Yan Ning: "This kind of fabric is cheaper than cotton, 35 cents a foot. I don't know if you plan to make a skirt or a top.
I bought twelve feet of cloth for a total of four dollars and twenty cents and twelve feet of cloth coupons."
"That's perfect. I was wondering whether to make a braid or a blouse. Now that I have enough fabric, I can make both at once."
After saying that, Yan Sumei put the cloth into the kang cabinet, counted the money and handed it to Yan Ning.
"Thank you, Sister Ning. If you want to buy fabric to make clothes in the future, you can come to me.
I learned some skills from an old tailor in the county town, and the clothes I make are still nice-looking."
Yan Ning smiled and said, "Okay, if I need you in the future, I will come and trouble Sister Su Mei."
You can sew, that’s good.
The two chatted for a few more sentences before Yan Ning left Yan Sumei's house and returned to the Yan family yard.
Yan Ning returned to the room, entered the space, and went to the 21st century.
I opened my phone and bought a vintage bicycle online.
Expected arrival in three days.
Yan Ning returned to the space to rest.
…
The next day, Yan Ning stayed in the space until eleven o'clock before leaving.
She went to the main room to prepare lunch.
When we got off work at half past eleven, we heard a noisy sound coming from far away outside the yard.
Yan Ning vaguely heard the words "fight" and "educated youth" in the kitchen.
Yan Ning's gossip radar started ringing, she put down the kitchen knife and ran towards the door.
When I came out of the yard, I saw from afar that the crowd of people going to and from work on the road in front were all running towards the river.
Yan Ning closed the gate and took a small path to watch the fun.
Many people had gathered by the river, and two female educated youth were standing on the riverbank, fighting.
You grab my face and I pull your hair.
The two men fought fiercely, leaving many nail marks on their faces and pulling out a lot of hair.
There were a few educated youth nearby who tried to stop the fight, but after the two men fighting accidentally grabbed their faces, they didn't dare to step forward and could only stand by and stare.
As they fought, the two men gradually moved from the muddy ground by the river to the riverbank.
I don't know who pushed whom, one of them lost his balance and grabbed the other's clothes, and both fell into the river.
When Yan Ning followed the main force over, he happened to see the two people falling into the river.
The two people who fell into the river choked on the water and kept floundering in the water, "Cough... Help... Cough..."
"Save me... cough cough..."
Several educated youth on the shore ran to the riverbank. Some of them could not swim, so they could only stand on the shore and watch.
One of the female educated youth looked at the villagers rushing over from behind and said, "Is there anyone who can swim? Please help!"
"Help... cough..."
The two people in the river kept shouting for help.
Yan Ning looked into the river. One of them was Yang Xiujuan and the other was He Yunyun.
Two people were waving their hands wildly in the water.
He Yunyun's hand suddenly touched Yang Xiujuan's hand, and she immediately grabbed Yang Xiujuan tightly as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Yang Xiujuan was grabbed by someone and lost her buoyancy, and began to sink slowly.
"Help... cough cough..."
The villagers on the shore were watching the fun. They were all a group of aunts, grandmas and young wives, and none of them could swim.
Someone said, "Let's find a stick to pull the man up!"
"Yeah! Find a stick and try it."
Two aunts went to look for sticks.
Suddenly, a man ran out from behind the crowd and jumped directly into the river.
The man first grabbed He Yunyun, who was closest to him, and tried to take her to the shore.
But He Yunyun's hands were still tightly holding Yang Xiujuan, and the man who was trying to rescue them couldn't pull the two of them away for a while.
“Cough… cough… help…”
The man yelled at He Yunyun, "Let her go first. I'll take you to the shore."
He Yunyun, in a panic, heard his words and quickly let go of her hand, hugging the man who saved her tightly with both hands.
The man suddenly felt a weight added to his body, and it seemed a little difficult for him to move.
He swam hard towards the shore and had someone pull He Yunyun up.
He Yunyun kept holding him tightly.
The man yelled, "Let me go quickly, they're going to pull you up."
He Yunyun then let go of her hand and allowed several educated youth on the shore to pull her up.
Yang Xiujuan, who was still in the river, had sunk into the water, her entire body submerged in the water, and there was no movement.
The man who rescued the woman quickly swam towards that location and dived into the water to search for Yang Xiujuan.
After a few seconds, two figures emerged from the water.
The man held Yang Xiujuan's body and swam to the shore. People on the river bank hurriedly pulled them up.
The people around were talking about it.
"Why do you think these two female educated youths are fighting?"
"Who knows, could it be for that man again?"
"It's hard to say. There have been cases of female educated youth jumping into rivers for male educated youth before."
"Isn't this Old Man Qin's eldest son who's a soldier? Why did he come back so suddenly?"
"He must have come back to visit his family. He didn't expect to encounter something like this as soon as he got back."
"Hey, you say, the eldest son of the Qin family is not married yet, and now he has physical contact with these two female educated youth, so this..."
“…”
Yan Ning looked at the man who saved the man.
No wonder, these days only soldiers would save people without hesitation!
Unfortunately, these two female educated youth are not good girls, so don't let them take advantage of you.
He Yunyun was rescued early and only choked on a few mouthfuls of water.
After being rescued, Yang Xiujuan fell into a coma.
CPR and artificial respiration were not yet widely available in those days.
Everyone was at a loss as to how to save the person.
Yan Ning stood by and watched from a distance, with no intention of helping anyone.
Yang Xiujuan always annoyed her, made trouble for her, and made things difficult for her.
She is not a saint, and she cannot save a servile person without any hesitation.
Fortunately, Secretary Yan and Yan Guoshu arrived quickly.
Yan Guoshu arranged a tractor to take Yang Xiujuan to the hospital.
As for the person to accompany and take care of her, Yin Qingyu, who was considered by outsiders to have the best relationship with Yang Xiujuan, was assigned.
Yin Qingyu opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
She also has to maintain her perfect image in the Big Willow Brigade.
Finally she got on the tractor and went to the hospital together.
Secretary Yan looked at the remaining educated youth and asked, "Who can tell me what happened? Why did He Zhiqing and Yang Zhiqing fight?"
A few educated youth looked at each other, but they didn’t know either!
When they heard the quarrel and came to see what was happening, the two men had already started fighting.
Finally, Chen Man, who knew some of the whole story, said, "Yang Zhiqing's family sent her a large package.
Yesterday, Yang Zhiqing was sorting things out in his room after he got it back, and was seen by He Zhiqing who came to visit.
He Zhiqing said that Yang Zhiqing's family was a capitalist family and Yang Zhiqing was the daughter of a capitalist.
The two of them started arguing and were about to fight, but were stopped by Ye Zhiqing and Han Zhiqing.
