Chapter 47 Visiting Parents



Xu Nuannuan could actually do it herself, so she smiled and said, "No, I can carry it myself, don't bother your brother."

"Then let me help you." She stretched out her thin arms. "Don't look at me because I'm skinny. I don't have any flesh on my body, but I'm very strong. Oh, I mean, I have a lot of strength."

Xu Nuannuan couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking about how cute Jiang's mother was. She wondered if their whole family was full of such funny people.

But when she thought of Jiang Ye's face, which was as cold as ice, she began to deny her own idea.

Or maybe Jiang Ye is a reserved type, cold on the surface but lively on the inside.

"Just think of it as following me for a stroll."

"Okay."

Shen Mengan saw Jiang Ting wandering around the street in a lazy manner, but didn't say anything.

What rules are there with a madman?

Anyway, if they don't earn work points, they will be given less food, and it's their own business if they go hungry.

When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, each educated youth received 40 kilograms of sorghum and 60 kilograms of corn cobs. They had to thresh the cobs themselves after returning, and the remaining 10 kilograms of wheat were gone.

All these weighed a total of 110 kilograms. There were three bags. Jiang Ting took the 60-kilogram one first, Xu Nuannuan put the 40-kilogram one on her shoulder, and Xiaomai just carried it directly.

Li Miao was not as strong as them and could not carry so much food. Xu Nuannuan estimated that she could not even carry 60 kilograms of food, so she helped her carry one 60-kilogram bag and she carried the remaining two by herself.

The weakest person here was Yu Qingqing. She couldn't carry away so much food. Fu Yunqi happened to be next to her, so she shamelessly said to Fu Yunqi, "Aren't you just too busy to meddle in other people's business? Please help me transport this food back to the educated youth camp."

Fu Yunqi immediately waved his finger in rejection: "First, I didn't eat too much today, I'm still a little hungry." He subconsciously touched his stomach: "Second, I never meddle in the affairs of people like you, unless I eat shit."

Chen Dalu heard this and came over: "Hey, Old Fu, how many times have I told you to stop talking about 'shit' all the time? Don't you think it stinks?"

"Get lost."

Fu Yunqi carried his own food and left the brigade headquarters directly, and Chen Dalu followed him.

Yu Qingqing had no choice but to go to Wu Zhiguo again, but Wu Zhiguo didn't want to work for nothing this time.

"Yu Zhiqing, I've helped you many times. I didn't have enough to eat at noon, and you still want me to do so much work. I can't handle it."

"Me, you help me carry it over, and I'll give you some of my food."

"Okay then, I'll help you."

The two men discussed the remuneration in detail, and only when Wu Zhiguo was satisfied did he agree to help Yu Qingqing transport the food.

The educated youth point was on the edge of the village, and the brigade headquarters was in the center of the village. The two places were nearly two miles apart. Except for Xu Nuannuan, the educated youth felt very tired after transporting the food.

Jiang Ting helped Xu Nuannuan put the food away and was reluctant to leave, but she still had to go to the fields to work, so she said goodbye to Xu Nuannuan: "Sister, I have to go to the fields to work, goodbye!"

Xu Nuannuan sent her to the entrance of the educated youth camp: "We also have to go to the fields to work the day after tomorrow. I hope we can work together."

"That's great. By the way, sister, you may not know my name yet. My name is Jiang Ting."

"My name is Xu Nuannuan, can I call you Tingting?"

"Of course, Sister Nuannuan, you have a good rest, I'm leaving now."

"Well, bye!"

When Xu Nuannuan returned to the house, Li Miao was already lying on the kang to rest. Seeing her, he asked, "Nuannuan, aren't you tired? Come on, lie down and rest. You've been on the train for a whole day and night, and then on a bus, a tractor, and an oxcart. This is the first time I've ridden so many vehicles at once, and I also moved grain. I'm so tired."

Xu Nuannuan wanted to go to the cowshed to see her parents, but Li Miao was too tired to follow her.

"Miaomiao, I'm not tired at all. I want to go out for a walk. If you're too tired, you can just rest at the educated youth camp."

Li Miao knew Xu Nuannuan's skills and that her physical strength was definitely not something she could match, so he nodded and said, "Then Nuannuan, you go. I'm really too tired to accompany you."

"It's okay, you can rest."

After Xu Nuannuan finished explaining things to her, she left the educated youth center.

The cowshed was less than 200 meters away from the educated youth site. Following her memories from her previous life, Xu Nuannuan crossed a cornfield and quickly arrived at the cowshed.

The cowshed here consists of only three low and dilapidated houses, with a straw shed next to it. It should be where the brigade raised livestock in the past. Now there is no livestock. The livestock may have been driven to other places to be raised. It can be seen that the simple house is even worse than the one for the livestock.

She originally wanted to take some things out of the space to give to her parents, but she was worried that it would be inconvenient for other people in the cowshed, so she wanted to understand the situation first.

She walked to the door of the first room, leaned against the wall and looked inside. She actually saw her parents. Seeing that there was no one else here, she walked in.

"Dad, Mom."

Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suhuan were both surprised and delighted to see her coming.

"Nuannuan, you're here." Xu Zhenqing was lying on the earthen kang with an injured calf. Fang Suyun hurried over to greet him: "Nuannuan, we thought it would take you a few days to get here, but we didn't expect you to come so soon. We just arrived here yesterday."

"The day you left Anshi, I went to the Youth Corps Office to sign up. Coincidentally, there were some educated youth coming here the next day, so I hurried over."

Xu Nuannuan was afraid that they would worry about the house and other things at home: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I've already told Aunt Chang to help us look after the house. Maybe we'll be able to go back soon."
