"These educated youth are too lawless!"

"Do you really think that no one can control them? It's ok that they are always arrogant in the village, but they are so cruel to the educated youth living in the same courtyard!"

Carpenter Zhao frowned and cursed for a long time before turning to look at Xie Zhuo. "I'll go to the hospital with you later. If it's really serious, you'll have to ask them to pay for your medical expenses."

"No, no," Xie Zhuo quickly refused after hearing him say that.

It wasn't like he was really kicked by those educated youth, and it was impossible for him to really go to the hospital.

The reason he said this was because when he was at the gate of the educated youth site, the excuse he gave to the team leader for asking for leave was that he was kicked. Although no one else was present, he did not go to work and was seen entering the city, and it would be difficult for him to explain when he returned.

You can't say that you simply don't want to go to work.

Wouldn’t the captain have to chase him home and scold him?

During the summer weeding season, every household has to send at least one person to work. This is a rule that has been set in recent years. Xie is the only laborer in the family, so he is indispensable every time.

"Can you do it?" Carpenter Zhao looked at him with concern.

"Not bad," Xie Zhuo rubbed his belly, "It just so happens that the place where I sell mountain products is close to the hospital. Besides, you're not on the way here. If you follow me around again, I guess Zhao Bin won't be able to wait any longer."

"Okay, I'll go to him first," Carpenter Zhao thought about what he said and it really made sense.

If this thing can't be delivered today, I'll be scolded again when I get back.

The two of them said a few more words before heading towards their respective destinations.

Compared with the Qingping County of later generations, the Qingping County of this era was not as prosperous and had fewer people. There were mostly bungalows on both sides of the road. Xie Zhuo shuttled back and forth between the criss-crossing alleys for nearly half an hour. When he was sure that no one was following him, he knocked on a small wooden door.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his forties.

He opened the door and saw Xie Zhuo. His eyes lit up, and he stuck his head out to look around. When he didn't see anyone else, he quickly welcomed the person in.

"Why did you come early?" the middle-aged man asked as he walked over. "Did you finish repairing it in advance?"

Xie Zhuo did not answer his question. He sat on the stool in the room, took a sip of water, and then took out the small box at the bottom of the backpack and handed it to him.

The man probably didn't expect that he would put such a precious thing directly under the backpack. He wanted to say something, but was in a hurry to see the things, so in the end he said nothing.

When he saw the hands on the seven watches were circling the dials in an orderly manner, he couldn't suppress the joy on his face.

"Not bad!"

"awesome!"

"It has to be you, boy! You can even fix this!"

The middle-aged man looked at his watch back and forth and kept praising Xie Zhuo.

Xie Zhuo didn't say much the whole time. He sat down and drank a glass of water before he reorganized the wild mountain products in his backpack and prepared to leave.

"In such a hurry?" The middle-aged man noticed his actions, put down his watch, and went to get the money he had prepared long ago.

"Yes," Xie Zhuo responded, "someone is waiting at home."

The middle-aged man didn't know the situation at Xie Zhuo's home, and thought that his wife was waiting for him to come home. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be afraid of your wife. It's good to take care of your family."

As he said that, he handed over the money.

Xie Zhuo did not specifically explain his misunderstanding. He took the money and counted it. There were seven watches, and the repair cost was fifty yuan each, a total of three hundred and fifty yuan, not a penny less or more.

After counting, he took out fifty yuan as usual and handed it to the middle-aged man, "Exchange for some candy tickets, snack tickets, and food tickets."

The middle-aged man had already gotten used to his practice of exchanging tickets every time. He took the money, took out the ticket and handed it to him.

When Xie Zhuo was about to leave, he took out another small gray box and put it in his backpack. "This time there are two watches."

Xie Zhuo nodded without asking any more questions.

Since he is able to get so many defective watches for free and sell them after repairing them, it proves that he has some skills. In addition, Xie Zhuo knows from certain experiences in his previous life that this person is trustworthy, so it is not impossible for him to work for him for a while.

It's better than working hard in the fields all day and just barely making a living.

Xie Zhuo put away the small box and walked out with the basket on his back. But just as he was about to step out of the main room door, the middle-aged man stopped him again, "Can you repair the radio? I'll give you this amount."

As he spoke, he gestured a number with his hands.

On the other side, Qingshan Brigade, the educated youth point.

Xu Yan waited until everyone had left before taking out the package and sorting it out again.

The package contained three packs of peach cakes, two packs of honey cakes, two boxes of fruit hard candies, two boxes of White Rabbit milk candies, two bars of soap, and two large cans of malted milk. In addition to the cans of syrup that she had eaten earlier, there was also a piece of braid, a piece of floral cloth, a piece of navy blue cloth, fifty yuan and some food coupons.

Almost everything comes in double portions.

The original owner's parents might have made such preparations because they were afraid that their daughter would give the things to Han Xiaoyu, but they didn't expect that the original owner didn't keep her share at all.

Although Xu Yan had never seen the original owner's parents, perhaps because he had traveled through time for a short time, his emotions were still affected by the original owner, so when he saw these things at this moment, his eyes were actually a little moist.

Is this the love parents have for their children?

As far as she knew, although Xu's parents had a good monthly salary and her brother and sister-in-law also worked in the factory to earn money, sending so many things over in half a year was something they couldn't afford even if they had a strong family background.

Xu Yan sighed.

Xu Yan's parents divorced when she was very young, and she grew up with her grandparents. After their death, she began to live alone, and she could not count the number of times she saw her parents each year on her five fingers.

Although they are related by blood, they are often more unfamiliar than strangers.

Just like when she died, the two of them just came to claim the body, then hurriedly arranged the funeral and left.

Xu Yan took out all the things on the table and the food in the cabinet, and locked them all in a dark red suitcase brought by the original owner.

Only then did I have time to visit the female educated youth dormitory.

The dormitory for the female educated youth was very clean and simple, so simple that apart from an unpainted table that was two arms long and two wooden chairs, there was only a large bunk bed against the wall.

There were six sheets of different colors on the kang. This was proposed by Zhou Jingjing when she first arrived. She said she was not used to sleeping on other people's sheets, so each of the female educated youth made her own sheet.

Following the original owner's memory, Xu Yan scanned the sheets of various colors, and finally landed on the sheet by the window, which had been washed to the point of fading and had patches on it.

At this moment, the strong sun was shining through the window onto the bed sheet. You could tell with your eyes that the bed sheet was scorching hot without reaching out to touch it.

Xu Yan: “…”
