Chapter 48 Missed the Bus
Chen Yi only bought what she needed. She had a few hundred dollars in her hand, all left by the original owner.
She just wanted to keep the money for pocket money, and she had no intention of touching He Mingcheng's money.
I bought three towels. The towels at that time were very rough, and the ones she used were soft and absorbent.
But you have to put two outside so that you can keep the score clear.
It’s time to change the toothbrush, at least once every two months. Before, Chen Yi changed it once a month.
There are also all kinds of miscellaneous stuff. If you have tickets, buy them. If you don’t have tickets, forget it.
Finally she bought a basket of things and covered it with a cloth.
I bought this backpack here. No ticket is required. It was brought here by a fellow villager and sold at 50 cents each at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Lin Mei also squeezed out, carrying things on her back, and the basket in her hand was already full.
It’s a rare trip here, so buy more things and you don’t have to come again next time.
However, when she saw that Chen Yi had an extra basket on her back, and it looked full, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Sister-in-law, why did you buy so many things?" She didn't know what to say.
If I buy so much at one time, I probably won’t need to come back for a month.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "Haven't we just moved? We need a lot of things."
In fact, there are indeed many things that are missing at home, but some things cannot be bought without tickets.
She doesn't have a ticket yet, so she has to give up buying it for now.
Even if it was taken out from the space, there was no reasonable explanation to He Mingcheng.
After all, people know her situation and can't get the money out even if they want to.
Lin Mei didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them went back together.
The tractor was already half full of people, and everyone wanted to get home quickly.
But you have to find time to go home, otherwise some people will miss the bus.
The tractor has a set time and will leave after the time is up, so there is no doubt that you will not be able to get on the tractor.
But if you leave before the appointed time, that won’t do.
Chen Yi put the backpack aside and then stood up to move around.
She would have to squat when the car started moving, and she couldn't stand squatting all the time.
After a while, the car was full of people.
"Are you all back? Let's go!" the driver shouted, put on his gloves and prepared to drive.
A young wife shouted, "Yang Hui hasn't come back yet."
"Why bother with her? It's time to go back and cook for the kids!"
"That's right, hurry up and go!"
The others started asking the driver to drive. It was already ten o'clock, and it would be past eleven when they got home, which was the time to cook.
Besides, Yang Hui offended many people in the past, and no one was willing to wait.
Except for the young wife who spoke at the beginning, everyone else said they wouldn't wait for anyone.
The young wife didn't dare to say anything more, she just said it casually.
I wouldn't have said it if I'd known earlier...
After hearing this, the driver had no choice but to drive.
After all, the designated time is here, and he doesn't mind if others are willing to wait.
If you don’t want to wait, just drive home and eat.
After the car started away, Yang Hui ran over with bags in her hands, only to find that the car was gone.
She threw all her things on the ground and yelled, "You conscienceless thing, can't you wait a little longer! I *********!" (The author put asterisks by hand)
Chen Yi was so happy when she saw that Yang Hui missed the bus.
It’s such a long distance, it will probably take more than two hours to reach the destination.
When we arrived at the gate of the family compound, everyone went back to their homes.
Of course after buying things, I have to go home and cook, otherwise the children will be hungry.
Chen Yi returned home, sorted out her things first, and then put away what needed to be put in the boxes.
He Mingcheng's towel was already very old, so it was thrown away and kept for him to use to wipe his feet or as a rag.
It would be a pity to throw it away, so it is better to save it at this time.
Having experienced the apocalypse for a month, Chen Yi also realized the importance of frugality.
Although she has more stuff than she can use up, she tries to save wherever possible.
Otherwise, if you develop a habit of wasting things in front of others, you will be criticized.
After packing up her things, she went into the space and ate a bowl of hot meat soup noodles.
I've had a stomach full of cold air today, so it's better to eat something hot.
After sweating all over, she went to take a shower.
It was already afternoon when I finished all this, just the right time to take a nap.
I have to say, her life is very easy now.
All I do every day is sleep and eat.
If you want to make clothes, make clothes. If you want to do anything, do it.
After a few days, Chen Yi felt too bored and went out for a walk.
The family compound is not big, with only this one building.
But not far away, about two hundred meters away, there are two rows of houses, with approximately a dozen rooms.
There is also a separate small courtyard, which is the primary school here.
Those who went to school were all from the Red Star Brigade, as well as children from the staff quarters.
Chen Yi walked over there and watched for a while. The child went to school just like that, running in the yard like a free bird.
Because the snow was very slippery, several people fell down, but they still smiled happily, stood up and continued running.
She couldn't help but smile, thinking these kids were really interesting.
I thought about how I was like this when I was a child. I played with so many other kids in an orphanage and acted like a little fool every day.
At this time, Zhang Yu came out of the classroom, saw her not far away, and walked over.
"Chen Yi? Why are you here?"
Chen Yi saw that it was her and smiled and said, "I was bored staying in the room, so I came out to take a look. Are you a teacher here?"
I had never heard of them talking to each other before.
Zhang Yu nodded. "Yes, I teach first grade. I only graduated from elementary school, so I can't teach higher grades."
She has been a teacher here for two years. She already understands the basics of first grade and is quite adept at teaching.
Chen Yi asked her again what the two rows of houses over there were used for.
"Oh, over there." Zhang Yu looked over and said, "That's the cafeteria, and there are some leadership offices. The other one is where the educated youth live. There are also educated youth teachers in our school."
The educated youth who went to the countryside to support construction all work here. They don’t have to farm, but the work of cutting wood and planting trees is not easy either.
Unlike those who went to the countryside to work, they were the first group to go to the countryside, and they were all college graduates majoring in civil engineering and forestry.
What’s more, they receive wages, not work points.
Normally they don’t interact with people in the family compound. After all, what do some family members know?
They are all college students and have their own pride.
Chen Yi finally understood. No wonder she had never seen them before. It turned out that they were disdainful of interacting with their families.
In fact, although she was not an educated youth who received a salary, she did not feel any sense of superiority.
Oh, the original owner was not a college student, he just graduated from high school.
But Chen Yi didn't think they had anything to be proud of, and probably didn't want to get into trivial matters.
The two chatted for a while, and then Zhang Yu went back to class.
Chen Yi didn't stay long and turned back. It was too cold outside and it was a bit unbearable to stay out for too long.
The fifth update is finished. Please subscribe to Chapter 44 if you haven't done so. It is very important to me. Thank you all.
