The old educated youth ate the delicious meat and became more and more grateful to Jiang Li. .

After Ma Guixiang finished speaking, another female educated youth named Zhang Lai Di criticized Liu Yulan, "Liu Zhiqing, you are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of hungry men. We just want to eat meat. If you don't want it, you can eat less and let us have more."

Liu Yulan looked at the meat in the pot and was reluctant to give it to others. She stopped complaining for fear that her share of the meat would be snatched away by others.

After the educated youth had eaten and drunk their fill, they cleared the dishes and went to wash up after wiping their mouths.

The old educated youth brought some hot water to Jiang Li, and she had to fetch cold water herself. There was a big water tank at the educated youth site.

These newly arrived educated youth could get water and firewood for free, but if they wanted to use them later, they would have to participate in the labor distribution.

Jiang Li continued to practice meditation for an hour before going to bed, and then he rested and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Jiang Li and several other newly arrived educated youth had to go to the county town.

They had just arrived in the countryside and had a lot of things to buy.

The old educated youth suggested to them that they could go to the village entrance at 7 o'clock every morning to take a ox cart to the county town.

The oxcart ride to the county town is not free, you have to pay for it. It’s not expensive, two cents a trip, and four cents for a round trip.

Jiang Li only needed to take a ride there once, and she wouldn't have to take it again when she came back, because the bicycle she got from Jiang's house could just be taken out of the space.

Having a bicycle is much more convenient than taking a ox cart. In the future, Jiang Li can go to the county town anytime he wants.

Jiang Li and several newly arrived educated youth waited at the entrance of the village for a bullock cart. They paid the money and got on the cart.

Liu Yulan continued to complain that the ox cart was too dirty and broken. She would not have ridden in the ox cart if she could have taken a car.

Liu Yulan herself didn't notice that as she complained, the country team members in the car all had gloomy faces.

An auntie couldn't stand Liu Yulan's behavior and said directly, "If you despise it so much, why did you come to the countryside? How can you build the countryside if you act like a young lady from a wealthy family?"

"Tsk tsk, that's right, Miss Zi's family, please don't come to our countryside. If you come, you will be a burden to us. What contribution can you make to our countryside?"

Liu Yulan's cheeks turned red.

The point is that being labeled as the eldest daughter of a capitalist family is a very serious matter.

Liu Yulan was afraid that she would get into trouble, so she didn't dare to say anything more.

After swaying for an hour, the ox cart finally arrived at the county town.

The old man driving the ox cart found a big tree, tied the cart, and then leaned against the cart to smoke his pipe.

He would wait here for two hours. If people who came to the county town had anything to do, they would do it quickly. He would go back after two hours without waiting for anyone.

People who came to the county town to do business hurried to get to work, for they were worried that they would miss the return trip by oxcart if the time was too late.

It's still more than ten miles to go back. If I walk back directly, my legs will be broken.

Jiang Li got off the ox cart and started to take care of his own business.

Knowing that Sun Wenwen, Liu Yulan and others should go to the supply and marketing cooperative first, Jiang Li did not plan to go with them, but went to the scrap yard first.

Jiang Li was thinking about whether she could find some old furniture, as she happened to need to buy some furniture.

It doesn't matter whether the furniture is new or old, as long as it works.

If she wants to buy new furniture, she has to make an order and wait until the carpenter has finished making it before sending it to her.

There should be high-end furniture as well, but it will be much more expensive.

Jiang Li thought it would be more convenient to buy some old furniture, especially some that were about 80 or 90 years old.

In addition, Jiang Li happened to go to the scrap yard to pick up some waste newspapers and use them to paste the walls when he got home.

Jiang Li quickly found out about the scrap yard in the county town, and when he arrived at the door, he explained the situation to the old man who was guarding it.

The gatekeeper told her to go in and choose slowly, and then call him when she had made her choice.
