Chapter 2240 Cousin is a capitalist lady 59

Zhao Yadong knew that Zhang Yu would definitely leave behind one watch, but he didn't expect her to leave behind two. "Are you sure you want both?"

Zhang Yu nodded continuously, "I want them all. If there are watches like this in the future, I will, I will want them all."

Huh? Zhao Yadong still couldn't figure out why Zhang Yu bought two watches. Was there enough time to wear them? And why did she buy more now when she already had one? He really didn't understand.

"You don't have enough time to wear it by yourself." Although he could also make money, they had a good relationship, so he still gave her some advice.

"It's too late to wear it, or I just haven't thought about wearing it."

Have you ever thought about wearing it? "You're just going to keep it as an antique?" If it were really an antique, Zhao Yadong would understand, but it's a watch. "Can this also increase in value?"

How to explain this? Rich people in later generations just play with watches. "I just think this watch is really beautiful. Look, are domestic watches as beautiful as this one?"

Zhao Yadong shook his head, "No."

"Yes, you see, domestic watches are not made as beautiful as this. Only a few watches are produced each year. You also said that this watch was brought back by the owner when he studied abroad before the liberation. Just think about how many years ago it is."

"Besides the owner's love for it, it's also because the product is of good quality. If I'm not mistaken, it's purely handmade."

"I think a watch like this will gradually become valuable in the future. After all, it's only 500 yuan." As long as this thing is well protected, it can definitely be exchanged for a lot of money.

Zhao Yadong was almost amused by Zhang Yu's words. "Five hundred yuan is nothing in your eyes. Workers in the city get a monthly salary, but there are really not that many people who earn more than five hundred yuan a year."

"Yes, of course I know that, but have you ever thought about how much meat cost on the black market a year ago, and how much it costs now?"

"Money is certainly good, but sometimes it will gradually become worthless. When everyone's wages increase, prices will also gradually go up."

"Although money deposited in the bank earns interest, how do you think I can save this amount of money?" Depositing 500 yuan in the bank now is a lot of money. "Even if I deposit 500 yuan this time and no one asks, I can deposit it later. Will no one ask?"

"In that case, I might as well buy something to keep. Small things are easier to store. Look at how big these two things are. If they cost 500 yuan, how much do you think they are worth?"

"And the money is really eye-catching." If Zhang Yu had to choose, he would of course choose something. "If things get better, this thing might be worth a lot of money."

"I was thinking, if possible, you could give me some cash." Daily expenses still require money, "and some of it is antiques, gold and silver jewelry, etc."

"Okay, I'll ask later." Zhao Yadong thought for a moment, "Do you think the situation will be better in the future?"

Even though he has earned more money since coming to the Northeast than when he was in his hometown, Zhao Yadong still hopes to return to his hometown. It's just the hope of going back, alas.

Seeing those educated youth who had been sent to the countryside for many years, they could only go back if they were recommended to go to university or had a job to take over at home. Otherwise, no matter how many years they had been in the countryside, they could only be educated youth.

"The village obviously has no shortage of labor. You see, everyone in the village thinks we are here to share food. The villagers here are pretty good and have some space..." Zhao Yadong often went out and was familiar with some situations. He recalled the news he had heard.

"Forget it, let's not mention it." Since he couldn't help, there was no need to mention it.

Although Zhang Yu often stays in the village, she still hears a few things. Apart from sighing, what else can she do? It is true that she is a tasker, but she is not omnipotent.

"Things will get better slowly."

Zhao Yadong hummed, "We can all go back."

"I can definitely go back." Zhang Yu said with certainty, "Although we are still mobilizing to become educated youth, some people's files have been sent down, but if they don't go, they will just stay at home. In the past, that would have been impossible."

Zhang Yu had heard people mention it before, but he had never done it. Now Zhang Tao heard that someone did it this way, which means that some people should be staying at home now.

Zhao Yadong hummed, "I remember a neighbor who fell seriously ill while in the educated youth area and came back for treatment. If I remember correctly, it seemed like it had only been two days since the operation, and his body hadn't recovered yet. The neighborhood office and the educated youth office took turns visiting him, just to get him out of here as soon as possible."

"Because of this, the family started arguing with the neighborhood committee and the Youth League Office. The neighbors also spoke out. It became a big deal. After all, it was a major procedure. That's how it was. He stayed at home for half a month, but he passed away before he could recover."

After that, he no longer knew what the other person was doing because he also became an educated youth.

After Zhao Yadong gave the things to Zhang Yu, he also told her about the things he had recently bought at a high price. Zhang Yu took out a pen and paper to write them down.

Zhang Hui heard the sound of the door closing in the next room, opened the door and took a look. As expected, she saw Zhao Yadong and Qian Hao leaving, then she closed the door thoughtfully.

Zhang Juan was resting on the kang. When she saw Zhang Hui open the door, she looked at the door and then closed it. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." He glanced at Zhang Juan lying on the kang and looked down upon her even more. This fellow was quite stupid. He kept nagging her about how she worked better than Zhang Yu and how she earned more work points in a day than Zhang Yu.

Yes, she now earns more work points than Zhang Yu in a day, but so what? Is this guy better than Zhang Yu?

In her opinion, this is not the case at all. Zhang Yu goes to work every day just to get some work points so that people know that she has an income.

If she guessed correctly, Zhang Yu actually had more income than remittances from home, which came from things he got from the mountains.

She knew that the Northeast was cold, but she didn't know much more. When she first came here, she felt very disappointed. It was so far from the city and the county town. In her mind, this was a very remote and desolate place.

Later she found out that the place she thought was boring was actually full of treasures. There were tigers and bears, to be sure, but there were more valuable treasures. The tigers and bears were treasures all over their bodies, as were wild boars, etc. As for pheasants and rabbits, not to mention, they could all be exchanged for money.

As for ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, everyone knows that they are valuable, as well as other Chinese medicinal materials, not to mention the mushrooms in the mountains. Otherwise, why do many villagers go up the mountain to rest? It's all money.

If you are lucky and dig up a ginseng, you will live a good life. For example, if you dig up a ginseng that is more than 20 years old, you can at least sell it for hundreds of dollars. Of course, ginseng is not so easy to dig, but as long as you are diligent, you will definitely make money.

She had been wondering how Zhang Yu could so simply propose to stop doing laundry and cooking. Perhaps it was because the money she earned from the mountains every year definitely exceeded the money given by the Zhang family, so she was very straightforward and simply refused to take the money.
