Originally, Xu Ningyan still had the tickets in hand and wanted to go to the county supply and marketing cooperative to buy something to take back.

It's a pity that the supply and marketing cooperative hasn't opened yet at this time, and the only bus bound for Hongxing Commune in the morning will leave at eight o'clock.

The two of them had to carry their things and catch the car first.

Getting on the bus to buy tickets, Gu Zhiyuan wanted to buy them together, but Xu Ningyan flatly refused.

One size equals one size, and she doesn't take advantage of it.

In silence all the way, Xu Ningyan continued to close his eyes and rest his mind. When he returned to the unity brigade, there was still a tough battle to fight, so he had to recharge his batteries and be ready.

The bus was still bumpy and smelled bad, but Gu Zhiyuan seemed to be prepared and no longer had motion sickness.

It was almost noon and we finally arrived at Red Star Commune.

After getting off the car, Gu Zhiyuan suggested that he go have lunch first and then return to the Unity Brigade.

Xu Ningyan naturally had no objection. Anyway, when she went back to Xu's house, she would definitely not have lunch. She might as well have a delicious meal in the commune.

Nowadays, the commune can only have food in state-owned restaurants, but fortunately it's not past meal time yet.

Xu Ningyan bought egg pancakes from the county guest house. Although they were cold, they still tasted good.

I ordered tofu soup and fried pork slices, which were eaten with egg pancakes.

Gu Zhiyuan knew from Xu Ningyan's insistence on buying the ticket himself that Xu Ningyan was a self-respecting person who did not take advantage and was measured.

Very consciously, I ordered half a catty of rice and two more dishes. Then I took out an aluminum lunch box from my army green crossbody bag and ordered a portion of pork belly with pickled vegetables.

This meal alone cost nearly two yuan, not counting food stamps.

He is indeed very wealthy!

Xu Ningyan expressed her envy, jealousy and hatred under her real name!

After finishing lunch, the sun was shining brightly. Xu Ningyan had eaten and drank enough, and he felt a little drowsy.

However, I remembered that I had not bought the thank-you gifts for the captain and the others, so I forced myself to go to the supply and marketing cooperative again.

At noon, there are few people in the supply and marketing cooperative.

Xu Ningyan had a limited amount of bills, so she bought some brown sugar and a lock. She was going to live in Xu's house for the time being, so it was impossible without a lock.

I originally wanted to buy three packs of Big Rooster cigarettes to go back and thank the team leader and the others, but buying cigarettes also requires cigarette tickets.

This thing is in short supply in the city, and Xu Ningyan has no choice but to give up.

However, there were loose dry tobacco leaves nearby. It was said that they came from Yun Province and were more powerful to smoke than locally grown cigarettes. There was no ticket, and a pound of tobacco leaves cost [-] cents.

Xu Ningyan asked for a pound, which was divided into three parts and tied up.

After thinking about it, I bought another pound of the cheapest fruit candy. This kind of candy is full of saccharin flavor. Even if it is like this, rural children cannot eat even one piece a year.

Look at the things you bought again. If you carry them back like this, I'm afraid it will attract people's attention.

He simply spent seven cents on another backpack and threw all his things, including the things he bought in the county town, into the backpack.

The top was tightly covered with tobacco leaves, so I felt relieved.

She only bought her own things and didn't pay attention to Gu Zhiyuan.

When she finished shopping, she saw that Gu Zhiyuan's crossbody bag was already full of stuff.

Xu Ningyan didn't ask him what he bought. After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, the two of them hurried on their way.

There was no bullock cart on the way back, so I had to rely on my legs.

When they arrived at the commune, the two of them had to avoid suspicion, otherwise it would be bad if they were seen by the people in the brigade and gossiped about them.

Therefore, Gu Zhiyuan walked in front, and Xu Ningyan was four or five meters behind.

Xu Ningyan's body was suffering from severe losses. As he walked, his speed slowed down. He was sweating and holding on to a tree on the side of the road, breathing heavily.

