Traveling through the Great Northern Wilderness and marrying the most beautiful educated youth.

Su Qingyun glanced at it and immediately turned her head away.

Don't look at things blindly; these days, issues of conduct can be fatal.

He strode into the house and closed the door behind him.

This is a three-bedroom apartment with a gleaming terrazzo floor and a stylish decor.

Logically speaking, it's quite impressive, but Su Qingyun always felt that something was missing. Oh well, being able to live in an apartment building is already pretty awesome.

On the chest of drawers in the center of the living room, there was a rare object—

A 14-inch black and white television!

Su Qingyun was shocked. Holy crap.

For seven or eight years, Xiangyang Village couldn't even afford to collect a single radio.

Even the forestry cadre's family had a television set.

He secretly thought that if he could get one back for Lin Wanqiu, she would definitely be happy.

However, at one cent per pound, it would take several thousand pounds of rice to sell, which is a real headache.

Seeing Su Qingyun staring intently at the television, Qin Chuyu felt a surge of smugness.

"Country bumpkin, never seen one before, have you?" she thought to herself, finally winning back some ground.

She gulped down two mouthfuls of cold water to calm herself down, then called out to the inner room, "Mom! I bought some good rice!"

A woman stepped out from behind the curtain of the inner room.

Wearing a floral apron and sleeves.

It was Qin Chuyu's mother, Li Mei, the director of the forest farm's finance department.

"What's with all the fuss about this good rice?"

Li Mei walked over, her gaze falling on the half-open burlap sack, and her eyes instantly lit up.

"Wow, this rice is so translucent, it's really rare!"

Su Qingyun chimed in, "Auntie, where do we put the rice?"

"Just put it in the rice container in the kitchen, thank you for your trouble, young man." Li Mei pointed kindly.

Su Qingyun picked up the sack and went into the kitchen.

Looking up, I saw two strings of oily sausages hanging from the roof beam, and half a pork belly hanging next to them.

He knew in his heart that this was definitely the leader of the forest farm.

After pouring the rice, Su Qingyun came out.

Qin Chuyu prepared the remaining three yuan and handed it over.

"Here, the balance is three yuan. Please check."

Su Qingyun took the money and put it in her pocket.

Now, the five yuan is safely in my pocket.

Li Mei glared at her daughter: "Chu Yu! How can you talk to people like that? You have no manners."

He turned to look at Su Qingyun, his eyes filled with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Young man, which brigade are you from? What's your name?"

Su Qingyun stood ramrod straight: "Auntie, my name is Su Qingyun, from Xiangyang Village Brigade."

Li Mei nodded: "Your rice is indeed good, but the price is a bit high."

"Auntie, this is what they call 'you get what you pay for'," Su Qingyun smiled.

"I made money, and your old man's stomach got better. That's what we call a win-win situation."

"A win-win situation?" Li Mei was taken aback.

The word is fresh and has a clever edge.

The way she looked at Su Qingyun changed instantly.

This young man from the countryside speaks with surprising eloquence.

Li Mei's mind started to work.

My wife has a chronic stomach ailment, so it would be wonderful if this good rice could be supplied regularly.

"Qingyun, from now on, your aunt will need this rice for a long time."

"The forest farm is currently under closed management, and it's not easy for outsiders to get in."

Li Mei walked to the writing desk, quickly wrote a note, and stamped it with the red seal of the finance department.

"Take this pass, and the security department won't stop you anymore."

Su Qingyun accepted it with both hands; this was a good thing.

It will be much more convenient to handle matters at the forest farm in the future.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Qin Chuyu, watching from the side, couldn't help but interject, "Hey, have you ever been to school? You talk a good game."

"I only went to primary school for a few years and know a few words," Su Qingyun replied casually.

"Alright, Auntie, I'm going back now."

Su Qingyun took her leave.

Watching the door close, Qin Chuyu pouted, "Mom, judging from his cleverness, he's probably aiming for college, right?"

Li Mei's face fell: "Don't talk nonsense! The policy is still unclear. If this gets out, it will cause trouble."

Qin Chuyu stuck out her tongue, putting Su Qingyun out of her mind.

"Mom, forget about him, hurry up and use this good rice to make porridge for Dad, I'm craving it!"

Su Qingyun walked out of the red brick building and strolled around the forest farm's residential area.

This forest farm is huge, with over a thousand employees and their families, it's like a small town.

As we walked, a row of large, single-story red brick houses came into view.

A wooden sign hangs above the entrance: Forestry Farm Workers' Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Wow, this is bigger than the supply and marketing cooperative in Xiaheyan Town.

Looking through the glass window, you can see that the room is filled with all sorts of scarce goods.

Su Qingyun touched the five yuan in her pocket.

I need to buy something for Lin Wanqiu and also check out the prices here.

He stepped inside.

The supply and marketing cooperative was deserted, with hardly anyone there.

Behind the glass counter sat a woman in a blue uniform.

This woman's name is Ma Lijuan, she's in her thirties, and she has permed hair.

She was knitting a sweater with her head down, completely absorbed in the task.

Su Qingyun walked to the counter and looked at the brown sugar and snow cream on the shelf.

"Comrade, let's buy something."

Ma Lijuan didn't even lift her eyelids as her knitting needles flew swiftly through her hands.

"Are you blind? Can't you see I'm busy? Go to the back of the line!"

The sound was drawn out, revealing a hint of impatience.

Su Qingyun turned around and glanced back.

Apart from him, there wasn't a soul in the entire supply and marketing cooperative.

What kind of queue is this?

"Comrade, it's working hours now, and there's no one else here."

Su Qingyun knocked on the glass counter. "Could you please get the goods?"

This really got them really angry.

Ma Lijuan is the sister-in-law of the head of the supply and marketing cooperative, and she is used to being domineering and tyrannical.

Who dares to knock on her counter?

She slammed the sweater down and stood up abruptly.

He rolled his triangular eyes and sized up Su Qingyun.

Mud-covered coarse cloth trousers, a faded tank top, and a pair of ripped sandals.

Ma Lijuan looked at him with disdain.

"Hey, where did this poor, peasant-turned-lady come from, daring to cause trouble here?"

"What are you banging on! Can you afford to pay for the broken glass?!"

Seeing this, another young saleswoman quickly came over and tugged at Ma Lijuan's sleeve.

"Sister Ma, forget it, just give it to him."

"What's there to calculate!" Ma Lijuan shoved her colleague aside and pointed at Su Qingyun's nose.

"Who do you think you are? Coming to the forestry farm's supply and marketing cooperative to act like a big shot?"

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Could you even afford that?!"

Faced with this barrage of shouts, Su Qingyun didn't lose her temper.

He stood there, staring coldly at Ma Lijuan.

An intimidating aura emanated from it.

Ma Lijuan felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze, and her imposing manner weakened slightly.

Su Qingyun twitched the corners of her mouth, her voice not loud, but firm and unyielding.

"Who says only forestry workers can buy things here?"
