When Xu Nannan arrived on the black market, there were not many people selling things. Many people came from the countryside. They set up their stall booth early which means that they can sell out early, and they could even rush back that day.

When Xu Nannan came with two sackcloth bags, several people stared at her bag, wanting to know what was inside it immediately.

Xu Nannan opened the mouth of the bag to reveal the flours and eggs inside.

The flour was pure white, and the eyes of the passerby strangers were bright when seeing the product.

Almost at the same time, several people walked to Xu Nannan’s booth.

“Comrade, how much do you sell flour?” The one who was talking was an old aunt with a thin face but staring straight at the flour.

“Eggs, how much do you sell them?” a young woman said.

“How much is the flour? If it’s appropriate, I’ll want to buy it all.” The middle-aged man wearing glasses said excitedly.

There are not only Flour and eggs available but there are also fine grains. The fine grains she had are with high nutritional value, as expected from her Taobao.

It’s been a long time since the children in the family had a meal of fine food. They brought a meal back from the cafeteria, and the children could eat it.

The food in the City Town canteen is also quantitative, and they are not like the Nanjiang City Iron Mine canteen. As long as the City town comes with grain, it will first be supplied to the Iron Mine.

Adults can deal with cornmeal dried sweet potatoes, but children can’t do that. Since the famine in the past two years, the child is still swollen. It’s all caused by malnutrition.

Hearing that the middle-aged man wants to buy it all, others are unhappy, “No, if only you just want a single order. But you want to buy it all, what else will we buy then? How can you be so selfish?” The old aunt objected.

Xu Nannan didn’t expect fine grains to be so popular. She was worried that people would rather buy more cheap coarse grains to eat.

It seems that she had not understood enough the market situation. No matter what, when the business comes, you can’t push it out.

“Don’t fight, there is still food, I will try to sell the first batch, if you want more, I will come over tomorrow. I have many foods from my home village.”

The old aunt was not in a hurry, and asked, “Little comrade, how much do you sell the flour? Is there anything else? Is there any noodles?” She asked, her eyes already staring at the flour on Xu Nannan’s side. Thinking about it, she went back and rolled out the noodles by herself. The little grandson has been screaming for a long time.

“Flour is 70 cents a catty. Eggs are 2 cents a catty.” Xu Nannan said, “Five-liang food stamps for flour are enough. Eggs don’t need any food stamps.”

Xu Nannan knew about the price. The price of 30 cents per catty in the supply and marketing cooperatives is generally several times more expensive on the black market than in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Xu Nannan didn’t want to be too tricky either. The price is just right.

Sure enough, as soon as the price opened, the eyes of several people brightened, and their eyes became more eager when looking at the flour. Even the people who were only going to buy eggs regretted not being able to bring more food stamps and money with them. He simply said, “Bring me ten eggs, plus five kilograms of flour. When will you come tomorrow? I will come to you.”

“I want half of this. You call me, and I will give you money and food stamps right away.” The middle-aged man said.

The old aunt is not polite, and directly pays, “Give me ten catties of flour first.”

After the three simultaneously shouted and finished speaking, even someone that passed by came around to ask the price again.

After knowing the price, more people wanted to buy immediately.

“Please calm down, please fall in line, no cutoff, there’s enough for everyone!” said Xu Nannan in a hurry.

In a short while, everything was sold out, and even two linen bags she use were bought.

She got fifty eggs in total, sold them all, and made ten dollars. In addition, the flour was only 60 kilograms and sold for 35 yuan.

This trip made forty-five yuan, which is equivalent to one month’s salary of an ordinary worker.

Xu Nannan took the money in his arms and hurried back to the mine to go to work. Worried that someone would follow, she deliberately turned aside.

After finishing the evening, Xu Nannan also went to the evening school.

Xu Xiaoman also had Zhu Fang help watching. Zhu Fang heard that Xu Nannan reported to night school to study accounting, and felt that she was very motivated and very supportive.

The accounting at this time was still very different from the later ones, and there was a big difference in the textbooks, but fortunately, the changes were ignored. When she took the accountant exam in her previous life, she was quite solid in her studies, so she would understand it very well after listening to the teacher.

Most of the people who come to school in class are young people. Xu Nannan is the youngest inside. Generally, her age is either studying in a formal secondary school, or she is not in a hurry for further studies.

Although she understood everything, Xu Nannan was still very serious in class. She wrote down everything the teacher said in her notes. After class, she still looked for the teacher to ask questions.

The teacher is an elderly aunt who wears reading glasses and is more serious.

Not many people approached her to ask questions when it’s time to get out of class, and Xu Nannan approachdd her to ask questions after class. She was still a little surprised. She took a look at and found that despite the student’s young age, but her attitude is very good. And the notes are also very neat. This learning attitude immediately made the teacher feel good.

Xu Nannan asked the teacher as many questions as possible. The question is very detailed.

After all, she is a transfer student, and she didn’t take any previous courses. At the end of the semester, she wanted to get a one-time exam and get her diploma in advance. So no matter if she understand or don’t understand, she just ask again. In the future, her transfer student has passed the exam in one time, and others will not find it strange. It will only be because she has a good attitude and is smarter.

The accounting teacher soon, like Teacher He, realized that the child in front of her was a young woman of hard work.

A student who transfers to the class, she just talks about the knowledge that she hasn’t learned before, and the student will be able to master it. She has taught accounting classes for so many years, and she has met many students. It is really rare to have such a strong learning ability.

No matter what, teachers like smart students. Especially the kind of students who know how to speak.

After answering Xu Nannan’s doubts, the accounting teacher encouraged her to go try out for college or university.

At her age, if you calm down and study for a year or two, it will definitely be no problem to enter the university.

