Taking Zhang Yuan as an opportunity, he is now familiar with all the boys in the educated youth center. In a short period of time, he is more popular than Xu Manman in the educated youth center, which also makes Xu Manman stunned.
The child is just free and feels like he can let himself go.
Because Chen Ming came too often, in order to prevent being discovered, Xu Manman checked the house inside and out, and put all the things that should not be there into the space.
Now I don’t enter the space during the day, and I cook at the stove outside. I only enter the space when the lights are turned off at night. After washing up and collecting food, I will come out to sleep on the kang.
It can be said that her current life is really very original.
During this period, the educated youth also organized a trip to the commune together. My cousin had agreed to it a day in advance, so when they arrived at the commune, he was already waiting at the intersection.
After signing in as usual and completing the whole process, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. It was winter now and there were not many fresh supplies in the cooperative, so Xu Manman bought some daily necessities, such as matches, kerosene, cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, batteries, soap, toothpaste, etc. She didn't buy any snacks, but she weighed some candy.
The total cost was 6.9 yuan.
At the meat stall, Xu Manman saw frozen meat and fish. It was a rare sight, so she took out a 5-jin meat ticket and asked the chef to chop 5-jin of pork belly. She also bought a grass carp, which weighed a total of 6-jin.
Originally, Xu Manman wanted to buy two fish. After all, she had fish that ran on the ground in her space, but no fish that swam in the water. Although she didn't like eating fish very much, she still missed it a little after not eating it for so long.
But when she mentioned the second fish, she caught a glimpse of Chen Ming's wide eyes and gave up the idea.
Xu Manman got the meat ticket, but Chen Ming was the first to pay.
I had to attend a literacy class in the afternoon and was too lazy to go home to cook, so I just ate at the state-owned restaurant.
Although there were many people, the food was limited and the menu was unremarkable. In the end, Xu Manman ordered sauerkraut pork dumplings, and Chen Ming also ordered scallion pork dumplings. Fearing that it wouldn't be enough, he also added five braised pork buns. Again, the eldest cousin paid.
Xu Manman and Chen Ming shared the dumplings so that they could enjoy both flavors. The taste was no different from what she made herself. However, the braised pork buns amazed her at first bite. In the end, she didn't eat many dumplings but ate 3 buns.
Chen Ming took care of the rest. For her, having such a dining companion was better than having a boyfriend.
After dinner, we went to the post office to send letters and packages. Now my cousin has learned his lesson. This time, in addition to the letters, there are two more packages. Xu Manman also sent 4 packages this time. In addition to the miscellaneous grains, she also sent a cured rabbit to her own home.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to send it to every household, but it’s still acceptable. If there are too many, she won’t be able to explain how she got them.
It has been a long time since I last came. Xu Manman received 5 packages, 2 of which were for her own family and 3 for her cousin.
Chen Ming also showed her one of them, and found that it was sent from her home.
Each package is not particularly large, but when added together they add up to a considerable burden.
In order to rush to the afternoon literacy class, the two hurried back. They were wearing so many clothes that they had difficulty moving. They also had to carry so many things. Halfway through the journey, Xu Manman was exhausted and out of breath.
The older cousin who was carrying more weight next to him remained calm.
Due to limited time, Chen Ming was unable to send Xu Manman back to the educated youth site, so he could only ask Zhang Yuan and Yue Feng to help take the remaining packages.
When Xu Manman returned to the educated youth center, she could hardly lift her arms.
After resting on the kang for a while, she cheered up and went to the literacy class. Fortunately, it was not her class today, so sitting in the back and reading a book was also a rest.
Influenced by Xu Manman, most of the educated youth who went to the commune today went to the scrap collection station to look for books. Everyone gained something. Xu Manman didn't find any treasures this time. She found a few books and some newer newspapers.
Feeling that she had consumed too much energy today, Xu Manman decided to have a good meal.
So at lunchtime, she didn't cook, but just boiled a pot of water and had some snacks to get by.
She closed the door, so no one would come to her room easily, and it would not be surprising if someone really saw her. In the big kitchen, there had been no proper dinner since the beginning of winter, and they just roasted some sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Finally, when it was completely dark and there was no movement outside, Xu Manman slipped into the space.
