"This bullock cart is so broken, so small, and smells so bad. How can it hold so many people?"

Mo Juan, Ye Feixue and several other educated youth appeared near the ox cart.

When Mo Juan saw that Song Fuyu had already gotten into the car, she couldn't help but start finding fault with him.

She didn't dare to say anything directly to Song Fuyu now, so she could only complain about the ox cart.

Little did she know that her disdainful words would make Uncle Lin who was sitting in front of her very angry.

The team leader bought this cow because he took into consideration that the boy was a retired soldier due to injury, had difficulty walking due to his age, and could not do too much heavy work alone. So he applied to the commune and asked him to buy a cow to be responsible for the daily commuting from the village to the town.

This ox has been with him for seven or eight years and has long been like a family member to him. Naturally, he cannot accept anyone saying this about his ox cart, and cannot allow anyone to slander his partner.

"My lady, since you despise my ox cart so much, no matter how much money you give me today, I, Old Lin, will not agree to let you ride on my ox cart."

"Go to town on your own. You are not welcome here."

"That's right. If you dislike it so much, then don't take it. If it weren't for Uncle Lin and his ox cart in our village, it would take us two hours to walk to the town."

Although it costs two cents to ride the ox cart, the villagers are more grateful to Uncle Lin.

Because if someone needs to bring something back home from the town, Uncle Lin will help bring it back without complaint. He doesn't charge for small items, and for larger items he only charges a fee, which is just a few cents or a dime.

"There are three seats left. Do you other educated youth want to take one? If not, we will leave."

Uncle Lin didn't even look at anyone else, he just turned around and sat in the "driver's seat".

Xia Lan and Wang Menghan, who came with Mo Juan and the others, heard Uncle Lin's words and climbed into the car without hesitation.

Although there was still a spot available, there were three other people below, and they were obviously together, so Uncle Lin did not continue waiting.

"De De~"

At the command, the old cow began to move forward.

"Humph, if you don't want to sit down, then don't sit down. You're acting like you're being taken advantage of."

Mo Juan watched the ox cart go away and stomped her feet in anger.

"What do we do now?"

Ye Feixue glanced at Xiao Jun beside her, feeling very aggrieved.

There was obviously another spot, and if it weren’t for Mo Juan, she should have been able to get up there too.

But now the ox cart has already left, and we can’t just chase after it, that would be too embarrassing.

"Feixue, how about I go and borrow a bicycle from the captain? I remember they seem to have one at home."

Xiao Jun gave his opinion. He didn't really want to walk for two hours.

"How could the captain lend us the car?"

I have to say that Ye Feixue is quite self-aware.

Wang Zhiyong was already extremely annoyed with what had happened to them recently, and there was no way he would lend his precious bicycle to these troublesome people.

"Forget it, let's go next time I have a holiday. I'm a little tired."

He was already exhausted from working every day, and now he had to walk to the town. The thought of walking to the town made him tired. Even though he wanted to go to the town to take a look, Ye Feixue gave up the idea because of the long journey.

On the other side, several people sitting on the ox cart were talking and laughing along the way, completely ignoring the expressions of the people behind them who did not get on the cart.

After driving for about fifty minutes, the ox cart stopped at the entrance of the town.

"Gather here at 10:30. Those who are late will have to find a way to get back on their own."

After a few people got off the car, they dispersed directly, and Uncle Lin also parked the ox cart at a special free parking spot.

"Sister Fu Yu, how about I accompany you to the supply and marketing cooperative first? I just need to send a letter."

"No, the post office and the supply and marketing cooperative are not on the same route, and time is tight. You should go directly to the post office to give it to your family. We will meet in front of the state-owned hotel later."

"Okay then, I'm going to the post office now, please be careful."

After separating from Tong Youyou, Song Fuyu quickly came to the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Sister Hongyun, have all the things I ordered arrived?"

When Lai Hongyun saw Song Fuyu coming, she quickly stood up and greeted her enthusiastically.

"You came just in time. They were just shipped in yesterday afternoon. They are all in the warehouse at the back."

"You can take the rest today, but you'll have to wait a week for the coal."

When saying this, Lai Hongyun deliberately lowered his voice.

"I can't carry so many things by myself, so when you deliver the coal, please bring it to me as well."

"Okay, I'll bring it with you then."

"Is there anything you need today? I'll get it for you."

"Then please bring me a smallest pot, a clay pot, a kerosene lamp, and half a pound of lamp oil."

Lai Hongyun quickly got all the things for her.

Song Fuyu looked around at the counter and bought some candies, peanuts and melon seeds that would be needed for the beam raising. After paying the bill, he took the things and left the supply and marketing cooperative.

She found a deserted place, put the small pot into the space, and picked up the other things in her hands.

The state-owned restaurant in the town was not far from the supply and marketing cooperative, only seven or eight minutes' walk away. When Tong Youyou arrived at the restaurant, she had already sent the letter and was waiting at the door.

"Don't stand there, come in."

Today, because I had to rush to the village entrance to take the ox cart, I did not go to Gu's house for breakfast. At this moment, my stomach was growling with hunger.

She glanced at the small blackboard behind the restaurant counter, which listed all the dishes served that day.

"Comrade, please give me a small bowl of fresh meat wontons."

"I want a small bowl of shredded pork noodles."

"Wontons cost 1.5 yuan plus one ounce of food coupons, and shredded pork noodles cost 1.2 yuan plus two ounces of food coupons."

The two men placed the money on the counter.

"Song Zhiqing, Tong Zhiqing, this way."

Wang Menghan, who had already ordered her food, waved to the two of them. Xia Lan was sitting opposite her.

Seeing that the other party greeted them, Song Fuyu and Tong Youyou did not hesitate and sat down next to them.

Both Xia Lan and Wang Menghan are nice people, not the type to look for trouble.

"You didn't have breakfast either?"

"Well, the Gu family usually doesn't eat until after 6:30. I left early today, so I won't go over to eat."

"The Gu family is a relatively kind family. You may not know that the two families that Ye Feixue and Mo Juan lived with not only had poor food, but also very little food for each meal. They have already started looking for a new family."

Song Fuyu just smiled faintly.

She didn't care too much about what would happen to them. After all, they were the ones who caused the incident, and now they were just bearing the consequences of their willfulness.
