Xie Yuanyuan's family secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she went to the countryside this time.
When Xie Yuanyuan went to sign up to go to the countryside, she was clutching her household registration book tightly in her hand, and her heart was actually full of complicated feelings.
After her initial anxiety subsided, she decided to sign Xie Ting up for the rural assignment as well.
She told the staff directly that her younger brother really wanted to go to the countryside to serve his country.
They immediately registered Xie Ting.
Moreover, she specifically chose a spot in the next batch of educated youth to go to the countryside. The reason she didn't apply for this batch was because she was afraid her parents would find out.
After registering, she cautiously said to the staff member inside, "Comrade, could you wait until closer to going to the countryside before telling my family?"
“Our family members are all quite low-key and don’t want everyone to know about this. Is that alright with you?”
The staff at the educated youth office had seen all kinds of people, and upon hearing this, they immediately understood that there must be something going on.
But their main responsibility is to handle matters related to educated youth going to the countryside. Now that someone has volunteered, they are overjoyed and would never ask about the specifics.
The staff member smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, we won't say anything more, don't worry."
Xie Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows smugly.
snort!
She specifically booked an island for Xie Ting.
I've heard that you have to work all year round there, and the weather is extremely hot. Someone like Xie Ting, a northerner, definitely wouldn't be able to stand it.
A good-for-nothing like Xie Ting, who loves gambling, needs to be sent to the countryside for a good reformation.
Stepping out of the educated youth office, the sun was shining brightly outside, and a cool breeze gently brushed against her cheeks. Xie Yuanyuan felt refreshed and invigorated. For some reason, she suddenly felt an urge to write a letter to Xie Yan.
Back home, she couldn't wait to sit down at her desk, spread out some stationery, pick up her pen, and begin to write at length, recording everything that had happened at home during that time, including her own trip to the countryside and how she enrolled Xie Ting in the countryside program.
For a moment, she wanted to report to the Northwest, but thinking about the mess she had made before, she was too ashamed to go and cause trouble for Xie Yan.
She and Xie Duoduo recently consulted with someone and applied directly to the southwest region, where there are supposedly many wild vegetables and mushrooms, so at least people won't go hungry.
She dared not have any other hopes now, only that she could return to the capital alive.
After registering, Xie Yuanyuan inexplicably wrote a letter to Xie Yan.
···
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning, Yu Yuehui took the deerskin to find Zhang Shiyu.
Of course, Zhang Shiyu also brought the cloth that Gu Che bought for her; she even made a special trip to the educated youth settlement to get it.
Zhang Shiyu was arguing with his brother Zhang Weimin when he saw Yu Yuehui coming in from outside.
She immediately abandoned her fourth brother and waved to Yu Yuehui, saying, "Yuehui, over here."
Yu Yuehui turned her footsteps and headed straight for the main house.
They ran into Zhang Shiyu, who was coming out of the main house, halfway there. She glanced at the things in Yu Yuehui's hands and pulled her directly towards her own house.
Zhang Weimin was very friendly when he saw Yu Yuehui. She was a rare good friend of his younger sister. He nodded and went into his room.
They left the space to the two sisters who seemed to be whispering secrets to each other.
As soon as Yu Yuehui followed Zhang Shiyu into the house, she explained her purpose for coming.
Zhang Shiyu was a little confused. Although she felt that her embroidery skills were not bad, she had always had a vague feeling that her embroidery style was absolutely unique.
Now someone is saying they've seen this embroidery technique before?
Zhang Shiyu was a little confused.
But believing that it's a fool not to make money, she didn't say anything and readily agreed.
Yu Yue took out a piece of blue and white printed fabric and said, "Shiyu, I'll make you a dress out of this fabric. You'll look beautiful in it!"
Zhang Shiyu also liked the fabric, but she mostly wore her work clothes and rarely had the opportunity to wear her own clothes.
Therefore, all of her clothes are relatively new!
Looking back at her, Yu Yue knew what she was thinking and said directly, "Oh! Why think so much?"
"Just do it if you like it!"
"Think about it! You still have Sundays, right? You'd look so good wearing a dress like this out!"
Zhang Shiyu pouted, "Yuehui, I've noticed you've changed!"
Yu Yue replied: "?"
A little confused, she said, "Ah! What's changed? Have I lost weight again?"
After saying that, Yu Yue looked down at her body. This shouldn't be happening!
She's been eating every day lately and hasn't had time to exercise much, so how could she lose weight?
Zhang Shiyu laughed and said, "I'm saying your mindset has changed!"
"You would never have said something like that before."
Yu Yue recalled that it really was true!
She used to never be willing to use anything good on herself!
Thinking this, she lay on the neatly folded quilt and said with a smile, "That's right! I didn't even notice until you said it. If it were the old me, I would definitely have advised you to put away such good fabric."
Zhang Shiyu nodded with a smile, "You were so silly before! You must have accumulated so many good things!"
"In the end, how much of it will fall on you?"
Yu Yue sighed. She was somehow connected to the black market, so how could she not get things like cloth and cotton?
But her long-standing frugality and sense of unworthiness meant that she rarely used nice things on herself.
One year, red shirts were very popular, and she managed to get three feet of red cloth to make one for herself when she got home.
But looking at the brand-new fabric, she couldn't bear to make it.
I'm worried that if I make it, it will make me look darker, and then I'll just be wasting fabric.
That piece of cloth was kept at the bottom of the box the whole time.
When her eldest brother got married, the family searched everywhere but couldn't find any red cloth to make a wedding dress for her sister-in-law. So she took out the piece of cloth that she had treasured for a long time and solved the family's urgent problem.
Although her mother said there would be a chance to buy tickets for her again later, the family was later expanded, making it even more difficult to get tickets, which was already difficult for them.
But she never thought of asking her family to pay her back. After all, they are family. If they had to distinguish between "yours" and "mine" in everything, what kind of family would they be?
But things like this happen all the time in her life.
Zhang Shiyu knew Yu Yuehui's personality and had repeatedly advised her not to always wrong herself like this, but to think more about herself and be kinder to herself.
However, Yu Yuehui always listened quietly, neither refuting Zhang Shiyu's words nor truly taking these suggestions to heart, and continued to do as she pleased.
How did you manage to change someone who's been more stubborn than a donkey all these years?
Zhang Shiyu was really curious!
What prompted such a drastic change in her?
After listening back, Yu Yue smiled and said, "Get married!"
Zhang Shiyu: "..."
Instant change of expression, no hee hee!
