After going to the countryside, I can fish as much as I can

Chapter 12 Go to the post office to pick up the package

"This house is nice. There are four rooms in total. The kitchen and bathroom are all separate."

Anle directly opened every door. Although it was empty inside, the dust and other things were much better than the room he had cleaned before.
"We can live in one room each, and the remaining two rooms can be used as warehouses and utility rooms. The kitchen is quite big. Do we need to build a new stove? This one is too big!"

Zhang Youyou looked at the large circular pit with a diameter of more than one meter in the kitchen and said,

"It's really big! Just the two of us can't hold such a big pot. We have to ask the village chief and others for help."

"My package should arrive tomorrow. I'll go pick it up and bring back the pots and pans. They're all new and there's no need to buy them again."

"Then when we get the pots and pans back, let's build the stove according to the size of the pots!"

Anle looked at the two large dark stoves and said,
"How about we go get our things now, pack this up, and stay here tonight."

"That's okay, we have to do it anyway, why not do it all at once now."

Zhang Youyou nodded in agreement, Anle regretted a little,

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have had to move so quickly. Wouldn't this be like another round of trouble?"

"Okay, let's go! I'm back and have to clean up again!"

An Le had a look of despair on his face, and was pulled towards the educated youth spot by Zhang Youyou with a smile.
Everyone at this duty point has finished their work. Except for those who are more diligent and go to the mountains to find firewood, the others are at the educated youth point.
At this time, except for the cooks, everyone else was either washing clothes or lying on the bed to rest and wait for meals.

Zhou Jianjun was sweeping the yard with a big broom when he saw two new female educated youths coming back from outside. He stopped what he was doing and grinned.
"The two new educated youths are back. Dinner is just about to begin. During the meal, everyone is here so we can formally introduce them to each other."

"Okay! Thank you Zhou Zhiqing, but I just have something to tell you. It's like this. Because of my health, I need to live alone. Living in Zhiqing Point is really not very convenient.

I explained the situation to the village chief, and he agreed, so Anle and I rented a room in the village and moved out to live alone. "

"Ah! Oh, then it will be fine if the village chief agrees. But after all, you are educated youths like us. When something happens, just tell us. As educated youths, we all have to help each other, right?"

Zhou Jianjun was a little surprised, but looking at the other party's thin body, he didn't say anything else. Anyway, the village chief agreed, and he didn't want to be the bad guy.

"We should help each other, but since we are girls after all, there may be very little we can do to help. I hope you will understand me then."

"Of course, we are all adults, how can we force others to make things difficult for us! Which house do we live in? When will we move? Let me help you move everything there!"

"I heard from the village chief that the previous house belonged to Wang Mazi. It was that house. We didn't have many things, so we just took it over. You've been working for a day and you're already very tired, so don't bother."

Zhang Youyou refused without even thinking about it. An Le nodded as soon as the conversation between the two started, and then went into the room to pack her things.
Fortunately, I didn’t take out many things, so I packed a bedroll, so it wasn’t too much trouble.

During this period, the other educated youths in the yard were watching and listening to the conversation between the two. Some of them had nothing to do with them, some were disdainful, some were curious, and some were envious. In short, dozens of people had their own thoughts.
And some people feel that it will be lively again in the future, but it has finally calmed down a little, and the days are really exciting.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Guoan. I'm a few years older than you. I'm 22 this year. You can call me Brother Guoan. If you need help, just shout. I will definitely help you."

At this time, a male educated youth with a Chinese-style face brought a basin out of the room. When he saw the new educated youth, he hurriedly greeted him and said,
"Hello Zhang Zhiqing, my name is Zhang Youyou and I am 12 years old. If I really need it, I will ask everyone for help."

"You are only 12 years old! You are the youngest in this educated youth spot."

Everyone was a little curious. They had never heard of going to the countryside at the age of 12. Some people even whispered various speculations.

"You are not young anymore, and you can still contribute to the motherland."

Zhang Youyou twisted and said, everyone had a look of seeing through but not telling.
"Why are you so young? Hurry up and eat. The food is ready."

