Chapter 1416

"Uncle Chen, the amount of money is correct."

"Okay, please sign your name here."

Factory Director Chen took out a notebook and asked Ding Ning to sign it; this was the receipt for payment.

After Ding Ning signed her name.

Factory Director Chen then took out an envelope from his pocket and said:

"Girl, in our transaction just now, we didn't discuss how much money you'd get for this job. The market price for this job is eight hundred to one thousand, but I'll give you one thousand yuan. Is that okay?"

"Okay, Uncle Chen."

"Then click it."

"it is good"

"Girl, sign your name here."

After counting the money, Director Chen nodded to Ding Ning, then took out a receipt, signed it, and the receipt indicated that the transaction had been completed and the money had been received.

One copy for each person, both parties sign their names, and the transaction is complete.

Ding Ning signed her name and took her own piece of paper.

Then he put the two envelopes into his bag, which was actually a box in his spatial bag.

The reason we didn't include the other courtyard house is because we haven't visited it yet and don't know what's inside.

"Girl, if you need anything in the future, ask your Uncle Chen. As for selling your house, think about it. Since you're confident you'll get into university, be sure to keep an eye out for your acceptance letter."

"Okay, I must see Uncle Chen if I need anything. Uncle Chen, please don't find me annoying."

"Well, you have so much money in your hands, you must be careful and don't tell anyone. I've already asked someone to keep it a secret. As for how long it can be kept a secret? As long as you don't tell anyone, this matter won't be leaked before your notification letter arrives."

"Well, when people ask me, just to ask about my job and pension, I'll definitely make excuses and say that it hasn't been processed yet."

"Yes, I've already told the students in the class not to tell anyone."

Ding Ning bid farewell to Director Chen and left the office. As he passed through some departments, he would simply nod at people he encountered, and when asked, he would only say that he wanted to ask about work.

When Ding Ning arrived at the factory gate, he nodded to the old man and left, feeling that it was still early.

I want to stroll around the streets, spend all the tickets I haven't used yet, and I also remembered the food rations; I haven't received this month's rations.

Many people would normally have enough food for the next month.

In times of food shortage, they would line up before dawn, as that would be the day they received their rations. If they couldn't receive rations in the future, they certainly wouldn't be able to get such good food.

Many places are short of food; if you arrive too late, there will be no food left and nothing can be done.

Things have gotten much better in recent years. Ding Ning was unable to collect her food rations a couple of days ago because she was sick, and it was because she didn't collect them that her rations were preserved.

The neighbor next door was worried, but since the person didn't go to collect their grain rations with their ration book, worrying was useless.

Ding Ning remembered that subconsciously, he would vaguely tell the neighbor where the food coupons and supplies were stored during those few days. That person would help collect the food, and then gradually find all the items in their room before taking all their savings.

Ding Ning first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, carrying large and small bags, which aroused envy among others.

Ding Ning didn't dare to buy too much in one place. He used up the tickets that were about to expire, left the supply and marketing cooperative, walked into a deserted alley, and put the items into his spatial bag.

The next stop is to collect food.

Her parents are gone, and they have run out of food. She only has enough food for this month.

The parents left some food coupons, which could be used at the restaurant.

Ding Ning also thought of the land in the space, so he bought some seeds from the seed company and went to the pharmacy to inquire if they had any herb seeds.

I spent a lot of money on shopping.

Grain and rapeseed seeds are quite expensive. I bought some beans, wheat, rice, upland rice, sorghum, and some vegetable and coarse grain seeds.

I bought cotton seeds and some herb seeds at the pharmacy. I even managed to buy a few ginseng seeds.

There were also a few seeds of wild ginseng.

Ding Ning bought all of these, bringing his total income to 4000 today, but he has already spent over 100 on shopping alone.

Money is hard to earn and it doesn't last long.

This sum of over 100 yuan is equivalent to half a year's wages for many workers.

If it's a temporary job, it's a year's salary.

Of course, she used to buy these things for her family to use or eat.

Now she uses it to eat, and it can last for a while, and even a long time.

Most importantly, with those seeds, once they are planted, there will be no shortage of food in the future.

Ding Ning hadn't thought about replying yet, even though she had bought meat buns that morning.

