Happiness System

Chapter 201 The Ugly Girl Forced to Go to the Countryside 18

They also took leave to go up the mountain. It was the first time they felt that there were so many wild animals on the mountain and they were so big!

"Qin Xi, lend me your slingshot to see if it has any special functions!" Jin Zhe finally couldn't help it.

Qin Xi was a little dissatisfied, "Is it difficult to admit that I am a sharpshooter?"

"Ha." Jin Zhe just gave an awkward smile.

Finally, the slingshot fell into Jingyan's hands. He studied it for a long time and found that it was indeed an ordinary slingshot, the kind that cost two cents a sling in the city and was used to coax children.

Jin Zhe also noticed it, and he suppressed his laughter and said, "Qin Xi's hobbies are the same as boys', huh?"

Qin Xi rolled her eyes at him and said, "This thing isn't mine either. My stepmother bought it for her son."

As for how it got into her hands, it was naturally because the naughty kid thought the slingshot was invincible and wanted to use it against her!

But they didn't expect that they would be the ones to be punished!

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the seven people began to descend the mountain.

The dinner time agreed with the guests is six o'clock, so they can be home around four o'clock. Now, having meat on the table is a rich and respectable thing, and it doesn't matter whether it is exquisite or has a wide variety. Two hours is completely enough.

After returning to the new courtyard, Li Jianshe and Cheng Bing went to sell medicinal herbs, and learned how to process them from Dr. Liu. The female comrades went back to cook, and Jin Zhe and Jing Yan were responsible for some physical work.

"Qin Zhiqing, Jin Zhiqing, Jing Zhiqing, there's a letter from your family!"

When the team leader and his wife and the village party secretary and his wife arrived, they happened to meet a postman delivering letters, so they brought the person over.

The postman was a young man in his twenties. After confirming the identities of the people, he complained, "Why do you have several plots of land in your Youth League? The guy over there just now was trying to claim it. If the fellow villager who is building a house next door hadn't reminded him, he would have troubled me if his things were lost later!"

There were dozens of villages under the Hongqi Commune, and hundreds of educated youth came here every year. Few returned to the city, but many could not hold on and married local people. With so many people coming and going, it was really difficult for the postman to remember so many people.

Without waiting for Qin Xi and the others to speak, the captain said, "This is indeed a problem. I never thought that someone would claim the money for me before.

How about this, I'll find someone to put up a sign for you. This place will be called the Second Youth Hospital, the one next to it will be called the Third Hospital, and the place over there that is still under construction will be called the Fourth Hospital.

Please remember to write and tell your family so that they don’t send it to the wrong place.

"Little brother, from now on, if you receive letters from the Youth Home, find a child in the village to take you there to deliver them!"

"Okay, I'll remember that the letter from the Youth Hostel in Shitou Village needs to be sent to a naughty kid to help identify the person before it is given out!"

The postman took out the book and asked Qin Xi and the others to sign it, then continued to say to the captain: "You still have several letters here, you have to show me which hospital to send them to!"

"to make!"

The captain took the letter from the postman, took out the letters from Li Jianshe and Cheng Bing and asked Jin Zhe to sign for them, and then took the postman to the next door.

"Uncle Secretary, please come in and have some tea. We'll have dinner as soon as Dr. Liu comes. Please wait for a while."

Qin Xi was not familiar with the secretary's wife, so she could only pull Aunt Ma to greet them warmly.

There was a small plate of loose biscuits and a small plate of fruit candies on the table. The adults didn't touch them and just drank some tea. When everyone arrived and the meal was ready to start, Qin Xi divided the things into two portions and stuffed them into the pockets of Aunt Ma and the secretary's wife.

Recently, several of us have fallen in love with the delicious and non-greasy pickled fish, so this dish is naturally indispensable on today's dinner table. In addition, we also cooked a pheasant and a rabbit that we hunted today, and with the vegetarian dishes, the table is almost full!

Their yard hasn't had any electrical wires yet, and the team leader and the village party secretary are too busy to go to the commune to report it for them. Plus, they also want to wait for the fourth yard to avoid going there again.

The team leader also talked about this during the meal, "The commune is only responsible for pulling the line to the door, you have to pay for the wires and light bulbs in the house, and then you have to install an electric meter. You can't let the electricity come from the Youth League Home, otherwise you will make a fuss when you pay the electricity bill!

You see, the village has electricity, so why do some people still insist on using kerosene lamps? It’s because the electricity bills and wires are not cheap!

Think about it carefully. I will ask the Fourth Hospital. If you want to get electricity, I will find time to apply for it for you. If you want to get electricity, you can wait for a few days. The house will be completed in a few days. "

All six people in the fourth courtyard are boys, a bunch of rich weirdos. They would rather spend five dollars to hire a maid to cook for them than live with those girls who like to whinge.

Only one of the six male educated youth who came this year stayed, and nine of the original twelve male educated youth moved out, leaving only four with poor conditions in the educated youth home.

As for the female educated youth, one of the six new ones stayed behind, but only two of the original eighteen left, leaving a total of seventeen.

