Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

The bicycles sped along, and after about an hour, at about 1 p.m., Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui arrived in town. Yan Jiekuang stopped in front of the post office and said, "You go shopping first. I'm going to buy farm tools. We'll meet at the same place as yesterday in an hour."

"Okay!" Su Zihui responded, carrying the backpack and walking towards the post office. Yan Jiekuang glanced at Su Zihui's back and rode away on his bicycle.

Su Zihui walked into the post office, came to the parcel receiving and sending counter, and asked: "Comrade, is there a parcel for Su Zihui?!"

"Comrade, please wait a moment. I will check for you." After saying that, the post office staff opened the record book and began to look for Su Zihui's name.

After about three or four minutes, the post office staff found Su Zihui's name on the list and said, "Comrade, there is a package for Su Zihui."

Su Zihui took out his educated youth card and said, "Comrade, please help me get it."

"Okay!" The post office staff responded, walked to the bamboo basket at the back, rummaged around, found Su Zihui's package, walked to the counter, confirmed Su Zihui's identity, and handed the package to Su Zihui.

Su Zihui put the package into the backpack and left the post office.

At the same time, Yan Jiekuang rode his bicycle to the door of the blacksmith shop. Yan Jiekuang parked his bicycle, walked into the blacksmith shop, took out his certificate and his educated youth certificate, and said, "Comrade, I am here to buy farm tools."

The apprentice in the blacksmith shop took the certificate and the educated youth certificate from Yan Jiekuang, looked at them, then returned the educated youth certificate to Yan Jiekuang and asked, "Which farm tools do you want?!"

Yan Jiekuang glanced at the farm tools standing by the wall and said, "Two hoes, two sickles, an axe, and a shovel. Also, get two small spades."

The blacksmith's apprentice replied, "Nine dollars in total plus two industrial coupons. If you don't have industrial coupons, these things will cost fifteen dollars."

"Yes!" Yan Jiekuang took out a big unity and two industrial coupons from his pocket and handed them over. The apprentice took the money and tickets, checked them, took out the change and gave it to Yan Jiekuang. Then he tied the hoe and shovel together, and then tied the sickle, axe and shovel together and handed them to Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang put the sickle, shovel and axe in the bicycle basket, fixed the hoe and shovel behind the seat, and then rode the bicycle to the place where they met last time.

After Su Zihui left the post office, he went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative not far away. Although the supply and marketing cooperative in the town was not very big, it still had a complete range of goods. However, considering the tickets in his hand, Su Zihui could only buy fruit hard candies at one cent each, without tickets.

After buying the candy, Su Zihui bought two pairs of gloves and then left the supply and marketing cooperative.

More than ten minutes later, Su Zihui arrived at the meeting place and saw Yan Jiekuang already waiting there. Su Zihui smiled and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, “It didn’t take long.” Then he got on his bicycle and asked, “Have you got the package?!”

"Yes!" Su Zihui responded, sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and urged: "Go back quickly!"

"Then hold on tight!" After saying that, Yan Jiekuang pushed his feet hard and rode his bicycle onto the road.

When they arrived at the entrance of the educated youth center, Su Zihui got off the bike first. Yan Jiekuang pushed his bicycle into the gate of the educated youth center. At this time, everyone in the educated youth center and even the whole village knew that Yan Jiekuang had a bicycle. Yan Jiekuang pushed the bicycle into his room, then opened the damper of the stove, put a handful of firewood in it, and started the stove. Then Yan Jiekuang took the things off the bike, washed his hands, and started to cook dinner.

Although Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui both have big appetites, they still can't handle the large amount of steamed buns and dumplings Yan Jiekuang bought yesterday. Yan Jiekuang originally thought that these dumplings would be enough for him to eat for a few days. But he didn't expect that now there was an extra burden, so he would have to eat less for a few days.

Soon the lunch dishes were heated up. Yan Jiekuang called Su Zihui over. After Su Zihui came in, she took out a pair of gloves and handed them to Yan Jiekuang, saying, "Here! You'll need them when you go to work the day after tomorrow."

Yan Jiekuang took the gloves, looked at them and said, "You are quite attentive?! You even prepared this."

After Su Zihui sat down, he replied, "It was only today that I saw Jiang Zhiqing wearing it, and then I remembered that I went to the supply and marketing cooperative after picking up the package."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Then I'll take it first." Then he urged, "Let's eat!"

"Hey!" Su Zihui responded, took the bun that Yan Jiekuang handed to her, and started eating.

After dinner, Su Zihui washed the dishes and returned to her room. She walked to the dressing table, picked up the package on the dressing table, stared blankly for a while, and then opened the package. However, Su Zihui did not rush to see what was in the package, but took out the letter and read it first.

It turned out that Su Zihui's grandfather Ding Huawei was persecuted by villains and imprisoned with his wife. Ding Huawei and his wife were also tough. As soon as they were imprisoned, they announced that they would cut off ties with their children. The people in the Ding family are people who care about family affection. The Su family is similar. The Su family went through many twists and turns before finding out where Ding Huawei and his wife went. Then they informed Su Zihui's parents and Su Zihui's uncle's family. Su Zihui's uncle originally planned to let his youngest son change his job and come here to take care of the two old people.

Although Ding Huawei stepped down, there were still many people eyeing him. So Su Zihui's uncle's idea was directly rejected. After considering the young people of the Ding and Su families, only Su Zihui was suitable. In addition, some people had already started to eye the Su family. Su Zihui's going to the countryside became the best way to get rid of the current crisis.

However, Su Zihui was not originally here when he went to the countryside. Su Zihui's father's comrade-in-arms happened to be in charge of the assignment of educated youth to the countryside and helped a little. That's why Su Zihui came here.

In addition to her family's concern for her, the letter also contained some money and food coupons, asking Su Zihui to take care of Ding Huawei and his wife to the best of her ability while taking care of herself.

After reading the letter, Su Zihui stuffed it into the stove, and as the fire started, the letter turned into ashes. Then Su Zihui took out the things in the package. In addition to two packs of milk powder, there were some snacks that Su Zihui liked to eat. Su Zihui put these things into the kang cabinet, then washed up and went to sleep on the kang.

At the same time, Yan Jiekuang was lying on the kang, with nothing to do, so he opened the blind boxes in the container in the space. This time Yan Jiekuang's luck was not very good. He opened five containers in a row. Except for one container filled with flour, the others were all some household appliances. However, these household appliances could not be used for the time being. Yan Jiekuang found a tablet from the space. This tablet was used exclusively by his mother before Yan Jiekuang crossed over. His mother was a heavy earth repair enthusiast, and this tablet contained some little knowledge about farming.

Yan Jiekuang pressed the power button. He didn't expect that the tablet could still be powered on after such a long time. After a while, Yan Jiekuang entered the tablet desktop, found the farming videos, put on earplugs, and watched them carefully. It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Yan Jiekuang put away the tablet, covered himself with a quilt, recalled the key points of farming in the video, and fell asleep in a daze.
