Although Gu Xinyi was also a time traveler, she knew almost nothing about this era, so naturally she didn't know about the Workers-Peasants-Soldiers University.
Therefore, after listening to Chen Shuning's words, Gu Xinyi showed a very agreeable expression on her face, nodded frequently, and replied: "That's right. She is lazy and greedy. She can't earn many work points every day, and she often runs to the town."
In the dead of winter, she doesn't even bother to gather firewood, relying entirely on buying it. With her spending habits of only going out and not coming in, she'll probably be broke soon.
Then, Gu Xinyi stopped talking about Yang Wanqiu and instead warmly invited Chen Shuning: "Shuning, we were lucky today, we caught a whole nest of rabbits."
I'm planning to make spicy rabbit meat tonight, so you don't need to bother cooking by yourself. Come and eat with us.
However, Chen Shuning didn't seem interested. She declined, saying, "I'm not going. I'm too tired from climbing the mountain today. I plan to grill something and eat something simple tonight. I want to get some rest early."
"Oh, by the way, Xinyi, Brother He hunted a big roe deer a couple of days ago. It was quite large. I braised some for him to take with him, and there's still quite a bit left. I'll take some back for you later."
Gu Xinyi, who was about to refuse, swallowed back the refusal she was about to utter when she heard it was roe deer meat. She said with a grin, "Well, well, well, I won't be polite with you then."
Chen Shuning wasn't just being polite; after saying that, he got up to get the keys and prepared to go to the woodshed to get meat for Gu Xinyi.
Later on, He Chaoyang would take the prey he hunted to his space to process it. After all, it was more convenient to process the prey in the slaughterhouse of the space. The processed meat could then be taken out and put directly into the large water vat or ice bucket in the woodshed to freeze.
Therefore, no one else in the educated youth compound knew what Chen Shuning had, not even Gu Xinyi.
Before long, Chen Shuning returned with a piece of roe deer meat, handed it to Gu Xinyi, and then continued to fiddle with her small charcoal stove.
Gu Xinyi had originally thought that He Chaoyang had just left and she was worried that Chen Shuning would be in a bad mood, so she wanted to invite her to dinner to make it more lively. However, since Chen Shuning was unwilling, she did not force her. She took the roe deer meat that Chen Shuning handed her, said goodbye, and went home.
Since Chen Shuning didn't like to move, he decided to cook a bowl of food and bring it to her himself.
Not long after Gu Xinyi left, the aroma of spicy and savory food wafted from the educated youth compound.
At this time, Chen Shuning's charcoal stove was also ready, with sizzling pork belly on the iron grill, looking very appetizing.
It looks delicious when paired with the lettuce that Chen Shuning grows on the windowsill.
When Gu Xinyi came over to deliver spicy rabbit meat to Chen Shuning, Chen Shuning was sitting alone on the kang (a heated brick bed) enjoying the roasted meat.
Seeing Chen Shuning like this, Gu Xinyi was finally relieved.
The girl's appetite wasn't affected by He Chaoyang's departure, which means she's alright and doesn't need comforting.
While Chen Shuning and Gu Xinyi were enjoying their meal, Yang Wanqiu had knocked herself unconscious after hitting a tree. Whether she was truly unconscious or faking it was only known to herself.
With the help of the villagers, Accountant Wang got the person down the mountain and then took him directly to the clinic.
Because of the head injury, the senior doctor was unsure whether Yang Wanqiu, who remained unconscious, was alright, so he suggested taking her to the town hospital for a checkup.
It was quite a coincidence that, despite the bumpy journey and no amount of manipulation by others, she couldn't wake up.
However, just as Accountant Wang was frantically preparing to send the person to town, she suddenly woke up.
In fact, Yang Wanqiu's coma was just an act.
She knew full well that her flimsy excuse was untenable, and those hateful villagers kept watching and refused to leave. Helpless, she had no choice but to bump into a tree to divert the villagers' attention, and then pretended to be unconscious to avoid their questioning.
Upon hearing that she had to go to the town hospital, she panicked.
On the one hand, she was afraid that her injuries would be exposed; on the other hand, she was also worried that the treatment would cost a lot of money.
You should know that she had been helping the elderly couple in the cowshed these days, and with her own food, clothing and other expenses, her already meager savings were now almost gone.
Otherwise, given her status, why would she lower herself to approach Accountant Wang?
Although she had also considered taking this opportunity to extort money from that old woman, Wei.
But Granny Wei's family was notoriously poor, and even if you asked her for money, she couldn't come up with any.
Rather than doing that, it's better to give up; at least you can leave yourself with a good reputation.
At that crucial moment, Yang Wanqiu astutely seized the opportunity and "awakened" at just the right time.
A hint of confusion flickered in her eyes as she gently pulled Cai Xiaoyu aside and whispered, "Where am I?"
Cai Xiaoyu was thinking about how to move into Yang Wanqiu's house smoothly the whole way, so she didn't even bother to take the firewood she had gathered. She just followed Yang Wanqiu all the way down the mountain and stayed by her bedside silently after arriving at the clinic.
Upon hearing Yang Wanqiu's question, she immediately showed a concerned expression and anxiously replied, "Sister Wanqiu, you scared me to death!"
Why would you do something so foolish? I already agreed to testify for you, why did you still go and run into the tree!
The doctor just said that the wound on your head is very large and you need to rest well, preferably in bed.
"Sister Wanqiu, how can you properly recover living alone? Why don't I move in and take care of you? We can keep each other company."