However, she still wanted to spend the meat coupons and stock up on some food in her space. The state-run restaurant she went to now was not the one near their family building.

I went to a restaurant and ordered a plate of braised pork, a bowl of white rice, and a stir-fried noodle dish with shredded pork.

She packed the plate of fried noodles into an aluminum lunchbox.

They were enjoying their braised pork and white rice with great relish.

It's lunchtime now, and many people come to eat, but not everyone can order braised pork. Even if someone does order braised pork, it's not for one person.

Ding Ning spent half a jin of meat coupons, four liang of grain coupons, and three yuan by himself.

Ding Ning was completely unaware of the many envious glances directed at her.

There are many people eating here now, but there are no tables around that have ordered braised pork, and the children are making a ruckus.

"Braised pork, I want to eat braised pork."

The naughty child cried and made a fuss, then ran over and tried to snatch the braised pork.

The adults did not stop them.

Soon, a few mischievous kids ran up to Ding Ning's table and, without asking any questions, reached out to grab the braised pork.

Ding Ning has been very agile since she started cultivating, after all, she is already a young girl, albeit a thin one.

She quickly picked up the braised pork on the table, even though she only ate one piece.

When these mischievous kids came to snatch it, I quickly turned around, raised the plate of braised pork, and also took my own bowl of rice.

Then they quickly took a few more steps, and the mischievous kids, unable to catch them, tried to snatch them again, but this time they couldn't win.

"You good-for-nothing, hurry up and give me my braised pork."

"You're a money-loser, you're a money-loser, what right do you have to eat braised food?"

"My braised pork, I want to eat braised pork."

The noise in the restaurant, with these unruly children fighting over meat, attracted a lot of attention. The parents seemed to be letting their children run wild.

Actually, they didn't have meat ration coupons. They bought meat for their children, and if a child managed to grab some meat, it would be theirs.

Why not take advantage of a good deal?
They also felt that Ding Ning, a thin and frail girl, although dressed quite well, was definitely not short of money. If someone stole her braised pork, she wouldn't, and wouldn't dare to, say anything.

Things didn't go as they expected. Although many people were watching with gossip, they didn't stop the children.

Ding Ning has trained, so her speed is definitely not something those kids can match.

……

Ding Ning had previously bought several extra lunchboxes from the supply and marketing cooperative specifically for packing meals.

When the kids tried to snatch his things, he secretly took out a new aluminum lunchbox from his storage bag, under the cover of his bag, and poured the braised pork and the bowl of rice into it.

He quickly put the aluminum lunchbox into his bag.

Chased by the children, he quickly left the area. Although Ding Ning was from this district, he rarely came to this area before, and he usually went to school and ate at the old family compound and the old state-run restaurant.

I don't know many people in this area.

She knew the parents of those unruly kids were there, but she didn't want to cause trouble.

Throughout the entire process, I neither scolded nor hit the children.

Even if Ding Ning was scolded by those children, those children all have parents who don't want to discipline them.

Besides, as an orphan, she would definitely be bullied if she got into a fight.

Ding Ning wouldn't be able to defeat those children's parents just because he has already cultivated. And there's more than one parent involved.

Although she will be criticized for doing this, it will only be criticism behind her back.

Will she still recognize these people after she leaves this place?

The other diners in the restaurant watched the show, and even the adults could only swallow their saliva frantically. They couldn't eat the meat; they could only eat by smelling the aroma.

The kids cried and fussed because they couldn't get any meat, but after Ding Ning ran away, the parents lost face and could only lightly slap the crying kids a few times.

Without the illegitimate child, they didn't dare to snatch it from the strong men they saw eating braised pork.

Ding Ning had just wanted to enjoy a nice meal, but he never expected that something like this would happen just because he was eating meat.

I miss my parents right now. Before, when my parents were around, who would dare to take them away?

Although her parents were kind-hearted people, they also knew to take good care of Ding Ning.

Ding Ning only ate two bites of rice and two pieces of meat, and he was still hungry.

Even walking on the street in broad daylight, I don't dare to go inside the space.

Despite my hunger, I took a piece of peach shortbread from the supply and marketing cooperative and ate it.

As she walked and ate, many people, including men and older women, followed her on foot and on bicycles, staring at her.

Some girls even looked at him with jealousy and hatred.

