Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Li Xiu also sat down immediately and began to rub her ankle. After walking for a whole day, she had a worried look on her face, and the swelling in her ankle, which had already subsided, started to swell up again.

Qian's mother was a warm-hearted person. When she heard that several people had not eaten yet, she started to prepare dinner after just eating.

Nian Lin came up to check on Tan Yuan's injuries. Guan Jianguo took good care of her. The injuries on her body looked scary, but they were actually nothing serious.

She went to the yard to get some water to wash her hands and change the medicine. She had picked some herbs she saw on the road, and they were just what she needed now.

"Here are these. Just break them up and apply them directly to your ankles."

Nian Lin picked out a few herbs from a pile and gave them to Li Xiu.

This really moved Li Xiu so much that tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't expect that Nian Lin, who looked like he didn't care about anything, would actually pick herbs for her.

The main reason is that the relationship between them is quite ordinary. If it weren't for Tan Yuan, she probably wouldn't even dare to talk to Nian Lin.

Thinking about it this way, I feel even more moved.

"I...I will never run around again."

This incoherent sentence made Tan Yuan burst out laughing.

"Xiu Xiu, think about it, you're not running around, you're clearly helping us."

This was the first time Li Xiu went up the mountain and discovered mushrooms. I won’t talk about that, let’s just talk about this time.

If Li Xiu hadn't fallen, how could they have discovered the sweet potato field and the wild boar, which weighed more than 200 pounds. The meat alone was a lot. If it was made into bacon, it might not last long. If they didn't want to make it, they could exchange it for other things or money. No matter how you looked at it, they didn't lose out.

"You're just trying to comfort me, but you almost died. And the wounds on your body, do you still feel any pain?"

She just sprained her ankle, but Tan Yuan felt heartbroken when she saw all the injuries on her body.

"Hey, let me tell you in secret, I don't want to do any work in the fields. This injury is just right, I can be lazy and not work in the fields."

Especially these hands, they need to be taken good care of. It is really unlikely that I will be able to carry a hoe and go to the fields in the short term.

"Then...then when I get back to work in the fields, I'll give you half of the work points I earn."

How can I get work points if I don't work in the fields? How can I fill my stomach without work points? Li Xiu thought about it and only came up with this solution, but this way she would have to work harder.

Tan Yuan wanted to say no, she was a wealthy woman now and did not need to exchange work points for food to fill her stomach.

"When we get back, run with me."

Nian Lin bandaged Tan Yuan's hand and suddenly said this.

"running?"

Tan Yuan couldn't see, but her ears were sharp. Running? She knew Nianlin would get up early every morning and run around the team. Why? Was it her turn now?

She also wants to sleep until she wakes up naturally!

"Well, you run with me."

In the future, if you encounter any trouble, just run away. If you can't win, just run away. Not only running, but also tree climbing should be practiced well.

"Children, come and taste my cooking."

Mother Qian brought a large bowl of white fish soup. Considering that it was inconvenient for Tan Yuan, she specially brought the fish soup into their room.

In Shuwaizi Village, fish are the least valuable thing. In addition, the reservoir has released water in the past two days. If they want to eat fish, they can just go downstream and set up a net to catch a lot, so there is no need to be stingy.

The fish is not expensive, but the other things are different. I didn’t want to add oil, so I just added a little salt and added some homemade pickled radish to it. It tasted surprisingly good.

It was fresh and sour, very appetizing, especially for Tan Yuan and her friends who had been traveling all day and just wanted to have some barbecue.

Tan Yuan's hands were not convenient for feeding her, so Nian Lin wanted to feed her herself, but was stopped by Qian's mother.

"You guys eat, I'll feed them. I'm not bragging, I've raised at least ten kids, if not twenty. I can handle this little job."

She carefully blew the fish soup cool and picked out all the bones. She dared to guarantee that she had never been so sad even for her own daughter.

Seeing her actions, Nian Lin felt relieved and picked up the fragrant fish soup to drink it in small sips.

"Auntie, your pickled radish is really delicious."

The pickles from Shu are well-known throughout the country. They are sour and spicy, and are especially delicious when cooked with fish. After drinking a bowl, you will unconsciously want a second bowl.

"Haha, who in the brigade wouldn't praise your aunt's pickled cabbage skills? If you like it, I'll get you some to take with you when you leave tomorrow. Everything here is home-grown, so it's free. I'll also get you some jars of water, so you can just find a jar and make some yourself."

When it comes to money, Tan Yuan has an idea in mind. She said that when she returns to the brigade tomorrow, she will ask someone to bring her some local specialties that she brought back from the city, so that she won't be disgusted.

So, in addition to a pot of fish soup, Tan Yuan and her friends also each got a mixed flour steamed bun, and fell asleep with full stomachs.

There were no telephones for communication back then, and they were "missing" for two full days. The team must have been extremely worried.

The next day, just after dawn, Guan Jianguo borrowed an ox cart from the Shuwaizi Brigade, hoping to have it take them a ride.

They were all from the same commune and the distance was not too far. The Shuwaizi team leader readily agreed and asked the tractor drivers of their team to give them a ride. He also gave them some freshly caught fish to nourish them.

The main reason is that this group of people looks so miserable. The three female comrades are newly sent to the countryside as educated youth and need to be well fed.

The diesel-powered tractor is very fast. It takes more than an hour to walk from Shuwaizi Brigade, but the tractor only takes about twenty minutes to arrive.

Whether the tractor is starting or moving, the noise is extremely loud, as if it is afraid that others can't hear it.

So they were noticed as soon as they entered the Huaiyin Brigade.

There are no roads in Huaiyin Brigade, only small paths. People can walk and ride bicycles, but tractors cannot enter. The best they can do is go to the brigade's threshing ground.

It just so happened that these two days they were busy drying the grain, and even the team leader and the branch secretary wanted to sleep in the threshing ground for a whole day, so this became the place with the most people in the Huaiyin Brigade.

No one could have imagined that the person they had searched for the entire day in the mountains yesterday, and even prepared gifts to go up the mountain to look for him today, would actually appear before their eyes on a tractor from the Shuiwazi Brigade...

And those fish, really...

It makes people wonder what to say.

It's good that people are back, it's good that people are back...

When everyone saw Tan Yuan, their eyes were filled with complicated expressions.

"Linlin, go back and get some things for me."
