Chen Xiaolin came to the bedside and opened the entrance to the secret room according to the method in her memory. Chen Xiaolin was afraid that if there was no ventilation inside for too long, she would suffer from lack of oxygen if she went down too early, so she waited up there for about ten minutes before going down.

Chen Xiaolin saw about twenty large boxes densely packed, filling the entire secret room of about twenty square meters.

Chen Xiaolin opened all the boxes and looked through them. There were ten boxes of large yellow croakers, three boxes of diamonds and gems of various colors, ten boxes of calligraphy and paintings, and five boxes of jade jewelry.

Chen Xiaolin put a pair of emerald bracelets on her hands. In her previous life, such a pair of emerald bracelets could fetch sky-high prices at auctions. She is really prosperous, and she has really won in this life.

Chen Xiaolin put the bracelet back after wearing it for a while, and then put all the boxes into the space in one go.

Chen Xiaolin came up from the space and destroyed the switch in the secret room. She planned to rent out the house before returning to her hometown.

Chen Xiaolin's house is a small courtyard with one entrance, which is a rare and good house nowadays. She gets ten yuan a month from renting it out. Although she is not short of money now, not counting the materials in her space, the money she has alone can make her live a comfortable life in this era.

"Entering" This is the first time Chen Xiaolin has entered space since she arrived in the 1970s

Chen Xiaolin looked at the lush variety of grains and fruits on the black soil, which made her more confident to survive in this strange era.

Chen Xiaolin came to the space villa. She planned to drink a cup of spiritual spring water and take a bath. She was sweating today and she always felt sticky.

After taking a bath, Chen Xiaolin felt much more relaxed. She just traveled to this body today. She had a fever and was counting supplies. Chen Xiaolin was really tired. She decided to have a good sleep first and talk about anything tomorrow!

The next day, Chen Xiaolin woke up from her sleep. She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar room and sighed deeply. She knew that she really couldn't go back. Although she was reluctant to live a good modern life, since she had traveled through time, she should live well for the original owner! As well as the original owner's grandparents, she will also be filial to them on behalf of the original owner.

Chen Xiaolin went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water as soon as she got up, and then took a rice roll and a bottle of pure milk from the space for breakfast. Although this breakfast is simple, it is suitable for people like her who have just recovered from illness.

The weather is good today. It is early June in Beijing and the sun is still shining brightly.

Chen Xiaolin planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something today and spend all the local bills in her hand, otherwise she would not be able to use the local bills when she returns to her hometown.

Chen Xiaolin carried a bag, locked all the doors at home and prepared to leave.

Chen Xiaolin's home is not far from the supply and marketing cooperative, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk. Chen Xiaolin often walked this road. She followed the route in her memory and arrived at today's destination after walking for a while.

The supply and marketing cooperative in Beijing is a three-story building. The first floor sells various groceries and food, the second floor sells fabrics and ready-made clothes, and the third floor sells luxury goods, such as bicycles, watches, radios, and sewing machines.

Chen Xiaolin herself has a watch, a Shanghai brand, which was a gift from her father when the original owner was admitted to high school.

As for the original owner's bicycle, which her mother rode to the institute, it was also destroyed in the explosion. However, Chen Xiaolin did have a three-turn and one-ring bill, which was the dowry saved by the original owner's parents for her.

There are no time or geographical restrictions on the three-ring-one bill, so Chen Xiaolin plans to buy a bicycle for transportation when she returns to her hometown. She does not plan to buy a sewing machine or a watch. She doesn't know how to make clothes, and she already has a watch. When the time comes, she can sell the bills or do favors.

She could buy a radio and give it to her grandfather. In her memory, her grandparents still loved the original owner.

Chen Xiaolin came to the counter on the first floor, pointed to what she wanted and told the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Sister, I want two catties of peach cake, two catties of chicken cake, five catties of brown sugar, two catties of white rabbit toffee, and five catties of fruit candy."

"Peach cake is three yuan, two kilograms of pastry is a coupon, chicken cake is three yuan, two kilograms of pastry is a coupon, brown sugar is seven and a half yuan, five kilograms of sugar coupons, White Rabbit toffee is four yuan, no sugar coupons, fruit candies are four yuan, five A total of twenty-one and a half kilograms of candy coupons, four kilograms of pastry coupons, and ten kilograms of candy coupons." The staff of the supply and marketing cooperative quickly packed the things Chen Xiaolin asked for in oil paper.

"I also want two enamel cups, two toothbrushes, two enamel basins, a large iron pot, a kettle, and a casserole." Chen Xiaolin didn't know if the industrial tickets she had were enough. I can buy less.

"Two enamel cups cost three yuan and two industrial votes, two toothbrushes cost one yuan and no votes are required, a large iron pot costs ten yuan and five industrial votes, a kettle costs three yuan and two industrial votes, and a casserole costs three yuan and no votes are required. A total of twenty dollars and nine industrial tickets."

Chen Xiaolin first took out 41 yuan from her bag, then counted four kilograms of pastry coupons, ten kilograms of candy coupons, and nine industrial coupons and handed them to the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Chen Xiaolin looked at the few bills left in her hand, and decided to take her things back first. It seemed that she still needed to go to the black market to exchange for some national bills, otherwise she would not be able to spend any money she had!

Chen Xiaolin left the supply and marketing cooperative and found a private place, then put everything she had in the space.

On her way back from the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Xiaolin happened to see a state-owned hotel. She just saw that she still had two kilograms of meat money and five kilograms of grain in her hand, so she decided to go in and have a big meal. How could she miss the braised pork in the novel!

"Isn't this Chen Xiaolin? I heard that you have become an orphan now. How about I introduce you to an object? Otherwise, I'm afraid that you will starve to death if you don't have money to eat."

As soon as Chen Xiaolin walked into the state-owned hotel, she saw her classmate He Yingying, because Chen Xiaolin always took first place in every exam, while He Yingying could only always be ranked second. So this time Chen Xiaolin lost her parents, He Yingying was very happy. Let's see if Chen Xiaolin can continue to be indifferent to others in the future.

"He Yingying, just accept the object you introduced! Anyway, a person like you who has many things to do will not be able to get married in the future, hum!" Chen Xiaolin is really annoyed with this He Yingying. She has something to say about whatever she does. I don't know where she got the time to pay so much attention to her own life.

"Chen Xiaolin, you still think you are a piece of cake! You are a little pathetic child without a father and mother. Just be content if someone wants you!" He Yingying glanced at Chen Xiaolin disdainfully, wondering how she would compare with herself in the future.
