Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused
Chapter 31: The Educated Youth Who Worked Like a Beast for Their Mother's Family 7
"I'm back, I'm finally back."
Lu Weiguo walked back and forth fearing that his youngest son would fall into the ditch. If his eldest son had not had something to do today to accompany his wife back to her parents' home, and he himself had something else to arrange, he would never have let him go alone.
Just as I was thinking of getting up and riding my bike to look for it, I heard someone shouting. I looked up and saw a tractor coming from afar.
"Why are you three hours late?"
"The bus that's picking up the educated youth is still out of order and will take some time. Dad, it's getting late, so you should make arrangements for the educated youth first."
Father Lu didn't think much about it and began to introduce the situation of the brigade.
"Hello everyone, I'm Lu Weiguo, captain of the Xiangyang Brigade. You have one day tomorrow to go to town and buy the missing items. The team's oxcart will leave at 8 o'clock.
You can choose to sleep in a free dormitory or rent a house. The brick house costs two dollars and one cent per month, and the mud house costs one dollar and three cents per month.
Any room without a lock can be rented. The rent is calculated on a quarterly basis and the payment is non-refundable. Once you have made up your mind, please register with Tang Hua, the person in charge of the educated youth.
If you have any questions, you can ask the veteran educated youth in private. It's getting late and you've been on the train for so long, so I won't say anything more. Just get settled in early."
After saying this, Mr. Lu took his youngest son away, not noticing that everyone's attention was on the little girl.
"We've prepared dinner for everyone. You can put your luggage at the kitchen door first. After you finish eating, take a look at the house and decide whether to rent it or not."
Everyone's stomachs were rumbling with hunger, and they all looked at Tang Hua with gratitude.
There was brown rice, scrambled eggs with peppers, and vegetables and tofu on the table, which looked very nice.
The newly arrived educated youth were too embarrassed to take advantage. Xu Tao took out canned meat, Zheng Huaijing took out canned fruit, Guo Yu took out homemade sausages, Xu Limian took out a bag of biscuits, and Zhou Yiyi, who was rich, gave each of them a portion of Beijing pastry. Sun Jiacheng had a grim expression and did not move.
Wang Zhaodi explained her situation openly: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring any food. I'll return it to you when I get the food."
Tang Hua glanced at the old educated youth and saw that they had no objections, so he spoke: "No need to return it. I was planning to treat you all anyway. It's not easy for everyone to come together from all corners of the world. It's thanks to you that we can eat so many delicious foods today. Everyone must be hungry, let's eat first."
The moment the words fell, everyone picked up their chopsticks. No one made a fuss and the meal was a great enjoyment for both the host and the guests.
After dinner, Xu Tao took a fancy to the brick house on the far east side. The house was about 20 square meters and there was a small firewood shed at the back.
She planned to build half a wall to house her own small stove, and then put a fence around the woodshed to enclose her own plot of land. She didn't intend to touch the rest of the land. She might marry Lu Bei soon, so there was no need to waste money.
All the little things that happened at the Youth League Institute would be told to Tang Hua, who would compile a summary of everyone's situation and report it to the team leader.
I briefly explained my idea to him and he agreed. I happily paid three months' rent. I also gave him ten dollars for materials and asked him to let the team leader know. If it wasn't enough, she would make up the difference later.
With the exception of Wang Zhaodi and Sun Jiacheng, the rest of the newly arrived educated youth rented brick houses. After settling their housing needs, Tang Hua took them to the brigade headquarters to collect their food rations.
After finishing all the work, Xu Tao began to organize her own little world.
I wiped the room inside and out with a rag, then found some newspapers from the space and pasted them on the wall next to the kang. When I was done cleaning up, I was so tired that I couldn't straighten my back. I quickly made the bed and fell into a sweet dream.
The night was silent. Lu Bei lay in bed, carefully gazing at the White Rabbit candy in his hand, his lips curled up. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he stood up, dressed, and quietly climbed the wall toward the mountain.
The sunlight streamed into the house. Xu Tao turned over lazily, then realized that she had to go to town to pick up a package today, so she reluctantly got up and put on her clothes.
I don't know what time it is. It's inconvenient without a watch. I'll see if I can find a black market and buy a watch ticket or just buy a watch.
When she arrived, there were only two seats left on the ox cart. The newly arrived male educated youth were all there, and no female educated youth came except her.
"Little girl, sit next to your aunt."
Chen Cuihua asked the old women to squeeze in and patted the seat next to her.
She was fascinated by the fair and tender little girl and dreamed of having a little girl like her.
Unfortunately, the children in the family all look like her husband, and they are all big and strong. The wife he married is good at both housework and outside, but her appearance is a little disappointing.
The fourth daughter-in-law was a pretty girl, and her baby was pretty, but she was in the army and didn't come back often. As for the third daughter-in-law, hehe, she was too lazy to mention it.
But she didn't want to kidnap someone to be her daughter-in-law. Girls in the city have high standards. She wasn't belittling her youngest son, but in a word, it was a foolish dream.
"Thank you, aunt."
Facing her future mother-in-law, Xu Tao smiled sweetly with two dimples. She knew her mother-in-law liked cute little girls. In her previous life, she was lazy and cunning, and the other party often compromised when she saw her acting coquettishly.
Chen Cuihua covered her other restless hand with one hand, fearing that she would lose control and touch the other person's face.
This little girl is so fair and pretty, I just feel attracted to her no matter how I look at her.
On the way, she talked about the situation of Xiangyang Brigade in great detail, even telling about her own affairs. She also patted her chest and promised that if she had any problems in the future, she would find her husband and he would definitely solve them.
Xu Tao agreed with a smile, and kept praising her. Chen Cuihua wanted to have her as her goddaughter. This scared her so much that she jumped off the ox cart as soon as she arrived.
"Auntie Chen, I'm going to pick up the package first~"
"Slow down and don't fall!"
The little baby's voice was sweet and soft. Chen Cuihua covered her chest and kept watching the figure disappear before she remembered to take care of her own things.
The other ladies rubbed their goose bumps and looked puzzled. Is this still the invincible Chen Cuihua from Xiangyang Brigade?
Xu Tao had experience in finding the black market. After strolling around for half an hour, he found the place and paid two cents to enter easily.
He wiped some dust on his face and tied a simple scarf on his head, but didn't do any other disguise. He was just here to buy things, so there was no need to wear too much makeup.
I first bought a backpack with a lid for ten cents. Then I ran into a man selling dried jujubes for 1.2 yuan per catty, and after a lot of bargaining, he got the price down to 3.4 yuan for three catties.
Since there was nothing else I liked, I planned to retreat, and on the way I came across a fruit seller in the corner.
"Grandma, how much are these apples, pears, and grapes?" As I approached, I could smell the rich fruity aroma and my saliva started to water.
The other party lowered his voice and said, "Apples and pears are one yuan per pound, and grapes are one yuan and three cents per pound."
This time Xu Tao didn't bargain and bought all the stock, spending a total of twenty-eight dollars and fifty cents.
After buying the tickets, I walked to the door but didn’t encounter any ticket scalpers. I will have to wait and see next time.
What she didn't notice was that the aunt did not leave after selling the apples. She just changed her position and lifted a corner of the cloth again, revealing the red apples.
