Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

17. Hibiscus fabric

When she woke up this morning, Liu Yumei came over again and brought her a basket of dried vegetables. She said that Ni'er had taken the medicine she gave her twice yesterday, and she was awake when she woke up this morning and was asking for food.

Being able to eat means that the person is fine now.

Liu Yumei specially sent some gifts to express her gratitude, which made Ji Qinglan feel embarrassed.

There are still many good people in the world who know how to be grateful, and this world is a beautiful place.

Ji Qinglan cooked some noodles with pork sauce and made a full bowl for herself and Xiao Hei. They had a delicious meal. When the little guy saw his mother eating happily, he shouted and rushed over to grab his mother's chopsticks, opening his mouth to eat as well.

Ji Qinglan found it very funny. He was thinking about eating something before his teeth had even grown out. I hoped it wasn’t something delicious.

So she cooked half a bowl of noodles for her son without any oil or salt. The little guy ate happily and swallowed a noodle with his toothless little mouth.

I still feel unsatisfied, half a bowl is not enough.

However, no matter how he screamed, Ji Qinglan refused to give him food.

After breakfast, Ji Qinglan took out the cloth and looked at it. He found that they were all cotton, not the coarse cloth commonly worn by villagers. Half of them had bright patterns, including red and green, with small flowers and large peonies and thyme flowers. They were all kinds of popular patterns. Ji Qinglan was dazzled and stunned.

The system really suits people's hearts, and the gifts are all in line with the characteristics of the era. You know, these bright red floral fabrics are very popular nowadays, and red clothes are indispensable during the New Year and other festivals, as well as birthday banquets.

The other half were plain colors. Ji Qinglan selected a few for himself and kept ten kilograms of cotton. The rest were placed in another grid.

The system gave her so many things, she couldn't use them all, but she couldn't keep them, otherwise the meaning of these things would be lost.

Thinking of Han Yuanjun, Ji Qinglan asked Xiao Hei to look after the house and secretly came to the educated youth point. At this moment, Han Yuanjun was about to go out with a backpack on his back, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw Ji Qinglan acting sneaky.

At this time, several educated youths at the educated youth point went up the mountain to collect firewood and mountain products, and there was no one else except him.

"Is Ji Zhiqing okay?"

"Brother Han, I have some things to sell. Do you want to buy them?" Ji Qinglan said in a low voice.

"What is it?"

"Some cotton, cloth, and food." Ji Qinglan said vaguely. In the village, there was no one she trusted more than Han Yuanjun, and apart from Han Yuanjun, she didn't want anyone else to know what she had.

In order to dispel Han Yuanjun's suspicion, Ji Qinglan explained that it was a comrade-in-arms of her parents who knew she was here and secretly brought it to her.

Note, it is done quietly.

Han Yuanjun frowned, and naturally understood the meaning of Ji Qinglan's words. It just so happened that he was in urgent need of cotton, so he didn't care where it came from and just bought it directly.

Knowing that Ji Qinglan had cotton cloth and brown sugar, he bought ten kilograms of cotton, two pieces of cloth, five kilograms of brown sugar, twenty kilograms of rice, and ten handfuls of noodles. He didn't have a ticket, so he just counted the money for Ji Qinglan according to the market price.

They agreed to pick up the goods in the woods between Ji's house and the educated youth point in the evening, and Ji Qinglan took the money and went home.

After returning home, Ji Qinglan took out a piece of yellow cloth with dark patterns and five kilograms of cotton and began to sew clothes for herself and her son.

She learned the skill of making clothes from the villagers with two bags of brown sugar after she came to the village. The first piece of clothing she made was for Liang Qian, so it goes without saying how difficult it was.

Alas! Thinking about it now, her sincerity was all in vain.

Being in love is really bad.

Looking at the bright material in her hands, Ji Qinglan finally decided to give up making new clothes. She took out the cotton from her and her son's old clothes and replaced them with new cotton. She also used two old clothes to make two winter clothes.

Now that they are orphans and widows, wearing new clothes with bright colors will undoubtedly bring disaster to themselves.

Although it was modified from old clothes, it was filled with new cotton. After putting it on, I felt warm inside.

If the quilt hadn't been made last year, she would have taken it apart and refilled it with cotton.

Looking at the full of things in her backpack, she thought about it and came up with an idea, which was to go to the county town to find a shady place to sell them.

However, she was afraid that her family would be watching her and she would be more likely to encounter danger if she went out, so she simply found a companion for herself.

Having made up her mind, she went to the village committee in the afternoon and asked the team leader about buying tickets.

Captain Xiang and Secretary Zhang were sitting in the office at this time. Hearing Ji Qinglan asking about the train ticket, Captain Xiang directly called Xiang Guo who was in the transport team in the county.

When I called, I had to call someone on the other end, so we agreed to call back in five minutes.

While waiting, Ji Qinglan told Secretary Zhang that she wanted to ask Liu Yumei to go to the county with her tomorrow to buy food and daily necessities for the journey, after all, it would take several days by train.

The distance between the Honghe Brigade and the county town is about the same, so when they travel, they usually choose to go directly to the county town where things are more complete.

Secretary Zhang nodded happily. He thought Ji Qinglan was good in every way. He nodded to everything Ji Qinglan said, and even asked Ji Qinglan to put the new sword at his home and let Niu Guixiang take care of it.

Ji Qinglan thanked him gratefully.

He looked at the captain, smoking his pipe silently, without saying a word.

As soon as the five minutes were up, the phone rang.

The call was from Xiangguo.

I asked the team leader about the train tickets, and Xiang Guo said that there were a lot of people traveling these two days, and tickets were hard to buy. He had already delayed some people, so he might have to wait a few days.

It’s like this with traveling these days, there are few trains, so you have to plan ahead if you want to travel.

Ji Qinglan thanked him and returned home.

In the evening, the village had become quiet and fine snowflakes were floating in the sky again. Ji Qinglan went out fifteen minutes early, put on a hat, wrapped herself in a wide scarf, and went to the grove.

I specially found two pieces of ordinary plain cloth for Han Yuanjun and put out other things. After waiting for less than a minute, Han Yuanjun came on time.

Neither of them spoke. Han Yuanjun touched the pure white and warm cotton with a look of delight in his eyes. He quickly counted the goods, thanked Ji Qinglan, then left with his things.

He did not return to the educated youth point, but went up the mountain. He found a secret cave on the mountain and hid his things there.

That night, Han Yuanjun sent some things to the cowshed.

The next morning, Ji Qinglan received the fifth day's subsidy from the system.

One hundred kilograms of cotton, twenty pieces of cloth, fifty kilograms each of rice, millet, and brown sugar, and twenty boxes of vanishing cream.

This time we had millet and vanishing cream, and it was another fruitful day.

Ji Qinglan carried a backpack, covered the bottom with a piece of tattered clothes, put his son inside, and rode his bicycle to Secretary Zhang's house.

When they arrived at Secretary Zhang's house, Niu Guixiang took Xiao Xincheng out, kissed his chubby little face, and smiled happily.

After a few days of Ji Qinglan's careful feeding, Xiao Xincheng's face gained some flesh and he looked chubby and very well behaved.
