Eating melons

Today, Yu Xi and his friends picked up some firewood and carried some water, so they were naturally not as restricted in using water as they were yesterday.

After reporting his safety in the county yesterday, Xiao Xuemu went to buy a thermos. Li Zhibin, Yu Xi, Jiang Qi, and Liu Jiaojiao all followed suit.

In the afternoon, while the old educated youth was away, everyone except Jiang Qi and Wei Wei had taken a shower and washed their clothes. They also filled the thermos while cooking. Jiang Qi was not there, but Wu Mei filled it for her.

Now the two of them wanted to take a shower, so they just washed directly since there was ready water. Wei Wei didn't hesitate to take the thermos from Liu Jiaojiao, poured water in it, and went to take a shower and wash her hair.

So far, this group of new educated youth are still easy to get along with.

She just forgot to buy a thermos, so her cheap brother-in-law exchanged it for an industrial coupon here. When she has time, she still has to go to the county to buy the thermos.

Although it was also sold in the system, she had no chance to take it out, so she could only secretly take two more military water bottles.

But you can't take too many of these things. It's already eye-catching enough for her to take two.

Besides, there was not much money left in the system account, so she bought a pot and a kettle.

I just hope that by the time I light the stove, her package has arrived. After all, her package is so big, it wouldn’t be too surprising if she took out a small pot and kettle from it.

Looking at the double-digit balance, Wei Wei was anxious to make money, but there was no way. It was not easy to do it now, so she could only wait until the house was built.

When the autumn harvest comes and she stores up winter vegetables, it won’t be a problem for her to buy more, and then secretly sell them to the system.

She must make a lot of money during the period of stockpiling winter vegetables, otherwise the winter here will last almost half a year, and she will have nothing to spend or buy food with.

And once this opportunity is gone, you can only wait until next spring when the vegetables are planted and ripe before you can sell them.

Oh! You can still sell wild vegetables in the spring. They are quite expensive. Anyway, anything with the word "wild" in it is expensive, so you can buy more.

I was very tired yesterday and the day before yesterday, so I slept well at night, but Wei Wei couldn't sleep tonight.

I didn't do anything today and I'm not tired. I couldn't fall asleep at all because of the snoring and grinding of teeth in the educated youth institute. Did she fall asleep in this environment last night?

She admired herself, but there were two people next to her, and it was not like sleeping alone in a guesthouse, so she could plug her ears with earplugs.

What's more, the person next to her is a potential fellow villager! She didn't dare to take the risk, and the two people on her left and right were making pancakes and couldn't sleep!

Listening to the snoring and grinding of teeth, Wei Wei became more and more energetic. She simply stopped counting sheep and started looking at it on the system.

I hope I can fall asleep while looking at things, but there is a saying that goes, never shop late at night, otherwise you will easily make impulse purchases.

Now Wei Wei understood the meaning of this sentence. Everything seemed cheap at night, including sanitary napkins, which were only 9.98 yuan each. It was cheap, so she bought it. After all, she couldn't live without sanitary napkins.

I bought two packs and had her period once when I was in the city. It was not easy to use sanitary napkins at that time, so I used red paper and sanitary belts, which almost killed her. Those five days were pure torture.

If you can't use sanitary napkins, there's no place to change them or dispose of them. Although the toilets there are flush, they are arranged in rows, with squat toilets one after another, and no doors.

I have no privacy and I don't dare to use sanitary napkins. It's still early, but it's cheap now, so I have to buy it.

Retro knife paper from the 1970s, 9.90 kilograms, I bought it without thinking, it’s something I use every day.

Phoenix shampoo powder from the 1960s and 1970s is on sale at a special price of 9.9 yuan for two bags. Buy it. Washing your hair with soap risks baldness, so this is a must-buy.

Clearance sale, five pounds of brown sugar for 20.99 yuan. This is a hot-selling item, buy it.

Antique work gloves from the 1960s and 1970s, 9.90 yuan a pair. I have to work tomorrow, so I have to buy these.

Just like that, I shopped and shopped until I was satisfied and fell asleep.

The next day, Wei Wei heard the sounds of people getting up one after another at the educated youth institute. Thinking that she had to go to work today, she quickly got up as well.

I was feeling groggy and hadn't woken up yet. I glanced at the system interface while brushing my teeth and was stunned when I saw the balance was 9.98.

What on earth did she do last night? She was short of money, but she bought so many things that were still in stock.

There are still three pounds of brown sugar in the system backpack! I bought another five pounds last night. One pack of sanitary napkins is enough. It's not like I can't buy more. Besides, my period hasn't come yet. I can buy more when I have money. Why buy so much now?

The same goes for paper knives. I bought five kilograms before, used some, took some out, and still had three kilograms in my backpack, so I bought another ten kilograms.

She was convinced and regretted it so much, but she couldn't return the product. She would never shop late at night again as she was prone to impulse buying.

Especially for products that can be delivered to your home overnight and cannot be returned, you must think carefully before placing an order, otherwise there will be no regrets after placing the order.

Wu Mei was a little surprised to see Wei Wei looking listless. As for Jiang Qi and Liu Jiaojiao, it was normal for them to look listless. After all, they were like that yesterday morning as well.

Wu Mei: "You didn't sleep well last night, did you?"

