Surprise! Traveling through the book and going to the countryside, eating melons and watching plays

The poor man, Carpenter Sun, mentioned by Aunt Wang is not from this village. He escaped from famine. He has no house and no money, but fortunately he has a skill.

Later, he married a girl named Wang from the same village who had been in poor health since childhood. After much difficulty, she gave birth to Sun Jianguo, but her health was also damaged as a result.

Sun Jianguo was very successful when he grew up. He joined the army, his position was promoted rapidly, he sent his allowance back home every month, married a nurse, and had a lovely boy.

The old couple thought that their hardship had finally paid off, but they didn't expect that both of them died on the battlefield. The army sent the child back to them. Aunt Sun had a weak constitution to begin with, and the sudden bad news took her life. From then on, Carpenter Sun had to take care of his grandson Goudan alone.

The villagers felt sorry for him and thought he had a skill, so they let him do some carpentry work at home, giving him 8 work points every day. If someone came to buy something, they would also give them some labor fees. With this skill and the pension, the grandfather and grandson could barely make ends meet.

"Grandpa, Grandma Wang is here, please come out quickly." Goudan saw someone coming and shouted into the house.

"Here you are, sister. Why are you here today? Do you want to buy something?" Lin Ru saw the person coming. She looked thin and had a slightly hunched back.

"These two new educated youth want to exchange some things." Aunt Wang said as she made way for the two people following behind her.

"Hello, Uncle Sun. I want a kang cabinet, two straw mats, two backpacks, one large and one small, two washbasins, and a straw hat."

After Shen Xiyan heard this, she thought for a moment and said, "I want the same thing as she does."

"Okay, they're all in the room next door. Just go to the brigade headquarters, pay the money, and come get them."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Sun." Lin Ru took out two dollars and put them on the table. Seeing this, Shen Xiyan also gave him two dollars.

"We don't need so much. The village approved the wood for free, and the brigade also recorded the centimeters."

"Uncle Sun, please accept it. We may have to trouble you again in the future. We are leaving now and will come back to get the things later."

Lin Ru saw Goudan standing by and looking at them curiously, so she walked over and stuffed a handful of fruit candies into his hands. His little eyes immediately sparkled, but he looked at his grandfather uncertainly.

Carpenter Sun looked at the child's eager eyes and nodded. Goudan immediately put the candy into his pocket and smiled sweetly at Lin Ru: "Thank you, sister!"

"Goudan is so polite." Lin Ru touched Goudan's head and liked this sensible and pitiful child very much.

After thanking Aunt Wang, they parted ways. Lin Ru and Shen Xiyan went to the brigade headquarters to pay the money and receive their rations. As they were not well-informed, they did not expect that they had to bring their own food bags, so they changed for another one.

With the help of the male educated youth, I took back all the things I bought from Carpenter Sun, packed them up, and thought that I could finally lie down and sleep at night!

I haven't taken a shower during the past few days on the train. I didn't feel anything before, but now when I think about taking a shower, I feel dirty and itchy all over.

There was no special place for bathing in the educated youth camp. The male educated youth would go to the river in the summer, while the female educated youth would just wash themselves in the kitchen. If they wanted to take a good bath, they had to go to the county bathhouse.

After dinner, I quickly went to the kitchen, locked the door and prepared to take a bath. I thought I should buy a bathtub and put it in the space so that I could take a bath.

I added some well water when washing. You know what, my skin felt more moisturized and shiny after washing. It seems that well water is a good thing. I should drink it more and use it more, and become an old fairy with eternal youth, haha...

Just as she was feeling smug, she seemed to feel someone was looking at her. Was someone peeping at her? She quickly put on her clothes and walked out. There was no one in the kitchen, but she felt that she was not wrong.

Sure enough, Lin Ru carefully examined the wall that seemed problematic and found a small hole. He first blocked the hole with paper and then repaired it properly later. But he didn't know who was the peeping person.

Seeing that Shen Xiyan also wanted to take a shower, Lin Ru told her about this matter. She then prepared a curtain and went in. Since this matter was not glorious and it was not easy to make it public, she could only observe secretly, hoping to catch this peeping Tom as soon as possible.

