Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

The backpacks of several people were placed neatly against the wall. Xue Li changed his position to help everyone watch things.

Others came over with their late lunches and devoured them.

When Wu Aiqing came in with an empty backpack, Jiang Yu had already started drinking the dumpling soup, as the original soup can be used to dissolve the original food.

"Have you bought all the herbs? No, you took a long time." Fu Biao looked his roommate up and down and didn't see anything unusual, except that he was a little out of breath, as if he had just come back from a run.

Wu Aiqing waved his hands, sat down and took a breath before saying, "I ran into the Red Guards who were catching people buying things on the black market. I don't know what happened. I was walking and came out of an alley, and as soon as I turned around, I was dragged away by someone and ran a long way. Oh my god, I was so tired."

"Pfft!" Xue Li laughed, "You're not buying or selling anything, what are you afraid of?"

"You didn't see it. There was a huge crowd of people, and there were a dozen people with red armbands on their arms behind me. They swarmed towards me, and I couldn't run away even if I didn't want to. Fortunately, everyone dispersed later, and there were no pursuers behind me." Wu Aiqing was speechless. What kind of luck was this? He encountered such a thing when he went out!

"But you were right to run away. If those Red Guards saw you, they wouldn't care whether you went in to do business or not. They would arrest you first." Chen Jinghan had encountered this situation several times when she came to the town before. They would question people who passed by several times and arrest them if they found anything wrong. She didn't know if it was because there were too many black market places here, but the Red Guards would rather kill someone by mistake than let any suspicious person go.

Xue Li shuddered, "So tight?" Fortunately, she never dared to go to the black market, otherwise, with her physical strength, she would really be giving away her performance.

"Don't have any ideas. Just stay in the village honestly. The same goes for your channels. Don't bring things to the village to do business too often. If you do it too often, people will think you are a middleman. If you make a big fuss, you will attract attention and people will arrest you." Chen Jinghan took the opportunity to warn Xue Li. This girl always cares about the first and not the last. She would smile so much when she gets a little money, which always scares him.

"No, no, I definitely won't go. I won't do business in the village anymore." Xue Li sat down obediently and expressed his opinion immediately.

She doesn't lack things, but money. She is also thinking about buying a house in the future, such as in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or Shenzhen. It would be great to buy a house and land and become a landlady!

But now it seems that she underestimated the importance that the government attaches to speculation these days. She should just stay put for now. If she wants to make a fortune, she will have time to do so after a few years when the economic market opens up.

Jiang Yu listened, and combined with the memories left by his original body, he gained a deeper understanding of the tense policy situation these days. When will these days of being questioned wherever he walk end?

Not only is it difficult to do business, but even young men and women dating have to keep a safe distance when walking. If they hold hands, they will definitely be stopped by the patrol. The strict separation between men and women is ridiculous.

Complaints aside, no matter what the men planned, Jiang Yu and Xue Li knew the situation and immediately decided to keep to themselves and not make any trouble. After all, nothing is more important than one's own safety! Of these two people, one has supplies and won't starve to death, and the other has money and strength and won't starve to death. Anyway, there is nothing fun outside now, and it is difficult to even go out, so it is better to stay at home and feel comfortable.

Several people pushed their bicycles outside the town to wait for Xiong Lijin.

Xue Li couldn't sit still and insisted on dragging Jiang Yu to make a snowman with her.

Jiang Yu asked her, "Are you sure?"

"What's there to be uncertain about? Let's have a competition to see who can roll the biggest and roundest snowball!" Xue Li put his hands on his hips, puffed out his chest and shouted at Jiang Yu.

"Okay." Jiang Yu pushed the bicycle to the side and parked it. He and Xue Li stood on the side of the avenue, looking at the white snow. The race began!

Xue Li first made a small snowball, and then added pieces to it to increase its size.

Jiang Yu stretched out his hands, gathered the nearby snow piles, and slapped them a few times to make a ball. Then he began to push the snowball across the ground, and it soon expanded.

But in just a few minutes, Jiang Yu pushed over a snowball as high as Xue Li's leg, while Xue Li made a snowball as big as his head.

Xue Li looked back and forth at the two snowballs. The gap was too big!

"Okay, I'll process it for you. This will be the head of the snowman!" Jiang Yu grabbed the small snowball in Xue Li's hand, pushed it and rolled it twice, slapped it with a crackling sound, and after rolling the snowball into a compact ball, she picked it up and put it on top of her big snowball.

The two white balls were stacked together, and Xue Li patted the snowman's body with satisfaction. "It's good to be strong. You can make snowmen very quickly!"

Chen Jinghan and Fu Biao had nothing to do, so they found some branches for them. "Here, you have eyes, nose, mouth, and hands."

Jiang Yu took the branches and put them in the right places with a few swishes, and a snowman with a serious expression was completed.

Xue Li was very satisfied and thought to himself that it would be nice if he could take a photo as a souvenir.

"Jiang Yu, let's go back to the educated youth site and build two snowmen!" Xue Li was having so much fun that he naturally didn't want to end it like that. Anyway, the snow was heavy here, so he might as well go home and continue!

Jiang Yu nodded casually, "Okay." She was not in a hurry to fiddle with the newly acquired iron racks in the space, as they still had time to grow during the winter.

When several people were gathered around the snowman discussing what shape to make, Xiong Lijin arrived late.

Wu Aiqing stamped her feet. "You're finally back. How are you? Have you had lunch?"

"Let me eat two bites of steamed buns to fill my stomach. I just finished my work. You must have been waiting for a long time, right? I prepared some mutton spine for everyone. Shall we have mutton spine hotpot tonight?" Xiong Lijin shook his backpack, which contained a lot of good things.

"It just so happens that I haven't used the small clay stove I made before, and I have a small pot that can be placed on the stove." Jiang Yu had originally been thinking about eating hot pot in the winter. With the small clay stove, it would be so delicious to have a bite of the hot hot pot.

Xue Li was about to drool, "Oh my god, who would have thought that life in the countryside would be more comfortable than in the city! I have friends like you because I did good deeds in my previous life, it's what I deserve~"

"Okay, okay, let's go back quickly!" Seeing her greedy look, Chen Jinghan immediately remembered the idea of ​​eating hot pot. Next time, she must get some beef and mutton back for her to enjoy!

"Yes, let's go back quickly. We need to soak some mushrooms or something. We can't just eat meat when having hotpot." Fu Biao quickly got on Wu Aiqing's bicycle and greeted him.

The six people hurried back to the educated youth site, but those educated youth who had gone out with the villagers had not returned yet.

Jiang Yu looked at the footprints that had not been completely buried yet, leading straight to the backyard patio.

Dinner was arranged in Fu Biao and Wu Aiqing's room, which was more spacious than the single room.

The table that was originally placed in the patio was moved into the house, and several people began to work together.
