Dinner in the canteen was two multigrain steamed buns and a spoonful of cabbage and pork soup per person. After the meal, Lin Qian took a hot water kettle and two military kettles to the kitchen to fetch water.

"Little sister, are you a new educated youth?" the aunt who was boiling water asked her after filling the kettle with boiling water with a big iron spoon.

"Yes." Lin Qian smiled at her.

The aunt asked again: "Which brigade are you going to in Beijiang County?"

"Heilingtun in Beijiang County." Lin Qian plugged the cork of the hot water kettle and opened the kettle.

The hand of the water-boiling aunt was very steady, and she poured the hot water into the small mouth without spilling at all. "That's a good feeling. The hunters over there are great. Their team has no shortage of meat in winter!"

Lin Qian smiled and didn't answer. I thought that if we had meat to eat, we might have to pay for work points. We were new here, so it would be nice if we could borrow some food from the brigade.

In the evening, Lin Qian and Gao Xiao'an took a basin and mixed some water, wiped their bodies and went to sleep.

But Liu Haitao hasn't slept yet. He rode his bicycle to a bungalow in the suburbs after get off work and has not returned to his dormitory yet.

"Brother, why did you call me here to explain something?" Thin Monkey thought over the recent events in his mind, and it was not yet time to settle accounts at the end of the month. "Has the wind from above tightened up again?"

"No, you go to Grandma Zhao's house tonight." After explaining Lin Qian's affairs to Shouhou, Liu Haitao asked: "How is Biaozi studying in the transportation team?"

"Brother, don't you trust him yet? You found a good master for that boy. He invited his master to his home for dinner last month. His master immediately treated him differently from other apprentices when he found out that Biaozi was an orphan. He was teaching me step by step as if he were his own son!"

"Let Biaozi study hard. How big we can do this in the future and how far we go will all depend on where his car can go. And tell him that he must have a conscience. His master has no children, and he will be given to him in the future. Master provides for the elderly.”

Just talk about these things? Thin Monkey scratched his head, "Brother, are you going to explain these things today? Why don't you just ask someone to pass the message to me?"

Liu Haitao touched his chin, "In the future, more and more educated youths will come to Harbin. I found that some educated youths are quite knowledgeable, and these educated youths' families are not poor. Are you thinking about expanding our path?"

"Brother, there are so many talkative people. What should I do if they go out? I think it's better to do the same thing as before. Go to the family home to find a downline. They are all locals. They are pulling the carrots with mud. If something happens, none of them will think about it. .”

Liu Haitao glared at the thin monkey and sneered: "I spent a lot of money to send the rats to the picket team for a living? Now I can get the information of the educated youths at the Educated Youth Office, where can they go? Educated youths from outside. What kind of trouble can be uncovered? If someone really reports it, it will just mean that there are a few more mutes in this place."

Shouhou was silent. After following his brother Haitao for so many years, anything his brother wanted to do was impossible.

The next morning, Lin Qian went to the toilet after breakfast, then quickly slipped into the space, took out a fruit knife and put it in her pocket, so that she could defend herself if something happened.

First I went to the department store and bought chicken cakes and brown sugar and put them in the big bag I was carrying. Then I looked at the cabinet with the wine. The price of Moutai on the floor was written as six yuan. It's 100% authentic in this era, and it's so cheap.

After going out and getting on the bus, Lin Qian arrived at the family home of the cannery half an hour later.

"Little girl, who are you looking for?" The man in the guard room put away the newspaper and asked Lin Qian.

"I am Zhao Xiaolan's great-niece. I brought something to see my grandma today."

"Oh, Zhao Xiaolan, do you know where your grandma lives?"

"I know, my family said grandma lives on the third floor of Building 2."

"Haha, your accent is exactly the same as when Zhao Xiaolan was young. Are you from the south?"

"Yes, I heard that after coming here for half a year, southerners start to speak like Northeastern people."

"That's right, you go in and turn left at the second building."

It went more smoothly than Linqian imagined. As soon as she got to the third floor, she saw an old woman sitting at the door picking vegetables. The two looked at each other and knew they had found the right person.

After putting out chicken cakes and brown sugar on the table, Grandma Zhao took out what Lin Qian wanted from the back room.

Open the cloth bag containing the red sausage. The red sausage is sealed and preserved. Its appearance is red and shiny, and it tastes delicious at first sight.

There were also two bottles of Maotai liquor. Lin Qian took out fifty yuan from her bag and handed them over. Then she watched the other person count the money before putting the items into her backpack and putting them away.

Grandma Zhao collected the money and went back to the back room to take out a bag and asked: "Little sister, I heard that you want to exchange for national food stamps?"

"Yes!" Lin Qian also took out the bag containing the coupons. "These are all exchanged for Harbin tickets."

"The current market price is 1 market catty to 1 market catty and taels, is it right?"

"middle!"

After the two of them finished counting, they started counting on a newspaper.

An hour later, everything was finally settled, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Qian couldn't help but admired: "Grandma Zhao, you are so fast at counting."

Grandma Zhao laughed: "That's right, I used to be the treasurer of the factory."

On her way back, she passed by a department store and Lin Qian went in and bought a few kilograms of pastries unique to Harbin.

Last night, Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan were eating multi-grain steamed buns, which were too thick and got stuck in their throats.

This morning, the two of them excused themselves as having no appetite, so each of them only took one steamed bun to eat.

Maomao was so young that he couldn't even eat. He didn't cry or fuss, but it made Lin Qian feel bad to see him struggling to eat the soft multi-grain steamed buns.

At present, I can only make milk powder for him, and exchange some beef jerky and Chi Yuyuan from next door for a few rice cakes to make rice cake soup for him.

After coming back, Lin Qian took out her things and honestly explained the ins and outs to Gao Xiao'an. She couldn't explain it unless she explained it clearly.

Because in addition to the few things she exchanged, Lin Qian also brought out some useful supplies from the space. She went to the black market just to find an excuse and a cover.

After all, there may be some things that can be exchanged in Harbin City. When they arrive in Beijiang County, they may have been out of stock for a long time.

Gao Xiaoan stood up angrily and said with a little fear: "Why are you so bold, kid? Do you believe what others say? What do you want me to do if something happens?"

"I left a letter in my bag." Lin Qian lowered her head and explained in a low voice, "And I asked the aunt who boiled the water. Liu Haitao is a regular worker. He will not joke about his future."

"You kid," Gao Xiao'an nodded her head and said helplessly, "No matter where you go from now on, you must tell me the truth!"

Lin Qian nodded obediently and will definitely do it next time.

After buying the things, Gao Xiaoan saw the two bottles of Maotai and asked with emotion: "Did you buy them for your grandpa?"

“Grandpa’s knees always hurt in winter. He said drinking white wine can ward off the cold.”

Harbin City, Heilingtun Brigade under Beijiang County

After the autumn harvest, in previous years the men in the villages were more relaxed and stayed at home without going out.

The first reason is to take a good rest at home and raise back the meat that fell during the autumn harvest.

The second thing is to prepare for going into the mountains in winter. Take out the hunting dogs passed down from the older generation for maintenance. Train the hunting dogs more, and take the children at home to make a few more nooses. Maybe there will be What stupid rabbit has fallen into the trap.

But after this autumn harvest, after the public grain was handed over and distributed, the brigade leader beat the gong and called the eight production team captains to the brigade office for a meeting.
