How could country people afford these nice things? Buying these things not only requires money, but also various kinds of tickets.

Jiang Li saw the gift Lu Yan brought down and thought it was too ostentatious. She felt very uncomfortable being stared at by envious and jealous eyes, so she said to Lu Rong and Lu Yan, "Come to my house and sit down?"

Lu Rong and Lu Yan both nodded in agreement, and followed Jiang Li to the educated youth site.

Jiang Li lived in a single room by himself, which made it much more convenient to entertain guests. If he lived with other educated youth, it would be inconvenient to bring outsiders into the house.

Jiang Li moved two stools and asked Lu Rong and Lu Yan to sit down and chat.

The driver waiting outside sat in the car and ignored him.

Jiang Li made a cup of brown sugar water for each of them.

There was no tea at home. In this era, serving brown sugar water to entertain guests was considered the highest honor.

Lu Rong and Lu Yan's families were quite wealthy, and they had eaten and drunk all kinds of good things, so they didn't care what Jiang Li used to treat them.

They came to Jiang Li today not to bother her, but to express their gratitude sincerely.

After Jiang Li sat down in front of them, the aunt and niece said many words of thanks to her, and every word came from the bottom of their hearts and was sincere.

After the aunt and niece expressed their gratitude and handed the gifts to Jiang Li, they saw that it was almost time, so in order not to disturb Jiang Li while she was having lunch, they said goodbye.

Seeing that the aunt and nephew had brought so many gifts, Jiang Li tried to persuade them to stay, saying, "If you don't mind, have a simple meal at my place before leaving."

Lu Rong politely declined.

They came to give gifts to express their gratitude. If they stayed for dinner, wouldn't it cause trouble for Jiang Li, which was contrary to their original intention.

Of course, more dishes must be prepared to entertain guests. As Jiang Li was an educated youth who went to the countryside, her living conditions must have been difficult at the time. They were really embarrassed to eat her meals, otherwise they would feel guilty.

Seeing that the two were determined to say goodbye and leave, Jiang Li did not force them too much.

She personally sent the two of them out of the educated youth center. Later, she wanted to send them to the village entrance, but was persuaded by Lu Rong to go back.

When Lu Rong drove her car away from the production brigade, Mu Jingxun and Bai Zirong had just returned from work.

The moment they passed by the car, Bai Zirong stopped.

Mu Jingxun asked Bai Zirong, "What's wrong?"

Bai Zirong stared at the direction the car left and explained to Mu Jingxun, "Brother Xun, I just saw a man in the car. He looked familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before."

Mu Jingxun thought there was nothing strange about this. There were many people who looked similar. When he first came to the Victory Production Brigade, he felt that several team members looked familiar. This was the first time he came here since he was a child. He was sure that he had never seen anyone here before. The so-called familiarity was sometimes just a psychological illusion.

Bai Zirong nodded when he heard this, but didn't take it too seriously. The two of them went straight back to the educated youth site to find Jiang Li.

"Sister Li, is the person who came to see you just now the one you helped last time?" Bai Zirong asked excitedly as soon as he saw Jiang Li.

Jiang Li nodded, "Yes, I helped someone a little, and they gave me a lot of gifts to thank me.

We're in for a treat at noon. Take these ingredients and help me prepare them. ”

As Jiang Li spoke, he handed a fish and a duck to Mu Jingxun and Bai Zirong.

We had fish and duck at noon, two pounds of meat and a chicken, and then some at night.