At this time, Zhao Pandi called out at the kitchen door and just picked up the conversation.

"Then we won't disturb everyone's meal. Are you ready? Let's go."

"Okay, okay, it's been done a long time ago. Haven't you seen these things being moved out? Hurry up, you come too."

An Le's big bag had already reached the door. Zhang Youyou hurried over to catch him. Zhou Jianjun originally wanted to help, but they refused, so he stopped insisting.

After saying a few polite words to everyone, the two of them took their belongings with them and left.

As for the discussion among the educated youth, of course they couldn't hear it, but even if they heard it, how they lived their lives was none of other people's business.

When I walked to the newly rented house, I was busy cleaning and tidying up my own room. After all the fuss, Zhang Youyou finally lay on the bed.
A night without dreams went very quickly. The next day, because I had already inquired about it yesterday, I had already set the alarm clock before going to bed.
As soon as the alarm rang, I got up quickly. After washing myself, I ate a bowl of noodles and then left the room to wake Anle up.

Since there are no cooking utensils yet, and there is no hot water now, Anle has no choice but to wash up with cold water and grab two pieces of peach cake for breakfast.
After locking the door, the two of them chatted and walked on the road. It was not very far from them to the entrance of the village.

"Are you going to buy anything else?"

"I'm just going to get the package back. I won't buy anything else for the time being. I have everything I need to prepare and use, but there are a lot of packages. I may have to make a separate trip."

"It's okay! I'm here anyway, let's get it together."

Anle didn't know how much too much was, so she patted her small chest and said generously,

"Well! Thank you very much!"

Zhang Youyou chuckled, thinking of Anle's expression when he saw that pile of things.
"Hey! Let's hurry up. There's still room on the oxcart."

Suddenly Anle shouted, pulled Zhang Youyou and ran forward. As soon as he arrived in front of the bullock cart, he didn't even have time to say hello. He sat on it, turned sideways and happily patted the seat next to him. Youyou quickly sat on it. ,

"Hey, this is the new educated youth who arrived yesterday!" He looks really fair.

"I heard that two of them came yesterday, and they were both girls."

"What can this guy with thin arms and thin legs do?!"

"Oh, this little girl is too thin!"

As soon as the two of them appeared in the car, everyone in the car was in a panic. They were still chatting until they got into the car.

An Le and Zhang Youyou looked at each other. It was really hard to explain what they were talking about in other people's mouths. An Le saw that what he said was not a big deal, so he pretended not to hear it.

Zhang Youyou felt that more is not less, so she closed her eyes and leaned against Anle, pretending to catch up on sleep.
Fortunately, this group of aunts and aunts just said it all, they just treated it as a curiosity and just said a few words. There were no weird things that Zhang Youyou imagined.
Although the oxcart was bumpy, it was still faster than walking. Two people who had never ridden in an oxcart had set a precedent today.

"Uncle, I'm going to the post office to pick up a lot of my daily necessities. Can you help me run there first? Send all my things back, and then pick them up again?"

When they arrived at the town, Zhang Youyou and others had finished their journey, and then they discussed it with Sun Guaizi, who was driving the car, and said,

"Okay! But there will be an extra two cents for the shipping fee. The money is not for me, but for the village. I know you two are coming to the post office and I will pull you over directly."

Upon hearing this, Anle and the other two were happy. Zhang Youyou thought that he had to go get it by himself. This was fine. The two got on the bullock cart again. The road in the town was much smoother than the road here. It was so bumpy and we soon arrived at the post office.

"You go in and get it, I'll wait for you here."

Sun Guaizi sat there and didn't move. He was holding the cow rope in his hand, pulling it back and forth.

"Okay, we'll be out right away."

Zhang Youyou replied and entered the post office quickly.

"Hello, comrade! I'm here to get my parcel."

"Serve the people! Hello, comrade! Please bring your receipt over and let me have a look."

Zhang Youyou quickly handed over his receipt, and the staff took a look at it.
"You have a lot of stuff! Can you handle it? Come and sign. The stuff is right there. It's all yours to take."

