1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

When Chen Jiahao finished work, he brought back some bad news.

"A new group of educated youth is coming to the village. There are six of them this time. Everyone, please tidy up the house in the next couple of days!"

"Huh? The new educated youth have only been here for a little over a month, and now more new educated youth are coming?"

The older educated youth were the last to want to see the new educated youth arrive. Originally, only three people slept on the kang (heated brick bed) on the boys' side, and five people were already sleeping on the girls' side. With the arrival of the new educated youth, it would become crowded.

"Yes, the new educated youth will arrive in three days!"

"No, why so suddenly?"

Chen Jiahao shook his head, "I don't know either. The captain just told me to clean up the house. Li Hong, you're in charge of supervising the girls' cleaning!"

"Okay, I understand!"

Wen Li frowned. In the original book, the new educated youth didn't arrive until a year later. How did the plot change?

However, the arrival of the new educated youth did not affect her much. After listening to Chen Jiahao's arrangements, Wen Li returned to the backyard.

A short while later, Wen Li heard someone calling her name.

"Deng, is something the matter?"

"There's a letter for you outside!"

When Wen Li went to mail the letter at noon, she didn't dare to reveal her identity and didn't ask if there was a letter for her. Unexpectedly, it was delivered at this time.

Wen Li walked to the front yard and saw the mailman waiting outside on his bicycle, while other educated youths were also getting their own letters.

Wen Li took out her identification, and the deliveryman handed her two letters and two money order slips together.

In those days, a remittance slip was a single document that could be seen by others.

Both remittance slips were for ten yuan each, totaling twenty yuan. Wen Li glanced at them; one was from Shanghai, and the other was from the military.

It's obvious that the original owner's parents and older brother sent her money.

Guo Caixia looked at Wen Li and saw that her family only received a subsidy of twenty yuan a month, and the jealousy in her eyes was almost tangible.

Why is Wen Li so lucky? Not only does she have a family that dotes on her, but her family is also so generous to her.

And what about her? Even when she went to the countryside, her mother refused to prepare anything for her. Not only did she take away the subsidies for educated youth going to the countryside, she didn't give her a single penny!

"Guo, the educated youth?"

Liu Xiu nudged Guo Caixia, who was in a daze. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but Guo Caixia's appearance just now seemed really scary.

Guo Caixia snapped out of her daze, her face regaining its gentle smile. "What's wrong?"

"Your letter arrived!"

Guo Caixia was stunned for a moment. How could that be? Her parents would never spend money to write her a letter, but she still went to get her own letter.

The moment she opened the letter, it was filled with all sorts of vile and offensive curses. Her face contorted with rage for a moment. Only after reading the letter did she realize that her older brother had lost his job!

Guo Caixia's older brother's job was originally arranged by the Wen family. Wen Li told her family about Guo Caixia's situation, and not long after, Guo Caixia's older brother was caught red-handed and fired from the factory.

Guo Caixia was initially a little angry, but seeing that her older brother had lost his job, she felt much better.

Although she didn't know how her older brother lost his job, she had a gut feeling that it was related to Wen Li, and that Wen Li must have written back to complain.

He deserved it!

Wen Li was also reading the letters. She first read the letter written by her mother. Her mother inquired about her recent situation and praised the meat sauce that Wen Li sent, saying it was delicious. She and her father felt much better after eating the meat sauce. Her mother also told her not to work so hard and that the family would send her ten yuan every month from now on.

Wen Li smiled as she read the letter, and then opened the letter written by her eldest brother.

At first, Brother Wen was concerned about her life. Later, he wrote that he missed playing cat petting games together when they were little. Seeing that his sister had grown up so much and even learned to cook, he was very emotional.

He also praised the meat sauce that Wen Li sent, saying it was delicious and that his roommates liked it very much. They all envied him for having such a wonderful younger sister. He also mentioned that he would come to see her when he had a holiday.

After reading the letter, Wen Li's face relaxed considerably. It seemed that her brother understood the implied meaning in her letter. He specifically mentioned the cat-touching game, which was a hint that she should stay out of Li Lingling's business.

After reading the letter, Wen Li entered the space. She had been busy with the autumn harvest recently, and the rice and flour in the space were almost piled up like a mountain.

The water level of the spiritual spring has also risen considerably, exceeding the amount consumed during this period.

Wen Li plans to sell a batch of them on the black market first.

After dark, when all the oil lamps in the educated youth compound were extinguished, Wen Li quietly left from the backyard.

She practically left afterimages as she pedaled all the way before finally arriving at the commune.

She took out the rice and flour she had prepared beforehand, changed her clothes, and entered the black market.

The black market was noticeably more bustling at night than during the day, with many more people selling their wares. Wen Li found an empty spot, put down her basket, and untied the rope, revealing white rice and flour inside.

As soon as she put her things down, someone came up to ask her something.

"Hey young lady, how much is your rice per pound?"

You usually need coupons to buy rice and flour. Rice from the supply and marketing cooperative costs 13 cents a pound, and wheat flour costs 18 cents a pound.

The black market doesn't require coupons. Regular rice costs three mao (0.3 yuan) and flour costs four mao (0.4 yuan). Wen Li's rice and flour are both products from her space, and she doesn't want to sell them cheaply, but they can't be too ridiculously expensive either.

"Rice is four cents, flour is five cents!"

"Your price is too expensive! New rice is only three cents a day!"

Wen Li wasn't annoyed; she simply picked up a handful of white rice and showed it to everyone.

"Look at my rice, everyone! Every grain is plump and glossy, without a single grain of sand. When you cook it into porridge, it even produces rice oil. Can ordinary rice compare to that?"

Several elderly people immediately gathered around to take a look and found that Wen Li was indeed right, but the price was indeed a bit expensive.

The old man who asked at the beginning was somewhat interested after seeing it, but still felt the price was a bit high.

"Hey little sister, can you make it cheaper? How about 35 cents?"

Wen Li waved her hand, "Four cents is the lowest price I can offer. It can't be any lower, or I'll lose money too!"

"Give me ten pounds!"

A young woman standing to the side was a connoisseur; she could smell the rich aroma of the rice. Her son had a poor appetite, so she decided to buy some to try!

"Okay!"

Wen Li intended to weigh the woman, only to realize that she didn't have a scale.

She glanced at the elderly woman selling vegetables next door and asked, "Excuse me, ma'am, could I borrow your scale?"

The elderly woman was very easygoing and handed the scale to Wen Li directly, saying, "Take it and use it! You're new here, so you probably don't know, but you can rent scales in that yard over there!"

"I understand, I'll go rent it in a bit, thank you!"

The old woman waved her hand with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright! This is my own scale, anyway, I don't have any business here right now!"

Wen Li weighed ten jin for the young woman and charged her four yuan. This was the first time Wen Li had earned money since coming to this world, and she was overjoyed.

Once someone made a purchase, the onlookers also joined in. Wen Li brought about fifty jin each time, and the 108 jin of goods were sold out in half an hour.

When Wenli returned the scale to the old woman, she also gave her a pound of flour as a token of her gratitude.

"Thank you so much for the scales, ma'am! They've been a huge help!"

The older woman smiled and accepted the things. "Oh, young lady, you're too kind. You're new here and don't know many things. If you have any questions next time, just remember to ask me!"
