Chapter 192 The Educated Female Youth of the Time 17

Hundred-year-old wild ginseng can be regarded as a rare treasure. In the eyes of the world, it is a spirit. This top-grade medicinal material is hard to come by, and it can save lives at critical moments.

Such a precious thing should not be sold.

Chu Yuan recounted the whole story of how he got this ginseng.

The old hunter's wife was seriously ill and had to go to the provincial hospital for surgery. In order to raise enough money for the treatment, he took out the ginseng he had collected for many years.

Chu Yuan also met him when she was picking grass for pigs in the mountains. At that time, the old hunter accidentally fell and lay on the ground unable to move. She happened to pass by and went up to help him.

She also took out the medicine she carried with her and gave it to him. To thank her, the old hunter gave her a pheasant.

Later, Chu Yuan also bought prey from him several times. Most of the dried chickens and dried rabbits he brought back this time were bought from the old hunter.

The old hunter knew that she was not short of money, so he came to her with ginseng.

Of course, the story was made up by Chu Yuan, because she found this ginseng deep in the mountains, and raised it in the spiritual medicine field in the space for several years before it grew into its current appearance.

However, the story about the old hunter was true, and Chu Yuan had indeed exchanged prey with him several times. However, the two never saw each other again after his wife fell ill.

Father Chu looked at it for a few seconds and then closed the box. "Yuanyuan, no one can tell anyone that our family has a hundred-year-old wild ginseng. Do you understand?"

Chu Yuan knew the stakes of this: "Don't worry, Dad. So far, only the hunter who sold me the ginseng and the three of us know about it. I won't tell anyone."

In this way, the ginseng was put into Chu's father's safe.

Chu's father also compensated Chu Yuan for the 1500 yuan she spent on selling ginseng.

At this time, Chu Yuan already had a huge sum of more than 5000 yuan in his hands.

During the years she lived in the countryside, her family sent her money every month, but her daily food, clothing and other expenses came from the space, so she had no chance to spend money, so she saved it all.

Chu Yuan plans to use the money to buy a house in Beijing, preferably one near the school, so that he doesn’t have to live in the dormitory.

This year is the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination, and many candidates are married with children.

However, they cannot be separated from their children just to go to college, so many women choose to take their children to school with them and usually leave them in the dormitory.

Chu Yuan couldn't accept the fact that his roommate took his child to school. Although this was only a low-probability event, moving out was a good option to solve the problem from the root.

The future value of houses in Beijing is immeasurable, and buying a house at this time is definitely the most cost-effective. You should be able to buy a house with a private courtyard for 5000 yuan.

However, as the only college student among the younger generation of the Chu family, her savings are more than that.

To congratulate her on getting admitted to university, her grandparents first gave her a red envelope of 1000 yuan, and then her aunts and uncles came to visit her one after another, saying that they wanted to ask for advice on her study experience.

As a result, Chu Yuan received so many red envelopes that his hands were almost overwhelmed, not to mention that his three brothers were also generous and gave each of them 500 yuan.

In this way, her housing purchase funds increased from 5000 yuan to 8800 yuan, which was enough to buy a smaller courtyard house.

March 1978, 3 was the day Chu Yuan was going to report to Jingshi University.

She set off a week earlier, saying that she wanted to adapt to the environment here first.

Chu's father and mother were not worried about her traveling far away alone, but they were poor and they were always worried that their child would not eat well or sleep well when she was away.

The best way to solve the problem of food and accommodation is, of course, to spend money, so Chu's father gave her another 1000 yuan, telling her not to put herself in a difficult position outside.

Chu's mother wrote her the address of her grandparents' home and told her to visit the two elderly people and ask them for help if she had any problems in Beijing in the future.

As far as the original owner could remember, she had only been to her grandmother's house four times, all during the Chinese New Year. Because transportation was inconvenient in that era, they usually communicated through letters.

Although they didn't spend much time together, the original owner's grandparents still loved her very much and often sent her beautiful clothes from Beijing.

So after arriving in Beijing, the first thing Chu Yuan did was to visit his grandmother.

My grandparents are old and have retired from the hospital a long time ago. They now live in the city with their eldest son, Chu Yuan’s uncle and his family.

When Chu Yuan came to the house, he brought some cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, tea bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, as well as fruits grown in the space.

When the grandmother saw her granddaughter whom she hadn't seen for many years, she was so excited that tears came to her eyes.

"Yuanyuan, you can stay at home during this period before school starts. I have even prepared a room for you."

Chu Yuan's uncle is a policeman. Now the family lives in the police station's staff building, which has three bedrooms and a living room.

If Chu Yuan came to live with her, the children from her uncle's family would have to sleep on the floor in the living room, so she politely declined the old man's kindness.

She planned to find a guest house near Beijing University and stay there. She would look for a suitable house in the next two days and try to move in before school started.

Although her grandparents wanted to keep her, they also knew the situation of their eldest son's family, so they acquiesced to her behavior.

But even though I don’t live here, I must eat here.

At the strong request of his grandparents, Chu Yuan stayed for dinner.

The dinner in the evening was very sumptuous, with chicken, fish and a plate of braised pork, all cooked by my grandmother herself.

During the meal, she kept picking up food for Chu Yuan. Fortunately, Chu Yuan had a good appetite, so he was able to accept the old man's kindness.

After dinner, she took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Her aunt did not let her help with the dishwashing and directed her two cousins ​​to do it.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Yuan said goodbye, otherwise it would be dark soon.

Although the two elderly people were reluctant to leave, they knew it would be unsafe after dark, so they did not force them to stay.

However, Chu Yuan's second cousin followed her out and said that they were worried about her being out alone at night, so they would wait until she entered the guesthouse before going back.

The guesthouse Chu Yuan found was just across the street from Jingshi University. Her second cousin dropped her off and then left.

After a night's rest, Chu Yuan began to inquire about the house in the surrounding area. In the streets and alleys, there were women gathered together to chat, and old men gathered together to play chess.

These people are a natural intelligence group. There is nothing going on in the surrounding area that they don't know.

Chu Yuan took out the weapon he used to capture old men and women, a bag of melon seeds, and gave a handful of them to everyone he met, then began to ask if there was anyone selling a house nearby.

Seeing that she was generous, the old men and women were willing to talk to her more. There were a few families around who were selling houses, but they were unable to do so because the prices were too high.
