A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Chapter 299 Shen Jiaren learns that Chen Jiaojiao's parents have been sent to the brigade

Seeing that Shen Jiaren was silent, Chen Jiaojiao went straight to the point and said, "You have a job in town now, and you don't usually come back to the team. Is the reason you suddenly came back this time because of the matter with your house?"

Shen Jiaren raised her eyebrows and asked, "You know?"

Chen Jiaojiao nodded and said, "I know, this matter has caused quite a stir. Almost everyone in the village knows everything about it. However, I may know a little more than others in the village.

They may know a little more than Liu Mei and Zhao Yuanchao, whom you are looking for."

Shen Jiaren was a little bit incredulous. What did this mean? It was a well-known thing. Could it be that you knew the inside story?

Could it be that the originally delicate city girl has now become a gossip expert?

Chen Jiaojiao saw Shen Jiaren's expression and smiled, "I do know. I can tell you, but I have a condition."

Shen Jiaren's heart trembled suddenly, "What conditions? If your conditions are too outrageous, I would rather not know and just pretend I don't know."

Chen Jiaojiao, "Whether you agree to this condition or not, I will tell you everything I know. Do you want to listen to my conditions first?"

What Shen Jiaren was thinking was, what the hell? She told me the conditions whether I agreed or not, so why didn't she tell me first, give me a good deal, and then talk about the rest? Why did she tell me so far in advance?

Is this her new negotiation technique? Or does she believe sincerity is the ultimate killer move?

Shen Jiaren didn't dare to say anything, but just kept complaining in her heart.

Seeing that Shen Jiaren didn't say anything, Chen Jiaojiao assumed that she had tacitly agreed to her suggestion, so she continued, "I want to exchange some food and tickets from you every month. If you go to the black market to sell things, can you also help me sell some?"

Is this one condition? Are these two conditions? Shen Jiaren complained in her heart.

Chen Jiaojiao, "I know this is a bit unreasonable, but I have no choice now. You are in town now, you have a salary and tickets. I heard from the aunties in the village that you have three meals a day, and you basically don't have to spend any money. It's all taken care of by the government.

I earn money for three people now. If I exchange it elsewhere in the village, I'll be easily targeted and get into trouble. Besides, even if the villagers have a lot of food, it's only their own rations. There's no surplus. Unlike you, who can feed the whole family with one person's food."

Shen Jiaren, ... you are pitiful, everything you said is right.

Seeing that Shen Jiaren remained silent, Chen Jiaojiao looked at the ground and said in a low voice, "My parents were sent down to our team, in the cowshed behind the village. They didn't bring much with them, so they had to buy a lot of things. If they had to pay for everything, it would be easier. The key is that some things still require tickets. It's not easy to exchange them with others. It depends on the situation.

I'm on the team all day now and can't go to town every day, so I can't always get a ticket. The team leader said that the winter here is very cold. It's only been a short time since winter, but my hands and feet are already frozen. If I don't buy some cotton and cloth, I'm worried my parents won't be able to survive the winter here."

Shen Jiaren looked at Chen Jiaojiao in surprise. When she went to the town with her before, she saw in her parents' letter that there might be changes, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Moreover, being sent to the cowshed?? These were all people who received ideological education and were criticized and struggled against. How could her parents have been like this?

At that time, I naively thought that it might just be an official being demoted...
