The other educated youth were still crowded on the ox cart at this time. The ox cart was not big to begin with, and with six more educated youth on board, it became even more crowded.
Aunt Zhang was also there this time. She was the matchmaker from all over the place.
She brought Xu Luyao, Hu Yue and Guan Xin together to promote herself. She was a great matchmaker and every marriage she had was a happy one.
"Then it's hard for you to work in the countryside, you could use someone to rely on," Aunt Zhang said, holding Xu Luyao's hand. "You look so pretty when you're little. Trust me, I'll definitely find you a good one."
Last time, she had her eye on Zhou Zhiqing, and she thought she could introduce him to someone she thought was good, and she could get a reward for her hard work. Unexpectedly, within a few days, she heard that he was already dating someone else. This time, she finally found someone good, and she couldn't let him get away again.
Xu Luyao was never very good at rejecting others. She looked at Xu Donghui, who remained silent, and said, "No, Auntie. I don't have any plans to get married right now."
"What's there to be afraid of if you don't have one now? You will have one in the future." Aunt Zhang began to use her skills as a matchmaker, chattering on and on, saying that she had a man in her hand, who had good conditions, a wealthy family, and whose parents were both workers.
Several aunties nearby also joined in the conversation. Those whose sons were not married were all wondering whether these educated youth were good people. If they were, they could bring them into their own homes.
The ox cart went all the way to the county, and Xu Luyao and the other educated youths quickly got off the cart. She took the opportunity to shake off Aunt Zhang's hand. She was really talkative, and the noise was so loud that it hurt people's ears.
Several educated youth went to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there was anything they could buy.
The supply and marketing cooperative was still crowded as usual, and today there were also goods that did not require tickets, so the ladies bravely squeezed in.
Several educated youth looked at each other, wondering whether they should squeeze in with the ladies. They wondered if the male educated youth would be considered hooligans if they squeezed in.
Hesitating.
"Let's go to the department store. It should be less crowded there," Xu Luyao suggested. Last time, she and Xu Donghui went to the supply and marketing cooperative, but they couldn't find anything there, so they went to the department store. "But basically, you need a ticket there."
"Then let's go," Hu Yue agreed. "As for tickets, do you have any, Luyao?"
Xu Luyao shook her head, "I don't have much left."
Last time, after Zhou Yian said that, she seemed a little uncomfortable with Hu Yue's request, so she hesitated and refused. It was like this before. If she said she had it, Yue Yue would ask her to take it out.
Hu Yue didn't expect her to say that. She had clearly seen some more in the room that day, but she still smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's go to the department store first. There might be someone who can exchange bills nearby."
Zhang Guoan refused to accept this and harshly criticized Hu Yue, "How can you exchange bills? This is speculation. We are of good family background and cannot do such capitalist things."
Hu Yue knew from the past few days that Zhang Guoan's family still had some influence, so she had no choice but to say, "Yes, I was wrong. We need to be down-to-earth and not think about speculation."
Zhang Guoan finally nodded and said, "It's a department store anyway. You can go and take a look. If you really can't buy it, then don't buy it."
A few of them walked to the department store, went in to look at the merchandise, and sure enough, most of them required tickets.
Only some things that seem to be relatively luxurious nowadays, such as malted milk and White Rabbit milk candy, did not require tickets.
But because no tickets are required, the price is relatively high.
Zhang Guoan was relatively wealthy, so after some consideration, he bought a can of malted milk and a bag of White Rabbit milk candy. Seeing Xu Donghui and Xu Luyao eating and drinking delicious food every day, he also became greedy.
Besides, farm work is quite tiring, so Qian Tu also bought a can of malted milk.
Seeing Xu Luyao didn't move, Hu Yue had no choice but to go and buy it herself. She reluctantly paid the money and then came over to hand the malted milk to Xu Luyao and said, "Luyao, I always drank yours before. I'm so embarrassed. This time, I bought it for both of us to drink."
I don't know why Xu Luyao became a little difficult to coax after she went to the countryside. I still have to make some efforts to coax her first, and then she will suffer. Hu Yue thought of Aunt Zhang's enthusiasm and sneered in her heart.
Xu Luyao was a little embarrassed holding the malted milk, and she refused it quite bluntly when she came over.
I went to the department store and bought some small red hairbands, clam oil and other things.
A few of them prepared to go to the state-owned restaurant again.
When this generation of educated youth went to the countryside, although they did not receive any resettlement fees, they were still given some food coupons, so they could still eat in state-owned restaurants. After eating, they could go ride in the old man's ox cart.

On the mountain.
Zhou Yian’s first pua failed, and all the belittlements made Song Songbai think that she had something to hide, and then he became angry.
In the end, Zhou Yian still had to coax her.
She felt a little regretful and felt that she had lost her credibility with Song Songbai.
Whenever she said something, Song Songbai would become extremely nervous. Zhou Yian couldn't tell whether he was really angry or just pretending to be angry.
Actually, it doesn’t matter if you’re angry, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to coax her.
For example, now.
