The next morning, she was woken up by the cold, and the hard wooden bed hurt her back, and when she touched her forehead, the fever had subsided. Slowly turned over, moved his stiff limbs, and saw that he kicked the quilt out of bed in his sleep, and couldn't help but secretly curse himself for being stupid: there were too many Xinjiang cotton, down and silk quilts, space quilts, and silk quilts in the space, and I didn't even remember to take two beds out to sleep, making myself so miserable.

Hearing the noise of people in the yard, I couldn't sleep when I thought about it, so I got up, and went to the countryside to cut the queue to be a rural person, and I should strive to learn from the older generation of laborers, maintain a diligent and willing work style, and I will be laughed at if I sleep lazily.

However, in the late autumn and early winter, the production team basically has no work to do, as long as the team does not hold a meeting, the educated youth can move freely, chop firewood, cut and mow grass, otherwise they will go to the east village to the west village to find fellow villagers everywhere to play.

Lin Xi had no friends and no fellow countrymen, so he couldn't go anywhere, so he got up and found a toothless wooden comb, combed his shoulder-length hair into a double ponytail, and then cleaned up the dirty clothes he changed last night, took an enamel cup, a toothbrush, a towel, and went out with a bucket and a basin.

Several female intellectuals stood in the middle of the courtyard and laughed, when they heard Lin Xi open the door, they all looked over and found the wound on Lin Xi's forehead, Hu Xiaohong asked in surprise: "Lin Xi, what's wrong with your braincase?" ”

Lin Xi thought for a moment about the usual appearance of the original owner, bowed his head slightly and walked past them, and replied softly: "I fell on the mountain yesterday and was injured. ”

Hu Xiaohong: "Oh, why are you so careless?" ”

Zhang Yanfang snorted: "Baoli is angry, look at the firewood she chopped, a small bundle, we can match two of us with a bundle, and we can also drop ourselves, really!" ”

Another female educated youth pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, don't say it, people are Haishi educated youth, from big cities, and Miss Jiao, she has never worked since she was a child, so she was wronged here, it's pitiful." ”

"Poor what? Evil capitalists, exploiting class ......"

Lin Xi's footsteps kept walking out, this was in line with the original owner's character, no matter how ugly others said, they would not distinguish and refute it, of course Lin Xi was not like that now, but she hadn't washed her face and rinsed her mouth at the moment, and she was in no mood to deal with them.

A small river outside the village is murmuring, the bottom of the river is covered with pebbles, crystal clear, there are small fish and shrimp games among them, Lin Xi grows in the city, it is very rare to have such a clean and lovely small river, squatting by the river to wash his face and laundry, and teasing the small fish and shrimp under the water for a while, and then he went ashore and returned to the Zhiqing Point, the yard was quiet, and people did not know where to go.

After drying the clothes and entering his own room, Lin Xi took off the old wet shoes, took out a few pairs of new shoes from the space and put them on the ground, although he wanted to wear light and comfortable brand-name sneakers, and finally chose a pair of relatively inconspicuous gray rubber-soled cloth shoes to put on.

When I got up in the morning, I looked through it, and the original owner had more than 12 yuan hidden in the cotton sleeve, which was estimated to be all her money, and there was a backpack under the bed, with some old things in it, if anyone asked where the shoes came from, Lin Xi could say that these shoes were brought by himself from the sea market, and he was not willing to wear them.

Hungry, Lin Xi wanted to eat a bowl of hot fast food noodles, and was worried that there were people in other rooms, so he took out a jar of eight-treasure porridge and drank it just in case, and then ate two pieces of charcoal-grilled seaweed and a vacuum-packed marinated egg, then picked up the firewood knife and locked the door, and went up the mountain to chop wood.

Chopping wood is just an excuse, she thought about it when she ate breakfast: this body is already thin and weak, and yesterday it shed a lot of blood, dizziness and tinnitus at every turn, and it is very much necessary to supplement nutrition, but living in the same yard with the educated youth, if you eat something good, there will be a fragrance coming out, how to explain the source of food? If you can't grab it and you don't have the money to buy it, you can only make a fuss from the deep mountains and old forests!

In the afternoon, before the sun set, Lin Xi came back, still carrying a bundle of firewood the size of his head, and carrying a "net bag" made of soft rattan and thatch and leaves. Lin Xi showed them a bag of "wild eggs", which was not big, but there were many of them, there were twenty or thirty of them, and the aunts and aunts were amazed, and they couldn't help it with envy.

As for whether it is a wild egg? Of course not, it is a newborn egg of a small hen made from the supermarket area in the space, which is only half the size of a normal egg, with high nutritional value and better taste.

