Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

The next morning, Feng Qingqing got up early, ate something simple, and set off for the commune. She was only casually acquainted with the other people in the educated youth settlement, so only Hu Fangming asked her to bring some things with her.

She didn't have much to do at the commune today.

She first went to the post office, bought a few stamps, and looked at them. They weren't as popular as the "Red River and Mountains" stamps that would become famous later. She simply bought a few stamps and pasted one of them on the letter she was going to mail.

Then she went to the supply and marketing cooperative. The cooperative didn't have much stock, so she used up all the coupons she had, especially for food, except for a few for emergencies. She firmly believed that only what she ate was truly hers, and she also bought some peach shortbread, sponge cake, and other snacks for Hu Fangming.

She also bought some items that didn't require coupons, such as some fabric. She planned to have someone make a set of inner clothes for He Yong'an, since he couldn't wear the outer clothes now, but the weather would soon get cold, and she needed to prepare the inner clothes as well.

She bought some more cotton. Cotton is a scarce commodity. She was lucky; a batch of cotton arrived today. Feng Qingqing rushed and finally managed to grab 5 jin (2.5 catties), which was quite a lot, enough to make a thin padded jacket.

Finally, she bought some seasonings, such as soy sauce, salt, MSG, Sichuan peppercorns, and sugar. Some of these items required coupons, while others did not. Although she was the one buying them, since she was cooking with Hu Fangming, the girl would give her the coupons in cash later.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, it was already late. Feng Qingqing glanced at the sun and headed towards the only state-run restaurant in the commune center.

Because it was still some time before lunchtime, the restaurant was quite deserted at this time, with only one waiter cleaning and tidying up the tables.

Seeing that she was a woman, he didn't say anything and just went about his business. Feng Qingqing knew that at this time, these positions were considered secure, and the waiters were all very arrogant.

Before the meal started, I found a table and waited for a while.

After the meal started, Feng Qingqing ordered a bowl of noodles with vegetables and shredded pork, and also eight large meat buns, which cost her quite a few food coupons.

She prepared four of the eight meat buns for He Yong'an. Although he had some money before, he didn't often get to eat such good things as meat buns.

Nowadays, restaurant food is not only plentiful but also tastes great, making it really affordable. After finishing a bowl of noodles, Feng Qingqing left with her stomach full; she was just too stuffed, but the taste was really good.

After leaving the restaurant, Feng Qingqing went straight to the grain store. At this time, the grain store not only sold grain and seeds, but also purchased all kinds of mountain products and local specialties, including various Chinese medicinal herbs. Chinese medicinal herbs were also Feng Qingqing's main purpose for coming here today.

Because she has space to plant, she only planted some basic crops in the early stages due to various reasons, and the points and income generated were not very good. So today she is looking for space to plant something.

This grain station not only buys all kinds of wild Chinese medicinal herbs, but also sells some common Chinese medicinal herb seeds. Moreover, you don't need a coupon when you buy them. Feng Qingqing was delighted, because coupons for these things are not easy to get.

Feng Qingqing went to the Chinese medicinal herbs counter and looked at the catalog. She found that common herbs such as angelica, wolfberry, astragalus, and gastrodia were available. Although the purchase price was not very high, it was at least higher than the price of mountain products or grains.

Since it was her first time planting, Feng Qingqing wasn't sure about the harvest from planting in the space. She bought a little of each kind, not much, and if the results were good, she would see how it went.

After buying the medicinal herb seeds, Feng Qingqing went to check the prices of various purchases to understand the market situation.

After leaving the grain station, Feng Qingqing didn't intend to go to the black market, which is a must-visit for transmigrated or reborn women. She was rich now and had no shortage of various things, so she didn't want to take the risk. The black market would be a good option if she needed it later, but if she did go to the black market, she would most likely not choose the commune, but rather the county or city, where the consumer base was wider and the consumption level was higher.

After completing all her tasks for the day, Feng Qingqing headed back home. It was already quite late. The walk from the commune back to the educated youth settlement would take about an hour and a half. Thanks to the spiritual spring water, Feng Qingqing was in good health, and even walking briskly back took her about 50 minutes.

She first placed the things she had bought into her spatial storage, leaving only an empty basket outside. As she walked, she recalled her conversation with the man from the previous night, while also carefully examining the pills she could currently give him in her spatial storage. After pondering for a long time, Feng Qingqing finally chose a pill: the Weakness Pill.

The Weakness Pill isn't very expensive, costing only 30 points. Its effect is relatively simple: it makes people look weak and gives them symptoms of qi and blood deficiency. Even if you go to the hospital for a checkup, they won't be able to find any cause.

These pills are sold in pairs, including both a weakness pill and an antidote to relieve the weakness. This is very thoughtful; you can remain weak for as long as you need, and taking the antidote will not have any adverse effects on your body.

Feng Qingqing finally decided to buy this weakness pill for He Yong'an to take. It can be said that after taking this pill, his weakened state will surely bring great joy to the He family.

She found the thought of this outcome amusing.

After returning to the educated youth settlement, she took out Hu Fangming's belongings and put them aside separately. Then she took out some daily necessities that she might need in the near future and put them aside for later use, especially the kitchen seasonings, which she placed in plain sight.

It was already getting late, so she prepared a simple dinner and waited for Hu Fangming to come home from work so they could eat together.

But no one came back after waiting and waiting. Feng Qingqing was a little puzzled when she suddenly heard a familiar voice from ahead. She stopped and turned around to walk back, but heard words like "bruised and swollen face" and "terrible" coming from behind, as if something had happened.

But it was already late, and she figured she could ask the older woman she knew about it tomorrow. Feng Qingqing had no intention of going to see the commotion now. She had been out all day and just wanted to eat something and go to bed early.

After a while, Hu Fangming also returned. After hearing her account, he finally understood what had happened in Lanshan Brigade.

This matter is also related to the He family, specifically He Yong'an's family.

He Yongming, the youngest son of the He family, is in junior high school in the county. Last time, I heard that he had joined the Red Guards in the city and was doing odd jobs and looting all day long instead of studying properly at school. However, the city is far away, and the news did not reach the brigade for sure. In addition, the two brothers in the He family are very protective of their children, especially the two little twins. They can't stand to hear a single nice word from them.

The fact that the youngest son, He Yongming, has gotten into trouble is largely due to his parents spoiling him too much.

Hu Fangming didn't know the specifics, only that he had been brought back with a broken leg and his face and body were so badly beaten that he was unrecognizable. Old He's wife, upon seeing her youngest son suffer such a terrible ordeal, cried and begged at home, even summoning the brigade leader, insisting that the brigade intervene, find out the details, and seek justice for her son.

She didn't know what her son was doing, but there were still rumors circulating in the brigade. At that time, anyone who had even the slightest connection with the Red Guards or the Revolutionary Committee was terrified. How could the brigade agree to stand up for him? That's how the commotion started.

Upon hearing this news, Feng Qingqing was deeply moved. Perhaps even the heavens were on their side, for He Yongming had encountered this situation at this time. Whether it had happened in her previous life or not, she hadn't paid much attention since they weren't together then. But now she needed to meet with He Yong'an as soon as possible and get him to take the pills quickly, so that he wouldn't be excessively ordered around or enslaved by the He family couple because of this.
