Chapter 153: Returning to the city with twists and turns

Years later, another group of educated youth came to Yaoshui Village.

The first group of educated youth who came to Yaoshui Village had been there for two years.

Two years had worn off the educated youth's initial enthusiasm.

Everyone wanted to return to the city, but there were only two quotas allocated to Yaoshui Village each year.

The educated youth began to move around again.

I don't know who heard that there were no quotas for some teachers to return to the city this time.

So the first group of educated youths left Wu Li, Sun Xiaoqin, Li Mei, Yang Zhixiong, and Jiang Haoran.

Li Mei wrote a letter to her family, hoping that they could send her some money so that she could make arrangements and get a quota to return to the city.

Unexpectedly, her family wrote a letter hoping that she would make some extra money.

Li Mei had no other choice but to take out the money she had saved with great difficulty and go to the village chief's wife.

The village chief's wife said that she would tell the village chief about this matter and did not take his money.

The educated youth all came to the village chief for help, and the village chief simply told his wife not to accept any

benefits. Now every household in Yaoshui Village lives a good life. The village chief's wife works in a biscuit factory and has a salary. She does not want to be caught by others for taking this little money.

Moreover, every educated youth has come to her and accepted their money. It is impossible to let all the educated youth return to the city. Simply do not accept any of them and let them behave well during this period.

In this case, it depends on who God favors.

When the commune came to inspect, the educated youths who were working ran to the toilet halfway through their work.

Wu Li, Sun Xiaoqin, and Li Mei supported each other and returned to the field.

After a few strokes, Wu Li couldn't stand it anymore and ran away.

The other educated youths did the same.

Everyone guessed if there was something wrong with the diet.

Li Mei was in charge of cooking today, so everyone looked at her.

Li Mei said, "Why are you looking at me? I have the same symptoms as you, and I want to know why."

Sun Xiaoqin said, "Wu Li and I can testify for Li Mei, she also has diarrhea."

The educated youths had diarrhea all the time, which was not a big deal, so the village chief went to the health room to ask a doctor to come and take a look.

The doctor picked out a few dried mushrooms they picked last year and said that it was this kind of mushroom that caused everyone's diarrhea.

Each person was prescribed medicine, and they should be fine after taking it for two days.

The mushrooms were picked and dried together, and it was no longer clear who picked them, and Li Mei's suspicion was cleared.

The educated youth in the educated youth institute could not work in the fields for the time being, so Jiang Haoran had the opportunity to show his talents.

However, when the investigators learned that the educated youth had mistakenly eaten poisonous mushrooms, they did not look at Jiang Haoran differently.

On the contrary, Li Mei, while others were resting, was the only one who insisted on working in the fields even if she had to go to the toilet ten times a day, which left a good impression on the investigators.

The last ones to return to the city were Li Mei and Wu Li.

When Li Mei heard the news, she buried her head in the quilt and burst into tears.

She could finally leave this place.

She packed her luggage and was just waiting for the time to come to leave.

In the past few days, Li Mei paid special attention and cooked all her meals by herself, fearing that something unexpected would happen again.

However, Li Mei did not cover herself with a blanket when she went to bed, and did not close the window properly, so she had a high fever when she woke up in the morning.

With a body temperature of 40℃, it was too late to delay, so Sun Xiaoqin advised her to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Li Mei did not dare to be careless, so she got up and took the money from her suitcase to go to the hospital, but she could not find the money.

"Who of you touched my suitcase?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Why is my money gone?"

Sun Xiaoqin said, "Maybe you were packing and forgot where you put it. Don't delay. Lend me some money to go to the hospital."

Li Mei said, "Xiaoqin, lend me some money. I'll return it to you when I find it."

Sun Xiaoqin said, "I've spent all my money."

The others left the room without waiting for Li Mei to speak.

Li Mei had no choice but to drag her weak body to the dormitory of the male educated youth to borrow money.

Yang Zhixiong said, "If you are willing to give me the quota to return to the city, I will lend you money."

