Only then did Song Tanglan disobey Xu Qi. Although he could get these things, his mother had said that they were for him, so there was no reason for him to take them himself.
Besides, she is not short of these things now. Song Tanglan thought of her full space. She spent a lot of time in City A during this period and stocked up a lot of goods on the black market.
She even went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative Department Store several times and packed up a lot of food from two other state-owned restaurants.
Although the food prepared by their two chefs is not as delicious as the one where my third sister works, it is the most convenient and they don’t have to explain so much to others.
In the afternoon, Song Tanglan saw Xu Qi off and went back to her room to catch up on some sleep. After waking up, she saw that Su Tao and the others had also finished work, so she hurried to find them and brought them some gifts.
When Su Tao saw her good friend coming back, she happily hugged her and said.
"Lanlan, when did you come back?"
"I arrived at noon, Taotao, and I brought you gifts!"
After saying that, he distributed the things he had found during this period to several people. The gifts were not very expensive, but they were very much to their liking.
"Thank you, Lanlan. I really like the gifts you brought back. By the way, I have good news for you. We have applied to the Youth League Office for permission to go home to visit our relatives this year, and it has been approved. After the autumn harvest, we can pack up and go back to the city to visit our relatives."
"So soon? Then congratulations." Song Tanglan was not only slightly surprised but also happy for them. He had heard from the old educated youth that it took them a year to apply.
"Yes, then the three of us can take the train together." Su Tao was very happy because she didn't expect that there would be someone to accompany her when she went back.
Moreover, it was after the autumn harvest, so they could get much more vacation time than Song Tanglan.
Sun Jianhua thought about this and said, "Alan, we've been delayed for more than two months this time. We just need to calculate the time and come back after the New Year."
Yu He couldn't help but feel happy when the thought of returning to the city came up. "Then we can have some fun at home, and we can even go back south for a winter where it won't be so cold. We won't even need to prepare so much firewood. Just thinking about it makes me happy."
Song Tanglan's mouth twitched at his smug look. It was true that others were thinking about how to bring more things back to the city, but he just wanted to do less work.
Jiang Shubai did not apply to return to the city to visit his relatives this time. They were not in the same batch, so it was not surprising that he was not approved.
In addition, the current situation at home is unclear. He received a strange letter some time ago, and none of the letters he sent back home have been sent back since then.
If he hadn't heard from others that everything was safe at home, he would have suspected that something had happened at home.
…
Song Tanglan chatted with them for a long time again. This time they didn't study, but instead talked about gossip. Especially Su Tao, she told Song Tanglan everything that happened in the team during this period.
She also heard many topics that interested her, and she also told several people many things that happened in the city.
By the way, he also distributed some of the test papers he got to several people. These were brought back from the city specially. He believed that with them, everyone could make a lot of progress.
Song Tanglan was very happy to see this.
…
Since returning from her last visit to her relatives, Song Tanglan has returned to her previous peaceful life. Every day, apart from going to work, she stays at home to study, and occasionally goes up the mountain to pick some mushrooms and mountain products.
Gradually, a year passed, and it was time for the annual autumn harvest. The Northwest, which was suffering from food shortages, finally survived this period.
Although many people starved to death, at least it was not a large-scale disaster. As soon as the autumn harvest came, they would distribute grain to the farmers to fill their stomachs.
Because of this autumn harvest, grain prices have dropped back to their previous levels, but it is still difficult to buy grain in many places.
Su Tao has sent food to her grandparents' house several times this year. Combined with the food she sent home, she doesn't have much food left and can only wait anxiously for this food distribution.
After spending these days together, Song Tanglan and Xu Qi's feelings have grown deeper and deeper. Song Tanglan is now accustomed to his frequent requests for hugs and hand holdings.
When alone, someone will become even more presumptuous and keep coaxing the little white rabbit, trying to take the little rabbit back to the wolf's den.
But Song Tanglan was not in a hurry to get engaged and married, and she had never thought of agreeing to it so quickly.
…
"Why are you here?"
"Isn't your team having the autumn harvest today? Let me help you." Xu Qi said with a smile as he looked at the little girl who was covered tightly.
"I can do it alone. Aren't you busy?"
"You're not busy, you're just too tired. Don't forget that you always get heatstroke every time you harvest in autumn. With my help, you won't be so tired."
After Xu Qi finished, he looked around again and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he reached out and touched her head.
Song Tanglan thought about it and nodded: "Okay!"
After all, he is your partner, so it is only right that he helps you with work.
"Why don't you sit aside and rest for a while, and I'll take care of the rest."
"We don't need to work together. We've only been working for a short time and I'm not tired yet. Let's do more work before the sun comes out so we don't feel uncomfortable all over later."
The Red Star Brigade usually starts the autumn harvest two or three hours in advance. As soon as it gets light, everyone finishes breakfast and comes to harvest, so that they can do more work before the sun comes out.
It was the hottest time of the afternoon, so if you finished your work early you could go down earlier.
"Then just take your time and sit aside to rest when you get tired." Xu Qi's hands moved quickly and he broke a lot of corn and put it in the backpack.
Every time the autumn harvest came, there were a lot of fields to be assigned. Because Xu Qi joined in, we finished the whole day's tasks in just that morning.
After registering the work points, Song Tanglan rested for a while and then went to help Aunt Li, and asked Xu Qi to help his eldest sister.
Although Xu Ci was a scorekeeper, he also had to work in the fields during the autumn harvest, and even Captain Cheng was no exception.
Fortunately, she had someone to help her with the autumn harvest this year, so Song Tanglan suffered less pain. She was very happy about this and even prepared a gift to thank Xu Qi.
The autumn harvest was over, and after the weather had cooled down, Su Tao and the other two began packing their luggage and preparing to return to the city to visit their relatives.
