In a blink of an eye, He Xianqiu had been in Qinggang Brigade for more than a month.
During this period, He Xianqiu either went to class or went to Grandpa Zhong's house for dinner. She also went to the commune and bought several kilograms of pork and went to Grandpa Zhong's house. Then she went to Grandpa Zhong's house for dinner every few days.
The educated youth at the educated youth point were still wondering why she went out after every meal. He Xianqiu explained calmly that the dormitory was too boring, so she went out for a walk.
The educated youth was really fooled by the reason she gave, and looked as if he had realized it.
The other educated youths all went to work, and He Xianqiu stayed at the educated youth site. Today is the weekend, and there are no classes at school, so He Xianqiu stayed at the educated youth site.
There was nothing to do at the educated youth center, so He Xianqiu just wandered around.
Suddenly, someone called her name outside the educated youth point, and He Xianqiu walked out.
The postman was a young man, sitting on a bicycle and carrying an olive green messenger bag.
He Xianqiu asked: "Hello, I'm He Xianqiu."
When the postman saw such a beautiful person coming over, he blushed, froze for a few seconds, then scratched his head and said, "Hello, Comrade He has your letter, and your package is too big so you have to pick it up yourself."
As he said this, he handed the letter to He Xianqiu. How could there be such a pretty girl? She was so beautiful, so stunning. He was short of words and could only come up with a few words.
He Xianqiu took it and thanked him. After the postman delivered the package, he left.
Although he was a little reluctant to leave, the work was very important, so he had to leave reluctantly. This was such a beautiful person he had met in the commune.
After He Xianqiu received the letter, he turned around and ran back to the dormitory with joy.
When he arrived at the dormitory, He Xianqiu couldn't wait to open the letter, then sat on the bed and read it.
The letter said that her family missed her very much and kept talking about things at home. They were worried that she was not living well in the countryside and that she could not buy the things she often used and ate there, so they sent her five cans of milk powder, five boxes of chocolates, candied fruits, three dresses and two pairs of leather shoes. She also added that her family also put money in the package.
He Xianqiu thought of the people far away in Kyoto. Although she had never met them, she felt inexplicably close to them.
So when she read the letters and felt the care between their words, she felt as if a warm current was flowing into her heart, making her feel warm.
However, Uncle Chen, who drove the ox cart, was resting today. Without the ox cart, He Xianqiu didn't know how to go to the commune to get things. Thinking of this, He Xianqiu became worried.
She didn't know many people in the team who could lend her a bicycle, and even if she could, she wouldn't know how to drive it.
Moreover, the dates when Uncle Chen goes to the commune are not fixed, and He Xianqiu only has two days of rest on weekends, so he doesn't know when he can go to pick up the package.
At this moment, she thought of the only familiar person in the team, the villain Xiao Ji, and it seemed that she could only ask for help from him.
So He Xianqiu decided to try his luck and see if Ji Chenzhou was with Mr. Zhong.
After all, he usually goes to Mr. Zhong's place, so let's see if he can be lucky enough to meet him.
He Xianqiu packed up and walked towards Mr. Zhong's house. Because she was alone, He Xianqiu chose to take the main road.
No one goes on the small road, and if something happens, she won't be able to help. It's better to take the main road, where there are people around, and she will feel more at ease.
He Xianqiu quickened his pace on the wide dirt road and met some young wives in the village.
The young wives saw her and called her.
"He Zhiqing, where are you going?"
He Xianqiu stopped and smiled politely: "I'll go get some medicine from Dr. Zhong."
“I see.”
Thinking about how He Xianqiu was a teacher in the primary school in the brigade and had weekends off every week, while they had to do farm work every day, they couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"I really envy He Zhiqing, who is a teacher in a school and gets full work points, while we work ourselves to death for a few work points every day."
"That's right. Besides, He Zhiqing is so pretty. Many guys are attracted by her the moment she appears."
He Xianqiu listened to their sarcasm and said with a smile: "I have no choice. I passed the exam, so I can only teach in school."
Several young wives were outmaneuvered by her and were choked and upset, but they couldn't find any way to refute her.
He Xianqiu said politely: "If you have anything else, I'll leave first."
A few people could only force a smile and say, "Go ahead if you have something else to do. There's no time to waste."
After He Xianqiu walked away, these people's faces fell.
"Pah, I just have a vixen face."
"Maybe I became a teacher because of my looks. If I had such a good-looking face, I could do the same..."
At this time, Ji Chenzhou came over and said expressionlessly, "Stop talking nonsense. This is a rumor. And you can't be as beautiful as her."
When the young wives heard these sarcastic words, their faces turned red and they were a little shocked. Who would have thought that Ji Laosi, who was usually taciturn, would defend others.
Ji Chenzhou saw He Xianqiu from a distance, but due to the presence of other people, he did not come over to say hello.
After He Xianqiu left, he came over and just happened to hear these people talking about He Xianqiu, which made him frown.
After saying that, Ji Chenzhou quickly caught up with He Xianqiu, keeping a distance of several meters from him.
