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

After Lu Xiaotao finished adding firewood and stood up, she saw the two standing there with complicated expressions. She didn't understand what was going on, so she turned to ask Song Shuangshuang, "Song Zhiqing, you said your brother is here? Didn't you just go to the countryside? Is he here to see you?"

Tan Anjing sat on a small stool peeling garlic, and was very curious, otherwise she wouldn't have added too much water and been disliked by Lu Zhiqing.

Seeing that the two were interested in her brother's visit, Song Shuangshuang did not hide the fact that "my brother also came to our village to work, and the village chief just brought him back."

Neither of them thought this was the reason. They thought that Song Shuangshuang's family was worried about her and came to see her.

"Why are both of you going to the countryside? Can't it be enough for one person to go?" Tan Anjing was very puzzled. Lu Xiaotao also nodded. She went to the countryside in place of her sister.

Song Shuangshuang bared her white teeth and said proudly, "Isn't this to respond to the call?"

The two were speechless. They knew that Song Shuangshuang was not telling the truth, but they did not ask any more questions. After all, everyone has their own secrets.

Song Shuangshuang didn't care whether the two believed it or not, she smiled and said, "Thank you for cooking for one more person," and jumped out. Seeing her like this, Lu Xiaotao shook her head, remembering that she had just added some firewood, and quickly lifted the lid of the pot to see how the soup was.

When it’s almost done, wet your hands, grab a piece of dough and start pressing the pancake along the edge of the pan.

Tan Anjing saw that the garlic was almost enough, so she put it on the chopping board and flattened it to prepare to chop it. After eating stews several times, she also knew that sprinkling some minced garlic before serving would make the dish more fragrant.

Song Youlin followed Feng Aiguo into the house, packed up his things and came out. He saw that there was nothing on the kang, just mud bricks, and he definitely couldn't put a mattress on it. He planned to ask his sister what was on the kang, if there was an extra one, give him one, if not, let his sister find a way for him, because his sister came earlier than him.

And his meals today and tomorrow also depend on his sister.

When he left the house, Song Shuangshuang was already sitting in the yard with a bench waiting for him.

"Sit down and wait for a moment. I'll provide you with food for the next two days!" Song Shuangshuang felt that her brother should be grateful to him. She provided him with food for a day and a half. How many work points did she have to earn to get this little bit of food?

Song Youlin saw his sister sitting on the bench by herself, not even thinking of preparing one for him, and said with a sigh, "You sit and I stand, is that appropriate?"

"If you want a bench, go buy it yourself. I made this bench myself." She wanted to make two before, but she remembered that there was Bai Lingling at the educated youth center, and she was afraid that she would take advantage of her, so she only made one. Who knew Song Youlin would come?

Song Youlin complained about being stingy. He then asked Song Shuangshuang if there was anything like a mattress on the kang in their room. "I just saw that there was nothing on the kang. It was just adobe."

Song Shuangshuang had never been to the boys' dormitory and didn't know if they had straw mats. But the straw mat in the girls' room wasn't hers, so she couldn't bring it over. After thinking for a while, she said, "I'll take you to get a straw mat after dinner tonight, and get you something else." She went to Aunt Chang's house again some time ago and saw that there seemed to be a lot of straw and willow branches in her yard.

Recently, I went out for a walk with Tan Anjing after dinner. She saw some aunties in the village carrying baskets to grind flour, and she wanted to get some back too. It would be convenient for her to grind corn kernels there in the future, and she wouldn't have to carry the bag back and forth, which was quite tiring.

It seems that he didn't expect that his sister could get these things in the village. "Song Shuangshuang is amazing. How long have you been here and you have established good relationships with the villagers?"

"Don't underestimate me."

Song Shuangshuang wanted to ask Song Youlin how he got here and what was going on at home, but she noticed Feng Aiguo was still in the yard and was afraid that others would hear her, so she didn't say anything. She thought she would wait until the evening to find a chance to talk again. At this time, the male educated youth came back.

A few people were happily discussing going for a walk in the mountains tomorrow when they saw a strange man talking to Song Shuangshuang in the yard. They exchanged glances and said that they had never seen this person in the village.

I was very curious about who this person was. He seemed very familiar with Song Zhiqing.

"This is the educated youth who went to the countryside today. He is the younger brother of educated youth Song." Feng Aiguo came over at the right time to help introduce him.

When they heard that he was Song Shuangshuang's younger brother, they realized that the two of them had very similar eyebrows and eyes.

"Hello, my name is Song Youlin."

Cui Ziming took out three pheasant eggs from his pocket and said to Song Youlin, "You came at the right time. We just picked up some pheasant eggs in the mountains. We will fry them and eat them as a welcome to you."

Song Shuangshuang immediately laughed and said, "My brother is in for a treat. Let's have him go to the mountains with you guys tomorrow. When he was little, he would run around a lot and even caught a rabbit once. Maybe he'll catch something and bring it back someday. Let's have a feast together."

This is just nonsense from Song Shuangshuang. Not to mention whether the original siblings had ever gone to the countryside to catch rabbits in this era, even in modern times, no rabbits have been seen running around outside.

Song Youlin: "..." His sister is just the same as before, talking nonsense.

Song Shuangshuang: "..." Her brother is really good at making up stories.

He also couldn't let people see that his sister was lying, so Song Youlin nodded seriously and said, "I have caught sparrows a few times before. When we have time, let's make traps together to catch sparrows and roast them for food."

Emmm, in fact, he had only seen others do it on short video apps. As for himself...

Practice makes perfect, and you will gain experience by failing a few times.

After hearing what the siblings said, everyone not only believed it but were also very happy.

Zhang Guoqing really wanted to go catch sparrows and rabbits with Song Youhui right now, and said excitedly, "Then it's up to you!"

Brother and sister... okay, let's play it by ear.

Cui Ziming took the eggs to the kitchen and asked Lu Xiaotao to watch him cook. The others fetched water to wash their faces and hands. They had just come down from the mountain and were sweating all over, so they just washed their faces briefly and washed them thoroughly in the evening.

Although Jiangjia Village was considered a wealthy village in the surrounding area, it was the villagers who were wealthy, not the educated youth. She had basically not eaten meat for more than half a month in the countryside, and only last week she felt hungry, so she and Tan Anjing exchanged two eggs at Aunt Wang's house and each ate one. The two did not dare to cook at the educated youth's place, fearing that other educated youth would see them, so they asked Aunt Wang to bring them to the field after cooking, and they ate it secretly like thieves.

Song Shuangshuang was better. She had been working with her two aunts. She was known to the villagers as a hard-working and conscientious person. Besides, her two aunts were quite capable, so no one dared to come and complain. Tan Anjing was timid and did not dare to go back to her team. She took the opportunity to ask for leave to go to the toilet and came to Song Shuangshuang to eat eggs. She ate them in two or three bites, which choked her.

The two aunts were confused and didn't understand why they had to eat an egg in secret.

Afterwards, Song Shuangshuang explained to the aunts that the educated youth’s camp had basically the same few dishes every day, with no meat at all, because they were afraid of being seen by other educated youth.

Although it is not appropriate for the educated youth to point out other educated youth, it is better to have less trouble than more, and wait until they have spent more time together to understand each other's temperament. However, it seems that everything is fine now, and everyone gets along very harmoniously.