I can finally lie down to sleep. I can go to the county town tomorrow. I can finally use the space. I was afraid that I would be too excited to sleep, but I fell asleep in a short while.

There happened to be a bullock cart going to the county town today, and several newly arrived educated youth paid ten cents each and got on the cart.

They didn't know each other very well, so they went their separate ways when they arrived in the county. It was natural for Jiang Chenxi and Shen Xiyan to go together.

Lin Ru was afraid that her parents would worry, so she went to the post office to write a letter to her family to let them know she was safe. After writing the letter and checking if there was any package for her, she prepared to go to the legendary black market to take a look.

She found a deserted place and entered the space to disguise herself. When she came out, she was still carrying the backpack she brought from the educated youth point.

Based on my previous experience of reading novels, I found a small alley, and when I saw people coming out of it, they were all happy, so I thought this must be the place.

When she walked in, she saw someone standing there. When she saw Lin Ru coming over, she quickly glanced at her vigilantly.

"What?"

"shopping."

"Five cents."

Lin Ru handed over the money, and the man stepped aside and let her in. When she got inside, she found that there were quite a lot of people inside.

There were vendors on both sides of the road, but not all the goods were on display. Some only had samples out, while others had just opened a hole in the cloth on their backpacks. I guess this was so they could pack up and run away if something happened.

Lin Ru wandered around for a long time and finally found wheat and rice in shells, which is wheat itself, not ground into flour. These two should be able to be grown in the space. She also bought an old hen and six chicks, thinking of putting them in the space first to see if they can survive.

I carried the things out of the black market and found a secluded place where no one was around to enter the space. The chicks didn't feel any discomfort and were fluttering around happily. That's good. Now I can raise all kinds of small animals in there without any worries.

With a thought, all the wheat and rice seeds were neatly planted in the ground, which made Lin Ru very happy. She also watered them and wished them to grow up quickly, little money seeds.

Lin Ru changed back into her clothes and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative carrying only an empty backpack, thinking that she had to buy a toothbrush, a towel and other things this time.

When Lin Ru arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and saw the crowded scene, her scalp tingled, but she could not afford to retreat. She gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and rushed in.

After being stepped on countless times and losing two taels of flesh, I finally bought what I wanted. Looking at the backpack filled with things, I thought that the squeeze was worth it and I felt very happy.

This time, I not only bought daily necessities, but also bought seasonings such as chili peppers, bay leaves, cinnamon, etc. that are not available in the space. There is no problem at all if I want to cook in the space.

After a fierce meal, I was hungry. It was getting late, so I came to the legendary state-owned restaurant. I hurried over and found it was packed with almost no empty seats. Several other educated youths who came with me also shared a table.

"Lin Zhiqing, here."

Shen Xiyan saw Lin Ru coming in and waved for her to sit over. When she walked over, she found that Shen Xiyan and Jiang Chenxi had braised pork, stir-fried meat with fungus, and stir-fried vegetables in front of them, Gu Mohan had a plate of dumplings in front of him, Zhang Weiguo had a bowl of noodles with meat sauce, and Zhang Yan had a bowl of plain noodles.

"Then I'll sit here." Lin Ru said as he put the backpack on the open space next to him, walked to the window and finally bought the braised pork he had been craving for, and also bought a bowl of rice. These two things go really well together!

I couldn't wait to pick up a piece with chopsticks. Before I put it in my mouth, the unique strong sugar aroma hit my nose. It was smooth and tender, oily but not greasy, and melted in my mouth. It was so satisfying.

I finished the braised pork and rice without realizing it, and my stomach was so full. Next time I will buy a few more portions when I come alone, and put them in the space to eat slowly. The space has a fresh-keeping function anyway, so it will remain the same as it was when I take it out.

After enjoying a delicious lunch, I asked what time it was. It was still early, so why not go to the scrap yard to look for high school textbooks to prepare for the college entrance examination early and play a treasure hunt game. I wonder if I can find any treasures in this place that the heroine must go to?
