I mailed the letter and then called Chu Xingbang.
Chu Xingbang was overjoyed to receive her call. A loud laugh came from the other end of the line as she asked if he had enough money, if he needed anything to eat or use, and if he wanted her to send him money and things.
Li Xiyue said she lacks nothing and is doing well, which puts the elderly at ease.
Chu Xingbang also mentioned something on the phone: there was a clue about the missing third child of his uncle's family. Apparently, she had caught a human trafficker on the train before, and the police followed the clues and found the human trafficker who had kidnapped the Chu family's children.
However, due to the passage of time, the traffickers couldn't remember where they had sold the child.
Although the child has not yet been found, the Chu family is overjoyed to finally have a clue after so many years.
Chu Xingbang was also happy. Although it was a boy, he was still his grandson, and what old man wouldn't love his children and grandchildren?
Li Xiyue was happy for them and hoped that they could successfully find her cousin.
After hanging up the phone, I paid two yuan in phone bill.
It was quite expensive, but telephone lines were scarce in those days, there were only a few in total, so it was normal for them to be expensive.
You have to understand that in rural areas there was no electricity, and it was already quite good if the commune had a telephone.
Li Xiyue went to the supply and marketing cooperative again and bought a piece of defective cloth without needing a ration coupon from Xu Xiaolong and Su Honghong.
It's getting hot, time to make new clothes again.
I don't know if it's because she drank the spiritual spring water, but she has grown taller this year and can't wear last year's clothes anymore.
It's quite rare for someone who's already an adult to still grow taller.
Then, as a formality, they bought some grain.
There's no need to buy meat. If you want some, you can trade with Zhou Yunze and his sister. They secretly go up the mountain to hunt every day, and the other educated youth at the settlement will trade with them. If they have any left over, they can exchange it for money on the black market.
The brother and sister still remembered the kindness shown to them and would occasionally bring her some game. Xu Dashan would also bring her some vegetables every now and then to supplement her meals.
After packing everything into her basket, Li Xiyue rode her bicycle back to the village.
Chen Hai and Lao Fen parted ways; one followed her while the other went to find out who she had called.
Li Xiyue returned to the village at noon. She put her things away and went into the kitchen.
After cooking the rice, she went to her spatial storage. She had gone to the commune today, so she could take out more things without arousing suspicion.
Carrying a small basket, they went to the field to pick fresh vegetables.
The trellis is covered with vines, and there are a few long, green loofahs. Let's make a loofah and meat soup.
I picked a few tender little pumpkins, about the size of a fist, and stir-fried them.
Bright red tomatoes are good for beauty and health, so I picked more than a dozen.
After leaving the vegetable garden, we went to the orchard.
In early May, many fruits are in season in the south, including peaches, plums, loquats, lychees, watermelons, cantaloupes, cherries, and more.
But Yonghe County only has peaches, plums, loquats, watermelons, and cantaloupes.
Other things can only be eaten secretly in the space.
Li Xiyue picked a watermelon and a few pink peaches.
I used the one-click cooking function to prepare two dishes and served them out, and then took out tomatoes, watermelons, peaches, pumpkins and other items from the storage space.
He then went to the backyard and fetched a bamboo tube of wine.
Just as I put the food on the table, Xiaobai, who had been playing all morning, came back. "Yueyue, time to eat! I'm starving."
