She rushed back to Mr. Li's yard and helped put the newly purchased furniture in order. After finishing the work, she didn't even have time to eat and hurried back to school.
After they left the house, both of them remembered that they had intended to tell each other about Qiu Dashan, but in the end, neither of them had let it slip.
It really proves the saying that if you are in the right place, you will be in the wrong place, and if you are in the wrong place, you will be blind.
But from now on, she has a proper place to stay, and she no longer has to sneak in and out of those corners.
Next time I go back to my grandfather’s place, I can lock the door and do whatever I want.
What’s more important is that batch of tattered treasures, winning tens of millions in banknotes is definitely not a dream.
Qiu Yuling has now completely given up her plan of hoarding houses like a headless fly. She will wait until the situation is not so strict. She thinks it is all about waiting for appreciation. In the same amount of time, hoarding things in storage spaces is much more reliable than hoarding houses. The most important thing is that it will not attract attention and will not arouse jealousy.
When Qiu Yuling returned to the dormitory, it was quiet. Even Qiusha, who usually knitted, was fast asleep. She wondered in her heart, could it be that these girls slept for the entire day?
But she still climbed onto her bunk quietly, and as soon as her head touched the pillow, she joined the army of people who fell asleep instantly.
The holiday was supposed to end in another week, but in order to encourage students to actively respond to the call to "go to the fields", the school added one more week of work-study on top of the original holiday.
Many students submitted applications to leave school, with the reason being to return to their hometowns to harvest. After the school verified the information, they were all allowed to leave. Isn’t it training anywhere?
When Qiu Yuling saw that this was possible, she also submitted an application. Her family were genuine farmers, and returning home in time would not delay forging and would also reduce the burden on her family, so her application was approved once it was verified.
Only Bai Qiaolan, Li Feidan and Zhao Xiaogu were left in the dormitory. They were forced to stay and experience the hardships of farming. They were so bitter that their lips were peeling.
Qiu Yuling originally wanted to stay in Lanzhou for two more days and then return slowly, but the letter of introduction issued by the school indicated the time to buy tickets. She was afraid that some of the students who did not participate in the collective labor at school would be delayed and would not be able to return home in time, thus delaying both ends.
She had no choice but to say goodbye to Old Man Li, put her bedding roll back into the west room, and rush back to Qiuzhuang on time.
When she arrived at the county, she first went to the alley, took a rest, cleaned the house inside and out, then she closed the curtains with peace of mind and slept for two days and two nights.
After catching up on her sleep, she went to the basement to check. Many of the old grains had been replaced with new ones, and the bacon inside had hardly been touched. There were also a few smoked rabbits and smoked chickens. I guess Mother Qiu and the others had saved them bit by bit when she was away.
She took out all the bacon, then added a new batch of food to replace the current ones and transferred them back to the space to feed the livestock.
He also put out a lot of new bacon strips and some glass bottles of saline solution from the hospital and put them in the corner, thinking that one day he would ask Qiu's mother to drive a donkey cart over to take them away.
The salt water bottle can be used to boil tomato sauce and it will be very useful in winter.
After finishing these things, she was able to prepare various gifts for the family.
There were old-fashioned egg cakes sold in Lan City, malted milk with packaging exactly the same as that sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and scraps of cloth of various sizes. Soap, grease, etc. were stuffed directly into the bag.
Even after returning to the familiar place, she still didn't dare to walk at night.
She slept until five in the morning and walked towards Qiuzhuang. On the way, she met a donkey cart from the same commune. The kind old man insisted on giving her a ride.
"Thank you so much, sir. If it weren't for you, it would have taken me ages to get here."
"What's the big deal? It's just a matter of time. Where does the girl study? The school just had a holiday..."
The ride was good in every way, except that the old man was too talkative and he almost figured out the location of the Qiu family's grave.
Qiu Yuling took out five or six fruit candies and handed them to the old man. "Uncle, please have some candy. This candy is very sweet."
The old man was reluctant to give it to him, but Qiu Yuling refused and simply peeled one and handed it to him for him to eat.
The old man had gaps in his teeth due to missing teeth in different positions, and he had a piece of candy in his mouth, so his speech was even more slurred and difficult to hear clearly.
Qiu Yuling seemed to be hard of hearing, making "ah ah ah" sounds, as if she couldn't hear clearly. The old man sucked his saliva and had to swallow his words back.
They arrived at the commune not too long ago. Qiu Yuling thanked the old man earnestly, gave him ten cents for the fare, and after swishing a few times, they went their separate ways.
She had only taken a few steps when she heard the sound of a gate being opened, accompanied by another familiar local accent, "Is that Yuling?"
Qiu Yuling stopped and turned around. It turned out to be Wang Aihong's father. "Hello, Uncle Wang. Are you just coming out of the commune?"
"Well, go get the fertilizer. Are you on vacation? Come on, uncle will take you there."
This is so embarrassing, Qiu Yuling said as she picked up her luggage and jumped onto the back of the bicycle.
Along the way, the two asked each other about their recent situation, and Qiu Yuling focused on asking about Wang Aihong.
Wang Aihong's father lost his temper immediately. He really couldn't find anything worth mentioning about his daughter.
"Well, she's still acting like a naughty girl. By the way, Yuling doll, can you let Honghong come and play with you? She's been thinking about you a lot."
"Of course you can. You can give her a message when you go back. She can come over whenever she wants. I've also prepared a gift for her. I originally planned to go see her after I'm settled back home.
It's a coincidence today, so please take it back for me." Qiu Yuling pretended to rummage in her cloth bag for a long time and took out a dictionary.
"Uncle Wang, please give this to Aihong and tell her to come and play with me when she has time." After she finished speaking, she jumped down from the boundary between the two teams at Erdaoliang.
"Why are you going down there? I'll take you to the door. Come up quickly."
"No, Uncle Wang, there are only a few steps left. I will go back by myself. You should hurry back to the team so as not to delay your harvest."
Harvesting quickly is of utmost importance. Upon hearing this, Captain Wang no longer insisted. After giving a few instructions, he got on his bicycle and hurried back to his team.
Qiu Yuling filled the big cloth bag completely when she was almost at the door of her house. She pushed the door, but it didn't budge.
It turned out that the door was locked from the inside. Huang Duoer inside heard the noise, wiped the water droplets on her hands, asked who it was, and opened the door as quietly as possible.
"Yuling? Why are you back? Mother said yesterday that you would arrive in the next two days. We were planning to have Dashu wait for you in the city after we finish the harvest."
"My third brother is back?" This time he actually came back in front of him.
"Well, I've been here for three or four days now. These past few days, I've been going to the fields with my parents to harvest wheat every day."
As they talked, the two of them hung the door and walked in together.
Three little beans were laying on the straw mat on the ground, hatching into cricket pupae.
"Red beans, orange beans, yellow beans, I am your aunt."
