Quick Wear: True and False Life

They arrived the next morning. Following the crowded crowd, Fang Nan finally got off the bus, carrying a small bag on her back and another bag in her hand.

As soon as he got out of the station, he heard someone shouting loudly, asking which village was on this side and which village was on that side. When he heard Shanghe Village, Fang Nan identified the direction and strode over.

"You from Shanghe Village, come and stand behind me." Lu Chengming asked Fang Nan to walk over and stand behind him.

Fang Nan stood behind Lu Chengming carrying her bag. After that, more educated youth came one after another, including the two people sitting opposite her on the train. In total, there were nine people.

After everyone arrived, Lu Chengming counted the people in the notebook and confirmed that they were all right. He said, "It's early now, so you don't have to work today. If you need anything, you can buy it in town and bring it back with you. Everyone will gather at the town gate over there. If you have things that are inconvenient to carry, you can put them on the ox cart first."

After listening to Lu Chengming's words, Fang Nan asked him for the direction of the post office, then put the bag on the ox cart and left.

The other educated youth saw that she left quickly, so most of them agreed to go in a team to buy some, except for a thin female educated youth who had no money to follow Lu Chengming. After all, the autumn harvest was coming soon, and they might not have time to come to the town after going to work.

“Serve the people, save or take.”

"Fang Nan, pick up the package." Fang Nan said as he handed over the certificate.

After Fang Nan picked up the two packages, he rented a cart for two cents, stacked the two packages together and tied them to the cart with ropes. The packages were so large that the cart seemed very small. After testing its stability, he left the post office and pushed into a secluded alley. He put the package sent by his foster mother into the alley before pushing the cart towards the town gate.

Lu Chengming saw Fang Nan pushing a cart towards him from a distance, so he stepped forward to help. After the cart stopped, he helped Fang Nan move the package onto the ox cart.

After thanking Lu Chengming, Fang Nan pushed the cart back to the post office. After returning the cart, seeing that it was getting late, he asked for the direction of the People's Hotel and planned to go there to eat something.

As soon as he entered the People's Hotel, he saw that many of his fellow passengers knew to eat here. Fang Nan looked at the board on the window, which wrote what was on sale today. He ordered a bowl of plain noodles, a portion of rice, a portion of braised pork, and ten meat buns. After paying the bill, Fang Nan found a table and sat down to wait.

"Comrade Fang Nan, come and serve the dishes." The girl who took the orders called out into the notebook.

Upon hearing this, Fang Nan hurriedly brought her food back to the table in several batches. She put down her backpack and took out two aluminum lunch boxes. She put the rice and braised pork in them first, and poured the extra soup over the rice.

She planned to open the rice and meat buns and let them cool down while eating the noodles, so that they wouldn't spoil in the hot weather. The noodles tasted good and the portion was large, so Fang Nan felt a little full after eating them.

After the meal, Fang Nan took out two cloth bags, covered the lunch boxes and put them inside one, and directly poured the meat buns into the other one. After packing everything up, he left the restaurant.

He found a secluded place nearby, wrapped four meat buns in paper and left them there, then put the rest into the system space.

When Fang Nan returned to the town gate, five educated youth had already returned. She didn't talk to them, after all, she was not familiar with them. From the original owner's memory, it can be seen that most of the educated youth were worried and too lazy to pay attention.

She took the initiative to sit next to the coachman and Lu Chengming. It was quite cool under the shade of the willows.

"Uncle, what's your name?"

"You can call him Uncle Lu, and just call me Uncle Lu." Lu Chengming looked at his uncle who was smoking, then at Fang Nan and said.

Lu Chengming felt that although this girl was young and looked delicate and tender, she was quiet, generous and never beat around the bush, and her personality was the most likable among these educated youth.

"Uncle Lu, I see it's already afternoon and you haven't eaten yet. Thank you for helping me move the packages just now. I'll treat Uncle Lu and Mr. Lu to a steamed bun each as a token of my gratitude."

Fang Nan took one out of the paper bag and handed it to Uncle Lu first. The two looked at each other and knew that the educated youth had something to do, but he had just arrived in the village and could only inquire about the educated youth's situation. So he motioned to his uncle to take it, and he took it and ate it.

"Little girl, what do you want to know?" Lu Chengming said while eating.

"Uncle Lu, I heard that the residence of the educated youth is crowded and inconvenient to live in. I would like to hear if there are any other solutions."

"There are more than a dozen people living in the educated youth residence now. Your group can only arrange for one man and two women, and the others will be arranged to live in the villagers' homes." "Uncle Lu, can I rent a house alone?" Fang Nan thought for a while. Both methods were not feasible. People are noisy and he has many secrets. It is better for him to live alone.

Lu Chengming was quite surprised. In the past few years when the educated youth went to the countryside, there was no shortage of accommodation because they moved around frequently. There were also many educated youth assigned this time, so the village arranged for them to live in the villagers' homes after discussion. He had not thought of renting a house.

He pondered for a while and thought that this was a good idea. It could reduce internal conflicts and generate income for the village. There were several vacant houses in the village now. If the educated youth were willing to renovate them themselves, it would be fine to rent them out.

"It should be possible, but you have to pay for the repairs yourself. After all, it's a bit old."

"Then please introduce it to me, Uncle Lu. I'm willing to rent it." Fang Nan replied happily when he heard that he could rent it.

At this time, the last educated youth who went out to sell things also came back. Lu Chengming counted that everyone was present, and then asked them to put all the things on the ox cart and follow behind.

It was fine at the beginning, but the weather was too hot. After walking for a while, Fang Nan could no longer hear the chattering of the educated youth, and his ears became much quieter. At this time, he heard a "Ah!" in front of him, and a girl named Li Qin fell to the ground and couldn't speak.

"Uncle Lu, Li Qin broke her foot. Can she get in the car?" The boy who lived in the same place as Li Qin tried to help her up.

"That won't work. Don't you see that the ox cart is full? Do I have to walk by myself? What if the ox is crushed?" Lu Chengming glanced at the offending person and retorted.

Fang Nan thought that Uncle Lu should have seen through Li Qin's little tricks just like her. Since she fell down on purpose in order to get on the ox cart, he would let her pretend and not be able to get on the cart. Anyway, he would not be the one to suffer.

According to Fang Nan, suffering a loss is not a blessing, it is simply injustice. If the boy doesn't grow up smart, he will be exhausted to death.

Along the way, Yang Yue demonstrated with his own actions what Fang Nan was thinking, and was confused by this educated youth named Li Qin.

Sometimes her feet hurt and she needed support, sometimes she was thirsty and needed to drink water, sometimes she couldn't walk and needed to rest, and so on. In this way, Yang Yue was dragged down by her and hung far behind the car.

When they finally arrived outside the village youth dormitory, Fang Nan saw Yang Yue squatting under a tree, gasping for breath like a dog due to the heat. When he was assigning a place to live, he got up so hard that he almost fell to the ground. Li Qin next to him seemed fine. Fang Nan didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, the male comrade next to him saw what was going on and helped Yang Yue in time, and gave him some water. After drinking the water, he felt better after a while.

"Don't be so kind next time." The man glanced at Li Qin and whispered in Yang Yue's ear, motioning him to look at Li Qin's condition. She didn't look like an injured person at all.
