Following her parents' demotion, she married a soldier and became a relative of the chief of th

Xu Nuannuan could actually do it herself, so she smiled and said, "No, I can carry it myself, don't bother your brother."

"Then let me help you." She stretched out her thin arms. "Don't look at me because I'm skinny. I don't have any flesh on my body, but I'm very strong. Oh, I mean, I have a lot of strength."

Xu Nuannuan couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking about how cute Jiang's mother was. She wondered if their whole family was full of such funny people.

But when she thought of Jiang Ye's face, which was as cold as ice, she began to deny her own idea.

Or maybe Jiang Ye is a reserved type, cold on the surface but lively on the inside.

"Just think of it as following me for a stroll."

"okay."

Shen Mengan saw Jiang Ting wandering around the street in a lazy manner, but didn't say anything.

What rules are there with a madman?

Anyway, if they don't earn work points, they will be given less food, and it's their own business if they go hungry.

When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, each educated youth received 40 kilograms of sorghum and 60 kilograms of corn cobs. They had to thresh the cobs themselves after returning, and the remaining 10 kilograms of wheat were gone.

All these weighed a total of 110 kilograms. There were three bags. Jiang Ting took the 60-kilogram one first, Xu Nuannuan put the 40-kilogram one on her shoulder, and Xiaomai just carried it directly.

Li Miao was not as strong as them and could not carry so much food. Xu Nuannuan estimated that she could not even carry 60 kilograms of food, so she helped her carry one 60-kilogram bag and she carried the remaining two by herself.

The weakest person here was Yu Qingqing. She couldn't carry away so much food. Fu Yunqi happened to be next to her, so she shamelessly said to Fu Yunqi, "Aren't you just too busy to meddle in other people's business? Please help me transport this food back to the educated youth camp."

Fu Yunqi immediately waved his finger in rejection: "First, I didn't eat too much today, I'm still a little hungry." He subconsciously touched his stomach: "Second, I never meddle in the affairs of people like you, unless I eat shit."

Chen Dalu heard this and came over: "Hey, Old Fu, how many times have I told you to stop talking about 'shit' all the time? Don't you think it stinks?"

"go away."

Fu Yunqi carried his own food and left the brigade headquarters directly, and Chen Dalu followed him.

Yu Qingqing had no choice but to go to Wu Zhiguo again, but Wu Zhiguo didn't want to work for nothing this time.

"Yu Zhiqing, I've helped you many times. I didn't have enough to eat at noon, and you still want me to do so much work. I can't handle it."

"Me, you help me carry it over, and I'll give you some of my food."

"Okay, let me help you."

The two men discussed the remuneration in detail, and only when Wu Zhiguo was satisfied did he agree to help Yu Qingqing transport the food.

The educated youth point was on the edge of the village, and the brigade headquarters was in the center of the village. The two places were nearly two miles apart. Except for Xu Nuannuan, the educated youth felt very tired after transporting the food.

Jiang Ting helped Xu Nuannuan put the food away and was reluctant to leave, but she still had to go to the fields to work, so she said goodbye to Xu Nuannuan: "Sister, I have to go to the fields to work, goodbye!"

Xu Nuannuan sent her to the entrance of the educated youth camp: "We also have to go to the fields to work the day after tomorrow. I hope we can work together."

"That's great. By the way, sister, you may not know my name yet. My name is Jiang Ting."

"My name is Xu Nuannuan, can I call you Tingting?"

"Of course, Sister Nuannuan, you have a good rest, I'm leaving now."

"See you!"

When Xu Nuannuan returned to the house, Li Miao was already lying on the kang to rest. Seeing her, he asked, "Nuannuan, aren't you tired? Come on, lie down and rest. You've been on the train for a whole day and night, and then on a bus, a tractor, and an oxcart. This is the first time I've ridden so many vehicles at once, and I also moved grain. I'm so tired."

Xu Nuannuan wanted to go to the cowshed to see her parents, but Li Miao was too tired to follow her.

"Miaomiao, I'm not tired at all. I want to go out for a walk. If you're too tired, you can just rest at the educated youth camp."

Li Miao knew Xu Nuannuan's skills and that her physical strength was definitely not something she could match, so he nodded and said, "Then Nuannuan, you go. I'm really too tired to accompany you."

"It's okay, you can rest."

After Xu Nuannuan finished explaining things to her, she left the educated youth center.

The cowshed was less than 200 meters away from the educated youth site. Following her memories from her previous life, Xu Nuannuan crossed a cornfield and quickly arrived at the cowshed.

The cowshed here consists of only three low and dilapidated houses, with a straw shed next to it. It should be where the brigade raised livestock in the past. Now there is no livestock. The livestock may have been driven to other places to be raised. It can be seen that the simple house is even worse than the one for the livestock.

She originally wanted to take some things out of the space to give to her parents, but she was worried that it would be inconvenient for other people in the cowshed, so she wanted to understand the situation first.

She walked to the door of the first room, leaned against the wall and looked inside. She actually saw her parents. Seeing that there was no one else here, she walked in.

"Dad, mom."

Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suhuan were both surprised and delighted to see her coming.

"Nuannuan, you're here." Xu Zhenqing was lying on the earthen kang with an injured calf. Fang Suyun hurried over to greet him: "Nuannuan, we thought it would take you a few days to get here, but we didn't expect you to come so soon. We just arrived here yesterday."

"The day you left Anshi, I went to the Youth Corps Office to sign up. Coincidentally, there were some educated youth coming here the next day, so I hurried over."

Xu Nuannuan was afraid that they would worry about the house and other things at home: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I've already told Aunt Chang to help us look after the house. Maybe we'll be able to go back soon."

