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

Song Youlin was afraid that she would be cold, so he said that he and He Feiyang would go there.

Song Shuangshuang rolled his eyes at him. His brother was really missing something. It was not convenient for two grown men to go in. If the villagers saw it, who knows what would happen.

"I'll cover myself tightly and go with you. Youlin, get a stool. If An Jing doesn't open the door, climb over the wall and take a look."

The three of them arrived at the door of Tan Anjing's house. Song Shuangshuang first took a look through the crack in the door and saw that the bolt was still inserted, so the person should still be in the house, and then asked the two boys to knock on the door.

Her hands were cold and she didn't want to reach out.

After knocking for a long time, I didn't hear Tan Anjing come out to open the door.

The three of them looked at each other, wondering if anything had really happened in the house.

Song Shuangshuang took two steps forward and asked Song Youlin to put the stool under the wall and support herself.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Her sister was indeed wearing too much. Not to mention whether she could climb over the wall, it was also a question whether she could step on the stool.

Song Shuangshuang moved twice... Don't say it, it's really inconvenient. "These are all trivial matters."

He was about to take off his outermost cotton jacket, but was stopped by Song Youlin.

"Be quiet and don't catch a cold. Let's climb over it together. There is broken glass on the wall. It might stab you." Song Youlin was really worried about his sister's skills.

Don't get two more wounds on your body before you even get over the wall. I don't even know if there is tetanus vaccine in this era.

Song Shuangshuang didn't try to be brave. "Okay then, you two should be careful."

He Feiyang asked Song Youlin to hold the stool from the bottom while he stepped on it and flipped over.

Although there was broken glass on the wall, it was much more convenient to stand on a stool. He Feiyang carefully avoided the broken glass and climbed over with his hands. After entering the yard, he opened the bolt and let Song Shuangshuang and her brother in.

The yard was accessible, but the room door could not be opened from the outside.

Song Shuangshuang pressed her face against the glass, trying to see what was going on inside through the curtains. Unfortunately, Tan Anjing's curtains were too thick, so she couldn't see anything.

"Keep knocking on the door. No matter how loud you knock, he'll hear it." It's winter, and I don't dare to break the glass.

The two boys took turns knocking for a while because they had something to do. He Feiyang vaguely heard some noise in the house and asked Song Youlin to stop knocking.

Hearing the sound getting closer, the three of them felt relieved.

In order to avoid suspicion, the two boys deliberately moved away and let Song Shuangshuang stand in front.

Tan Anjing opened the door from inside and asked in a hoarse voice why Song Shuangshuang came.

Song Shuangshuang frowned, "An Jing, are you sick?"

Tan Anjing said "Huh?" and then said, "Shuangshuang, stop wandering."

Seeing her like this, Song Shuangshuang quickly walked over to help Tan Anjing. Feeling her palms were hot, Song Shuangshuang touched her forehead again.

Okay, this girl has a fever too.

It was probably because I was tired and sweating from taking care of her yesterday, and when I came back in the evening, I was blown by the cool breeze, and that's what happened.

Tan Anjing could hardly stand, but she still remembered to care about Song Shuangshuang.

"Shuangshuang, is your fever down? Have you taken medicine? Have you eaten?"

Song Shuangshuang helped the man walk into the house, and her mouth was not idle. "Retreat, eat, eat."

After helping the man lie down in the house, I realized something was wrong. Why was the room so cold?

I reached out and touched the kang. It was cold! Maybe the girl was confused by the wind last night and forgot to heat the kang.

After covering Tan Anjing with the quilt, Song Shuangshuang called her brother and He Feiyang over.

"Okay, Anjing has a fever too. The kang in the house is cold. Youlin, go home and get a thermos. He Feiyang, help heat up the kang. I'll go in and take care of Anjing. You two can go back and eat after that."

A few words set things straight.

Although Song Shuangshuang herself is also a patient, there is nothing they can do about it as it is inconvenient for the two boys.

Song Shuangshuang didn't give Tan Anjing medicine. The medicine of this era is too strong. First, let's reduce the temperature physically. If it doesn't go down, then give her medicine.

It was the same procedure as last night, except that the two girls switched roles. The two boys stayed at Song Shuangshuang's house, ready to go at any time.

It was almost noon by the time Tan Anjing's fever subsided.

Seeing that Tan Anjing had woken up, Song Shuangshuang brought in the porridge that she had prepared long ago, but there was definitely no beef jerky.

Thus, before the third snowfall since the beginning of winter, the four of them achieved the feat of 'each getting sick once'.

The group did not plan to go into the city until the two girls recovered from their illness.

This delay lasted until mid-December.

It snowed in Jiangjia Village for three consecutive days, but fortunately, the snow was heavy only on the middle day, otherwise they would not have been able to even open the door.

Because they couldn't go to the city, they ate vegetables stored in the vegetable cellar during this period. The occasional meat was bacon and sausage that Song Shuangshuang took out from the space. They didn't dare to take any fresh meat because they forgot to prepare it for their family when they went to the city last time.

It's also because we've been eating so well these past two months, with meat every other day. It's been a while since we've eaten meat, and it's still delicious.

The roads are difficult to walk on after the snow, and Old Wu has not driven his donkey cart into the city recently. Several people are looking forward to the weather getting warmer every day so that they can ride the donkey cart into the city.

For this reason, Song Shuangshuang and her brother made a special trip to Old Wu's house to ask when he would go to the city, saying that they should send a letter home.

Old Wu calculated the time and said it would be about time in two days.

He has been driving a car in the village for many years and is very familiar with the road conditions.

So two days later, the four of them went to the village entrance early in the morning to wait for Old Wu. How much money did they lose during this period of rest?

Old Wu didn't know and thought they were really anxious to send a letter home. He said on the way that next time they wanted to send a letter, they didn't have to make this special trip. They could just give the letter to him and he would help mail it.

Several people thanked Old Wu for his kindness. Tan Anjing explained that he had sent a letter last time, and this time he called home on the due date. He also had to buy some daily necessities to bring back. The family had run out of matches and salt, so he planned to buy some other things to avoid buying too many things before the New Year and not being able to take them back.

Seeing this, Old Wu didn't know what to say.

Song Shuangshuang and her companions only planned to sell goods for half a day today. They had to drive Old Wu's donkey cart back at noon. Song Shuangshuang brought a lot of goods for the two of them.

Before going back at noon, Song Shuangshuang went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a jar.

Well, to prepare some kimchi for my trip back home.

The last time I made spicy cabbage, they ate half of it a few days ago and it received unanimous praise. They all asked to make more.

Song Shuangshuang also had this plan, and she also saved a piece of pork belly for herself, planning to make spicy cabbage and pork belly tonight.

When the four of them gathered back at Old Wu's place, Song Shuangshuang stuffed all the baskets they brought with cotton, and even filled the jar. If it hadn't been tied with a rope, the lid would have fallen off.

Seeing that the few people came back with a lot of things, Old Wu even joked why they didn't go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner.

"Grandpa, how can we eat at state-owned restaurants every time we come back? What kind of family is that? Aren't we waiting to slaughter pigs for the New Year? The pork in our village doesn't cost meat coupons. I will definitely save money to buy pork from the village."
