Chapter 107: Well planned
I almost delayed my work.
Fortunately, she didn't sleep until two in the afternoon. Otherwise, apart from the journey to town, it would have been dark by the time she went there and back.
A whole day was wasted just like that.
Fortunately, it was still in time at eight o'clock. Jiang Xian thought angrily in her heart that it was all the Liu family's fault, otherwise she would not have been so tired yesterday.
Jiang Xian closed her eyes, struggled to drive away the sleepiness, and then got out of the quilt. She didn't want to have the chance to fold the quilt.
But when she saw that the shops of other educated youth were all folded so neatly and tidy, she felt embarrassed to come.
It also cannot be too messy, as that would make her look too different. She doesn't mind what others say about her, but she really doesn't want to be labeled as unhygienic.
How embarrassing!
Anyway, folding the quilt only takes a minute. No matter how well you fold it, just fold it first.
Although it is summer now, when the original owner went to the countryside, her family only gave her one quilt.
It's so hot under the big quilt in the middle of summer.
She likes to kick off the quilt at night, and she feels that her heat rash is about to break out after covering herself with such a thick quilt.
If she had time today, she would go to the department store in town and look carefully to see if there was a suitable summer quilt available for her.
That way you can be more comfortable when covering yourself with it in the middle of the night.
The main reason is that the prices in this era are not that expensive, so Jiang Xian can still afford to buy a quilt.
When she and Lu Bin get married in the future, this quilt will not be wasted. It is something they will need for a long time, so they still have to buy another one.
Jiang Xian secretly had an idea in his mind. He thought that if he was going to buy a bed, he should buy an expensive one that would last longer, be of good quality and be comfortable to use.
After thinking about this, Jiang Xian began to plan in her mind. She had to allocate her time reasonably to ensure that she could complete all the things in her plan today.
Jiang Xian raised her eyes and glanced at the situation inside the educated youth center. Those educated youth had already gone to work, and she was the only one in the center at the moment.
Jiang Xian was happy to have some peace and quiet. After arranging everything she needed to do, she was no longer in a hurry. She slowly ran to fold the quilt.
The quilts of this era are all made of pure cotton, so they are very heavy. Even though Jiang Xian is an adult, he still finds it a bit difficult to fold the quilt.
The original owner's family didn't treat her well, so this quilt was simply the most worn-out one in the house and given to the original owner.
The quilt doesn't feel good to the touch, and it's not soft at all when you cover yourself with it, it's just hard.
Even folding it was a little difficult, and it was in a mess. She was too tired in the past few days, and there were many things to deal with. Plus, she had just traveled through time and had not yet reacted, so she had not noticed how uncomfortable the quilt was when covering her body.
It was not until today that she realized that this quilt was so hard that Jiang Xian frowned. This quilt could not be folded into shape no matter how hard she tried. If you didn't know, you would think it was made of steel bars or iron plates. It was so hard that it was beyond belief.
Jiang Xian was really curious, so she picked up the quilt and looked at it carefully.
This quilt was well protected by the original owner. The quilt cover was washed so hard that it turned white. It is very clean. It can be seen that the original owner was a clean person.
Originally, Jiang Xian wanted to tear the quilt cover into pieces. She wanted to see what the cotton inside looked like. But then she thought, it is not easy to buy anything in this day and age. Although the quilt cover has become white after washing, it can still be used.
If you buy one less thing, you can spend less money. Jiang Xian held back and chose to quietly unzip the quilt.
As soon as the zipper was opened, she was stunned.
Although he had already imagined it, Jiang Xian did not expect that what he would see when he opened the quilt would be such a scene.
The black cotton is not only hard but also very dirty.
It looks like it hasn't been washed in eight hundred years.
Jiang Xian simply couldn't bear it any longer. She even began to suspect that the original owner might be a Ninja Turtle.
She just didn't believe in this quilt. The original owner had never taken it apart and had never seen what was inside the quilt.
The quilt cover of this quilt was washed so clean, it must have been washed regularly by the original owner.
