Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Liu Jingxue waited until after dark, put a bottle of Fenjiu, half a pound of brown sugar, and a bag of fruit candies into her shoulder bag, and walked towards the captain's house carrying the bag.

When she went to the villagers' homes to exchange things before, the children who led the way introduced to her one by one the families living in some of the houses they passed by, including the team leader's home.

Liu Jingxue walked along the way without meeting anyone.

After a day of hard work, the villagers went home early to rest after work and dinner. They had to go to the fields to work early tomorrow morning.

When Liu Jingxue arrived at the captain's house, the gate was already closed. She heard faint voices coming from inside and knew that they were still awake, so she went to the door and knocked, "Is the captain home?"

At this time, the team leader's family had finished their meal and cleaned up. The family was sitting there talking, talking about the educated youth who had just arrived today.

The team leader also reminded his family, "Among the five educated youths who came today, except for the one named Feng Chunyan, the other ones are all in good condition.

Especially Liu Jingxue, an educated youth, is the child of a martyr.

Seeing that she was carrying a brand new military water bottle, there must be someone in her family serving in the army, and her family conditions were not bad.

She said that she had been practicing martial arts since she was young and was quite skilled.

You must be careful not to offend her in the future."

"Dad, you are just worrying too much. She is the daughter of a martyr. We respect her so much that we would never offend her.

It’s just that there are some people in our village who like to take advantage of others. Seeing that she is in good condition, I’m afraid they might have some crooked ideas.

Although I look down on those people, we are from the same village after all.

Dad, you'd better inform the villagers in advance, so that they won't do anything to tarnish the reputation of our brigade." Zhang Jianshe, the eldest son of the brigade leader, reminded his father.

The captain replied, "I know about this and I will tell them."

At this time, there was a sound of someone knocking on the door outside.

When the captain’s wife heard the voice, she asked, “Who is here so late?

Judging from the sound of his voice, he is not from the village. Villagers cannot speak Mandarin. He must be an educated youth.

The captain listened carefully and said, "From the sound of her voice, it sounds like Liu Jingxue, the educated youth. What is she doing here at this time?"

The captain's wife said, "How can we possibly guess what she is doing here? Let's just let her in and ask her and we'll know.

Now that everyone is here, we can’t just stop them from coming in.”

The captain said, "That's true.

Sufen, go open the door and ask her to come in."

The captain's wife hurriedly opened the door as instructed by the captain.

Seeing his wife go to open the door, the captain quickly ordered the others, "You all go back to your rooms first. Don't gather so many people here and scare people."

When the captain's sons and daughters-in-law heard this, they hurriedly took their children back to their rooms.

When the gate opened, Liu Jingxue saw that the person who opened the door was an older woman, and she quickly greeted her, "Hello, auntie, my name is Liu Jingxue, and I am an educated youth who just arrived today.

I have something to ask the captain. Is the captain home? "

"I'm here, please come in." said the captain's wife, and let Liu Jingxue in.

"Little Liu the educated youth, right? My name is Wu Sufen, and I'm the captain's wife. From now on, you can just call me Aunt Sufen."

"Hello, Aunt Sufen, you can just call me Xiaoxue."

After being led into the house by Aunt Sufen, Liu Jingxue saw the captain sitting there and hurried forward to greet him.

"Captain Bo."

The captain nodded and said, "Little Liu, the educated youth, is here. Please take a seat."

Liu Jingxue hurriedly thanked the captain and sat down on the chair.

"Xiaoxue, please sit down first. I'll go get you some water."

"Aunt Sufen, don't bother me. I don't want to drink water."

"Yes, yes. You came to my house and I didn't even give you water to drink. If this gets out, how can we live like this in the future?"

Aunt Sufen ignored Liu Jingxue's refusal and turned to the kitchen, poured her a bowl of water in her rice bowl, and handed it to Liu Jingxue.

Liu Jingxue took it and took a sip. The water was sweet, and it seemed that sugar had been added to it.

Nowadays, being able to entertain guests with sweet soup is a sign of great importance.

Liu Jingxue hurriedly took out the gifts she brought from her bag and placed them on the table.

"Captain, Aunt Sufen, I have come to our team to work in the countryside. According to the current situation, I don't know how many years I will have to stay in the village. I will have to trouble you to take care of me in the future.

Thank you for bothering Captain to pick us up in town today and arrange accommodation for me. I am really sorry for the trouble you have taken.

These things are my little gifts, please accept them."

Looking at the bottle of wine, half a pound of brown sugar, and a bag of candy on the table, the captain quickly declined.

"Little Liu, we appreciate your kindness, you can take the things back.

You came to our team to the countryside, and I picked you up and arranged accommodation for you. This is my job as the team leader, and it is not worth your gratitude. "

"Captain, your words are too polite.

Although it was your responsibility to arrange accommodation for the educated youth, the educated youth center was already there and you could have just thrown us there and been done with it.

I also looked at my house. No one has lived in it for a year or two, so it must be dilapidated.

Now it has been repaired, the kang has been cleared and heated. You must have arranged for someone to take care of these, which must have taken a lot of thought.

Although you are the captain, you are not our parents. If you were not willing to take responsibility, you would not have arranged everything for us so well."

"In fact, I came here shamelessly today because I have many things to ask Captain Uncle and Aunt Sufen for their help.

If you don’t accept these things, I won’t be able to ask you for help.”

The captain thought for a moment and said, "Since you said so, we will shamelessly accept these things, but we should not do these things in the future.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We will definitely not refuse to help you if we can.”

Aunt Sufen also spoke up, "Yes, Xiaoxue, just tell me what you have to say."

“Okay, then I’ll be welcome.

You all know that I'm new here, so I need to start cooking. I borrowed some grain from the village and I also brought a lot from home. The food problem was solved, but I had no vegetables. I can't just eat rice without vegetables.

I would like to ask Aunt Sufen if there are any extra vegetables at home, can you exchange some for me?"

Aunt Sufen's eyes lit up when she heard this. With such a large vegetable garden at home, there were so many vegetables that they could not be eaten up. It would be great if they could take them out to exchange for some things or money.

But seeing so many things on the table, she felt embarrassed to exchange the common vegetables in the countryside for the things that people bought with real money, so she said,

"Xiaoxue, you are being too polite.

The vegetables in my own garden are not valuable, you can just pick them directly from the garden, there is no need to exchange them for anything."

Liu Jingxue quickly said, "Aunt Sufen, this is not right.

In our city, you have to pay to buy vegetables. How can I take your vegetables for free?

It’s okay for one or two meals, but based on the current situation, this is obviously a long-term thing, and I feel embarrassed to take it for free.

If you don’t want to accept my things, I can only find someone else to exchange them for.”

Aunt Sufen was afraid that her business would go to other families, so she quickly said, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll switch."

For matters like this, the decision can be made by his wife, and the captain did not say much.
