At this time, all the educated youth in the educated youth camp had finished their meals and were resting.
The autumn harvest lasted for more than a month, and the educated youth were exhausted.
According to the practice of previous years, the next step is to be busy with winter storage. We have to prepare firewood, food, vegetables, game, snacks, etc. for the winter before the heavy snow blocks the mountains.
Therefore, they have to take the time to relax and recover their strength.
The educated youth site in Donglin Brigade was not very big, with two rows of houses and six rooms in total.
In recent years, as the educated youth got married or returned to the city through connections, only eleven educated youth, five women and six men, were left living in the educated youth site.
Chen Ruxue went to the countryside in 1974. She was only seventeen years old then. Now she is eighteen years old and is married.
Huang Jiahui, who was good friends with her at the educated youth point, actually went to the countryside with her in the same group. Huang Jiahui was from Jing City and her family was a famous medical family.
As for the other two male educated youth in the same group, Chen Ruxue had little contact with them.
As new educated youth, Chen Ruxue and her friends were targeted by the old educated youth as soon as they arrived. Fortunately, the newcomers were united, and gradually, the old educated youth no longer dared to cause trouble.
When they first arrived at the educated youth point, Chen Ruxue, Huang Jiahui and Zheng Liqing, an old educated youth with a good personality, were assigned to live in the same room.
After more than a year together, the three of them were quite harmonious and had few conflicts. Later, Chen Ruxue got married, leaving Huang Jiahui and Zheng Liqing alone, and things became much quieter.
At this moment, Huang Jiahui was pulling Zheng Liqing and talking about some gossip they had heard about the village when she heard someone calling her name at the door.
The voice sounded familiar, "Liqing, it's Ruxue."
Huang Jiahui quickly opened the door and went out to greet him.
"Ruxue, you are finally here. I have been thinking about you all the time. I have asked all the questions you asked me to ask. Come in quickly. I will give you the letter written by my grandfather." After saying that, he took Chen Ruxue's hand and went straight into their room.
"Sister Liqing, I'm here."
"Okay, sit down quickly. We've been busy with the autumn harvest and haven't had a good chat for several days. I'll get some melon seeds, and we can talk while we eat them." Zheng Liqing walked to a low cabinet, reached out to open the cabinet door, took out a small bag of melon seeds, and spread it on the kang.
Chen Ruxue didn't hesitate to reach out, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started eating.
"These melon seeds are fried to the perfect temperature, not too high or too low. They're really delicious. Sister Li Qing, did you fry these yourself? You're amazing."
"That's right. Don't you see who our Sister Li Qing is? She can work in the fields to earn work points and can also cook in the kitchen. If anyone can marry Sister Li Qing in the future, they will be envied to death."
"Go away, little girl, you liar. We are the same age, why are you calling me sister?"
"One day older, I'm still the elder. One day older, I'm still the elder sister. Ruxue, don't you agree?"
"Yes, yes, sisters, I am here to greet you."
He looked like a mischievous boy, which made Huang Jiahui and Zheng Liqing laugh.
Suddenly, Huang Jiahui pinched Chen Ruxue's little face, looked left and right, and then said to Zheng Liqing: "Sister Liqing, have you noticed that Ruxue has become much more lively and cheerful after getting married? She can even make people laugh. She was never like this before.
Could it be...could it be that my brother-in-law taught me well, hahahaha!"
Chen Ruxue's heart was in her throat... It was unbelievable. She was almost scared to death and thought she was exposed!
No, she couldn't stay here any longer, business was more important.
"Ahem! Sister Jiahui, can you let me see your grandfather's letter?"
"Ah! Look at me, I forgot about this. Here you go." Huang Jiahui hurriedly took out a letter from under the quilt and handed it to Chen Ruxue.
Chen Ruxue took the letter, read it quickly, and thanked her: "Thank you, Sister Jiahui. With this prescription, I can go to the commune to get the medicine. If the commune doesn't have it, I will have to go to the county.
I won’t tell you anymore, I’ll go right away. When I come back, I’ll bring you two some delicious food!”
Watching Chen Ruxue leave, Huang Jiahui and Zheng Liqing exchanged a glance, "I hope she gets what she wants!"
Chen Ruxue did not go home, but went directly to the brigade headquarters, borrowed a bicycle from the brigade, and rushed to the commune.
Of course, the excuse was to go to town to get prescriptions filled.
Relying on his memory, Chen Ruxue rushed all the way and finally arrived at the Red Star Commune.
At the first stop, Chen Ruxue went to a state-owned restaurant. There was no other way. She had worked so hard that she got hungry quickly and had to eat something.
She arrived at exactly 11 o'clock in the morning, the time when the state-owned restaurant opened for lunch.
Following the names of the dishes on the blackboard, Chen Ruxue ordered a dish of braised pork with potatoes, a dish of spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and a large bowl of white rice. She paid the bill and waited at the empty table next to her.
Soon, the food was ready and served on the table. Chen Ruxue started eating with big mouthfuls, as if she hadn't eaten for several meals.
Chen Ruxue was really hungry, and she hadn't eaten meat for several days, so she ate very quickly. In a short while, she had finished two plates of vegetables and a big bowl of rice.
After eating, the next stop was the only pharmacy in the commune. She bought the medicine according to the prescription in the letter. Only then did Chen Ruxue slow down and think about where to go next.
Unfortunately, she couldn't figure it out for a long time. There was no point going to the scrap yard. Not only might she not find anything, but even if she did, how much could she fit into her pitifully small space?
However, thinking of the space, Chen Ruxue suddenly perked up. She still had the system, didn't she? Didn't Xiao De say that as long as she did good deeds, she could earn points and merit? Anyway, it was still early, so she might as well ride her bike and wander around the streets, just in case she really ran into someone who needed help.
Thinking of this, Chen Ruxue lifted her leg, stepped on her bicycle, and strolled around the commune road.
However, after walking around for quite some time, Chen Ruxue didn't meet anyone who needed help, and she couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Maybe doing good deeds can't be done deliberately, but should be done naturally! Otherwise, should we go back to the village first?
Just as she turned her bike around and was about to ride back, she heard a burst of cursing coming from a small alley not far ahead.
"You damn old woman, hurry up and hand over all the good things in your house to me, otherwise, I will make you pay."
"That's right, that's right. Why would an old woman with no children hide so many treasures? It would be better to give them to you two brothers. We can exchange them for money and give you some food."
"You two bastards, you've ripped off so much of me, and you still have the nerve to ask me for more? I don't have anything to give you."
"Old woman, stop talking nonsense. You must be hiding something. Don't treat us like fools. If you don't want to suffer today, you'd better hand over everything. Otherwise, hey, look at this?
We spent a lot of time to find these. I heard that eating these things would make a strong man collapse, let alone an old lady like you who is over sixty years old. "
