"Stop interrupting me and bring it over!"
"Anyway, without my permission, you are not allowed to touch this dress!"
After giving the reminder, Xu Jiashu returned to his room with the clothes and folded the vest neatly and placed it next to the pillow.
This dress won’t stink!
He had just worn this clothes when he carried Comrade Xiao Jiang back, and the clothes were full of her fragrance, so he was reluctant to wash it off!
——
With Zhou Qingqing's help, the blisters on Jiang Jingyu's feet were all removed.
Zhou Qingqing was prone to tear incontinence, and she started crying when she saw the pustules on Jiang Jingyu's feet.
"It must have been painful to have so many blisters. I wish you had caught the train that day. When we were coming here, we happened to meet a kind old man from the village who brought us back on his donkey cart."
Jiang Jingyu handed Zhou Qingqing a handkerchief: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Jiang Jingyu had taken pain-blocking pills before picking the blisters. Now the blisters on her feet only look scary, but they don't hurt at all.
Her trip up the mountain was not in vain, as she met Xu Jiashu by chance.
This group of female educated youth were assigned two rooms and could choose which room to live in.
The two people next door had similar interests and had become familiar with each other on the train. They were inseparable, like real sisters who had met too late. After arriving at the Youth League Institute, they formed a group and moved into the same room.
Zhou Qingqing, who was left alone, naturally lived with Jiang Jingyu.
She didn't get along with those two people, so this arrangement was exactly what she wanted.
Although the room was not big, it was very clean, and Jiang Jingyu and Zhou Qingqing got along very well.
This brought a little comfort to the two people who were far away from home.
After Zhou Qingqing applied the medicine to Jiang Jingyu, she put the ointment back into the cloth bag.
"By the way, you still don't know the names of the two educated youth next door, right? The one in blue is Li Yanqiu, and the other one is Zhao Yuzhen."
After Zhou Qingqing put the cloth bag away, she walked over mysteriously.
"From what I've observed, that Li Yanqiu seems to be interested in our captain!"
Jiang Jingyu raised her eyebrows. No wonder she was hostile to her. It turned out that she was jealous of her lover protecting her.
"Yeah, I understand."
Jiang Jingyu didn't have a very good impression of Captain Chen Jianghe, and she didn't plan to have a close relationship with him in the future. Since Li Yanqiu liked him, she would just stay away from him in the future.
Zhou Qingqing didn't have a very good impression of Li Yanqiu and Zhao Yuzhen. After mentioning their names to Jiang Jingyu, she never mentioned them again.
"Xiao Jiang, I heard from the team leader that the village chief will assign us tasks to earn work points tomorrow. Since your foot is injured and you can't move, you should not go yet. I don't eat much, so the work points you earn should be enough for the two of us to eat."
Zhou Qingqing said as she took out some snacks from her cloth bag.
"You've been traveling all day and haven't eaten yet, right? Have some snacks first. The villagers gave me some sweet potatoes yesterday. I'll go cook them first."
The villagers of Taohua Village were very welcoming. Knowing that these educated youth had just arrived and there was nothing to eat at the educated youth center, they were afraid that they would go hungry and quickly sent them some sweet potatoes.
These sweet potatoes were all grown by themselves. The good ones were sold in the town, and the less-good ones were kept for themselves.
Zhou Qingqing brought some money with her when she left home. She originally wanted to use the money for emergency and buy some food from the villagers, but the villagers usually used work points to exchange for food in the town and were reluctant to accept real money.
Zhou Qingqing knew their concerns, so she had to put the money away, planning to wait for the village chief to assign them tasks and then use the work points she earned to exchange for some food.
The next day.
Jiang Jingyu was not used to sleeping on a too hard bed, so she didn't sleep much that night and got up at dawn.
As soon as she finished washing up, she heard Chen Jianghe shouting in the yard.
"Comrades, wake up! We're going to the fields soon and the village chief will assign us tasks. We'll start earning work points today!"
After he finished speaking, he walked to the gongs and drums in the yard and knocked them twice, which made people's heads buzz.
Jiang Jingyu scratched his ears unhappily, then went to the bed and called Zhou Qingqing to get up.
"Qingqing, it's time to get up."
Zhou Qingqing turned over drowsily: "Well, let me sleep a little longer."
Jiang Jingyu leaned over and whispered in her ear: "If you don't pay up your work points soon, others will earn them all."
Zhou Qingqing had been talking about earning work points since last night, even mumbling about it in her dreams. Now when she heard the word "work points", she sat up reflexively!
“Ouch!”
Jiang Jingyu failed to dodge in time and was hit on the head by her.
Zhou Qingqing, who was hit on the head, didn't feel much pain. She looked at Jiang Jingyu who was covering her forehead with a nervous look on her face.
"Xiao Jiang, are you okay? Oh, it's all my fault for jumping too hard. Where did you hit? Let me take a look!"
Seeing her nervous look, Jiang Jingyu burst out laughing.
"It's okay. Look how nervous you are. Hurry up and get up. We have to go to the fields to work."
Zhou Qingqing quickly changed her clothes. "Xiao Jiang, why are you up so early today? Did I squeeze you? Your foot is still injured. Go lie down on the bed!"
Zhou Qingqing said as she was about to help Jiang Jingyu to bed to rest.
They live in a dormitory, and if one person takes up more space, the other person will have to sleep in a smaller space.
Zhou Qingqing knew that her sleeping posture was not very honest, and looked at Jiang Jingyu with an apologetic look.
Jiang Jingyu held her hand and said, "It's okay. I'm fine now. Look, I can walk fine now."
Jiang Jingyu was afraid that Zhou Qingqing would be worried, so she took a few steps in front of her.
Zhou Qingqing stared at her feet, and when she saw that she was walking normally, she asked suspiciously, "Is it healed so quickly?"
She remembered that her medicine wasn't that effective?
"Go wash up quickly, and then we'll go to the fields and wait for the village chief."
At Jiang Jingyu's urging, Zhou Qingqing quickly washed up.
"It's going to be very hot in the sun, we have to wear hats!"
Zhou Qingqing said as she rummaged through the drawers and found a hat to put on, and found that Jiang Jingyu was still standing there.
"Xiao Jiang, why don't you find a hat to wear?"
"I came here in a hurry and forgot to bring it with me. I'll just leave it like this. I'll buy one in town when I have time."
Zhou Qingqing didn't have any extra hats to lend to Jiang Jingyu, so she could only do this for now. They planned to go to the town to buy one as soon as possible tomorrow if they had time.
This group of educated youth finally met in the yard. Because Chen Jianghe was there, Li Yanqiu dressed up specially and wore brand new clothes and shoes.
It looked as if he was going to the market instead of working in the fields.
"Hey, Xiao Jiang, why aren't you wearing a hat? The sun's scorching hot at noon, and it's hurting my face!"
Zhou Jie and his friends were all wearing hats, and when they saw that Jiang Jingyu was not wearing one, they asked her.
"I forgot to bring it when I came here. I'll go to town and buy one when I have time."
Jiang Jingyu explained that she didn't care too much about not having a hat to wear. Anyway, no matter how strong the sun was, she would not get sunburned or tanned.
Jiang Jingyu wanted to expose this matter, but someone was unwilling to do so.
"Do either of you have a spare hat? Lend it to Comrade Xiao Jiang!"
