Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

After parting with Wu Cuilan and her son, Song Shuangshuang was not in a hurry to go home. She was a little fragile now. What if she ran into Old Lady Zhang? It would be better to take this time to go around and learn about what the 1970s was like, so as not to be exposed later.

She knew that buying things now not only required money, but also various tickets, so she didn't think about preparing the supplies for going to the countryside by herself, because she had money but couldn't spend it. She would go back and see what Song's father and mother said. They could prepare some for her, but it wouldn't be too much. She would buy the rest with her own money, and of course she would ask them for help with various tickets.

When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw that there were people lining up in front of almost every counter. She originally wanted to ask the salesperson how much the common items cost if there were not many people, but she gave up. Didn’t you see that the salespersons were all arrogant? There was also a sign on the wall of the supply and marketing cooperative saying "No beating or scolding of customers"

She still walked around to listen to what others bought and how much they spent, and then went back to do the math herself.

As for the original owner's memory of prices, she also had some, but not much. She couldn't remember the more distant memories in the past two days. In order to avoid being discovered by others later, she had to rely on herself.

She also thought about the several places for going to the countryside that Wu Cuilan had told her about. She was still struggling with whether she should go to the same place as her current brother.

When she goes to a place, she has to control her temper and pretend to be the original owner for a while, and then slowly change herself, which is quite tiring. If she is separated from her brother, it doesn't seem right. I guess Song's father and mother will find someone to see if they can get the two siblings to go together so that they can take care of each other.

After strolling around for the whole morning, Song Shuangshuang got a general idea of ​​the prices in the 1970s, but the problem was... she was hungry.

In the morning, she said that she should not worry about lunch and she could take care of it herself. She completely forgot that it was the 1970s and if she only had money but no tickets, she would be scolded and kicked out if she went into a state-owned restaurant. Where could she go to take care of it?

Song Shuangshuang cursed inwardly, but finally decided to go home.

He was so afraid of running into Old Lady Zhang along the way that he looked around like a thief. Finally he arrived at the door of her house and stopped... There was a big lock hanging on the door.

It was she who suggested it, and she...didn't bring her keys!

Song Shuangshuang even wanted to applaud herself!

Seeing no one around, she planned to climb over the wall. She tried to jump several times but failed to reach the wall, but her wound was throbbing. Song Shuangshuang covered her head and thought, don't let her wound break.

Seeing a stone nearby, Song Shuangshuang moved it over to use as a stepping stone, but it was useless. Song Shuangshuang was about to give up and thought about calling her brother to open the door. A head appeared in the yard and scared her.

"Sister, why don't you come in? What are you dancing at the door?" He was heating up food in the house when he heard a rhythmic sound outside the yard. He thought his grandmother came again, but after listening for a while and not hearing her yelling, he came out to see. Unexpectedly, it was his sister.

Song Shuangshuang couldn't help rolling her eyes and said, "The door is locked, how can I get in?" She was not stupid enough to climb over the wall instead of going through the door.

"You didn't bring your keys?"

"Why would I climb over the wall if I had the key? Besides, if the lock is opened from the outside, what if grandma comes again?" Song Shuangshuang wondered if her younger brother had hit his head. He used to be a smart kid.

Song Youlin didn't think about this for a moment, but after hearing what Song Shuangshuang said, he finally realized it and said, "Then sister, wait for me for a while. I'll go find a rope."

Song Youlin jumped off the chair and came back soon after. He asked Song Shuangshuang to get out of the way and threw the rope out of the yard.

Song Shuangshuang looked at the rope and was a little confused. What? She tied herself up with the rope, threw the other end in and let her brother pull her in?

"Sister, please stand on the stone to catch it. I'm afraid the stool will be broken if I throw it down." Song Youlin poked his head out from the courtyard wall again, holding a stool in his hand.

"Don't just stand there, sister. Tie up the stool with a rope and throw the other end to me. Then step on the stool and come in and I'll catch you."

So she obediently took the stool, tied the rope to it, and climbed the wall on the stool. Before climbing the wall, she did not forget to move the stepping stone back. If it was someone's pickle, it would be embarrassing to find it at her doorstep.

With the help of Song Youlin, Song Shuangshuang finally climbed into the yard. As she was brushing the dirt off her body, she saw her brother pulling the stool in with a rope.

Song Shuangshuang: "..." So she had hurt her brain.

