She carried the basin to the outside of the educated youth site and met Zhao Fang and another male educated youth who had gotten up to cook on the way.

As for the old educated youth, Zhao Fang and Zhou Qiang are cooking partners. They have both been at the educated youth site for several years. The educated youth have come and gone, some have found ways to use their connections to return to the city, and some couldn't stand it and married people from the village. Only the two of them are still holding on.

They don't have to work in the fields and can all work as teachers in the village primary school and still receive work points.

The two of them should have the intention of being friends.

In the future in the previous book, the two of them persisted until the college entrance examination was resumed, were admitted to university and returned to the city, but they broke up because they went to the south and north of the university respectively.

The other group of people who cooked together were Tang Lan, Lü Zhendong, and Cai Chunshan. Zhou Yanhong was also added before that.

However, Zhou Yanhong found a way back to the city not long ago, had a falling out with Tang Lan, and started shooting alone.

But later, her chance to return to the city was full of twists and turns, and many incidents occurred.

In addition to these people, Xie Shiyan opened fire alone. There was also a male educated youth named Lu Xianjin, who was a Chen Shimei-type character. The book wrote that when he was an educated youth, he currying favor with the village chief's daughter and got many benefits. Later he got married, but when the college entrance examination was resumed, he was admitted to university and never came back.

Yi Qingqing sorted out the relationships between these characters while rubbing the clothes.

It's true that there are all kinds of people in this educated youth camp, and the relationships between the old educated youth are quite complicated.

Now the new and old educated youth may not even be able to call each other by their names. Such a slightly distant relationship may be a good thing. No matter how you look at it, there are relatively few top-notch ones among this batch of new educated youth.

After Yi Qingqing finished scrubbing the clothes, she washed her face and rinsed her mouth outside, and also filled a bucket of water before going back.

The whistle was blown for the second time at this time. When I walked through the back alley, I heard noises in several houses. I guess everyone had gotten up.

When I returned to the room, Li Mengxue was gone and her bedding had been taken away.

Yi Qingqing carried the kang table back to the kang and placed it there.

She ate the last piece of kang pancake her mother prepared for her with water.

Then take out all the money and bills you plan to spend today and put them away, then sit at the door waiting for others.

When Yun Guyuan went out, he saw her sitting on the doorstep, carrying a backpack on her back. She paused and asked, "Are you going out?"

"Well, I made an appointment with Lailai and the others to go to the county town to buy things," Yi Qingqing said.

"I'm going too, so let's go together," Yun Guyuan said as he went back to the house. When he came out after a while, he took a small stool and a thin leather book and sat at the door.

The two looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.

"Would you like some candy?" Yun Guyuan took out the handkerchief used to wrap candy again.

Yi Qingqing shook her head.

Yun Guyuan lowered his eyes and folded the handkerchief again.

"Here you go." Yi Qingqing took out two candies from her pocket and handed one to him. "I'll treat you to candy today."

This candy was given to her by her mother to build relationships with people around her.

Yun Guyuan stared at her hand in a daze, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Take it!" Yi Qingqing urged again.

Yun Guyuan then took it, carefully peeled off the candy wrapper, and put the candy into his mouth, still holding the candy wrapper tightly in his hand.

Yi Qingqing also freed her hands to peel the one in her hand and ate it, then crumpled the candy wrapper and stuffed it back into her pocket.

Then there was a period of silence.

Yun Guyuan was reading a book. The morning sun shone on him, casting a gentle light and shadow.

Yi Qingqing propped up her chin, looked at the sky, looked at the ground, and occasionally glanced at the beautiful scenery opposite.

Finally Qian Lailai, Li Mengxue and the others were ready and everyone was present.

Yun Guyuan put away the book and the stool, went back to the house, rubbed his ears which were a little hot, then smoothed out the candy wrapper in his hand and put it between his favorite books.

Only then did he go out and join the others.

Of the eight educated youth who came the day before yesterday, six went to the county town today. Wang Lingling and Liu Chunxing glanced at their figures going out together, but still did not say anything about following them.

One is that he has no money and no tickets, and the other is afraid of having to borrow money again.

Anyway, now, we are on the train again, and the six of us who are lucky enough to sit together are going out together.

The powerful pills are still taking effect. Yi Qingqing walked particularly easily today and didn't feel tired at all.

I even felt that I could run to the county town in one breath.

I felt physically comfortable and was in a good mood to enjoy the scenery along the way. It was completely different from before when I was struggling to get on with my journey. Now it felt like I was on a tour.

Passing by the check-in location in the middle of the loess road the day before yesterday, Yi Qingqing discovered that the check-in location had been reset.

However, although she had a check-in point, she was unwilling to use it here again.

She has everything she needs now, so it’s better for her to save up some check-in points first.

"People who go to buy a bicycle have a different spirit and energy," Qian Lai joked when he saw that she was in high spirits and in the mood to run around and pick wild flowers on the roadside.

Yi Qingqing seldom had the opportunity to play outdoors in her previous life. Now that she has both the energy and the time, everything she sees is new to her.

Upon hearing this, she took out a wild flower that she disliked the most from the bunch of wild flowers in her hand, stuck it into Qian Lailai's hair, and then looked at her and laughed, "Can this flower shut up a beautiful woman's mouth?"

Qian Lailai was so tired that he pretended to be angry and tried to catch her after being teased by her. "You naughty girl, I will teach you a lesson!"

Yi Qingqing is full of energy now, and she walks with the wind. Qian Lailai is no match for her.

After chasing her for so long, he almost got a stitch in the side. He held his waist and took a few deep breaths, then shouted at her, "Yi Qingqing, stop running. I won't chase you anymore. What did you eat to be able to run so fast?"

Yi Qingqing glanced at Yun Guyuan and the sign-in area that was always open on his body. This was all thanks to the contribution of Comrade Yun Guyuan! I don't know what kind of treasure he is, how did he become a human sign-in area?

Yun Guyuan looked at her playing and laughing with a gentle gaze.

Chen Zhihe glanced at him by chance, as if he had discovered something new. He came over and bumped his shoulder in surprise, "Brother, this is the first time I see you smile so happily. Is there something good going on?"

Yun Guyuan was stunned. Did he smile?

Li Mengxue and Zheng Xiaolong walked at the end.

"Didn't Yi Qingqing say that her parents are ordinary workers? They even bought her a bicycle ticket to go to the countryside. They really spoil her. I'm a little envious of her for having such good parents," said Zheng Xiaolong.

Li Mengxue glanced at him and asked, "Are your parents not good to you?"

"Materially they treated me quite well, but their desire for control was too strong. They always wanted me to follow the path they had arranged, but I didn't want to be their puppet," Zheng Xiaolong was vague and ultimately did not mention the matter of his fiancée.

Li Mengxue feels the same way. No matter what era, the influence of the original family on people is huge. "After all, only a few people are born to be parents. The sooner you become independent, the more confident you will be when talking to them as long as you don't rely on them."
