The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Two towels, two bars of soap, two bars of soap, two pounds of sugar, a pair of rubber shoes, a set of autumn clothes, a set of cotton clothes, a pair of cotton shoes, and a piece of flowered cloth.

It seems that those Ganoderma lucidum are more valuable than I thought.

Baisha's mother was also a particular person and gave him a lot of extra things.

After looking at it, Qi Feifei packed up all the things again. She had to take them to the collective household when she got back.

He left the courtyard carrying an empty backpack.

There was still no one around.

Qi Feifei went around to the entrance of the alley behind the school.

Every door is closed, and you can’t knock on each one!

She wandered around.

After a while, a white-haired old lady came out from a yard, leaning on a wooden stick that had been polished to a smooth and shiny finish.

The old lady was also dressed very neatly, wearing a duck-egg-colored jacket with a large collar and blue pants. She also had bound feet.

"Girl, are you here to look for someone?"

Qi Feifei: "Someone in my family is in confinement after childbirth, and they asked me to come out to buy eggs. I want to ask if anyone nearby has some eggs. My family needs them urgently, do you know where to buy them, grandma?"

The old lady looked at her and said, "Why didn't you go to the farmer's market?"

Qi Feifei: "I live in the mountains. It was my first time in town, and when I arrived, the market was gone. There was no one there. I wanted to look in the residential area, just in case there was something there? My sister-in-law is still waiting to eat."

The old lady pouted and said, "Maybe the house next door might have one. Try knocking on the door."

Qi Feifei smiled happily: "Thank you, grandma."

The old lady turned around and went back to the yard.

Qi Feifei went to the next door and knocked on the door. A twenty-something-year-old daughter-in-law came out. "Who are you?"

Qi Feifei: "Hello, my sister-in-law is in confinement after childbirth, and my mother sent me out to buy eggs. I arrived too late, and the free market was closed. I wanted to see if any of my neighbors had eggs that I could share with them, as my family is waiting to use them."

Young wife: "Your family is like this, why don't you save eggs early during the confinement period?"

Qi Feifei: "My sister-in-law is in poor health, and all the eggs in the house were used to nourish her body, so we didn't save them. Now she gave birth early, so we are in a dilemma. If you have any, please help me. Thank you, sister."

The young wife looked her over and said, "Okay, come in. Let me make it clear, five cents a piece. I won't sell it for less."

Qi Feifei: "It's OK if you have it, no matter how much money it is. My sister-in-law is weak and can't breastfeed without eggs. Thank you so much, sister."

The young wife said, "I'm saving this for my relative. She's not that eager yet. Since you're in a hurry, I'll give it to you. How many do you want?"

"Try to do as much as possible, sister. It's not easy for us to get out of there."

The woman went to the warehouse and brought out a round basket. There were about forty or fifty eggs in the basket.

Qi Feifei's eyes lit up, "Sister, can you give me all of them?"

The young wife smiled and said, "You keep calling me sister. It's not easy for you to come all the way here. I'll give it all to you. I'll give her more later."

Qi Feifei put down the backpack and asked the woman to pick up the things into the basket. The woman was very considerate and even put some grass knots in the middle to prevent it from being damaged.

There are 52 eggs in total, costing two dollars and sixty cents.

Qi Feifei thanked him again and again before carrying the eggs out of the yard.

She was sure that this was a family of "speculators". There was not a single chicken in the yard, so how did she save so many eggs?

Remember the position silently. When you are familiar with it, you can trade directly.

Qi Feifei went to the purchasing station again, hoping to try his luck and see if he could find junior high and high school textbooks.

I wasn’t able to go to college in my previous life, and I hope I can fulfill this wish in this life.

At that time, I watched others taking the college entrance examination while I couldn’t go. Only I know how painful it was.

One can't live a good life only by going to college, but since she has the chance, she still wants to give it a try.

When I entered the recycling station, I saw a mess. There were wine bottles, cans, toothpaste tubes, broken tables, broken chairs, strangely shaped pieces of iron that had fallen from somewhere, broken rims, broken handlebars, piles of old newspapers and books, broken shoe soles, and old clothes with holes...

All the discarded items from every household and unit are gathered here.

Qi Feifei greeted the old man and said that he wanted to buy some newspapers to paste on the walls, so he went to look through the pile of papers.

He actually found the textbooks. Many of the books were covered in dirt, and had torn pages and curled edges. Qi Feifei compared them one by one and finally put together a complete set of textbooks.

After another round of the purchasing station, Qi Feifei picked out a few ceramic wine bottles. These were all bottles of famous liquors. When the lids were opened, there was a strong aroma of wine.

I also picked out a few clean glass bottles and kept them for use in buying soybean oil when I had oil coupons.

The old man saw that the girl was still wandering around and asked, "Girl, you got so much, can you take it back?"

Qi Feifei: "It's okay, I can find the intersection, someone will take me back."

The old man said nothing more and let her walk around.

Among a pile of broken furniture, I found a black wooden box with a drawer lid.

There were oil stains and grime all over it, and it was hard to tell what it originally looked like. Qi Feifei thought it would be a good idea to take it home, clean it, and use it to store her soap and other sundries.

I picked it up, and it was quite heavy. I didn't know if the lid was damp or dirty, but I couldn't pull it out.

But considering its weight, it should be a good wood, at least a hard miscellaneous wood, and it should be very good after being rubbed out. So I took it out.

The big boxes and cabinets could be repaired and used, but she couldn't take them back now. She could consider buying a box next time she came with the team's carriage. She didn't even have anything to put her things in.

There are so many things I need, I also have to buy eye cream, toothbrush, face cream, gala oil and so on.

Qi Feifei didn't delay any longer and carried these things to the door in a torn sack and a torn basket.

The old man checked and weighed them one by one.

"Newspapers and old books are twenty-one and a half pounds, six cents a pound, which is one dollar and twenty-nine cents.

Porcelain wine bottles, 35 cents each, here are six, that's 2 dollars each.

Glass wine bottles, 1 cent each, five of them cost 50 cents.

This wooden box, are you sure you want it? This might have been used by an old man..."

Qi Feifei: "Don't worry, I'll just go back and clean it up and put some small things in it."

Uncle: "Just don't feel disgusted. I'm just guessing. Wash it well and put it in the sun to get rid of the bad luck."

Qi Feifei: "Thank you, sir."

Uncle: "I'll charge you 10 cents for this wooden box. The total is 3.99 yuan."

Qi Feifei gave the money. The old man saw that she had a lot of things, so he gave her the torn sack with big holes and the broken basket with crooked beams.

Qi Feifei used newspaper to cover the big hole in the sack and stuffed the books and boxes into the sack.

Several bottles were put into a broken basket, and they were blocked with a hemp rope to prevent them from falling.

The old man nodded as he watched her work. "You are so young, but you are quite capable at work. Not bad."

Qi Feifei smiled shyly.

Carrying a basket of eggs on his back, a sack in one hand and a basket in the other, I have to say, it's really hard work.

All the uncles give me a thumbs up.

"Can you take this back?" The old man was a little worried.

Qi Feifei: "It's okay, go to the main road, there are cars to go back."

Qi Feifei said goodbye to the old man and walked towards the main road step by step.
