Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Chapter 15 The Uninhibited Life of the 60 Educated Youths 14

Therefore, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu simply lined up at the end of the queue. After the team members in front of them happily took their own food home, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu slowly made their way to the front.

The brigade accountant glanced briefly at the two people, then flipped to the back of the ledger.

"Ji Han, you've worked 210 days and earned 840 work points. Shi Shaoyu, you've also worked 210 days and earned 840 work points. You two check if this is correct. If it is, sign it here."

That's absolutely right, no problem. They really didn't work a single extra point. After signing the papers, they naturally received their grain. Neither of them were the type to endure hardship. Everyone else received more coarse grains than fine grains, but the two of them received more fine grains than coarse grains. If the brigade hadn't prevented everyone from receiving fine grains, they wouldn't have wanted a single grain of coarse grain.

Of course, the grain they received would not last until next year's distribution, so they spent as much money as possible to buy more corn, wheat flour, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and even soybeans and mung beans from the brigade headquarters.

After the grain was distributed, there wasn't much work to do in the fields except for some winter vegetables. The team members took machetes and axes and went into the mountains to gather firewood. After all, the winters in Northeast China were no joke; one wrong move and you could freeze to death. This was also why, even though there were empty rooms at the educated youth settlement, no one came out to live alone.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu followed behind the group with tools in hand, but it was definitely not their place to chop firewood. They were just going up the mountain to join in the fun. They didn't even know how to pick mushrooms, since they didn't know many kinds of mushrooms. It wouldn't be worth picking a red umbrella or a white stem if they weren't careful. It really wasn't worth it.

Therefore, they were the only two in the entire group that started their descent before their baskets were full.

However, the two of them were also the first in the entire Zhangzhuang brigade to prepare all the winter supplies. After all, after the grain was distributed, the two of them spread the word that they would exchange firewood and various winter supplies in the brigade. If the members had extra supplies at home, they could come to the educated youth point to exchange with them. First come, first served, and they would stop when they had enough.

The price offered by Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu wasn't particularly high, but it was definitely much more profitable than the team members selling the produce at the commune themselves. Therefore, the first thing these team members did after chopping firewood and gathering mountain delicacies was not to go home, but to deliver these things directly to the educated youth settlement to exchange for money with Ji Han and the others.

Of course, firewood alone was not enough. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu also bought a truckload of coal from the system store. The same man who delivered the coal to the brigade before delivered the tractor. He not only delivered the coal, but also helped Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu build a special shed for storing the coal.

Ji Han and his companion's coal lumps once again sparked a heated discussion throughout the Zhangzhuang Brigade. In fact, Zhangzhuang Brigade did have coal lumps available in winter, but the supply was limited, and the brigade brought back coal lumps with more coal dust than lumps every year, making it impossible to burn directly. They had to manually mix in fine soil to make coal cakes.

When Zhang Dahe delivered the last jar of pickled vegetables to the educated youth settlement, Ji Han and his group's hibernation officially began. Outside, the howling wind whipped up large snowflakes, and overnight, the door was completely blocked by the accumulated snow.

If we're talking about eating well and sleeping warmly this winter, the only thing Ji Han can't stand is going to the toilet. It's just so cold! Every day when he goes to the toilet, he just thinks about freezing his manhood off. But if he put a chamber pot in the house, he and Shi Shaoyu would find it too disgusting.

In the end, it was the honest Du Guowei who bore it all. Every night before going to bed, he would put a chamber pot outside his door, and the first thing he would do when he got up the next morning was to clean out the chamber pot that had frozen solid.

That day, Ji Han was reflecting on himself, wondering why he hadn't prepared a radio in advance, so that he would have something to pass the time during this long winter hibernation, when suddenly there was a loud knocking on the front door.

The person who opened the door was once again Sun Guofu, the senior member of the educated youth settlement, but the person outside was looking for Shi Shaoyu.

"Sun Zhiqing, please help me find Shi Zhiqing, my Gangzi is dying!"

Although Sun Guofu didn't understand the connection between Gangzi's inability to perform and Shi Shaoyu, seeing the other party's anxious expression, he still led his men quickly to the door of Ji Han's house.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Shi Zhiqing, Shi Zhiqing, some members from the brigade are coming to you for help, open the door quickly!"

After hibernating for the winter, the educated youth at the settlement rarely went out, partly because it was too cold outside, and partly because they had nowhere else to go. Therefore, the doors were quickly opened.

"Sun Zhiqing, please explain yourself clearly what happened."

The door opened, and Sun Guofu quickly led the unshaven teammate behind him into the room. Before any introductions could be made, the man stared intently at Shi Shaoyu and asked…

“Shi Zhiqing, do you have any fever reducers? My son Gangzi has had a fever all night and his temperature won’t come down. The barefoot doctor in the team is not very skilled and he doesn’t have any medicine. He said we should take the child to the commune hospital.”

"But the roads are blocked by heavy snow right now, and even adults can't go to the commune, let alone Gangzi, who is a sick child!"

"I thought that you and Ji Zhiqing were the only ones in the whole brigade with good conditions, so maybe you could get that fever reducer the doctor mentioned, so, so..."

It was a human life, after all. The main thing was that among the spare medicines Ji Han had prepared before hibernating, there were actually some fever reducers. He opened the cabinet next to him, took out a very exquisite bamboo woven box, and took out a white paper package from it.

The paper packet contained white pills; there weren't many, and Ji Han only gave the man three.

"These are anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing pills. Give Gangzi one pill for the first dose. If the fever goes down after half a day, give him half a pill. If not, give him another pill. If the fever still doesn't go down after three pills, we don't have any other effective medicine here."

The man responded, carefully put the pills away, and turned to run home. It's unclear how he managed to run with such thick snow outside.

After the man's actions, everyone lost interest in staying indoors. They quickly got dressed and began clearing the snow from the roof, yard, and outside the door, hoping to clear the road so that it would be easier for someone to come and go from the educated youth settlement later.

After Ji Han gave out the medicine, he didn't pay any more attention to the follow-up. Who knew that early on the third day, the uncle would come over in person with his wife and children.