"It's affordable, thank you very much."

"You're welcome."

Zhang Youyou hurriedly signed, walked to a pile of things, picked up two of them, and walked out. Anle stuffed a letter into the mailbox. This was an urgent letter requesting support. He wrote it after working the night shift last night and finishing his own affairs. I came over to see Zhang Youyou carrying her things and walking out. I saw that there was such a big pile of good guys. Isn’t this a bit much?

Seeing Zhang Youyou running for the second time, she realized what she was doing. She hurried over and hugged one of them before heading out.

"Oh my god! Yoyo, are you moving?"

With so many things, are you sure it's really not a move?

"Well, almost!"

Zhang Youyou was also a little embarrassed, and the movements of her hands sped up a little faster. Anle just sighed with emotion. She really didn't expect that there were so many. By the end, the bullock cart was full, and they were piled high.
Sun Guaizi also specially took a piece of rope and wrapped it around all the packages to secure them, just in case one of them would fall off halfway.
"Your postage costs are quite high, right?"

Sun Guaizi took a deep breath of dry tobacco, slowly exhaled a burst of smoke, and said slowly,

"There's no way! I'm the only one in my house now. If I don't take these quilts, mattresses, pots and pans with me, I'll only be able to make it easier for others, and I have to buy new ones here. I've done the math, and I don't think it's worth it. , I can only send them all."

Zhang Youyou said with some embarrassment. Sun Guaizi nodded after hearing this.
"Life is like this. There's no point in buying new ones. Calculated this way, it's cheaper to send them over. Once you're all seated, I'll send you back first and then come and pick you up."

"Well! Sit down already, I have to come over later!"

Sun Guaizi didn't say anything. He was a man of few words. He couldn't find anything to talk about even after a few sentences.

Anle was chattering along the way, asking various questions. Zhang Youyou told her what he knew, and some also expressed that he didn't know.
Maybe because there were not many people, I had to run back and forth faster this time. When I got back, I put all my things in the room first, and then followed into the town.

"Uncle Sun, you must be hungry too! Let's go get something hot, I'll treat you."

"How can I treat you little brat to a treat? Just go and eat. I have to look after the cars and the cows!"

In the end, Sun Guaizi drove the bullock cart to the state-owned hotel outside.
"Uncle Sun, please wait here for a while. I'll go in and buy you a bowl of noodles. Don't run away. We won't be able to finish it."

"Okay, I won't run."

Sun Guaizi was very happy. He had never seen anyone insisting on a treat!He felt a little embarrassed.

After a while, Zhang Youyou brought out a large bowl of shredded pork noodles with an egg on top. Sun Guaizi, who was sitting on the edge of the car, saw her bringing out a large bowl with both hands. He looked cautiously and guessed that it was very full, so he quickly stood up. stand up,
The moment he saw the bowl, the eyes of the dozens-year-old man suddenly turned red.

"Uncle Sun, hurry up and get hot!"

Zhang Youyou didn't think much about it. She just didn't expect it to be so hot. She would have known better to wear a pair of gloves!

"Ouch! Why is Zhang Zhiqing so embarrassed? I..."

As she spoke, she quickly took the bowl over. After all, it was really hot, so don’t burn the doll.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Sun, for today. If it were anyone else, I would probably ignore me! It's just hard work and you have to eat outside."

"It's not hard, it's not hard! You're joking! It's such a good thing that I haven't eaten during the Chinese New Year!"

Sun Guaizi's lips trembled with excitement. He was afraid that people would read the joke, so he quickly said:
"Then you eat first, I'll come out and get it later."

Zhang Youyou saw that his eyes were a little red, so she hurried away. Even as she stood, she didn't know what to say.
When Sun Guaizi saw the person leaving, he looked at the noodles in his hand and stared at the noodles. He suddenly mixed the noodles with chopsticks twice and started eating them. No one saw two hot tears falling on the noodles, and they were all eaten together. Sun Guaizi took it into his mouth,

"It's been a long time since I've had hot noodles. Come on, Yoyo. Do you want chili?"

