zhou Rong: "There are no absolute friends between countries, only absolute interests. As long as there is a conflict of interests, war is inevitable.

Fortunately, our country has powerful weapons, and others dare not act rashly. At most, they can make some small moves to disgust people. I believe our soldiers will deal with them completely. "

Zhou's mother: "Yes, we were able to win the war and drive out the invaders under such difficult conditions. A small Soviet Union would certainly be no problem for us."

Zhou Rong: "Mom is right."

Among the workers, peasants and soldiers in this class, those with a junior high school education or above accounted for less than 20% of the total number of workers, peasants and soldiers. Most of the students had a junior high school education, accounting for 60%. There were also many who only had an elementary school education and were recommended through special channels...

There is a classmate in Nini's dormitory who comes from the mountainous area and is a local women's representative. She said that she only attended literacy classes and never expected to have the opportunity to go to college.

She was very grateful for the organization's training and said that after graduation she would return to the production team to liberate more women from old ideas.

She was very enthusiastic and kept talking to Zhou Rong and Nini, and also shared the specialties from her hometown with everyone.

Zhou Rong gestured to Nini to take out the food from her bag to return the gift.

A classmate saw that Nini and Zhou Rong were not dressed like country people and their bags were full of food, so he asked if their families were cadres.

Zhou Rong was worried that Nini might say something wrong, so he answered, "We are workers. This is our first time in Kyoto. We don't want to embarrass our country, so we specially wore the best clothes in our home.

The food we gave to everyone was bought after we came to Kyoto. We have never eaten such delicious food in our hometown. The people of Kyoto are really lucky. "

When the classmate heard this, he thought Nini's family background was very ordinary and instantly lost interest in talking to her.

Zhou's father and mother were attracted by a scenery near the dormitory and said they wanted to go and appreciate it. They would meet there after Zhou Rong and Zhou Chuanyi helped the two children settle into the dormitory.

After helping Nini make the bed, Zhou Rong motioned for her to go downstairs with him.

On the way, Zhou Rong whispered to Nini: "Society is complicated and people's hearts are treacherous. You can never guess what others are really thinking. If you don't want to be harmed by others, don't expose your private affairs.

In the future, don't talk about your family background outside. Be low-key, don't show off, don't compare. This place is not like home. If something goes wrong, others will stand up for you. How you can become depends entirely on yourself."

Nini: "I'll remember what mom said. I will keep my mouth shut and not cause trouble for myself and my family."

Zhou Rong: "Okay, if you really encounter any problems, don't hide them. Send me a telegram immediately and we will solve it together. I will always support you."

Nini: “Yeah!”

After helping Nini and Zhou Jiaxing complete the admission procedures, Zhou Rong and his friends decided to continue playing in Kyoto for a few days before going back.

In the words of Zhou's father, now that you are here, if you don't explore Kyoto to its full potential, you'll have lost money on your train ticket.

Especially when everyone was strolling around and heard that there would be a grand military parade on National Day this year, Zhou's father and Zhou Chuanyi didn't want to go back even more.

It was a rare opportunity for them to come to Kyoto and have the chance to meet the big boss, so they couldn’t miss it!

Otherwise, I won’t even have the confidence to eat beef when I go back…

Before Zhou Chuanyi set out, he only got two national food coupons worth 5 kilograms each. The rest were local food coupons that could not be used in Kyoto. Zhou's father and mother did not have any national food coupons.

The Industrial and Commercial Bureau only gave Zhou Rong 6 national food coupons, which had been almost used up in the past few days.

It is not cost-effective to use space to copy national food coupons and quote them all based on collection value.

In order to solve the living problems in the next few days, Zhou Rong said that she had a former colleague who was transferred to Kyoto, and she was going to visit him and ask him to exchange some local food coupons for Kyoto.

Zhou's father and his friends believed this reason, and they also said that if gifts were needed, the expenses would be shared equally.

After a few days of sightseeing, everyone was a little tired, so Zhou Rong asked Zhou's father and others to rest in the guesthouse for a day while she went to "visit friends."

Zhou Rong first drove his RV to scout the area. After confirming the approximate location of the black market, he put on a mask and carried a basket filled with rice and noodles as he wandered around the area.

When he met middle-aged women who were also carrying baskets but whose baskets were empty, Zhou Rong would quietly ask them if they wanted anything to eat.

The rice and noodles in Zhou Rong's basket were of very good quality, and every auntie who saw them was tempted.

When I asked about the price, I found out that rice was only 2 cents and noodles were only 6 cents, which was much cheaper than other speculators!

The things in Zhou Rong's basket were quickly sold out, and he asked her if she had any more stock.

Zhou Rong took a look and found that the Kyoto local grain coupons he got in exchange for selling things were less than ten kilograms, which was not enough for everyone to eat and drink for a while, so he made a few more trips.

One afternoon, she exchanged dozens of food coupons for cash. When she was about to call it a day, a haggard-looking aunt stopped her and asked quietly, "I heard you have food to sell. Do you have any more?"

Zhou Rong: “No more.”

Aunt: "My grandson is sick, but the hospital won't treat him. We've run out of food at home, and we don't have rice to make porridge for him. Comrade, can you find a way to get me some rice? If you have sugar, brown sugar, eggs, or antipyretic medicine, that would be even better. We're willing to pay for it."

Zhou Rong was worried that this person was setting a trap for her, so she asked, "Where do you live?"

Aunt: "It's the yard in front, just turn two corners and you'll get there. Comrade, please rest assured, I'm not an inspector. My family background is not good, and I won't come to you to buy grain unless I have no choice."

Zhou Rong: "Do you have food coupons?"

My aunt shook her head: "The food coupons have been used up. We can pay a little more."

Zhou Rong thought for a moment and asked quietly, "Do you have any yellow stuff at home? I'll buy that stuff."

The aunt was stunned, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "How do you plan to collect it?"

Zhou Rong had never done black market gold business and didn't know the ins and outs of it, so he tentatively made the sign of "10" with his fingers.

The aunt nodded and said happily, "Ten bracelets for ten kilograms of rice, OK!"
