邱玉玲连同自己住的小屋的书，全都收到麻袋里，也只眯瞪了小半宿，天才蒙蒙亮，就骑着自行车又出去了。
回来的时候只剩个空麻袋。
爷孙俩默契的一个没问，另一个没说，就跟每一个寻常的日子一样，只惦记着吃吃喝喝。
Fortunately, the old man was not a cultural worker. He had been a worker all his life and was still a qualified fitter when he retired. He was a loud and rough man in his daily life and not many people paid attention to him.
After all the commotion yesterday, the dog fled without anyone holding on to him.
What's more, the old man is a martyr's relative, and his wife, who is buried in the cemetery, can come out from time to time to support him.
"Uncle, we should all be careful recently. We shouldn't eat or drink anything too eye-catching. We should eat in the cafeteria as much as possible, and the dishes we order shouldn't be too fancy. When we come back, we can secretly add some extra food to make up for it."
The old man looked up at Qiu Yuling again.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qiu Yuling touched her face and found no steamed bun residue.
It is true that the old man is too high-profile when it comes to getting food. She has not faced that movement directly, so who knows if there will be people who are jealous and will make trouble about it. It is necessary to be careful.
As for herself, at school, apart from helping to prepare meat dishes twice, one of the times was paid for by a classmate and she prepared it herself.
I was always frugal at other times. Not to mention meat and vegetables, I rarely even got rice from the cafeteria.
As for listening to the sound of farts, the old man had been through a lot, and he had been exposed to much more people and information than a little kid, so he naturally followed the advice. However, he was even more surprised at the little girl's sensitivity.
Qiu Yuling had originally wanted to write a letter to her third brother, but then she thought about how he had inherited their mother's stinginess and decided it wasn't necessary. However, it was true that he hadn't sent any more supplies.
Just like that, apart from the fact that her second brother had lost contact again, the days seemed to be no different.
It is commendable that Qiu Yuling’s harmonica playing has finally become as good as her erhu playing.
The school's cliques were becoming increasingly distinct. She simply devoted all her limited time to various studies, leaving herself no opportunity to speak out and preventing cliques from trying to win over her classmates.
In addition to daily morning jogging and various physical training programs on the playground, she plays the erhu in the literature and art club in her spare time.
This is her fifth year as Qiu Yuling, but her erhu studies can be traced back to her previous life.
The old principal used the erhu in music class back then, which was her enlightenment after coming here, and it was barely enough to conceal her identity.
Then after attending technical secondary school, the school's art club had erhu and horse-head fiddle, and she really became proficient in her skills.
There was also a Han girl from Mobei in the art club who played the horse-head fiddle very well. When Qiu Yuling had no classes, she would listen to her music for the entire afternoon.
Until one day when the erhu teacher was away and the students in the club asked who could take his place, she tried to take over and played a piece called "Red Coral".
The teacher who had just returned from work happened to hear this and immediately praised her seriously.
He claimed that Qiu Yuling was a talented and low-key student, so he gave his position to Qiu Yuling.
It so happened that this year's school first encouraged students to watch Han Rui Dismissed from Office on their own, and later organized student leaders to watch a public screening.
After returning, the student union initiated an initiative to recruit students from the art club and other students who had artistic talents but were not in the art club to rehearse a student version of Han Rui's Dismissal.
In this way, Qiu Yuling had the honor to join this makeshift team.
After rehearsing for more than five months, just as the New Year's Day performance was about to begin, the school suddenly called a halt.
Soon after, a well-connected student got his hands on the November issue of Beijing News, which reprinted Yao's article "On Han Rui's Dismissal from Office," which had a clearer intention than the previous advocacy.
Now, Qiu Yuling was even more anxious to find an internship for herself.
She even suggested to Qiu Dashu during this summer vacation that regardless of the salary or location, he should be given priority in employment, and he should actively strive for internship opportunities when the intended unit wants them.
On her side, there was no sign of any company recruiting interns, so even if she tried her best, she had nowhere to go.
Seeing her anxious as a headless fly, the old man finally spoke, "Yuling, come and sit for a while."
Qiu Yuling is quick to accept advice.
"Tell me what you think about the employer."
Is this something she could have thought of?
She replied loudly, and the old man rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Then why are you panicking? There's always a chance of getting better. As long as you don't insist on staying in Lan City, in Dachang, returning to your county will be easy to arrange. Why are you panicking?"
"I'm just in a hurry to make money, haha. Hey, why is it so difficult for the sun to rise at seven or eight o'clock in the morning?" It was inconvenient to say it out loud, so Qiu Yuling had to laugh it off.
But when she lay in her little bed at night, she thought carefully. Why should she be so panicked? What was there to be panicked about? Could they possibly send her to the frontier? She wanted to see where the cold and bitterness of Qiuzhuang was worse than hers.
She is already the General Fuyuan guarding the border, why is she still so emotional? Even if she returns to her hometown to farm, can she starve to death?
Her restless heart suddenly settled down.
When she woke up the next day, she was still humming a little tune. Her state was completely different from before. When the old man sent her out, he looked at her several times. Qiu Yuling didn't explain anything, just made a face and went to school.
She had been studying diligently all morning, and was planning to have some steamed buns with chili sauce for lunch when she saw Li Feidan coming over with a lunch box.
"Is there anything happy today? What is it?"
"Huh? Is it obvious?"
"Yeah, I always feel that you are in a hurry recently, and you don't put your heart into anything you do."
"Well, I'm worried about my second brother. I haven't heard from him in a long time. The kind of work he does makes people worry about him."
"Oh, that's right. Is there any news now?"
"Not really. I just thought it through. No news is good news." He winked at Li Feidan as he said this.
Li Feidan understood immediately. Over there, if someone died, it would only take a telegram to send, so sometimes it was better to hope for no news than to have news.
Qiu Yuling changed the subject and asked her whether she was always at the school or had her own internship place.
"Wherever I can find an internship, I'll just stay in school and wait for the unified assignment. Anywhere will do."
"Me too, anywhere is fine."
The situation is stronger than people, so what's the point of using a bicycle?
Both of them had a simple meal today. Besides, there weren't many dishes available at school in the winter. They were either pickled vegetables or stews with cabbage stalks scattered in a pot. It was called a meat stew, but there was no meat at all.
She also saved that money and just bought pickles, and would wait until she had pure meat dishes.