"You wish!" Li Mei left angrily and went to find the village chief.

Coincidentally, the village chief and his wife went to a relative's house for a wedding banquet today and were not at home.

Finally, Li Mei found the school and borrowed some money from Han Fei to go to the hospital. After

finally reaching the hospital in the town, she took some antipyretic medicine. In case the fever did not subside tomorrow, Li Mei asked the doctor to prescribe two more antipyretic medicines for backup.

After returning, Li Mei searched her suitcase again, but still could not find the money.

Without money, how could she buy a ticket? She could only go to Captain Zhou.

There were many villagers who came with Captain Zhou. When they arrived at the Youth Institute, Captain Zhou asked Li Mei where she had put the money before.

Li Mei opened her suitcase and pointed to a small cloth bag and said, "My money is here."

Captain Zhou took the cloth bag and opened it, and asked, "How much money is in the bag?"

"22.50 yuan."

Captain Zhou reached out and took out a few banknotes from the cloth bag and said, "Count, how much is missing?"

Li Mei saw Captain Zhou take out money from the cloth bag, and a surprised expression appeared on her face. She took the money and counted it. The amount was just right.

Captain Zhou also saw that Li Mei counted it just right, and blamed her, "You are leaving soon, can you be quiet?"

The villagers nearby also said that Li Mei was looking for trouble.

Li Mei wondered if she was too hot and confused.

...

In the evening, Li Mei touched her head and found that it was no longer hot, so she felt relieved and went to sleep.

The next morning, Li Mei was woken up by someone who pushed her in a daze: "Li Mei, what do you mean? You have a high fever and you still want to rely on others to support your back!"

Li Mei sat up slowly and asked, "Wu Li, what's wrong?"

Wu Li said angrily: "You still have the nerve to ask? You kicked the quilt when you were sleeping, why did you pull my quilt? It made me have a fever!"

Li Mei was not feeling well now. She touched her head and felt it was hot.

Why did she have a fever again?

Li Mei got off the kang and found the antipyretic medicine she bought yesterday and was about to take it. Wu Li grabbed it and said: "Is this antipyretic medicine?"

Li Mei tried to take the antipyretic medicine back, but Wu Li dodged her and said: "You made me have a fever, so you must be responsible." Wu Li took a pill of antipyretic medicine.

It had already been eaten, and there was nothing to be done. Li Mei said, "Give me the rest."

Wu Li refused: "Who knows if eating one pill will reduce the fever? I'll keep this one for future use."

Li Mei said angrily, "What should I do? I'm still having a fever."

"Go buy some more yourself."

"I'm exhausted now. Give it to me first. I'll buy more after I take the medicine. I won't delay you."

Wu Li blamed Li Mei for causing her fever and refused to give it to her. It was not until Sun Xiaoqin came in to talk that Wu Li returned the fever-reducing medicine to Li Mei.

Sun Xiaoqin saw that Li Mei was still having a fever and said she would buy medicine for her. Li Mei gave her the money.

After buying the medicine, Sun Xiaoqin took on the responsibility of taking care of both of them.

The village chief came to visit the two and praised Sun Xiaoqin for her attentive care of them.

However, the two did not get better. Not only did they have a recurring high fever, but they also had diarrhea. But

the mushrooms had been thrown away long ago, and everyone was eating from the same pot. Everyone else was fine, but they had diarrhea.

There was no choice, so the two had to go to the hospital. The doctor said that they had a high fever and diarrhea caused by catching a cold.

Wu Li pointed at Li Mei angrily: "It's all your fault. You never sleep well. You always pull my quilt in the middle of the night."

Li Mei was also anxious: "I didn't mean to do that. I was cold at night too, so I covered myself with the quilt if I could get it."

Wu Li went back and hugged her quilt and moved to another position, not leaning on Li Mei.

Sun Xiaoqin said: "You two have been sleeping badly recently. I have covered you with blankets many times at night. If we were separated, I would have to run back and forth to take care of you." Wu

Li said: "As long as no one pulls my blanket at night, I will be fine soon."
