This time when shopping in the department store, Qiu Yuling was unusually generous. She bought enamel pots, large washbasins, soaps, socks, cloths, egg cakes, and other things.
"Yuling, who in your family is getting married?"
"Ah? Oh, no, my second brother's ticket is about to expire, and I thought it would be better to stockpile it into something that can be used at any time instead of wasting it."
They were both shocked. If Qiu Yuling wasn't so young, they would have almost thought she was preparing her dowry based on her lavish demeanor.
As soon as this joke was made, it caused an eye roll, "What are you thinking, I'm still a child."
Since they had finally managed to get out, the three of them didn't think about being too frugal. After discussing it, they decided to pool their money and go to a state-owned restaurant for a meal.
On the small blackboard, there were steamed pork with rice flour, stir-fried pork slices, meat stew and vegetarian stew. In addition to noodles, there were also pork and green onion buns and dumplings with the same filling.
Both girls were craving meat, but everyone didn't have enough meat tickets, so the three of them had to settle for the next best thing and each ordered two taels of dumplings.
Li Feidan rushed to pay the money. She said that she had never treated her two friends before, so she would be the host today. Qiu Yuling couldn't refuse and had to accept the kindness.
After eating and drinking, Qiu Yuling was exhausted like a peddler, so she had to temporarily miss the afternoon drama performance with her partner. They agreed to meet at the entrance of the Cultural Palace and then go their separate ways.
Halfway through the ride, she returned to the department store. There were many people there, so it was easier to do things. She went in and out anyway, and went to the bathroom in the middle. Then she was left alone.
This kind of situation is common. When someone is short of votes, it is common for them to snatch them from others. It is a consensual thing and no one pays attention to it.
She then took the same bus as the two sisters and went over to chase them.
"Hey, how did you catch up so quickly?" Zhao Xiaogu hadn't even finished his candied haws when he saw Qiu Yuling running towards him, panting heavily.
"I was afraid. I was afraid you would get impatient waiting for me." Her panting made it worthwhile that she got off the bus earlier and ran over with all her strength.
"It's still early, I'll give you a candied haws." The candied haws seller had left early, and they thought it would take a long time for her to come, so they didn't prepare any for her at all.
"I don't want to eat. I just ran all the way in a hurry. Let me take a breath first."
It didn't take long before the gate opened and we were allowed to pass.
What they were watching was Hai Rui's dismissal from office!
This was a drama that had a significant impact at the time, and it was also a good show that addressed the current situation at the time, so its popularity was quite high.
Qiu Yuling came with the purpose of witnessing history, and looked at every frame very carefully.
This drama takes redressing an injustice as the main plot and returning tenancy as the secondary plot, focusing on how Hai Rui avenges the people and kills corrupt officials. It is a drama that focuses more on personal heroism.
Of course, Qiu Yuling looked at the situation from a God's perspective that was judged by later generations. To Li Feidan and others, a judge who was upright and honest, who spoke for the people and sacrificed himself for others, was exactly the good official that everyone hoped for.
But now there are different voices, otherwise the school would not recommend students to watch this drama and write their own impressions.
There were nine acts in total, and they were all over when it was dark. The three of them started discussing it.
Zhao Xiaogu and Li Feidan had the same idea, and they all thought it was good, very good, and excellent.
"Hai Rui is a true hero. He was a true hero who dared to resist the feudal dynasty and won."
"But what about the farmers? They can only entrust their fate to 'Hai Qingtian' and passively cry out for justice. Perhaps they can do something themselves."
This was a political question, and that’s all I had to say. At the intersection, the three of them simply said goodbye.
Qiu Yuling had only one feeling: it was coming, this special catastrophe or salvation was coming to the beat of its own drum.
Some content is left to the winners to write. She does not judge whether it is good or bad. Everyone should have their own independent thoughts, but she wants to be affected as little as possible in this torrent.
In fact, during this movement, farmers and workers have enjoyed a rare period of peace and tranquility.
As the day passed, the longing she felt for her second brother became a little less intense.
When she returned, the old man was sitting in the yard playing with the dog.
"Girl is back, come and sit down."
As soon as she heard this opening remark, Qiu Yuling felt that something serious was going on.
As expected, the old man said that Bank of America could no longer stay at home. I don’t know which black-hearted person reported it.
If he hadn't been quick-witted enough to untie the noose and let Bank of America run away, he might have been beaten to death on the spot.
Qiu Yuling's heart skipped a beat. "What about you? Are you injured?"
"No, I'm not Zi Xiu, I just took in a stray dog, why would they hurt me?
But they want to hurt Bank of America!
Good dog, I really can't bear to let it go. It knows how to hide and come back to the house when it gets dark, but I'm useless and can't protect it."
The old man was almost crying, and Bank of America seemed to sense it as well, with a whimper of grievance in his voice.
"Master Gan, in that case, I'll send Meiyin away tonight."
"Send away? How?"
"Oh, that's not what you think. I sent her to the countryside. She's quite clever. There are plenty of stray dogs in the countryside, and it's not as noisy as in the city."
"Okay then. I'll go with you. I'm worried about you going out alone at this late hour."
"Why should you worry? We still have the dog. If you follow me, people will worry about you. Don't worry, I'm fine. You've seen me exercising early in the morning, and you said my boxing skills are very powerful..."
The old man thought about it and realized that it was true. What if the group of people there during the day were still staring at him?
After the two of them whispered for a while, Qiu Yuling put the American silver into a sack, put it on the bicycle, and rode away at a very fast speed.
She took Meiyin back to the space farm in a deserted place. Gouzi and her mother were reunited and were so happy that they rode around the city for a long time before going back.
The old man hadn't slept yet. When he heard the door open, he came out from the main room.
"How's it going? Is it settled?"
"It's settled. It's not called resettlement. Let her return to nature. She's quite happy about it."
"Oh, that's good, that's good." In fact, it's not good. What if there are bad people in nature? It's just that I don't let it suffer under my nose, and I can deceive myself to feel better.
"Uncle, please let me take away all the books and other things at home."
"Huh? What book?"
“All the books.”
The old man stared at Qiu Yuling for a long time, as if he wanted to see a flower bloom in her, but finally he lowered his shoulders and agreed.
He lit a kerosene lamp and spent half the night tidying up. He carried all his books out of the main room and handed them over to Qiu Yuling.
Never asked why from beginning to end.
