“That works too, we happen to have industrial permits. We need to buy seasonings and stuff as well.”
"Let's go. We have to start work tomorrow, so we need to get everything ready as soon as possible."
The two then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pot.
Bai Yajing, who had been following the two, had no choice but to turn back.
She followed the two of them today to see if they would come into contact with anyone, but they didn't. This was somewhat unexpected.
Did they not have a contact person? Did they come alone?
But we'll have to wait and see.
After that, Bai Yajing followed the two back to Xinghua Village.
Li Xingyue didn't go to town today; she just stayed in the village and exchanged food and supplies with the villagers.
Liu Meiling also went along, and they divided the work of watching over these people.
The two had agreed to buy a trunk to store their clothes. So they asked for directions and came to the carpenter's house.
Knocking on the courtyard gate, Li Xingyue greeted the person who opened it with a gentle smile, "Auntie, we are the new educated youth. My name is Li Xingyue, and this is Liu Meiling. We've come to buy a suitcase."
Looking at her two beautiful daughters, Aunt Wang was also very happy. No educated youth had ever visited their village before, so she was naturally quite curious.
"Alright, alright, come in and choose for yourselves. Besides the boxes, we also have a lot of winnowing baskets, bamboo baskets, and carrying baskets. You can exchange those for yourselves when you go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables."
The wild vegetables and mushrooms in these mountains are so tender right now! They're delicious!
It's spring now, and wild vegetables and mushrooms are coming out in the mountains. You can go and dig for wild vegetables to eat.
Liu Meiling also likes to eat wild vegetables and mushrooms, and she was very interested when she heard this. "That's great, Auntie. I'll take another basket. I'm free this afternoon, so I'll go for a walk in the mountains."
Thinking about the money in her hand, Li Xingyue also decided to go for a walk in the mountains. "Auntie, I want one too, thank you."
"Alright, alright, I'll get it for you. Please sit down first. But it's not safe in these mountains, so you can just wander around at the foot of the mountain. When the farming season is over, the brigade leader will organize a trip to the mountains, and then we can go deep into the mountains."
"Thank you so much for reminding us, Auntie. We wouldn't have known if you hadn't told us." Li Xingyue's face was full of gratitude, which instantly gave Auntie Wang a strange sense of accomplishment.
After that, we had a very engaging conversation.
Liu Meiling would occasionally chime in, secretly observing Li Xingyue.
This person's every move today was normal. If there was anything special about him, it was simply that he was getting familiar with the village in advance and getting along well with the villagers.
Moreover, she greeted everyone she saw along the way, regardless of whether she knew them or not, so you can imagine how good her reputation would be in the village later.
Moreover... watching her chat happily with Aunt Wang, Liu Meiling was quite impressed. That woman's social graces and impeccable manners were something she, if she were a man, would also want to marry...
After settling the bill and leaving the carpenter's house, the two of them each took a box and a basket on their backs and went home.
"Meiling, the things my family sent earlier should arrive in a couple of days. I'll ask Grandpa Niu from the village to help me pick them up. What about yours? When will it arrive?"
Liu Meiling calculated the date and said, "It should be around the same time as yours, so let's do it together then."
“Okay. That’s good too, then we won’t have to go to town alone. We’ve just arrived and don’t know anyone here, and since we’re girls, it’s better if we go together.”
"Yes, it's definitely better to go together." With her by her side, she can keep a close eye on the person.
