The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator
Chapter 87 Year 9
In the end, the dough failed to rise, so Su Yuanyuan simply rolled all the dough into noodles. They were a bit hard, but she comforted herself by thinking of them as dried noodles.
On New Year's Eve, Su Yuanyuan and her friends had dinner with the former educated youth for the first time. Even though they usually ignored each other, they were all celebrating the festival in a foreign land, so no one said anything unpleasant at this time.
They happily ate a reunion dinner together, and after the meal, they went with the team members to the brigade leader's house to listen to the radio.
After learning about the new policies and hearing the radio praising the educated youth or cadres who had worked diligently this year, the brigade leader gave them some words of encouragement before letting them go home.
Su Yuanyuan and three others stayed up late together in the house to celebrate the New Year. There were candies and melon seeds on the table, and they chatted about trivial things.
No one mentioned their family; bringing it up during the Lunar New Year would only make everyone else sad.
After a lively and festive New Year, they stayed home and didn't go out. Starting from the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, light snow began to fall, which continued intermittently for three days.
The whole world was covered in a silvery white, but this beautiful scenery could not hide the biting cold. Their breath instantly froze into frost, and the snow under their feet was frozen as hard as iron.
Su Yuanyuan felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet, reaching straight to her heart, as if her entire body was being swallowed up by the cold air.
She wrapped her cotton coat tighter around herself, tucked her hands into her sleeves, hesitated for a long time, and finally took the broom and went out.
After several days of snow, if the snow on the roof isn't cleared, their little, dilapidated house might not survive the winter.
The other three people also came out shivering. Li Hongmei said with trembling lips, "Let's hurry, we're freezing to death."
Zhang Zhiying looked around the yard but couldn't find any tools to get to the roof, so she brought over two ladders.
"Two people go up to sweep, and the other two hold the ladder. Who should go up?"
Su Yuanyuan tested the ladder and felt it was fairly sturdy. "I'll go up."
Liu Yan rubbed her hands together, picked up the broom from the ground, and said to Li Hongmei, "I'm going too, but you better hold me tight!"
Li Hongmei nodded and watched her go up. She quickly reached out to hold the ladder, but it was still swaying badly, so she simply hugged the ladder and used her whole body weight to stabilize it.
Their brooms weren't long enough to reach the snow in front of them, so Su Yuanyuan swept the eaves clean and tried stepping on them.
"Su Yuanyuan, be careful. If you can't reach it, then don't worry about it."
Zhang Zhiying watched from below, her heart pounding with fear, terrified that they might accidentally fall. Seeing them still climbing upwards, she quickly called out to warn them.
"Do not worry."
As she spoke, Su Yuanyuan had already reached the roof. She carefully used a broom to sweep the snow away and moved around to clear it little by little.
She was finally done cleaning and was covered in sweat. "Okay, I hope this is the only time I'll clean this winter."
After putting their tools away, they quickly ran inside. The sudden change in temperature made them shiver.
After that, they would never go out unless necessary. Only Su Yuanyuan knew the contents of the kitchen, and she was the one who arranged what they ate every day.
Of course, she wouldn't make it too obvious, but she would occasionally treat them to a nice meal, and the four of them were almost quite overweight.
Time always seems to fly by when you have nothing to do. Before they've even gotten noticeably fatter, spring plowing has arrived again.
After fertilizing the fields, they began plowing. Some brigades used oxen to plow, while their brigade used donkeys.
Every day, you could hear the shouts of the commune members calling to the livestock, the copper bells around their necks ringing in the air above the farmland. At this time, both the people and the donkeys were full of energy.
Su Yuanyuan was assigned to plant trees. Each of them carried several saplings on their shoulders, along with shovels and buckets. Their task was to plant all the saplings by the time spring plowing was completed.
In fact, the work is pretty much the same every year, and they have been here for two years without realizing it.
In the past two years, some educated youth have returned to their hometowns. She learned from the older educated youth that not all of them were lucky to return home.
Some, even if they went back, would be kicked out by their families, making a huge fuss but still unable to get back in, and eventually disappeared without a trace.
Those who performed well as educated youth could be recommended by the brigade leader and have the opportunity to take the entrance exam for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. These people would usually give up their work and study hard, just in order to pass the exam and leave this place.
Although the brigade leader had grievances against these people, he would not make things difficult for them, as he had always been aware of the educated youth's reluctance.
Su Yuanyuan's system can finally have normal conversations, but unfortunately this function is useless to her. She is busy all day long and has no time to chat with it.
When she has a spare moment, she thinks about the major earthquake a year from now, but she also remembers what Xie Qiao said: we must not disrupt the normal operation of the world.
When she sat under the tree to rest, she would always stare blankly at the commune members who were working. She had been agonizing over this matter for a month since she first thought about it.
She suddenly remembered it when the Party Secretary read out the publication year of the People's Daily during their evening study session.
She asked the system how to send a letter to the most powerful person directly to them.
The system assured us confidently that we could simply hand it over.
After dinner that day, Su Yuanyuan sat alone in the courtyard, listening to the noise coming from afar. After a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind.
In an instant, the pent-up frustration that had been weighing on her heart for so long vanished. She took a deep breath and felt completely relaxed.
After everyone else had gone to sleep, Su Yuanyuan sat alone at the table, picked up a pen, and wrote the first word.
When she got to the crucial part of the writing, she felt a sudden weight on her body, as if the pen in her hand weighed a ton.
Then darkness surged in like a tide, and a pair of eyes stared at her from within, as if to engulf her, making it difficult for her to even breathe.
Su Yuanyuan felt the pressure on her body, cold sweat kept pouring from her forehead, and she kept tightening her grip on the pen until her fingertips turned white.
Gradually, her breathing became heavy, and she moved the pen tip with difficulty, trembling as she drew a line.
'Stop'
At that moment, a voice echoed in her ears, like the whisper of a demon, filling her with a deep-seated fear.
Su Yuanyuan forced a smile, as if laughing at her own weakness, or perhaps at the other person's incompetence in not killing her outright.
[Detecting a threat to the host's life, activating protection mechanisms]
The moment the system's voice sounded, Su Yuanyuan felt the pressure on her body decrease dramatically. She didn't have time to do anything else, so she sped up her handwriting and finally finished writing a line of crooked words.
After finishing writing, Su Yuanyuan slumped into her chair, gasping for breath and coughing violently.
Feeling the metallic taste in her throat, she chuckled softly, picked up the note she had written with trembling hands, and mentally called upon the system.
【system】
【I am here, host.】
Is it true that you can get this note to the leader?
Yes, who does the host want to give it to?