Maybe it's out of helplessness.
Supplies were quite scarce in that era, and even if the original owner knew about it, there was no way he could buy a new quilt.
In addition, although she was an educated youth in the village and had been working in the fields, she was always targeted by Liu Yingying and was maliciously not given any work points.
This also resulted in the original owner having very little money in his pocket.
Even if she wanted to change the quilt, she didn't have the chance to do so.
Jiang Xian was silent for a moment. She had originally been thinking about taking the quilt out to wash and air it.
It can make the quilt softer, expose it to the sun, and prevent it from becoming damp.
But now it seems that there is absolutely no need to keep the cotton in the quilt. Leaving it on her bed for even one more second would be disrespectful to her.
Jiang Xian felt a chill in his heart when he thought about how she had been covering herself with such a dirty quilt for so many days.
Although she was not a germaphobe, when she looked at the original owner's quilt, she estimated that it was more than 20 years old, and there must be countless sweat and urine stains on it. If she relaxed and took a breath, she could smell a very unpleasant odor.
When mixed together, it simply irritates the nose.
Jiang Xian couldn't bear it any longer. After leaving the educated youth center, she would throw the dirty quilt into the village garbage dump.
So as not to be an eyesore to her.
When thinking about the original owner’s uncle and aunt, it’s not too outrageous.
Fortunately, I have already severed relations with the original owner's uncle and aunt, so I don't have to bother with them now. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to deal with these relationships.
Jiang Xian closed her eyes and thought about her upcoming marriage to Lu Bin. In such a faraway village, the original owner’s uncle and aunt should not be able to know the news, otherwise, given their nature, they would definitely come and make a scene.
No matter what, even if they were not nice to the original owner, they had raised her for so many years. How could they miss an opportunity to squeeze the original owner's dowry?
It is better to have less trouble than more. This is one of the reasons why Jiang Xian chose to tell the Lu family when discussing the marriage and not to notify her family.
One is the worry that their betrothal gift will be defrauded.
Another reason is that he was afraid that the original owner’s uncle and aunt would come and cause trouble.
Jiang Xian didn't want to cause himself any more trouble.
Anyway, the original owner's parents are already dead, and this uncle and aunt are not direct relatives, there is no relationship at all, so it’s okay not to invite them.
Jiang Xian breathed a sigh of relief, praying that nothing serious would happen.
There was no time to think so much, she still had to get down to business.
Jiang Xian stopped looking at the quilt. She planned to tidy up her appearance first. She couldn't look too dirty when going out.
I need to change my clothes and take a shower.
In those days, it was not convenient for the educated youth to fetch water for bathing in the village. There was a well on the east side of the village, which took about five or six minutes to walk to the educated youth.
Generally speaking, the educated youth at the educated youth site would go to the well to fetch water after returning from work in the evening, then boil some water on the stove at the educated youth site and do some simple washing.
Even in summer, the water from the well is icy cold and very uncomfortable to wash with.
But today, Jiang Xian really didn't want to go through so much trouble. Plus, she was in a hurry, so she simply went to the well outside the educated youth site to fetch a bucket of water.
Then go back to the educated youth point and take a shower directly to cool down.
Before Jiang Xian left, she did not forget to take the bed with her. She just threw away the quilt she wanted to throw away.
Otherwise, when she finishes taking a shower and changes into new clothes, and then goes to pick up the quilt, her new clothes will get dirty again.
Although the village garbage collection point was quite far from the educated youth site, Jiang Xian didn't mind taking a detour and walking a few more steps.
Just think of it as exercise.
After throwing the quilt, Jiang Xian felt much happier both physically and mentally.
Then she carried her wooden bucket and went to the well near the educated youth site to fetch water.
She chose to throw away the quilt first. After all, it was impossible for her to fetch water directly while holding the quilt. It would be convenient for her to fetch water later if she just threw the quilt away.
On the way to fetch water, Jiang Xian also met several villagers. After what happened yesterday, the villagers' impression of her was somewhat scary.
They are afraid that they will become another Jiang Xian.
