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

The brother and sister happily went to the new home without taking anything in their hands. The craftsmanship of the iron pot was really different from the current ones, so Song Shuangshuang decided to find an opportunity to go to the county town, make it old, and then bring some back.

Seeing Song Shuangshuang's happy look, Aunt Chang who came to help couldn't help but joked, "Are you so happy because you found money?"

"No, no! I just thought of something happy! Haha!" I exchanged dozens of points for a bunch of things, which is not happy. In fact, it is almost like picking up money!

After working for another two hours, it was almost dark, and Song Shuangshuang's yard was completely repaired!

Looking at the newly renovated yard in front of her, Song Shuangshuang had a sense of belonging. She and her brother had a home again!

The people who came to help also walked around the yard and helped Song Shuangshuang to see if there were any places that had not been repaired.

Seeing the empty backyard, Liu Juhua told Song Shuangshuang that she would ask Jiang Changgui to move some vegetables over for her in the next few days.

"No, no, the vegetables are already grown. How can we move them? If we don't have vegetables to eat, we'll ask you to exchange them." She and Song Youlin didn't plan to take the vegetables from the small vegetable garden of the educated youth. If they didn't have vegetables to eat, they could just ask the aunt in the village for money to exchange them.

"They haven't grown yet. These are the newly grown seedlings that I moved over to you." Liu Juhua covered her mouth and laughed. Seeing Song Shuangshuang's confused face, she knew that she didn't know when to plant what vegetables. She patiently explained to Song Shuangshuang that it was only in this season that cabbage, radish and kidney beans were planted.

These were the seedlings of vegetables that she wanted to transplant to Song Shuangshuang.

Song Shuangshuang then realized that different vegetables have different planting seasons. Radishes and cabbages are cold-resistant and should be planted in this season. They can be harvested when it is about to snow.

With an embarrassed look on his face, he said, "Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law."

"It's just some vegetable seedlings. You can't live here until the kang in the house is dry. I'll ask Brother Changgui to get them for you tomorrow."

Song Shuangshuang asked Liu Juhua some questions about growing vegetables. When she was in school, she thought it was fun, so she bought some seeds online and planted green onions in a foam box. However, she went home for the holidays before the vegetables grew up, so she had no idea what vegetables to plant in what season or how to grow them.

If it were modern times, she could check it online, but now she can only ask people.

Liu Juhua patiently told Song Shuangshuang about some vegetables commonly grown in Heilongjiang Province, and told her to buy two jars when winter is coming, and she would teach Song Shuangshuang how to pickle sauerkraut and make soybean paste. The ground here is frozen in winter, and there are no fresh vegetables. We can only eat pickled sauerkraut and mushrooms picked in the mountains in autumn.

Song Shuangshuang knew about all this and decided to unlock the vegetable area next time so that she could have some fresh vegetables in winter.

Aunt Chang on the side also said that she would move some other dishes to Song Shuangshuang, and that it would be enough for her and Liu Juhua each.

So as long as they wait until the kang in the house is completely dry, Song Shuangshuang and Song Youlin can move in.

Song Shuangshuang wondered if the team leader would agree to her request for leave again in the next two days. She had already requested leave twice this month. She had to go to the county town to "buy" an iron pot. In addition, the autumn harvest was coming in two days. She had heard from the old educated youth that during the autumn harvest period, only serious injuries could be rested. Minor injuries like being cut by a sickle were not allowed to be taken off. After the bleeding stopped, they had to continue working.

And even after the autumn harvest, we still have to thresh the millet, so we can't rest for a while.

Song Shuangshuang was afraid that the news was wrong, so she simply asked Aunt Chang if she could take a leave during the autumn harvest.

"The autumn harvest work is very hard and no one can ask for leave. Unless you are too sick to get up from the bed, you have to work. What's wrong?"

Song Shuangshuang said embarrassedly that she wanted to ask for leave to go to the city. She forgot to buy an iron pot last time she went there. Now that she was about to move in, she couldn't be without something to cook with.

"Well, I thought it was nothing. Every year, the village will give people a day off before the autumn harvest, so that they can have a good rest. Many people in the village will go to the city to buy some meat and bring it back to nourish the strong laborers at home."

Hearing Aunt Chang's words, Song Shuangshuang felt relieved. It would be good if she could get a leave. And from what Aunt Chang said, the villagers went to buy meat? Then wouldn't it be her chance to make extra money?

Because Liu Juhua was there, Song Shuangshuang winked at Aunt Chang and said that she would go to her house later to make some more things.

Aunt Chang understood immediately.

So Aunt Chang went back home on the pretext of having something to do. As soon as the door was locked, Song Shuangshuang took Song Youlin to Aunt Chang's house.

On the way, Song Shuangshuang told Song Youlin that she planned to go to the city again before the autumn harvest, and then bring some things back for Aunt Chang. As for what to bring, it depended on what they had.

As soon as I arrived at Aunt Chang's house, I saw Aunt Wang in the yard. When they saw someone coming, they took Song Shuangshuang's hand and sat down.

Seeing Aunt Wang's troubled expression, Song Shuangshuang knew that she had something to bother her with, so she asked, "Aunt Wang, are you worried about something?"

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Aunt Wang swallowed them back, hesitating whether to say them out loud or not. She wondered if it would be too embarrassing to say them out loud.

Looking at Aunt Wang's expression, Song Shuangshuang guessed two things. Recalling what Aunt Chang said just now, Song Shuangshuang tentatively asked, "Aunt Wang, do you want me to help buy some meat?" It was probably something related to money, otherwise Aunt Wang wouldn't be so reluctant to ask.

After hearing Song Shuangshuang's straightforward words, Aunt Wang showed an embarrassed look and said, "It's about this. It's the autumn harvest, and I want to buy some meat. But where can we get meat coupons in the countryside? I wanted to ask if you have any. Auntie wants to exchange two with you."

If she had a meat ticket, she wouldn't have to be so embarrassed. Just now, Yue'e told her that Song Shuangshuang was going to the city, and she knew that the child meant to bring things back for them so that they wouldn't have to go to the city.

But she didn't have any meat tickets, and it was impossible for her to ask Song Shuangshuang to buy them for her on the black market. What kind of person would she be then?

So I wanted to ask Song Shuangshuang if she had any extra meat tickets, but then I remembered that Song Shuangshuang's brother was not in good health, and he might keep the meat for himself even if he had some. So I hesitated about how to start.

I didn't expect Song Shuangshuang to say this directly.

As soon as Song Shuangshuang heard it, she knew she had guessed right. Although she didn't have a meat ticket, she had a supermarket!

"Auntie, how much meat do you want to buy? I'll bring it for you depending on the situation." She couldn't say it for sure. If something unexpected happened along the way, it would not be something she could control.

Hearing what Song Shuangshuang said, Aunt Wang smiled instantly and said, "No matter how much meat tickets you have, I will exchange them with you. I won't let you suffer any loss." She had prepared it before she came over.

Song Shuangshuang stopped Aunt Wang's hand and said that it would be in time to settle the bill after bringing the things back.

Aunt Wang thought for a while before she told Song Shuangshuang to buy for herself first. If there were any extra tickets, she could bring back a pound of pork for her. If there weren't that many tickets, half a pound would be fine, so that at least she could have something to eat.

They only celebrated weddings throughout the year, and could eat some meat when the village slaughtered pigs before the New Year and during the autumn harvest. Normally, they would not even eat eggs, but would save them and sell them in the town for money.