After untying the rope and tidying it up, Song Youlin asked Song Shuangshuang, "Sister, why are you back? Didn't you say you would be back later? Have you eaten?"

"I didn't eat and I don't have a ticket." Song Shuangshuang said a little embarrassedly.

Song Youlin looked like he knew what was going on and said, "Come in and eat. I've saved some food for you."

The brother and sister ate the leftover steamed bread from the morning and the cabbage that Song Youlin had fried at noon, and chatted. "Did our grandma and the others come this morning?"

"Sister, you're lucky you're smart. You asked our parents to lock the door from the outside. They came this morning and saw that our front door was locked. They knocked on the door and scolded us for a long time."

"Then why did you dare to climb the wall just now? Aren't you afraid of being seen?" Song Shuangshuang thought to herself that as expected, Mrs. Zhang knew the reporting time. She had calculated her parents' working hours and wanted to force her to give up her job at the textile factory.

"Our grandma always scolds us every time she comes. Besides, she is using a crutch so there is no way she can climb the wall. That's why I went out to check." Song Youlin took another bite of the steamed bread and continued, "Sister, why do I feel that your personality has changed a lot recently? You are more cheerful than before." His sister used to listen to her family on everything and seldom expressed her own ideas, but yesterday she decided to sell her job on her own.

Hearing this, Song Shuangshuang's heart tightened. Has she been discovered? She smiled awkwardly, "No?"

Song Youlin nodded, "Yes. But it's good for you to be like this." He used to think that his sister was stupid. She didn't react when she was bullied by her uncle's family, and she didn't care much when her things were stolen.

Song Shuangshuang was also full at this time, and felt a little conflicted when looking at her younger brother.

I don’t know if it’s because of the remaining emotions of the original owner, but she wants to get closer to this brother, but she is afraid that if she gets too close, people will notice something is wrong.

Song Shuangshuang brainstormed for a long time before explaining, "Before, I thought my parents had a hard time too, so I didn't want to make a fuss about it and cause more trouble for the family. But this time I was beaten and sent to the hospital, and I figured it out. I can't always be bullied. My grandma signed me up to go to the countryside for my job, so how could I fulfill her wish?" After she said that, she felt uneasy for a while, and she didn't care whether her brother believed it or not, she just explained it this way.

"You're still climbing the wall. You've never done that before."

Song Shuangshuang choked. She wanted to skip this topic. "Go back to your room and lie down after dinner. I'll wash the dishes."

Song Youlin went into the house obediently and believed Song Shuangshuang's explanation. No matter how her personality changed, she was still his sister, and this was fine.

I thought Mrs. Zhang would come again the next morning, but unexpectedly she came before the end of the workday in the afternoon.

When she arrived and saw that the door was still padlocked, she knew something was wrong. It was locked when she came in the morning. She thought no one was at home, so she went to inquire. She found out that Song Shuangshuang and Song Youlin, brother and sister, were indeed admitted to the hospital, but were discharged yesterday.

After being discharged from the hospital, where else could she go if she didn't stay at home? It wasn't time to go to the countryside yet, and Song Sanqiu and his wife had gone to work this morning. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so she came before Song Sanqiu and his wife got off work.

"You two brats! Open the door!" Old Lady Zhang cursed and banged on the door with her walking stick. "You are so bold that you dare to lock the door and lie to me that no one is home! Open the door!"

The brother and sister were preparing to cook in the small kitchen. When they heard the knock on the door, they looked at each other and said, "She is quite smart. She knew there was someone at home, so we locked the door to trick her." Song Shuangshuang complained subconsciously.

"I'll go out and see."

Song Shuangshuang stopped him and said, "Don't worry about her. She can scold me all she wants. Anyway, the door is locked and she can't get in."

"What if she gets angry and smashes the lock?" Song Youlin was a little worried about the lock. After all, one needs an industrial ticket to buy a lock, and industrial tickets are not easy to get.

"If it breaks, pay for it." Song Shuangshuang went back to the main room and sat down. She didn't need to cook dinner. She probably wouldn't be able to eat tonight. She muttered, "At such an old age, he has to rely on a cane to walk. Aren't you afraid that he will get too excited and fall down?"

After he finished muttering, he heard the gate of the courtyard slam, followed by a sound of "ouch", and the shouting and cursing stopped.

Song Shuangshuang: "No way? She didn't have the golden finger when she traveled through time, but this crappy skill is still there?"

Song Youlin: "Why don't you curse? Did you fall?"
