Chapter 40: Sixty-nine peasant mother-in-law (17)
"It's okay to send it to school. If the money is not enough, I will come to me and I can still take out the money for school. It's also good to graduate from elementary school!"
Qiaomu then realized that there were about seven or eight years left before the school was closed. If he rushed to school now, he might have a chance to get a junior high school diploma.
When classes are closed in the future, you will have the opportunity to take the exam to enter the factory after graduating from junior high school. Although the chance of a rural household registration may be a little small, it is better than not having a junior high school diploma and not having a slight chance. As long as you have the opportunity, it is always possible to find a way to do activities.
"Mom, why do I have the nerve to ask for your money!
You are not unaware that the old Liu family was a middle-aged peasant. The family has some wealth. Moreover, it is not expensive to go to school now, which is much cheaper than going to private schools in the past, and now paper and pen are much cheaper than in the past. If I hadn't come to you today, I wouldn't have remembered this, and my children would have to study."&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Qiao Hua quickly declined.
The Liu family she married had a pretty good family before. She had a small business and had accumulated a lot of funds. However, in 1947, she was robbed of a batch of goods and almost lost the money. In the end, there was no way, and almost sold out all the fields at home, leaving only three or five acres, and then she barely paid off the payment for the goods owed to others.
But because of this, it was not divided into rich peasant landlords in 1950, and they were only divided into middle peasants. Middle peasants did not need to be criticized and naturally would not search the house. In addition, the Liu family was timid and handed over all the three acres of land they had left in time. Therefore, they still had a little inventory of things, but the rest in their hands were basically stuffed in the box, decorated with gold and other things. These things were not easy to sell, and they didn't dare to send them to the bank to exchange for money. Besides, even if they had money, they didn't have the courage to go to the black market to exchange grain, so they seemed to be more down and out, but in fact, it was still good compared to other families in the village.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"The Liu family still has some wealth?"
Qiao Mu also reacted and asked curiously.
"It's still a little bit. There are still sweet potatoes to support recently, but we are worried that we can't hold on, so we are thinking about whether to find a way to bring things to the black market to exchange for some food!
I just don't know if gold is easy to change.
Mom, you know that gold is prohibited from circulation now, and gold is not as used as money, and it is depreciating significantly.
So it's really hard to say.
But there is no way. Who made my father-in-law worry about the depreciation of the silver dollar at that time and exchanged all the remaining silver dollars at home for gold? Who can know that the gold is not allowed to be used now, and he has to go to the bank to exchange it for money to use it. But how dare we change it? If it is changed, what should we do if we accidentally treat it as a landlord and rich peasant by others!&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Alas, it’s a headache!”
Qiao Hua was also a little worried when she said this. Although there were more than a dozen taels of gold at home, those gold could not be eaten as food. If there was no food, she would starve to death just like gold. But the key now is that gold cannot be used as money as in the past, and then the market does not want to buy things like in the past.
Very annoying.
"It's okay, you can borrow it from me if you can't!
Otherwise, I can give me a few taels of gold. I will exchange it for you at the bank price. Maybe I can even make a gold bracelet!"
Qiaomu said with a smile.
Of course, she was not greedy for the taels of gold in Qiao Hua's family. There are still hundreds of treasure pots in her farm. Those treasure pots are not counted as gold, silver and jewelry. The treasure pots weigh dozens of kilograms and are pure gold, so there is no need to greedy for them at all. They just want to help their daughter.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
There are indeed risks in exchange for gold in banks these days. If you are not careful, you may be reported. After all, those families with gold inventory at home now generally have not had a low social status more than ten years ago. They either have capital or land. The situation will inevitably be more difficult. Therefore, most people are unwilling to send gold to banks at all. They would rather lose money privately and exchange what they want with others directly.
"Is this OK?"
Qiao Hua was also a little moved. She was indeed very brave. If she had not forced herself, she would not have thought of using gold to exchange things on the black market. Now her mother is willing to recycle gold at the bank price. How could she not be moved?
"It's okay, who made me your mother!
But I don’t have much money in my hand. If you change one or two taels, it’s enough for the time being. I can’t take out the more I have. I heard someone say some time ago that it seems that the current purchase price of gold in the bank is 170 yuan per tael.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
We can also click this!
But I will make up at most two taels of gold for you. In fact, it’s enough for you to exchange one tael. One hundred and seventy dollars is enough for you to spend a while!"
Of course, Qiao Mu cannot afford to change it, but she must consider whether it is reasonable for her daughter to keep some gold for her daughter to maintain her value, and whether it is reasonable for her to spend so much money. More than 300 yuan can be said to be the royalties for more than half a year, but if she takes out more than 3,000 yuan, it would be a no-brainer.
"Mom, are you serious?
Do you really have so much money in your hands?”
Qiao Hua widened her eyes and looked surprised. At that time just now, she really didn't believe that her mother could have money for one or two gold coins.
“Of course it’s true!
You wait, I'll show you!"
Qiao Mu gave her a blank look, immediately turned around to block Qiao Hua's view, pretended to take out more than twenty pictures of Dalian from her Penguin Farm, and shook twice.
"Look, that's not!"
"My mother, you are really rich, this is different from the cultural people!
Mom, I want to change it!
But I didn't bring it now, so I'll go back and get a little or two of gold!"
It was not until then that Qiao Hua really believed that her mother had really money to exchange for gold. She was so excited that she hurriedly got up and went back to get the gold, as if she was afraid that Qiao Mu would regret it.
"What's the hurry? Take the money back first.
I also bring cornmeal, so I can bring gold to me when I have time. There is no need to rush it like this."
Qiao Mu had a pretty good sense of the original daughter. In 1942, the daughter also gave him hundreds of kilograms of grain to the original body, and then the original body divided it to his two sons' houses, which allowed them and all of them to survive.
It can be said that Qiao Hua forcibly resisted the pressure from her mother-in-law and gave her body the same amount. She finally bought hundreds of kilograms of food and saved their whole family. For this past incident, even if Qiao Mu didn't believe anyone, she would not believe her daughter.
While speaking, Qiao Mu had already counted seventeen pictures from the stack of great union that he had just taken out and handed them to Qiao Hua happily and neatly.
