Chapter 43

So she knew that she was in good health now and didn't need to go for follow-up visits.

But that didn't stop her from using this excuse to ask for leave.

It is a fact that he fell into the river and hit his head.

The team leader readily gave him leave, and Song Wei returned to the Youth League Home in a good mood. He put the things he had packed long ago into the backpack. Although they were all mountain products, it still looked like there were a lot of things.

"Heidan is gone."

While Song Wei was on leave, Heidan cleaned up the places made by the rabbits and fed them grass. When he saw Song Wei calling him, he quickly responded and followed her, carrying a small backpack.

Walking on the country roads, occasionally there would be children passing by who they knew and they would say hello. When they heard that Song Wei was going to take Heidan to the county town, their eyes were filled with envy.

For the first time, Heidan held his head high and chest out like a big rooster, feeling extremely proud.

He had been to the county town once, although there was nothing on the dark streets at that time.

The village has ox carts that go to the county town every once in a while.

Song Wei and his friends were lucky that today was the day when the ox cart went to the county town.

There were already several aunties and ladies sitting in the car.

Although the villagers generally have little savings, they still have to buy some things. Not only do they have to buy them, but they also have to rob them to get them, because the county town is a small place and there is only one supply and marketing cooperative where things are sold.

"Song Zhiqing is also going to the county town."

There were some acquaintances sitting on the ox cart, but fortunately, they were not any troublesome acquaintances.

It was Aunt Wang who was chatting about gossip and eating melons with me when I was threshing corn before.

Song Wei immediately approached Aunt Wang with a thick face and a smile on her face.

The ox cart was so small that after she and Heidan squeezed in, there was basically no room left.

The old man driving the ox cart said, "Everyone sit down, I'm going to drive the cart."

"What a coincidence, Aunt Wang, you are going to the county town too."

Aunt Wang nodded: "Go buy something."

"Why do you carry so many things?"

The people on the ox cart all looked at Song Wei's big bag, as if they wanted to see clearly what was inside through the wrapped cloth.

Song Wei untied it openly and showed it to them, after all, these things could be found in the mountains.

"These are all mountain products I picked up recently in the mountains. They are not precious. I plan to send them to my brother. He also sent me something and I will go to pick it up."

Hearing her words, everyone on the ox cart looked at her with envy.

I had no interest in the things in her package. Apart from meat and precious medicinal herbs, there were really no rare things in the mountains.

"Your brother is so good to you."

Song smiled and nodded, taking precautions in advance so that when she came back, she would have a legitimate excuse to buy things from the black market.

Although the ox cart is slow and takes a long time on the road, it is not boring.

Rural women are the most gossipy. Due to the lack of entertainment, any news from neighboring villages can be spread far away.

Song Wei held Heidan and listened with great interest, and even grabbed a handful of melon seeds for everyone to share.

This handful of melon seeds successfully brought her closer to the aunts and sisters.

She exchanged these melon seeds with three taels of pine nuts from the educated youth.

But there is one bad thing, the melon will end up on you while you are eating it.

"Song Zhiqing, are you really letting Heidan live with you? That's one more mouth to feed."

Speaking of this topic, everyone's eyes fell on the black egg that Song Wei was holding.

Song Wei has fair skin and is very beautiful. Her two long black braids make her look simple yet a little more charming.

But the child in her arms was dark, thin and skinny, and didn't look like a member of the same family at all.

However, compared to before, Heidan's spirits today are visibly better.

"You're really nice to Heidan. You even took him to the county town."

Song Wei had a smile on her face and didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"Heidan is hardworking and capable. I am taking advantage of him by asking him to help me. He is alone in the Youth Farm and has nothing to do. I will ask him to carry some things and go to the county town with me."

"Your clothes look good, without any patches, why did you let Heidan wear them?"

Although Heidan is pitiful, he is not their own child after all. They have sympathy but not much. Nowadays, everyone only cares about their own family.

Song Zhiqing looked smart, but who knew he was so stupid. Not only did he not ask for compensation for such a valuable item as the watch, he also brought Heidan to live with him. He really didn't ask for any more money.

With the little work points Song Zhiqing earned, he could barely support himself and had to raise a child, but all the good clothes were given to Heidan.

This girl is such a spendthrift and doesn't know how to live at all.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

However, although they thought so in their hearts, no one felt comfortable saying it in front of Song Wei.

Song Wei touched Heidan's head: "It's okay, I have a brother."

Heidan leaned obediently in Song Wei's arms. He was always very silent in front of other people. He rarely said hello when they met each other. Sometimes he was even very fierce and had fought with many children in the village.

This gave the villagers the impression that he was a bit gloomy, quiet and unlikable.

But Song Wei knew that he was just afraid and erected the spikes on his body to disguise himself and protect himself.

Heidan has received very little kindness since he was a child.

After he became familiar with me, he retracted his spikes and became more like an insecure puppy who seemed like he would be abandoned at any time.

So he tried his best to show himself in front of Song Wei, trying to make himself valuable and not be abandoned easily.

Song Wei calmly changed the topic so that everyone's attention would no longer remain on Heidan.

An hour and a half later, the ox cart arrived at the county town.

The aunts and grandmothers went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to steal things, yes, they really did steal them.

Song Wei walked with them for a while, and when they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she was stunned to see the aunts and sisters who had been calm before suddenly running towards the cooperative like crazy.

A group of people were crowded together in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, holding money and tickets in their hands, and shouting louder than the other.

"I want soap. Give me a piece of soap."

"Do you have Jiefang shoes? I want a pair of Jiefang shoes."

"How much is that kettle, comrade?"

It was the first time that Heidan saw this scene and he was also stunned.

For the first time, Song Wei felt the scarcity of materials in this era. This scene was really... She also wanted a kettle.

She would have to take a look and observe more first. After sending the things, she would have to find a way to squeeze in. Not only did she have to buy shoes for Heidan, but she also had to buy some cloth. She couldn't waste her energy.

"let's go."

Go to the post office to mail something first.

"Comrade, you have worked hard. I want to send you something."

"Serve the people, give me your stuff."

You need to buy stamps to send things, 5 cents each.

Song Wei filled in the address, watched the staff pack up the items, paid the money for postage, and then left with Heidan.

In this era, the speed of mailing things is very slow, and her brother's station is very far away, so it will take at least half a month to send the things.
