A few days later, when Lu Xia was fully recovered, it was time for a day off.

Now they work ten days and have one day off, so they make an appointment to go to the town to stroll around and buy some things.

Especially for the new educated youth, they lack a lot of things when they first arrive.

Lu Xia actually didn’t lack anything, as he already had everything in his space, but he had to find an excuse to take them out.

So I went to the town with them.

The group walked there and arrived in about half an hour. Many people came out from the educated youth point this time, even the sickly Jiang Junmo came out.

After arriving, everyone agreed on a time to go back and then went their separate ways.

Lu Xia walked around the town. The town was not big and it didn't take long to walk from one end to the other.

She first went to the supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperative here was much smaller than the one in Beijing. It was just a small house. If it weren’t for the supply and marketing cooperative sign, she would have suspected that she had gone to the wrong place.

There were not many things for sale inside, just daily necessities like oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Lu Xia didn't see anything he wanted to buy, so he walked around and came out.

...

...

Afterwards, he went to the state-owned restaurant and had a meal to improve his mood. However, the food cooked by the chef here was average and could not be compared with that in Beijing, which made Lu Xia a little disappointed.

After dinner, I wandered around the town and didn’t see any black market. Then I found a secluded place, took out some of the things I had prepared, and planned to meet up with the others.

When she arrived, everyone was carrying large and small bags, especially Gu Xiangnan, Su Man and Jiang Junmo. Each of them had a large package, which was probably sent before they came.

It was at this time that Lu Xia suddenly remembered that she could actually send the luggage that she didn't need temporarily.

Why didn’t I think of this at the time? I had to carry it all the way by train and was so tired.

But it’s too late to regret now. If there is anything in the future, I can take it out and say it was sent by family.

When we went back, everyone had a lot of stuff, so several people helped each other take it back.

This time, Zhuang Hongmei did not go to the town with everyone else, but stayed at the educated youth site. When she saw them coming back with big and small bags, jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Lu Xia glanced at her and said nothing.

No one else paid any attention to her. It could be said that she was the least popular among the new educated youth.

After Lu Xia entered the room, he put his things and the shoulder bag into the box. Seeing Zhuang Hongmei looking at him eagerly, he did not open the bag to take out the things inside. He just put the things back in and then locked the box again.

However, Su Man had a lot of good things to put away the new things, such as new clothes, thick quilts, cotton shoes, etc., which made Zhuang Hongmei jealous and she wanted to take them for herself.

Su Man saw that she was getting in the way and spoke to her several times, but Zhuang Hongmei still stood there with her eyes wide open and refused to leave.

She was so angry that her face looked very bad.

After dinner in the evening, I asked Sun Shengnan about building the house.

"You want to build a house yourself?"

Sun Shengnan was a little surprised when she heard her question. It was the first time she heard that an educated youth was generous enough to build his own house!

After all, it was not a small amount of money, so even though the living conditions at the educated youth camp were uncomfortable, everyone put up with it.

Su Man nodded, "Yes, I am used to sleeping alone. I can't sleep with others. I haven't slept well these past few days."
