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

After Liu Jingxue returned home, she locked the door and went straight into the space.

When I go to town tomorrow, I have to go to the scrap yard to buy some old newspapers and paste them on the three sides of the kang that are against the wall.

The windows also had to be covered with newspapers to prevent anyone from observing what was happening inside the house through the windows.

She originally planned to get some cloth and make some simple curtains, but after seeing Aunt Sufen's reaction to the floral cloth today, she gave up the idea.

It seems that cloth is extremely rare in this countryside.

Even if it is a coarse cloth that they look down upon, it is probably a rare and good thing to them.

If the villagers saw that I was using something they couldn't even ask for to make curtains that were useless to them, they would probably be suspicious.

It is only the 70th year now. Judging from the current situation, I will have to stay in the countryside for quite a few more years. It is better not to be too extraordinary and blend in with the crowd.

Use newspapers to paste on the windows inside the house. To prevent others from peeping, just use several layers.

Liu Jingxue set the alarm and got up early the next morning.

She got up so early on purpose because she wanted to ride her bike to town when there was no one on the road.

If she walked there by herself, it would take more than an hour. Even if she was in good physical condition, she didn't want to endure this pain.

After quickly washing up and having breakfast in the space, Liu Jingxue left the space, put on her backpack and set off for the town.

While walking in the village, she also met villagers who were going to work.

Liu Jingxue quickly greeted them and introduced herself as the educated youth who had just arrived yesterday.

Liu Jingxue lives at the end of the village. To walk out of the village, she has to pass the educated youth point in the middle of the village.

She expected that the new educated youth who had arrived yesterday would definitely go to the town to buy things today, but she had no intention of inviting them to go with them.

If I go with them, I won't be able to ride a bike and will have to walk with them.

Besides, he had no real intention of going to the supply and marketing cooperative with them to buy things. After all, he just came out to find an excuse to get things out of the space, but he didn't need to really go shopping.

Therefore, when passing by the educated youth site, she deliberately quickened her pace to avoid running into those people.

Fortunately, she was lucky. When she passed by the educated youth site, no one came out.

After leaving the village and walking for a distance to make sure there was no one around, Liu Jingxue took out her bicycle and rode towards the town.

I didn't meet anyone on the road. After riding for about forty minutes, the gate of Linshan Town appeared before my eyes.

Liu Jingxue put the bicycle into the space, put out the backpack, put the backpack on her back, and walked into Linshan Town.

On today's trip to town, Liu Jingxue not only had to take out the things in the space and get some old newspapers, but also had to complete the relocation procedures for the subsidy for the children of martyrs.

The team leader gave them an hour of free time yesterday. It was too rushed, and she was afraid it would take too long and she would miss the time to return to the village, so she didn't do it.

There is plenty of time today, so we can get this done.

Besides, now that she has arrived, she should give her eldest brother a call to prevent him from worrying about her.

It was still early and the government departments had not yet started working, so Liu Jingxue went to the post office to make a phone call.

Liu Jingxue, who had been in the army for several years, had a clear understanding of the soldiers' daily routines. By this time, her brother and the others had already been exercising for two hours. If she called him now, she would definitely be able to find him.

She came to the post office yesterday, so she found the place easily.

After the call was connected, Liu Jingxue conveyed her request to find Captain Liu Jianguo, and said that she would call back in 20 minutes, giving the other party enough time to find the person.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Jingxue called the big brother's unit again.

The moment the call was connected, the familiar loud voice of elder brother Liu Jianguo was heard from the other end.

"Hello, I'm Liu Jianguo, is this Xiaoxue?"

Liu Jingxue quickly said, "Brother, it's me, I'm Xiaoxue."

"Xiaoxue, where are you now? Have you arrived at the countryside?"

"Brother, I just arrived at the countryside yesterday. Today I came to town to buy some things and called you by the way."

Liu Jianguo looked at the soldiers sitting in the duty room and hesitated, not knowing how to ask if his younger sister had seen his parents.

Fortunately, Liu Jingxue understood his feelings very well and gave him the answer directly without waiting for him to ask.

“Brother, I have seen the person I wanted to see.

They are fine now, don't worry, I will take good care of them."

After hearing this, Liu Jianguo felt his eyes sore and tears almost came out.

Although he arrived on the island, he did not lose contact with his comrades in the original unit, so naturally he learned the news of his father's accident from them.

After his father got into trouble, Uncle Zhang Zhiming also sent him news.

However, due to the severed relationship and his parents' repeated warnings before he left, he did not dare to inquire.

Now that he finally heard the news from them, you can imagine how excited he was.

But since there were outsiders around, he couldn't show it and had to endure it.

Liu Jingxue knew that the phone calls at that time were not confidential. Not to mention now, even with mobile phones in the future, the security of communications could not be guaranteed. Therefore, she did not dare to say it too obviously.

"Brother, would you mind writing down my new address? Don't send letters to Xinshi anymore. Send them to where I live in the countryside."

Liu Jianguo quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll take a practice note."

After borrowing paper and pen from the soldier on duty, Liu Jianguo wrote down the address of Liu Jingxue's rural location.

"Brother, don't worry about us. We will be fine and take good care of ourselves."

"Okay, brother believes you."

Liu Jingxue asked about her sister-in-law and nephew again, "Brother, are your sister-in-law and Xiao Huzi okay?

Can they adapt to a new place?"

"Don't worry about us, it's been a month already and we've adapted to it.

This place is very remote, with few people and little to do. Although the conditions are a bit harsh, it is a good place to live."

Liu Jingxue understood the meaning of Liu Jianguo's words.

The place is remote, with few people and little to do, so all those messy things can't happen there.

They won't know about my uncle and his comrades being sent down to the countryside, so the impact on my eldest brother and his comrades will be even smaller.

Liu Jingxue said, "Then you can live a peaceful life over there, and you don't have to worry about me."

Thinking of her second brother whom she had not been able to contact, Liu Jingxue hurriedly asked, "Brother, have you contacted my second brother?"

"Not yet, he's been on a secret mission and hasn't come back yet.

Their leader said that there probably won’t be any news in the next six months.

But don't worry, I have given my new contact information to his leader, and he will help convey it."

Liu Jingxue chatted with her eldest brother for a few more words until the people in the queue behind her urged her to do so, and then she hung up the phone.

Before hanging up the phone, the eldest brother told her that he would send her something in the next few days and asked her to pay attention to the package.
