Yi Xiaoqiu walked to the pile of books in the corner of the yard. She searched for a long time and finally found a few dirty textbooks.
There are elementary schools, junior high schools, and even high schools.
Just when Yi Xiaoqiu was searching hard, a man's voice came from behind him.
"Aren't you here for the newspaper?"
Yi Xiaoqiu looked up and saw the man standing behind him. She was shocked. Fortunately, she didn't put anything on the farm. "They are all paper, aren't they all the same?"
The man smiled but said nothing. "Hurry up and find it."
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded, no longer having any thoughts.
Originally, she was thinking about whether she could find any treasures in the scrap yard, but she didn't expect that the people here would watch so closely.
Is it because Qi Wei is not the heroine that she is not given any chance at all?
"Okay." Yi Xiaoqiu put a pile of books at the door.
She wasn't just looking for textbooks; she took any book that was still readable and intact.
Especially novels.
The man took a look and said nothing. He put the book into the basket and picked up the scale.
"Thirteen pounds and four ounces." Qing Ge pushed the pole in front of Yi Xiaoqiu and motioned her to look.
Yi Xiaoqiu took a quick look, she didn't recognize this old-fashioned scale.
"How much?"
"One catty of kilo costs one yuan and seventeen cents." Qing Ge took out the account book.
Yi Xiaoqiu glanced at the pile of books inside, his eyes full of regret. It was a pity to waste so many books when they were so cheap.
She didn't expect that finding books would be so easy. She basically got a complete set of textbooks from elementary school to high school.
Except English, of course.
When we came out of the scrap yard, it was already eleven o'clock.
It was not easy for her to come to the county town, and she was hungry. She didn't want to hide in the farm to eat today, so she simply had a meal in the state-owned restaurant and then went shopping in the shopping mall.
She has been here for a long time, but has never seen a shopping mall of this era. She will broaden her horizons later.
The state-owned restaurant is quite easy to find; just ask anyone passing by and they will know where it is.
Yi Xiaoqiu rode his bike for only a dozen minutes to reach the state-owned hotel.
As expected of a state-owned restaurant in the county town, it looks more impressive than the ones in the commune.
The tall gate, although only one storey, is much higher than the houses next to it. There are two large pillars made of blue bricks on both sides of the door, and a triangular shape is made on the gate between the large pillars.
In the middle of the triangle is a red oval star, and below the oval star are four large characters "State-owned Restaurant" written in red paint.
The main door in the middle is a four-leaf wooden-framed glass door painted red, which looks fashionable and elegant.
On both sides of the door are written "hard work" and "self-reliance".
When Yi Xiaoqiu arrived at the restaurant, it was time to order.
It was a little after noon and there were not many people in the restaurant. There were about ten tables, but only two were occupied.
At this time, people celebrate festivals at home and pay attention to family reunion.
Yi Xiaoqiu had been running around all morning and was already hungry.
She ran to the counter and glanced at the today's supply hanging on the wall.
There are fish, meat, green vegetables, cabbage, potatoes, soybeans, and tofu.
Yi Xiaoqiu is not obsessed with meat, but rarely eats tofu.
She ordered a plate of Mapo Tofu and a plate of pork and mushroom soup.
It is warm to drink some soup in winter.
One dish and one soup are enough for one person.
Yi Xiaoqiu then asked for three taels of rice. It wasn't much, but for a girl, it was not a small amount either.
The waiter looked at Yi Xiaoqiu a few more times.
This girl looks small, but she eats a lot.
Three ounces of rice is enough for a big man to eat.
"Tofu is two cents, mushroom soup is three cents, rice is one cent plus three taels of food coupons, a total of one cent plus three taels of food coupons." The waiter quickly counted the money.
The price is about the same as in the commune.
Although it is not expensive, food coupons are hard to come by.
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't have three taels of food coupons, but she did have a few one-jin ones. These were the smallest denomination food coupons that she had specifically asked Shen Ruofei to exchange for.
Shen Ruofei resells in large quantities, and most of the bills on her hands are large-denomination bills.
Yi Xiaoqiu gave the one-pound food coupon and the money to the waiter, who then found a 10-liang food coupon and a 10-liang food coupon.
Yi Xiaoqiu took the food coupons and looked up, and saw an acquaintance coming in at the door.
Ji Shuyan found a brother in the early morning team, and planned to get an identity from him that would facilitate his travel around the area.
Just after the talk, it was time for dinner, and he was dragged to a state-owned restaurant. Zhao Junting insisted that he be treated to a meal outside, saying that eating at the company did not reflect his sincerity.
As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw the familiar figure in front of the counter.
Before he could say anything, Zhu Jiaxian, who was standing beside him, saw the person and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Battalion Commander, it's her!"
"Who is it?" Zhao Tingjun looked inside curiously.
Ji Shuyan glanced at Zhu Jiaxian and looked at the back, "Nothing, I think I saw someone I know."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Xiaoqiu turned around.
The two looked at each other.
Yi Xiaoqiu subconsciously gave a polite smile. Seeing that there were people around him and they seemed to be busy, he didn't intend to disturb them. He just nodded at them and found a place to sit down.
Zhao Tingjun's eyes lit up when he saw Yi Xiaoqiu. "Hey! How did you know me? When did such a beautiful girl appear in this county? How come I didn't know about her?"
He was almost thirty years old and still unmarried. After he was demobilized, his workplace leaders often introduced him to potential partners. He had met quite a few single young girls in the county. He didn't know all of them, but he knew most of them. However, he had high standards and didn't like any of them.
He never thought that Yi Xiaoqiu would be an educated youth from the countryside.
Ji Shuyan and Zhu Jiaxian couldn't think of it either.
"I met him when I just caught the human trafficker." Zhu Jiaxian said quickly.
Zhao Junting suddenly understood and nodded seriously, "This beautiful girl is likely to encounter danger outside."
After hearing what Zhu Jiaxian said, he thought Yi Xiaoqiu was captured by human traffickers and then rescued by Ji Shuyan and others.
Without waiting for the two to react, he pulled one of them over to Yi Xiaoqiu and said, "Since we all know each other and we are related in saving each other's lives, let's go upstairs and talk."
Although Zhu Jiaxian wanted to go to the temple to get to know Yi Xiaoqiu, he was not shameless enough to be someone's savior.
"We didn't save her, so don't do anything rash." Ji Shuyan felt a little uneasy after hearing this.
Zhu Jiaxian was also embarrassed, "You can't just listen halfway!"
Unfortunately, Zhao Junting didn't listen. "Since we know each other, what's wrong with saying hello?"
He pulled the person and walked to Yi Xiaoqiu's table in three or two steps.
Yi Xiaoqiu was picking her nails out of boredom when she looked up and saw three grown men standing by the table.
She just thought they were busy, so she didn't go forward, but she didn't expect them to be right in front of her in the blink of an eye.
She was sitting there, with the people opposite her standing straight, which was quite stressful.
Yi Xiaoqiu straightened his back and said, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you again so soon. Are you here for dinner too?"
After saying that, Yi Xiaoqiu complained in her heart: Isn't this nonsense? If people come to the restaurant and don't eat, what else can they do?
Zhu Jiaxian pulled a chair for the two people next to him. "What a coincidence! We saw you outside just now. Oh, right, we've known you for so long, but I still don't know your name!"
Zhao Tingjun and Ji Shuyan also sat down.
As expected of a soldier, he even sits properly.
It doesn't look like he's here to eat, but rather to negotiate with Yi Xiaoqiu.
Yi Xiaoqiu was about to speak when Ji Shuyan spoke.
