Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 303 To go home or not to go home?
After Zhao Hongbing was sent away, the door of the educated youth spot was closed again, and all the educated youth sat around the table, discussing things.

Song Shuhan asked: "What are your plans? Are you going back? When are you going to buy tickets?"

"Back." Mo Bei nodded calmly, and then lowered his eyes to read calmly after speaking.

Li Lingyuan hesitated and scratched his head, "I, I'm not in a hurry, let's take a look first! Anyway, there is still half a month left."

Song Shuhan nodded, and glanced at the female educated youth at the table, "I, like Mo Bei, plan to go back, how about you?"

Si Ningning nodded calmly, expressing her thoughts.

Song Xiaoyun looked at this, then at that, and finally said hesitantly: "I, let me take a look first too!"

Xu Shuhua was more straightforward, and said with a seemingly optimistic smile: "I won't go back for now, um... I'll come back next time."

Song Shuhan's eyes turned to Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue's face was not very good-looking, and she was silent for a while before whispering: "I won't answer either."

Even if the speed of the train is slow at this time, it takes more than 20 hours to travel from south to north and the next trip, and the ten-day vacation includes the journey, which is enough to stay at home for a few days.

Si Ningning knew that the people in front of them who said they couldn't go home didn't want to go home, but because they were short of money and couldn't afford the tickets.

And Jiang Yue was different from those who came who couldn't afford the money.

She is homeless.

The reason why I was so happy just now is because I found out from the incident of visiting relatives that there is hope for returning to the city in the future...

Si Ningning sighed softly in her heart, noticing Jiang Yue's changing expression, she reached out from under the table and patted the back of Jiang Yue's hand comfortingly.

Jiang Yue tilted her head at her inaudibly, shook her head, and pulled her mouth into a not-so-good-looking smile.

Mo Bei is not a nosy person, but Song Shuhan is also a smart person with a clear mind. He probably guessed the reason why the partners present chose not to go home, so Song Shuhan did not continue to expand on this topic.

Song Shuhan took off his glasses and wiped them with the corner of his clothes. When he put them back on, he had already stood up from the table, "There is not much firewood for the stove, I'll go and chop some."

Xu Shuhua pursed her lips twice, and after calming down the loss in her heart that she couldn't go home, she stood up and smiled again, "I'll go to the warehouse to register to pick up the straw, is there anyone to rub the straw rope with me? I'm still idle, why don't I get more work points? , have a full stomach in the coming year!"

"I go."

Jiang Yue, Li Lingyuan and Song Xiaoyun stood up together.

"I'll go as well."

In just an instant, the number of people in the main room was reduced by half.

"Ugh……"

Si Ningning sighed, his lips pursed slightly in frustration, and he felt sorry for those around him who couldn't go home.

While feeling melancholy, Mo Bei tapped his fingers on the table across the table to attract her attention.

"What's wrong?" Si Ningning asked.

Mo Bei shook his head lightly, and asked instead of answering: "When are you going to buy tickets? I have a military household registration and can help buy tickets for the sleeper workshop. If you need them, I can buy them together."

Si Ningning really didn't think about when to buy the ticket, but he thought that the original body had taken a train for 28 hours before coming here from Beijing, and the journey time from here to Beijing should be about the same.

After sitting hard for 28 hours, Si Ningning really didn't think he would be able to persist. If he could buy a ticket for the sleeper car in Tuomobei, the journey would save a lot of suffering.

Thinking about it, Si Ningning said, "I don't know either, why don't you go and have a look? I don't know if the tickets are always available?"

After finishing speaking, he asked Mo Bei, "When did you buy it? If you have a ticket and make it in time, then we can go together."

She and Mo Bei are both from the capital city, so they will take the same route together, and they can take care of them when necessary.

Mo Bei didn't even think about buying tickets for which day, so he thought about it and said, "Then go to the county and see, and buy whichever day you can buy?"

"Row."

On that day, Zhao Hongbing not only talked about the educated youth returning to the city to visit relatives, but also called the members of the commune to announce the time to kill pigs and distribute food, which was the 24th day of the new year.

Pigs are slaughtered in the morning and food is distributed in the afternoon.

Si Ningning thought about it privately. Excluding the rations she received in the past six months, she had only saved some work points in the past two months. About [-] work points.

I don't know what is the ratio of work points and food in the team, how much can she get?

Si Ningning exhaled slightly, feeling that he could look forward to it.

