In this era, although there was electricity, they were only small, dim light bulbs used for household lighting.

In order to save electricity bills, every household turns off the lights once it gets dark.

Therefore, there is still a big difference from the later generations where neon lights are everywhere even in the early hours of the morning.

In later generations, due to the development of science and technology, nightlife is still very lively.

At that time, the night was quiet, with almost no one coming out in the middle of the night, except for a few people who had fallen asleep and woke up in a daze.

Qin Huairu carried the quilt and walked seven or eight kilometers to the meeting place.

Although the journey was long, Qin Huairu did not feel tired at all.

Just kidding, Qin Huairu was too late to be happy when she thought that she would soon receive one hundred yuan, fifty pounds of noodles, and twenty pounds of meat. How could she feel tired?

I just waited here all night and saw no one at all.

Until daybreak, Qin Huairu's expression of expectation disappeared and was immediately replaced by a look of resentment.

"Hezi! Bad Hezi! Bad Hezi! You lied to me again!"

"You didn't come again!"

…

Zou He got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and then returned to the house.

Qin Jingru woke up immediately. After waking up, she hugged Zou He for warmth.

With Zou He's physical fitness, one can imagine what happened next.

…

When I woke up again, it was already bright.

While Zou He was washing, he signed in his mind.

[Ding! Sign in successfully! Obtain 100 golden melon seeds, 10 deer whips, 10 pounds of rice wine, 10 sheep treasures, physical strength increased by 1]

Another hundred golden melon seeds were awarded. Zou He took out a few and looked at them. They probably weighed a gram each.

One hundred pieces is equivalent to one hundred grams. In this era, gold costs more than six yuan per gram. One hundred grams is equivalent to more than six hundred yuan.

Hiss! It’s not like I don’t know, I’m just shocked.

These six hundred people are all ordinary strong laborers who have been working hard for nearly ten years.

After all, a laborer who works a full day only earns twelve work points, which when converted into money, is only twenty or thirty cents, which is seven or eight yuan a month, and only seventy or eighty yuan a year.

Isn’t it just ten years younger?

Just signing in casually is enough to keep others busy. This feeling is not ordinary and refreshing.

In addition, I also gave Lubian Yangbao rice wine. Good guy, what are you doing?

It also gives physical strength, a benefit that was not obtained by signing in. Zou He originally thought that his physical strength was at its strongest, but he did not expect that it could be improved.

Okay, it's for free, don't want it for free.

"Hezi, what are you holding?" Jingru was shocked and looked at the golden melon seeds in Zou He's hand.

"Put away the golden melon seeds that my parents left for me when they were still alive." Zou He said, taking out the golden melon seeds and handing them to his wife Jingru.

"Ah!!!" Qin Jingru's face turned red. Even though she wanted it very much, she still said, "This, this is too valuable, so you should just let it go. I'm afraid."

"What's there to be afraid of? Just hold it. Aren't my things yours? Are you afraid of losing them?" Zou He said with a smile.

"Okay then, I'll put it away for you. If you need it, feel free to come to me and get it." Qin Jingru said, putting it away carefully.

"This is for you. Take this some other time and make a gold necklace for you to wear." Zou He said.

"Ah?????????" Qin Jingru took a breath of air, her face turned red, she swallowed and said, "No, no, no, no."

"What? You don't like it?" Zou He said with a smile.

"It's not that I don't like it, of course I do. It's just that it's too expensive. If I wore such an expensive gold necklace, I probably wouldn't dare to go out." Qin Jingru explained as if facing a formidable enemy.

"It's okay. I asked you to wear it, but I didn't ask you to wear it outside. If you wear it inside, no one can see it." Zou He said with a smile: "And you can wear it, but as long as I am here, no one will dare to make a mistake.

.”

"Then... let me think about it." Qin Jingru was still reluctant to part with it. Although she liked gold and silver bracelets very much, having such a large handful of gold melon seeds made into a necklace really made her feel reluctant to part with it. She was thinking about changing it.

If the money is saved at home, it can cover expenses for a long time.