In this era, even though Ding Ning's parents only had one child, the purchase restrictions meant that even with money, they couldn't buy much meat.

They wouldn't dare go to the black market, even if they had the money.

Even in dual-income families, they could only eat half full. They were already pale and thin, with yellowish hair, and after another illness, they became even more haggard and weak.

However, since reaching the first level of Qi Refining last night, my skin has become fair and smooth, with a dark and lustrous appearance.

The skin on her face became rosy, both fair and rosy.

At this moment, she has a beautiful face and exudes youthful vitality.

Some are quite thin; how many fat people are there these days?

Ding Ning's appearance attracted young men and women. Even elderly men and women, and middle-aged people couldn't help but take a second look.

It's lunchtime rush hour right now.

Those who came out of the factory and saw Ding Ning at a glance were captivated.

Everyone wanted to find out who this girl was.
Ding Ning's appearance hasn't changed, but her temperament has.

Not a single person she knew recognized her.

Ding Ning was also quite lucky, as she ran into an acquaintance.

Ignoring the people who tried to chat me up, I walked and walked until I came to a recycling bin.

Ding Ning realized that in this era, recycling stations had many smashed items, and furniture, useful and useless, would be piled up in one place.

Although it was 77, it wasn't that cold in the south, so she wore a long-sleeved dress and long socks.

Or rather, after she started cultivating, her body took a health-strengthening pill, and she became less afraid of the cold.

Many young people dress like her.

However, some people wore two long-sleeved shirts.

Or you could wear a long-sleeved undershirt and a vest.

This is how people dress in the city; there are many patches and alterations in the city.

Those who see new skirts or even new clothes on the street without a single patch are from the best-off families.

Ding Ning didn't lack clothes, not because her family had a lot of receipts, but because her parents worked in a textile factory. Textile factories had a lot of fabric, and employee welfare would consist of some flawed fabric, scraps of cloth, and the like.

My father worked in the security department, and my mother worked in the data department; they both received the same benefits.

Ding Ning still has a small storeroom at home where supplies haven't been packed away yet.

Last night, I only received some valuable items.

Ding Ning recalled that in some books from that era, the recycling bin was a place for Taobao.

She now has space, or can sense useful things.

In the book, the male and female protagonists both go to recycling centers and search for treasures.

Ding Ning remembered the plot that God gave her, which was also a situation she didn't know in her previous life: the slut Xiao Yuhuan and the scumbag man later went to the recycling station many times.

Because they are the main characters and have space, they used their perception to throw gold and silver jewelry, gold bars, and antiques into the recycling station.

Now that she's unlocked those perks, she'll have to seize the opportunity to be with the male and female leads.

When Ding Ning arrived at the recycling station, he saw a middle-aged man sitting there, perhaps having just eaten lunch, leisurely drinking tea.

Ding Ning's arrival was met with only a fleeting glance.

However, when he saw Ding Ning's beautiful face, his eyes lit up, and he watched without making a sound.

"Uncle, I want to go inside to find some books and newspapers."

"You can't just flip through it; we keep records of everything here."

"Uncle, I know."

Ding Ning entered the recycling station, hoping to use his senses to perceive things as he walked.

The middle-aged man behind her kept staring at Ding Ning's back.

He stared straight at her.

There were rooms inside the recycling center, but the middle-aged man felt that Ding Ning, a young woman, couldn't take or hide much.

When Ding Ning went inside, he looked around to see if anyone was there.

There's no rush to do anything.
There are still people coming and going on this street.

Ding Ning sensed something was wrong with the man and could only quickly search for him.

Use your mental strength to search.

Walking past some furniture, I sensed a piece of furniture missing a leg, with items inside.

Use the space to quickly collect items inside, and collect more items when you sense a treasure.

Ding Ning discovered that he could sense valuable items within 10 meters of them and store them in his space.

Because of this feature and convenience, useful things can be stored in the space without any effort.

Ding Ning sends and receives items including large and small yellow croakers, jade pendants, necklaces, and jade bracelets.

Golden peanuts, golden leaves, gemstones.

Although it wasn't much, it was still an unexpected windfall.

When I arrived at the book section, I found some rare books. Among them, there were no high school or junior high school books. It's possible that after the news of the college entrance examination came out, many people were looking for books in the recycling center.
