Let's check the inventory.
Ruan Qiushui pushed open the door, and the supplies piled up inside once again shocked Zhou Yi.
Imagine it, but seeing it with your own eyes is another matter entirely.
"Big sister, no need. Since you trust me so much, what else could I possibly worry about?"
From today onwards, Zhou Yi will be the eldest sister's die-hard fan.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Yi, Ruan Qiushui carried her basket and walked towards the post office.
Last night, she wrote three letters to let her know she was safe and sound, which she planned to send to her eldest brother who was at the research institute and her second brother who was in the army.
When their parents were sent to work on a farm, it was meant to affect the three siblings.
At that time, the parents decisively severed ties with them, and with the help of the original owner's godmother, they were able to survive.
Because of the confidentiality of his work, Ruan Qiushui's older brother is out of touch with the world and probably doesn't even know about his parents' situation.
As for the second brother, it would be difficult for him to get promoted, at least until his parents are exonerated.
She wrote to the two men, firstly to inform them of the situation at home and ask them not to return for the time being to avoid causing trouble, and secondly to give them her address so that she would have someone to discuss things with.
As for her parents, Ruan Qiushui prepared a large package containing two thick quilts and two cotton-padded coats.
To avoid attracting attention, Ruan Qiushui specially sewed many patches, and even dared not send fine grains when sending food.
Worried that his parents wouldn't survive more than a few years, he specially wrote down a code that his parents could understand and hid ten ginseng pills and two bottles of Yunnan Baiyao sewn into the sleeves of his clothes.
Of course, a portion of the medicine was also prepared for the two older brothers.
After paying the postage, Ruan Qiushui left the post office.
On her way to the bicycle parking spot, she noticed a short man following her.
Before and after going to the black market, she made a point of checking her surroundings and found no outsiders at all.
Where did this person start following me from?
Ruan Qiushui's heart sank, and she walked forward quickly.
As Ruan Qiushui sped up, the short man behind her also accelerated.
Seeing this, Ruan Qiushui turned a corner and ran into the alley, disappearing from sight.
"Baka!"
Lost them? That's impossible!
The man followed into the alley, only to find that there wasn't a single human hair in the dead end.
"That scared me to death."
Inside the space, Ruan Qiushui patted her chest and took a breath.
This shorty is nothing like those two trashy thugs from before.
The dwarf not only moved with greater agility and speed, but also exuded a menacing aura. As he ran, the bulge at his waist clearly indicated he was... well, let's just say ...
Q: Which is faster, Q or the electric baton?
Even if Ruan Qiushui were incredibly stubborn, she wouldn't risk her life.
"I don't know if that person has left or not."
Ruan Qiushui was also afraid that the dwarf might launch a surprise attack, so she could only stay in the space a little longer.
Since she had nothing better to do, Ruan Qiushui went to the livestock area and immediately slaughtered a pig, a cow, a sheep, and a duck.
"I really want to eat hot pot."
She hadn't had spicy food for several days and was really craving it.
Tripe, duck intestines, duck blood, pig brain, kidney slices, sliced lamb, sliced beef—slurp!
Add a large vegetable platter and a bottle of ice-cold cola, and it's simply perfect.
"Just thinking about it makes my mouth water."
Ruan Qiushui couldn't wait any longer and quickly took out the hot pot base to stir-fry and simmer.
She finds joy even in crisis; her mindset is truly amazing.
"It's so delicious."
Ruan Qiushui picked up a piece of tripe, dipped it in the red oil, then dipped it in the sauce and put it in her mouth, feeling as if her soul had been elevated.
After eating and drinking her fill, Ruan Qiushui changed out of her original clothes and tentatively left the space.
"Safety."
After confirming that no one was around, Ruan Qiushui quickly walked towards where the bicycles were parked.
The sun is setting now, and it will soon be dark.
To get back to the brigade, we had to pass through a small grove of trees. If we got too late, who knew if we might encounter wild animals?
With the ferocity of riding on wheels of fire, they finally returned to the brigade before dark.
"Auntie, are you home?"
With her basket slung over her shoulder, Ruan Qiushui knocked on the Gu family's door.
Gu Xiaoxiao was collecting clothes in the yard when she heard the noise and quickly opened the door.
"So you're the one who borrowed my bicycle?"
Seeing the familiar bicycle next to Ruan Qiushui, Gu Xiaoxiao glared at it angrily.
Yesterday, Xu Laidi and others mocked and teased her, saying that after her third brother returned home from military service, the family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat.
Enraged, she made a bet with them, promising not only to buy a hair accessory for Sister Wang, but also to ride the first bicycle in her village to town in style.
Who knew that after I went out to collect two baskets of pig feed in the morning, my bicycle was lent out.
Her own mother, who always granted her every request, not only refused to take back the bicycle, but also refused to give her the money to buy hair accessories.
She first broke her promise to Sister Wang, and then was ridiculed by Xu Laidi for pretending to be something she'd never been.
She was so angry that she cried for a long time after returning home, and she hated the person who lent her the bicycle.
"Is Aunt Xie home? I've come to return the bicycle."
Ruan Qiushui was puzzled by Gu Xiaoxiao's glare, but considering that the other party was young and a member of her aunt's family, she didn't take it to heart.
"This car..."
Gu Xiaoxiao was about to pick a fight and ask her to pay for the bicycle because it was damaged, but her mother covered her mouth.
"Shut up! Get inside right now, or you'll get a beating."
Xie Xiuying pulled Gu Xiaoxiao behind her and pushed her into the house.
"Ruan girl, why are you so late coming back? Did you fall on the way?"
Xie Xiuying took the bicycle and looked Ruan Qiushui up and down.
It takes at most two hours for the brigade to go to town and back. It's already late at night, and who knows if they fell somewhere and are in so much pain that they can't get up. That's why they're only just getting back.
I should have had the third brother deliver it; she just said this old bicycle was hard to ride.
"Auntie, I'm fine. I just ran into my brother's comrade-in-arms in town and had a meal with him, so I came back a little late."
Unable to tell the truth, I had no choice but to make up friends out of thin air.
"You're back?"
Gu Changfeng was carrying a load of water when he happened to run into Ruan Qiushui, who was returning her bicycle.
"Changfeng, you're back just in time. Hurry up and help take Ruan back. It's dark and the roads are slippery; it's not safe."
There are several single scoundrels in the brigade; if Ruan girl gets seduced, it will be terrible.
The third brother is very capable, and the two of them can even develop feelings for each other when they are alone.
"wait for me."
After Gu Changfeng finished speaking, he turned around, went into the courtyard, and put down the water bucket.
Let's go.
Gu Changfeng took the basket from Ruan Qiushui and strode ahead.
Ruan Qiushui waved awkwardly at Aunt Xie and quickly followed.
"Remember to let me know next time you go to town."
As they approached the entrance of the former educated youth center, Gu Changfeng put down his basket and turned around.
"Why should I tell you?"
Gu Changfeng's words left Ruan Qiushui somewhat bewildered.
"You don't think I'm like my mother, believing your 'comrade-in-arms' rhetoric, do you?"
If the girl can stand up straight and not look guilty when she lies next time, he might believe her to some extent.
"So what? Who are you to me? Why should I report my whereabouts to you?"
Is it okay to expose her to her face? Doesn't she have any dignity?
"What if I start pursuing you now?"
Gu Changfeng stared intently at Ruan Qiushui's reaction with a serious expression.
Although he had thought of a hundred ways to get closer to her that afternoon, when he was actually in front of her, all he wanted to do was sincerely tell her how he felt.
