Chapter 14 Stockpiling (1/2)



After settling these issues and having the couple help inquire about her uncle Zhao Cheng's whereabouts, Zhu Qinghao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, she didn't go home either. At Xiang Yu's warm invitation, she stayed and planned to stay with Xiang Yu for two days.

After all, she's leaving, and it will be difficult to see her again in the future.

Xiang Yu was overjoyed to have successfully kept her.

"Okay, okay, I'm telling you, you'll have to stay a couple more days this time. You're going to the countryside, and I won't be able to visit you easily then. So when will we be able to see each other again..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel like crying.

Zhu Qinghao, touched by her words, also felt a little sad. She hugged her back and said in a muffled voice:

"Little Fish, don't worry, educated youth sent to the countryside can take leave to visit their families. I'll come back to see you as soon as I can."

Xiang Yu thought for a moment, then gently shook her head:

"Forget it, I'll visit you during the summer vacation. You've worked hard enough in the countryside, how can I let you run around like this?"

Xiang Yu had heard before that people sent to the countryside suffered a lot, but that was just hearsay and she didn't really feel it.

Now that it's her friend who's going to the countryside, she realizes how heartbroken she is.

"Alright, alright. Your health has never been very good. After you go to the countryside, don't rush to do all the heavy and tiring work, okay?"

You should, like my parents said, give some gifts to the village leaders so they can arrange some easy work for you…

Halfway through her sentence, she paused, then seemed to realize she had been too blunt. Wasn't this encouraging opportunism? She blushed with embarrassment.

Zhu Qing looked at her with amusement and burst out laughing.

"Okay, Teacher Xiang, I've noted it all down. But please don't let anyone know what you were thinking, otherwise they might suspect you're corrupting your students!"

Xiang Yu felt even more embarrassed after hearing what she said.

"Fine, fine, I'm ignoring you!"

"Oh dear, my little fish, I know you mean well and are only worried about me. You wouldn't do this to anyone else, would you?"

"snort!"

Xiang Yu was unconvinced, but her actions betrayed her, and she obediently sat down next to Zhu Qinghao.

Zhu Qinghao found her best friend's arrogant demeanor amusing, but dared not laugh too obviously.

After the two of them played around for a while, Zhu Qinghao asked Xiang Yu for paper and pen, intending to make a list of what to buy.

Xiang Yu was also very interested in this matter and took the initiative to go to her side to act as an advisor.

"...You need the face cream too. You have to work, so you need to take good care of your hands and face, understand?"

"...I don't know how many sanitary napkins I can buy at the Friendship Store, so I need to stock up on menstrual pads, toilet paper, and cotton balls..."

The two of them took turns thinking and writing, and it took them half an hour to list out basically everything they could think of.

Flawed fabric is the biggest expense; the whole family relies on it for making clothes, sheets, and duvet covers, including coarse outerwear and fine cotton innerwear, so you should buy as much as possible.

Then there are all kinds of toiletries and cleaning supplies, such as towels, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, laundry detergent, floral water, face cream, clam oil, etc. Five sets are prepared for each person. In addition, we received a lot from the Zhu family villa before, so it should be enough for the family to use for a year and a half.

There are also menstrual belts and cotton balls specifically for women. The menstrual belts are reusable, but she still wanted to prepare more, so she prepared ten for herself.
