Before the tractor entered the village, Wei Ci saw people gathered at the village entrance from a long distance away.
"Good heavens!"
Wei Yang covered his face with his hands. He had just been laughing at the embarrassment of other teams welcoming people by dancing yangge and beating gongs. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, his own father was waiting at the village entrance with people. The familiar aunts were waiting for them with bright red lips and cheeks.
"Here they come! Hurry up, the educated youth are here to pick them up!"
The next second, gongs and drums were beating, and the handkerchief flew into the sky, spinning. The educated youth were stunned, and Wei Ci and Wei Yang were also stunned.
"Welcome! Welcome! A warm welcome!"
Wei Jianguo rubbed his hands together, stepped forward, and shook Xiao Baiyu's hand, shaking it excitedly: "Hey, welcome all the educated youth to our village!"
While no one was reacting, Wei Ci jumped directly from the truck bed with her package. Sure enough, the next second, several people rushed in and enthusiastically helped with the luggage. The educated youth couldn't stop them.
Qi Youyou was so frightened that she subconsciously grabbed Xiao Baiyu's sleeve tightly and started stuttering when she spoke.
"Did you... obviously rob it?"
An auntie waved her hand arrogantly: "Don't be afraid, big sister, we are here to help you carry it and make sure that nothing is missing!"
The noisy scene took a long time to calm down, and the educated youth also understood what the villagers meant.
"It's like this. There are a total of 67 households in our village and no vacant houses at the moment. It's too late to build a house for you after receiving the notice. You'll have to wait a little longer to move into the educated youth camp you want to live in. Why don't you just stay at Kanxiang's house for now?"
It was spring planting time, and everyone was so busy that they really had no time to build a house.
The educated youth looked at each other, then looked at the villagers across from them with their enthusiastic and hopeful eyes, swallowed their saliva and wanted to say no.
But, I didn't dare to speak.
"So, do we need to decide which house to live in?"
Wei Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as they were easy to talk to, he pointed at the people next to them who were helping them with their luggage and motioned them to look over there.
"They are the families that have taken the initiative to accept educated youth. The rest of the families either have many children or their children are grown up and are not suitable for outsiders to come in. Only these families have children who are either already married or still young. You won't suffer any loss if you move in."
The educated youth looked at each other, hesitating for a long time, not knowing whether to agree or not.
No one would feel comfortable if they suddenly moved into someone else's house.
"Can I stay at her house?"
Zhu Zhu pointed at Wei Ci's gradually walking away back, her eyes full of anticipation. She wanted to live with this beautiful woman.
"Sorry, no, she has a son, and it's not suitable for a girl like you to live there."
As soon as he finished speaking, several disappointed glances turned away from him.
Wei Jianguo sighed, it seemed that they were all smart people.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell the difference. Compared with those pale and skinny people in front of them, whose clothes are patched, the little girl is dressed in clean and tidy clothes, with shiny and smooth hair. Although there is not much skin exposed, the little bit of skin she shows is fair and tender, not to mention her temperament. It is obvious that her family is well-off and she is very much loved and pampered.
In this rural area where there is a serious preference for boys over girls, to be able to take such good care of a girl in the family, it means that either the family is well-off or the family treats her very well.
So, how bad could a guy be who can take such good care of a girl?
Wei Ci didn't notice anything unusual behind her as she walked away. She continued to walk home happily with the heavy package.
The room was very quiet, and Wei Ci was puzzled as she didn't see Wei Qingfeng.
"Where did you go again?"
Wei Ci was really curious about this second brother.
Ever since he sold his job in the city and became an accountant in the village, he has often been missing for a whole day. Sometimes he is not even seen in the village office.
Wei Ci was lost in thought, and quickly pulled herself back to reality. She shook off the series of questions in her mind, and sat down on the kang to happily open the package.
The first package should have been sent by the eldest brother. It contained two old military uniforms and a pair of new Liberation shoes. It was obvious that it was for the second brother. It was also filled with several heavy cans of military meat, two packets of milk candy, two packets and two cans of milk powder and two cans of malted milk.
"Huh?"
When she took out the small package from the bottom and opened it, Wei Ci smiled. It was clothes for her: a jacket that was made from an old military uniform, two shirts, two pairs of black pants, a pair of Huili shoes, a pair of small white shoes, and a big bag of glutinous rice noodles.
Putting the food aside for the time being, Wei Ci happily tried the shirt on herself. The more she looked at it, the more beautiful it became. Her dimples unconsciously appeared again. For a girl, no matter where she is or how old she is, wearing new clothes is always the happiest thing for her.
Her space was filled with all kinds of ancient costumes, some gorgeous and some everyday. Even the fabrics were gorgeous fabrics like brocade, cloud brocade, and misty cotton satin. She didn't dare to take them out to make clothes. Isn't it obvious that there is something fishy going on?
Put the things sent by the eldest brother away and put the envelope aside, waiting for the second brother to come back to open it.
She looked at another package, which should have been sent by Gu Zhan. After thinking about it, Wei Ci decided not to touch it and decided to deliver it to Uncle Gu in the evening when there were not many people around.
With a flash, Wei Ci entered the space, collected the various dried fruits and medicinal herbs that he had dried in the space, wrapped them in bags with the oil paper he had bought, and wrote down the types on them for easy access later.
She squeezed the shelves in the small room again and again, and finally made an empty shelf to place these things.
The four-layer shelves, six meters long and four meters high, were almost filled with the fruits of her labor these days.
The bottom layer is filled with wine jars, with fruit wine and flower wine placed separately.
The second layer is occupied by porcelain bottles of various sizes, which contain various life-saving pills she made, daily medicines, skin care products for beauty and nourishing, Chinese herbal shampoo to prevent hair loss, and hair cream to keep hair shiny and smooth...
The third layer is filled with neatly arranged oil paper packages, which contain various preserved fruits, dried vegetables, etc. that she made.
The top layer holds her embroidery. She would send one picture or one pattern back to the space every day. She didn't dare take these things out because she witnessed a Chinese medicine practitioner being reported and taken away for acupuncture. Since then, Wei Ci didn't dare to embroider in front of outsiders, for fear of being reported for feudalism.
The empty space on the shelf that was left because of the goods sent to her elder brother was filled again. Wei Ci pinched her waist with a look of satisfaction on her face.
As someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder and a hoarding habit, seeing the shelves neatly filled almost doubles my sense of satisfaction and happiness.
Rolling up their sleeves, they harvested all the crops from several plots of land, sowed the seeds again, picked the ripe fruits from the trees, put them in baskets, and stored them in a storage room where time stood still.
