Chapter 187 Familiar Melody



"Yes, anyone who dares to bully Mianmian, they'll be taught a lesson!"

"There are advantages to Mianmian being moved here. Putting aside everything else, Old Wang is a good person. The fact that he was able to move Mianmian here shows that he genuinely wants to protect the child."

"You're right. This place is so close to the military region; if something really happens, Mianmian won't have to bear it all alone."

"yes"

"I never expected this girl to be so bold as to dare to follow the enemy."

"That's right. After all, she's a descendant of soldiers. Besides, she grew up in the military, so she knows the ropes best. And I don't think this is as simple as Mianmian makes it out to be."

"What happened? Did Mianmian encounter danger and get injured?"

No, it should be Beijing.

"Jingshi?"

Mianmian mentioned that the other party was from Beijing and their surname was Liu.

"What's wrong with having the surname Liu?"

"The surname Liu is a very common surname."

You mean...

"It's pretty much true! Think about these people who were sent down from Beijing to this place; they're very tight-lipped about certain things. And don't forget, there's also a guy surnamed Liu here who keeps crying foul."

"Then him?"

Whether he's innocent or not, we don't know, but what can we do? He's a member of the Liu family. He's probably been implicated in something.

"After that"

Pretend you don't know.

"good"

"It's getting late, go to sleep."

After Uncle Shen left, I realized I was exhausted. I thought that I didn't need to work tomorrow, so I could sleep in a little longer.

You can also take advantage of the fact that you don't have to work tomorrow to go to the city and get the subsidy settled.

But I didn't expect to be woken up by the reveille next door in the morning. I sat up abruptly, thinking I was in the old military region. But after looking around, I realized where I was. This was Xiangyang Brigade, and the military region was no longer the one in Beijing.

Hearing the familiar melody, I didn't want to sleep anymore. I quickly got up, washed up, ate some breakfast, picked up the backpack I had prepared the night before, locked the door, and went out.

We met other people along the way, greeted them, and inquired about any oxcarts going into town before arriving at the meeting place.

"Are you the new educated youth, Li?"

"Who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself. I am Cai Weidong, the captain of the educated youth compound in Xiangyang Brigade. You can look for me, Comrade Cai, or Cai the Educated Youth."

Hello, Cai Zhiqing (a former educated youth)

“Li, as the head of the educated youth compound, I’m not criticizing you, but you were far too conspicuous yesterday. Why don’t you move into the educated youth compound? Why do you insist on living in a separate courtyard? Do you know that this is a waste of national resources…”

Then I heard the other person ramble on and on, and before they could finish, I quickly stopped them, saying, "Comrade Cai, I don't know where I offended you."

"You didn't offend me!"

"You're being way too nosy!"

First of all, my transfer to Xiangyang Brigade to work in the countryside was approved by the organization.

Secondly, the house I currently live in was purchased with money; it belongs to me personally and has nothing to do with you or anyone else.

Then, I violated that regulation by arriving in a military truck. Putting aside everything else, I am the child of a martyr, and in certain matters, the government provides me with certain benefits that others do not receive.

"You are the child of a martyr"

"Why don't you believe me? Why don't you show us your martyr's certificate?"

"No, no need."

I really didn't expect that there would be such a meddlesome person in the Xiangyang Brigade's educated youth compound. Well, no, it's not that I think these people can't stand seeing others doing better than them, or that they're trying to intimidate me by showing off their grand arrival before making me hand over my things! Good heavens, what kind of people are these?!

Since that's the case, they're probably going to be proven wrong later. Putting aside everything else, when it comes to earning work points, they can't compare to me. Aren't you envious? Then let me show you how I crush you when it comes to food.

After arriving in the city, I didn't wander around. I went straight to apply for the subsidy and then to the hospital to ask if they bought medicinal herbs. I've accumulated quite a few in my online space over the past two years, so I can sell them in batches, little by little.

I can't bring out so much at once like the first time, it's too conspicuous. Now when I sell these medicinal herbs, I don't take much, just three or five kinds, three to five catties of each, that's enough. It's a steady stream, neither eye-catching nor conspicuous, which is much better.

Hearing that they were collecting money, I quickly took out some, bought it, and left without lingering. Then I went to a state-run restaurant for a meal and packed some large steamed buns to take away.

Since I had just arrived in a new place, I went to the post office and sent letters to various places, telling them my mailing address. I also told them that in the future, if they had packages, they didn't need to send them directly to me, but to the military region next door, and Li Mianmian could receive them.

I really didn't know anything about the Xiangyang Brigade, and I was also afraid that having too many packages would cause trouble, so I told my third brother in advance that I would leave the packages at the military region and pick them up myself later.

The military region is not far from Xiangyang Brigade, just west of the mountain west of the brigade. Xiangyang Brigade is east of the mountain, separated by another mountain.

My third brother said that we can take a shortcut through the mountains to get to the city. It seems we can't take the oxcart anymore; it's too painful. It's not that riding the oxcart is painful, but that this Cai educated youth just keeps talking about one thing, like a monk chanting sutras.

To get some peace and quiet when I get back, I'll take the mountain path! Besides, taking the mountain path isn't really a good idea for me.

So after finishing his business, he didn't take the oxcart back. He just told the old man driving the cart that he was going back first.

Taking an oxcart from the city to the production team involves a detour, but even so, it takes more than two hours. This doesn't even go through the commune; if it did, it would take four or five hours.

I could just walk through the mountains, which would only take an hour if I walked quickly, so why go the long way? Taking the oxcart earlier in the morning was a mistake.

Seeing that it was still early, he didn't go straight back, but instead turned towards the military region. Since he was going to pass by there anyway, why not take this opportunity to pay a visit? Otherwise, it would be too impolite.

"What? Li Zhiqing is gone?"

"yes!"

Did the old man say where she was going?

"Is that even a question? It's definitely going to the production team. It only takes an hour and a half to get there from here via the shortcut."

"Thank you for telling us, sir."

"This educated youth, Li, is really too disorganized and undisciplined; he left without even saying goodbye."

"Who says it isn't? Isn't it Liu Hui?"

"have no idea"

"Liu Hui, what kind of attitude is this?!"

"So what if I have this attitude! What's it to you?"

"You, alright, alright Cao Fang, don't take Liu Hui's words to heart, she's always been like this."
