If your brain cannot keep up, the wealth in your hands will definitely return to society in various ways.

For example, being scammed.

Think about those stubborn people who still transfer money to scammers even decades later… Wen Jiajia hopes Wen Chun and Wen Xuan won’t be among them.

Wen Jiajia put her hands behind her back and asked Wen Chun, “Have you written the two pages of numbers for today?”

Wen Chun raised her chin and said proudly, “I wrote them. I wrote them as soon as I got back, and I didn’t make any mistakes this time.”

She hadn’t even used an eraser today!

Wen Jiajia patted her shoulder gently and said with relief, “Not bad, I’ll bring you some delicious food when your aunt comes back from her business trip.”

Wen Xuan’s eyes lit up: “What’s delicious?”

Wen Jiajia: “Well, let me think about it. I’ll bring you the most authentic butterfly cakes! The ones from the big hotels.”

Wen Chun exclaimed in surprise, “Aunt, are you going to Hai City?”

“Yeah, how did you know?”

“Because that’s where the butterfly cakes come from.” Wen Chun said with blushing cheeks, “The teacher said Hai City is so big and prosperous, with tall buildings and department stores that are many times bigger than those in our city! Feifei bought a hairpin there!”

Wen Jiajia waved her hand and said, “If there is a chance, Auntie will buy one for you too.”

“Wow!”

The two children jumped up with excitement and screamed “Ahhhhhhh,” noisier than the cicadas outside the house!

Seeing that the two of them were taking it well, Wen Jiajia went into the house. She still had to pack her luggage.

Wen Jiajia took down the suitcase from the top of the wardrobe. She had bought this suitcase at the beginning of the year.

At that time, a batch of suitcases had arrived at the department store, and some of the suitcases were damaged during transportation. Lao Yu asked her if she wanted them, and of course, Wen Jiajia wanted them.

She even shamelessly asked for two, one large and one small. The small one was for traveling in the summer, and the large one was for winter. Wen Jiajia was using the small one at the moment.

The exterior of the suitcase was made of leather, the four corners were wrapped with iron sheets, and the handles were also made of iron sheets.

With two clicks, the suitcase was opened.

Wen Jiajia opened the closet to take out clothes again, thought for a moment, and decided to take three sets of clothes.

Fortunately, her menstrual period had passed. It would be very inconvenient to travel without sanitary napkins.

She put her clothes in, brought a towel, and after brushing her teeth the day after tomorrow, she would put her toothbrush and toothpaste in the suitcase.

At this time, the only place to stay was a guesthouse, which did not provide free toothpaste and toothbrushes, let alone towels. It would be great to have hot water.

Afraid that the sisters would be too tired to eat during the business trip, Wen Jiajia took out a dozen White Rabbit milk candies from the two sisters’ candy jars.

Finally, she took a notebook and two pens and locked the suitcase with a “click.”

It was already nine o’clock when she finished taking a shower.

The night outside was alluring, and the moonlight shone into the yard, making it appear as if it was covered with a layer of silver gauze.

The room was silent, with only the occasional sound of clothes rubbing against bamboo mats. Wen Jiajia was tossing and turning on her big bed, unable to sleep. She was too excited.

The last time she went to Hai City was in her previous life. Counting on her fingers, it had been two years and nine months.

_

Wen Jiajia fell asleep in excitement. What you think about during the day often appears in your dreams at night. She had beautiful dreams about the Magic City all night.

The next day.

Wei Dai was still sleeping when Wen Jiajia woke up, but he woke up as soon as she stood up.

She covered her mouth and yawned, “When did you come back last night?”

“Almost four o’clock,” Wei Dai rubbed his head and said.

Wen Jiajia put her hands on his eyes and said quickly, “Why don’t you sleep a little longer? I’ll go cook. Oh, I have something else to tell you. Let’s talk about it when you wake up.”

Wei Dai, still drowsy, nodded and pulled the quilt over him, “I’ll sleep a little longer.”

Wen Jiajia moved gently, opened the door quietly, and then closed it just as quietly.

Two bottles of milk had been delivered and were placed in the milk box at the door.

This milk box was made by Wen Jiajia. Although it was a little crooked, it still looked like a green milk box from the future.

What to pair with milk?

Without bread, they could only have vegetable cakes.

Wen Jiajia fried a few vegetable cakes with cabbage, green onions, carrots, and egg flour. She cut the cabbage and carrots into shreds, cut the green onions into sections, and mixed them into the flour. She cracked two eggs, added water and salt, stirred well, and then fried them in a pan.

She fried enough for them to eat in the evening. Vegetable pancakes can be eaten cold anyway.

Then she boiled the milk. Although some nutrients would be lost, it was better than drinking bacteria.

The two sisters got up.

Now they could dress themselves, brush their teeth, wash themselves, and empty their urine buckets.

You see, children should not be spoiled too much.

Take Xiaopang, for example. According to Xiaopang’s mother’s complaints, Xiaopang still wets the bed at his age, and his grandmother has to help him put on his clothes every day.

Later, after being scolded by the teacher, the grandmother let go and let her fat grandson put on his clothes himself.

