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

When they returned home, Song Shuangshuang and Tan Anjing were sitting in the house waiting for them, with the prepared food warming in the pot.

"Drink some water to warm yourself up first, and then eat later." Song Shuangshuang was afraid that the two of them would feel uncomfortable in their stomachs if they ate right after drinking a lot of cold water.

The two of them held the bowls and drank the hot water slurply.

Tan Anjing waited until the two put down their bowls before asking how Grandpa Sun was doing and whether his fever had subsided.

"No, Grandpa Sun was sweating when we went there, and he hasn't woken up yet. Let's go check it out tomorrow night."

Knowing that Grandpa Sun's fever had subsided, everyone felt relieved.

"Make some more food tomorrow and send it to them. It's so cold in this cowshed. I don't know if it's warm enough."

There were four people in the cowshed, two old men, one with a battered body, and only Wen Zicheng looked strong, but that was just an appearance. If the room wasn't warm, they would be frozen to death.

"It's not that cold in the room, it's quite warm."

Song Shuangshuang was still worried. She was afraid that Grandpa Jiang and Grandpa Sun would be cold, so she wondered whether she should unlock the household goods section and send some quilts or something over there.

Song Youlin saw what his sister was thinking and told her through the system not to make a decision yet and to discuss it with He Feiyang and the others later.

During the meal, Song Shuangshuang put forward her own ideas, "I have never been to Heilongjiang Province before, so I don't know how cold it is here in winter. He Feiyang, you came earlier than us. Is it so cold in winter in previous years?"

It was only November, but she felt it was almost as cold as the coldest days of winter. If she went out without wearing too much and it was windy, she would be frozen to the bone. It hadn't been like this before.

He Feiyang was also worried about the bullpen, so he thought for a while before answering Song Shuangshuang.

"In fact, the temperature is about the same every year. This year is considered good. There were only two snowfalls, and they were not heavy. If you wait until the end of this month, I guess we won't be able to go to the city."

Song Shuangshuang stirred the rice in the bowl with chopsticks and suddenly she was at a loss.

"What's wrong, Shuangshuang?" Tan Anjing sat next to Song Shuangshuang and asked when she saw that she was absent-minded.

Song Shuangshuang sighed and said that she was a little worried about the cowshed. Didn't she also go to the cowshed on the day the red armbands came to the village? It seemed that their conditions were really difficult. Except for Grandpa Jiang, the other three people didn't even have a thick cotton coat. The quilts were also old and didn't look very warm.

"I'm thinking about going to the city again in the next few days to see if I can get some cotton and make them a thicker quilt."

Ever since she knew about Jiang Jingcheng's relationship with Grandpa Jiang, she knew why Jiang Jingcheng often went to the black market. He had to earn more money to support his family, especially to take care of Grandpa Jiang. It was estimated that the little money he earned was used to subsidize the cowshed.

Otherwise, life in the bullpen would be much harder than it is now.

Tan Anjing thought that Song Shuangshuang might not be able to get so much cotton. In the three provinces of Northeast China, cotton is in short supply, and you can't get much cotton without some connections. Many people have worn cotton clothes and quilts for many years, and they are no longer warm.

"Can it be obtained? Or ask Jiang Jingcheng, he should have connections there." Wasn't the share given to Uncle Wen after hunting wild boars last time the cotton that Jiang Jingcheng exchanged for?

"Let me try." When that didn't work, she unlocked the household goods section and took out all the cotton from the quilt.

Song Youlin remained silent. He knew his sister's personality. Once she made up her mind, she would never look back.

In the past, he always worried that his sister would be cheated. In this era... he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Of course, he had no objection to his sister being nicer to the people in the bullpen, and he even agreed with it.

After listening to He Feiyang's advice, Song Shuangshuang decided to go to Jiang Jingcheng with her brother tomorrow to ask. Who knows, maybe he can get more than her.

At night, only Song Shuangshuang and her brother were left at home. Seeing that the light was still on in Song Shuangshuang's room, Song Youlin went over to ask her what she was going to do.

"Sister, are you really planning to unlock the home furnishings section?" Just to help those people in the bullpen who have nothing to do with her?

"It depends. If Jiang Jingcheng can get cotton, I won't unlock it. If not, then unlock it. We can use the things inside and make some money."

After hearing so many reasons from his sister, Song Youlin understood that his sister had thought it all through.

"Okay then, it's up to you."

Song Shuangshuang was surprised and asked Song Youlin why he stopped trying to persuade her.

"Sister, this is not a bad thing. I want to help them too. We can save up points after they are used up. It's not like they will disappear once they are used up. Don't worry about doing what you want to do. I support you. Just one thing, don't be too reckless."

The main reason was that he was afraid that his sister would become too proud and not be as cautious as she was at the beginning, which could easily lead to accidents.

Song Shuangshuang suddenly reached out and flicked Song Youlin's head, saying unhappily, "Don't worry, I'm smart and won't get carried away. Besides, you're still here, my good brother."

Song Youlin was shaken by Song Shuangshuang's sudden tenderness. He pretended to have goose bumps and wiped his arms twice.

"Stop, stop, stop. This style doesn't suit you. Be normal!"

Song Shuangshuang: "...", bent down, picked up the shoes on the ground and was about to hit Song Youlin.

"Poor kid! You're so brave!"

When Song Youlin saw her sister's action, she fled out of the house and closed the door. After waiting for a while, she quietly opened the door a crack and said to Song Shuangshuang through the crack, "This is the real you!!" After that, she closed the door without waiting for Song Shuangshuang's reaction.

Song Shuangshuang: "..." Her brother is really awesome, he is really nice even when he is free!

Ah! My teeth itch!

The weather was nice the next day and the sun came out.

Song Shuangshuang stood in the yard and stretched, thinking about what to do today. The mountain was covered with snow, so she definitely couldn't go up the mountain, and her brother wouldn't let her.

After pondering for a long time, Song Shuangshuang decided to go with her brother to find Jiang Jingcheng and ask her if she could get some cotton. If not, she would prepare to ask the system to refresh some tasks for her and unlock the home furnishings area.

She took a look before going to bed last night. The household goods area didn't require many points, only 150 points to unlock it. She currently had 134 points, and two more tasks would be enough. If a high-score task could be refreshed next time she entered the city, it could be unlocked, but to be on the safe side, she still wanted to ask the system to refresh one more for her in the next two days.

But what excuse could she use to go to Jiang Jingcheng? If the villagers saw her in broad daylight, they would gossip about her.

Song Shuangshuang thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good excuse. Finally, she decided to throw this difficult problem to Song Youlin and let him find a solution.

He could ask Jiang Jingcheng or call Jiang Jingcheng to her house. In short, this reason made her brother want to go.

Song Shuangshuang looked sly and said to Song Youlin who was cooking in the kitchen

"Brother, please help me."

Song Youlin had just taken an egg out of the Space Supermarket. When he heard the sound, his hands shook and the egg almost fell to the ground.

Song Youlin: "..." He turned back to look at Song Shuangshuang with a look of disgust.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"
