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

They staggered back to the village. The aunts all got off the car, and Song Youlin also jumped off the car quickly to carry Song Shuangshuang back. He had packed the things he bought into his bag in the car, and if they couldn't fit in, he asked his sister to hold them for a while.

"Get in the car, I'll take you two back." Uncle Wu asked Song Youlin to get in the car.

Song Youlin felt that he couldn't trouble Grandpa Wu. He had already returned late, and Grandpa Wu hadn't eaten the buns. How could he let Grandpa Wu send them back hungry? "No need, Grandpa Wu. I can carry my sister back. You should go back and eat quickly. Grandma Wu must be waiting for you at home."

If he could listen to advice, he would not be Uncle Wu.

Uncle Wu's eyes widened immediately. "Why? You don't trust me? How can I lead you two into trouble?"

Song Youlin quickly said that he didn't mean that. Under the pressure of Uncle Wu's eyes, he got on the donkey cart obediently.

Song Shuangshuang looked at Song Youlin with amusement and asked him why he was so stubborn. Song Youlin threatened Song Shuangshuang that he would ignore her if she said another word.

Uncle Wu parked his car at the gate of the Youth Farm, and while Song Youlin was carrying Song Shuangshuang into the yard, he helped carry the things in. He told Song Shuangshuang to take good care of her injuries, and asked Song Youlin to take good care of her and to come to him anytime if she had any problems, and then he drove the donkey cart away.

The educated youth have returned from work. The male educated youth are cooking. Bai Lingling, one of the female educated youth, is not there. The others are picking and washing vegetables, preparing the dishes to be cooked soon.

Seeing Song Shuangshuang being carried back by Song Youlin, she put down the food in her hand and asked her what happened. Knowing that she sprained her ankle, Lu Xiaotao squatted down to help her.

Song Shuangshuang didn't let him go. She was afraid of the smell after walking all morning in the hot summer. She said with a red face that she was fine and would be fine in two days.

Seeing that she was unwilling, Lu Xiaotao did not force her. "Then you sit here first. I'll get you a basin of well water and apply a towel to the sprained area, otherwise it will be swollen at night."

"No, no, just let my brother carry me into the house. The basin is in the room, and there are some rags in the box. I have to go in and unlock the door, and let him fetch the water."

It was indeed not convenient for them to rummage through Song Shuangshuang's locked box, so they asked Song Youlin to carry her inside and said they would call her out after dinner.

Song Shuangshuang thought of the dumplings and the unfinished food that she had just transferred to her backpack, and said, "My brother and I went to the state-owned restaurant for lunch. We ordered a lot of food and didn't finish it. If you don't mind, you can eat together."

When they heard that Song Shuangshuang and her brother were going to eat at a state-owned restaurant, they quickly refused. The food in the state-owned restaurant was expensive, and they would feel embarrassed even if there were leftovers. They said that they could just let the brother and sister eat by themselves and didn't need to bring them along.

"It's hot and the food can't be kept out, you guys should eat together." How can I ask you to bring my brother to eat together if you don't want to eat.

Several old educated youth exchanged glances with each other and said, "Thank you, educated youth Song." Although they didn't know what the dish was, the food in the state-owned restaurant was rich in oil and fat. Even if they brought back leftovers, they could add some vegetables to cook together and it would still taste good.

Besides, they really hadn't eaten anything oily for a long time, so they were a little greedy.

Song Youlin took out two lunch boxes from his bag and handed them to Wan Xue. Fearing that the female educated youth would mind, he explained, "We both ate from one side. We didn't touch the food in the lunch boxes with chopsticks, and the same goes for the dumplings."

After the lunch box was taken out, the bag became much emptier. Song Youlin put the things that Uncle Wu had helped her bring in into the bag, and asked his sister to hold the bag and carry her into the dormitory.

"Where did you put the basin?"

