The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 130: Saving for the Dowry

12 month.

Chen Huaiyang managed to get a lot of food after much effort and got a letter of introduction to go to the county town. To make money, he naturally had to take risks, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

He is a man with space on his shoulders. As long as he is careful and cautious, he won't have to worry about not making money.

In order to make himself familiar with the gang, he went to the black market several times these days and made friends with some capable leaders.

After all, I have some free time now, and no one will stop me from going out.

As long as we don't get caught, everything will be safe.

"Brother, the food supply is almost full these days. Can you see if you can get some pork? Meat is the most scarce thing, and now is the best time to go."

Chen Huaiyang listened and negotiated the price with others.

If he wanted to make money, he naturally considered this aspect. After the deal was settled, he set a time and left.

Although the control was tight, there were still people who acted sneakily. After all, there were always people with great courage. By chance, Chen Huaiyang overheard the drunkard let the cat out of the bag after he got drunk.

It was said that he was secretly slaughtering pigs for people.

Others didn't take it seriously, but Chen Huaiyang took note of it.

So, whenever I had time, I would keep an eye on people. When I saw them carrying lunch boxes to eat at state-owned restaurants, I would follow them and even buy them two bottles of wine.

"Brother, do you want to drink? I'm feeling down, have a couple of drinks with me."

Chen Huaiyang put on a painful look. When the drunkard heard it, his craving for alcohol came back and he started drinking with others.

As long as there is wine, you are the boss. If you drink a few more glasses, you will become familiar with everyone.

Soon they became brothers.

Chen Huaiyang cried and complained that he was poor and couldn't find a job to make money. The drunkard patted his chest and promised to find him a job.

Chen Huaiyang felt grateful that he had met a noble person.

In this way, Chen Huaiyang got into the business of slaughtering pigs and helped people slaughter pigs for four days. He earned some money, but his hands were shaking from exhaustion.

If he didn't have some strength, he wouldn't be able to do this physical work.

Although he had only been there for a few days, he was nimble and quick-witted, and was quite familiar with the boss, so he asked in a covert way about buying pigs.

The leader stared at him and said, "How dare you do this, kid? If you get caught, you will suffer the consequences."

Chen Huaiyang answered sincerely, "I want to marry a wife, but my mother-in-law wants a high gift. Although I make a little money from slaughtering pigs, it is far from enough."

"So I thought about whether I could buy you two pigs and sell them. Although it is very dangerous, wealth and honor are sought in danger. For the sake of my wife, I will fight for it."

The leader patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, young man, you are very courageous. Go back and prepare the money. I will give you two equal parts tomorrow."

We've been staying here for a few days. We need to move to another place, otherwise something bad might happen.

The drunkard's eyes popped out when he knew he was going to buy a pig.

"Where do you get the money? This is a risky thing. Do you really dare to do it?"

Chen Huaiyang nodded, and showed a helpless look again, "I'll ask someone to borrow it. I have no choice. Who told me to get married?"

"I'll be careful then, nothing will happen."

In this way, he gained their trust, fooled them, and bought the two pigs directly.

A pig weighs more than 160 kilograms. At that time, there was no feed, and it was raised secretly. There was not much food, so it only weighed this much after a year.

I bought two at 70 yuan each and sold them at night when it was dark and quiet.

A pig was sold for 120 yuan. I made 100 yuan in the process of reselling it. The money came quickly, and I left decisively after making the money.

As for the selling price, that is not his concern.

After succeeding, he resold it again a few days later.

Seeing that the market was basically saturated, Chen Huaiyang stopped. One should know when to stop. If he continued, he would probably get into trouble.

It’s better to just stay down and avoid the limelight!
Chen Huaiyang had been in such a mess in the county town and had some modifications done to his face that no one would recognize him even if they met him face to face.

He has always attached great importance to safety.

After leaving, I completely cut off contact with that person.

Make sure it is wiped clean and no one will be able to notice anything.

In the blink of an eye it's already the end of the month.

Chen Huaiyang had enough money, so he packed up and prepared to go home.

Before I knew it, it’s already been two years since I came out.

Taking advantage of the dead of night, he sneaked over to find Yang Xiaolin.

Yang Xiaolin didn't want to open the door for anyone, but was afraid of making a noise and being seen by others, so she was forced to open the door and let the person in.

Chen Huaiyang is such a smart man, how could he not see that she was angry? Her tense face and pouting lips showed that she was very angry.

Chen Huaiyang went up to her, hugged her and started kissing her. He didn't even dodge when he was hit. He kept kissing her until she became limp in his arms, then he carried her to the kang.

Although the weather was cold, the house was warm and the clothes were thin, which was just right.

Yang Xiaolin raised her hand and pinched him, saying in a cold tone, "You haven't been at the educated youth center these days. Are you doing some speculation or profiteering?"

Chen Huaiyang took out the money and placed it directly in front of her. There were ten full bundles of money, each worth one thousand yuan.

"I'm very careful. No one will see me. Since I've decided to marry you, I can't let you follow me like that. You have to have what others have."

Yang Xiaolin was touched and angry, "Have you ever considered what I would do if you were caught?"

"You are not required to buy these things. Do you really need to take such a risk?"

Chen Huaiyang shrugged. "That won't happen. I'm absolutely sure. Even if I marry a woman, I won't put myself in danger!"

"Trust your man, I'm fully prepared."

"Since I'm going to marry you, I'll prepare everything I need to. I can't let my mother-in-law think that you and I will be wronged."

"Let's take a step back and say that even if something really happens, you can just marry someone else after a few years! No one will be able to tell that you've been with me." The bottom line that should be maintained has always been maintained.

Yang Xiaolin: “…”

"You are really generous. You let your woman go to others. Someone helps you kiss her, someone helps you..."

Chen Huaiyang was so angry that he blocked her mouth and said, "There is no such possibility. I will not give up until you are full of my scent."

"Don't be angry with me. I miss you so much outside. Can you help me take care of my brother?"

Yang Xiaolin turned around and ignored him. Others couldn't see it, but she knew in her heart that her clothes were getting tighter and tighter, but it was all thanks to him!
Chen Huaiyang never gives people the chance to make trouble. They quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. If lying on the same kang together still can't make people calm down, then he has lived in vain.

"Pack your things and we'll go back before it snows. You can stay home for a while and your family will surely miss you."

"Don't lose your temper with me. I won't be able to hold you like this for a long time. Don't tell me that you don't miss me. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

Yang Xiaolin thought of her family and remembered the quarrel with him. When she saw him come back, her anger dissipated.
