The pretty educated youth became the favorite of the soldier king

Chapter 21 Going to Town (Please add it to your bookshelf!!!)

2 cents was nothing to Gao Limei, so she changed it for a dime and handed it to Lao Dingtou.

After she sat down, she saw Gao Shanfeng and Liu Xiaofu sitting together opposite her. Gao Limei looked at Gao Shanfeng with an aggrieved and unhappy expression.

Gao Shanfeng rushed to the side, stared at Gao Limei and smiled. The two of them exchanged glances, which made Liu Xiaofu so angry that she cursed in her heart.

The ox cart was bumpy all the way, and the dirt road in the northeast raised a cloud of sand, which made the new educated youth on the ox cart covered in dust.

The local villagers held their heads with scarves, covered their mouths and noses with their hands, and looked at the new educated youth as if they were laughing at a joke.

Look at these young masters and young ladies from the city who have no idea of ​​the sufferings of the world!

Gu Xiaoqi wrapped the scarf around his head from his neck up, then took out a cotton mask and put it on his face.

For a moment, several middle-aged women looked at Gu Xiaoqi with even more disgust in their eyes, as if Gu Xiaoqi had done something bad.

The educated youth also looked at Gu Xiaoqi with envy.

"If you say she is from the city, then she is just being delicate. She uses such a good cotton mask to collect dust. She is really acting like a young lady~" Aunt Ma from the village said sarcastically.

Although he said this, his eyes were staring at the mask on Gu Xiaoqi's face with shining eyes.

Gu Xiaoqi stared at Aunt Ma coldly and said bluntly: "What does it have to do with you? You don't have money to buy a mask and you blame me? Masks are not used to catch dust, do you catch dust with your hands? Oh, that's right, it's not too much for you to catch dust with your rough hands!"

"Oh my, that mouth is quite powerful! We have thick skin and flesh, how can we compare to you people in the city. But I'm not saying anything, wait until the autumn harvest to see if your hands are still as tender as they are now!"

As Aunt Ma and the lady next to her spoke, they covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

"Then don't worry about it. You should be more concerned about how much dust you catch with your big mouth!" Gu Xiaoqi rolled his eyes and replied.

Aunt Ma wanted to say something, but a mouthful of ashes flew into her mouth and she kept spitting.

Afterwards, she would glare at Gu Xiaoqi a few times for no reason, but Gu Xiaoqi was too lazy to pay attention to her and just held the wooden board with his eyes closed to rest.

It took 50 minutes by ox cart to reach the town. The old man driving the ox cart asked us to return to the village at 1 pm and asked everyone to come back at the right time, as he would not wait for us after that time.

Hearing that Gao Limei and the others were going to the post office to pick up the package, Gu Xiaoqi thought about going to the post office later.

So they went to the supply and marketing cooperative first. There were a lot of things in Gu Xiaoqi's space, but that didn't stop her from stockpiling.

Standing in front of the counter, Gu Xiaoqi bought 3 kilograms of fruit candy, 2 kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy, 10 packets of brown sugar, 5 bottles of chili sauce on the counter, weighed 5 kilograms of pork, bought 5 bottles of orange soda, and 2 kilograms of egg cake.

Gu Xiaoqi spent a total of 21 yuan to buy a set of ticket vouchers.

The rest of the thermos, enamel cups, washbasins and daily necessities are all ready and packed in the space. I can go to the post office and find a chance to take them out later.

Gu Xiaoqi left the supply and marketing cooperative, and seeing that it was still early, he went back to ask the salesperson where the scrap yard was.

The salesperson saw that Gu Xiaoqi was buying things efficiently and did not interrupt her to chat. He was also a straightforward person, so he patiently told Gu Xiaoqi the location of the scrap yard.

Gu Xiaoqi walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, found an alley, put the things into the space, walked west, and after about 20 minutes, he saw a scrap yard.

There was actually a small room at the entrance of the scrap yard, with an old man sitting inside drinking tea and reading a newspaper.

