Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder

Ever since their daughter resolutely went to the countryside to replace their brother, the Qiao family knew that their daughter and sister were independent-minded. In addition, after a preliminary contact with Comrade Ji today, they found that he seemed to be a good person and a soldier, so they did not try to stop the two from contacting each other. However, they still asked Qiao Chuchu to call him back for dinner tomorrow.

The Qiao family saw that Qiao Chuchu looked tired, so they let her go back and have a good rest.

The next morning, Qiao's mother asked Qiao's brother to buy Qiao Chuchu's favorite breakfast. Originally, the Qiao family wanted to take a leave to accompany Qiao Chuchu, but it was impossible. After all, nowadays, everyone emphasizes loving their work, and even rest is only on Sunday.

The Qiao family, reluctant to leave, had to go out to work. Before leaving, they told Qiao Chuchu to have a good rest at home and go directly to the state-owned restaurant if she wanted to eat anything. They would wait for Qiao's father to come back and cook dinner.

Qiao Chuchu agreed repeatedly. She knew that her family was worried that she would be too tired, and she was very touched by her family's concern.

But she didn't rest at home, but went to the bookstore. She knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed in a few years, so she took the opportunity of returning to Beijing to buy two sets of the math, physics and chemistry series, one for herself and one for Ma Ning.

Thinking of Ma Ning, I don’t know how this girl is doing in the brigade. The situation was urgent at that time and I couldn’t tell her what I was doing. I don’t know if she was worried about me.

Qiao Chuchu was walking on the way to Xinhua Bookstore.

Ma Ning was at home in the Dahuang Brigade, complaining about Qiao Chuchu to others.

"You waited for her to come back and see if I would still pay attention to her. She disappeared from my sight without saying a word, making me worry about her for so long. If Comrade Ji hadn't asked you to tell me, I would have gone to the county to call the police to find her.

Speaking of this, Ma Ning actually didn't blame Qiao Chuchu for leaving without saying goodbye, but was worried that something had happened to her and she didn't know about it.

"Ningning, don't mention Qiao Zhiqing anymore. Brother Shaowen told me everything. The situation was urgent and there was no time to come back and tell you."

"You are not allowed to call me Ningning," she said with a red face.

"Hey, you've already agreed to be my girlfriend, and you still don't allow me to call you Ningning?"

"Oh, that's annoying. You know I'm shy."

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Looking at his new girlfriend, Li Bin felt that he was the happiest person.

"Ah, I don't know who is talking about me."

"Hello, I want to buy some math, physics, and chemistry books. Do you have any here?"

The clerk who was sorting books with his head down looked up at Qiao Chuchu when he heard this. The number of people who came to buy these books now was extremely small.

After all, the college entrance examination has been suspended, and now going to university is based on recommendation without taking an exam, so these books have been almost dealt with.

"Yes, there are, but they may not be complete. If you are not in a hurry, come with me to the warehouse to take a look."

Qiao Chuchu felt a little disappointed when she heard this. She didn't expect that even the Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing might not be able to get all these books. But when she thought about it, this set of books has a total of 17 volumes, namely four volumes of "Algebra", four volumes of "Physics", four volumes of "Chemistry", two volumes of "Plane Geometry", one volume of "Solid Geometry", one volume of "Plane Analytic Geometry", and one volume of "Trigonometry".

But it’s better to have it than not, so I’ll buy as many copies as I can.

The two of them rummaged through the warehouse and managed to collect enough sets. Qiao Chuchu also bought the remaining ones that were not enough for one set.

The total cost is 34 yuan, which is really not cheap. After all, the monthly salary of a regular worker is only about 40 yuan. Buying these books by myself will cost almost a full-time worker's monthly salary.

After paying, Qiao Chuchu walked out of the bookstore holding the book. She found an empty corner and put the book in the locker of the system mall.

Then she went to the system mall and bought some rice, flour, pork and some other things. However, Qiao Chuchu didn't buy too much. After all, if she bought too much, her family would be curious about how she took the money home, and they would ask her to keep the money for herself. So she simply bought less to avoid making her family feel bad for her.

Speaking of the things she bought in the mall this time, Qiao Chuchu bought them on credit from 009. There was nothing she could do about it since she was a poor person with only one point. When she returned to the team, she would definitely earn points and never be so idle again.

When she was almost home, Qiao Chuchu took out the things she had bought at the mall.

Along the way, hello, Aunt Li, Sister Qian is cooking, Sister Liu is off work... Living in a staff housing compound is like this, when you look up, you see everyone you know. Qiao Chuchu quickly greeted them and went into the house. There was no way, if she started chatting, she might not be able to go into the house for an hour.

She couldn't accept the enthusiasm of these aunts, sisters-in-law, aunties, and sisters from childhood to adulthood.

Although Qiao Chuchu returned home, the neighbors she met along the way would not let her go.

"Did you see that? Isn't that the girl from Old Qiao's family?"

"Yes, yes, it's the old Qiao family's."

"Didn't you say you were an educated youth in the countryside? Why doesn't it look like you've ever done farm work to me?"

"Yeah, he doesn't look like a country boy."

"Don't you know this?"

"What's going on? Tell me now, don't keep me in suspense."

"Oh, don't worry. Let me tell you, even though this girl has gone to the countryside, the three members of Old Qiao's family still send her wages and banknotes every month. This is a lot of money every month. I heard that it's almost as much as a regular worker's salary. Just imagine, a little girl in the countryside still has so much money every month. She doesn't even have to work. She can't spend it all even if she spends it all."

"But it's true. There's no family in our family compound that dotes on their daughters this much."

"Yes, yes, look at the Zhou family up ahead. Their son is obviously of the right age to go to the countryside, but they don't allow him to go. Instead, they insist on sending their youngest daughter. It's so pitiful. The daughter is only 15. I don't know how they could be so cruel."

"Who says it's not true? I heard that even the subsidy for going to the countryside was not given to my daughter."

“That’s right.”

"I don't know what that family is thinking. They're not particularly good to their daughter, but they're not like the Zhou family. They already have a son of marriageable age, but they still push their little girl out to work in the countryside. Even if she did go to the countryside, they wouldn't be so heartless as to embezzle all the subsidies and leave her life or death."

"Oh, my food!" An aunt who was cooking smelled a burnt smell and ran back home in a hurry.

After some people left, the rest of the gossip army went back home.

After returning home, Qiao Chuchu did not wait for her father to come back to cook, but started cooking by herself.

After simmering the rice, Qiao Chuchu began to prepare the ingredients. She blanched the spareribs to make braised spareribs, cut the tofu into pieces and fried it in oil to make stewed tofu, cut the shredded potatoes into pieces and blanched them to make a cold dish, and then made a tomato and egg soup.