"Don't worry," Zou He and Qin Jingru had already been connected with each other for a long time. Naturally, they knew what was going on in her little head, and immediately said with a smile: "Even if it really needs to be exchanged for money, gold maintains its value better than paper notes. You...

If you keep it for twenty years, it can still be converted into money that can buy the same thing in the future, and it will still retain its value. You can turn it into a gold necklace and use it as your jewelry. Listen to me."

Zou He is telling the truth. One gram of gold costs 6.6 yuan these days. One hundred grams of gold is equivalent to 600 yuan.

A few decades later, the price of gold will be more than 500 per gram, which can be exchanged for 50,000 yuan.

In terms of purchasing power, which one has better purchasing power: 600 yuan in the 1960s or 50,000 yuan a few decades later?

Let’s calculate based on the price of pork. In the 1960s, pork was 60 cents, and 600 yuan could buy 1,000 kilograms of pork.

A few decades later, if pork costs 20 yuan per pound, you can buy about 2,500 pounds of pork.

There are another 1,500 kilograms of pork here. It can be seen that if it is converted into gold, it will not be a loss after decades, and it may even make a little profit.

Of course, I only list one price here for reference, which is not very standard, but it is not bad.

So based on this logic, if you buy gold at that time, it will also appreciate in value.

It’s just that there’s not much room for appreciation, but gold is very valuable, so at least it won’t lose money.

This is also the reason why some large financial groups or countries will hoard gold, because it is stable and profitable.

"Really?" Qin Jingru was doubtful.

"Of course it is true. Gold is an eternal currency. If you hold this gold, whether it is placed in the Qing Dynasty a hundred years ago or decades later, it can be immediately converted into money in any country.

, and it maintains value and can be passed down to family members, which is much safer than storing cash." Zou He said.

In recent days, Qin Jingru has also been studying knowledge and has a little understanding of gold currency.

When Zou He said this, Qin Jingru understood and immediately said gratefully: "Then I will listen to you Hezi, Hezi, you are so good to me."

"Isn't it right to be nice to you? You performed so well last night?" Zou He said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru's pretty face turned red and she lowered her head in shame: "Oh, you're talking nonsense again, I'm ignoring you."

…

After breakfast, Jinlong Baofeng still hadn't gotten up.

Zou He briefly communicated with Qin Jingru again.

Then, with Qin Jingru's reluctant eyes, she pushed the 28 big bar and walked out of the door.

Walking to the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu waited for Zou He there like a resentful woman.

"Hezi, what do you mean?" Qin Huairu asked in a questioning tone with dark circles under her eyes.

"Oops, I forgot again last night, look at me," Zou He had already planned and immediately made up: "Tonight, I will definitely do it tonight."

"????" Qin Huairu came over with a glare but didn't reply.

"What? Are you unwilling? Well, I won't force you. Forget it if you don't want to. Just pretend this never happened. Bye!" Zou He said, immediately greased the soles of his feet and ran away.

Originally, Zou He wanted to tease Qin Huairu about this matter.

Over the years, Qin Huairu has troubled Zou He a lot.

Isn't it right to tease her?

As for Qin Huairu being angry, Zou Hecai didn't care.

The angrier you are, the better. The most angriest is to never say a word to yourself, then you can be considered peaceful.

Over the years, every morning when he passed by, Qin Huairu would ask, 'Where is Hezi at work?' 'Where is Hezi after get off work?' 'Where is Hezi out?'... and other such words. To be honest, Zou He had had enough.

I have quarreled with Qin Huairu and scolded Qin Huairu, but I just wanted to slap her with a big mouth.

But it didn't work at all, so Zou He came up with this countermeasure to see if he could cure her.

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Zou He was in a hurry to leave, Qin Huairu immediately said, "Are you sure tonight?"

"Of course it's confirmed? What? You don't believe it? Forget it if you don't believe it, I won't force you." Zou He said again.

"Okay, I will trust you one last time." Qin Huairu said.

"Okay, goodbye." Zou He said, and immediately pushed the cart out of the courtyard.

As for whether to go or not?

Qin Huairu can just wait.

…

This day we came to the steel rolling mill.

Zou He discovered that Yu Haitang had changed.
