"Mrs. Cheng's husband is dead, but she lives such a good life. Maybe she got lucky or had some luck..." The female educated youth curled her lips and continued.

"Sun Xiaoxiao, you can't stand seeing others doing well, can you? When you're suffering, you have to force others to suffer with you? Sister Cheng has her own hands and feet, and a good family, so why can't she live a good life?"

"I..." Sun Xiaoxiao was hit in the heart and couldn't help but get angry.

Gu Xixi snorted and continued, "I usually take out some things, and you say I like to show off. Xiaoyue doesn't take anything, and you say I'm stingy. You've said all the good and bad things, because you're the only one who can talk..."

Gu Xixi rolled her eyes. It would have been fine if Sun Xiaoxiao had been talking about her all day long, but now she was calling her sister-in-law. She was such a dirty-minded person that she thought everything was bad.

"Who's wrong with you? Yes, yes, you all come from well-off families, so you deserve to live so well. Today you have a can of brown sugar, tomorrow you have an egg, and you can give it away easily. Unlike us who come from poor backgrounds, we have to eat an egg in two meals, and brown sugar is even a rare commodity..."

Sun Xiaoxiao's voice was loud, and there was a hint of grievance in her words. Now, not only were a few familiar educated youth looking at the two of them, but a few men who came to catch the boat from Sanshi Island also looked over.

I just saw these educated youth chattering away, but I was too lazy to listen, especially that educated youth Sun, who never stopped talking. Even when no one was paying attention to him, he would still talk nonsense, just like the gossips in the village.

It seems that the educated people in this city are not that good.

What was I saying just now? What's the point of Aiqing's gambling? Aiqing never leaves the house, so where can they find opportunities? Besides, everyone on the island knows that she's talented and has a wonderful family. She even built the most impressive house on the island, and her family is coming to live there next year...

But it must be said, reincarnation is a real skill. They had to eat eggs three times a day. They boiled two eggs and mixed them with garlic, but they couldn't bear to finish them all in one meal, so they kept them from morning to night. The brown sugar at home didn't even get to drink during childbirth...

Sun Xiaoxiao was a careless person, and she kept talking nonsense. Gu Xixi didn't bother to pay attention to her. Just as the boat was approaching the shore, she pulled Yu Xiaoyue aboard.

Seeing that Gu Xixi ignored her and seeing the contemptuous looks from Wang Haitao and Wang Zhiqing beside her, Sun Xiaoxiao was so angry that she was shaking.

How dare Wang Haitao look down on her? His family's conditions aren't even as good as hers! What kind of pretense is this here? And that Yu Xiaoyue, she's also pretending. What kind of rich person would flatter others every day for food and drink? Only Gu Xixi, that idiot, believes everything anyone says...

Yu Xiaoyue found a slightly cleaner place on the boat and sat down. Seeing the things in Gu Xixi's hands, she asked curiously, "Xixi, why are you carrying so many things?"

"Oh, this is for Sister Cheng. I happened to be going to the post office, so I mailed it."

"Why are you sending so many things? What are they?"

"It should be some seafood." Gu Xixi tied the bag and held it in her arms.

"Oh. So that's it..." Yu Xiaoyue took another look at the big bag, slowly retracted her gaze, and then talked to Gu Xixi about some interesting things.

Gu Xixi laughed heartily after hearing this. In the Youth House, her favorite was Yu Zhiqing, who always looked so happy...

It was the team's first holiday, and the educated youth were all very happy. They chatted and talked for a while. An hour later, the boat arrived. Gu Xixi asked for directions and went to the post office to mail her things. Then she went shopping with peace of mind.

However, the supply here is really limited. She waited in line for a long time at the supply and marketing cooperative before she could buy some biscuits and candies, which she thought were the least delicious.

"Xiaoyue, why don't you buy anything?" Gu Xixi asked with some confusion after leaving the supply and marketing cooperative.

Didn’t they come out this time just to buy things?

Yu Xiaoyue shook her head. "There's nothing I want to buy. I don't feel good about it."

Of course she wanted to buy it, but her family wasn't as rich as Gu Xixi's. Forget about giving her money, it was good enough that she didn't have to send anything back. If it weren't for Gu Xixi, she would have already lost the ten yuan she had on her hands when she came to Sanshi Island...

"Something is indeed missing..." Gu Xixi thought and whispered, "Xiaoyue, how about we go to the black market?"

"You are too brave, aren't you? How can you go to that kind of place? What if you get caught?" Yu Xiaoyue frowned and lowered her voice while holding Gu Xixi.

Gu Xixi: "It's okay, we're just going to buy something. If we get caught, the most we can do is have our things confiscated. Don't you think Sanshi Island is more relaxed than other places? When we came here just now, the atmosphere was not depressing, and we didn't see any oil steps, split beans, or big self-explosion..."

Compared to the current situation in Beijing, Sanshi Island was a paradise. Some people in Beijing were acting like crazy, attacking their friends, family, and mentors whenever they found something wrong.

Fortunately, during the chaos, her brother was studying abroad, and her parents had also left early to visit relatives. Unable to adapt to life abroad, she stayed with her aunt. This year, the situation was getting increasingly dire. She was afraid of implicating her aunt's family, and since she had already graduated from high school, she quickly signed up to go to the countryside...

"No, no, I can't go." Yu Xiaoyue still shook her head.

"But we haven't bought anything yet!" Gu Xixi worried, "I still want to buy some meat, some eggs, and maybe a duck or a chicken. Why don't people here raise chickens and ducks? It's so strange..."

Meat! Eggs! Duck! Yu Xiaoyue's saliva instantly watered. During this time, relying on Gu Xixi, she had eaten many things she had never tasted before. Gu Xixi was very generous to her, always sharing half of the delicious food with her. If Gu Xixi bought these, she would definitely get a lot too...

"How about I keep watch for you?" Yu Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said.

"That's fine." Gu Xixi nodded. She could handle it on her own anyway. "Is there anything you want to buy? If I see it, I'll buy it for you."

"No, I'm used to looking at things carefully before I buy them. Otherwise, it would be a waste if I don't like it."

"That's right..." Gu Xixi expressed her understanding, then quietly asked someone for the location and headed towards the black market.

"Okay, Xixi, go in. I'll wait for you here."

"You really aren't going in? There's really nothing to worry about." Gu Xixi confirmed again.

"Just go, we need someone to keep watch." Yu Xiaoyue said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go by myself then. I'll try to be as quick as possible..."

Entering the black market, Gu Xixi felt nervous and excited.

The black market had a wider variety of items than the supply and marketing cooperatives. Some people were selling meat, small pieces of minced meat that looked like leftovers from the butcher stalls.
