Fortunately, the people in the village were transporting food back and forth and did not pay attention to them. In addition, it was already late, so he did not continue to talk nonsense with his youngest son. He sent Captain Cheng to move the food, and followed him to help hold the cart.
Although Cheng Fangyuan was taught a lesson, he could not get angry with his father and mother. Not only did he swallow the loss, he also ran over to help them load the food onto the cart. Only when the cart was full did Cheng Fangzheng and Captain Cheng push the food back.
After finishing all this, he came to Song Tanglan and transported their food together.
Song Tanglan just thought that the three of them had something to talk about in private, so after receiving the food, he waited at the door and did not go forward to disturb them.
Su Tao and the others planned to deliver the food to the tree stump where the food they had just received was. Song Tangcheng was there helping them watch over it.
Sun Jianhua asked the two female educated youth to stay where they were and watch over the food while they carried the food and walked over there. But this was just their idea. Su Tao thought that it would be enough to have someone stay there and watch over the food, so she carried her own food and followed the two men.
Song Tanglan was once again shocked by Su Tao's strength. Looking at that small figure carrying 100 kilograms of food and walking briskly, she seemed particularly insignificant.
Fortunately, I have been hit by her countless times and have slowly accepted this fact.
When Song Tangcheng saw Su Tao carrying 100 kilograms of food without even breathing hard, he suddenly understood why she said Yu He was weak. With her appearance, she could not compare to any thin or strong man.
The three of them ran back and forth several times and finally transported all the food. The eyes of the people around them were all on them, especially Su Tao and the other two. They had just built a house and now they could come up with such a large sum of money to buy food. Many people looked at them with envy and jealousy.
Song Tanglan also noticed a few unpleasant gazes lingering on them. Only then did she feel a little regretful. She shouldn't have bought so many things just now. She suddenly forgot about this matter because she was so happy.
Now that I'm being targeted by thieves, I guess I have to keep a low profile.
Song Tangcheng had noticed the gazes of the people around her a long time ago, but this was a decision made by Sun Jianhua and the others themselves, so as an outsider, she couldn't say much. As for her younger sister, considering their family's status in the brigade.
She wasn't afraid of her younger sister getting into any danger on the team. Even though she looked dull, she was actually quite sharp! How could she not notice someone else's selfish motives and deliberate approach?
Sun Jianhua had actually thought about this before exchanging food, but the team had no obligation to lend them so much food. What's more, the borrowed food had to be repaid with next year's points. So what would he eat the year after next?
In the end, after going around in circles, they still came to a dead end, and the team was unlikely to lend them so much food, so the three of them discussed it and decided to spend money to exchange for more food.
After that, keep a low profile. Once these things are over, everyone in the team will forget about them.
Cheng Fangyuan borrowed a cart and put all his own grain on it, then transported it back, and then lent the cart to Sun Jianhua and others.
However, a lot of food was bought this time, not just the three of them. Tian Yulan from the Youth League Home also spent money to buy a lot, but the quantity was not as much as theirs. Others only bought a little, or borrowed with work points.
However, you can't borrow much using work points, and the work points have to be repaid within half a year.
…
After the food was replaced, the Red Star Brigade resumed its usual wintering life. From that day on, the temperature not only dropped rapidly, but also heavy snow fell from the sky from time to time.
I had thought that life would be so peaceful until the Spring Festival, but unexpectedly in mid-December, the Red Star Brigade received news from the commune that more educated youth had gone to the countryside.
They were required to pick up the person in 5 days. Everyone was surprised and thoughtful when they heard the news.
There are really not many people who go to the countryside in such bad weather, not to mention that it is snowing here and it is difficult for ox carts to travel on the road.
Cheng Fangyuan had just heard the news from the old house and returned to his small home with a bad look on his face. The two sisters saw him asking curiously.
When they heard the news, their expressions varied.
Song Tanglan didn't expect that there would be people going to the countryside at this time, especially when she heard from her second brother-in-law that this group was coming from the provincial capital, and the number of people had not been confirmed yet. She thought about the few vacancies that had been finally vacated in the Youth League Home, and she didn't know if they were enough to accommodate them.
The three of them chatted briefly for a few more sentences, and seeing that they had nothing to do, Song Tanglan decided to find Su Tao and tell him the news.
Because they bought grain so ostentatiously that day, the team discussed them for a long time. Fortunately, new educated youth have arrived now, and their target will soon shift. They will have new topics to talk about, and perhaps their high-profile behavior will gradually be forgotten.
"Taotao, I'm here to chat with you."
"Come in quickly, it's too cold outside. I don't want to get out of bed." Su Tao looked at Song Tanglan who was wrapped tightly from head to toe. If it weren't for the voice and those eyes, she would have thought that it was a snowball that had become a spirit.
"My second brother-in-law just said that there are new educated youth going to the countryside in five days. I heard that they are coming from the provincial capital this time, but I don't know how many people there are this time."
Song Tanglan closed the door, took off her scarf, picked up the hot water that Su Tao poured for her, and drank it in one gulp. The hot water immediately brought warmth to her body.
Su Tao was a little surprised when she heard the news. "Why are you here at this time? There are not many beds left in the Youth Hostel. Do you think you will ask to live with us if there is no room for you?"
