The next morning, Ye Xiaoxiao woke up early.

After changing the place, she really fell asleep, and the room was really cold.

For the first time, Ye Xiaoxiao felt that poverty and coldness are directly proportional, the poorer the person, the colder it is.

Now is the 1980s, an era when gold is everywhere.

But the spring breeze of the times did not blow to the small town of Songlin. There were no vast plains, no rumbling steel mills, and even less the open environment of the coastal areas.

Even the only logging site in the village that needs labor will be closed down after a long time due to calls for environmental protection.

Money, money, money comes from everywhere, flying into your arms...

After Ye Xiaoxiao gave herself a ritual in her heart, she began the difficult process of getting up.

However, as soon as my skin came into contact with the cold air, goose bumps started to appear and I refused to leave the quilt at all.

She understood that this was how one's iron will was honed.

Ye Jianguo and Ye Changqing got up earlier. Seeing that Ye Changsheng was much better, they wanted to leave secretly, but Miao Fengshan stopped them and did not let them leave until they took all the food they had collected.

Before leaving, Ye Jianguo told Ye Changyuan to take good care of his younger brothers and sisters and go home when the weather gets better.

Ye Changyuan agreed readily.

By the time Ye Xiaoxiao opened the door, Ye Jianguo and his son had already left.

Ye Changsheng seemed much better, no longer looking as sick as he was yesterday. He set up a table on the kang and read a book.

Ye Xiaoxiao recalled that Dui should be in his third year of high school.

In the past two years, the national education reform has changed the original two-year high school system to a three-year system.

The first to be affected are children in poor areas. For some families, having them study for one more year is a huge burden.

"It's winter vacation now, what book are you reading?"

Ye Xiaoxiao sat on the kang and tried to find something to talk about.

Ye Changsheng ignored him. He was reading some teaching materials left by his grandmother. The college entrance examination was only half a year away, and he had no idea what he would take.

Although he was considered a good student in Shirakawa Prefecture, the quality of education there was very poor. Compared with other places, only a few people were admitted to university every year.

The Ye family encouraged him to study, but his brothers all failed to get into college.

Ye Changsheng: "Do you want to leave? No one is stopping you now, you can leave anytime."

Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled and said deliberately: "But Mom and Dad both want you to leave. You have decided that you will live here from now on and live with you guys."

Now even if the Ye family chased her away, she would return to the capital.

The original book wrote that when Ye Xiaoxiao returned to the capital, many young men from the big courtyards protected her at first and helped her bully Hao Yanyan, but later on, under the influence of the heroine's halo.

Those who were hostile to Hao Yanyan were conquered by her.

Ye Xiaoxiao, who was originally the white moonlight, fell from the altar into the mire and ended up miserably.

If you want to change your fate, you must stay away from the heroine and live your own life well.

Ye Changsheng: "It's up to you. Life here is hard anyway. I believe you can bear it."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Then let's wait and see."

Ye Changsheng: "..."

After having breakfast at grandma's house, Ye Xiaoxiao continued to give Ye Changsheng an injection. After a while, he got used to it and had accepted his fate. This time, he did not lose.

After dinner, Ye Xiaoxiao noticed that Miao Fengshan was limping with his left leg, so she sat on the kang and took his pulse.

"Grandma, you have an old injury on your left leg. The weather has been cold recently and it's showing signs of recurring."

Miao Fengshan nodded: "This is an old problem, it's not a big deal."

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but she had already made a decision in her heart.

When she had nothing to do during the day, she would take Ye Changyuan out the door.

"I brought enough clothes here, and I also need to buy some daily necessities." This is the truth.

Ye Changyuan scratched his head: "Then you just need to buy some cloth and cotton, and then go back and ask Auntie to make it for you. Auntie's craftsmanship is pretty good."

"OK!"

Just as the two were about to open the door, they were stopped by Ye Changsheng.

I was worried that they might get into trouble outside, so I had to follow them.

Ye Xiaoxiao had no intention of doing anything bad, and was not afraid of being followed.

The three of them came to the supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperative in the town was large, but everything could be bought there.

But after entering, Ye Xiaoxiao discovered a problem: she didn't have a ticket.

In the 1980s, China was still in an environment of material scarcity and supply exceeding demand. To buy things, you not only needed money but also a ticket.

"I don't have a ticket." Ye Xiaoxiao had never experienced being able to buy things with money before, so she stood in the supply and marketing cooperative very awkwardly.

"So stupid."

Ye Changsheng said with disdain, then stretched out his hand, "Give me the money."

Ye Xiaoxiao handed over two big reunion cards.

This amount of money is equivalent to a worker's monthly salary and can buy a lot of things.

Ye Changsheng took the money and went to talk to the salesperson. After a while, he called Ye Xiaoxiao and Ye Changyuan over.

The salesperson had various tickets lying around and was willing to sell them. After Ye Changsheng's negotiation, they were able to obtain several cloth tickets and daily necessities tickets.

After buying the things and preparing to leave, Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Our family is really short of food, so why don't you ask her if she has any food coupons?"

Ye Xiaoxiao bought seven feet of cloth and five pounds of cotton, as well as towels, brushes, vanishing cream and other daily necessities.

The original owner brought a lot of things with him. If he wanted to live here for a long time, he would definitely need to prepare more.

Others said that vanishing cream and hand cream are must-haves. Ye Xiaoxiao had just arrived for a while when she felt her face burning from the wind.

"What are you doing...my family wants your money."

Ye Changsheng felt sorry for his boyfriend as he watched him spend money like water, but when he was about to pay the bill and leave, he found out that he still had things to buy, which he understood very well.

"I'm buying something for you, so you'll be happy to eat something good."

Ye Xiaoxiao curled her lips.

Ye Changyuan: "I know a good place to buy food. It's a little more expensive than the grocery store, but you need a ticket."

People from Baicun often come here to buy things, and some of them have their own connections.

Ye Xiaoxiao: “Where?”

The leaves are always tangled.

Ye Changsheng knew where the other party was going, and said directly: "That kind of land is perfect for you. If you really want to buy it, let's go there after dark and try our luck.

But we agreed in advance that the grocery store sells it for 30 cents a pound, and there it costs 50 cents. Now it’s the end of the year, so it must be more expensive.”

Ye Xiaoxiao knew that they wanted to go to the black market, so after thinking about it, she agreed.

The three of them left the supply and marketing cooperative, and Ye Changyuan carried all the things.

Halfway through the walk, Ye Xiaoxiao left again.

Ye Changsheng: "You want to..."

"Where can I get some Chinese medicine? I need to go get some for grandma."

Ye Xiaoxiao comes from a medical family. Her grandfather is a Chinese medicine practitioner and her grandmother is a Western medicine practitioner. Influenced by this family environment, although she studied Western medicine in college, she actually knows both Chinese and Western medicine.

Ye Changsheng shut up.

Seeing the embarrassed look on her face, Ye Xiaoxiao still felt somewhat proud.

Come to think of it, now it is Ye Xiaoxiao in front of you.

Ye Changyuan, who was a bit carefree, quickly showed her the way: "There's a Chinese medicine clinic in front. It opened in the last two years. I don't know where the old man came from. He has a weird temper. No one goes there for treatment."
