Wu Jianlei felt that his trip today was not in vain.

He and Fang Chunmiao were childhood sweethearts, and they took care of each other after arriving at the educated youth site.

But he didn't expect that Fang Chunmiao had been saving his own rations to give himself extra meals.

The eggs and radishes stuffed into his bowl were all obtained by Fang Chunmiao in private by exchanging his own grain with the villagers.

Fang Chunmiao almost fainted when going to the field yesterday.

Fortunately, Chu Miaohong, who was in the same group as Fang Chunmiao, had some medical knowledge and could see that Fang Chunmiao was suffering from malnutrition.

Under his questioning, he finally found out what Fang Chunmiao had done.

He took a leave today to buy some fine food for Fang Chunmiao.

But who knew that the black market in Yunxi Town had been closed for some time for some reason, so he could only spend two cents to take a bus to the 39th Regiment Headquarters 20 miles away to try his luck.

Fortunately, he was lucky.

There was an educated youth in the farm office who was short of money, so I secretly sold him 20 kilograms of flour.

He had just come out of the alley when he ran into Zhang Hongcheng who was about to return to the company.

Wu Jianlei was very happy that he had not misjudged Zhang Hongcheng.

Although the other party was in a hurry to leave, he still stuffed a pound of salty broad beans, half a pound of fried small twisted dough sticks, and a handful of fruit candies into his mouth without saying anything.

Salt, oil, and sugar are exactly what Fang Chunmiao urgently needs to replenish.

He thought of taking Fang Chunmiao to the other side of the river to see Zhang Hongcheng in a few days. This person is worth interacting with.

Fang Chunmiao from Chunyang Village also likes these snacks.

I even secretly hid some in my pocket while going to work.

The male educated youth in Chunyang Village were tasked with cutting wood today, while the female educated youth were tasked with picking mushrooms in the woods.

The short twenty days in August are a good time to pick mushrooms in Northeast China.

Dried mushrooms are a great dish in winter.

Duan Xinman quietly followed behind several new female educated youth.

Because she destroyed some corn in the last fight, she was fined another thirty kilograms of grain.

Although five people were punished together, Duan Xinman had little food left, so she had been more honest recently and tried to save as much edible food as possible.

Duan Xinman has been an educated youth for more than a year, but her ability to find mushrooms is not as good as that of the newcomer Chu Miaohong.

So she shamelessly followed Chu Miaohong and Fang Chunmiao and snatched the mushrooms they found.

Chu Miaohong didn't want to cause trouble so she didn't say anything. Fang Chunmiao had just arrived and had no idea of ​​the hardships of hibernating, so she didn't feel that angry.

This made Duan Xinman even more outrageous.

Not only did he steal the mushrooms that others had discovered first, he also shamelessly took Fang Chunmiao's salty broad beans from time to time to eat them.

But even so, Duan Xinman did not remember Fang Chunmiao's kindness. Instead, she implicitly mocked Fang Chunmiao for being stingy and for having fruit candies but not being willing to give them to her.

Fang Chunmiao was so angry that she left the group alone and went to the other side of the forest.

In 1972, supplies were scarce in both towns and villages, especially for the educated youth in the countryside.

It was fine before I was sent down to the countryside. Even if the family was in financial difficulty, we could still enjoy the sweetness of life a few times a year.

But in rural areas where it is extremely inconvenient to travel in and out, candy becomes a luxury item.

If I get a candy, I won’t eat it until it melts.

Duan Xinman hesitated for a while, but still couldn't resist the temptation of candy, and quietly followed Fang Chunmiao.

Chu Miaohong looked up at Duan Xinman.

Her relationship with Fang Chunmiao is only slightly better than that of ordinary people, so there is no need to teach her how to do things without any formalities.

She also knew that Fang Chunmiao learned to read people's hearts only after suffering several lessons in her previous life.

Unfortunately, she was even dumber than Fang Chunmiao at that time. In her previous life, Fang Chunmiao had reminded her implicitly to be wary of Zheng Xianghong before returning to the city, but she did not listen.

Chu Miaohong was not worried about what Duan Xinman would do to Fang Chunmiao, because nothing serious had ever happened to Fang Chunmiao in her previous life.

She picked mushrooms absentmindedly for more than ten minutes, and suddenly saw Duan Xinman running towards her in a panic. She didn't say a word to her and just ran away.

The sharp-eyed Chu Miaohong saw the color of candy wrapper between Duan Xinman's tightly clenched fingers.

The alarm bells instantly rang in Chu Miaohong's mind.

By the way, Wu Jianlei never brought fruit candy to Fang Chunmiao at this time in his previous life!

Things have definitely changed!

She hurriedly ran to the other end of the woods with the basket on her back.

Fang Chunmiao grabbed her neck tightly and rolled on the ground.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't spit out the candy stuck in her trachea.

Just as her strength was gradually disappearing, a figure suddenly appeared in her sight.

When Chu Miaohong saw Fang Chunmiao's current appearance, she knew what had happened.

She immediately hugged Fang Chunmiao from behind, clenched her fists and squeezed hard under her ribs.

After squeezing it dozens of times, Fang Chunmiao screamed and spat out a candy.

Fang Chunmiao, who survived the disaster, burst into tears.

The educated youth site was very lively that day.

Wu Jianlei and Fang Gedong almost got into a fight.

Fang Chunmiao accused Duan Xinman of pushing her when she wasn't paying attention, causing the candy to get stuck in her throat. If Chu Miaohong hadn't arrived in time, she would have almost died.

What’s even more infuriating is that not only did Duan Xinman not save her, she also took the opportunity to steal a few candies from her pocket.

Duan Xinman naturally denied it, saying that Fang Chunmiao gave her the candy herself, and it had nothing to do with her that Fang Chunmiao accidentally got it stuck in her throat.

Fang Gedong, who wanted to take the opportunity to please Duan Xinman, jumped out and argued on Duan Xinman's behalf, but was almost beaten by the furious Wu Jianlei.
