Chapter 7 A Rustic, Useless Man



"Aunt Li, I'm taking the new educated youth to borrow some grain from Uncle Zhao."

After speaking, he carefully observed Aunt Li's expression.

Aunt Li Duoxi is the core figure of the village's gossip club. She is first-rate in both verbal and physical skills, and He Yongjun is somewhat afraid of her.

"Oh, that's what it is."

"Okay, I'll go get someone. You guys wait in the yard."

Lee Da-hee turned and left with a long face.

Alright, it's just another case of someone who eats without doing anything and wastes the food.

"Brother He, what brings you here? Who are they?"

Zhao Meimei, the youngest daughter of Accountant Zhao, had just come out of the toilet when she saw several strangers standing in the yard.

Especially that unique, elegant young man with a scholarly air, even if you can't see him clearly in the moonlight, he is still a fine young man.

"They are the new educated youth who arrived today."

He Yongjun briefly introduced the names of the four people.

Duan Zhiyu, what a wonderful name! Zhao Meimei was almost mesmerized by it.

Duan Zhiyu himself also felt the intense gaze and for a moment did not know where to look.

"Hello, I am Accountant Zhao's youngest daughter, my name is Zhao Meimei."

After Zhao Meimei finished speaking, she looked at Ruan Qiushui and deliberately puffed out her chest.

She was very confident in her physical development; that educated youth named Ruan was clearly not as big as hers.

Ruan Qiushui silently took a step back to avoid being accidentally injured.

At this moment, Accountant Zhao also came out.

"The battalion commander has already made arrangements. I'll bring you the grain right now."

After Zhao Desheng finished speaking, he went to the warehouse to get the grain.

Of course, He Yongjun and his four companions couldn't be so oblivious as to watch Accountant Zhao carry the grain alone, so they quickly followed him.

Zhao Meimei didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to Duan Zhiyu before she watched him leave.

"You brat, get back inside right now!"

Li Duoxi tapped Zhao Meimei's forehead.

How could one not know what thoughts a child carries for ten months and gives birth to?

Putting aside whether the educated youth from the city would even look at her, just ask yourself, how could this young woman be so shameless? Her eyes are practically popping out of her head.

Having successfully borrowed thirty catties of coarse grain, Ruan Qiushui and her group returned to the educated youth camp under the cover of night.

"There's hot water in the kitchen, go wash up."

Chen Fenglan was still awake. When she saw Ruan Qiushui return, she sat up.

Qin Qiaoqiao was exhausted after a long day, and embarrassed by her own mishap, so she went to bed early without eating dinner. Liu Pandi, who was next to her, heard the noise and became a little annoyed, so she turned over.

Ruan Qiushui nodded and whispered a thank you. Seeing Chen Fenglan sleeping beside her, she felt much more at ease.

Ruan Qiushui carried the hot water to the bathroom and, using the cover, went directly into the space.

After a long journey, soaking in a hot spring in a warm place is much more comfortable than simply wiping your body.

But after taking a bath, I was hungry.

I only had a bowl of plain porridge for dinner, which wasn't enough to fill my stomach.

She gained a deeper understanding of the hardships of that era.

"I'm so hungry."

With a flick of her finger, Ruan Qiushui sent a pig weighing over 400 jin (approximately 200 kg) and 200 jin (approximately 100 kg) of wheat into the processing plant.

In less than a minute, nearly two thousand steaming hot meat buns were ready.

Ruan Qiushui took three meat buns and ate them, putting the rest in the insulated compartment to eat later.

At this moment, except for the two acres of land planted with medicinal herbs which are showing signs of growth, the other eight acres are showing signs of maturity.

Nguyen Thu Thuy stored the mature crops in the warehouse, without processing them for the time being.

However, the warehouse, with a capacity of nearly 100,000 cubic meters, is about to run out of storage space.

The country has nearly one million kilograms of stored crops, 100,000 pigs, cattle and sheep, 200,000 chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits, and countless dairy products, eggs and fish.

This doesn't even include medicinal herbs and processed products.

Based on Ruan Qiushui's hamster-like nature, aside from the necessary sales to obtain gold coins to buy seeds and fertilizer, all other mature crops and animals are stored in the warehouse.

The warehouse is about to be overwhelmed, so I'll take this opportunity to go to town to sell my goods and cash out.

The original owner only brought twenty yuan with her when she went to the countryside, which might not even be enough to cover her cabinet expenses tomorrow.

She wants to cook for herself, so she needs to buy a big iron pot.

The space has a processing plant, so there's no need for kitchen utensils at all.

Her only small pot was a free gift when she bought an induction cooker for hot pot.

I don't know how much an iron pot costs, and I'm panicking because I don't have any money.

She also needs to save enough start-up funds to take advantage of the reform and opening-up policy to start a big business.

The next morning, Chen Fenglan got up early, while Ruan Qiushui rubbed her eyes and peeked out from under the covers.

"Sleep a little longer, I'll make breakfast for you."

Chen Fenglan planned to give Ruan Qiushui an extra portion of her own food.

"Sister Chen, no need. I bought some meat buns in town yesterday. I can just heat them up and eat them later."

Ruan Qiushui felt too embarrassed to eat other people's food anymore.

"Okay, I'll go get busy now."

After Chen Fenglan finished speaking, she walked out of the bedroom.

"Ruan Zhiqing, I don't have time to make breakfast either. How about I have two of your steamed buns to tide me over?"

Upon hearing about meat buns, Liu Pandi decided to skip her nap. If it weren't for Chen Fenglan's blanket separating them, she would have crawled over to Ruan Qiushui's side.

“Okay, then what will Liu Zhiqing offer in exchange? I don’t need much, just three cents will do, I don’t need the grain coupons.”

Trying to get something for free? Are you still half asleep?

"Well, you see, I don't have any money on me right now. How about I pay you back when I have some?"

Liu Pandi continued, shamelessly.

Even if she had money, she wouldn't give it to anyone, let alone if she didn't have any.

Three cents for two steamed buns? She must be out of her mind.

"Then let Liu Zhiqing have steamed buns next time."

Ruan Qiushui turned her back, too lazy to pay attention to her.

"Liu Zhiqing, I have some meat buns here, please have some."

Qin Qiaoqiao tilted her head back and glanced at Ruan Qiushui with disdain.

"I'm not like some people who are stingy. We were both sent-down youth, and they even had to pay for two steamed buns."

Qin Qiaoqiao got up, took two steamed buns from the bag and handed them to Liu Pandi. She planned to take the remaining six steamed buns out for her and Duan Zhiyu to eat for breakfast.

"Oh, thank you so much. Qin Zhiqing is beautiful inside and out."

I thought I wouldn't get anything, but there was an unexpected surprise.

This Qin educated youth is surprisingly stupid.

"You're so generous, so saintly, so utterly uncultured."

Ruan Qiushui couldn't help but roll her eyes and move to the side, wondering if idiocy was contagious.

"Of course."

Qin Qiaoqiao, who thought she had finally outmaneuvered Ruan Qiushui, was particularly confident.

Is Carpenter Wang home?

Chen Fenglan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Chen, Chen Zhiqing, what's the matter?"

When Wang Jun opened the door and saw Chen Fenglan standing outside, he immediately stammered, blushed, and was at a loss for words.

"Comrade Wang Jun, I'm bringing the new educated youth to find your father to exchange a cabinet and a box."

Chen Fenglan was also a little embarrassed and avoided looking into Wang Jun's eyes.

"My dad is home, please come in."

Wang Jun quickly let the two in, without glancing at Ruan Qiushui once, keeping his attention focused entirely on Chen Fenglan, though he wanted to look at her but dared not.