Not only the female educated youths in the Youth Institute regretted their decision, but even the villagers were shocked. How could the male educated youths in their village have such good family conditions? !

The team leaders didn't stay there for long. They had their meal and went back before it got completely dark.

Several male comrades helped pack up the things and then started to divide the money.

This time they still rely on their own abilities.

Although Qin Xicai had the least amount of medicine, she had the most money, more than thirty.

Others also gained a lot. Li Jianshe earned nearly 18 yuan this time, Cheng Bing and Zhou Paner both earned nearly 16 yuan, and Zhao Xiaofen still earned the least, she was only a little over 14 years old.

Because some changes were made when the house was built, the original 1.5-meter-high wall was made 2 meters, and it was raised and thickened. Then the eaves in front of the house were extended to form a corridor. The toilet and bathroom were not only separated, but also divided into men's and women's. One room became four...

The cost of the numerous changes increased by nearly fifty yuan, all of which was paid by Jing Yan.

The first thing the four debtors did after getting the money was to pay back Jing Yan's money, and then Zhao Xiaofen and Zhou Pandi paid Qin Xi ten yuan first.

Qin Xi pushed the money back: "Don't worry about returning it to me yet, just prepare the quilt and thick clothes. It's July now, and there will be a temperature difference soon. Prepare what you need first."

Zhao Xiaofen shook her head and pushed the money over again, "I still have enough money to buy a quilt. I have already made arrangements with the aunt in the village. Her family not only has extra cotton, but also coarse cloth.

I gave her ten yuan, and her parents made me a five-pound quilt, a coarse cloth quilt cover, and two pounds of cotton for a jacket.

Also, give that auntie fifty cents as a fee for her errands. I have enough money to pay them."

Zhou Pandi also nodded and said, "Yes, I also made a quilt, and asked for two more dollars of coarse cloth, so that I can make two sets of clothes!

If I can earn more than ten yuan every time I take a break, I can pay you back next month!"

After paying back Qin Xi, they also had to save money to pay back the team's food bills. Only after these two debts were paid off could they relax and consider other things.

Seeing the joy in their eyes, Qin Xi collected the money, went back to the house, got out a pen and paper, wrote them receipts, and waited until they had paid off the receipts before taking them to the team headquarters to destroy them.

By the dim light of the oil lamp, she took out the letter.

The Lin family did not reply to her letter, but Qin He and Grandpa Qin did.

Qin He's reply was very simple. He just said that he knew and would keep an eye on her room for her. He would also remit her the money on time next month when he got his salary. And that was it.

Grandpa Qin wrote a lot, saying that he had received the things she sent, and that her grandmother liked the soybean paste very much and cooked some dishes with it that day. He also told her not to be willful in the future and to get along well with other educated youth.

In addition to the letter, there were three ten-yuan bills inside.

Qin Xi could imagine her old lady regretting and unable to sleep after sending the letter.

Haha!

"By the way, which aunt did you find to make the quilt? Can you still make it? I want to make one for my old man and my old lady." She said as she shook the thirty yuan in her hand.

Zhou Pandi looked at the thirty in her hand, and was filled with envy. "It should be possible. My aunt said that many families in her hometown have extra cotton. In fact, my aunt also hinted that I should help her promote it, but I was too timid to say anything because I was afraid of getting into trouble."

"Please ask that aunt for me. I want a 1.6-meter-long quilt and a 1.8-meter-long quilt. They both use seven kilograms of cotton and are two meters long. I also need a quilt cover. In addition, I need five kilograms of cotton. Tell me if the money is not enough!" Qin Xi directly gave thirty yuan to Zhou Pandi.

The 1.8-meter-long quilt was prepared by her for herself. If her step-brother came over, she would use the 1.5-meter-long quilt for him.

The 1.6-meter one was sent back to the old man and woman. Now the quilts on the market are all 1.5-meter, and it feels a little small for her to cover herself with. As for why they didn't make one 1.8-meter, if it was bigger, her aunt might have something to worry about!

The reason is very simple: I feel sorry for the man suffering from the cold!

My uncle Qin Hai often had to go out for social events, and he didn't take care of his figure as he got older. My aunt got a job in the canteen of their unit through my uncle's relationship. Her job was to serve meals like an auntie who would take some leftover food home to eat because her hands would shake.

Plus, my uncle would often pack some food for him after social events, so the family wouldn’t have to worry about food, at least.

My aunt has a physique that easily gains weight, and both she and her husband are chubby, so a 1.5-meter quilt can hardly fit them all.

Zhao Xiaofen did not receive the letter, but that was within her expectations. Her brother was preparing for his wedding recently, and his family would definitely not be able to take care of her for a while after receiving the letter.

The men received the reply letters, but did not open them in public. They also sent things to their families. If the things sent back by their families were not as many as Qin Xi's, they would lose face!

After washing up and returning to her room, Qin Xi did not dwell on the fact that the Lin family did not reply to her letter.

It is possible that the letter and package might have been intercepted by someone.
