Dressed as a Returning Educated Youth

Ling Chuchu really wanted to roll her eyes at him. Does she look like such a stingy person?

"I called you to help me here. After you finish the work I asked you to do, I will give you two yuan as a reward."

Two yuan, in modern times, can't even buy a torch ice cream, but at this time, it is enough to buy a family's daily necessities of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

"You, what did you say?" He wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, so he had auditory hallucinations.

"I said, I want you to help me work, and I will pay you." Ling Chuchu felt that she had made it clear enough.

"Then what do I need to do specifically?"

Ling Chuchu's eyes flickered slightly, and she pointed at the wooden barrel containing the fish with her index finger, "You are responsible for knocking the fish out. I will pay you after I sell all the fish."

Lu Yuan was stunned for a few seconds, and then quickly reacted, "Is it just that simple?"

Ling Chuchu nodded.

She thought, killing fish is also considered a butcher.

Lu Yuan added: "Then it's settled. If you regret it, you're a dog."

These two dollars are really too important to him.

Ling Chuchu: "..."

How childish.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Lu Yuan."

"My name is Ling Chuchu, you can call me Sister Chuchu."

During the chat, Ling Chuchu learned about Lu Yuan's family situation.

Lu Yuan's father just passed away not long ago. Now there are four people in the Lu family, including Grandma Lu, Mother Lu, Lu Yuan, and Mother Lu gave birth to Little Sister Lu not long ago.

All the burdens fell on him.

But he was only a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old.

After eleven o'clock, the number of people on the street gradually increased, and Ling Chuchu's fish was alive, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In this era, you need to use a fish roll to buy fish, and each household can get a fish roll every year.

For households with more than five people, each household can get three kilograms, and for households with less than four people, each household can get two kilograms.

No fish rolls means no fish.

"Comrade, how much do you sell this fish for?"

The questioner was the middle-aged woman who had been following Ling Chuchu all the way.

"No fish rolls, 45 cents per pound."

The price was very reasonable.

Everyone at the scene knew that even if there were fish rolls, 45 cents would be enough to buy such fresh fish.

"Weigh this one for me and tell me how many pounds it weighs." The middle-aged woman pointed to a fish in a wooden barrel and said.

Once on the scale, the fish jumped because it lacked water. It was slippery and hard to catch. It was not easy to pass the scale.

"Two catties and one ounce, so let's count it as two catties and give me 90 cents."

"Okay, okay."

The middle-aged woman quickly took out a dollar, as if she was afraid that she would regret it.