Gu Xiaoqi walked forward and knocked on the small window on the glass, and the old man opened the window.

"Hello, uncle. I want to find some usable furniture, old newspapers and books in there!"

The old man glanced at Gu Xiaoqi and said, "Come in, the books and newspapers are weighed by kilograms, and the rest are brought out for me to see."

Gu Xiaoqi replied "OK" and walked into the scrap yard.

As soon as you go in, you'll see a large warehouse with things placed in a very messy manner. Being in it really feels a bit like being on Taobao.

Gu Xiaoqi inevitably became excited and searched enthusiastically. However, after searching for a long time, he did not find anything valuable.

Finally, I dug out several sets of high school review materials and a thick pile of old newspapers, thinking that I could use them to paste on the walls when I had the chance to move out.

Just as Gu Xiaoqi was about to walk out with a pile of books and newspapers, he suddenly saw a Huanghuali wooden box in the corner, which was quite heavy to pick up.

However, there was no place on the wooden box that could be opened, which made Gu Xiaoqi wonder. He became very interested in the box.

He picked it up and walked to the door, asking the old man to count the money for him.

"Give me 3 cents for the books and newspapers, and 2 cents for the box, a total of 5 cents!"

Gu Xiaoqi took out 5 cents and handed it to the old man, who also enthusiastically gave Gu Xiaoqi a rope to tie up books and newspapers.

Gu Xiaoqi thanked the old man, bundled up the books and newspapers, picked them up, and walked to the alley across the street with the box in his arms. With a flash, he and his belongings entered the space directly.

Gu Xiaoqi drank a bottle of orange soda in the space, then looked at the wooden box, trying to take out the contents of the box with his mind.

The contents inside almost blinded Gu Xiaoqi's eyes. A bag full of diamonds, this is not a fashionable thing in this era.

She's rich! She's rich! This time she's really a rich woman!

Gu Xiaoqi laughed happily in the space.

When he looked down, he found an envelope on the floor of the space. When he opened the envelope, he found a letter of treason. It stated that the director of the Revolutionary Committee would be removed from office and his own people would be put in place. Judging from the content of the letter, this enemy spy should be a senior director of the Revolutionary Committee.

But these had nothing to do with Gu Xiaoqi, so he put the letter aside and left the space.

It was almost noon, and Gu Xiaoqi was preparing to go to the state-owned restaurant to have a good meal and stock up on some delicious food.

I really had no appetite for the meal that the educated youth ordered last night.

When they walked into the state-owned restaurant, there were quite a lot of people inside. Gu Xiaoqi saw Gao Limei, Feng Jiajia and Gao Shanfeng eating together at a glance.

Gu Xiaoqi ordered a plate of twice-cooked pork, a plate of braised fish, a plate of scrambled eggs with persimmons, and a bowl of rice.

After taking a look around with the food in hand, he found that the table was already full, so Gu Xiaoqi had no choice but to go and share the table with Gao Limei and the others.

"Are you suggesting that I sit here? There's no place left!" Gu Xiaoqi said.

Feng Jiajia looked at the food on Gu Xiaoqi's plate and her eyes lit up: "Please sit down!"

Gu Xiaoqi saw that the two people next to him had no objection, so he sat down.

Gao Limei was having a pleasant chat with Gao Shanfeng and was unhappy about Gu Xiaoqi's appearance, but Feng Jiajia blurted it out without hesitation and she did not refute.

Feng Jiajia said, "Gu Zhiqing, you ordered so many dishes by yourself, can you finish them all? How about I help you?"

As Feng Jiajia was about to pick up the twice-cooked pork with her chopsticks, Gu Xiaoqi hit her hand with the chopsticks.

Feng Jiajia felt pain and then said unhappily: "I asked you to sit here, so what's wrong with eating a bite of your meat? You are so stingy!"

"If you want to eat, buy it with your own money. Don't you know that food is precious now? And you want to eat other people's food for free? If you dare to take it, I will break your hand!" Gu Xiaoqi said viciously.
