The things that Zhao Xianglan stuffed into her bag, except for food, had a shorter shelf life than those in the educated youth gift pack. Moreover, they were not obtained by signing in and could not be put into the system, so it didn't matter if she exchanged a few of them.

Among these tickets, she had the most, and the most practical one for Aunt Guihua should be the cloth coupons.

The piece of cloth she signed for earlier will be of use for a long time.

Aunt Guihua was also very attentive today. Yi Qingqing felt that the pound of brown sugar she gave her in the morning was worth it, and it was a good thing to make friends with her.

These thoughts only lasted for a moment. In Lin Guihua's opinion, Yi Qingqing said without even thinking: "Aunt, I know you are a good person. You are thinking about me, so I won't be polite with you. I really want the pot and water tank you mentioned. I have all the coupons you mentioned, and the cloth coupons are the most. And my mother is afraid that I will be frugal and not spend them, so the shelf life of the coupons she gave me is only one to two months. I have to use them up quickly. If you don't mind, let's exchange them."

When Lin Guihua heard this, she deeply felt that what her husband said last night was right. This little Yi Zhiqing was very sweet-spoken and straightforward. No wonder a girl was so popular at home. If she were her daughter, she would like her too.

"I don't mind, I don't mind. I'll exchange it for cloth coupons. What do you think of seven feet? It's just right for making new clothes for your Uncle Youtian," Lin Guihua said, still a little embarrassed. The price for selling the idle old items was a little high, but the water jar and iron pot in her family were of good quality, but they were a little small for the whole family, so they were replaced. It was just right for Xiao Yi Zhiqing to use alone, and she couldn't afford the seven-foot cloth.

"No problem," Yi Qingqing agreed readily.

There is a well outside the Great Hall, but the hall is too long and deep. She lives near the inside, so it is not very convenient to fetch water. Having a water tank to store water can save a lot of trouble.

She also urgently needed an iron pot, but she didn't know whether she needed a ticket to buy the pot. If she didn't need a ticket, it would be fine. If she did, she really didn't know where to find one, and she would have to go to the county town.

"Well, come to think of it, I am taking advantage of you. I will ask someone to move it to you later," said Lin Guihua.

"No way, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to start cooking today. You even deliver the goods to my door, which is much more convenient than going to the county to buy it," Yi Qingqing said with a smile.

The more Lin Guihua looked at Xiao Yi Zhiqing, the more she liked him. She worked even harder for him. She also introduced her to a skilled worker in Xiangshui Village who was good at building stoves and picking tiles. She gave him 2 kilograms of sorghum flour and asked him to help her after work today.

Finally, he personally acted as a guarantor and introduced her to the old carpenter.

The old carpenter is the oldest person in the Zhao family. His son died in the army, and now he lives alone. He seldom works, but relies on his skills to make things for the villagers to earn a living. He does not take any work except for the people he trusts in the village.

The place where he lived was quite close to the educated youth site.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Yi Qingqing saw a sign-in mark.

[Found the sign-in location of the old carpenter's house in Xiangshui Village. Do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in? 】

This was the first check-in place Yi Qingqing found after arriving in Xiangshui Village. She had just decided yesterday to try all the places she had not checked in to, so as not to miss out on good things like bicycle tickets. Coincidentally, after last night, there was one more check-in point.

[Sign in at the old carpenter's house in Xiangshui Village to gain the carpentry skill.]

It's actually another skill? And it only takes 1 sign-in point. According to the previous rules, the craftsmanship of this old carpenter is probably average.

"Xiao Yi the educated youth?" Lin Guihua called her when she saw her standing still at the door.

"Hey, here I come!" Yi Qingqing put the matter aside and followed Lin Guihua in.

With Lin Guihua as the guarantor, the old carpenter naturally agreed to the deal.

He led the two men into the side room, where there were many finished products.

They are all commonly used, ordinary styles. They can only be said to be neat and practical, not good. Moreover, they are only polished smooth and not painted, so their durability may be poor.

Sure enough, the old carpenter's skills are just average.

However, everything Yi Qingqing wanted was available, and the price was exactly the same as Lin Guihua said, so it was considered very cheap.

The college entrance examination will be resumed in three years. She will only stay in this educated youth center for more than three years but less than four years at most. These things will be of no problem for her in these few years.

As for repairing the doors and windows, the old carpenter could go to the educated youth site with Yi Qingqing right away.

There were quite a lot of things, so Lin Guihua helped her take some and went to the educated youth site with them first.

The time was just right, the villagers had all gone to work, and I didn't meet anyone along the way.

Section 10

When we returned to the youth cadre site, the old youth were all gone. Only the new youth who had gotten two days off were coming in and out, cleaning the house.

Qian Lailai was fetching water outside. She got up very early today and borrowed a bucket from an old educated youth. She was cleaning the house.

Seeing Yi Qingqing leading two people to carry a lot of things back, she hurriedly asked how they got them, "I was wondering why no one answered the door when I knocked this morning, what happened to you?"

"This is Aunt Guihua, from Uncle Youtian's house. There were so many things missing in my house, and I had to rely on her help to buy some of them," Yi Qingqing didn't explain it clearly.

At present, private transactions cannot be banned, so Yi Qingqing never mentioned money and always exchanged things for something.

Even if it's a replacement, it's not something that can be done by simply showing up at someone's door, especially for newly arrived educated youth, you need to ask for help from others. There must be a lot of people who do this, and this is also a way for the villagers to make money.

She only said that it was Aunt Guihua who helped her, and she also didn't want anyone to go through the middleman and cut off other people's source of income.

As expected, after she said that, Qian Lailai set his target on Aunt Guihua. However, she was also smart. She had nothing in her hands, so it was difficult for her to say anything. She just called people first and would talk about the rest later.

After entering the back alley and helping Yi Qingqing put the things at the door of her house, Aunt Guihua said goodbye. She had to go back and find a way to deliver the water jar and iron pot.

Yi Qingqing did not keep the guest.

Qian Lailai had already gone back to the house, got some things and hid them in his arms, then cleverly followed Aunt Guihua out.

The old carpenter checked the doors and windows and said, "Most of this wood is good. I can replace the bad ones for you. It won't be a big deal."

"Okay, just do your work," Yi Qingqing said, and without any intention of watching him work, she went in to tidy up things.

The room, which used to have only an earthen kang, suddenly became full of life after adding tables and chairs.

She put everything in the package into the box, took out the cloth coupons for Aunt Guihua and hid them on her body, then took out three small packages of cakes, and finally hung the lock on the door on the box.

The bedding was carried to the table, and the cakes were placed here as well. They were covered tightly with a straw mat, and a straw felt was placed on top to block out the dust.

Yi Qingqing said something to the old carpenter and went outside to fetch some water.
