"No matter what you do, you learn it slowly. Besides, I'm not lying. The last time you got sick, you cured it yourself."
Zhang Cuicao said, "That's right, I believe you."
He Wan said, "We finally came to the county, let's take a walk before leaving."
"Okay, let's go to the department store."
"Walk."
He Wan's shopping needs were not great, because with Lao Yun, she had no shortage of food, clothing, and daily necessities, but she still bought a pound of glutinous rice noodles and two pounds of egg cakes.
Zhang Cuicao said, "I want to buy a bar of soap, but unfortunately I don't have a ticket."
Su Ranran said: "Yes, I want to buy shampoo."
He Wan said: "I have tickets here, I'll give them to you."
Zhang Cuicao asked, "He Zhiqing, how come you have so many votes?"
He Wan smiled: "I can receive subsidies every month, and some tickets, but these tickets are useless."
Su Ranran said: "Okay, we can't let you give it to us for free, let's give you money."
He Wan said without hesitation: "Okay."
Several people bought a lot of things and walked happily towards Dalizhuang.
When we were almost at the outermost ring of the county town, we saw Chen Qing coming from the west carrying a bamboo basket.
He Wan thought she must have gone to the black market. She remembered that it was a government unit. The black market couldn't be near the government unit. The truth was revealed. No wonder she couldn't find the place. It turned out to be at the government unit.
In the past, when she went to the county, she always went through the mountains, but today she happened to meet a bus.
The road from the county just passed by their village, and a few villages ahead was their commune, so it only took them half an hour to get there by car.
The next day after they came back, it snowed heavily again. He Wan and the others rarely went out. They stayed in the house and learned how to knit sweaters from Zhang Cuicao.
Chen Qing went out with a bamboo basket on her back, because according to her system, snow in this era was also very valuable. It would be strange for her to take a break with such a good thing that fell from the sky.
I started rubbing the corn these two days, and there are also vegetables planted on the wasteland. Now that there has been a light snow, we have to pull them out quickly.
The wasteland has just been reclaimed and does not have much nutrition, so the cabbage and radishes do not grow well.
But it is also a source of income for the village. After the cabbages and radishes are picked, they are distributed to every household.
Today He Wan was not allocated a vegetable plot, but instead went with the villagers to rub corn.
Fortunately, He Wan had gloves, otherwise her hands would have been broken after a day of work.
After a few days, all the corn was harvested, and He Wan also got five cabbages and five radishes.
The Youth League Office also got the news. Because they left the commune's phone number, people from the commune came directly and first found Captain Chen.
Captain Chen led his men over.
The person who came was a young gay man in his twenties. When he saw them, he asked, "Excuse me, are you Comrade He Wan, Zhang Cuicao, or Su Ranran?"
"Yes."
"The Youth Office has prepared some books for you. If you want to study medicine, one of you can go to the county hospital for a winter of study and exchange. However, you will need to go back and forth to the county hospital every day, and you will not have any food or salary. Can you endure this?"
Su Ranran said excitedly: "Yes, we can hold on."
The young man nodded and said, "Also, if you want to go to the veterinary station for communication, you can go there as well."
"Yes, yes, we are willing to go."
"Okay, go to the Youth Office tomorrow, and Director Liu will make arrangements for you."
"Thank you comrade for making this trip for us in such a cold weather."
He Wan said this and quickly went back into the house, took out some White Rabbit milk candies and gave them to the comrade from the commune.
"No, no, this is what I should do. I can't accept this."
"It just snowed, and the road is hard to walk on. Putting a piece of candy in your mouth can increase your temperature a little. You're welcome, comrade."
The comrade had no choice but to accept it. After Captain Chen sent them away, he asked them what was going on. The male educated youth also looked at them in confusion.
He Wan hurriedly explained to them, "Captain, I am a new educated youth who came here this year. As you know, we educated youth from the city don't know much about these crops. We want to use our knowledge and our own strengths to do something for Dali Village, so we went to the educated youth office and told them about our current confusion. We asked the educated youth office to help us borrow some books on planting and breeding. Who knew that Director Liu was so attentive and even got us the opportunity to learn and exchange.
Su Zhiqing knows some Chinese herbal medicine, and we want to learn some systematic health knowledge so that if there is anyone in the village suffering from a headache or fever, they won’t have to run so far, as we can see a doctor ourselves.
Besides, our village is next to the mountains, so we can’t waste such a good resource. Once we learn how to plant and raise livestock, we can open up wasteland and raise chickens and ducks in the mountains. Also, it would be a waste if we don’t raise fish in the pond in our village.”