"go back?"

Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun looked at each other, their eyes revealing a look of expectation and some dejection.

Xu Zhenqing seemed to be muttering to himself, "Can we still go back? Quite a few intellectuals and cadres have been sent down to the countryside over the years, and I haven't heard of any who have been able to return."

"Dad, just because they didn't go back doesn't mean they can't go back in the future. The world is constantly changing. None of us would have thought that we would be sent to the countryside after living in the city. Things we couldn't imagine before have happened, and things we can't imagine now are likely to happen in the future."

Fang Suyun smiled and said, "My daughter is right. The situation is constantly changing. I really hope that one day, this kind of thing will no longer happen. Everyone can live a peaceful life, work hard at their jobs, and live their lives well."

Even these most ordinary things are just fantasies to them.

Xu Zhenqing also smiled after hearing this: "I hope everything is developing in a good direction."

As soon as Xu Nuannuan came in, she noticed Xu Zhenqing's leg injury and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with your leg?"

Xu Zhenqing told Xu Nuannuan that he was injured as soon as he arrived yesterday.

"Your mom and I just arrived yesterday. We don't have to work these past two days, so we're sharing meals with a former comrade here, Mo Wuwei. He's gone to work, so your mom and I wanted to go to the mountains to collect some firewood. Who would have thought we'd encounter a wild boar on our first trip up the mountain? Oh, what bad luck! I tried to chase it away to prevent it from attacking your mom, but ended up getting bit by its fangs."

Fang Suyun continued, "Luckily, a young man arrived in time and helped us drive away the wild boar. He then carried your father down the mountain and brought us a bottle of medicine from home. The young man is really nice, and his mother is also very kind-hearted. Today they hunted rabbits, cooked the rabbit meat, and sent some to us, saying it was for your father's wounds. Look, how nice."

"rabbit."

When Xu Nuannuan heard the word "rabbit", she suddenly remembered the rabbit that Jiang's mother was carrying today.

These two people are most likely Jiang's mother and Jiang Ye.

While checking Xu Zhenqing's wound, Xu Nuannuan asked Fang Suyun, "Mom, what does this young man you're talking about look like? Maybe I've seen him before."

"He's really tall, taller than your father, and quite fair. I thought people in the countryside would get tanned from working in the fields every day, but I didn't expect to see such a fair-skinned guy. Not only is he tall, he's also handsome, even more handsome than those guys in our city."

Xu Zhenqing smiled: "I see you are so happy when you describe it, as if you are looking for a son-in-law for our daughter."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Nuannuan, realized something, and suddenly shut up, afraid that Xu Nuannuan would be unhappy: "Nuannuan, don't listen to Dad's nonsense. Dad just didn't keep his mouth shut."

He slapped his mouth and said, "Look at my mouth."

Xu Nuannuan smiled and said, "Dad, I don't care. You don't have to blame yourself. Just don't let others hear it, or they will misunderstand you."

"No, no, Dad won't say that anymore. They're just so kind, we have to repay them well in the future."

Xu Nuannuan already knew that the person her mother was talking about was Jiang Ye.

"Dad, Mom, I actually know this young man you're talking about. He was the one who drove the ox cart that brought us educated youth from the commune today. I also met his mother, his sister, and his brother at the educated youth site. They're all a nice family of four and quite fun."

"You even met his family."

"Yes, except his father."

"They must be a good family."

"That is."

After all, Xu Nuannuan had already seen it. Mei Xiangcao collected the bodies of her parents in her previous life, Jiang Ye sent them rabbit meat, Jiang Ting was very cute and kind-hearted, and Jiang Yang looked a little naughty, but he was also a good guy.

As for Jiang's father, Xu Nuannuan has never met him, so it is hard to guess his character, but he should be a very good person.

"Dad, even though we're a little down and out right now, as long as they need me, I'll definitely do my best to help."

Xu Zhenqing frowned: "Nuannuan, you don't have to worry about these things. You are a girl, just take care of yourself."

Xu Nuannuan nodded. Anyway, her parents would not go to the village, and they didn’t know what she was doing. If the Jiang family needed her, she would definitely not stand idly by.

She saw that Xu Zhenqing's wound had already scabbed over, but if he drank some spiritual spring water, it would definitely heal faster.

She looked around the room. The kitchen was inside. She went in and put some spiritual spring water into the water tank.

She stood up and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to check your kitchen."

He walked a few steps into the kitchen, and fearing that Fang Suyun would follow him in, he quickly added some spiritual spring water into the water tank.

Sure enough, Fang Suyun came in just as she finished adding.

"Nuannuan, this place is better than we thought. We are having dinner with Comrade Mo now. Comrade Mo is also a very good person and very easy to get along with."

"That's good."

Xu Nuannuan was very pleased that her parents met good people here, which was much better than being plotted against by their relatives in the city.

Xu Nuannuan didn't stay here for long and said goodbye to her parents.

"Dad, Mom, I have something to do at the educated youth camp later. I'm leaving now. I'll come see you later when I have time."

"My daughter, just take care of yourself. Try not to come here too often. It's not good if people see you." Old lady Xu Zhenqing warned.

"I understand, Dad. I'll pay attention."

Before Xu Nuannuan left, she took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from her pocket and gave them to her parents. "Mom, Dad, I bought these at home. I have other things, I'll bring them back for you next time I come."

There was no other way. She couldn't let her parents know the secret that she had a space for the time being, for fear that it would scare them.

Fang Suyun sent her to the door. Seeing that there was no one around, she returned to the educated youth point along the original route.

Because she had eaten little at noon, she was hungry again. She took out two eggs from the space, peeled them and ate them, then put the egg shells back into the space.
