As the sun sets and fiery red clouds hang in the west, adults and children who have worked all day walk home.
The women were in a hurry to get home and cook, while the men walked and chatted in small groups.
When Yun Ningyan returned to the educated youth settlement, she heard from the others that a new person was coming to the countryside today. The others didn't look too happy. They were living in a comfortable place, and it was finally not crowded anymore. Why was a new person coming? They didn't even know if it was a man or a woman.
As it was getting dark, the captain returned with one other person.
His expression was a little unpleasant. The farm work was almost finished, so why did this person come to the countryside at this time and even give her forty catties of grain? He was really losing out big time.
Yun Ningyan and Lin Mengmeng stood at the door, looking at the person who came in. Lin Mengmeng exclaimed, "Ningning, how come it's this woman!"
Yun Ningyan smiled. She knew this woman wouldn't give up easily after meeting her that day, and she came really fast!
The brigade leader introduced, "This is Meng Zhenzhen, a newly arrived educated youth."
After saying that, the captain left.
The older educated youth sized her up, but Meng Zhenzhen didn't seem embarrassed. She smiled and took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket, giving two to each of them.
When it was Yun Ningyan and Lin Mengmeng's turn to be assigned, she said with a smile, "We two are really destined to meet. I didn't expect you to be an educated youth as well. I thought you were a member of this brigade!"
Yun Ningyan ignored the candy, instead scanning the girl's face with a cold smile. "Are we that close? Don't try to get close to me! Take your hands off me!"
Meng Zhenzhen's hand was still on Yun Ningyan's arm, as if they were very familiar with each other.
Meng Zhenzhen was startled by her cold gaze. She quickly lowered her arm, but then felt something was wrong. She was giving her candy, so why should she be afraid of her?
"Fine, I won't eat it then. My good intentions have been wasted."
After she finished speaking, she wiggled her hips and walked away.
Lin Mengmeng stared in astonishment at the swaying hips. "Who is she swaying for, Comrade Huo...?"
After she finished speaking, she realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly covered her mouth, "Ningning, I didn't mean that..."
Zhang Qiang, unable to bear watching any longer, called out, "Mengmeng, come back and cook! I'm starving!"
Lin Mengmeng snapped, "You're the hungriest one! You're starving!"
Zhang Qiang touched his nose, said nothing, and squatted down by the stove to tend the fire.
Yun Ningyan had already prepared the meal. She had been coming back early these past few days to cook in her space. She had only ever used this big pot to boil water, never to cook any food!
When Huo Junshan arrived, she was already sitting at the small table waiting.
His first words after sitting down were, "Yanyan, we agreed on 500 yuan for the house, shall we buy it or not?"
Yun Ningyan nodded. "Of course we should buy it. After buying it, we'll need to fix it up, which will take a long time! After we finish eating, we'll go get the money from the brigade leader. Tomorrow we'll go check on the house. I reckon the damaged parts won't be cleaned up and will need to be repaired properly."
After Yun Ningyan finished speaking, she said irritably, "Your classmate is here! She's been assigned to our brigade."
Huo Junshan was a little confused. "What classmate?"
Yun Ningyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "That Meng Zhenzhen I met in the county town that day has come to our brigade to work in the countryside. Be careful in the future, don't lose your innocence. If you lose your innocence, I won't want you anymore."
Huo Junshan coughed a few times, almost choking on his food. Yan Yan was still so blunt. He was a grown man, yet he was afraid of losing his innocence.
Clouds and mist...
Why are you so excited? Do you want to see your old classmate?
Huo Junshan waved his hands repeatedly. He grabbed Yun Ningyan's hand, looked into her eyes, and said, "Yanyan, none of what you said exists. I only like you and only want to marry you. Other people and things have nothing to do with me."
Yun Ningyan smiled, "That's more like it."
After they finished eating, the two went to the brigade leader's house together.
Yun Ningyan deftly took out five hundred yuan from her pocket and handed it to the brigade leader. The brigade leader glared at Huo Junshan, took the money, and gave her the land deed for the house, saying, "This house will be yours from now on."
Yun Ningyan looked down and saw it was just a piece of paper. She put the land deed away, thanked the brigade leader, and then the two of them returned to the educated youth settlement.
"Huo Junshan, let's go take a look at the house tomorrow. You can tell us how to renovate it and replace everything. This will be our home from now on. If we have the chance to go back to the city, this house will be our place to stay."
As Huo Junshan listened to the little girl talk about their future, the corners of his mouth widened, and he was very excited. He would go and see her tomorrow to figure out how to fix it and have Yang Dasheng find some cement and glass to install in the house.
Yun Ningyan returned to the room and picked up two sets of high school textbooks from the small table. "Take this set. Start studying after you're done with this busy period. Also, tell your brothers to prepare well. Maybe the college entrance examination will be reinstated in a few years, and we can all go to university together then."
Huo Junshan nodded.
the next day.
Yun Ningyan cut two centimeters of pig feed in the morning, and then secretly went to the commune in the afternoon. That's the advantage of cutting pig feed: you can go to the commune anytime you want.
After all, the place where she cuts pig feed is not fixed, and nobody knows where she cuts it.
The captain turned a blind eye to her and didn't really care about her. Even if he saw her slacking off, he wouldn't say anything.
Yang Dasheng has been wandering around the black market for quite some time now, searching for Yun Ningyan.
He made three hundred yuan in one go last time, and he was tempted to do another big deal. But he hadn't seen Yun Ningyan come yet, and he was getting anxious and frustrated.
Yun Ningyan found a secluded spot to change into her previous gear, put on a mask, and carried the items she had smuggled out of the space before heading to the black market.
She had just entered when Yang Dasheng caught her red-handed.
Yang Dasheng was very excited: "Brother, do you have any stock this time?"
Yun Ningyan nodded, and the two went to a secluded place. Yun Ningyan pinched her throat and made her voice sound like a man's, "How much do you want?"
Yang Dasheng calculated his money and Huo Ge's money: "I need five thousand catties of flour and two thousand catties of rice. Do you have that much?"
Yun Ningyan hadn't expected him to have such a big appetite. She nodded, "Sure, do you have that much money? If not, you can use jewelry, antiques, or calligraphy and paintings. I quite like collecting those things."
Yang Dasheng was overjoyed. He hadn't expected this person to be a fool. Who would dare to take these things now? Yet she dared to offer them as payment for the goods. He nodded in agreement.
Yun Ningyan sighed again. Huo Junshan's money was all with her, and he was probably going to come to her for more money. She stopped Yang Dasheng and said, "I'll go back and get the goods first. We'll meet here tomorrow. You go back and raise the money."
She carried her basket and headed back. First, she went to the meat processing plant, took out a lot of meat from her spatial storage, and also took out an old hen.
Carrying a basket on his back, he walked towards the brigade.
We didn't run into Yang Dasheng on the way.
Not long after, Huo Junshan came back to get the money. "Yanyan, we've got some business. Give me the money. I might have to go out for a couple of days."
