Rebirth in 1980: The Farm Wife Makes a Comeback

He really liked to eat this, and it could be eaten hot or cold, tasting quite good. However, there weren’t many made at home. Apart from the few they brought over, the rest were taken by Little Taotao and Jian Zhiqin, those two little boys. If not given, they would cry. Even though he was shameless, he couldn’t possibly compete with children for food.

When the others heard this, they hurried over, taking turns to grab some for themselves. As it turned out, once they started eating, they couldn’t stop. Not only did everyone take a portion for themselves, but they also scrounged all the few pieces Qin Xiangyang had brought in his bag, leaving him with nothing when he went back.

Before closing the shop, Qin Jinuan had handed over 3,000 Spring Festival couplets to Teacher Wang. Teacher Wang found a channel and got over a thousand more on his own, which was also enough to make some money for the New Year expenses.

Qin Xiangnuan kept her word and gave the two children 500 couplets, which could end up making them hundreds of dollars. She wasn’t worried about them making a loss. It was just about using a sheet of paper and training the children. Taking some loss didn’t matter - they always needed to learn and grow.

Qin Xiangnuan had over 3,000 couplets left, planning to let her older brother and Hua Jun sell them together.

Jian Zhiqin, holding Little Taotao’s hand, nodded vigorously and promised to sell the couplets without wasting any. They all knew these were personally written by Qin Xiangnuan. Though paper and ink weren’t expensive, their sister’s effort and time were valuable, which shouldn’t be wasted. Furthermore, at a yuan per couplet and with Jian Zhiqin already in school, he certainly knew how to handle money. Although Little Taotao was younger and didn’t understand money yet, his pockets were big enough to hold it. Qin Xiangnuan had said it was a joint effort, so they had to sell together.

No matter who did more work, everything had to be split equally in the end.

She would judge their performance this year. If they did well, they could continue earning money every year, and their earnings might increase next year. However, if they underperformed, they would get nothing next year. Therefore, they absolutely needed to help each other.
