Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 89 - 0. Young couple treats, plans to split the bill

This year, the purchase price for hazel mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms was quite good. The city’s purchasing station offered much higher prices than the village and town.

Hazel mushrooms were priced at 0.82 yuan per jin, and wood ear mushrooms even exceeded one yuan.

When they sold over two hundred jin of top-quality hazel mushrooms and about one hundred thirty to forty jin of wood ear mushrooms, it stunned the staff at the purchasing station.

Shuzhen had foresight, offering each staff member a small two-jin package of hazel and wood ear mushrooms to taste the hometown flavor. After that, the two ladies took great care in assisting them.

Not only did they weigh them fairly and reasonably, but they also gave them the highest prices directly.

Even when it came to converting vouchers, they generously lent a helping hand.

When Shuzhen left with 317.82 yuan in cash and a stack of cloth, cotton, industrial, and oil vouchers, Lianshan was still incredulous, thinking he was dreaming!

Isn’t everyone supposed to be equal under socialism?

The temptation is right in front of you, yet you don’t resolutely reject it, and instead, quickly embrace them as sisters?

This is simply, simply fantastic!

With this path, they now have a market for future mushroom sales.

With the two ladies being so considerate, it would be much easier for him to buy some good things to nourish his wife!

Lianshan grinned in delight, still occasionally praising his wife’s wisdom and decisiveness even a week and a half later.

With this huge sum of money, after paying off the 120.63-yuan debt, they still had 197.19 yuan left.

Lianshan discussed with Shuzhen about distributing some among everyone, claiming that asking his brothers-in-law to help pick mushrooms and clear the debt was just to embarrass Lin Yuanzhi. In fact, as a big man, he couldn’t really stoop so low.

He hadn’t mentioned it before because they hadn’t sold the mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms yet, and they couldn’t estimate the total amount of money.

Now that they had the money in hand, shouldn’t they share some joy with everyone?

Perfectly, with a bit over three hundred yuan divided among five families, each would get sixty yuan with some spare change. They might as well spend the seventeen yuan and eighty-two cents on a good meal to celebrate the successful debt clearance and pleasant money sharing.

Of course, also to celebrate their successful prank on Lin Yuanzhi.

Shuzhen smiled, thinking about the complete set of textbooks from elementary to high school she salvaged from the recycling station, anticipating the man soon facing arduous study.

Why wouldn’t she agree?

Cook it up, make it sumptuous!

With money in hand and vouchers available, what else is there to say?

Money, this bastard, should be spent to enjoy the comfort and convenience it brings, to truly understand its allure. Only then will you continue striving, motivated to keep earning more.

Otherwise, just earning without spending, living frugally, wouldn’t you become a miser?

Reborn, aiming to live comfortably and freely in the future, Shuzhen had no intention of developing miserly hobbies or ideas.

Right away, she took out two large bills, letting her man go to town to buy whatever he wanted, without skimping.

Why go to town when there’s a supply and marketing cooperative in the village?

Haha, in such a tiny village, even buying a needle would spread like wildfire. If they spend over twenty yuan setting a table in the village, words would spread, and it wouldn’t be long before people started saying how the offspring of a former landlord still has the grandeur of a camel despite being thin!

During these times, status is a crucial matter; anything related requires cautious handling.

Anyway, they have a bicycle at home. Going to town or even the city is convenient, isn’t it?

Seeing his wife not only agreeing with his proposal but also generously giving out twenty yuan, Lianshan was overjoyed, grinning from ear to ear.

He took the money, assuring Shuzhen with a smile that he would handle everything properly.

Shuzhen nodded proudly: Because my man has never been unreliable!

The confidence and indulgence in her tone made Lianshan’s heart dance with joy, sweetening his insides.

He strongly felt like going back inside and pinning this enchantress to the bed, kissing her till the world blurred, letting her sweet voice, as if containing candy, call him my man a hundred thousand times.

"Just wait until my son and daughter settle here, and see how your man deals with you. My brother-in-law said it’s okay after the first three or four months. It’s almost time, so don’t tease me too much!" He pulled her fiercely into his arms, letting her feel his burgeoning *desire* through the clothes. Watching her blush like a March peach flower, she spat at him, calling him a hooligan before scampering into the garden to inspect the vegetable seedlings.

Feeling a bit embarrassed after teasing, Lianshan relaxed, laughing heartily for a while, reminding Shuzhen affirmatively: They are a legitimate couple, and no matter how intimate, it’s marital *intimacy*, utterly unrelated to the word hooligan.

His face full of righteous indignation, legally entitled to exercise his legitimate rights, was so cheeky it really made one want to beat him up!

Shuzhen’s hands itched, wondering how such a considerate man in her past life could now be so uninhibited and cheeky.

She really wanted to ask: What exactly did her brother teach him on their wedding night?

Liu Shouren: I’m seriously wronged; I only side-hinted a couple of points for the sake of my little sister’s health. The way her brother-in-law turned into this has nothing to do with me. Every man has a hooligan in his heart, usually suppressed by reason and education. When encountering the woman you love, reason goes AWOL, and the hooligan seizes the chance to completely assimilate him!

The hooliganized Lianshan was even more cautious than Shuzhen imagined to avoid being seen by acquaintances while shopping, keenly noting that there was just the opportunity to buy some treats with the family’s lucky gather soon. Lianshan, upon reaching the neighboring town’s supply and marketing cooperative, was lucky to encounter a freshly slaughtered pig.

Quickly, give me five jin of ribs, and two, no, ten jin of pork belly!

Upon hearing pork was available without a voucher, though at an expensive one yuan per jin, Lianshan immediately changed his mind from two to ten jin. Such an opportunity to buy meat with decent quality wasn’t to be missed!

Later, brewing ribs with beans, braised chunks of pork with cabbage, potato, and vermicelli, making roasted pork, along with sweet and sour pork...

Smacking his lips, he’s sure everybody will eat to their heart’s content, and perhaps, the little ones will secretly ask if it’s New Year’s with so much delicious food!