"Yes, why don't you want it? Look, I specially brought a bottle of chili oil!"

Zhang Youyou took out a bottle of spicy oil from his bag and said with a smile.

"Ah~ you are so awesome! Why didn't I think of that? Hurry up and give me more."

Anle was extremely happy. If you want chili pepper here, you have to go to the window to ask for it. It’s okay to ask for it. The main thing is that these people are so arrogant that they are so stinky if they take something they paid for. This is not the case. Those who spend money, let them take it, just like digging out their flesh,
"This noodle is good, hurry up and eat it."

One person added some chili oil and mixed it into the noodles. Instantly, a layer of red oil floated on the soup noodles. It looked even more appetizing than before.
The two of them had bright red faces and lips as if they were wearing lipstick.

"This little girl, please pour some chili oil for me too."

The two of them were enjoying their meal when a sudden sound sounded next to them. Zhang Youyou swallowed the noodles in her mouth and looked up. It was a woman in her forties or fifty.

"I'm sorry! This chili pepper belongs to me, not from the hotel."

"I know you can pour me some, I like spicy food too."

Who is it if it's not you?I ask for something when I come up and I give it to you right away. It’s none of my business if you like to eat it.

Zhang Youyou was thinking in his heart and was about to speak, but Anle was not happy over there.
"Who are you not? Why should I give you my food? Why do you have the nerve to ask for it? This is oily chili pepper! We spent a long time to get this bottle, and you open your mouth to give it to you. , then do you want to give me some of your money?"

"Hey, you two girls are so sharp-tongued, what are you doing? If you don't give, you won't be punished. Be careful not to get married in the future."

The woman thought that the little girl was thin-skinned and would not object if she spoke, because she would give her a little face. However, she did not expect that things did not go as she wanted, and her face suddenly dropped.

"It's none of your business whether you marry or not. What's going on! Do you want to have a feast or something?"

"You~ hum!"

Seeing that everyone else was laughing at her, the woman left angrily. Before she left, she gave them both a hard look in her eyes.

"Who is this? It's just baffling."

Anle complained,

"Whatever, just eat it quickly! The noodle soup should be eaten hot. It won't taste good when it cools down later."

Zhang Youyou didn't care, she wouldn't let others take advantage of her, but she still put away the bottle of spicy oil.
The two finished eating quickly, and Zhang Youyou also sent back the empty bowl from Sun Guaizi.

"Zhang Zhiqing, you go shopping! I'll wait for you at the entrance of the town. The others will probably be there soon."

Sun Guaizi held the cow rope and said,

"Yeah! Now that we know it, let's just take a stroll and we'll be there soon."

After saying hello, the two of them walked along this road. This town mainly has a straight road leading from north to south, with a few small forked roads in the middle and at both ends leading to the surrounding four townships and eight villages, so it is not very big.

The main building is on this street. The two of them visited the department store and bought some snacks and candies.
Zhang Youyou has everything, and there is no need to buy it. After all, he just moved a carful of things back, and no one knows what is in it?
Comfort means that you already have everything you need. What you don't have is that you don't have enough money and you urgently need to recharge at home.

That is to say, because I had never been here before, I felt a little novel. After shopping around, I didn’t find anything interesting, so I went directly to Sunguai’s.
"Hey! These two educated youths didn't buy anything?"

"Maybe I don't need to buy anything just because I'm here!"

"That's why I'm lacking a lot of things, isn't it? I guess I don't have much money either."

"It's a joke, do rich people go to the countryside? Look at what happened over the years. There were a few rich people before. If they were really rich, they would run away in a short time."

"Let me see what you bought?"

"I can buy whatever I can. I finally saved up some cloth tickets for a whole outfit, so I'll take it back and start making it for my dog."

"Didn't your dog just buy clothes last year? Why do you want to make them again?"

"He is the only boy in our family, and our family conditions are poor, so we can only make him new clothes every year."

It's that group of people again, and those people are talking and gossiping,

Zhang Youyou and An Le were just like when they came, they didn't pay attention to anyone else and sat on the bullock cart swinging around as decorations.
