"At most I'll just distance myself from the matter. It doesn't matter. It's better for me to suffer alone than for our whole family to suffer."
Wei Yuxiu was obviously persuaded. She bit her tongue and said, "Then let's do as you say!"
Zhang Zhong did not shy away from Lu Qingyang's questioning and just sighed.
"Brother Lu, come with me. You are trustworthy."
Zhang Zhong dug open the corner of the cowshed and took out the blue cloth.
Blow off the dust on top and open the blue cloth.
Lu Qingyang leaned over to take a look, and inside was actually an imperial green bracelet.
Judging from its condition, it must be worth a lot of money now.
But now... I'm afraid no one wants this thing.
"This is a family heirloom that I hid away. Brother Lu, if you have any connections, could you please sell it on the black market? It doesn't matter how much it sells for, as long as I can get some money. I also know that in this world... you can't buy anything with money."
Zhang Zhong said sincerely, "Use the money from the sale to take care of things, and keep the rest for yourself. You know, it's not easy for me to get out of the team, and many people are watching me."
Lu Qingyang picked up the bracelet and held it in front of the candle to take a look.
This does look old. This kind of jade has not only its own value, but also the value of the dynasty.
The older it is, the more valuable it is.
Zhang Zhong explained: "My ancestors worked in the palace. This is a good thing brought out from the palace. Who would have thought that such a good thing would not be exchanged for a bag of rice now? Brother Lu, can you help me?"
"Yes, I can help you, but you can keep this bracelet for now."
Zhang Zhong directly stuffed it into Lu Qingyang's hand and said, "No, you have to take it! We are asking you to do something, you can handle it however you want, as long as you can exchange it for some money and take care of it."
The two pushed each other and Zhang Zhong was almost dropped to the ground.
Even if Lu Qingyang had poor eyesight, he would be attracted by this bracelet as soon as he saw it.
This proves that this is indeed a good thing, but good things often bring disaster.
It would be more practical to put it in his space.
"Okay, I'll take it. I'll try to find some connections and see if this can work!"
He carefully put the imperial green bracelet into his bag.
"Just wait for my good news!"
Zhang Zhong hesitated for a long time before making a decision.
He knelt down in front of Lu Qingyang and said, "Brother Lu, I'll leave everything to you."
This kneeling was too heavy, and Lu Qingyang could only quickly help him up.
"It's not that serious. Get up quickly! You're going to shorten my life!"
Zhang Zhong was so frightened that he stood up immediately: "That's not what I meant."
"A man's knees are made of gold. Brother Zhang, don't kneel down easily to anyone except your parents and elders."
Zhang Zhong smiled bitterly: "I understand."
When they were first criticized, they were tortured terribly.
The bit of blood in Zhang Zhong had long been worn away.
Lu Qingyang's firm words ignited a flame in her heart.
Wei Yuxiu wrote a letter and asked Lu Qingyang to pass it to her family.
After Lu Qingyang left, the Koreans cooked and ate the dumplings.
Wei Yuxiu's eyes were red as she ate the dumplings: "They are so delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious dumplings in a long time."
"Then eat more."
"Do you think Brother Lu can handle this?"
"Don't worry, I may not be very successful, but my vision is not wrong. Brother Lu will definitely make this happen. Just wait for good news!"
Now his only hope is that his wife and children can escape from this suffering.
Wei Yuxiu's parents' home is not here, but in the advancing team.
It seems that I must find some time to join the team as soon as possible.
…
As the Chinese New Year approached, the educated youth in the Youth Home also received news that they could go to the commune's bathhouse to take a bath.
There is no bathhouse in Liuxi Team. If you want to take a bath, you can only hide from others and wipe your body casually, but it is impossible to wash thoroughly.
It's even more difficult to take a bath in winter.
The commune's bathhouse was opened for a few hours to provide bathing opportunities for the educated youth who went to the countryside.
Men take a bath on two days and women take a bath on two days.
As the day was almost coming, the educated youths began to pack up their things, ready to go to the bathhouse for a good bath, and the dirt on their bodies was probably all gone.