Song Shuangshuang pointed to the two basins stacked on the small table and said, "Those two are mine. Don't take the wrong ones. The enamel basin is for washing your face, and the wooden basin is for washing your feet." She took out a few pieces of cloth that Zhao Ping'an had given her before from the box, put the things she had just bought into the box, locked it, and crawled back to the kang, where she sat and waited for Song Youlin to come back with some water.

Song Youlin carried the wooden basin into the room and saw his sister sitting on the kang waiting for him. He squatted down, wet two pieces of rags and applied them to Song Shuangshuang's ankles. "I really owe you. I have to serve you now that I'm here."

"You are my younger brother after all. If you don't take care of me, who will? I'm warning you, be nice to me, otherwise I won't take you out to live with me." Song Shuangshuang said half jokingly and half threateningly.

"Like I want to, while no one is around, tell me about the system." There was no time to talk about the system for a long time. "And what do you mean by space?"

Song Shuangshuang wanted to reach out and pat Song Youlin on the head, but she was sitting on the kang and couldn't touch her brother who was 180 cm tall. She whispered, "Why are you so tall?"

Signaling Song Youlin to close the door, Song Shuangshuang carefully explained the system to him.

"You know what happened earlier. After I told you about the system at the post office today, the special area was unlocked. I took a quick look while waiting for you at the state-owned restaurant. It was a large supermarket. I didn't know if people could go in, but I tried to put the lunch box in and succeeded." In fact, she didn't know where to put the things, and she was in a hurry to leave, so she tried it, and unexpectedly succeeded.

Song Youlin asked again what the shared system was all about.

"I'm not sure about that either. Should we both be able to use this system to complete tasks and earn points for the lottery? I haven't had time to ask the system yet."

Song Youlin motioned Song Shuangshuang not to speak, and walked to the window and the door to observe the surroundings. "Let's talk about this after we get back from collecting food in the afternoon. The male educated youth are eating outside."

Song Shuangshuang nodded to show that she understood, and pointed to her feet, "Change it, it's not cold anymore."

...Song Youlin squatted down resignedly to his fate and changed the wet cloth for Song Shuangshuang. Song Shuangshuang took the opportunity to touch the top of Song Youlin's head, her nose a little sour, "It's great to have you here."

Not long after, Tan Anjing came and knocked on the door. The meal was ready and she asked the two siblings to go and eat some.

Song Youlin took a piece of dry cloth to help Song Shuangshuang dry her ankles, and asked her to let them hang for a while without putting on shoes. He went out to get some water and then carried her out.

Song Shuangshuang sat obediently on the edge of the kang without moving, which made Tan Anjing very envious. "Your brother takes so much care of you." Song Shuangshuang smiled without saying anything.

When Song Youlin was a child, he was often sick and she took care of his younger brother. When he grew up, it was Song Youlin who took care of her, and she had long been used to it.

Song Youlin came back with some water and helped Song Shuangshuang put on her shoes and socks, then carried her to the yard.

Originally, the two of them had no intention of coming, as they had already eaten at the state-owned restaurant. But Tan Anjing said that Wan Zhiqing and the others had told them to ask them to come over and eat something, otherwise they would be embarrassed to eat. Song Shuangshuang had no choice but to agree.

The dining table was now separated. Song Youlin carefully put Song Shuangshuang down, went to the water tank and scooped out a bucket of water to wet a clean rag, then returned to Song Shuangshuang and asked her to wipe her hands, and specifically said that this cloth was not the one he used to wipe her feet just now.

After asking Song Youlin to sit down, Song Shuangshuang looked around and finally saw Bai Lingling over there with the male educated youth. She asked curiously what was going on.

Because of what happened before, the female educated youths didn't have a good impression of Bai Lingling. Lu Xiaotao glanced at the male educated youths and said, "She didn't express her opinion last night, so we thought she had no objection to it. But this morning, she went over and told the male educated youths that she could eat with them, but she was only responsible for cooking and didn't participate in fetching water or chopping firewood."
