Hua Xiangyun waited until people started handing in their papers before leaving her seat, but she still made an appointment with Wu Yanxin to go to the supply and marketing cooperative together to buy some things.
Hua Xiangyun told Wu Yanxin that there were a few spots available for sending people to the countryside nearby, but Wu Yanxin was unwilling to take over and went to the educated youth office to sign up herself.
Of course, they wouldn't let such a good thing slip by; they only notified their close classmates, so they seized every opportunity that Jiang Yiyun had.
"Although it's convenient to go home since it's close by, we'll be eating and sleeping there, and we'll need to prepare a lot of things." Wu Yanxin was very excited. Although she had heard that going to the countryside was tough, she still wanted to experience it for herself. Besides, it was so close to home that she could come back anytime, and her parents could visit her.
All this good fortune is thanks to Hua Xiangyun, and the two have become even closer than before.
Hua Xiangyun was dragged outside by her. "There's no need to rush. The supplies from the supply and marketing cooperative won't run away."
And didn't I tell you already? I'm not going to live there; I'll be staying with a relative.
Wu Yanxin said, "Of course I remember. I also made an appointment with Shaoyao. I didn't expect her to finish the exam so quickly this time, and she was the first to hand in her paper."
Hua Xiangyun: "There's a reason for that. I saw her going out while pressing her stomach."
People have to go to the bathroom sometimes, and even during an exam, they can't wait.
Fortunately, it's not the college entrance exam now, otherwise everyone wouldn't be so relaxed.
High school graduation exams like this will never be this pleasant again. My sympathy for you is immense...
"Why is your stomach upset? Let's go to the bathroom and wait there. I've already told her that we'll be staying together." Wu Yanxin said, looking at Hua Xiangyun with a hint of resentment. "I thought the three of us would be crammed together, but who knew you'd abandon us?"
Hua Xiangyun: "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I already told my relatives beforehand, and it's not bad for the two of you to be together. You have someone to take care of each other."
Besides, aren't I with you guys during the daytime work hours too?
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Wu Yanxin said irritably. "We're already too tired from work, so even if we get together, we don't have time to chat or play around."
No, you have to make amends for my emotional trauma.
Hua Xiangyun covered her forehead. "I'm really impressed with you. I'll take you to see Sister Li later. My sister-in-law told me yesterday that her sister's supply and marketing cooperative has a batch of defective products. She asked me to go and pick through them to see if there are any usable items. You can come with me later."
This is a good thing. Wu Yanxin knows how popular defective products are, but they will never release them. They will distribute them internally as soon as they arrive.
"Will it have any impact?" After all, they are related by marriage, but she is even more distant, just Xiangyun's classmate.
Hua Xiangyun isn't the kind of person who lacks discretion. This time, there were quite a few defective products to be distributed, otherwise she wouldn't have asked for them.
Besides, because of this relationship, their family doesn't lack anything, and how much could Wu Yanxin buy with her little bit of savings?
Wu Yanxin hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "But I also made an appointment with Shaoyao. Why don't you go by yourself this time, and Shaoyao and I will go another day?"
Hua Xiangyun knew that she was worried about putting her in a difficult position later, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. At worst, you can choose the good things and I'll pay for them."
There were only so many things to prepare for the trip to the countryside, and even if the two girls had a great desire to buy things, they could only afford to spend a limited amount of money.
If it were truly the person in charge, Hua Xiangyun wouldn't dare to say that.
When the three arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Liqin smiled and led them to the backyard, letting them choose for themselves, as she had many other things to do.
He Xiaolei was still standing behind them. They were all acquaintances, so he readily opened the door and said, "There are quite a lot of them this time, so please feel free to choose."
Their internal staff have already made a selection, and they're making it convenient for these relatives and friends now. They'll release the list after the selection process is complete.
Wu Yanxin and Xiao Shaoyao were a little reserved before, but when they saw the dazzling array of goods casually placed on the ground, their hearts couldn't help but pound.
This is an item that can be purchased without a receipt; even the elders in the family rarely get to touch it.
Each of them took out all the money in their pockets. They had saved on tickets and the prices would be much lower. They needed to carefully consider and choose some more practical items for their homes.
As for the things they prepared for going to the countryside, they were utterly insignificant. Only a fool wouldn't seize such an opportunity.
Hua Xiangyun seemed to lack nothing, let alone her master.
Finally, I picked out a blanket. It didn't have any major flaws, except for a slight deviation in the printing of one of the patterns.
Seeing that she only wanted this one item, He Xiaolei assumed that she had brought a friend and that it was inappropriate for her to choose more. "Hua family girl, please feel free to choose from these items. We have already made our selections."
If you don't have the money on hand, I'll lend it to you first.
Hua Xiangyun quickly shook her head and said, "That's enough. We've already prepared everything at home, so we don't know what else to buy."
Seeing that he said that, He Xiaolei didn't mention it again. Then, a colleague came over with his family, and he had to go over and say hello.
Carrying the blanket home, Tian Guihua looked it over and was very satisfied. "This is a good purchase. It's cool in the mornings and evenings, and it's perfect for this kind of weather."
Since you're planning to stay at your master's place, how about your grandfather and I help you carry your things over in the next couple of days, and we can help you set things up a bit."
Hua Xiangyun really didn't want the two elderly people to do this hard work. "Grandma, you don't need to do this. Don't forget about Jiang Yi and my second brother."
Besides, my sister-in-law is also preparing for childbirth, and the family really needs someone to stay at home.
"Your second brother is really worrying. He's such a grown man, and we've introduced him to so many people, but he still hasn't settled down." With Xiao Guai's wedding date fast approaching and Hua Zhian still undecided, the old man couldn't help but feel anxious.
Even though we have good conditions in all aspects, why do we always encounter problems?
Hua Xiangyun thought for a moment before saying, "My second brother still keeps in touch with his former comrades who went to the countryside, and quite frequently. Could there be some reason behind this?"
Tian Guihua paused, "How did you know?"
"Wu Yanxin told me something, it was Zhuo Tianhe from their compound who said it." Zhuo Tianhe works at the post office, so he naturally has this kind of information. However, that person is indeed a bit of a blabbermouth. Last time he was spreading rumors about buying stamps, and now he's talking about my second brother.
"Him," Tian Guihua said, surprised that the boy who used to be so shy was now so outgoing. She wondered if it was because of his family background, but his gossipy nature was no less than that of the older women.
"I'll ask about it later. It's really something these days; you have to be so careful when sending things."
