Chapter 31 Playing in the Mud



When Su Qingxue woke up the next day, she felt extremely sore all over.

'Oh my, my waist, my legs, my feet, my back!'

It feels like everything hurts except my head.

Those few days on the train were particularly uncomfortable. I didn’t feel any discomfort in my body at first, but once I relaxed, I felt like there was no discomfort in my body.

I took out my watch and looked at the time. It was already 8:30 in the morning.

I didn’t expect that I slept for so long. Even the horn for work didn’t wake me up. It seems that I am really exhausted.

After changing clothes and coming out of the house, I saw that the entire educated youth site was in silence.

I glanced at Feng Xue's room next door. The door was not locked, so he must have overslept like me.

Knowing that they were all still sleeping instead of abandoning me and going to the commune alone, I felt less panicked.

After washing up, he took a steamed bun from the space to fill his stomach.

I thought I didn’t have anything to buy, so if others were going to the commune, I might as well not go.

While they are away, go find Su's father and mother.

However, she did not forget the most important thing. She found a broken clay pot in the corner, went outside to get some yellow mud, pulled some dry grass, chopped the grass into sections, mixed them together, and filled the gap in the stove first.

After it dries, I still have to cook.

Su Qingxue was busy outside, which inevitably made some noise, so after she finished mixing the mud, she heard the noise next door.

As soon as Feng Xue opened the door, he saw Su Qingxue playing in the mud and was shocked.

"Qingxue, how old are you? Why are you still playing this?"

Su Qingxue looked confused and didn't understand what she was saying.

I looked in the direction her finger was pointing and took a look at the yellow mud inside the broken clay jar.

I immediately realized that she had misunderstood.

I quickly explained, "You misunderstood. I brought the pot from home. I found that when the pot was placed on the stove, there were a lot of gaps on the sides, so I got some mud and prepared to block the gaps. This way, it would not waste so much firewood when burning."

Feng Xue knew that he had misunderstood and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Ah? I see! I misunderstood just now. I'm sorry!"

Su Qingxue didn't care at all because she was a real city dweller and her home might also use a coal stove, so it was possible that she had never seen a stove.

Su Qingxue can only be considered a half-baked person. Although she lived in the city in both her past and present lives, it was convenient in her past life and she knew everything by just watching a video.

"It's okay. Don't you still need to go to the commune to buy things? It's so late now, the oxcarts should have left, right? How are you going to get to the commune then?"

"When the time comes, ask if there is a bullock cart to take you there. If not, you can go next time. At most, you can eat together with the old educated youth during this period. After all, you won't starve to death. By the way, aren't you going?"

Feng Xue looked indifferent. She was already so tired yesterday. If she were asked to walk to the commune on her own, her legs would be broken.

"I won't go. My feet are all blistered and it hurts so much when I walk. Besides, I've already brought most of my stuff with me, so I won't be short of things for a while. I'd better wait until I've rested enough before going."

She didn't even plan to buy water jars and pickle jars now. She would wait until she met someone who specialized in driving ox carts and then charter his cart to go to town.

It doesn’t cost much anyway, but it can make you feel more relaxed, so why not do it!

"Um."

Feng Xue felt so tired that she didn't even want to wash up. She just moved a small stool and sat against the wall at the door. She felt much more relaxed this way.

As the sound of the two people chatting spread, the other people at the educated youth point slowly got up.

The male comrades seemed not afraid of being tired. After washing up and filling their stomachs, they came to me and asked the female educated youth, "We are going to the commune. Do you want to go with us?"

Du Keqing glanced at Sun Rui. He didn't know why, after not seeing him for just one night, he felt that he looked much more energetic.

"I'm not going. I'm so tired and want to rest. I wonder if others will go." Su Qingxue refused directly.

The others were a little reluctant to go at first, but when they saw Sun Rui and Zhou Huaian waiting on the side, and looked at those two handsome faces, they finally agreed without hesitation.

It’s just a little harder, they think they can do it.

Wang Xiaomei saw that the other two agreed. She was a little afraid of Su Qingxue and didn't want to stay with Su Qingxue at all, so she agreed to go to the commune even though she was exhausted.

Zhang Jianguo saw that Su Qingxue was not leaving, and glanced at Sun Rui and Zhou Huaian beside him. He found that they were not going to talk, so he kindly asked: "Su Zhiqing, is there anything you want to buy? If it's not heavy, I'll bring it back for you."

This is really direct. It means that if it is too heavy, I won’t help you carry it.

However, Su Qingxue also understood that these people went to the commune today probably to buy pots, pans, and other things. If she asked him to bring too many things, he might not be able to bring them back.

Plus, she felt embarrassed to ask them to help carry things, so she simply shook her head and refused.

"No, I brought pots, pans, and other things from home. I was just worried that it would be hard to buy them here. I feel like there is nothing missing. What's more, you guys have a lot of things to buy, so it's definitely not easy to bring them. I won't bother you."

Zhang Jianguo touched the back of his head, chuckled twice, and showed an embarrassed smile.

"Su Zhiqing is more thoughtful. He brought everything with him, so he doesn't have to spend money to buy anything. Why didn't I think of this?"

"I don't have any extra pots and pans at home for me to bring over. It seems that Su Zhiqing's family is well off and has some extra to bring here."

Although it was a compliment, it felt a little wrong when it came out of Du Keqing's mouth.

You could say she was being sarcastic, but it wasn't that serious. You could say she was giving a sincere compliment, but I didn't hear any sincerity in her words.

I just rolled my eyes in my heart and pretended I didn't hear what she said.

"Since Su Zhiqing is not going, we will leave first. Su Zhiqing, you are alone at the educated youth camp, please pay attention to your safety."

"Okay, thank you for your concern. I will pay attention to it."

Zhou Huaian glanced at Su Qingxue. He originally wanted to ask her to go with him. He always felt unsafe staying alone at the educated youth site.

But he moved his mouth but did not say the words out loud. He felt that he should not meddle in other people's business. After all, the other person clearly did not want to go, so there was no need to force him.
