Chapter 20: Books are definitely more important than meat!
The goods had already arrived in Qingcheng County, and Yin Xiaoyin was naturally eager to pick them up.
She found the village chief and said that she would definitely not delay the work in the fields and asked to ask for half a day off to go to Qingcheng County.
The village chief could see Yin Xiaoyin's performance after she went to the countryside.
Moreover, the girl said that the books and meat were sent from her home, all of which were precious items.
He also knew about the arrival of Yin Xiaoyin's mother, Liang Min, who was an elegant lady completely different from the women in the village.
He didn't ask why Liang Min didn't bring all the bags herself when she came to greet him.
Because after thinking about it, he realized that he couldn't quite imagine such a scene.
No, it's not suitable.
Yin Xiaoyin still hitched a ride on Uncle Wu's donkey cart to Qingcheng County. When Uncle Wu saw the post office staff helping out and carrying over one package after another, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Xiaoyin, how much stuff did your parents send you...?"
Yin Xiaoyin's eyes were already on the boxes of books. She looked up, somewhat bewildered, and asked, "It's just some food, is it alright?"
She patted the boxes of books, and her eyes, which were just like Liang Minying's, curved into a smile: "These are more important."
Uncle Wu glanced at the box along the way, then at the packages containing fine grains and meat. He couldn't understand it; he still felt that grain was much more valuable than those worthless pieces of paper.
"not understand."
Yin Xiaoyin smiled gently: "Uncle Wu, let's go back..."
After Uncle Wu finished delivering the goods to Qingcheng County, he said, "Hey, old friend, let's go back to Hongye Village."
Driving a donkey cart, with a gentle breeze and a slightly dry atmosphere, offers a unique experience.
Everyone in the village, from the educated youth settlement, knew that Yin Xiaoyin had gone to Qingcheng County to pick up some things today. Yin Wenying and Ji Yueyan brushed past each other: "Yueyan, you've been so concerned about Xiaoyin, even helping her with chores. What, she didn't take you with her to the city for such a good thing?"
Ji Yueyan was too lazy to pay attention to Yin Wenying; she could only avoid her if she couldn't afford to offend her.
Yin Wenying has been feeling somewhat uneasy since yesterday.
She kept thinking that she wished she were Liang Minying's daughter.
But she wasn't.
She could only watch as Yin Xiaoyin received all the pampering.
That's fine, but even though I arrived at Red Leaf Village first, the village chief is clearly taking better care of Yin Xiaoyin now.
It's clearly not allowed to take leave during the autumn harvest, so why did the village chief agree to let Yin Xiaoyin take leave? Moreover, he even specially arranged for her to ride in Uncle Wu's car.
It's important to understand that in those days, not everyone could ride in these special donkey carts; most people relied entirely on their own two legs to travel between the county and the countryside.
The village chief's family owns a 28-inch bicycle, which is something that many working-class families in Qingcheng County cannot afford.
That was a special reward for his son's second-class merit; it was an honor for the village chief. No one but him could touch that car.
Uncle Wu parked the donkey cart at the educated youth settlement and helped carry the things inside. Yin Xiaoyin gave Uncle Wu a bag of biscuits: "Uncle Wu, if it weren't for your help today, I wouldn't have been able to bring all these things back. Please accept this small token of my appreciation..."
Uncle Wu kept backing away. If it weren't for Yin Xiaoyin's herbicide, their village's cornfields would still be in turmoil. He was grateful, so he was willing to help.
Otherwise, an old household like him, supporting his old friends, wouldn't bother to listen to the village chief's words.
Yin Xiaoyin pretended to be angry: "Uncle Wu, I'll need your help more often in the future. If you don't accept my help, I won't dare to ask you for help again."
Uncle Wu glanced at the yard full of things and thought for a moment. Who could this girl have asked to bring back so many things? He couldn't just leave without helping.
So he scratched his head, reached out and took it. Seeing Yin Xiaoyin's big little face, which looked like a bright sunflower, he couldn't help but feel much better.
This bag of biscuits was a valuable item for Uncle Wu; he remembered it cost one yuan in the department store in the county...
This packaging is even better than that one, but it's probably more expensive...
As he drove the donkey cart home, he found himself in an exceptionally good mood, not because of the cookies Yin Xiaoyin had given him, but because Yin Xiaoyin had accepted his kindness and treated him with sincerity.
In the courtyard of the educated youth settlement, Yin Xiaoyin was like a busy little bee, constantly moving things into her room.
"It's all thanks to Uncle Wu. Otherwise, with all this trouble, even if I got back quickly, it would have taken a whole day."
But looking up now, it's only midday, and the people in the fields have probably already found a shady spot for their midday rest.
With half the afternoon still to go, Yin Xiaoyin felt that she definitely wouldn't be late for the rest of the farm work.
After moving most of the things inside the house so they wouldn't block the way in the yard, Yin Xiaoyin quickly changed her clothes, grabbed some water, and hurried off to the fields.
Along the way, they encountered children who all greeted Yin Xiaoyin happily.
After all, candy is the best bridge to getting along with children.
Yin Xiaoyin smiled and pulled a handful of candy from her pocket: "Last time I said that whoever can count from one to one hundred, I can give it to them..."
The children immediately raised their hands eagerly: "Sister Xiaoyin, I, I can..."
A group of people arrived at the field in a lively atmosphere. Yin Xiaoyin saw the village chief and called out, "Village chief, I'm back! I'll start working now..."
The village chief glanced at his pipe again, his face still expressionless, and simply grunted in response.
Ji Yueyan ran over, frowning, "Why did you come when it's so hot? We'll do it later, I'll keep you company."
Yin Xiaoyin immediately pulled her hand, and Ji Yueyan felt something being stuffed into her palm. She looked in surprise and realized it was candy.
She felt both annoyed and amused: "I'm not a child."
Although I really want to eat candy, it's not for the sake of candy being good to her.
Yin Xiaoyin immediately unwrapped the candy and stuffed it into her mouth, saying, "I managed to save this from a group of kids. It's so hot, it won't taste good if it melts. Eat it quickly."
Ji Yueyan felt a cool sensation rise in her mouth in an instant; it was a mint candy.
Meanwhile, Yin Xiaoyin had already picked up a sickle and started working under the scorching summer sun.
If it were a robot, it wouldn't care about the sun's temperature, but now, it felt its entire back burning from the sun. However, Yin Xiaoyin is a person of her word, so she's working hard now so that everyone can finish work in time and go home to read the books her mother sent.
Ji Yueyan watched Yin Xiaoyin wiping away sweat as she harvested wheat with perfect technique, and before she knew it, her eyes were filled with a smile.
It feels like I first met this little girl yesterday. Back then, she was like a proud princess, with her chin slightly raised, making her seem unapproachable.