With a shred of hope in mind, before going to bed at night, Si Ningning politely greeted Jiang Yue and the others, and revealed the news that he was going to town tomorrow.

Xu Shuhua and the others had no objections, but Jiang Yue got up from the bed and rummaged through the boxes beside the bed, "Then you can send me a package on the way! Just send this!"

Jiang Yue handed Si Ningning an oiled paper package. The package wasn't too big, but it was wrapped tightly.

Si Ningning squeezed and felt a soft piece, she immediately realized what was inside

It was her crooked glove...

"Send it to your brother?" Si Ningning looked up at Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue smiled foolishly, nodded frankly, "Oh!"

Si Ningning sighed slightly in his heart, and put the package into the basket on the back of the door, "Write me a copy of the address and name."

"it is good!"

Before preparing lessons, Jiang Yue bought a few notebooks from Si Ningning, and now there are two brand new ones. Si Ningning asked for the address. Jiang Yue did not hesitate at all, took out the notebook, tore off half a page and wrote the address on the table. He handed it to Si Ningning neatly.

Jiang Yue looked at Si Ningning with an obedient and flattering face.

Si Ningning rolled her eyes with a strange smile, put away the note and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go to sleep!"

While talking, Si Ningning was about to blow out the kerosene lamp, when Xu Shuhua suddenly said, "Oh, wait, Ningning!"

"Huh?" Si Ningning turned his gaze away, and saw Xu Shuhua sitting on the edge of the stove, making shoes with the help of the kerosene lamp on the small table.

"Two more needles and it's over, you'll blow it later!"

"it is good."

Si Ningning was not in a hurry to blow on the lamp, and bent over to make the bed busy for a while.

Not long after, Xu Shuhua bit off the thread on the edge of the sole, handed the shoe to Si Ningning and said, "Come on, try it on!"

"En." Si Ningning nodded, "En", and sat on the bed to try on the shoes.

The soles of the shoes were thin layers of rags, Si Ningning put them on and pressed down from the instep.

The size is very suitable, and the upper is also very thick.

Seeing her movements, Xu Shuhua took the initiative to explain: "When I was making the upper, I saw that there were some extra rags, so I put them together and nailed them together with the upper from the inside."

She stroked Si Ningning's instep with her finger, and Si Ningning took a closer look, and sure enough, she saw that the thread on the shoe was running fast.

The wiring is not dense, and the shoes are not delicate, but they are easy to wear.

Si Ningning got out of bed and tried to walk a few steps, "Thank you, Shuhua, it fits well!"

"A while ago you just gave me the rags and it was in time for the busy farming season. Otherwise, you would have given it to you long ago. You have to rest for the past two days, or you won't be able to wear them this winter." Xu Shuhua smiled and waved her hands, "Usually You helped me so much, and I can't return from other places like Mo Bei and Song Shuhan, so I can only do what I can."

Si Ningning sat on the edge of the bed with eyes bent, took off his shoes and said with a smile: "Damn, we live under the same roof, isn't it just to help each other and support each other? You, don't think so much."

"Hehe, yes." Xu Shuhua rubbed her hands stiffly and laughed,
Si Ningning put the shoes on the bottom of the bed, and when he got up, he said, "But Shuhua, I still have some rags. If you have time, can you make another pair for me? I'll pay you for the labor."

Xu Shuhua took the initiative to make these shoes for Si Ningning not long ago in autumn. Although it took a long time, it was because Xu Shuhua was busy and Xu Shuhua couldn't find time.

Si Ningning can understand.

And when she was giving Xu Shuhua rags, she already had an idea in her heart, which is what she was talking about now.

The first pair counted as Xu Shuhua repaying her usual patronage. Xu Shuhua wanted to make her for free, and she accepted.

But for the second pair, if Xu Shuhua is still willing to help her do it, she will give corresponding rewards.

Firstly, I really want to wear replacement shoes, and secondly, it is another kind of help for Xu Shuhua's life...

It's a way to get the best of both worlds.

Xu Shuhua's eyes shook, obviously her heart was moved, but she felt that it was unreasonable to charge money for this kind of thing living under the same roof, so she hesitated and did not speak.

Si Ningning took the initiative and said, "Don't feel embarrassed. Before, Jiang Yue and I helped male educated youths make clothes and collected things. Look at you, do you want money or rations? If I If you are rich, I can give you a little bit of it.”

