Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

Ji Qinglan turned back weakly, looked at Sister Xiangqing pitifully and said, "Sister Xiangqing, I still have a severe headache and a sore throat. I really can't stand it. You should help me buy some more medicine."

As she spoke, she tremblingly took out a dollar from her pillow; she was pretending, because in fact she had almost recovered after taking the medicine.

When Sister Xiangqing saw the brand new banknotes, her eyes lit up, she quickly snatched them away and moved away.

"I'll go get you some medicine right away."

Ji Qinglan watched coldly. In her previous life, Sister Xiangqing took advantage of her illness to cheat her out of a lot of money, and as a result, her illness became more and more serious.

Soon, Xiangqing's sister-in-law came running back, holding two pills of unknown color in her hands, panting and saying, "Blind Chen won't give me medicine. I bought these with great difficulty, and I still owe him 20 cents."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll give you the money right away." Ji Qinglan took the medicine and turned over the pillow to reveal his wallet. A stack of banknotes appeared in front of Sister Xiangqing.

Sister Xiangqing stared with greed in her eyes, her hands shaking uncontrollably, wishing she could snatch it away right now.

She already regretted that she had reported too little. Two dimes was not enough. It should have been two dollars. Ji Qinglan still had so much money. Who knew who would benefit from it in the future.

Ji Qinglan seemed to be trying not to find a dime note on purpose. He counted out several cents and gave them to Sister Xiangqing. Then he put his wallet into the pillow in front of her. He then took out four five-cent notes and counted them three times in his hand as if to confirm, and handed them to Sister Xiangqing who was waiting anxiously.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. Please keep these two cents."

"Ugh!"

Ji Qinglan pretended that he had no water to take the medicine and asked Sister Xiangqing to boil some water. When Sister Xiangqing reluctantly brought back a bowl of water, Ji Qinglan lay on the bed in a daze again. He just said that he swallowed the pills because he was really uncomfortable and now he felt very sleepy.

Naturally, I didn’t have dinner again.

Sister Xiangqing took a look at Ji Qinglan's pillow and left reluctantly.

As we enter winter, the weather gets colder and colder. Fine snow falls from the sky. The north wind carries the snow particles straight into our necks, and the water stains outside can freeze into ice.

At night, the people from the Honghe Brigade also packed up early and lay down on the warm kang.

Two dark shadows held their hands together, shrunk their necks, crept into Ji Qinglan's house, and stopped by the window.

One of them took a knife and pried open the window gently, half of his body leaning inside. The other figure looked around and saw his companion holding something out. He was delighted and whispered, "Got it, hurry up."

"He's so sick that he's almost dying. How could he not get better?" It was the voice of Xiangqing's sister-in-law. The person next to her was none other than the captain's second son, Xiang Qiang.

The two of them walked back carrying the packages.

Along the way, Sister Xiangqing was still thinking about the wallet under Ji Qinglan's pillow and how to take it out without anyone noticing.

She must have it all to herself.

As soon as they got onto the main road, the two of them were so muddy that they couldn't take care of the packages in their arms. They had to pay attention to their steps, otherwise they would really fall into the mud.

A beam of light suddenly shot over, scaring the two of them so much that they trembled, and the package in Sister Xiangqing's arms fell straight to the ground.

"Who's in front?"

The two men didn't care about the packages on the ground because several beams of light shone directly on their faces.

A team of five people quickly approached. The leader saw that there were two people, looked at the bag on the ground, and asked with a vigilant look: "Xiang Qiang, Sister Xiangqing, why are you here? In the middle of the night..."

In the dead of night, a man and a woman alone?

"What are you talking about? We just happened to meet." Sister Xiangqing explained quickly. She couldn't bear the blame.

"Yes! I came back from gambling and my sister-in-law happened to come out, so I met her." Xiang Qiang also explained.

The leader glanced at Xiang Xiangqing's house not far away, then glanced at the two people standing next to each other. He didn't quite believe Xiang Qiang's explanation.

"What is Sister Xiangqing doing out at this late hour?"

"I can't come out to check the vegetables in the field!" Xiangqing's wife said angrily. She was very nervous and afraid that they would discover the new vegetables on the ground.

In fact, it had already been discovered. The leader was about to pick up the bag on the ground but was pulled back by Xiang Qiang again.

Xiang Qiang hurriedly pulled the man aside and said, "Fifth Brother, why are you here? It's so cold in the middle of the night."

The fifth brother was Zhang Jianguo, the captain of the village militia. He explained, "Someone has been stealing food in the village recently. The secretary asked us to patrol at night. If there is nothing else, you should go back quickly!"

Zhang Jianguo was being pulled by Xiang Qiang and didn't know what to say, so he planned to let them leave.

"Fifth brother, there is a bag on the ground." A younger brother behind him shouted, and then the light of the flashlight fell on the package.

Suddenly, the tightly wrapped cloth bag was exposed to everyone.

Xiang Qiang panicked and wanted to pick it up, but someone stopped him.

"Stand still, I'm going to shoot." The militia behind Zhang Jianguo was already pointing his gun at Xiang Qiang.

Xiang Qiang really didn't dare to move. Although these militiamen were from the village, they listened to Secretary Zhang more than his father.

Zhang Jianguo took a look and had to step forward and pick up the bag.

Both Xiang Qiang and Xiang's wife were so nervous that their hearts were in their throats.

"It's none of my business! It was Xiang Qiang who wanted to do it." Xiangqing's sister-in-law waved her hands frantically and retreated towards the house step by step, but was stopped by a militiaman.

Xiang Qiang looked ashen...

He wanted to kick this stupid woman to death.

The bundle was unwrapped in front of the two men, revealing several pieces of clothing inside, not belonging to a child.

Xiang Qiang's heart fell, and then was pulled up again.

Zhang Jianguo took out a wallet from his clothes, which was full of money and bills, as well as a gold ring and a pair of gold earrings.

"This is Ji Qinglan's wallet, you are thieves." Zhang Jianguo shouted, and then rushed forward with four militiamen.

During the years that Ji Qinglan has been in the Honghe Brigade, many people have seen her using this embroidered wallet.

The silk purse embroidered with a magpie on a plum tree gave all the young girls and wives in the village pink eye.

This is the only silk material in the village.

Early in the morning, Ji Qinglan carried Xin Cheng and followed Zhang Jianguo's wife to the village committee office. The north wind blew directly on their faces, making their cheeks numb. The cold wind penetrated their body so hard that she had to raise her scarf to cover most of her head and hold Xin Cheng tighter.

"Sister Qinglan, let me hold the baby for you for a while!" Zhang Jianguo's wife Liu Yumei, a clerk in the Family Planning Office, said kindly.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I can still hold you." Ji Qinglan smiled and thanked Liu Yumei.

The two walked across the stone bridge. Ji Qinglan looked down at the frozen Hongshui River under the bridge. It was now winter and the river was frozen. She remembered that in her previous life, when she was frantically looking for Xin Cheng, the five-year-old granddaughter of Secretary Zhang fell into the Hongshui River and drowned.

He is also Liu Yumei's first child.

After crossing the stone bridge is the team’s drying yard, and the village committee office is also here.
