Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

The winter night comes very quickly. When the two left the field, the sun was still hanging in the sky.

The two of them had just put the flour that Su Heng had exchanged from the members of the cooperative into the pot, and it was already completely dark outside.

Because there was no electricity in the village, Shi Yan had to take the pulse case and sit next to the earthen stove, warming herself by the fire and studying by the light.

Shi Yan planned to seize the time and finish reading all the pulse cases as soon as possible so that she could go to learn from Mr. Sun earlier and make her medical studies known to the villagers as soon as possible.

In this way, when Mr. Sun passes away, Shi Yan will have the opportunity to take over the job of village doctor legitimately.

Blinking her eyes that were a little sore from the firelight, Shi Yan turned to a new page on the pulse case in her hand.

Shi Yan is always very focused when doing anything as long as she puts her mind into it.

Until the words on the pulse case in front of him suddenly became clearer. He looked up abruptly and saw Su Heng, who was carefully protecting the candlestick with a worried look on his face.

"It's not good for your eyes to read like this. I brought a lot of candles with me so that I can use them as a light when I read at night."

"It just so happens that you also need to study, so we can study together."

Listening to Su Heng's words, Shi Yan didn't know if it was because her eyes were not used to the candlelight or something else, but she felt her eyes getting hot and she quickly turned her head to look away.

"I won't use your things for nothing. When I have learned something, I won't charge you for treating you."

Shi Yan felt a little uncomfortable, so her tone inevitably showed it.

Su Heng just curled his lips and spoke in an extremely gentle tone:

"Okay, I'll trouble you from now on."

From that day on, Shi Yan could no longer follow the original owner's temperament. Like a hedgehog, she always rejected Su Heng.

Especially Su Heng, who always used food to nourish Shi Yan as he was still growing, and often exchanged eggs and fine grains from villagers for Shi Yan to eat.

Shi Yan had nothing to give in return. After all, the Shi family was already penniless, so they had to smuggle cabbage, potatoes, and sweet potatoes from the space. These were the rations stored in every household's cellar to feed Su Heng.

She only said that these were the stored grains that had been hidden in her house a long time ago, and verbally said that she would exchange them with Su Heng for those "good things".

In the blink of an eye, Su Heng and his group of newly arrived educated youth had been in the countryside for a month.

It was already the twelfth lunar month when they arrived. After a busy month, it was the end of the year and the whole team was in the slack season.

Next, the village will distribute food, slaughter the New Year pig, and then celebrate the New Year.

The team leader also waved his hand and lent out the team's ox carts, which made two trips into the city every day to make it convenient for the members to go into the city to buy New Year's goods.

Early that morning, Shi Yan was still in a daze when she was dragged up by Su Heng.

"Your cotton-padded jacket is too small, and the cotton in it is not warm enough. Wear my military coat instead. It's New Year's Day, or you might get sick from the cold."

Shi Yan's clothes were all old clothes from her father and mother, which had been altered again and again and no longer fit her.

In addition, in this month, Su Heng fed him all kinds of good things, and Shi Yan always cooked for him in the space.

Her appearance had changed a long time ago. Her originally yellowish skin had long since regained its healthy whiteness, and her thin cheeks had become plump.

The most obvious thing is her height. She was already taller than most girls, but now she has grown several centimeters taller. Now people will no longer mistake her for a child who has not yet grown up.

In addition, Shi Yan has been consciously trying to shed the gloomy nature of his original owner little by little during this period of time. Now when Shi Yan walks out, he can be considered a handsome and thin young man.

But even when Shi Yan walked out of the door like this, there would occasionally be one or two little girls in the village who would blush in front of her.

But when she put on Su Heng's military coat, she looked petite again.

Shi Yan looked at herself again and again in a palm-sized mirror on the table, and tugged at Su Heng's coat, feeling awkward no matter how she looked at it.

It was Su Heng again. He glanced at the sky outside, worried that they were too late and would miss the ox cart into the city, so he reached out and pulled Shi Yan out of the house.

"Hurry up! Otherwise we will miss the ox cart. You promised me yesterday that you would accompany me to the city to pick up the package today."

Su Heng and his group are newly arrived educated youth, so they definitely won’t have annual leave this year.

So before he went to the countryside, his family told him that they would send things over here, and he also prepared the mountain products he exchanged with the members of the commune, as well as the sweet potatoes and potatoes he got from Shi Yan, to send to the city.

"Okay, okay, let's go."

The two of them groped their way in the dark, one step deep and one step shallow, as they walked towards the village entrance. When they arrived at the village entrance, it was already slightly bright, and there were already quite a few people sitting on the ox cart parked at the entrance.

When the two of them approached the ox cart, they finally saw the people on it clearly. They were all educated youths from the educated youth point. Naturally, Liang Rou was among them. She was smiling and talking gently to the people around her.

"Su Zhiqing, you are going to the city today as well. We are a group of educated youth who came here together, and we are going to have a good meal in the city today. Do you want to join us?"

"You don't usually work with us, but it's a rare opportunity to meet you today, why don't we get together?"

A male educated youth sitting at the outermost part of the ox cart also noticed the arrival of Shi Yan and Su Heng, and immediately greeted Su Heng.

His voice also attracted the attention of several other educated youth. Those who were originally excited about going into the city and whispering to each other now turned their attention to him.

"Xiaolei and I are going to the city to buy New Year's goods today. We're going to pick up the package sent from home. I don't know if my time will match yours."

Su Heng got into the car first, then reached out to pull Shi Yan.

As soon as Shi Yan got on the ox cart, she was stared at by everyone on the cart.

"What's your name, comrade? My name is Zhang Heng. I went to the countryside a month ago. I haven't seen you before. When did you go to the countryside?"

After a month of dietary supplements and having recovered some of her supernatural powers, Shi Yan's appearance is still quite intimidating.

After all, the people in this village have been working hard in the fields for generations, and it is difficult to raise a delicate person like Shi Yan, who is as delicate and tender as her. Naturally, these educated youth misunderstood that Shi Yan was also a city dweller who came to the countryside.

"Hello, Comrade Zhang. I'm Shi Lei. You came to my yard the day you first went to the countryside."

The incident of Shi's mother drinking pesticide happened not long ago. When Shi Yan said this, the people in the car immediately showed a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces, and then when they looked at Shi Yan's face, they were surprised again.