Although the academic qualifications of technical secondary schools are not low, she can also work as an officer in the mine. But if it is a college student, then it will be national officer.

At this time, college students are basically arranged to work in government units, and the worst can also find a cadre position in the mine. This student can work in the mine, and the political review will definitely be fine. When the time comes, the mine will recommend it. If you have good grades, you will definitely be able to pass the exam.

The accounting teacher had a good idea, but Xu Nannan never thought about going to college. But she didn’t say it directly. University is like a dragon gate to everyone, who will not be happy to have the opportunity to jump into the dragon gate? If she tells others that she doesn’t want to go to university, they will definitely think that she has a brain problem.

The people in the mine knew about Xu Nannan’s evening school.

This matter was spread by Jiang Lili.

The news first spread in the kitchen. After learning about Xu Nannan’s evening school, Jiang Lili ran into the canteen excitedly and talked to the workers in the canteen.

Look, how nice you are to Xu Nannan, but she went to a night school. This is to betray the cafeteria staff’s kindness.

If Xu Nannan left the kitchen, Jiang Lili would be the happiest. She was just after for Xu Nannan’s position before, but now that person is not pleasing to the eye, and she feels irritated whenever she sees Xu Nannan everywhere.

But after several confrontations with Xu Nannan, she didn’t lose her advantage, but was ridiculed by others. She looked at Xu Nannan not pleasing to her eyes everywhere. Even if Xu Nannan is going to night school now, so she may be leaving the kitchen, she also thinks Xu Nannan is not pleasing to their eyes, and wants to find a way to make her life difficult.

When Master Du asked Xu Nannan about the Night School, Xu Nannan did not hide it, but admitted directly.

She couldn’t deny this kind of thing, and she didn’t want to go to school secretly.

“I didn’t have much chance to study in the village before, and now I come to mine, I also want to learn more knowledge.” Xu Nannan said.

Before Master Du spoke, Jiang Lili sneered and said, “Huh, it’s so nice, I have come to work in the kitchen, while I still get to learn knowledge? Just learn how to cook well. You are obviously leaving our kitchen. You see, She is a traitor!”

“Jiang Lili, you are wrong. Who says that people in our cafeteria can’t learn knowledge? You think people in our cafeteria can only take pans and spatula.”

Some people are unhappy when they heard this. Even if they work in the canteen, they are very honorable. I’m a cook, I am also honorable. Does cooking mean ignorance? Who said that, call it out, I promise not to kill him!

Xu Nannan said, “I don’t keep everyone from you, I do have this idea. I want to learn knowledge, and I want to take a formal job test in the future. It doesn’t matter where I work, but I want to get a regular job. There are so many cafeteria establishments. I want to get a regular job in the future. If I am recruiting workers in the mine, I must sign up. I’m sorry for betraying everyone’s trust in me. I’m sorry, everyone.”

After speaking, she bent over to everyone.

“What are you talking about, stand up?” Aunt Liao who was close to her hurriedly stopped her.

Master Du, with his hands on his back, with a big belly, looked at Xu Nannan seriously, “Comrade Xu Nannan, you work in the cafeteria, and you know how we all treat you. Because of what, your ability to have quick hands and feets? No, but because we think you are a smart child. You can become a talented person in the future.”

Master Du said in a more serious tone. Others also looked at Xu Nannan nervously.

If Master Du doesn’t like Xu Nannan in the future, and wants to target her, he will leave the dirty work in the cafeteria to Xu Nannan in the future, and no one can say anything.

Jiang Lili smiled at Xu Nannan while gloating.

Traitor, you deserve it!

Xu Nannan did not continue to explain. The people in the cafeteria treat her very well, and she knows it herself. But it was impossible for her to change her mind.

She doesn’t care at most to work more in the future. She used to mow hogweed in the village and went in the wind and rain, but she still persisted.

“Pa-pa” Master Du slapped the table.

The others were taken aback.

“Hahahaha, that’s great, we didn’t misunderstand the wrong person. Comrade Xu Nannan is really a talented individual. Even if she works in the cafeteria, she has not forgotten to learn knowledge and become literate in the future. Who would dare to say that we are a big fools in the future? The people in the cafeteria are uneducated and only take pans and spatula? Nannan will give us honor and a face in the future.”

Master Du’s belly, and his smiling double chins came out.

This was a shock. The people in the cafeteria didn’t react for a long time. After he finished speaking, everyone clapped loudly.

“Nannan, good job, study hard.” Someone encouraged her.

“That’s right, it’s a good thing to learn knowledge. Looking at those clerical officers who are so bullish and mean, don’t they have a bit of academic qualifications? Nannan also went to take the test. The people in our cafeteria are not ignorant and uneducated, as long as they go for the test, they can still be clerks. Those clerks may not be able to do the work of the big canteen.” Aunt Liao also laughed.

Xu Nannan looked at everyone’s encouraging eyes, and Jiang Lili’s face that changed color angrily.

Xu Nannan is still very cautious about this era. This has something to do with her own personality, and she has always felt that this era is very dangerous, so she has never been too convinced by everyone.

Even just now, she didn’t think the people in the cafeteria would forgive her.

As a result, everyone supported her so much. She didn’t feel that her idea of leaving the cafeteria was a betrayal.

“Master Du, she is a traitor!” Jiang Lili said excitedly.

“What traitor?” Master Du squinted at her, “Speaking of small things, they all work for our mines, and talking about the big ones, they all work for socialism. Where are the traitors?”

Xu Nannan squinted and smiled happily. “Master Du is right. No matter where I am, I work for our big family. No matter what I do, I will work hard like I’m working at the cafeteria.” then she look at Jiang Lili, “Comrade Jiang Lili, your thinking is too narrow, which is not good. Small group thinking is very bad, and it will affect social harmony.”