Back to the Zhiqing Point, the other intellectuals have come back, and they are cooking dinner, for Lin Xi to pick up wild eggs on the mountain, the male intellectuals have no reaction, and several female intellectuals are also quite greedy, but they excluded Lin Xi from the beginning and did not let her eat in the same pot, and at this time they were not embarrassed to ask others for eggs, Hu Xiaohong stammered to take things for Lin Xi, but was refused, Hu Xiaohong pouted, and walked back to their common kitchen in a curtled manner.

Put away the bundle of firewood, Lin Xi opened the door and entered the house, also planning to cook a hot meal to eat, check the rice bag hanging on the beam is only about two catties of cornmeal, Lin Xi did not move it, took out two or two taels of rice from the space to cook porridge, put two chopsticks on the porridge, put a white flour steamed bun on it, and then fry four fragrant poached eggs, stir-fried a few tender asparagus, although there is no meat, but this dinner is quite satisfying.

When he was preparing to go to bed at night, Hu Xiaohong next door accompanied a male intellectual, named Feng Weidong, to knock on Lin Xi's door, Lin Xi opened the door and let them in, and the three of them stood and talked.

Hu Xiaohong: "Lin Xi, you picked up so many wild eggs today, you can't eat them all at once, they will spoil if you stay for a long time, why don't you sell some?" ”

Feng Weidong nodded: "Yes, I want to buy it, my cousin cut the queue in the village in front, just let people say that she is sick, I have to go and see, it's not good to go to the villager's house to find it at night, can you sell it to me?" ”

Lin Xi: "I was injured yesterday and bled a lot, and I also need nutrition, why don't you go up the mountain tomorrow to look for it, maybe you can find it?" ”

Feng Weidong smiled bitterly: "We don't run up the mountain as often as the people in the village, we are familiar with the habits of pheasants, this is unavoidable, not everyone has the luck of yours." ”

Hu Xiaohong said: "Oh Lin Xi, you can sell him a little, his cousin is really sick." ”

Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "Then I'll sell you ten." ”

Feng Weidong was very happy: "Okay, ten is ten, it's not easy for you, I'll give you the price of eggs." ”

Lin Xi nodded, she didn't know what the price of eggs was at the moment.

Feng Weidong took out a few tickets from his jacket pocket, counted out five dimes and handed them over, Lin Xi took it, and muttered in his heart that ten eggs will be given five cents? It's too cheap, isn't it?

Hu Xiaohong explained on the side: "It should have been two cents a piece, isn't there no ticket, I'll give you five cents each, it's very suitable, it's about the same as the black market price." ”

After the two of them left, Lin Xi thought about Hu Xiaohong's words while closing the door - the black market is a private transaction, you can go around, and it should be faster to get money from there.

The next day, Lin Xi was still ready to go up the mountain to chop wood, boiled a few eggs in his pocket, peeled them and ate them while walking, met Hu Xiaohong at the gate of the courtyard, and gave her one, Hu Xiaohong was very happy, and immediately decided to go up the mountain with Lin Xi to chop wood.

Lin Xi didn't say anything, in this educated youth spot, only the lively and outgoing Hu Xiaohong squeaked with her from time to time, and others were reluctant to approach her.

The two walked together, Hu Xiaohong's mouth kept talking, there were always endless topics, she quickly found the new shoes on Lin Xi's feet, and really asked where did they come from? Lin Xi said that when she left home, her grandmother stuffed her into a travel bag and was reluctant to wear it.

In fact, the original owner went to the countryside to cut the queue and didn't tell her grandparents at all, for fear that they would worry, so her grandparents still don't know that she went to the countryside to become an educated youth.

And she would rather go to the countryside to endure hardships and give up the quota for joining the army to her stepmother's niece, because her stepmother promised her that she could find a relationship and help her change a better place for her grandparents...... The original owner knew in her heart that her stepmother was mean, so she still gambled, but obviously lost the bet: after she left, her stepmother did not help her grandparents change houses, and the stepsister specially wrote to show off the engagement news, by the way: Your grandmother became a soup chicken in the rain when she swept the street, and she is now sick and dying!

Lin Xi was indignant in her heart, listening to Hu Xiaohong praising her shoes that the shoes on her feet were fashionable and good-looking, Lin Xi was a little speechless, this is the style worn by aunts in later generations, is it fashionable?

chatted with Hu Xiaohong along the topic, chatting and chatting about the black market, Hu Xiaohong didn't hide her secrets, she said a lot, maybe she felt that this was not a secret at all, Lin Xi learned a lot of information from her mouth, thought about it carefully, and felt that if she acted by herself, it would be better to go to the black market in the county seat, and if she met someone in the village, she would not be able to say it clearly - who in the village didn't know about her own situation? The income is not enough to eat by himself, and he has to advance the next month's food to the production team every month, and he is half hungry and half full, where can he get the food and materials to sell?

So the safest thing is to do business as far as possible.
