Chapter 5: Going to the Countryside

After putting away his meal, Chen You watched the sky begin to darken. He estimated that the whole family would be back, so he returned to his room, sat on a stool with two books stacked on top of each other, and began to simulate in his mind:

First of all, they have to wait for them to finish their meal and wash the dishes. The two adults go out to chat, the eldest sister goes out to meet her colleagues, and the younger sister goes out with the second sister. Chen You can take this opportunity to go to the scrap station to borrow a flatbed cart from Uncle Li.

Before, the original owner always went to Uncle Li to buy second-hand books. They had a good relationship. It was just borrowing a car, so giving him two cents was enough.

Finally, I pushed the flatbed cart to the agreed abandoned warehouse in advance, put the grain on it, pushed the cart to make a few ruts, and then found something to sweep away the ruts. This way it looked very realistic.

After everything is done, hide the car there, put away the grain, and come back home before going to bed. Get up early tomorrow, two hours in advance, and go there to wait for Liu Xiaojuan to come to pick up the goods.

Wait and wait ~ wait and wait ~ finally - "Come and wash the dishes," Sun Xia gave an order, and Chen You immediately stood up and walked out of the room. As expected, everyone had left, leaving only a table full of bowls and pots.

Chen You sighed, and following his muscle memory, he quickly cleaned up the dishes. He rinsed them with water first, then wiped them with a cloth, and finally rinsed them with water again. That was enough.

Not to mention that there was no detergent or soap beans, even if there were, Chen You felt that they would be useless as there was not even a drop of oil or water in them.

But! Soon, there was a rule in this family that they would have a good meal once a week, which was three stir-fried dishes, eat dry rice once, and make vegetarian buns once a month.

But usually on such days, Chen You would feel relaxed, because the food for that day was too expensive and she was not qualified to cook it. Sun Xia had to do it herself and no one else could touch it.

This was considered pretty good in that day and age, at least there was food to eat every day. If there weren't three workers in the family, we really couldn't afford it.

According to the memories left by the original body, Chen You guessed that these two married couples saved money every month, or they saved it secretly separately. Sure enough, the fact that they did not have a child together meant that their hearts were not together.

By the time Chen You washed the dishes and swept the floor, it was almost time. A little later, Grandpa Li’s scrap station would have closed.

After rushing all the way, he finally arrived before Uncle Li closed the shop. After giving Uncle Li two cents, Chen You drove the car away.

Uncle Li took the money with his right hand, waved his left hand, and said, "Go and push it" without asking any other questions. All the excuses Chen You had thought of along the way were really in vain.

Chen You quickly hid the car as planned. It was already dark by then. He ran back home before the family came back and lay on the bed pretending to sleep.

After saying goodbye to his colleagues, Wu Niandi returned home. He saw that his cheap sister had gone to bed long ago after finishing her work. Thinking that he had a chance to get a permanent job soon, while the children brought by his stepmother would have to go to the countryside to suffer, he went to bed in a happy mood.

The door of the room was suddenly pushed open. It was Wu Zhaodi and Chen Ping who had also returned from outside. When they were about to come in, they heard the eldest sister Wu Niandi scolding, "Keep your voice down - can't you see I'm asleep? You have no eyesight."

After all, there was a natural restraint due to age. Although the two looked unhappy, they also slowed down their movements. Wu Zhaodi whispered, "Sister, is she asleep?"

Wu Niandi hummed impatiently.

When Chen Ping heard this, she quickly asked, "We all chose her to go to the countryside, why hasn't she signed up yet?"

At this time, Chen You, who was pretending to be asleep, pricked up his ears.

Wu Zhaodi said anxiously, "Of course she doesn't want to! No, we can't delay it any longer. Chen Ping, you are her biological sister. When your mother comes back, you go find her and tell her that Chen You has agreed to go to the countryside. Ask your mother to take the household registration booklet and go register her."

Chen Ping nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to mom."

Chen You! Don't blame me! The competition in this family is too fierce. It's too hard for us with the last name Chen. If you don't go to the countryside this time, I will have to go. Anyway, you can't get into that crappy university, so why don't you go to the countryside for me?

After returning from chatting with her family, Sun Xia heard from her eldest daughter that her younger daughter volunteered to go to the countryside. She didn't think much about it and prepared to take her household registration booklet to register for her early the next morning.

They are all money-losing people anyway, and it doesn't matter who goes to the countryside. Half of the resettlement fee must be left for her at home, otherwise it would be unfilial.
