The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

If you want to go faster, you have to take a shortcut. She held a wooden stick and beat the grass on the side of the road as she walked. She never stopped.

On the way, I found a large patch of wild onions not far from the path. People who run in the mountains are like this. They can't move their feet when they see mountain products.

I really wanted to turn there, my body and mind were heading that way, but in the end reason prevailed and I hardened my heart and left. It won't be too late to come back tomorrow.

Two hours later, Qi Feifei appeared in the living area of ​​the machinery factory carrying a basket of cocklecomb mushrooms.

There are Xinhua Bookstore, cinema, grain store, guesthouse, restaurant, bus station, supply and marketing cooperative, vegetable market, department store, staff dormitory, barber shop, scrap collection station, staff hospital and family quarters here.

Qi Feifei went directly to the Victory Hotel. There were many customers in the hotel, so she went directly to the sales window.

The salesperson inside spoke in a loud voice, "Comrade, what do you want to buy?" His attitude wasn't very nice, but not very bad either.

Qi Feifei whispered, "Comrade, I just picked some cockscomb mushrooms, they are very good, will your restaurant accept them? I have cleaned them up."

When the salesperson heard that there were mushrooms, he immediately became enthusiastic and said, "Come around to the back."

I shouted inside, "Sister Wang, Sister Wang, please come out for a moment."

Qi Feifei walked towards the kitchen and saw a plump sister-in-law.

The salesperson gestured to Sister Wang and asked her to look at the mushrooms.

Sister Wang led Qi Feifei into the kitchen, looked at the mushrooms, and gave a price directly.

"One cent and one pound. If you want to sell it, weigh it."

Qi Feifei didn't bargain and agreed directly.

A full backpack, weighing more than 30 pounds, was sold for three dollars and fifty-two cents.

Qi Feifei asked if she wanted other mushrooms or fungus. Sister Wang said she wanted all, and the specific price depended on the quality.

Mushrooms were delivered frequently, and Sister Wang was very happy. She asked her to come directly to the kitchen to find her in the future, and also told her how to go to the back door.

There are many people in the factory and the restaurant business is very good. There is no room left in the basket of mushrooms. If employees, relatives, and friends knew that there were mushrooms, they would definitely want some, so Sister Wang could do them a favor.

Sister Wang said generously, I’ll take as many as you can.

With these words, Qi Feifei felt relieved and promised to send mushrooms when they were available.

In my previous life, I followed Aunt Liu and dried mushrooms and sold them to the brigade supply and marketing cooperative. It was not so cost-effective, and of course I didn't pick so many mushrooms.

With money in his pocket, Qi Feifei was in a good mood.

I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a pack of noodle starters, a pound of soy sauce, and a pound of vinegar, spending a total of 31 cents. I also bought 11 pieces of fruit candy. I had 3.1 cents left.

She also needed oil, salt, rice, flour, cloth, clothes, cotton...all these things required tickets, but she didn't have any.

She walked towards the mountain, and when there was no one around, she entered the courtyard and put all the seasonings in the kitchen.

He carried another basket of hazel mushrooms and went to the vicinity of the staff quarters.

There were many old men and women outside, holding large palm-leaf fans, strolling around, or gathering in groups of three or five, chatting or playing chess.

An old lady saw her carrying a backpack from afar and came over to her.

"Girl, who are you looking for?" The aunt knew who was in each household and knew who was in the house. She knew Qi Feifei was an outsider. She was obviously carrying mountain products.

Qi Feifei: "Auntie, I just picked some hazel mushrooms and wanted to see if anyone needs them. I want to exchange them for some money."

"I know him. I'll take you there."

As the old lady spoke, she grabbed her and led her into a nearby alley.

Qi Feifei was startled and was about to resist when she saw the old lady winking at her.

Oh! So you want to carry someone on your back.

Qi Feifei followed her into a yard.

"Girl, let me see how your mushrooms are."

Qi Feifei put down the backpack.

"I picked them all, only the small mushroom heads. I didn't even pick up the big ones."

