Check In System In The 70s

79

The arrival of Kiki and Xu Jie to Uncle's house was greeted with enthusiasm. This was because Kiki was the only female descendant in the Xu family.

"Oh, Kiki, even though you live in the countryside, you look brighter, and your skin is also well-groomed. Aunty is very happy to see you," their aunt said enthusiastically.

Back then, when Kiki's mother died, aunt proposed bringing Kiki to their home, but Xu Xin, Kiki's father, was in a hurry to marry his new wife. They are childhood sweethearts known as CLBK in modern terms.

The closeness between families is getting weaker. Moreover, Kiki's father, Xu Xin, had never been willing to hear the advice of her older brother.

The condition was triggered by several things that happened later.

First, Kiki became a victim sent to the countryside through government programs, and then Xu Jie was used as a dairy cow as a source of additional income in the family.

"Your brother is so stupid, so weak. Her salary was taken by her stepmother, and she just kept quiet. Look what your sister is wearing now. Compare that to the child clothes of your stepmother who often bought new clothes," their cousin said in a hateful tone, as he looked at Xu Jie whose ears were red with embarrassment.

Kiki laughed with a thin smile, but she immediately changed the subject to ease the tension.

"Second brother, I will be returning home to the countryside soon, and at that time, I was worried about not being able to attend your wedding. So I wanted to give you a gift early," Kiki said, while taking out the gift she had already mentioned.

An ordinary gift would probably get a casual response, but once everyone saw the two watches on the table, they were stunned and mused, "Is this possible?"

The second cousin immediately took the two watches.

"Oh, Brand Shanghai?" pekik.

Everyone knows that these brand watches are the best at the moment. In addition to the limited number, tickets for these watches are very difficult to find, and more importantly, they are very expensive.

But this problem is not one but a pair.

Aunt Xu could not take his eyes off the table. He checked the tickets and was surprised, almost shutting his mouth.

"Kiki, where did you get these tickets?" their aunt said in disbelief.

Seeing everyone's reaction to the watch and the tickets, Xu Jie felt proud.

"This is my sister" he thought.

"Ob, auntie, Kiki we can make soap that now sells for 6 cents without a ticket. I brought the example," Xu Jie said, while putting a piece of soap on the table.

One soap alone was enough to catch everyone's attention, and they immediately asked what it had to do with the tickets.

Xu Jie had no chance to explain, as her elder brother had already started talking nonstop.

Xu Jie explained that he was the inventor of this soap, so he received a considerable dividend in the village each time he received an order. People who ordered soap to the capital gave her these tickets and sometimes made it easier for Kiki to buy things like watches.

Suddenly, their second cousin was stunned. He did not believe that a gentle girl like Kiki was able to make money that even exceeded the salaries of workers in a factory.

This is a real example of how hard life in the village can change, someone from a girl who does not know much to someone who is advanced and able to change her own destiny.

"I won't use my television, radio and bike tickets, so use this for my second sister's future wife" Kiki said with a smile.

He once thought of giving his best to his future wife but he needed to wait some time to find a television ticket.

A bike and radio ticket is also scheduled to be available next month because he has saved enough for it.

Ohh his savings are only enough to buy tickets but not the goods.With this ticket, the savings can buy his goods also so the wedding will be able to be advanced.

This is quite helpful once.

"Kiki, this is amazing, but Uncle wanted to ask, incidentally, your oldest brother works in a supply and procurement cooperative. Can he also order soap from your village?" ask Uncle who has only seen but not spoken since.

Kiki had never thought about her first cousin working in a supply and procurement cooperative. He knew that the cousin worked in the transportation department, not as a sales clerk.

This is truly a surprising coincidence.

"Uncle, I never thought about it, but will this trouble first brother?" ask Kiki

"It will not be troublesome really, Uncle has a relationship with the director of the supply and procurement cooperative. Maybe Uncle will talk a little and let your cousin take the trip until he can stop by your village, how?" bargained for.

Kiki was listening to it. In the village, actually, the price of soap is only three cents per piece. One penny is used for transportation costs, and another penny is for the person who ordered it. Thus, the price became five cents, and it could be sold again for six cents.

Kiki explained the way the division was so that everyone would understand."If everything is in my name, then everything will be left to my cousin. This is good" Kiki said.

"But you're gonna lose a penny because of that, so don't have to, '" refused their Uncle.

Uncle doesn't want to rob a penny from his nephew's hand, he just wants to make sure that his nephew gets more money from the order he'll get here.

But Kiki shook her head and said, "Uncle, you don't know, now I'm the richest girl in the village. Haha, I eat meat every day, even everyone is jealous of me, hahaha."

Everyone did not believe what Kiki said, so Kiki added again, "why should I cheat then? Take the order, and when Brother cousin comes to the village, I'll let him see how I live in the village."

"Is that so? Then Uncle will do that to make sure that your life is safe there" their Uncle said again.

They all laughed again, and no one felt if the information Kiki said was real.

Kiki and Xu Jie couldn't meet the older brother's first cousin because he hadn't returned from his job yet. His wife also has not returned home from her parents' house due to some business.

In the end, Kiki and Xu Jie returned home with the promise of coming again with additional soap and certificates from the research side in the capital. This certificate was actually duplicated by the village and brought by some people who went looking for orders outside the village.

