Travel through different worlds and experience different lives

After separating the household registration books, Feng Qingcheng took her brother to buy things. The first thing they did was to buy two watches, one for each brother and sister.

Then they started to sign up. Feng Xiang signed up to serve as a soldier in the black market in Northeast China, and Feng Qingcheng signed up to go to the black market and work in the countryside.

Feng Xiang and Feng Qingcheng each received a subsidy of 200 yuan, plus various tickets.

After signing up, we went shopping for clothes, shoes and other things we needed. We bought everything we could use. We bought the rest when we got there and mailed the things we bought, so we didn’t need to bring a lot of stuff when we left.

After all, they will live there in the future, so there is no point in saving money. What's more, they don't lack this little money now. The reason is that Feng Qingcheng has sold a lot of food on the black market over the years, and now they still have tens of thousands of yuan.

They departed on the same day and took the same train. Feng Qingcheng asked for two sleeper tickets, but of course they had to pay for them.

On the morning of the day of departure, the brother and sister got up, picked up their backpacks, went to the state-owned restaurant, bought ten servings of braised pork and fifty steamed buns, and rushed to the train station.

After getting on the bus and finding their own compartment, they both breathed a sigh of relief. They had now started their new life and no longer needed to be suppressed in that home.

Nothing happened on the train and they arrived at their destination smoothly. Feng Xiang still had to sit for a few more stops. Feng Qingcheng said goodbye to her brother and got off the train first. Anyway, they knew each other's addresses and could write to each other in the future. Moreover, they were in the same city, so the letters wouldn't be too slow in arriving.

After Dafeng Qingcheng reported to the Youth League Office, she found the Longyue Brigade. The person who received the educated youth was the brigade leader, whose surname was Cheng and whose name was Cheng Kai. He was also a veteran and was 35 years old this year.

Now the other educated youth have not arrived yet, Feng Qingcheng introduced herself and said: Uncle Cheng, are there any houses for sale in our team?

Cheng Kai asked curiously: Do you want to buy a house?

Feng Qingcheng nodded and said: Yes, I don’t like living with others. If we live together, there will be conflicts whether we eat more or less. I want to live by myself so that whatever I eat is my own.

Captain Cheng thought for a moment and said, "What kind of house do you want?" Now there is a house in the brigade at the foot of the mountain with two rooms, but it may not be convenient for a girl like you. The other houses are large and expensive.

Feng Qingcheng thought for a moment and said: "Uncle Cheng, let's go for the house at the foot of the mountain. I'm not afraid of danger. I know Kung Fu, so as long as no one messes with me, I won't cause trouble. What's more, it's easier for me to collect firewood at the foot of the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Captain Cheng smiled and said: Okay, as long as you are not afraid. The house costs one hundred yuan. If you want it, I will go and get the property certificate for you.

Feng Qingcheng nodded and said, "Yes," and then gave the captain 120 yuan. By the way, she put two boxes of cigarettes in his pocket. After all, there are still many things to do, and you can't ask the captain for help for nothing.

Captain Cheng counted and found that there were twenty extra: Feng Zhiqing, you gave too much.

Feng Qingcheng shook her head and said: Not much, one hundred is for the property certificate, and I don’t know how much is for the processing procedures or something. If there is any rest, when I return to the team, Uncle Cheng will help me find a few people to clean up the house. After all, any unoccupied house needs to be cleaned up.

Upon hearing this, the captain smiled and said: Okay girl, Uncle Cheng will find someone to clean it up for you.

You wait here for a while. If there are any educated youth coming, ask them to wait. I will go and process it for you.

Feng Qingcheng nodded and said: Okay, uncle, you go, I'll help you watch it.

Soon after the captain left, people began to come over. Feng Qingcheng asked, "Are you all here for the Longyue Brigade? If so, please wait here for a while. The captain is going to do something."

There were four men and seven women, plus Feng Qingcheng, making eight women. How did this team divide up so many women?

Feng Qingcheng felt speechless, but she didn't say anything.

Looking at this group of people, there are three men with relatively upright eyes, while the others are not so good. Don't ask how I know this, you have to know that even if Feng Qingcheng's current body is not a god, his soul is still a god. You can probably tell what kind of person he is just by looking at his eyes.

However, Feng Qingcheng had no intention of having anything to do with them, so she did not continue chatting with this group of people. Instead, she sat aside waiting for the captain, thinking about picking up the package later.

After arriving at the brigade and cleaning up the house, I came out to buy other things.

Half an hour later, Captain Cheng came back and started calling the roll:

Male educated youth:

Song Shuai is 20 years old and graduated from high school.

Zhang Liang is 20 years old and graduated from high school.

Liu Yi is 19 years old and graduated from high school.

Wang Wei is 18 years old and graduated from high school.

