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

After the grain was distributed, there was nothing to do except wait for the pig slaughter before the New Year. The villagers still went up the mountain to collect firewood, pick mountain products, and store winter vegetables.

Because they don't have to get up early or do physical work, many villagers have switched to eating two meals a day. Song Shuangshuang even discussed with Song Youlin whether they should also switch to two meals a day.

"Come on, sister. Even if you eat two meals like the villagers, you will probably have to eat another meal before going to bed at night. You'd better eat three meals a day. Don't get fat and blame me for not advising you in the first place."

Song Shuangshuang glared at Song Youlin. What nonsense was this unfortunate kid talking about?

"It's obvious that you understand me!"

It’s okay to just have two meals.

Since there was nothing to do, they couldn't go up the mountain to collect firewood every day. Song Shuangshuang wondered whether to ask He Feiyang to do something to make some money.

As for Tan Anjing, they didn't plan to invite her along. She was a young girl who didn't know much about the world and wasn't as brave as the others. If something happened, she probably wouldn't be able to escape. If she was tricked, it would be troublesome.

That night Song Youlin called He Feiyang and asked him if he had any plans.

As soon as He Feiyang heard it, he knew that Song Shuangshuang was planning to go to the county town to do some business.

"I think we should not go to the black market. Although there were many people in the black market before the New Year, the risk is also high. Now that grain has been distributed to almost all villages, many people are going to the black market to buy and sell grain. Not long after the grain was distributed last year, someone from the neighboring village went to the black market and was arrested. The village chief even held a meeting to tell us not to go to the black market."

Song Youlin thought so too. There were many people before the New Year, and it was also the time when relevant departments were rushing to achieve results. They had just arrived and had no background, so it would be bad if they were caught.

"Then let's knock on doors one by one. If we find something suitable, we'll sell it. If there's potential, we'll develop the relationship. We can make more money."

"Okay. When do you go?"

Song Shuangshuang wanted to go there a few more times before the snow started. "The problem is that if we take the bus to the city too often, anyone with an eye will know what's going on. Not to mention whether the villagers will report it, even the one in the Youth League would want to stick his eyes on our door."

"What should we do then? Do we have to walk?" Song Shuangshuang felt tired just thinking about it.

"There's no other way. We can't always ride the donkey cart, right?" He Feiyang spread his hands, indicating that he had no other choice.

Song Shuangshuang had no choice but to do this.

"I'll save up some money and buy a bicycle. It will be more convenient for me to go out, but bicycle tickets are hard to get. Do you know what the price of bicycle tickets is?"

Song Shuangshuang really didn't understand this.

"The price of a bicycle ticket is almost the same as the bicycle, so you have to work hard." If he had been at home, he might have been able to get it, but it certainly wasn't possible now.

Thinking of the price of bicycles she saw at the supply and marketing cooperative before... Song Shuangshuang shook her head.

She should just walk, money is more important. She also wants to buy a house like other female protagonists who travel through time. At worst, she can buy more gold when it is released.

This thing is hard currency.

Song Youlin had a different idea. "Sister, why don't we go to the scrap collection station and have a look? Maybe we can find some old bicycle parts and try to assemble them ourselves."

Song Shuangshuang's eyes lit up. Yes, there is also a scrap collection station!

But she learned her lesson this time and didn't hold out too much hope, no matter if she could get it or not. If she did, that would be the best, but if she didn't, that was fine, she could always look for something else.

The three of them discussed what time to leave the next day and what excuse to use if anyone asked.

"What should we do with Tan Zhiqing? We should tell her." Before leaving, He Feiyang thought of Tan Anjing who lived next door.

"...I haven't figured out how to tell her yet." Song Shuangshuang was also distressed.

It was one thing not to let her know what they were doing, but they had to tell her when they went out. They had been going out together recently and eating together almost all the time. If they suddenly went out without telling her, Tan Anjing would probably be worried.

"Why don't we ask her if she wants to go to the county town to buy New Year's goods together?"

"She will definitely go, so you two will have to go and sell the goods. I have to accompany her, which will take up too much time. And we can't go back together." Most importantly, she wanted to make more money. One less person would make a lot less.

The three of them thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good idea. In the end, it was Song Youlin who said, why not just tell her. It's not a good idea to keep hiding it like this, she will know sooner or later.

After spending so much time together, everyone can tell what kind of person she is. If someone asks her something, she knows how to answer. She won't tell others about their affairs and make people think too much.

"Then I'll go call her."

Song Shuangshuang also felt that this was the only way. He originally wanted to protect her, but now it seemed that it was no longer possible.

Not long after, Tan Anjing followed Song Shuangshuang over. When she entered the room, she saw He Feiyang was there too, and guessed that he had something to say.

Song Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to start. This made Tan Anjing even more confused. "Shuangshuang, are you having any troubles? Tell me and we can work together to find a solution."

"We didn't encounter any difficulties. It's just that the three of us plan to go to the county town more often during this period of time. I was thinking of asking if you would like to come with us?"

"Shuangshuang, you are so unkind. You told me about such a good thing as going to the county town at the last minute." Tan Anjing didn't listen carefully and thought they were just going to the county town to buy things.

Seeing that Tan Anjing had misunderstood, Song Shuangshuang said that she planned to go there a few more times before it snowed, and maybe even after it snowed.

These words confused Tan Anjing. She didn't understand what Song Shuangshuang meant and why she had to go so many times.

Seeing that his sister had been talking for a long time but hadn't gotten to the point, Song Youlin slapped her.

Song Shuangshuang coughed lightly, then told Tan Anjing with a serious face that she had a small connection and could get some things, and the three of them planned to go to the county to make money during the slack season.

Tan Anjing immediately understood what Song Shuangshuang and the other two were going to do.

Although Tan Anjing was spoiled at home, she was not completely ignorant.

"Are you going to the black market?"

"I guess so. What do you think? Do you want to join us?"

Seeing that Tan Anjing was not particularly surprised, Song Shuangshuang asked tentatively. Unexpectedly, Tan Anjing's next behavior surprised her.

Tan Anjing grabbed Song Shuangshuang's hand, her eyes almost sparkling.

"Really? You want to take me with you? After I build the house, I want to not rely on my family anymore and see if I can support myself by farming. But when I calculated the work points that day, I knew it was unlikely. Shuangshuang, if you are willing to take me with you, I promise not to hold you back. I will do whatever you do, and I will never let others know."

Except for Song Shuangshuang, the other two did not expect Tan Anjing to react like this. They all thought that even if Tan Anjing agreed to go with them, she would hesitate for a while, or simply not participate.

Unexpectedly...she was quite excited.
