Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 65
It was the first time she used sanitary products. She didn’t know that the tape on the sanitary products had to be torn off and stuck on her pants. She didn’t know when the sanitary products were removed from her pants. When she went to the toilet to change, her pants were empty. She had no idea where it went.
It probably fell from the loose pants; she didn’t know.
After all, she wore pants that her cousin didn’t want. Her cousin was eight years older than her and would not give her the clothes that were good. She just gave them to her if she couldn’t wear them anymore. The pants were so big, and they fell off unconsciously. Well, it was not normal.
Anyway, it was still a mystery.
Later, when she had no money, Grandpa picked up rags and sold them on weekends. Although he didn’t earn much, he accumulated little by little. With what grandpa gave her, she could finally use sanitary products.
As she was experiencing it again, Jiang Ning was very calm. She grabbed her school uniform jacket and tied it around her waist, and went to the canteen to buy sanitary products and panties.
She wasn’t even shy. She grabbed the sanitary products and was about to go upstairs to her dormitory. The aunt at the canteen quickly brought her a black plastic bag. Only then did Jiang Ning realize that the black plastic bag was used to hold sanitary products.
Every little girl who came to buy sanitary products would sneakily wrap it in a black plastic bag and hide it in her arms, shyly rushing upstairs for fear of being seen.
Only Jiang Ning was carrying a bag, as calm and generous as if she had bought a notebook.
On Friday, the students who had been detained for two weeks were finally able to leave school. After two days off, most of the students chose to go home because they either had no money, no food, or too many dirty clothes that had to be taken home to be washed by their mother or older sisters.
Xu Xiuli packed her things at noon. As soon as the bell rang, she immediately ran back to her dormitory. She was as happy as a deer and couldn’t wait to go home.
The other girls in the room also left one after another. Jiang Ning thought they were all gone and was about to continue writing. On the upper bunk opposite the window, a tan-skinned girl lying on the bed asked her, “Jiang Ning, won’t you go back?”
Jiang Ning was shocked.
She thought that everyone in the dormitory was gone. “Why didn’t you go back?”
The tanned girl turned over and looked at the low ceiling. “What will I do when I go back? There is no place for me to stay, so I might as well stay in the dormitory.”
The girl’s name was He Xiaofang, the same Xiaofang who sang in the song “There is a girl in the village named Xiaofang, she is good-looking and kind” during the Spring Festival that year.
Xiaofang lived up to the name of that song. She had thick black hair, which was tied with a rubber band. She was originally tanned, but after a week of military training, she was even more tanned. Her eyes and teeth were white.
Miss Xiaofang’s lower lips were thick, but the shape was very full, and her facial features were also straight, giving her a kind of honest and healthy beauty.
She turned on her side, propped up her body with her elbows, and asked Jiang Ning, “You haven’t said anything yet, why haven’t you gone back?”
Jiang Ning didn’t answer. She looked from the balcony to the distant pond on campus.
She wanted to go back. She wanted to go back to see her grandpa, and she wanted to take him over.
Thinking of it, she immediately couldn’t sit still, put on her shoes, got up, and walked out.
At this time, Wucheng had not yet been developed. Except for the location of the county’s central commercial street and a few stations, the entire Wucheng was a deserted place that would be very prosperous in the future with high housing prices. Later, high-speed rail stations and various high-end residential areas would be built.
After entering the new millennium, her best friend’s father heard the news from somewhere that Wucheng was going to be promoted from a county to a city. He bought twenty acres of land in the suburbs of Wucheng early, but there had been no progress in the county’s promotion to a city. Her father ran out of money, so he had to find a way to make money and build a house on the land.
First, they built a row of bungalows as restaurants and sold them to workers on nearby construction sites. Later, when they made money, they built a row of two-story buildings as hotels.
Probably because he lived far away from Wucheng, making it difficult to open a hotel in it, he came to its suburb. Some people rented a room for a month. He continued to build houses after making money. The hotel was upgraded.
Later, more houses were built, and more money was earned. Originally, he built the house waiting to demolish it later. When Wucheng was promoted to a city, the land he bought immediately got a price hike. Because it was close to the high-speed rail station, the hotel business was very good.
Jiang Ning didn’t go to the suburbs. She first went to the small commodity market to buy some vests and underwear, and then walked slowly along the moat.
There were willow trees on both sides of the moat, and the mottled city walls on the sides were old and vicissitudes of life, full of traces of time.
Along the moat and the old city wall, the two sides of the river in the tourist economic development zone, which was a key tourist attraction, were overgrown with reeds and desolate.
The fee for the issue of Wuxia had arrived, 400 yuan, and so she had a total of 1,500 yuan in her bankbook, not counting the change she took out.
By the end of the month on the 29th, Wuxia would pay her two royalties, one for the 1,000-word and 45,000-word fee before she signed the contract with Wuxia, and the other for the 1,000-word fee after the contract was signed for fifty-five thousand words.
Just calculating these two amounts of money, Jiang Ning was going crazy.
She could take advantage of the National Day to take her grandfather to a major hospital in Shanghai for a physical checkup.
Wucheng was not close to Shanghai, but it was not too far either. There were direct buses from the bus station.
The money in Jiang Ning’s bankbook should be enough to take Grandpa Jiang for a physical check-up. The question was, how could she convince Grandpa Jiang to give up his job as a ranger, come to the city with her for a check-up, and live with her in the city in the future?
Grandpa Jiang had never set foot outside the land where he was born and raised. The farthest place he had traveled was an endless stretch of wild lotus root beach at the end of the river in the neighboring city. During the famine years, that lotus root beach fed all the people within a hundred miles, many of whom were about to starve to death.
In his era, all the educated youths were looking forward to returning to the city. He heard many things about the big cities outside from the educated youths.