Upon arriving home, they receive another scolding from the stepmother, who feels opening the door for both is a burden, as neither carries anything in each other's hands.

"People come home with gifts, but you have empty hands. How embarrassing it is," he said.

The stepmother's face immediately flushed red like boiled shrimp, and the sounds of quarrels were immediately heard from the father's room.

Kiki did not care, she was sleepy and slept well after that.

The new day means for Kiki is an opportunity for a massive check-in. This was the advantage he felt when opening the accumulation map.

Soon after, Kiki took a shower and changed clothes. She had a lot of clothes in her system drawer, so she piled up the ones she was currently wearing without washing them again.

After which, he came out of the room and saw that the house was already empty, except for Xu Lin, who was heavily unemployed. Everyone went to the factory.

Kiki looked at the table and, unfortunately, there was no breakfast for her there.

"Who told you to get up late? Eat the wind to be bloated," Xu Lin said in a mocking tone to Kiki.

"It's okay, I have money now, so I'll go have breakfast at the country restaurant. Oh, Lin, in my opinion, you want to meet someone, huh? I wonder if anyone is as interested in unemployment and slackers as you are" Kiki said lightly.

Xu Lin froze. He had never talked about this at home, but this matter also could not be hidden.

He raised his head and smiled disdainfully at Kiki. "I can find a partner and will continue to live in the city, unlike someone who only knows to talk but is unable to find a partner. At most he could only find a farmer who had muddy feet in the fields, hahaha."

Spouses living with a farmer background are considered to have a lower status. That was why Xu Lin mocked Kiki, but Kiki was not bothered by her.

He explained, "I'm still 15 years old, after the New Year.So don't worry, in the future I will choose someone, not the other way around."

"Heh, what does that mean?" xu Lin asked furiously.

In this era, every couple relationship is done through introductions from matchmakers. If the couple is interested, then the relationship will continue. Otherwise, the relationship will not occur, but the woman will still be a byword because she is unable to attract the attention of the other party.

Therefore, Kiki mocked Xu Lin. If he does not have the right to find a partner, it all depends on the male side, whether he wants to or not

"You think to yourself," said Kiki, then left casually to leave the house.

Xu Lin wanted to curse at him again, but who would have thought he was stunned when he saw the clothes Kiki was wearing. Kiki wore a winter jacket with a beautiful blue fur collar. The jacket looks beautiful and warm. It must be expensive.

His calf-high boots are also pretty. Xu Lin wondered where Kiki had obtained it from. How could it be, considering that he had been living in the village all this time?

The only explanation here is that Kiki actually got a subsidy from someone in town. Does that mean Xu and Xu Jie's father sent something to the village without his mother's knowledge?

Immediately, his brain swirled around like it listed puzzle pieces scattered into a whole story.

"Oh, so it is! I was lied to all this time. Basic traitor! You think you can hide until when, huh?" he said with rage.

Out of anger, he thought about how to reveal this to his mother later.

Meanwhile, Kiki was considering where she would check in today.

This new year, for one day, he can get double points, there are fifteen points for one day.

This allows Kiki to shop for points at two places that are worth under seven points.

"My savings points are still three hundreds, I can shop in five or six places a day. Let's find a good location."

Kiki would never miss her usual favorite places.

Income and Procurement Cooperatives, post offices, state-owned restaurants, grain stations, and also animal slaughter stations.

He gets a lot of things, money, tickets, and red envelopes in these five favorite places.

After that, Kiki went to check-in at two factories, of course, the shoe factory where his brother worked. The latter is a canning factory, where Kiki also gets a lot of things in cans, such as fish, meat, and fruits.

Too busy shopping, Kiki forgot to eat breakfast. He only realized when his own stomach had rung.

Since the breakfast time had passed, Kiki intended to go to uncle's house.

Never go to someone's house empty-handed. So Kiki decided to bring five kg of pork and a strand of sausage in hand.

Not to forget, he also packed five lunch boxes that he actually took from inside the system drawer.

This is white rice with chicken soup, potatoes, and spicy siomay dimsum.

Soon, Kiki arrived at the uncle's house. Aunt Xu who saw Kiki's arrival immediately sparkled and also saw what Kiki was carrying, and she was shocked.

"Kiki, did you buy meat? Ah, honey, if your stepmother finds out, she'll be furious. Come on, take it home for dinner" said the aunt, who refused immediately.

Kiki was comfortable with the rejection, which meant her aunt was really a good person and not greedy.

"Auntie, maybe because of fatigue on the road, so I woke up. When I woke up, there was no breakfast at the table. So I ate at that state-owned restaurant."

"Then, I thought if I had breakfast like that, I'd rather have lunch at aunt's. But if aunt is not angry, anyway." he added in a spoiled tone.

"Good, Kiki! Why should my aunt refuse? But you come with stuff like this, auntie doesn't feel comfortable, you know. After all, it's not easy to be able to buy meat, people have to queue."

Kiki smiled and handed the meat to the aunt while whispering, "I bought it on the black market."

Immediately the aunt became angry and patted Kiki on the shoulder several times while saying, "Don't ever go to that place again. If you get caught, your life will get worse."

Not wanting to prolong the matter, Kiki simply nodded her head and followed her aunt into the kitchen.

Whatever it is, this meat will be cooked as well.
