The consequence of the freezing of the ice for several days is that prices have skyrocketed, especially for heating-related items such as coal.

The family has a large population, the coal quota is large, and another family squeezes a coal stove to keep warm, with a tablecloth, three honeycomb coals for a whole day, and it is a big deal to go back to the bed early at night to sleep, and those who have a small population and a small quota will have a hard time.

Of course, when the weather is good, you can also go to the woods on the outskirts of the city to pick up firewood, which is also a way.

The Qin Xi brothers and sisters are doing well, the two of them have hoarded a lot of charcoal before, but now that the weather is cold, these things immediately come in handy.

In addition to firewood for heating, cotton and grain, the price has risen to varying degrees, even if it is Chinese cabbage, the price has risen with the tide, rising to five cents a catty.

Every city has a black market, and as long as there is an imbalance between the supply and demand of urban residents, there are people who want to make a profit and act as a middleman in it, after all, the price difference is really fragrant.

This is an ordinary winter day, although it is colder, but everyone has long been used to it, and has a small trick to deal with it, it can be said that the eight immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers.

Suddenly, an article in the People's Daily kicked off the prelude to the return of educated youths to the city.

Under such a major event as the return of educated youths to the city, the whole country was boiling, and many people ran to the streets to discuss this matter wantonly.

The educated youth in the countryside were much more excited, and even more, when they knew the news, they were directly crying in front of everyone, they were too difficult, they thought that they would have to spend their whole lives in the countryside, who knows, the peaks and loops, they can go back.

At the beginning, the educated youth went to the countryside, mainly because the food in the city was not enough to eat, but now this situation has been greatly alleviated, plus the college entrance examination has been resumed, and it is gradually relaxed, which is a normal thing.

Tang Ying was the first group of people to return to their hometowns, and at the beginning of November, they walked out of the railway station in Xiang'an City with two large bags of luggage with a hesitant face.

Obviously, she is very familiar with this place, and when she was a child, she often ran here with her friends to run and jump games, run around, and be free.

Now she felt that this place was very strange, and she was uncomfortable anywhere, as if something had restrained her, which caused her to be restrained when she walked, and she looked particularly cramped and uneasy.

A week ago, she sent a letter to He Yuan, which wrote when she would return to Xiang'an City, and when she brought it, she hoped to see him outside the train station.

Tang Ying looked left and right, she didn't see anyone, and she was a little disappointed, but she comforted herself, maybe the letter had not been delivered, after all, it was only a week since the day she sent the letter, and it was normal for the letter not to be delivered.

Now there are many educated youths who have returned to the city, and the people who send letters are like carp crossing the river, and the post office is a little too busy.

Although people can't see it, but the school can still find it, she lived in Xiang'an City when she was a child, and she knows everything about the situation in the city, not to mention it, but some of the more special, such as the school, the train station, the post office, the park and other places, must have been to, and they are very familiar.

This is the background of playing games when she was a child, how could she not be familiar.

In the past, when she was young, Tang Ying could walk from the train station to the supply and marketing cooperatives not far from the next door even with her eyes closed, but now looking at the appearance of the big changes outside the train station, she only felt strange, the familiar supply and marketing cooperatives were gone, and the place was changed to a bus stop, but a new four-story department store was built opposite.

looked down at herself in ragged clothes, the cotton clothes on her body had three patches, because of the limited craftsmanship, it looked quite ugly, and she didn't feel anything in Chen Hui Village, because everyone was the same, but this was in the city, and she felt that she was the little girl from the countryside at the moment.

Tang Ying first went to He Yuan's school to look for him, but she didn't know if the two missed it or what, she never found anyone.

There is no way, she can only go to Xiang'an University not far away, looking for Qinjiang Qinxi, these two people are still easy to find in school, at first she asked two people did not know, the third girl heard her brother and sister surnamed Qin, a Qinjiang and a Qinxi, both of whom had just entered this year, and suddenly remembered who they were.

After all, the brother and sister were admitted to the same school at the same time, and some people who knew still had memories of the two of them.

Although this girl and Qin Xi have different majors and are not familiar with people, they know her as a person!

The current university has not expanded its enrollment, there are only so many people in the school, at the gala, her accounting major and Qin Xi's foreign language major are together, at that time, everyone went up to perform the show, she really knew Qin Xi, after all, the songs she hummed at random were really novel and good.

"There are no classes yet, and Qin Xi doesn't have a dormitory, so I don't know where she is, but I can take you to the teaching building, and I can ask you which classroom she is in later."

Tang Ying was very grateful for this, thanked and thanked, and followed her.

Although her home is also here, the connection between the two parties has been severed for several years, and she prefers to trust the friends she knows in the countryside rather than complete strangers.

Besides, she has a grudge against her family, and between her and her sister, her parents made a choice, and since this is the case, then she doesn't want them anymore.

She didn't want to let her run away like a lost dog, if she wasn't really desperate, she wouldn't just go back, her self-esteem wouldn't allow her to do that.

When I arrived at the teaching building, I found out which classroom the foreign language major students were in, and after the classmate took Tang Ying over, she left, after all, she also had classes herself.

Today's behavior is purely kind, the kind that does not ask for anything in return.

After Qin Xi finished eating at noon, she went to the library to read a book, after all, it was clean there, and it was a little cold, but she came to school fully armed, so she was not afraid.

There is a wall clock in the library, and it was almost time for class, so Qin Xi and his friend Lu Jing packed up their things and went to class directly.

Coming up from the stairwell, still in the corridor, Qin Xi saw Tang Ying's figure, after all, she was too conspicuous at this time.

Among the students who came and went, were tall and tall, and held books in their arms, Tang Ying's figure with a large bag and a small bag was so conspicuous that she only swept it casually and focused her eyes on her.

Tang Ying engraved this day deeply in her mind, and she would never experience this feeling of inferiority again.
