Chapter 73: Newly sent educated youth to the countryside?

If space could teleport her to any place as she wished, then she could go freely to not only the county town but also the capital city, which would be much more convenient.

Xia Juanjuan thought to herself, put on her clothes quickly, and planned to try it on immediately.

Since it was her first time, she didn't dare to try somewhere too far away, so she closed her eyes, silently said "in the yard, in the yard" in her heart, and then left the space.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself still in the room, feeling disappointed.

As expected, the last time Li Zhan broke in and teleported to Li Zhan's side, was it just a spatial disorder?

But then her eyes widened, because she seemed to remember that when she entered the space, she was still relatively far away from the door, but at this moment, the position where she was standing was obviously much closer to the door!

Xia Juanjuan was delighted. This time she retreated directly to the wall farthest from the door and stood still. She entered the space again, still silently repeating "yard" several times in her heart, and then came out.

This time it was much more obvious than last time. The place where she came out was basically the door.

But unfortunately, I still couldn't get into the yard.

But Xia Juanjuan was still in a good mood.

After all, it is a new function of the space, and it seems to be controlled by her thoughts. I guess it will take a lot of practice to be able to control it as she wishes.

Now that she can use the teleportation function at will, why would she still need a bicycle?

Ahem... No, I still need a bike. I can't just appear out of nowhere all the time. If someone finds me, I'm done.

Xia Juanjuan thought about it while trying a few more times, but the best she could do was get herself out the door, and there was no further progress.

Fortunately, she had unlocked the door in advance, otherwise she would have to wake up Li Wen and the others to open the door for her, which would have been difficult to explain.

She was not in a hurry to finish practicing immediately, so she went to sleep.

Early the next morning, just when I was thinking about going to Xia Village to deliver the specialties I bought from Beijing to Xia Shuangshan and Lin Yuru, Lin Yuru came first and brought a bag of fried peanuts for the three little guys.

Among the grains distributed after the summer harvest, each family was given some peanuts, mainly for extracting oil.

Naturally, the peanuts that the Xia family got did not fall into Lin Yuru's hands. She found them secretly in the peanut field at night after the autumn harvest. She was reluctant to eat them or press oil from them, so she fried them and brought them here.

Xia Juanjuan knew that this thing was rare and was given by Lin Yuru with her heart, so she accepted it without any hesitation.

Lin Yuru asked worriedly, "Is Lizhan okay? That day we heard that the army's car rushed to pick you up, and your father and I were almost worried to death. Your father even went to the county army contact point to inquire several times, but there was no definite news. Fortunately, you came back a few days later..."

Xia Juanjuan nodded and said, "Li Zhan is fine, he just got hurt a little, not seriously. Isn't he going on another mission? He also said he would come back for the New Year!"

Having said that, Xia Juanjuan still felt somewhat worried, not knowing whether he was being stubborn or not.

However, there was no need to explain too much to Lin Yuru. Being unable to help was one thing, but it would only make them worry.

Lin Yuru breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Can he really come back for the New Year? I secretly inquired about it. Since Lizhan went out to serve in the army, he only came back for the New Year for two or three years when his father was still alive. After that, he was always on missions and spent the whole time away from home! Alas! It's really pitiful to think about him going through life and death alone outside."

When Xia Juanjuan heard this, she felt uncomfortable for some reason.

The Chinese New Year is all about family reunion. Lizhan looked unshaven and dressed like a rough man, but he was only 24 years old and had been in the army for nine years, which meant that he had been spending the Chinese New Year alone since he was 17 or 18 years old.

I was just a big boy then...

"Yes. He is coming back this year. We will spend the New Year together as a family."

Lin Yuru smiled and said, "Oh! That's right! We will definitely have a good New Year this year!"

Xia Juanjuan changed the subject in a somewhat tactful manner and handed Lin Yuru a package containing peanut nougat, donkey rolls, pea-yellow candy snacks, and a small can of Liubiju pickles.

"I brought this back from Beijing. Take it back and show it to my father."

Lin Yuru opened it and took a look, then declined, "Your father and I are not children anymore. We don't like to eat these candies! Leave them for the three little brats!"

In the end, I only took two or three of each snack, just to try them out. I did accept the pickles.

Lin Yuru looked at the room where Liu Lan lived and said softly, "Give some of these things brought back from Beijing to your mother-in-law, so that she won't go out and talk nonsense again."

Xia Juanjuan felt that this was for a reason and asked, "Did she go out and spread rumors?"

"It wasn't her who said that. It was your second sister-in-law Wang Guixiang who kept complaining about you being disobedient to your mother-in-law. She even built a fence in the yard, as if you had no intention of ever having anything to do with her again. She left your mother-in-law and sister-in-law to their second wife, and she also said that you instigated Li Zhan to be disobedient as well. This time when they sent people to pick up the family to Beijing, they didn't pick up your mother, Liu Lan, but took your daughter-in-law instead. It's as if you were bewitched by a vixen... and so on. It was so ugly!"

Xia Juanjuan sneered.

As expected of Liu Lan, she certainly couldn't say such insulting words, she had to act aggrieved and pitiful.

And Wang Guixiang, who is brainless, sarcastic and takes advantage of others, is naturally the most useful talker!

"They don't need to do that! They framed me last time and almost put me in jail. They made up all those dirty things about me. I'd rather feed them to the dogs than give them to them!"

Lin Yuru hesitated for a moment. She wanted to persuade Xia Juanjuan not to be so head-on. But then she thought that she had been tolerating Li Cuihua and her two sisters-in-law all these years. As a result, when she took a step back, they took a step forward and bullied her even more. In the end, not only did she suffer, but even the daughter of the family was bullied. She had no place to stand in the Xia family!

Therefore, I swallowed the words that were about to come to my mouth.

"You don't have to deal with Liu Lan and Wang Guixiang, but you have to be careful to prevent them from setting you up."

Xia Juanjuan was a little surprised. In the past, Lin Yuru would have definitely advised her to respect her parents-in-law and build good relationships with her sisters-in-law, but today she didn't say anything.

It seems that the matter of dividing the family and severing the relationship has made Lin Yuru somewhat tougher.

"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

After seeing Lin Yuru off, Xia Juanjuan went out with a basket and went to the commune first.

Secretary Zhao was sorting out some information. When he saw Xia Juanjuan come in, he asked with a smile, "Li Zhan's wife? You look like this. Is Li Zhan okay?"

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Thank you for your concern, Secretary. By the way, I brought back some specialties from Beijing. I'll bring them here for everyone to taste."

Secretary Zhao wanted to decline, but Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "This is not just for you, Secretary Zhao. I'm giving it to the commune. But I can't give it to every household, so I'll put it here in the commune. Whoever is lucky enough to get it can have a taste. First come, first served. This shouldn't violate discipline, right?"

Secretary Zhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are a very sensible girl. Okay, then stay. I thank you on behalf of everyone!"

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "It's my duty. There's nothing to thank me for!"

She unconsciously glanced at Secretary Zhao's desk, but saw a familiar name, Fu Qingye, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?
