Chapter 366 Educated Youth Sent Down to the Countryside in the 1960s 28

After asking around, everyone said they weren't having an easy time. At least Jiang Yue had a winter break, while the others only had the Spring Festival holiday. How to put it? Everything is relative. Jiang Yue originally thought she was quite busy, but after comparing, she felt that she was actually quite relaxed. However, in terms of future prospects, they were much better off than Jiang Yue.

After the party, Jiang Yue went home and got a haircut the next day. She also bought a large pair of non-prescription glasses to "seal" her good looks. In addition, her appearance in this life was a bit too young. A 30-year-old looks like someone in their 20s. Wearing glasses made her look more mature.

After returning home, she put away the new clothes she had bought. Since she had eaten outside, she wasn't very hungry yet. After reading for a while in her study, she suddenly remembered something. These days, it's relatively easy to get a household registration. Jiang Yue made a few puppets and had them get some legal identities so that it would be convenient to use them in the future. She couldn't handle everything herself.

Moreover, I only have tens of thousands of yuan on hand now, which is enough for now, but in a few years I won't even be able to afford a square meter of toilet. I still need to have the puppet help me make money. Yao Ling has entered a classified unit, so there are many things that are inconvenient for her to do. If I want to make money, I still have to rely on myself.

No matter where you are, you can only live comfortably with money. Jiang Yue is not an ascetic. Why suffer when you can live well? After the puppet left, the rest of the work was left to Bai Ze. Jiang Yue was not in any danger now. It was better to go out and make money than to waste time following her.

Jiang Yue didn't care what they did; she just wanted to spend the money. Anyway, Bai Ze wouldn't break the law. After reading until evening, Jiang Yue got hungry and decided to have some barbecue. After leaving the study, she thought it would be too conspicuous to eat in the yard, so she decided to go back to the Wizard Tower.

After entering the wizard tower, Jiang Yue found a robot to help her grill the meat. All she had to do was eat, much like eating at a self-service barbecue in later generations. There were many kinds of meat in the space, and Jiang Yue was quite full after eating. After she was full, Jiang Yue took a nap inside the wizard tower. The bed inside was much more comfortable than the one outside.

The next morning, Jiang Yue came out of the wizard tower and returned to her house. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve, and Jiang Yue prepared the dishes to be made tomorrow. She was used to preparing them in advance because there were too many things to do on the day itself.

After preparing the vegetables, she put them outside. In this weather, there was no need to put them in the refrigerator. She took out the pork hock and trotters that Yao Ling and the others had bought and prepared them. Since they hadn't cooked for several days, Jiang Yue checked the seasonings in the kitchen to see if they were missing any and replenished them.

After preparing the side dishes for tomorrow, Jiang Yue took out the clay pot and washed it. By the time she finished, it was already afternoon. Jiang Yue was also hungry after a busy day. She didn't want to make a big meal today, so she simply cooked a bowl of egg noodles.

On New Year's Eve, every household is on holiday, and the festive atmosphere reaches its peak. The streets are filled with the smell of meat. Although people usually don't eat or drink much, they still have to buy some meat for the New Year. Children hold firecrackers in their hands and candy in their pockets, running around and playing in twos and threes.

Around noon, Jiang Yue started preparing today's meals. Now that she was alone, she wasn't afraid of being seen by others, so the dishes were plentiful. After all, the Wizard Tower had all kinds of dishes, and there was a wide variety of meats. The stewing of the meat took more than two hours, but once the meat was stewed, the stir-frying was quick. By 3 p.m., Jiang Yue was already eating her New Year's Eve dinner.

To be honest, it's a bit lonely to eat New Year's Eve dinner alone during a holiday like this. But this feeling only lasts for a minute or two, since I've been through a lot of it. I took out some stickers from my space and watched a movie while eating, which was pretty good. After watching the movie, Jiang Yue had almost finished eating. Afterwards, she summoned a puppet to clean up the house and put the leftovers in the refrigerator to reheat and eat later that night.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Yue rested for a while. She was woken up by Xiao Yan. Someone called her, and when she called back, it was Yao Ling's voice: "Xiao Yue, do you want to go to Beihai Park?"

"Everyone's going?"

"Well, Zhang Wei hasn't called back yet. I don't know if he and his wife are going."

"Shall we go to the assembly point?"

"good!"

We met at Beihai Park and played for a few hours. It had been a while since we all got together after graduation. Everyone is busy with their own things now, and it will probably be harder and harder to get together in the future.

Especially after they had children, their lives revolved around the children. During the chat, I asked about their wedding dates. Yao Ling and Zhang Wei both chose this year. Jiang Yue told them to discuss it together, either together or separately, otherwise it would be a problem if they got married on the same day in different places.

It was past 10 p.m. when I got home. Most of the children had already left, but since Jiang Yue graduated, the children have come less often.

A few years ago, there would have been a bunch of kids at home by now, but there aren't many anymore because Jiang Yue's identity has changed. She's become a teacher, so even the kids who are about to start school don't come over anymore. Now, the kids who come over are the little brats who don't know anything, because they don't worry about getting a beating when they get home for talking about their studies.

Before going to bed, prepare the red envelopes for the children. Others can earn some money by exchanging greetings every year, or at least exchange them between two families so they don't lose out. But Jiang Yue loses out every year. So she might as well just do it once a year. After Yao Ling or Zhang Wei's child is born, Jiang Yue can take them to visit relatives during the New Year. Otherwise, she doesn't plan to have children. Wouldn't that be losing out every year?

Speaking of this, Jiang Yue felt melancholy. Being a teacher is great in every way, except for the troublesome issue of finding a partner. After learning that Jiang Yue was single, many people wanted to introduce her to potential partners, especially several teachers in the same office, such as Teacher Wang's nephew, Teacher Wen's relative, and Teacher Su.

Jiang Yue could only make up various excuses to decline, but it was foreseeable that this would happen again in the future. The neighborhood committee had come several times, not to mention the matchmakers. The neighbors would keep an eye out for any good young men they found, especially Yao Ling and Wang Liang, who had already selected eligible men from their workplaces several times.

Jiang Yue misses the neighborly relations of her later life. When you close the door, no one knows anyone. For the first time, she realized that being too enthusiastic can also be a nuisance. However, things are much better now because Jiang Yue has rejected too many people. She has told those she is close to that she doesn't want to find anyone right now, so please don't introduce her to anyone else.

After thinking about all sorts of things, Jiang Yue tidied up the red envelopes and went to sleep. There would be plenty of people coming to pay New Year's visits tomorrow, so she would get up and go pay her respects too. She was tired after a busy day and half a day of playing. She crawled into her warm bed, pulled the power cord, and sighed, "Time to sleep!"
