After walking around the house, Liu Jingxue sighed, "The captain was right. There's only an empty house with nothing in it."

All the pots, pans, and utensils in Xinshi’s home have been stored in the space and can be taken out and used directly.

You need to change the kang mat, felt, kang piano, kang table, water bucket and bath tub.

I brought a lot of things with me, so I have to change a set of wardrobes, otherwise there will be no place to put the things.

"Oh, and the small pieces of furniture the captain asked for, sickles, hoes, shovels, rakes, and axes for chopping wood, must also be bought."

"In order to conceal my tracks, I had to go to the mountains to buy and sell mountain products, and I had to get more backpacks.

We also need to prepare winnowing baskets and drying mats for drying mountain products.”

I looked at the sun outside and realized that I must bring a straw hat if I was going to work under the scorching sun.

Liu Jingxue looked at her watch. It was already past noon.

"Clean up the house and put out everything that needs to be put out. At around 2:00 p.m., go to the brigade headquarters to handle the formalities and borrow food.

We need to find someone to lead the way, get everything we need ready, and then hurry up to collect firewood."

I have to go to town early tomorrow morning and take the opportunity to get the big pot, kettle, bowls and plates, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. out and get through.

You also have to go through the transfer procedures for receiving subsidies for children of martyrs.

After making up her mind, Liu Jingxue went to clean the house.

Fortunately, there were a lot of cleaning talismans stored in the space. She used one for each room, and with two cleaning talismans she cleaned both rooms thoroughly.

After cleaning the house, Liu Jingxue went into the space to take a shower.

These days on the train, although she could take a rest in the space during the toilet break, she was afraid of being discovered, so she refrained from taking a shower.

After finally arriving at the place, she had to wash herself quickly.

After taking a bath, she got herself the food that had been prepared in advance and had a hearty meal.

For the next few meals on the train, she followed the crowd and ate the food provided by the train, which was really not to her taste. Now she had to treat herself well.

She hadn't gotten enough rest on the train these past few days, so after dinner, she went to the alchemy room to adjust the time formation and went to sleep.

Other things will be dealt with after she wakes up.

When she woke up, it was already past two in the afternoon outside. Liu Jingxue put on her backpack, put some change in it, grabbed a few handfuls of fruit candies, locked the main gate and the courtyard gate, and set out to dry the dam.

When she arrived at the drying dam, Liu Jingxue saw that there were many elderly people responsible for spreading the grain to dry, and some children were also helping there.

I think these elderly people are too old to work in the fields, so the villagers arranged for them to dry the crops and take care of the children in the village.

Seeing the stranger Liu Jingxue coming from afar, the elderly people hurriedly called the children who were playing nearby to come back to them.

"Little girl, you look unfamiliar, you are not from our village.

What are you doing in our village?" An old lady asked when she saw Liu Jingxue approaching.

"Grandma Zhang, is she the human trafficker you mentioned, who comes to our village specifically to kidnap children?"

"Grandma Zhang, should we go find an adult and tie her up and send her to the police?"

Hearing the children talking to each other, they classified her as a human trafficker. Liu Jingxue quickly explained,

"You misunderstood. I'm not a human trafficker. I'm an educated youth who just arrived today."

An old man asked the person next to him, "Are there any more educated youth coming to our village today?"

“It seems to be the case.

Early this morning, the team leader drove a bullock cart to the town, saying he was going to pick up the educated youth.

Although someone confirmed that there were indeed new educated youth coming to the village today, these old people still had doubts about Liu Jingxue's identity.

"Comrade Zhiqing, what are you doing here?"

Liu Jingxue said quickly, "Grandma, I'm here to ask someone to lead the way.

I need to go to the brigade to handle the formalities, and also go to the village to exchange some furniture, farm tools, backpacks and the like.

The captain told me that there were people at Shaiba, and asked me to go there to find someone to lead the way."

An old man said, "We can find someone to lead the way, but we are not sure of your identity yet, so it is impossible to let the children go with you.

We old folks will accompany you for a while, and after we confirm your identity, we will let the children lead the way for you."

After hearing this, Liu Jingxue hurriedly thanked him.

In fact, she knew the location of the brigade headquarters. After all, when she came here secretly last time, she found the brigade headquarters and learned the specific name of the village from there.

It was just to cover up one's tracks. As a newly arrived educated youth, he naturally had to ask someone to lead the way to the brigade headquarters.

Moreover, with so many things to exchange, it is definitely impossible to buy them all from one house. I must find someone in the village to lead the way.

An old lady stood up and said, "Let me take her for a walk."

She turned around and looked at a little boy, "Niu Dan, Lu Dan, you two go with Grandma Wu.

If there is no problem with her identity, she will have to go to your two houses to exchange things later, and you will lead her there."

After hearing this, Niu Dan and Donkey Dan said quickly, "Okay, Grandma Wu."

Liu Jingxue followed Grandma Wu to the brigade headquarters.

On the way, Liu Jingxue took out some candy and wanted to give it to Grandma Wu and the children who followed them to thank them for leading her, but Grandma Wu refused.

“Your identity is unknown now, so we dare not take your things.

What if there are drugs in the bag and the children fall unconscious after taking them, and you take the opportunity to take them away?

I am an old man with old arms and legs, and I cannot beat you."

Liu Jingxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had to give up. She thought about giving it to them after she proved her identity.

Grandma Wu took the opportunity to teach the children who came with her, "Remember this, you can't accept anything given to you by strangers.

If you are greedy and eat other people's food, you will be drugged and kidnapped, and you will never see your family again. "

"Grandma Wu, don't worry. My parents have already told us not to eat food given by strangers."

"Yes, you must not eat it, no matter how hungry you are."

"If you eat it, you will be sold to the mountains and you will never be able to return home."

Some children looked at Liu Jingxue's bag, thinking that there were candies in it, and swallowed their saliva, but said that they would never eat anything given by strangers.

Liu Jingxue found it a little funny, but she also felt a little bitter when she saw their clothes covered with patches on top of patches.

If it weren’t for the efforts of generation after generation, we wouldn’t be able to live a life without worries about food and clothing.

Fortunately, the team leader who was waiting for the new educated youth to come and handle the formalities at the team headquarters verified her identity.

After confirming Liu Jingxue's identity, Grandma Wu left her children to lead the way and returned to the sunbathing area to work.

Liu Jingxue quickly took out some candy and gave it to her, asking her to take it back to sweeten her grandchildren.

After some refusal, Grandma Wu finally accepted it.