Wei Wei: "Yeah, I'm so sleepy after listening to the snoring and teeth grinding all night!"

I'm so annoyed and heartbroken.

Wu Mei: "Let's wash up quickly! We can't let Auntie wait for us."

Hearing this, Wei Wei also quickened her pace and quickly finished washing up, as did Liu Jiaojiao and Jiang Qi.

After eating at Zhang's house, I will definitely go straight to work and will not come back, so I must bring everything I need.

Water bottle, lunch box, it will definitely be a sunny day today, so she has to wear long sleeves, and the straw hat she bought the day before yesterday, and the gloves she bought yesterday. She has never done any work, so she has to be fully armed.

Seeing Wei Wei taking the kettle, Liu Jiaojiao understood that she had to bring water, but she had used her water to wash Wei Wei's hair and take a bath last night, so she went directly to the boys' dormitory and got Yu Xi's thermos.

Liu Jiaojiao: "There's hot water here, everyone please fill up!"

Seeing her like this, Wei Wei gave her a look of admiration. She originally wanted to give her a thumbs up, but she was afraid that Jiang Qi would notice something.

This sister is really awesome. After two days of getting used to each other, they are not so polite anymore and just start pretending.

Wei Wei, Liu Jiaojiao, and Jiang Qi all used military water bottles, while Wu Mei used a ceramic jar. Wei Wei knew that one, she had several and two new ones.

It was a reward given to Wei Lai and Wei Bao when they registered. I don’t know whether Wu Mei got the reward by registering for going to the countryside or bought it herself.

Just fill your water, grab your lunch box and gloves and you can go out.

Jiang Qi reacted immediately when he saw the gloves in Wei Wei's hands. After all, he didn't read so many novels in vain. He would have to go to the ground soon, and the gloves could protect his hands.

Jiang Qi: "Weiwei, do you still have these gloves? Can you sell me a pair?"

She actually has this. She bought ten pairs last night. They are very cheap.

Wei Wei: "Yes, I'll get it for you."

Jiang Qi: "How much is this pair?"

This question really surprised her, and she didn't know how much a pair cost. She bought them for one dollar, but this one dollar was the price in the 21st century, not today. She really didn't know how much a pair cost now.

But Wu Mei knew all this. "They're usually fifty cents a pair. Weiwei, do you have any left? I want to buy a pair too."

Wei Wei: "Yes, my sister got me several pairs! I can't use them all anyway. If you need more, I can ask my sister to send them to me. I'll get them for you right away."

Although Liu Jiaojiao didn't know what these were for, she had to have one since they all had them. "Weiwei, give me a pair too."

Wei Wei: "Okay."

In this way, Wei Wei got one dollar and fifty cents in the morning, and earned back the money she had paid for hiring the team leader's wife to cook for the past few days.

There are still six pairs in the space! I don’t know if the male educated youth will wear them, but forget it, the male educated youth would probably be laughed at if they wore gloves to work!

When they finished packing, Yu Xi and the others were already waiting outside.

Wang Ying was a little puzzled when she saw several people going out together, carrying water bottles, lunch boxes and wearing straw hats.

Wang Ying: "Wei Zhiqing, you haven't eaten yet this early in the morning. What are you doing?"

Wei Wei: "Aren't we going to build a house during this period? We asked the team leader to help look after it. We thought it would be troublesome anyway, so we might as well ask the team leader's aunt to cook for us. We will share the meals with the team leader's family for the next ten days, and then we can cook on our own when the house is built. It's convenient to ask the team leader about the house. After all, we have never dealt with these things before, and we don't understand them."

Hearing that they were going to share a house with the captain's family, Wang Ying paused, "Is that so?"

Wei Wei didn't want to talk to her anymore, "Aunt Liu is still waiting! We'll leave first!"

After saying that, he took his lunch box and water bottle and quickly walked towards the captain's house.

When we arrived at the captain's house, the meal was just ready.

Liu Aiying: "Now that you're here, there's room for you all at one table, so I've set up a separate table for you. Go ahead and eat!"

When they looked to the side, they saw that there were indeed two tables set up, and the dishes at their table were obviously better.

"Thank you, auntie."

"Thank you, auntie."

"Thank you, aunt."

Liu Aiying: "Hey! What's there to thank me for? Eat quickly! I still have to go to work today!"

No one said anything else, just ate quickly. It was obvious that the dish was from the Zhang family's private plot, and it came with soybean paste.

Liu Aiying's control over food intake is simply amazing. After the meal is finished, everyone is about 80% full.

After finishing his meal quickly, he washed the lunch box and left it at Zhang's house. Next time he wanted to get his meal, he could just use the lunch box, and Zhang's family wouldn't have to wash so many bowls.

Zhang Xinwang knew that these people were not short of money and were definitely not good at working. Since they were not busy at the moment, he arranged for them to go and pull weeds.

Seeing the weeding job, Wei Wei was very glad that she had made an impulse purchase last night, otherwise her hands would have suffered.

When Jiang Qi and Wu Mei heard this, they also felt lucky. Wu Mei often worked at home, but that was only housework. She had never done farm work.

When she arrived at the field, Liu Jiaojiao, who was pulling out weeds with gloves on, was very glad that she had followed the trend in the morning.

She just tried it with her hand and almost cut it. She was so scared that she quickly put on gloves.
