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

"Ah? This...this...I forgot too. You know what happened yesterday. I was so tired that I just heard someone say it in a daze..."

The two people's voices gradually became lower until Tan Yuan could no longer hear them.

Tan Yuan sneered. Where did the educated youth fishing come from? It was just something made up by Luo Linlin.

If this succeeds, Li Xiu is a weak person who can be bullied, so the fish will naturally fall into her hands. If it fails, it will be Tian Cuiying's fault, and it has nothing to do with her, Luo Linlin.

On the contrary, she was helping to persuade her, but Tian Cuiying didn't listen. It was not her fault; instead, she should be thanked.

Tan Yuan shook her head. It had been two lifetimes, but how come her personality was still exactly the same? Even her methods were the same, not clever at all. Only Tian Cuiying was so stupid to be her knife for so many years.

There were many people at the educated youth site, and many people had to eat. Everyone ate from a big pot. Two people were left every day to be responsible for cooking and cleaning, and the people who went to work would help those two people with their work.

This can ensure the interests of the majority of people, but it also has its disadvantages, which is that it is easy for you to eat more and I to eat less when everyone is eating.

In my previous life, the people at the educated youth site often argued about this.

Tan Yuan didn't plan to live here for a long time in her life, so she had to find a reason to move out with Nian Lin. As for Li Xiu, as long as she was willing, it was fine for them to move out together.

But these are all later matters. The most urgent issue now is cooking.

"It's okay, Yuanyuan, you stay here. I'll go back to the temporary shelter and cook."

When it’s ready, just bring it over in a lunch box. It’s better than waiting here.

Tan Yuan grabbed Li Xiu who was about to leave in a hurry.

"Have you forgotten the heavy rain the night before last?"

The temporary shelter is leaking, how can the even more rudimentary small kitchen outside be in good condition?

Leaking is nothing, just clean it up. The key is that the firewood has been soaked and is no longer usable. Not only will it not light, it will also emit a lot of black smoke, which is not edible.

There really is nothing we can do now. We can only wait for Tian Cuiying and Luo Linlin to cook the meal ordered by the educated youth.

Li Xiu couldn't sit still, so he simply went to the mountain to collect firewood.

Although she had not met other people at the resettlement site, she was filled with resistance at the thought of cooking with someone like Tian Cuiying. It would be better for the three of them to eat together like they did at the resettlement site, or at most add Wang Dong and the other three.

Let alone forming a partnership, she didn't even dare to use a piece of firewood picked by the educated youth, for fear that she would accidentally become a thief again.

Tan Yuan groped her way along the wall and walked out of the educated youth center alone.

If she remembered correctly, Grandma Wang's house was next to the educated youth site.

Grandma Wang is an elderly widower in the brigade and is the focus of care in the Huaiyin Brigade.

Women in Shu have a high status, but the men are not bad at all. When fighting the Japanese, more than 3.5 million Shu troops went out, but only 130,000 returned home. So many people all died.

Grandma Wang’s husband and children are all gone, and none of them have come back. Fortunately, the state still provides subsidies and the brigade also gives them enough preferential treatment.

If your house is leaking, someone will help you fix it. During the holidays, someone will send you things. There is also no shortage of food.

Grandma Wang is bored at home. She is old now and doesn't work in the fields. She just goes out for a walk every day when she has nothing to do.

She also has a little orange cat named Nianxiang. When the sun comes out, she will bring a rocking chair and lie at the doorstep. The orange cat will lie on her legs or at her feet to bask in the sun.

In her previous life, Tan Yuan was ostracized by the educated youth group because of Luo Linlin. She didn't dare to resist, so she hid outside and cried at night. She was discovered by Xiao Nianxiang who was out catching mice. The meowing attracted Grandma Wang, who couldn't sleep at night.

Back then, even the travel expenses for her to return to the city were paid by Grandma Wang. Tan Yuan will never forget this kindness in her life.

Sure enough, as soon as Tan Yuan groped to the door, she heard a cat meowing.

"Nianxiang, come back soon."

It was the voices of Grandma Wang and Nian Xiang.

Tan Yuan smiled. If her eyes were not covered with gauze, one would have noticed that her eyes had become crescent-shaped at this moment.

In her previous life, after she settled down in the city, she wrote a letter to the Huaiyin Brigade, hoping to bring Grandma Wang and Nian Xiang to the city.

Unfortunately, at that time, the reply letter from the brigade said that Grandma Wang had passed away two years ago. She fell and died while picking peaches in the yard. She refused to eat and starved to death.

Hearing Grandma Wang's kind voice again and Nianxiang's familiar meow, Tan Yuan was moved. She held back her tears, squatted down, and slowly groped around.

The furry little head kept pushing against Tan Yuan's palm, circling around her, and making a comfortable "gurgling" sound in its throat.

"Hey, little comrade, you're a new educated youth, right? How did you end up like this?"

When Grandma Wang saw Tan Yuan dressed like this, she was startled and hurried over to help Tan Yuan.

"I have a chair here. Come and sit down. You can't go out like this. If you have any problems, just tell me, old lady. I'll ask the brigade to help."

She was of a higher generation, and because of her family connections, the people in the team gave her some extra face. Usually, if she wanted to do something, she just had to ask for their permission.

The hands were still both hands, and even the wrinkles on them made people nostalgic. Tan Yuan followed her movements and sat down on the rocking chair. Little Nianxiang was not shy at all, and jumped directly into Tan Yuan's arms and sat down.

Seeing that Tan Yuan did not reject it and instead reached out to stroke Xiao Nianxiang's cat fur, Grandma Wang felt relieved and she laughed.

"You get along well with this little guy. This little guy usually doesn't let anyone touch him."

Nian Xiang is indeed a very cautious cat. In her previous life, Tan Yuan had to feed it a lot of dried fish before she could get familiar with it and pet the cat as she pleased. She didn't expect that in her rebirth, she could save those dried fish.

No matter how preferential treatment the brigade provided, they could not send anyone to live with Grandma Wang. She was usually very lonely. She saw that the educated youth in the brigade were particularly enthusiastic and talked to Tan Yuan, asking her what happened and whether she was bullied by anyone.

Grandma Wang has been like this in both her previous and next lives. Tan Yuan has never experienced what it feels like to have family. The Zhao family has always taken advantage of her, using her to get subsidies, send her to the countryside on behalf of their children, and cheat her out of her house.

There are only Grandma Wang and Linlin.

Tan Yuan couldn't help wanting to get close to Grandma Wang. In this life, she would definitely rewrite her own destiny, Linlin's destiny, and Grandma Wang and Nian Xiang's destiny.

"Meow meow meow~"
