Lian Xiaomin opened the backpack and took out a black cotton jacket and trousers, and handed them to the old lady: "It's almost November now, so you should keep this cotton coat and don't get sick from the cold again."
He took out all the food from the backpack and continued, "In addition, I took ten catties of flour, ten catties of millet, and a bag of eggs. You can find a place to hide these things and eat them slowly."
When the old lady saw these things, her eyes turned red. She didn't expect there were these. The two kids could have some nutritious food. She didn't know how to survive in the past few days. The family used to be well off, but they ran into trouble. Now she is left with two little kids...
"Auntie, if I have the chance to come to the county town again, I will send you some more. It will be worth the treasure I got from you last night, and you don't have to feel any burden."
Then he remembered something and took out a handful of candies wrapped in colorful candy wrappers from his pocket, put them on the kang, and left them for the two kids to eat. Then he got up, said goodbye, and left.
Aunt Kong saw her out and leaned against the door, watching her leave for a long time.
After leaving Yangshu Hutong, Lian Xiaomin found a deserted place and slipped into the space. This time, she took an antidote to the disguise pill, restored her original appearance, and changed back into the clothes she wore when she went out this time.
After packing up, I left the space and rushed to the shuttle bus stop. I trotted away again and finally arrived before nine o'clock.
Lian Xiaomin got on the bus on time, bought a ticket for three cents, and chose a seat by the window.
The car started moving. The roads in this era were all dirt roads. As soon as it started, it raised a cloud of dust. Lian Xiaomin quickly closed the car window tightly. Oh my god, this dirt! It's choking me to death. It's going to kill me. It's drowning.
She quickly put on her mask again. Was this a habit of modern people in their previous lives that they couldn't forget?
The car was about the size of a minibus and it stopped several times at several villages on the way. Old farmers carrying live chickens squeezed in, as did people carrying hemp bags.
Lian Xiaomin stuffed a piece of orange-flavored hard candy into her mouth and held the candy to fight off the discomfort of motion sickness. She endured it and finally arrived at Sandaogou Commune. It was really slow.
After getting off the bus, she still vomited, squatted on the side of the road, took out a lunch box with half a box of water from the backpack, rinsed her mouth, and took a long time to calm down. What a pain!
Lian Xiaomin straightened up and walked slowly with the backpack on her back. She was still a little dizzy. Not long after she walked, she heard someone calling her, "Xiaomin! Xiaomin! Over here!"
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw an ox cart parked across the road, with Chunxiu standing next to the cart.
He quickly walked over and said, "Chunxiu, why are you here?"
Chunxiu said, "I came here with my grandfather today to wait for the pick-up of educated youth. There are seven of us assigned to the Sandagou Production Team. My father asked me to come. We are almost here. They said we will arrive around noon. The county sent a car to take us here. What have you been doing?"
"I went to Jianye County yesterday. There was an aunt in my hometown village who helped me a lot, so I went to see her." Lian Xiaomin saw Chunxiu standing there without a kettle or anything. It was still quite sunny at noon, so she took out two oranges from her pocket, stuffed them into her hands, and asked her and her grandfather to eat them.
Chunxiu took it and grinned, "Wow, this orange is so big!" She turned around and handed one to her grandfather.
The old man pushed his hands and said, "You two eat!" Chunxiu still stuffed the food into his mouth, then turned around and saw the basket that Lian Xiaomin was carrying, and said, "It's quite heavy for you to carry, come back with us later."
When Lian Xiaomin came back, she put a full basket of sweet potatoes in her backpack, hoping to take some back to her aunt's house.
She didn't want to be bumped around by the ox cart again. She was still dizzy now. Besides, this ox cart might have to carry a lot of people and things, so she didn't want to make the ox tired.
"You are picking up seven educated youths, so you must have a lot of luggage and other things. The ox cart definitely can't fit them all. I can go back by myself." Lian Xiaomin said.
Chunxiu thought about it, nodded and said, "That's it."
My aunt and uncle called Zhang Changshuan "big uncle", and Lian Xiaomin called him "grandfather". She said hello, "Uncle, Chunxiu, I'm leaving first."
Zhang Changshuan also nodded to her and told her to be careful on the road. This girl is very good, kind-hearted and has good eyesight.
Lian Xiaomin walked towards the village, and seeing that there was no one on the road, she moved the sweet potatoes in the basket back into the space. It was much easier to walk with an empty basket.
It was now past noon and she was a little hungry, so she took out two buns and ate them while walking.
It is autumn in the north at this time of year, with clear and crisp weather, trees along the roadside and the sound of birds chirping from time to time.
Behind the woods are rolling hills. This range of mountains is called Lianyunling. If you have the chance, you should definitely go and take a look. I heard that there are roe deer and blind bears in the Northeast.
I have seen a movie before, "Lin Hai Xue Yuan", in which there were villages and bandits in the mountains.
In 1968, things were not peaceful. Although there were no large bandits, there were still enemy agents and scattered bandits who had not been caught before. Now every village has a security team, which is responsible for watching over the farmland of the production team and protecting the safety of the village.
The security captain of Sandaogou is called Wang Kui, who is about 27 or 28 years old, in the prime of his life. It is said that he is good at hunting. Now that the double robbery is over, he is organizing people to go hunting in the mountains. If they kill the prey, the village will have more food, as the rations were not enough.
How can I convince Wang Kui to take me with him?
Lian Xiaomin really wanted to go, but although she had the soul of a 33-year-old from her previous life, she brought her good skills with her but not her age. She was only 13 years old now and still a girl, so he couldn't take her with him. She had to think of a way.
Lian Xiaomin was walking with a frown on her face, thinking about something. Her hair was longer now, covering her ears. Girls of her age usually wear braids, and Yufang's braids were long. Her aunt asked Lian Xiaomin to grow her hair and stop looking like a tomboy.
Lian Xiaomin didn't listen. She didn't like to wear her hair in long braids. Her hair quality was not good due to her malnutrition. Although her hair was thick and abundant, it was yellow. She needed to take care of it slowly before it could turn black.
She now plans to grow her hair a little longer, to a length that just covers her cheeks, just to look cute.
It normally takes two hours to walk the twenty miles from the commune to the village, but Lian Xiaomin walked very fast. After taking the powerful pills, she not only had great strength but also had a very good physique. She walked very fast and reached the village entrance in more than an hour.
Seeing that there was no one around, she loaded the backpack with sweet potatoes, took a cloth bag in her hand, and walked towards her aunt's house. The bag contained ten kilograms of cotton and six meters of flowered cloth.
My aunt's house is in the middle of the village, and I have to pass by it on my way back home, so it's a good opportunity for me to go there and pick up the two kids.