"It's so good! I'm stinking all over! I don't know how many days I haven't taken a shower. My body is itchy all over." The fat girl smelled the smell on her body and shook her head.
Jiang Wanwan rolled her eyes: "If you don't like to be clean, don't complain about not being able to take a shower. You can clean up by yourself!"
"Hey, Jiang Zhiqing, I haven't seen you take a shower many times, but your breath smells good, but your body is clean!"
"Compared to you, a sow is always cleaner." Jiang Wanwan glanced at her contemptuously.
The fat girl was so angry that she couldn't help but slap her twice.
Gu Ni held the fat girl back and said, "Ignore her. She's not necessarily that clean. You're much cleaner than her."
Just then, Shen Mo came over with a basin. She wanted to go to the commune with the group of female educated youth to take a bath.
Fatty was happy to take her with her, but when Gu Ni saw her, she felt awkward.
Shen Mo didn't hide anything and sniffed Jiang Wanwan directly.
Immediately made a disgusted expression: "Your smell is irritating me. I suggest you rub it more, especially this stinky mouth. You need to brush it a few more times to get it clean!"
Jiang Wanwan usually looks calm and composed, but this time, she was so angry at Shen Mo that she was gasping for breath, with her chest heaving violently.
"How clean can you be? You are not an educated youth, so why should we take a bath together?"
Liu Chunhua beside him also said: "Yes, you are not qualified to go with us!"
There is a deep hatred between the two. All the suffering Liu Chunhua suffered last time was caused by Shen Mo. She is becoming more and more disgusted with her and will definitely target her!
Shen Mo put the basin on Liu Chunhua's head: "If you don't want to go, then don't go. I don't care!"
The fat girl hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Hey, Shen Mo, aren't you going?"
"No, I'll find a way myself!"
She felt uncomfortable seeing the two women taking a bath together.
Gu Ni and Fatty didn't plan to go on the same day, and planned to go tomorrow.
The fat girl came to Shen Mo's side and whispered, "How about you and I go tomorrow?"
"No! Otherwise people will gossip about me!"
Shen Mo turned her head away proudly. She didn't like taking a bath with so many people.
But grandma said that it would be warmer if she went to the bathhouse with the educated female youth.
Normally, she would wipe her body often at home, but it was just cold.
I would rather freeze than go.
Shen Mo was angry all morning.
She planned to heat some water herself and take a simple bath.
Heating water is easy; the hardest part is keeping the water warm.
She suddenly thought of Lu Qingyang. He never had any bad smell on his body, and she once saw a bathtub in the place where he lived.
I guess Lu Qingyang must take a bath frequently, so why not go to his place and take a bath?
When Lu Qingyang heard that the 꺶 family was going to the commune to take a bath, he had no interest at all.
Besides, he is an individual, and an individual is not suitable to take a bath in a public bathhouse.
But Shen Mo came to him in a hurry, "Lu Qingyang, I want to take a bath here? Do you mind?"
Lu Qingyang swallowed his saliva and asked, "Why don't you go with the female educated youth?"
"I don't want to. Liu Chunhua and Jiang Wanwan are both too talkative. They hate it and say they want to complain. I won't go. I'll wash here with you!"
Lu Qingyang usually takes a bath in spiritual spring water, so he doesn't feel cold.
Shen Mo took a bath here, but it was a bit difficult.
Some images that shouldn't have appeared popped up in his mind, of a man and a woman alone.
"But you are not allowed to peek. You taught me that!"
Lu Qingyang stretched out his hand and wanted to flick her nose, but Shen Mo dodged it.
"You're still hiding! You're just a little brat, I'm peeking at you, just kidding!"
Lu Qingyang's eyes were vague and uncertain, hiding his inner uneasiness.
"Who said that? I'm not a brat. Grandma calculated for me and according to the lunar calendar, I didn't have a birthday, but according to the solar calendar, I'm an adult! I'm eighteen years old, so you're not allowed to call me a brat."
Her puffy face looked like a puffer fish about to explode.
Little Jasmine has actually grown up, and it seems that she is also counting the days.
