Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

I don’t know whether the two aunts believed it or not, but in the end one of them gave the siblings one dollar, grabbed them and gave them a lecture before letting them go.

On the way pushing the cart back, Song Shuangshuang laughed at how Song Youlin could come up with such nonsense, which sounded obviously fake.

"You explain it next time." He still has the nerve to say that. He lets him take the blame without even explaining it to him.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Song Shuangshuang quickly admitted her mistake and said that she would be more careful next time, and asked him how much the pork sold for on the black market.

"Three yuan a pound, you bought about 20 pounds, right?" He put 4 yuan in the basket at a time and restocked it about 4 or 5 times.

Song Shuangshuang calculated that two plus three equals six...

"That's 60 yuan! It's a pity that the system tasks have not been updated, otherwise we can earn a lot of points."

Last time she was given 5 points for 20 yuan, so this time she should be given 60 points for 200 yuan, right?

150 is fine too.

Song Shuangshuang shook her head and sighed, "What a loss! A huge loss!"

When they arrived at the Youth League Home, the educated youth had just finished their meal. They first went to the female youth dormitory to move the boxes. There were too many things in the boxes and they couldn't move them all... Later, Song Youlin asked He Feiyang to help move them.

Song Shuangshuang held two thermoses and said to the sweaty He Feiyang, "Thank you. I'll invite you to our place for dinner later."

Seeing that Song Shuangshuang and her brother were interested in making friends with him, He Feiyang naturally agreed.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you two siblings to have this meal."

Because both of their boxes were full, Song Shuangshuang was worried that Song Youlin couldn't push the cart by himself, so she sandwiched two water bottles in the quilt and tied all the things on the cart with ropes, and then followed Song Youlin to push the cart away.

After they were some distance away from the Youth League site, they controlled the movement of the things in the box into the space. There were too many people in the Youth League compound and no one could see it.

"Sister, please go away and stop making trouble here." She almost overturned the car.

Song Shuangshuang curled her lips, let go of her hand and walked away. "As if I was willing to help."

Although the things in the box were taken out, there were still many things on the cart. The cart was pushed crookedly, but we finally got home.

The two did not dare to rest. They moved all the things in the car into the house in one go and put them back in their places. Even after they finished, they did not dare to lie down to rest.

There was no firewood at home, and it was impossible to cook two meals with just that broken door board.

Even if the space can use electricity, she can't go two months without cooking a meal. The villagers are not blind, can they see that your chimney is not smoking?

"Brother, if we move out, we will attract too much attention. Even when the autumn harvest begins, there will definitely be villagers staring at us. We should usually cook in the kitchen and occasionally close the door to make something delicious."

Song Youlin knew the limits, but they had never done farm work before, so they just came to the countryside and worked for more than a month, worried that the intensity of the autumn harvest was too great and they could not handle it.

Thinking that several aunts had bought meat today, and that it would not be long in the hot summer, they could probably cook it tonight, Song Youlin suggested:

"Why don't we make some more meat tonight and store it in the space after it's done? This way we can eat some every day without worrying about people smelling the meat."

The two men packed up the bundle of ropes and prepared to go up the mountain to get some firewood.

Song Shuangshuang took out the small padlock used to lock the box and locked the door, clapping her hands.

"Now everyone knows that this house is occupied."

They still took the usual route up the mountain, and the two of them didn't pick up much after an entire afternoon.

"How about we buy some in the village? This isn't enough." Song Shuangshuang looked at the pitiful bundle of branches on the ground and sighed deeply.

She forgot that people in the countryside would go up the mountain to collect firewood after the autumn harvest and before the snow fell, so where would there be so many dead branches at this time?

"I think that's fine. Let's see if there's any carbon in the supermarket and get some."

There was no need for Song Youlin, Song Shuangshuang could hold this amount of firewood by herself, but in the end it was Song Youlin who held it.

It was just after work, and we met many villagers on the road. A familiar aunt even greeted the siblings.

"Song Zhiqing, are you going up the mountain to collect firewood?"

"Yes, auntie, we have moved out. I was thinking of going up the mountain to collect some firewood for cooking, but I didn't find much."

Song Shuangshuang couldn't laugh at all. How could she cook without firewood?

Several aunts laughed, but they didn't mean to laugh at Song Shuangshuang. "You are a city kid. You don't know that we in the countryside have to collect firewood after the autumn harvest. If you don't have firewood, you can use it at my house. I still have a lot. I can share some with you."

The aunt next to her also said that she could give some to Song Shuangshuang, so that she could exchange some with other families, and that it would be enough to last until the autumn harvest.

Then she will go up the mountain to pick them up herself.

Song Shuangshuang thought she would have to trouble Aunt Chang and Aunt Wang again, but she didn't expect that the problem was solved on the way!

Song Shuangshuang's eyes sparkled. She walked up to the aunts in two or three steps and said, "Thank you so much, aunt, but I don't know where your home is. How about I follow you back to get to know the place first!"

Apart from Aunt Chang and Aunt Wang's homes, which she often visited, as well as the village chief's and the team leader's homes, she really didn't know where these aunts' homes were.

She was not in the same team as these aunts, and they usually just said hello to each other on the road.

Ever since Song Youlin came to the countryside, she has not even been to the threshing ground twice.

The aunts had never seen such an enthusiastic educated youth as Song Shuangshuang, and they were not able to react for a moment. After a pause, they said, "No, no, after dinner, we will go to the threshing ground, and if you ask there, someone will switch with you."

The villagers said exchanging things meant exchanging them for money, so Song Shuangshuang naturally understood what that meant.

After returning home, I threw the firewood I had just picked up directly into the yard. There was dew in the mountains in the morning, so the firewood was still a little damp and had to be dried for two days before it could be used.

Song Shuangshuang has not forgotten what happened in the first two days after arriving at the Youth Academy...

Following the aroma of cooking in the village, the brother and sister cleaned the pot, got two chicken legs from the supermarket, and made braised potatoes and chicken nuggets.

Well, there is no side dish except potatoes.

While eating, Song Shuangshuang and Song Youlin said that when the autumn harvest began, they would have to take turns buying vegetables in the village.

She said before that she was helping the two aunts to exchange meat tickets to make up for the vegetables, but the aunts knew that the meat was bought on the black market, so she certainly couldn’t take the aunts’ vegetables for free.

Song Shuangshuang was a little worried. She had thought everything was good before moving, but after actually moving in, she found out that some things were missing.

Not to mention anything else, she and Song Youlin had to eat on the kang, and the table hadn't been made yet, so luckily there was a small kang table that they could use.

It was because she made the decision so suddenly that she moved in without any preparation.

Besides, Carpenter Guan had been helping to renovate the house some time ago and had no time at all. She wanted a lot of things and it would take some time.

After dinner, Song Shuangshuang didn't rush to return the cart. She planned to bring back more firewood today.

Song Shuangshuang looked at the cart and suddenly had an idea. She could ask Carpenter Guan to make her a simple small cart. It didn't need to have a handle, just a board and wheels. She could tie a rope in front and pull it up the mountain when she went up the mountain to collect firewood. She could then tie the firewood to the cart and it would save effort if she put the rope around her body.

She and her brother didn't have to be carried back by humans.