When Si Ningning said that, Xu Shuhua didn't feel any embarrassment anymore, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Forget about rations, we don't have enough to eat... Can I ask for money? There are few things recently, except rubbing grass There is nothing else to do with the rope, and I can make shoes quickly... well, I don’t need a lot, just two cents.”

"Two cents won't do."

Xu Shuhua was slightly taken aback, hesitated for a while, and hurriedly added: "That, that penny is fine!"

"I don't think two cents are too much." Si Ningning shook his head slightly and sighed, "I'll give you a dime."

"Do not……"

Xu Shuhua immediately shook her head, it was just a shoe, how could it cost a dime?

You can buy as much cloth as a dime! ! ?
"Don't refuse in a hurry, I also have a request." Si Ningning pressed down Xu Shuhua's hand, squatted down and lifted the shoes that were placed on the bottom of the bed just now, and gestured with his fingers on the upper, "These feet are too rough, I'm afraid Skidding in rainy days will break the thread, if you decide to help me, the ground will be denser."

It was true that Si Ningning wanted to help Xu Shuhua, but it was definitely not the kind of help a philanthropist would do.

Xu Shuhua said that it would not take long to make a pair of shoes, but in fact it still took a lot of time and energy. Staying up late to do it under the lamp hurts the eyes even more.

What is two cents enough for?Can't even buy an egg.

If Xu Shuhua insisted on twisting it for only two cents, Si Ningning would rather not let her do it.

It would be a real shame if she was allowed to do it.

Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun looked at both sides of her, their eyes were a little puzzled, and they probably didn't expect that there would be employers who would say higher wages, and workers would lower wages...

Xu Shuhua was very hesitant. To be precise, she felt a little uneasy about her conscience, but in the end she bowed down to reality.

"That's fine, but you have to give me these shoes first, and I'll give them to you two days later." She took away the new shoes that Si Ningning was holding, and added belatedly, "I'll give them to you again." Nail a loop!"

Xu Shuhua didn't make shoes out of haste. When she was learning, she only had this wide stitch. She also tried to nail that kind of dense stitch, but it was always easy to crooked in the middle, so she didn't do it again. Then it's over.

If Si Ningning wanted the kind with fine stitches, she might be able to do the stitches twice, first knitting the thicker stitches, and then staggering the stitches a little bit the second time and doing it again, it should be the same.

Si Ningning nodded and smiled, "Okay, then you can take it first, I'm going to the town tomorrow, I'm too lazy to look through it now, I'll find it for you when I come back tomorrow."

"Row!"

"Okay, go to sleep."

"Okay." Xu Shuhua nodded, and this time the smile on her face couldn't help being more sincere.

Si Ningning felt that it was actually easy to understand.

Don't look at being so busy every day, but in fact, it is difficult to properly solve even the food and clothing, let alone spare work points, and go back to the team to share the money.

Xu Shuhua basically has no source of income. Right now, she can earn a little income from making shoes for Si Ningning, which can alleviate the embarrassment in life, such as the "AA system" that is necessary for educated youths. So, can you be unhappy?
Ugh……

The original inhabitants of the world, some behaviors and ideas are still very simple.

Si Ningning blew out the kerosene lamp with a "huh", turned on the bed and closed the mosquito net tightly and said "good night".

The sound of the bed boards shaking came from all around in the darkness, and then there was a brief silence, but after a while, Song Xiaoyun's voice came from the innermost side of the room: "Ningning, what is the word 'good night'? What does it mean? I I've heard you say it several times."

"Uh..." Si Ningning was stuck for a moment, and after a while, she recovered her voice and said, "Good night, maybe it's a greeting to go to bed at night? On the one hand, tell the other party that I'm going to bed, On the other hand, maybe it also means to sleep peacefully and have good dreams?"

Si Ningning explained uncertainly.

Si Ningning really didn't think about the exact meaning of "good night". The meaning she explained was entirely her own understanding.

But Song Xiaoyun didn't care much at all. After Si Ningning finished speaking, Song Xiaoyun said good night several times:

"Ning Ning, good night!"

Si Ningning gave a soft "um", "Good night."

Song Xiaoyun's bed shook for a while, and said again: "Jiang Yue, good night! Shuhua, good night!"

"Good night, good night! Stop talking, go to bed!" Jiang Yue urged.

Xu Shuhua laughed lowly, and said "good night" casually, and then the room suddenly became quiet.

Just like what Si Ningning explained about the meaning of "good night", this night, the girls slept very peacefully and soundly...
