After traveling through time, she happily became the group's favorite

When the eight of them walked up to the ox cart, the people on the cart looked at the new educated youth in front of them, each of whom was carrying a lot of things.

Moreover, the eight people were carrying four large backpacks, which were full of things. No one knew what was inside. Looking at the scene in front of them, the people on the ox cart felt itchy.

Uncle Zhang looked at the scene before him and shouted before the group of old women in the car could even speak: "Hey, Wang Zhiqing, you guys are finally back. Hurry up and get in the car and get ready to go back! We have to eat lunch when we get home!"

Wang Wenxiang and others also quickly climbed onto the ox cart and placed the backpacks in front of them, guarding them tightly. The others also held on to the items they bought and refused to let go.

After everyone gathered and the items were neatly arranged, Lin Sitian took out a handful of fruit candies when the group of aunties were about to speak again, stopped them from speaking, and gave each of them two fruit candies and said:

"Hey, uncle and auntie, have you been waiting for a long time? Here are two candies for you to lick your lips. Thank you for waiting here for us and not looking down on us. Thank you so much!"

The group of old men and women who received the fruit candies didn't dare to search the baskets of people carrying them. They just laughed and said, "It's not a big deal. We have to wait anyway."

Uncle Zhang, who was driving the cart, seemed to have known this scene for a long time. He took the candy, put it in his pocket, and then drove the cart seriously.

After a minute of silence, the group of old men and women started asking indirect questions. Perhaps because it was Lin Sitian who gave them the candy, they started by asking Lin Sitian:

"Hey, Xiaolin, where did you buy all these things? You can't buy so many things at the supply and marketing cooperative!"

Seeing someone ask, another person also asked at the right time: "Yes, yes, and there are such fresh vegetables. And I see there is coarse cloth on the skin of your backpack. You must have some connections to buy this cloth."

Lin Sitian thought that in this situation, she had to bring out Zhou Xiaoyun, whom she knew, to let others know that she had a backer and connections, so that fewer people would have their eyes on her courtyard.

So he responded cheerfully: "Hey, shouldn't I go to the countryside? It just so happens that my brother is serving in the army here, as a small regiment commander of the 23rd Army of Heilongjiang not far from us, so he made some arrangements for me.

Then my friend works in the post office, his father is the director of the county police station, and my friend's mother teaches in the county elementary school.

Most of our supplies were prepared for us in advance by my brother and my friends, so we were able to buy so many supplies as soon as we went to the countryside. We bought the rest of the things at the supply and marketing cooperative.

We may be able to buy so many supplies this time, but we may not be able to do so next time."

The uncles and aunties who were waiting on the oxcart for an answer were all shocked when they heard it. This educated youth, Xiaolin, had such a good family background, not only did he have a brother who was a regiment leader, but he also had the police chief as his backer. He had to go back and teach his son a lesson, and he couldn't mess with the people in that courtyard.

The other educated youth also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lin Sitian's answer. After all, they didn't know how to answer the questions of these uncles and aunts, and the supplies they received were indeed eye-catching.

This answer not only shows that this group of people have backing and connections, but also shows that the source of these materials is reasonable.

After Lin Sitian finished speaking, the other uncles and aunts changed the subject and started talking about other things.

During this thrilling conversation, the oxcart slowly arrived at the village. After paying for the oxcart, when everyone was about to leave, Wang Wenxiang called out to the captain's wife:

"Wait a moment, Mrs. Zhou. We have something for you to tell the captain."

Seeing that there was something exciting to watch, everyone stopped and asked what the new educated youth wanted to say to the captain's wife:

"Well, our wall isn't high enough. Could you please ask the team leader to get some young people or laborers on the team to raise the wall for us? We'll use our connections to get some broken glass to put on top of it."

The captain's wife only had this little thing to do that day, so she immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll tell your captain uncle when I get home. Your captain uncle will tell you the details when we go to work tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Captain."

After saying these words, the eight educated youth carried the baskets on their backs and the things in their hands and went to the small courtyard they rented. The villagers they met on the way also talked about them.

After all, they hired an ox cart to haul so many packages back, and they had so many things to bring back to the compound. They also ordered so much furniture from Old Zhao's house, and now they are carrying so many things back. These new educated youth are really rich.

So when the eight of them returned to their rented house to pack their belongings, rumors about them began to spread in the brigade.

Some say they are very rich and generous.

Some say they don’t know how to live in poverty or to live a good life.

There are also people who are jealous and say some insignificant sour remarks.

Some people who were planning to take advantage of them found out that these new educated youth not only had a brother who was a regiment leader, but also a friend of their father who was the director of the Public Security Bureau in the town, so they gave up their evil thoughts.

...............

As for the rumors outside, no one in the courtyard knew about it. Maybe they knew about it? But there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, there were indeed a lot of things to buy on the first day.

After returning to the courtyard, everyone gathered the things they had bought together, putting the personal items in their personal rooms and the collective items in the collective hall or kitchen.

I also calculated the total cost of the supplies purchased collectively and distributed the money equally to each person.

After a while of chaotic and busy work, they finally gathered all the supplies. Bai Wanting volunteered to make chicken soup, and the remaining chicken was hung in the kitchen vent.

Yun Ya also divided the 50 kilograms of fresh pork she bought into many small pieces. She took out two small pieces to eat as fresh meat, and marinated the rest of the meat with salt and hung it on the wall to dry into bacon.

Xia Zhiyan went to wash the vegetables, while Lin Sitian was responsible for lighting the fire.

The rest of the male educated youth were cleaning, fetching water, and storing the purchased supplies.

With everyone working together, they finally drank chicken soup, ate stir-fried pork with green peppers, fried an egg and some green vegetables before dark, and most importantly, cooked white rice.

Wang Wenxiang looked at the food in front of him and encouraged everyone: "Everyone, eat well today, eat more meat and vegetables. Tomorrow you will start work. When you go to work tomorrow, you must wear gloves and hats. Do what you can, don't try too hard, and do as much as you can."

Everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks and replied in unison: "Got it."

After saying this, everyone was immersed in the food in front of them. After all, the white rice combined with Bai Zhiqing's cooking skills were truly amazing.