He Xianqiu had no idea what happened next. She walked quickly and soon arrived at Grandpa Zhong's house.
He Xianqiu knocked on the door, and Grandpa Zhong opened it. She said to him, "Hello, Grandpa Zhong." She then asked, "Is Ji Chenzhou here with you? If you need anything, go find him."
Just as Mr. Zhong was about to shake his head to say he was not there, he saw Ji Chenzhou coming from behind. He pointed to the front and said, "Ji Chenzhou is behind you."
He Xianqiu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Ji Chenzhou walking towards Grandpa Zhong's house.
He Xianqiu didn't expect that the person she was looking for was right behind her.
When she saw Ji Chenzhou, He Xianqiu's eyes lit up. She trotted over and came in front of Ji Chenzhou.
"Xiao Ji, I want to ask you for help."
Ji Chenzhou looked down at her and asked, "What's the matter?"
He Xianqiu looked up at Ji Chenzhou and said, "My family sent some stuff to the commune, but now I want to borrow a bicycle. See if anyone you know has a bicycle. I want to pay to rent one."
He Xianqiu was not familiar with the people in the team, and really didn’t know who to find to lend her the money. She could only help Ji Chenzhou, who could pay to rent it.
He Xianqiu looked up, and unexpectedly discovered that Ji Chenzhou seemed to have grown taller.
Originally, Ji Chenzhou was a head taller than her, but now He Xianqiu discovered that she was only as tall as Ji Chenzhou's shoulders, and Ji Chenzhou had grown a few centimeters taller.
Ji Chenzhou is very thin, but tall, and has a very fair complexion, like a gentle scholar. He works under the sun every day, but he never gets tanned.
But He Xianqiu was so envious. When she was doing farm work, she was exposed to the scorching sun every day. She was afraid of getting tanned, so she wanted to cover everything up and just leave her eyes exposed.
But the other person doesn't even cover it up, and he still looks so white, it's really frustrating to compare with him.
Ji Chenzhou listened to her and thought for a moment: "Wait for me here, I'll go borrow it."
When He Xianqiu heard that she could borrow it, she was so happy that she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah, then I'll wait for you here."
Ji Chenzhou lowered his eyes, looked at her and smiled, then left Mr. Zhong's house.
He Xianqiu was called in by Mr. Zhong to sit and wait. Ji Chenzhou would not be back for a while, so he went in and sat down first.
He Xianqiu felt that it was well taken care of. It would be tiring to just stand and wait, so she decided to go in and sit and wait.
He Xianqiu sat there waiting, and Grandpa Zhong came into the kitchen with a smile and made her a bowl of sugar water.
After He Xianqiu thanked him, she took it and took a sip, and found that it was sugar water. Her first reaction was that the old man was too wasteful.
After all, Mr. Zhong's life was ordinary, and he was demoted to the Qinggang Brigade after all.
Even though he didn't have to live in a cowshed because he was a doctor, he still lived an ordinary life. He didn't dare to leave any valuables at home, for fear that the barbaric villagers would come to his house to search and take away.
She heard from Ji Chenzhou that a few years ago, the fine noodles that Mr. Zhong's family had worked so hard to put in were snatched away by someone who broke into the house and said with a clear conscience that bad elements had no right to eat good food.
Mr. Zhong was extremely angry, but he had to bow his head under the eaves. He could only watch helplessly as the other party took away the fine noodles that he had saved with great difficulty and was reluctant to eat.
So later on, Mr. Zhong learned his lesson and would eat the delicious food immediately instead of saving it.
However, because Mr. Zhong was labeled a bad element, although He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou often came to his place, they were all secretive.
When He Xianqiu heard about what happened to Mr. Zhong, he felt angry and distressed.
If you can't wait for the truth to come out, you will have to endure discrimination and criticism and live cautiously.
So at this moment, seeing that Grandpa Zhong was making her sugar water, He Xianqiu quickly said, "Grandpa Zhong, this is too wasteful. You can just keep the sugar for your own brewing."
The old man has a hard time too. The only good things he can eat are when Ji Chenzhou goes hunting and brings them here, or when she goes to the commune to buy ingredients and cooks them, so that he can eat some meat dishes.
Mr. Zhong shook his head and said, "Drink it. I am not short of this little bit of candy. I want to give it to you, a little girl, to sweeten your mouth."
Old Master Zhong also knew that He Xianqiu loved him, but he treated He Xianqiu as half a granddaughter. He couldn't give her much, so he could only use what he had to sweeten her mouth.
After all, Mr. Zhong also knew how the little girl He Xianqiu treated an old man like him. Whenever the little girl had food, she would think of him, an old man. He felt satisfied and warm in his heart.
After hearing what Grandpa Zhong said, He Xianqiu could only nod, but she thought in her heart that there were so many delicious foods in her package, which could be shared with Grandpa Zhong.
After all, although this old man is very arrogant, He Xianqiu also knows that he treats her as half a granddaughter.
