Before getting off the train the next day, Gu Qingmeng gave the conductor a pound of White Rabbit milk candy and a pound of peach cakes and asked the conductor to give them to Zhang Guohua. She didn't like to owe favors to others.
I ate two of his boxed lunches, a bowl of porridge, a pound of milk candy and a pound of peach cakes, which was enough to cover the cost of the meal.
After getting off the train and breathing in the fresh air, Gu Qingmeng felt like she was alive again.
Since they arrived in Xiai City in the afternoon, they needed to stay in a guesthouse for a day and then take a bus to the county to be assigned to various villages tomorrow.
Xiai City is surrounded by mountains, and the temperature is several degrees lower than that in Beijing, which reduces the heat a bit.
"Mengmeng, this place is all mountainous. Do you think there are wolves? Can we be assigned to the same village?"
The two grew up in the city, and they couldn't help but feel fear when they saw the city surrounded by mountains.
"Haha! Little girl, are you a newly arrived educated youth? Wolves are nothing here, there are also big cats and blind bears. You city kids can't just go into the mountains casually. You have to be accompanied by a local."
Passersby gave the two some scientific knowledge, which made Gu Qingmeng and Su Xue even more scared. The city was full of mountains, not to mention the rural areas where they went.
There must be a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains. Oh no, I forgot to prepare the anthelmintic.
"Thank you, uncle! Xuebao, you follow the leader to the guesthouse to get a room. I'll go to the pharmacy to buy some anthelmintic medicine."
It was almost time to get off work, so the two of them needed to split up. The rooms in the guesthouse were limited, so if they couldn't get one, they would have to stay somewhere farther away.
The bus station is right next to the train station. If you live far away, you will have to get up early tomorrow and walk over. Su Xue obviously thought of this. After calling the roll, she took the two people's letters of introduction and ran away quickly.
Gu Qingmeng walked and asked and soon found the pharmacy. It was a Chinese medicine shop. People said that the snake repellent medicine here was passed down from generation to generation.
"Uncle, do you have any snake repellent? I'd also like some insect repellent and mosquito repellent!"
Seeing that there was only a thin old man in the pharmacy, Gu Qingmeng smiled and said, "Don't hit a smiling person. If she buys more later, he should be able to sell it to her!"
"You're one of the educated youth who went to the countryside, right? You're pretty smart. Snake repellent is 10 cents, and mosquito repellent is 5 cents. How many do you want?"
The old man looked up and saw that it was a beautiful girl. He muttered in his heart: How many boys will be aroused by this girl in the countryside?
"Is it limited? If not, I'll take as many as you can get. Uncle, don't you know I'm most afraid of snakes? The mosquitoes here are also big, several times bigger than the ones back home."
On the way, Gu Qingmeng saw a giant mosquito, and she felt itchy all over her body before she was bitten.
"Haha! The mosquitoes here are huge. Twenty-eight packets of snake repellent and thirty-five packets of mosquito repellent, a total of four dollars and fifty-five cents."
The old man smiled and gave the medicine. This girl was not short of money. It was a happy day to make a huge profit of four dollars and fifty cents. She rewarded herself with a cup of sweet potato wine in the evening.
Seeing the old man so enthusiastic, Gu Qingmeng felt like she had been cheated.
"What's with that expression on your face, girl? My medicine is guaranteed to be of guaranteed quality and quantity. I mixed it myself. You're not being fooled!"
"The cheap medicine sold outside is not as effective as my medicine. They are all inferior products made with shoddy materials."
The old man took the money and locked it in the cash box, as if he was afraid that Gu Qingmeng would snatch it back. This action made Gu Qingmeng more certain of his thoughts. Whether it was useful or not was another matter, but it was definitely too expensive.
"Uncle, can I bargain for the medicine? I bought quite a lot, can you give me a discount?"
I was careless and should have bargained. It doesn't feel good to be taken advantage of.
"Hey! Girl, I've paid you both the money and the goods. Next time you come to me to buy medicine, I'll give you a discount. Take this bag of honeysuckle back and make some tea. My name is Qianxiezi."
Gu Qingmeng: ...
Don't think she doesn't know that honeysuckle can reduce internal heat? This old man did it on purpose. If the medicine doesn't work, don't blame her for coming to the rescue. Qian Xiazi's name is not for nothing.
After leaving the Chinese medicine shop and returning to the guesthouse, she saw Su Xue waiting for her at the door. Gu Qingmeng hurried over and asked, "How is it? Is there a room available?"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Let's go upstairs."
Su Xue pulled Gu Qingmeng. There were still a few educated youth lingering downstairs of the guesthouse and had not left. But this was none of their business. It was good that they had a place to stay. Who knew what was waiting for them tomorrow?
Gu Qingmeng had a bad feeling.
The room for two is the second to last room on the second floor. It only has a big bed and two chairs. How would you describe the cleanliness?
I can only say that it is neither dirty nor clean, and it has a smell of humid.
"Olaf, let's go sleep in the space!"
Gu Qingmeng locked the door and dragged Su Xue into the space.
"Wow! I'm back again, dear Mengmeng. From now on, I'll follow you. Let's strive to have a place on the rich list."
Su Xue felt that she was the luckiest person. Her ability to come back to life must be related to Gu Qingmeng!
It must be that the ancestor of the Gu family saw that Gu Qingmeng was too lonely in the other world, and it happened that she had entered the space, so he brought her to this world together. Thanks to the ancestor of the Gu family, she will definitely take good care of baby Mengmeng!
She swore to keep the matter of the space a secret!
Gu Qingmeng took out some clothes to change into and saw her best friend Su Xue kneeling on the ground praying. What was going on?
"Ola...Olaf, what are you doing? Taking a bath."
She just went to the bathroom and saw that there was hot water inside. It was a natural hot spring. It would be convenient for her to take a bath in the future. Her ancestors really knew how to enjoy life. Now she is getting a good deal.
"Ah! I'm thanking our ancestors!"
After taking a shower, the two couldn't help but sigh together again and thank their ancestors!
There were a lot of ready-made food in the space. The two of them took out barbecue, crayfish, spicy hot pot and fruit beer. They ate until their mouths were full of oil. It can be said that this was the most comfortable meal they had ever had since they came to this world.
With familiar people around, my tense body and mind relaxed.
"Strong people never complain about their environment, they change it. Cheers, Mengmeng. I wish you all great success here and may all your wishes come true."
Su Xue looked at the beer in her hand. Why was she holding two cans of beer in one hand? And... why were there two Meng Mengs?
"Mengmeng, don't worry, I won't tell your secret even if I die! We are half-sisters, sisters will do anything for you. From now on, I will farm those fields, you just watch me work."
Gu Qingmeng looked at Su Xue, who was leaning against the wall, and looked up at the sky in silence. How much did she drink to get drunk? She was still watching her work, not looking down on her, as if she could do farm work.
As for the secret of the space, she believed Su Xue would not tell anyone! If she told anyone about this kind of thing, no one would believe it. If she was not careful, she might be considered to be promoting feudal superstition and then be sent to a labor camp.
She dragged the drunk upstairs. Fortunately, she was very strong and could match the strength of two or three adult men. Otherwise, she really couldn't pull her up.
After carrying the person to the bed, Gu Qingmeng really wanted to take out her phone to take a photo. What a damn boyfriend! Princess hug is a piece of cake, but it’s a pity that she didn’t bring her phone.
Worried that Su Xue would have a headache tomorrow, Gu Qingmeng found some hangover medicine and coaxed her to take it. Then she went to bed and fell asleep listening to her bestie's snoring. Was she really tired? She was even snoring?
