Chapter 143: 143 Return

In a daze, Jiang Xinyu heard someone knocking on the door and went out groggily.

"Who is it?"

"Xiao Jiang, it’s Old Yang."

Jiang Xinyu, with disheveled hair, opened the door and invited Old Yang in.

"Here’s eighty thousand in cash for your wheat. I left you a thousand pounds of beef, two thousand pounds of pork, and only took two hundred pounds of sausage, leaving you three hundred. I owe you thirty-three thousand for the meat."

"Master Yang, you’re giving me too much."

"It’s not much, just take it. I’m leaving soon. I talked to Xiao Wei on the phone this morning, contact him when you go to work tomorrow.

Here, this is the key to the compound, the meat is in the cellar. You should move the grain out within two or three days; it’s not safe, a lot of people are eyeing it."

"Okay, got it. There’s still some sugar buns at home, take them for the road."

"Alright, I’ll take them all."

Jiang Xinyu packed thirty large sugar buns into a cloth bag and handed it to Old Yang, who hurriedly left. It was too conspicuous, he had to leave quickly.

Seeing Old Yang off, Jiang Xinyu was invigorated. She now had a cash total of 130,000, a sum she had never seen in her previous life.

Sitting on the kang, she spent a long time counting it like a miser before finally putting it away.

It was already noon. She ate a sugar bun, drank some milk, and then rode her bike to Old Yang’s compound.

The grain was in the inner room, which she gathered up. Then she entered the cellar; three thousand pounds of meat was quite a lot, and she collected it all.

The grain she planned to give as favors. She would sell five hundred pounds of the beef, keeping the rest for herself, and planned to buy up more than three hundred pounds of pork from her space, leaving five hundred pounds behind.

The price would certainly not be as high as Old Yang’s; beef at three and a half, pork at three.

She wasn’t planning to sell any sausage, giving ten pounds each to She Xiaoyun and her friends, and ten pounds to Qian Jun. The rest she would keep for herself.

Walking back happily, she thought of the several hundred pounds of large potatoes and butter in her space, making her even happier.

She went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative, and her appearance attracted everyone.

"Director Jiang, Director Jiang, are you wearing a trench coat?"

"Yes, you all keep working, I’m going to find Sister She. You can come to the office in shifts."

Many people were buying things at the supply and marketing cooperative, since the twelfth month was approaching. So only two people could go at a time.

She Xiaoyun was organizing documents, and upon hearing the knock on the door, raised her head to see the elegant Jiang Xinyu, immediately standing up.

"Xinyu, are you wearing a trench coat?"

"Yes, does it look good?"

"Good, it looks really great. How much is it? I want one."

"Just a hundred bucks."

"Alright, great."

"Sister She, I also bought you a pair of leather shoes as a gift."

"Great, did you bring them today?"

"No, you can come to my house to get them tonight. Oh right, can you call them? I have something to say."

"No problem."

She Xiaoyun dialed Secretary Hao’s number at his unit.

"Secretary Hao, is it convenient to talk now?"

"Yes, go ahead."

"I have eighteen hundred pounds of pork and five hundred pounds of beef."

"Jiang Xinyu, let’s meet at the restaurant tonight, I’ll inform them."

"Okay."

"Xinyu, you have so much meat? This year’s New Year treats are going to be great. I’ll go to my leader to leave early, and go to your place with you, I also want to wear a trench coat."

"Alright, but your sisters will come soon."

As they were speaking, two young girls came in. "Director Jiang, how much is the trench coat?"

"A hundred."

"We want them, all of us want them. Eleven in total."

"Alright, two colors, one is the khaki I’m wearing, the other is black. You make a list, I brought back fifty in total."

"Right away, right away, Director Jiang, sit down and have some water while you wait for us."

The two girls turned and ran out. Within ten minutes, they were back.

"Director Jiang, we want six khaki and five black ones."

"Okay, I’ll bring them to you by noon tomorrow."

The two young girls got the specific time and went back to work.

Soon, someone else came in, handing Jiang Xinyu a handful of rock candy.

"Xinyu, you’re treated better than me now."

"Hahaha, that’s true."

She Xiaoyun checked the time, "I’ll go ask for leave now, let’s carry the radishes and mustard greens I reserved for you back together."

Jiang Xinyu had no objections, any way was fine.

After paying fifteen yuan at the counter, they helped load the goods onto their bikes, and the two rode back to Jiang Xinyu’s house.

"Xinyu, your home is quite nice."

"Isn’t it? I renovated it bit by bit. Sister She, come inside quickly, I’ll make you some coffee."

"Coffee?"

"Yes, I brought it back, try it and see if you like it. It’s a bit bitter, but it’s great for refreshing."

Jiang Xinyu also took out bread, milk candy, and chocolate.

"Foreigners really know how to eat."

"Hehe, I think we know how to eat better.

How is it? Can you drink the coffee?"

"It’s alright, add some more sugar for me."

"Sister She, eat a piece of bread, how is it?"

"Sweet steamed bun? Just has more of a milky flavor than ours."

Jiang Xinyu chuckled at She Xiaoyun’s analogy, it was quite fitting.

She Xiaoyun loved milk candy the most, and was just so-so about chocolate.

After eating and drinking, they washed their hands and went into Jiang Xinyu’s room.

"Sister She, the trench coat is in the bag, take it yourself, I’ll stoke the furnace."

She Xiaoyun didn’t stand on ceremony, took out a khaki one to try, then tried on the black one.

"Xinyu, I think they both look good, help me decide."

"Then take this black one, it looks more spirited on you."

"Alright, this it is."

"Sister She, don’t take it off yet, try on the leather shoes too."

"Xinyu, these leather shoes are too beautiful. Are they for winter?"

"Yes, they’re lined with wool, very comfortable to wear."

After dressing up, Jiang Xinyu felt She Xiaoyun seemed like a different person. She was originally beautiful, and dressed like this, she was even more stunning.

"I’ll go to dinner like this."

"Mhm, you’ll be the prettiest one."

Jiang Xinyu then took out a red cashmere scarf, which highlighted her beauty even more.

"I’ll give you the scarf."

"Xinyu, you’re giving me so many things, I’m a bit embarrassed."

"Hahaha, don’t say that. There’ll be plenty of times for you to help me in the future." Jiang Xinyu mainly felt guilty for selling the trench coat to She Xiaoyun for a hundred, so she tried to make up for it in other ways.

The water boiled on the stove, they filled a thermos, and put on some coal, then rode to the restaurant.

One wore black, the other khaki, their trench coats made them the center of attention on the street.

Young girls, young wives, all stared at them. Some bold ones even stopped them, "Comrade, where did you buy that coat?"

"Sorry, it’s not for sale, it was brought from abroad."

The young girl was so disappointed she almost cried, the coat was so beautiful, she would look even better in it.