After Gu Zhiyuan walked for a while, he looked back and saw that the Xu family girl was already far behind.

Judging from her posture, she might not be able to reach the unity brigade until dark.

He turned around and strode to Xu Ningyan. Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand to lift the basket on her body and carried it on his body. "I will carry it to the three-way intersection in front of the brigade for you. You can follow behind."

Then he took out a military kettle from his bag, stuffed it into Xu Ningyan's hand, turned around and left.

Xu Ningyan shook the kettle and found it was full.

She was indeed very thirsty. She hesitated and unscrewed the kettle, not daring to touch the spout. She just poured a sip of water into her mouth.

The water is sweet and slightly salty. It is a simple homemade sugar brine.

Drinking this when you are sweating and your mouth is dry is the best way to replenish your energy.

Xu Ningyan took a few more sips to quench his thirst, tightened the kettle, and quickly caught up.

Gu Zhiyuan was carrying these things on his back, and the speed of his feet was not too slow or too slow, but the sun was strong at noon, and the sweat on his forehead rolled down his cheeks, and his back was soaked with sweat.

Xu Ningyan caught up with Gu Zhiyuan, returned the kettle to him, and explained: "You should drink some too! Don't worry, my mouth didn't touch the mouth of the pot, it's clean."

Gu Zhiyuan glanced at Xu Ningyan, said nothing, took the kettle, unscrewed it, and swallowed slowly.

There was water that was too late to swallow, flowing down the corners of the mouth, Adam's apple, collarbone, and into the area covered by the collar...

Seeing this lively scene, Xu Ningyan couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

He lowered his head hurriedly and recited three times silently in his mind: form is emptiness, form is emptiness, form is emptiness!

Only then did he suppress the little lewd thoughts in his heart.

Of course Gu Zhiyuan noticed Xu Ningyan's scorching eyes at that moment. He couldn't see it clearly. It almost slid from the corner of his mouth to his Adam's apple, to his collarbone, and finally to the place covered by clothes. The suffocating expression was visible at a glance. Nothing left.

Although Xu Ningyan quickly lowered his head and looked away, Gu Zhiyuan only felt that the water was drinkable or not.

When I was distracted, I choked on the water in the pot before I could swallow it.

Xu Ningyan jumped a big step away, fearing that the water would choke her.

Gu Zhiyuan almost laughed angrily when he saw the culprit's disgusted look. He tightened the kettle, threw it to Xu Ningyan, and rushed forward in a few steps and walked away.

Although Xu Ningyan didn't know why Gu Zhiyuan suddenly seemed to be in a bad mood, maybe he choked in front of her and couldn't save his face?

He took a few steps back very considerately and decided to stay further away so as not to make Gu Zhiqing embarrassed.

At this moment, I happened to pass by a forest. Not only was there shade from the trees, but there was also a breeze blowing through it, which was very pleasant.

She simply slowed down her pace, blew a small breeze, picked off a locust flower, pinched it one by one and threw it into her mouth.

When the Sophora japonica flowers are in bloom, many people will pick the Sophora japonica flowers and mix them with flour to steam them to eat, which is sweet and saves food.

Rural children use this as a snack, chewing raw locust flowers in their mouths. It is very sweet, and no one dislikes it.

After Gu Zhiyuan walked far away, he looked back and saw Xu Ningyan looking as comfortable as if he were out on a spring outing. He shook his head speechlessly. She was still a little girl!

He suppressed the previous discomfort in his heart.

When he arrived at the three-way intersection of the Unity Brigade, Gu Zhiyuan looked at his watch. It was [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

At this moment, everyone in the brigade was working in the fields, and no one could be seen outside.

Gu Zhiyuan took off the backpack and handed it to Xu Ningyan. He took the water bottle, took out the aluminum lunch box from the backpack and put it in the backpack.

Xu Ningyan left quickly without waiting for rejection.