In addition, Lu Bin and Jiang Xian are about to get married, so Jiang Xian is now the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, the kind that has someone protecting her.
Now, any one of Lu Bin and Jiang Xian is someone they can't afford to offend.
I don’t know when they accidentally made Jiang Xian unhappy. It would be terrible if they targeted him.
It would be better to stay away from Jiang Xian, so as to avoid a lot of trouble.
Jiang Xian naturally noticed that although these villagers were polite when greeting her, their expressions all revealed fear.
Jiang Xian was silent for a moment, thinking that she was really not that scary.
The matter between her and Liu Yingying and the Liu family was also because of them, who took the initiative to provoke her.
Otherwise, Jiang Xian is not the kind of person who likes to provoke others, and she will not bully others for no reason.
For Liu Yingying, it was simply intolerable and she could not tolerate it any longer.
Liu Yingying and the Liu family father and daughter have already bullied her, so it’s no wonder that she’s being rude.
She was just fighting back normally.
The two Liu brothers were beaten by her because if she didn't fight back, she would be the one to be beaten.
She did this simply to protect herself.
The way these villagers looked at her at this moment made her seem a little aggressive, as if it was her fault to send Liu Yingying to prison.
Of course, these were just Jiang Xian's guesses. Even if the villagers had such ideas in their minds, they did not dare to raise them in front of her.
In the eyes of these villagers, she is now someone who is not easy to mess with.
After Jiang Xian figured out the villagers' strange reactions, he didn't care so much about them anymore.
Anyway, she was too lazy to deal with these relationships, so it was absolutely impossible for her to forgive Liu Yingying and not pursue her charges further.
These villagers were afraid of her because of this, which was something she was more than happy about.
The farther away from her, the better. It would be best if you don't provoke her. It's good for others to know that Jiang Xian is a powerful person, so that others will no longer have any bad intentions towards her.
After Jiang Xian came to terms with it, her mood instantly improved a lot. She hummed a little tune and carried the water she had just drawn as she returned to the educated youth point.
The original owner was also a clean person. Although she didn't have many clothes, each piece was very clean. Even the materials that turned white from washing were not stained with dust or oil.
This also saves Jiang Xian from having to do the laundry.
Since she was the only one at the educated youth point at the moment, it would be much more convenient for her to take a shower in the room.
Jiang Xian directly locked the house and then closed the windows and doors tightly.
She washed herself, her hair and the clothes she had taken off, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. The weather had been hot recently and she had sweated a lot.
After this cleansing, I feel a lot more refreshed.
After changing into new clothes and drying her hair, Jiang Xian felt much more energetic. After packing everything up, she went out again.
Before going out, Jiang Xian looked at the time and found that because she was taking a shower and fetching water from the well, she had indeed wasted a lot of time.
It's already half past nine and she has wasted an entire hour.
Jiang Xian suddenly became anxious. He stopped hesitating and chose to speed up.
She didn't even pick up the bag, but took the key to the educated youth center and locked the door.
Although there were not many visitors to the educated youth center, it was still tacitly agreed that when someone left the house, they had to lock the door, no matter who they were.
This is understandable. The room is filled with the educated youth's personal belongings, and there might be valuable items among them.
In case something is lost if you don't lock the door, there is no surveillance in the village like in big cities these days, so if something is lost you can only grit your teeth and bear it.
There is no other way.
Locking the door can avoid these, convenient things.
Jiang Xian chose to do as he was told and not break this rule.
After locking the door, according to the original owner's memory, she hid the key in a place known to the other educated youth in the house.
In case she couldn't come back at that time, these educated youth would be able to find the key and enter the house.
After packing everything up, Jiang Xian walked out of the gate of the educated youth center and headed towards the town.
Before she left, she glanced at the clock on the wall of the educated youth center. By the time she reached the town, even if she walked at a fast pace, it would probably be past ten o'clock.
In this case, she could go to the town first, find a breakfast shop to eat, and then go to the tailor shop to ask the owner to alter her clothes.
