Jin Jinxiu put the receipts away, and Qian Mao said, "These receipts, especially the eldest's, need to be exchanged for rice, flour, and cooking oil as soon as possible, because the expiration dates are all close. It took a month for them to arrive here from the south."
Qian Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, then tomorrow you can withdraw the money, and then use these oil coupons and grain coupons to buy some rice and flour. We'll use the boss's allowance to cover the cost first, and then make up the difference to the boss later."
Jin Jinxiu nodded.
Back in her room that night, Qian Duoduo kept thinking about the time she spent reading with her mother. Back then, the book focused on the affairs of the educated youth compound, while the people in the village were only mentioned briefly. Even the stories of Qian Feng and Qian Yu were only described after they returned from serving in the army for many years.
Forget it, there's no use thinking about it so much. Let's just go farm in the space. The farm is completely different now. Thanks to Qian Duoduo's hard work, it has reached level 12 and can grow a lot of vegetables.
But now they have nothing to offer. On the contrary, the chickens on the farm are quite good. The four hens they raised have started laying eggs. So Qian Duoduo focused on planting wheat and rice specifically for raising chickens. Moreover, the wheat can be ground into flour and the rice can be ground into rice, which is a win-win situation.
The planting season on the farm is quite efficient; planting doesn't take long, although harvesting and sowing are frequent. But with vegetables, there's no fear of hunger. Looking at the ever-growing wheat and rice in the warehouse, Qian Duoduo is very happy. With grain, there's no worry about food, and there are also eggs. After the hens lay three batches of eggs, they can be harvested and stored in the warehouse to make chicken. Then, they can raise more chicks, get more eggs, and make chicken, repeating the cycle until there are more and more eggs and chicken—it's wonderful just thinking about it!
Qian Duoduo really hopes that when he reaches level 15, there will be cattle on the farm, so he can eat beef and drink milk. With milk, he will grow taller and fairer, and that will be the best time of his life.
For a better life in the future, Qian Duoduo works very hard on the farm, just like a little bee.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the Qian Cai and Qian Sheng families were already up. They prepared their things and went to the village entrance where they saw Old Man Xu waiting there. They paid the fare and got into the cart. It was getting cold, and fewer people were going out. Only two or three educated youths were going together in the oxcart.
On the oxcart, Jiang Caiqin saw Jin Jinxiu and asked with a smile, "Aunt Qian, what are you going to buy at the commune?"
Jin Jinxiu smiled and said, "Winter is coming soon, so we should prepare some things for the winter."
Jiang Caiqin said with a smile, "The supply and marketing cooperatives don't have everything they need right now."
Jin Jinxiu said with a smile, "We ordinary folks don't know that much, we just like it."
Looking at Jin Jinxiu's enigmatic expression, Jiang Caiqin didn't believe it at all. Everyone knew that the brigade leader's family was rich. How could four children go to school if they weren't? Moreover, Qian Feng was the man she had her eye on, but before they could make any progress, he went to join the army. He would definitely not be back for many years, which dashed her hopes. As for Qian Mao and Qian Rao, they were too young.
Along the way, she chatted with Jin Jinxiu on and off. He Ying watched as Jiang Caiqin flattered Jin Jinxiu, and then noticed that Qian Xiang's eyes were fixed on the female educated youth next to Jiang Caiqin. This female educated youth had also come to Beian Village three or four months ago. She was not very talkative and there was not much contact between her and the village. All that was known about her was that she was very good at working, better than some of the girls in the village. Moreover, judging from her clothes, which were clean and tidy, she was obviously better than Jiang Caiqin.
However, most of these educated youths were proud and arrogant. Even if their sons were interested in them, it would be a waste if the other party didn't reciprocate. She didn't want a troublesome daughter-in-law. It is said that marrying a virtuous wife brings blessings to three generations. If she were a troublemaker, He Ying would not be able to pass this test.
Qian Duoduo, wearing a headscarf, looked around with her big eyes, seemingly having discovered something quite shocking: Qian Xiangge wanted to get married! His eyes were practically glued to Guo, the educated youth from the People's Education Bureau. And the ruthless glint in the old woman's eyes—it was quite frightening—showed she'd also discovered Qian Xiangge's affair. I can't wait to see what happens next!
The book mentions this young educated youth, Xiao Guo, who is a formidable character. Although she has only been in the educated youth compound for a short time, she is already someone no one dares to mess with. She may not be tall, but she has a family tradition of Baguazhang (Eight Trigrams Palm). With one slap, she knocked out the teeth of the female educated youth who was causing trouble, making her famous overnight. Don't be fooled by her quiet demeanor; she is a shrewd and calculating person.
Could it be that Brother Qian Xiang is also a masochist? Hehe, I wonder how many slaps this girl can take!
Jiang Caiqin only tried to curry favor with Xiao Guo because she saw that no one dared to mess with her in the educated youth compound, hoping that Xiao Guo would stand up for her. However, Qian Duoduo knew that she was overthinking things. Jiang Caiqin had once courted death and was beaten by a woman in the village. She instigated Xiao Guo to get revenge for her, but Xiao Guo ended up dealing with her instead. Moreover, her currying favor with Xiao Guo was also to get some benefits from her. But upon reflection, she realized that she hadn't gained anything at all.
Xiao Guo, a former educated youth, whose real name is Guo Ni, may have a soft name, but she is anything but. No one in the educated youth compound dared to mess with her. She was unbeatable in Baguazhang (a martial arts style) against both men and women, and no one dared to associate with her. She didn't care. Later, when Jiang Caiqin took the initiative to approach her, she was still indifferent. However, she later discovered that Jiang Caiqin was always trying to take advantage of her, which was unacceptable. Everything she had was saved up by her family, and she couldn't let an outsider benefit from it.