Wen Jiajia calculated that Wen Chun and Wen Xuan had not wet the bed for more than half a year. This was really cause for celebration!

“I’ll put the vegetable cakes on the table. If you’re hungry when you come back in the evening, you can take them and eat them yourself, okay?”

“I know!” the two children said in unison.

Wen Jiajia added, “I’ve put boiled water in the teapot. If you’re thirsty, don’t hesitate to drink it. Avoid drinking the raw water in the kitchen or the water in the thermos. Just use the water in the teapot on the table.”

“Got it!” 

The two children stuffed their mouths with vegetable cakes. They remembered their aunt’s instructions from the day before and wouldn’t forget them so quickly.

After eating, the two girls ran off to listen to the radio, but Wei Dai was still asleep. It was time for Wen Jiajia to leave, so she could only leave a note for him.

Wei Dai didn’t wake up until almost noon.

When he woke up and saw the note on the table, he smiled.

No wonder.

His wife must be very happy about the business trip. She had been mumbling about “shopping,” “buying bags,” and “eating fried buns” while she slept.

Medical Glass Factory

Wen Jiajia worked diligently and managed not to be late for work the next day.

As soon as she arrived at the office, before she could even sit down and have a sip of water, Gao Yi asked her to order newspapers.

“Subscribe to seven newspapers for our department: three for the workshop and the other four for our third floor. Do you know which newspapers to order?” Gao Yi asked.

Wen Jiajia replied, “The provincial newspapers are the People’s Daily and the Workers’ Daily.”

“Yes, those three are enough. But I also need a few magazines.”

“You say.” Wen Jiajia smiled and added, “If there are more than three copies, please lend me another piece of paper and a pen.”

Gao Yi laughed and said, “I’ll write it for you.”

He opened a notebook and began to write: “Mechanical Workers,” “Chlor-Alkali Industry^[1]is an industrial sector that produces chemicals through the electrolysis of saltwater. It is essential to modern industrial processes, and advancements in technology continue to improve their … Continue reading,” and “Medical Devices.”

Gao Yi seemed to consider writing more but paused and said, “Forget it, just these three. Some of them have been discontinued.”

“Oh, order ‘Medical Devices’ first. It will be delivered next year. Some are bimonthly and some are semi-annual. Don’t worry if they don’t arrive immediately. Buy all the issues of ‘Mechanical Workers’ and ‘Chlor-Alkali Industry’ that were published this year.”

Wen Jiajia nodded, took the paper, and said, “Okay.” Then she left the office.

This task couldn’t be entrusted to the newbies in the office. Experienced people in the mailroom might mislead them. Wen Jiajia sighed and resigned herself to going downstairs to the mailroom.

The mailroom was located at the entrance, and Wen Jiajia coincidentally ran into Fang Hongjun, who was on patrol.

Fang Hongjun greeted her and asked, “Are you planning to go home to visit your relatives before the New Year?”

Wen Jiajia was taken aback and shook her head. “Probably not. Are you planning to go back? The factory will be very busy this year, and it will be hard to get leave.”

Fang Hongjun scratched his head. “There’s no other way. If I don’t go back, my mother will come.”

Wen Jiajia understood. After all, his mother would be concerned about his injury and job change.

“Then let me know before you go back and bring some things back for me and Wei Dai,” Wen Jiajia said. “Oh, if possible, could you also check on my house? It’s my house, not Wei Dai’s. I’m worried that there might be a leak or that the vegetable garden behind the door might have collapsed. The key is with Aunt Zhang next door.”

Fang Hongjun nodded. “Okay! No problem.”

Wen Jiajia waved and left.

When she arrived at the mailroom, she happened to run into another acquaintance.

However, it wasn’t someone from the pharmaceutical factory, but the daughter of the old man who was the gatekeeper during the construction of the medical glass factory.

Wen Jiajia was quite familiar with the old man because she visited the hospital frequently.

One time, the old man’s granddaughter came to bring him food, and Wen Jiajia met her and became acquainted with his daughter.

The granddaughter looked a lot like Lin Daiyu in appearance. Although she was weak and frail, she seemed like a healthy version of Lin Daiyu, not a physical version like Pingping.

In short, she was beautiful!

Wen Jiajia was actually a bit of a face lover. It was natural for her to look at attractive people a few times and smile when she saw someone nice-looking.

“Jia Jia, are you here to order newspapers?”

“Yes! Bai Ying, you’re here. I thought you were going to work with your mother.”

“Well, my mother thinks I’m useless and won’t let me work for her. I’m also afraid she’ll scold me all day, so I might as well come work with my grandfather.”

Wen Jiajia laughed. “You two, mother and daughter, are quite funny.”

Her mother, the women’s director of the factory, had given a speech on stage the day before.

Lin Yunfei said that this women’s director was very adept at women’s work. When she was young, she arranged jobs for women on the street. Nearly a hundred women in the sex industry in the city were arranged by her. The thank-you letters she received could cover the street office. She also won the March 8th Red Flag Bearer medal.

Wen Jiajia thought to herself that if there were any assignments or articles requiring writing in the future, she would use this woman’s director as material.

Such a person had to be extremely famous.
