The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

When we returned to the collective household, it was already completely dark.

Zhu Li was still waiting for her outside the yard, walking back and forth, fanning away mosquitoes with a palm-leaf fan.

Qi Feifei: "There are so many mosquitoes, you are not afraid of being bitten, it would be nice to chat with them in the house."

Julie: "It's cool outside."

Qi Feifei knew that Zhu Li was worried about her. Seeing that she had not returned by the time it was dark, she could not sit still and came out to wait for her.

He quietly put three candies into her hands.

Zhu Li leaned over to her ear and asked in surprise, "Where did you get these things? Did you go to the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Qi Feifei also whispered: "Just eat it if I give it to you, don't tell anyone else."

Zhu Li: "You can save it for when you are hungry. I am at home every day and I can eat enough."

Qi Feifei: "I still have some, I ate it myself. Don't tell anyone else, I don't have that much to share with everyone."

Zhu Li patted her lightly and said, "Look at what you said. I won't tell you."

When Qi Feifei and the other person entered the room, Baisha was chatting enthusiastically with everyone.

She talked about how miserable the journey was, how hot and smelly the carriage was, and how the car was shaking, and she felt like vomiting.

He said the bus was so crowded that he almost couldn’t get on.

How clever she was. She looked for a bus to a nearby village at the bus station and took the bus back.

……

The vivid descriptions made everyone nervous.

When Baisha saw Qi Feifei coming back, he quickly gave her a piece of caozi cake.

"You're welcome. Everyone has one. This piece is reserved for you."

Qi Feifei didn't refuse, she took it and ate it.

Sweet, fragrant and soft.

"Thank you."

Baisha: "Why thank you? I ate a lot of the mountain products and fruits you picked."

Liu Yumei: "Baisha, we gave all the money for mushrooms to Zhu Li, and the only money left is yours."

Baisha: "Is that so? Okay, Julie, I'll give it to you now."

Zhu Li: "Wang Bin helped you with the pad, you give it to him."

Baisha: "Okay, let me rest for a day, and then we can go to the supply and marketing cooperative together the day after tomorrow, okay?"

Liu Yumei: "You just came back from home, what are you doing at the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Baisha: "I'll go and help take a look. That piece of cloth looks good. Is that not okay?"

Liu Yumei: "Okay, of course. You can go every day if you don't mind. But if you leave, who will cook?"

Baisha: "You, none of them can cook. Besides, if you go to the supply and marketing cooperative and have breakfast, you can leave right away and come back in time to cook dinner."

Liu Yumei didn't argue with Baisha, "Okay then, if you can't make it back in time, I'll cook."

A few people chatted and laughed for a while.

Before going to bed, everyone washed up. When Qi Feifei went out to pour water, Baisha followed him out.

I whispered to her what her mother had sent to Qi Feifei, and it would arrive in a few days, and then I would accompany Qi Feifei to pick it up.

Qi Feifei said that she could just go and get it herself, as it would be tiring to go back and forth in a carriage.

Baisha didn't insist on going. It was indeed hard work. The things were left in the car, so it didn't make much difference whether she went or not.

I said that next time I had something good, I would tell her first, and she would want more. I would also pick some mushrooms and leave some for her, and she would dry them and send them back home.

Qi Feifei agreed to her.

The next day, I got up early, practiced martial arts, and had tomatoes and biscuits for breakfast. After leaving the courtyard, I went straight to the mountain onions I saw yesterday.

A large area of ​​green has begun to bloom, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Qi Feifei took out a shovel and dug hard.

The soil on the mountain is filled with roots and dead branches of various plants. It is not easy to dig and I was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

It took more than three hours of work to dig out most of the weeds. Qi Feifei left some sparsely so that they could reproduce again in the future.

She had piled up the front yard of the courtyard like a farmhouse, and she felt a little ashamed.

I don’t know when I can give her a piece of mountain for her to farm.

She sat on the grass to rest, the deer was eating grass leisurely, and Doubao was lying beside her legs.

She drank spring water and ate biscuits.

I was wondering what this "fairyland" was all about.

When the fawn came in, they gave her a grassland because there was no suitable place to raise it in the courtyard? Then there was no place to grow the mushrooms and wild onions she dug? Under what circumstances could they give her a piece of mountain?

She has been running in the mountains all her life, and mountains are the place she is closest to and most comfortable with.

She really hopes that if she returns to the city in the future, she can still walk around the mountains in the "Siheyuan".

After leaving the courtyard, she went straight to cut four baskets of pig food, also cutting out tomorrow's share.

It was already noon when they arrived at the pig farm. Uncle Zheng was taking a nap and Lao Qin weighed out pig food for her.

Qi Feifei handed over a basket of pig food and gave Lao Qin six pieces of candy, asking him to give them to Uncle Zheng, saying that they were to sweeten Uncle Zheng's mouth.

Lao Qin couldn't refuse on behalf of others, so he accepted it on behalf of Uncle Zheng.

Qi Feifei came out and walked to a deserted place, then entered the courtyard again.

She had been digging wild onions for the whole morning and was tired, so she prepared to take a nap.

I fell asleep and dreamed of the figure practicing martial arts again.

She practiced the same set of boxing techniques over and over again, and her movements seemed to be getting slower and slower, like slow motion. Qi Feifei could clearly see the changes in every move.

It seemed that she had also started practicing. After an unknown amount of time, when she woke up, she was sweating all over and felt weak.

She had no choice but to get up and go to the bathroom to soak in the hot spring.

After soaking for about half an hour and regaining her strength, she left the courtyard.

I went to the pig farm to deliver the second basket of pig food.

Uncle Zheng had woken up. He thanked Qi Feifei for the candy and gave her a waist basket.

It was a basket woven by Uncle Zheng himself last year. It was made of rattan twigs. It was lighter and more durable than the one Qi Feifei woven with willow twigs.

It is not as big as Qi Feifei’s previous one, but it is not small either. It is very suitable for picking mushrooms and vegetables.

Qi Feifei did not refuse. People should interact with each other in order to get along better.

In the afternoon, Qi Feifei went to the mountain to pick mushrooms.

Through yesterday’s visit to the machinery factory, we confirmed that the profits from mushroom picking are still good.

She also wanted to dig more mushroom mycelium and bring it into the courtyard, hoping to meet the requirements of opening up the forest in the courtyard.

This time, no matter what kind of mushrooms she saw, she would use a shovel to dig up the soil around them.

I didn't find any large mushrooms in the afternoon, but I was very busy and dug up a lot of mycelium.

There are mushrooms, egg mushrooms, hazel mushrooms, boletus mushrooms, chicken leg mushrooms...

The front yard was becoming increasingly crowded.

When I practiced martial arts again in the evening, I found that I could practice it smoothly.

I didn’t expect that sleeping could bring me something new. This “fairyland” is so magical.

The next day, Qi Feifei did not get up early because he had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Pan Xiaowen was very surprised to see Qi Feifei. He hadn't seen her for many days.

When he learned that they were going to the supply and marketing cooperative today, he wanted to go with them and asked them to help carry back whatever they wanted.

Then, Wang Bin and Ji Hongbing found out about it and said they wanted to go together to buy some salt, thread, rubber shoes and so on.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, so I plan to take apart the quilt and wash it while I have nothing to do.

Prepare the salt for pickling vegetables in autumn.

Li Danni saw the male educated youth also going, and she said that she remembered that she also wanted to buy something, so she followed them.

As a result, the three-person team became a seven-person team.
