Chapter 42 The Spiritual Boy
Susie bought a dozen envelopes and ten stamps at the post office. Passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Susie went in and bought a kerosene stove, a kerosene lamp, and a few catties of kerosene.

Just when she was about to come out, she thought about it and bought two decks of poker.

There are no entertainment activities these days, so Ruan Zhonghua and the others can't just sit together and stare at each other.

When I came out, I heard Zhao Tingting say, "Hey, why is Qin Man crying there?"

Su Qian looked over and saw Qin Man standing on the side of the street staring blankly not far away, tears falling silently.

She followed Qin Man's line of sight, and saw Chen Changqing walking side by side with a girl. They were talking and laughing, but Chen Changqing's full attention was on the girl, and from time to time he opened his hands to block the passing by for the girl. Didn't seem to see them.

Susie was a little surprised, did Qin Man break up in love?

She has long noticed that there is a little ambiguity between Chen Changqing and Qin Man. Their body language is closer than others, and the safe distance between them is obviously smaller than others.

She has studied micro-expressions and body language in acting, and for her, she can see through them at a glance.

Tian Xiaohui also saw it, and she asked gossipingly, "Who is that girl next to Chen Changqing? It doesn't look like she's from our team."

Ruan Zhonghua took a look, "The daughter of Director Bai of the Commune Revolutionary Committee."

Wang Jihong muttered: "I heard that the two of them were talking about friends a long time ago, and it turned out to be true."

Ruan Zhonghua didn't like Chen Changqing very much. He had the tendency to fawn and study everywhere. Once he found out his father's identity by chance, he became very enthusiastic about him.

He doesn't like such people.

He turned his head, "Let's go."

Tian Xiaohui suddenly said: "Wait." Then she ran towards Qin Man.

Tian Xiaohui doesn't like Qin Man very much in her heart, and she doesn't know if the relationship between the new educated youth and the old educated youth didn't start well. He is also an educated youth of a team, so we still need to take care of him.

She walked to Qin Man's side, "What's the matter with you, are you okay?"

Qin Man closed her eyes and shook her head.

Tian Xiaohui continued to ask, "We're going back now, do you want to go with us?"

Qin Man shook his head again.

"Forget it, let's go back." Tian Xiaohui turned around and quickly caught up with Su Xi and the others in front.

When we arrived at the collective household, it was only eleven o'clock, and there was no one in the collective household, not even Zhu Zhicheng, who had always been stuck in the house and couldn't come out.

Susie took out everything in the basket, and put the Xuande furnace and a few books back into the room first.

Susie put the Xuande furnace directly into the drawer of the cabinet, and those few books were placed on the table casually.

When I came out, I saw Tian Xiaohui was opening the paper box containing the chicks, and the chickens inside were still alive and kicking, chirping.

Ruan Zhonghua asked, "Are you planning to raise chickens?"

Susie smiled, "Well, in order to get some eggs for nutrition." As she spoke, she lifted out the wild bird that was placed at the bottom of the basket.

Ruan Zhonghua opened his eyes wide, "Where did you get it?"

Zhao Tingting laughed, "You may not believe it, we picked it up."

She recounted the process of picking birds, Ruan Zhonghua and Wang Jihong looked at each other, "This is a good way, try it someday. We are planning to get some air guns and go to the mountains to collect something."

When Tian Xiaohui heard about the air gun, she became excited, "Can you get an air gun? When will you go, can you bring me one?"

Ruan Zhonghua glanced at Susie, "Lucky, I can still get a shotgun. When we get it, I'll ask you to go together."

Susie thought about it. At this time, it should not be banned yet. Since it is legal, it is good to go and have fun.

She smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Tian Xiaohui jumped up happily beside her. The rural life she imagined was exactly like this. If she had nothing to do, she would go to the mountains to hunt rabbits and pheasants, and pick some mushrooms and wild fruits.

After tidying things up, Su Qian asked the two of them to sit in the room, and Tian Xiaohui made tea for them.

Then Su Qian went into the kitchen to fetch water, and Zhao Tingting lit the fire.

Zhao Tingting asked Su Xi in a low voice, "How many dishes are you cooking for lunch?"

Susie originally planned to feed the hen for a few days before killing it for food, but it was different when the guests came.

"Eat the bird at noon, scramble an egg, and make a few side dishes. Don't let them go at night. Qiao Mu and the others should come back at night. Just kill the chicken and eat it."

She took a Shau Kei and went out, "I'll go to Aunt Lan's house to get vegetables."

Passing the door of the room, she heard Tian Xiaohui and Wang Jihong talking enthusiastically, but didn't hear Ruan Zhonghua's voice. She walked in and saw that Ruan Zhonghua was sitting at the table reading a book they had just bought.

Susie caught a glimpse of the title of the book, "The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", and she didn't know when she had sandwiched this book in it.

She smiled at Ruan Zhonghua, "Sit down for a while, I'll go to the fellow's house to pick some food."

The courtyard door of Aunt Lan's house was open, and Susie yelled as she walked in, "Is Aunt Lan at home? I'll pick some food."

A spirited guy with a crew cut came out of the room suddenly, staring at Susie up and down.

The young man sized it up for a while, then suddenly smiled at Susie, "What a beautiful girl!"

Seeing that the young man only had admiration in his eyes, Susie smiled and said, "What a spirited young man."

The spirited guy stared wide-eyed. It was common for him to molested girls. The girls he molested usually didn't speak, some pretended not to hear, some lowered their heads shyly, and some bold girls gave him a hard look.

Susie's reaction seemed to him the most interesting.

The spirited guy laughed, "The girl is not only beautiful, but also has a sweet mouth, my brother likes it—"

"You dead six son, what nonsense are you talking about, this is our family's distinguished guest, please don't offend me." Aunt Lan came out of the room and interrupted Liu son's words.

When the six sons heard Aunt Lan's words, they thought of something, and put away their playful smile.

Aunt Lan pulled Susie into the room, "Are you here to find your Uncle Liao? I just told him when he came back. He was going to look for you, and you just came."

Susie couldn't resist Aunt Lan's enthusiasm, she waved the shauke in her hand, "Auntie, I have guests at my place today, come and pick vegetables."

"I don't have time right now. I'll have a good chat with Uncle Liao after two days."

Aunt Lan was a little disappointed, but still enthusiastically said: "Picking vegetables, right? You and I will go to the backyard to pick them."

After picking the vegetables, Susie saw Uncle Liao sitting in the main room. Uncle Liao smiled at her, "Is there a visitor at home? I happened to bring some apples back, and you take them to entertain the guests."

The spirited boy Liuzi held a net bag of bright red apples and stretched them towards her with a smile.
