Now is the time to plant corn. Everyone is racing against time to plant the corn.
When we get off work, it is almost dark, and those who live far away even have to go home in the dark.
The sound from the Youth House woke up Qin Shuwan who was sleeping soundly in bed.
She sat up and looked at the time. She had slept for three hours and it was almost seven o'clock.
I quickly got up, put on my clothes, made my bed, and fixed my hair. Then I took my bag, which I had packed long ago, and a piece of pork belly that weighed one pound, and left the dormitory.
Spring plowing and autumn harvest are the most tiring. People are exhausted after working so hard, especially when the harvest season is not yet over, not to mention the oily and meaty ones.
Qin Shuwan carried the meat out of the dormitory, and many of the educated youths' eyes were glued to the piece of meat.
Even if you can't eat it, just look at it for a few more seconds.
Jiang Xin smiled and walked over to greet him, "Qin Zhiqing, you're back."
Qin Shuwan nodded and said, "Hmm."
Jiang Xin cleverly blocked Qin Shuwan's way and asked in a loud voice, "Qin Zhiqing, do you have a way to buy meat?"
Qin Shuwan glanced at Jiang Xin. Was she setting a trap for her?
"Meat is available in the county and towns. Anyone with a ticket and money can buy it! Do I need a special channel to buy this?
This is the first time I’ve heard of it. Can Jiang Zhiqing tell me more about it?
That way I don’t have to save money on tickets.”
Jiang Xin secretly cursed her in her heart, "What a fool!" If she had the ticket, would she still need to trick her here?
Jiang Xin cursed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She still smiled and said, "Hehe, what I mean is, does Qin Zhiqing have any extra meat tickets? Can you exchange some for me?
Everyone's life is too hard. Now we are doing spring plowing. There is too little food. We dare not eat too much. We sow seeds on an empty stomach. I came to the educated youth site and received a lot of care from everyone. I originally wanted to exchange some meat coupons with you to buy some meat and thank everyone. But it doesn't matter if you don't have it. After all, meat coupons are so precious.
I was abrupt, please don't be offended, Qin Zhiqing."
The other educated youths were quite touched when they heard Jiang Xin say this, but Tao Xiaolan scoffed at it.
She had seen Jiang Xin go to the state-owned restaurant several times to cook for herself, but she hadn't seen her thinking about everyone. Now she was talking nicely, using everyone as a pretext.
Qin Shuwan smiled and said, "Since you want to be a good person, I will help you!"
"I have a pound of meat here. Since Jiang Zhiqing is so thoughtful, I'll bear the pain and give it to you! I'll give you half a pound! I don't know what Jiang Zhiqing would like to exchange with me. After all, meat is rare nowadays. I won't exchange it if it's not of equal value!"
As for what the other educated youth would think, she didn't care at all. She didn't rely on them for food, so her attitude was none of her business.
Jiang Xin's face froze, and Tao Xiaolan was overjoyed. She quickly said, "Great, there's meat to eat! Thank you, Jiang Zhiqing!"
Several other educated youths who were a little thoughtful also quickly echoed and expressed their gratitude to Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin was put up like this. Qin Shuwan looked at Jiang Xin steadily, waiting for her answer.
Jiang Xin pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "I have half a bar of soap, do you think it's okay?"
Qin Shuwan frowned, "Jiang Zhiqing, if you want to thank everyone, why are you so stingy?
"You want to exchange half a bar of soap for half a pound of meat coupons? What are you thinking? If you don't really want to exchange, why are you stopping me? I still need to go home to eat."
Jiang Xin twitched her lips again and said, "Since I'm expressing my gratitude to everyone, I definitely want to exchange it sincerely, but I only have that half bar of soap in my hand right now, I..."
Tao Xiaolan took the opportunity to ask, "Jiang Zhiqing, don't you have a new ceramic jar?"