The old lady turned it over carefully and found it was really clean and good.

"How much do you want to sell it for, girl?"

Qi Feifei had never sold fresh mushrooms at this time in her previous life, so she didn't know the market price.

"It's up to you, Auntie. Your price is right. I won't look for anyone else next time."

The old lady thought for a moment and said, "One pound of mushrooms costs three taels of food coupons. I have three pounds of food coupons, and I'll give you the rest at 1.5 cents per pound. What do you think?"

Qi Feifei agreed readily.

The old lady had a scale at home, so she weighed it and it was a little over 30 kilograms, so she counted it as 30 kilograms.

Qi Feifei got three kilograms of food coupons and three dollars.

The old lady's surname was Cao. The two of them agreed that when he came back, he would go directly to see Aunt Cao and say that he was a distant relative of hers.

Aunt Cao repeatedly said that she knew the area very well and asked people to bring any edible food.

As Qi Feifei came out of Aunt Cao's house, he met a man head-on.

The man was about 1.87 meters tall, a head taller than Qi Feifei, with a tight body, and it was obvious that he was someone who exercised regularly.

When he looked up, he met a pair of eyes as deep as a cold pond. Qi Feifei was shocked.

This man has sharp eyes, and seems to be able to see through people.

She avoided his sight and walked out as if nothing had happened.

The man stopped for two seconds, looked at her back, then looked at Aunt Cao's house, and continued walking into the alley.

Just as Qi Feifei reached the entrance of the alley, another person turned in hurriedly. If Qi Feifei hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been hit.

Looking closely, it was Comrade Jiang who was wearing a plaid skirt that I saw a few days ago.

He was holding a lunch box in his hand, and because he was in a hurry, his face was red and there were tiny beads of sweat.

But his expression was not good, and he glared at Qi Feifei in reproach.

Huh, instead of apologizing, you're glaring at me?

Qi Feifei wanted to argue with her, but thinking of the sharp look behind her, she endured it.

Looking back, I saw Comrade Jiang chasing after "Sharp Eyes" and shouting, "Brother Huo, Brother Huo, wait for me." His voice was not very loud, but with a hint of sweetness and shyness.

Oh! No wonder you are in such a hurry.

Qi Feifei went to the restaurant again. She planned to buy some big meat buns, but the restaurant was closed in the afternoon.

She went to the supply and marketing cooperative again, but the caozi cake, luguo and mahuatou were all sold out. They all required cake tickets, so she couldn't buy them.

There were also some ordinary biscuits, one cent a pound, and I used three or two grain coupons to buy a pound of biscuits.

Seeing that the cloth-selling area was noisy and crowded, I asked the salesperson what was going on over there.

The saleswoman was not reluctant to gossip and told her that a batch of dyed cloth had arrived over there and no tickets were required, so many people were rushing to buy it.

Qi Feifei's eyes immediately lit up and he rushed over.

The saleswoman behind me said leisurely: "You couldn't get it in the past."

My elder sister really said it.

By the time she squeezed in with the big backpack on her back, it had already been torn off!

How come it’s so fast!

She was very disappointed, but also had a little hope. If she didn't want the ticket this time, would there be a next time?

Rolling her eyes, she had to think of a solution.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, they hurried to the pig farm, and after handing over the pig feed, they hurried back to the collective household.

On the way, I didn't forget to go to the courtyard to practice martial arts. No matter whether it was right or not, I just practiced first, at least I could get stronger and stronger.

After training, I took a hot spring bath, cooked, ate, and went to the meadow to see the deer as usual.

The deer's leg has completely healed. It has become good friends with Doubao. The two little animals are running around on the grass, having a lot of fun.

I went to the creek again to take a look. I could see all kinds of fish, shrimps, and crayfish at the bottom of the river. I didn't see any dead fish or anything, so they must have all survived.

This also made Qi Feifei breathe a sigh of relief. This was a great thing. From now on, no matter where he went, he would have fish to eat all year round.