Female educated youth:

Zhang Xiaolan is 19 years old and graduated from junior high school.

Zhang Xiaomei is 18 years old and graduated from junior high school.

Liu Lili is 18 years old and graduated from high school.

Bai Xiaocao is 19 years old and graduated from junior high school.

Chen Shuang is 17 years old and graduated from junior high school.

Zhao Yuyan is 20 years old and graduated from junior high school.

Qian Xiaohe is 18 years old and graduated from junior high school.

Feng Qingcheng is 12 years old and graduated from high school.

After everyone's name was called, everyone looked at Feng Qingcheng. It wasn't a question of whether she was pretty or not, but rather that she was too young.

Everyone thought that it was obvious that this child was not a favored one, as he was thrown into the countryside to fend for himself at such a young age.

Team leader Cheng Kai didn't think so. Judging from the way he just used money to buy a house, he was not short of money, so he didn't say anything else and said directly: Those who have luggage will pass by the post office on their way back, so go and get your luggage.

Those who don't have luggage will be given an hour to buy things. You can go now and gather at the post office in an hour. If you don't know the way, just ask where the post office is.

If you don’t want to buy today, you can buy it later. Everyone has two days of rest when they first arrive, and then they will go back to work after two days.

After the team leader finished speaking, he drove the ox cart ahead without letting anyone get on.

Several female educated youth said hello to the team leader and left.

The rest of the people followed the captain to the post office. While walking, Feng Qingcheng asked Captain Cheng: Uncle Cheng, where can I buy pots, pans, and utensils?

The team leader said: The supply and marketing cooperative sells it, you can go and have a look.

Feng Qingcheng nodded and said: Okay, I will go buy it now and gather at the post office later.

After saying that, he left quickly and arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. He saw that they were indeed for sale, so he bought all the pots, pans, and even a stove.

I bought a kitchen knife, a hatchet and other utensils, some candy, malted milk, milk cakes and so on, and put them all in the backpack and walked towards the state-owned restaurant. I bought fifty buns and five boxes of braised pork.

After buying everything, I went to the post office, picked up my package, put it on the ox cart, gave the team leader ten buns and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Cheng. Eat something to fill your stomach first."

Cheng Kai didn't want it, Feng Qingcheng directly handed it to him and said: "Don't push it around, it won't look good to others. It's not something valuable, it's just food. We will be in the same team in the future, there's no need to be so petty."

Cheng Kai was a little speechless when he heard this: How can this be considered as fussing over a small amount? He still felt very comfortable in his heart. This child was the youngest and had a high school education, which showed that he had a good brain.

The most important thing is that whoever has something delicious now, who would give so many buns at once? It can be seen that this kid is not a stingy person and is generous.

Feng Qingcheng said: Just take it if I give it to you. Don’t be so shy as a man.

I am young and can't finish so much. It's shameful to waste food, so don't give in.

While waiting for someone, Feng Qingcheng asked for the brigade's phone number, then bought stamps and stationery at the post office and wrote a letter to her brother, telling him that she had arrived and that the brigade leader was very easy-going and nice, and also a retired soldier, so she told him not to worry and that he could call the brigade if there was any emergency.

She also put one hundred yuan, as well as meat coupons and food coupons in it, telling her brother that he didn't need to be frugal in the army, and that she wouldn't need them in the countryside. After all, she could get meat in the mountains and exchange food with the villagers, so he wouldn't starve.

He also said that he would make him a few pairs of cotton shoes and cotton clothes when he had free time in a few days, and mailed him a few cartons of cigarettes, asking him to distribute them to the leaders. He was a small soldier now, so the gifts could not be too obvious, so as not to make people think that he was trying to curry favor with him.

After writing, he took out a few cartons of cigarettes from his backpack, which were of course tied with newspapers. After mailing the things, he returned to the ox cart and waited for others.

When I have nothing to do, I chat with Captain Cheng to learn about the situation in the team.

Qingcheng said: Uncle Cheng, do we need to hand in the pheasants and rabbits we hunt in the mountains?

Captain Cheng said: No, small animals do not need to be handed in, but large animals do, such as wild boars, wild deer, wild goats, etc. These need to be handed in.

However, the meat you hand in is measured in centimeters, two centimeters for every pound of meat. But don't go into the deep mountains, as there are tigers and wolves there, and it's very dangerous.

Feng Qingcheng nodded and said: I understand, don't worry, I won't risk my life for a few centimeters. Besides, I have enough food, so I won't take any risks.

Feng Qingcheng would indeed not go hunting for the people in the team, but she could hunt and then make meat sauce and mail it to her brother, so that her brother could make friends over there. Meat is in short supply now, after all, soldiers are not allowed to go up the mountain to hunt.
