Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village

In this era, few people have received an education, let alone girls.

Many families felt that since their daughters would eventually get married, what was the point of all that education? It was better for them to come back to work and earn work points. This viewpoint became even more pronounced in recent years, especially as educated youth were sent to the countryside.

In such a large village, only two people met those two criteria, which made her feel somewhat disheartened.

Long Lifan had also inquired about Miao Xiaohe and Lin Weihong from the other children. Both were extroverted, but Lin Weihong had a slightly stronger temper. Neither of them was someone Lin Weibing could afford to offend, so Yang Zhiqing's predicament would naturally be resolved.

In comparison, Long Lifan definitely hoped that Lin Weihong would get the position. But she also knew that Secretary Miao's side would not easily give in.

This is not just a job; it's a skill, and in this day and age, people with skills are highly sought after. Especially in the medical field, mastering the skill is like having a secure, stable job.

Long Lifan also told Yang Qianqian about this to prevent her from letting it slip. Although it was a win-win situation, if the captain and the others knew that she had made the suggestion with some ulterior motive, it would inevitably make them suspicious, and it would be difficult to ask them for favors in the future.

Furthermore, she also requested that Yang, the educated youth, be able to genuinely teach them some skills, regardless of who ultimately received the quota. Firstly, because they were the children of cadres, building a good relationship with them would certainly be beneficial. Secondly, she knew they would be leaving in a few years, and she sincerely hoped that the commune members here would have their own doctor.

Two days later, the final selection was made. Miao Xiaohe, the village doctor's daughter, was chosen as the assistant doctor. "Assistant" was really just an apprenticeship. The team would give her 50 work points each month, but she couldn't expect any money.

As for why it wasn't Chen Weihong, Long Lifan had inquired about it. The reason was that she didn't like her, and she even threatened her father with a hunger strike.

This infuriated the brigade leader so much that he didn't eat all day. How could he not be angry? A perfectly good opportunity had been snatched away by Secretary Miao's daughter.

"Sister Long, my older brother says he needs to talk to you about something."

That day, Qi Fangfang pulled Long Lifan aside and whispered something.

"Looks like they've raised enough money!" Long Lifan thought to herself, but still feigned doubt and asked, "Really? Where is he?"

"It's on that hillside over there!" Qi Fangfang pointed to the hillside not far away, which was blocked by trees.

“Okay, I’ll go take a look!” Long Lifan nodded. The hilltop was only about 200 meters away, but it was relatively secluded due to the trees.

At that moment, the children were drawing the characters they had just learned on the ground, so no one noticed her.

After walking for a little over two minutes, Qi Shishen's figure came into her view. He was leaning casually against a big tree.

Looking up, he saw the person behind his sister and immediately changed his posture. Then he said to his sister, "Fangfang, Long Zhiqing and I have something to talk about alone. Could you keep watch for me?"

"If anyone comes, just cough a few times!"

"Alright!" Qi Fangfang glanced at Sister Long and, seeing that she didn't object, had no choice but to nod in agreement.

She couldn't understand why her older brother wanted to see Sister Long. Could it be that he liked Sister Long and wanted to confess his feelings to her? But she immediately dismissed the idea.

Putting aside their families, it seems like the two of them haven't had much contact at all!

"You've finally raised the money!" Long Lifan couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled how Qi Fangfang had suspected his older brother of doing something wrong just a few days ago.

"Ok!"

Qi Shishen nodded slightly, then took out a wad of cash from his pocket and handed it to Long Lifan, saying, "Here's 400 yuan, count it!"

Long Lifan looked at the stack of banknotes; the largest denomination was only 20 yuan, with a lot of 10 yuan and 5 yuan notes.

Long Lifan readily accepted the money and carefully counted it. Although she treated Qi Fangfang like a younger sister, she wasn't very familiar with Qi Shishen, so it was best to count the money in person.

"Money is no problem! When do you need to come and pick up the medicine?" Now that she had the money, Long Lifan was ready to buy the medicine she needed from the system.

"You've already got it?"

Qi Shishen was a little confused. Wasn't it said that only an uncle of hers in Shanghai could get this medicine? Could it be that the female educated youth in front of him was lying to him?

But looking into Long Lifan's clear eyes, Qi Shishen wondered if he was overthinking things.

“Hmm,” Long Lifan nodded slightly. “After you told me last time, I wrote a letter and asked my uncle to mail it to me. It’s currently at my residence.”

If it weren't for the fear of Qi Shishen's suspicion, Long Lifan could have bought it from the system store and given it to him right now. Cash on delivery is Long Lifan's principle of doing things.

"Tomorrow, still this place! This location!" Qi Shishen originally wanted to pick up the medicine that night, but then he thought that Long Zhiqing was a girl after all, and it would have an impact on her if someone saw her.

"You can keep this money for now! I'll bring the medicine tomorrow, and we'll exchange the money for the medicine then." Long Lifan handed over the money and spoke quite frankly.

"No need!" Qi Shishen shook his head, feeling increasingly guilty about how he could have doubted Long Zhiqing! After all, Long Zhiqing had his uncle mail the money before he even paid him. 400 yuan was no small sum, and since the other party trusted him so much, how could he make unfounded guesses about him?

"System, I remember the medicine for palpitations costs 198, right? I'll buy it! Also, get another dose of that reagent I bought last time!" Since she wasn't paying for it herself, Long Lifan didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache. With these two items, she believed that Fangfang's mother would definitely be cured, and maybe even her low blood sugar could be improved.

The only thing that bothered her was that the reagents cost 199 yuan, and the two items together cost 397 yuan, so she could only earn 3 yuan in delivery fees.

Long Lifan, a transmigrator, was only getting 3 yuan for running errands, and she was getting angrier and angrier. Little did she know that Qi Shishen was so good at making money; she should have quoted a higher price.

However, she is a person of principle, and since she has already said it, she will not change her mind.

I could only earn 3 yuan with tears in my eyes!

As if she had thought of something, Long Lifan carefully took out the reagent and poured half of it into her water bottle, then added some water.

"Alright, host!" This action was naturally seen by the unblocked system, which loudly proclaimed in its mind, "I really misjudged you. I never expected you to be this kind of person?"

"A swindler!" the system said disdainfully.

"What are you saying? What are you saying!" Although she had her own ulterior motives, she absolutely did not agree with the term "profiteer."

Think about the 3 yuan I earned with tears in my eyes, and she, as the middleman, only took such a small amount? She has such a conscience!

"You still say you're not right? Then why did you add water to the reagents I sold and pour the other half into your own water bottle!" the system said angrily.

Is a reagent with water still the same reagent? Its efficacy will definitely be greatly reduced. Isn't this a slap in the face to this system?

"Hmph, isn't this all for you, so you won't become a homeless person?" Long Lifan snorted coldly and said with a serious expression.

"What?"

At that moment, several large question marks appeared on the system's screen. It was clearly questioning its host, so how did it get dragged into this? Completely bewildered, it nearly burned out its own circuit board.
